Cousin Sleepover!

Yesterday my Aunt Laura had a big cousin sleepover, and I had TONS of fun! We played bocci ball, this really fun version of hopscotch, made this super cute bags, watched movies, had snow cones, and a bunch of other really fun stuff! IT was AWESOME and I can't wait to do it next year!

Camp Hamilton!

I am REALLY excited because today I got signed up for camp Hamilton! It is similar to Don Bosco, because it has the same sort of activities and it has the sacraments and stuff, but the place where it is is REALLY nice and pretty, because they have an 80 acre lake, and DB only has a pool from what I heard, so I am really excited! I will be going in a couple of weeks, and it is called adventure camp or something, and it is like a traditional camp for a week with swimming, campfires, hikes, outside games, crafts, etc. One of my friends may be going with me, but I have not heard back from her parents, and if not, we will probably try someone else! :) I will have pictures ( I hope ) to put on the blog, so you will see what it was like! It is from the 15th of August to the 20th, so it won't be for a while!

Thnx for reading,

Birthday Party!

Yesterday Clare McKenna had her birthday party, which was lemonade-ice cream themed! It was loads of fun, and we did things like make fresh squeezed lemonade( which was SUPER yummy! ) eat ice cream with plenty of toppings, and play games in the backyard. Later, all of my mom's side family and some of the McKenna's family friends came over to have a BBQ and watch fireworks!

Ride 4 US event

Today we went to a 4US event, which stands for " for ultra sound " because it is pro-life and it raises money for ultra sound machines! There were a whole bunch of races to raise money, like biking, running, riding in the car, and walking. There were also events for the younger kids, like for babies the Diaper Dash, and other races for the older kids. From Anne Marie to John Luke, the kids raced in a 1K race, and Anne Marie got around 3 for the girls, and John Luke ( 4) beat Mary Catherine, and Catherine Prato our cousin ( both 8 ) . We also had popsicles, which were in dry ice, and I put mine to my tongue, and it got stuck, and I couldn't get it undone! And it was stuck and it hurt and I couldn't talk. So my Aunt Laura poured water all over it, but THEN she got it on my face, which smeared my face paint that had a heart that said " 4 US " and now I'm really sad because I waited a whole half an hour to get it on . :( Oh, well. Here are the pictures!

Brain Buster

Here is the answer to the last one :


There was a man who was born before his father, killed his mother, and married his sister. Yet, there was nothing wrong with what he had done. Why?  He was born in front of his father, his mother died because the baby was born, and there was nothing they could do about it, and he became a pastor and married is sister to her husband.  


A man and a woman were driving in their car when it broke down. The man decided to go for help at a gas station a few miles back. He made sure nobody was in the car, rolled all the windows up, and locked all of the sedan's doors. He went off, but when he came back, his wife was dead, and there was a stranger in the car. No physical damage was done to the car, so how did the stranger get in?

Photo Shoot!

I did a photo shoot with my sisters Anne Marie and Mary Catherine, and they all turned out great! Here are some of them...

Thursday Thing

Sorry, I was SO busy yesterday I had no time to do a Thursday Thing! Here is yesterday's :

Mini caramel Frap! We went to Starbucks and got a big Carm. frap and split it into cups for all the kids!

Camera Time!

Since I am not doing my photography blog anymore ( read below ) I am going to be doing lots of things with my camera on THIS blog! I will be doing things like pic tips or just putting up really cool pictures! If you did not read my last pic tip, here it is :

When taking pictures, don't try to take a picture of every little thing and everyone. Try to blend in and take pictures, so people don't get annoyed that you take a bazillion pictures, and if you really need to, do it so that you don't take pictures of their face, because you may not believe this but pictures look better ( to me ) when you can't see people's faces! Try it yourself!

Other blog

I have decided that it is too hard to maintain both blogs at the same time, and there is too much pressure, so I am not doing the other one, and will just stick to doing this one.

Thnx 4 reading,
