The crazy Brady party. :D

Saturday was a pretty awesome day. :D  I did my jobs, I did my laundry,  I read a GOOD book......I had a great time.  At 3 Pm -ish My friends Annie and MaKenzie Abbott picked me up and we went to the mall for a few hours.  We didn't really do a whole lot.  We walked around looking at wirklich nett ( "Really Cute" in German) yet expensive clothing.  I bought one item at American Eagle.  It is a black sweater type thing.  It was on sale so....my logic was "Hmm This is REALLY cute and it is a reasonable price.  I think I'll get it."  So that's how that went. :D  After our searching we went to the food court.  I got a Stromboli, MaKenzie got a Pizza and Annie got a drink from Orange Julius to share. It was quite a delightful meal.  lol :D  We after our meal we headed to Barnes and Noble because MaKenzie had a gift card that she wanted to use.  But she ended up not using it because we were out of time.  So we ventured out into the BLISTERY wind.  ( OK.  It was so windy outside that we were getting blown over!!! It was CRAZY!!!  AAHHH!! )  Once we made it to the car some what safely, MaKenzie was blown off a curb and rolled her ankle, we head for the Abbott's home.   Once at the Abbott home we got ready for Nathan Brady's "Not-going-to-Winter-Formal" party.  It was really fun.  When we got there we started playing the Wii and Ping-Pong.  At the TV with the Wii was Annie, MaKenzie, Nathan, David, Derek, Katelin......and so forth.  At the Ping-Pong table it was Bryce Franzen and Greg Abbott against Ashley Franzen and McKenna Fox.   It was the most intense game of Ping-Pong I have EVER played.   The reason it was so intense was because of Greg and I both have SWEET NINJA skills.   Bryce TRIED to convince us that he had SWEET NINJA skills.....but....the sad truth is that he just doesn't have the SWEET Skills to be a NINJA.  lol  After our INTENSE game of Ping-Pong,  the boys went outside and started Free Running.  It was.......interesting.....yet slightly cool looking. :D  After Free Running everyone joined in and we played tag home base and freeze tag.  I enjoyed Freeze Tag more.....but that's just my personal opinion. :D  When the game started drawing to a close Annie said it would be fun to star gaze so I said " We should!' and sat down then and there and looked up at the sky.  It was very beautiful and clear.  A few minutes later Annie suggested that the three of us (Annie, Christy and I) should go sing.  So we made our way back to the house and sang.  It was super fun.  But just as I was about to go downstairs......Emmalyn and Lauryn walk in and say that I must leave that very minute.  So I said my farewells and made my way to the car.  I was kind of sad that I had to go,  but I was really happy that I did get to go.  So I pretty much was happy all the way home.

The End.  LOL! :D

Laugh and Smile ALWAYS!!

Episcopalian experience.

Today I had the opportunity to go sing at an Episcopalian church.  It was an interesting experience.  I think it is so interesting to visit other churches and see how different things are.  The music they sing at their church is more....hhmmm how should I put it?....lively then ours?  Maybe not.....all I really know is that I thoroughly enjoyed the music.  The songs had the same principles we believe in....so I didn't think that is would be sacrilegious or anything to sing the songs.  The song I sang with my group was "I Hard Him Come" written by Jeff Goodrich?....I think.....  After the service everyone told us that we did a wonderful job and that they would love us to come back.  They said that the name of our group should have something to do with angels.....'cause that's what they said we sounded like.  :D The youth that sang included:  Hannah Harlon, Emily Harlon, Annie Couch ( Claire Couch was unable to participate because she was felling quite unwell :'( Get better soon!) Lindsey Lopez, Abby Elliot ( who attends the Episcopalian church), Emmalyn Fox and I, McKenna K. Fox....lol :D

It was an interesting experience that I don't think I'll forget soon.

Well I hope that all y'all will have a super brilliant day!  I Love you all! <3

           Laugh and Smile ALWAYS!

TOE SHOES!!!!

I learned about Toe Shoes awhile ago from my friend who recently got some.  They are EXTREMELY cool!  I really want a pair!  Today I was just thinking about the type of shoe I should bring on the europe tour My Father and I are going on.  Our tour guide, Dr. Andrew Groft, said that we should have good shoes.  So then I started thinking that maybe Toe Shoes would be a good option.  So.....this post is pretty much me saying..... "I REALLY WANT TOE SHOES!!!!".  

So.....don't mind me.

January 2, 2009! (HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES!)

Today is James' OFFICIAL 1st birthday!!  I can't believe he's 1!!!!  Just this past week he has been getting more active.  He is so adorable! Yesterday we had a SMALL new years/family birthday party for him, because Dad is out of town for the next couple of days on a Mona-Vie trip.  

My Dad left this morning around 3:30 am for the airport with Uncle Phil and Bryce Phillips.  They were flying to Orlando, Florida.  At 8 Emmalyn and I got up all bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready for our temple trip at 10:30 am.  I love going to the temple.  It makes me extremely happy.  I can't help smiling when I'm there. :D The reason for this joyous activity was because the wonderful Sister Abbott (with the help of many other individuals) organized a stake youth temple trip.  It is a HUGE ordeal.  They set up about 5 different sessions, and at each session there are a bunch of youth from various wards that signed up to come to do temple work at that specific time.  I am very grateful for that opportunity.  There were around 8 young men and around 15 young women.  

Well, I'll keep you all posted.  Thanks for all the posts!  I sure do appreciate them!!

Laugh and Smile ALWAYS!!
