Tomorrow is Memorial Day. In my mind, Memorial Day has lost it's true meaning. It is supposed to be a day to remember the soilders who gave their lives to protect our country. At least where I live, tomorrow is a day that we will be having a party. The neighborhood pool opens. We all celebrate, but not our soilders, the comming of summer and the end of school for this year. Does anyone actually remember what Memorial Day is about anymore?!

Here is a picture of my neighborhood pool that i took not 15 minutes ago from my back door. This is what even I am looking forward to tomorrow.

Have a swell Memorial Day!

Here she is! And pictures of my dad's other children. None of me, I couldn't find a good one!
My sisters playing together. Avarie and Harper
Just Avarie. I took this one, I'm pretty proud.
Keigon. You can't really tell here, but he is evil. I took this one, too.
Keigon again. Playing soccer. Or not. Man, I sure take a ton of pictures!
That's them. I am currently digging throught my computer to find a picture worthy of being put on the world wide web.

No wonder I can't find one, I take all of the pictures. Always behind the camera.

p.s. correction from an earlier post, Harper's middle name is Elisabeth not Elizabeth. Sometimes I think my step mom needs to be put on meds. Why must she do everything so strangly?!

YEAH! My step-mom had her baby on Monday! A cute baby girl named Harper. She was 8 lbs. and 2 oz. What a cutie pie! I'm going to work on getting some pictures on here later tonight or tomorrow. Sorry this is such a short post but I have TONS of other stuff going on. Got to go do my homework!
Have a swell day!

Spring has arrived out of nowhere. All the flowering trees are gorgeous and the grass is green. When I wake up in the morning, I can hear birds chirping. That sort of thing really puts a smile on my face. Yesterday we had a tornado warning at about ten at night. The sirens went off right after I had said to my step-mom, "Hey, it looks like this storm is going to hit us any second. Maybe we should get some flashlights out." And then BAM! there were the sirens. It really caused a lot of confusion in my household. My siblings had just fallen asleep and I was on my way to take a shower. Obviously, it didn't happen. This is off topic but, did you know that you arn't supposed to take a shower durring a lightning storm?! But even thought it caused stress and disruption, I was still mildly happy because you know it's truely spring when you have tornado warnings. What types of severe weather do you have where ever it is that you live?
Have a swell day!

Oh man! I changed my layout and it deleted my poll! If I put it back on, will you guys vote again? Depending on your answer, I will or won't. Maybe I should just make a different poll. Do you have any suggestions? I'm open for anything that comes to mind.
Have a swell day!
