New Haircut

Kevin and Elaine along with Amanda and Darren went to Brazil for two and a half weeks and they got back a week ago. While they were there Darren got his first haircut. Now he looks a lot like Trenton. He's still really cute, but he looks older than before.

The happenings of this weekend

Tomorrow my mom and I are going shopping. Then around 4:00 two of my friends from church (Sophia and Rachel) are coming over for a sleepover birthday party! It's for all three of our birthdays, though all of them were in September, October and November. :) We would have had it sooner, but a wedding, getting wisdom teeth pulled and basketball games made it a little hard.

On Friday my mom and dad and maybe Steven are going up to Chicago to pick up my Kevin, Elaine, Amanda and Darren from the air port. They were in Brazil visiting Elaine's family.
That night we will be going to church for a good Friday service and then Anne and I plus others from church have a choir practise. (We're singing in a choir on Sunday for Easter.)

Sunday Anne, Steven and I have to wake at 5:00 to go to the church. Anne and Steven along with the rest of the high school kids will be making a pancake and sausage breakfast *yikes*.
At 6:45 we have more choir practise and at 7:00 we have a sunrise service that everyone comes to. That is when the choir will come up and sing. :) When the service is done we all go out to the A.P.R (where we eat) for breakfast.
Later in the morning we will have our regular Sunday service.

His always,

Wedding.....

A week ago was my brother Alan's wedding. The long awaited wedding came. It was beautiful! At the reception we had a barn dance. Lots of people got into it and had lots of fun.Though it was busy we had a wonderful time talking to friends, seeing my brother across the room with the woman of his dreams was both saddening and happy. Life would be different without Alan coming home every night, but I was getting a new sister! Adding number 15 to our family and making everything much merrier! Melissa is so sweet, loving, cheerful and best of all she loves Jesus with all her heart and seeks him throughout her life. Plus there are now just as many girls in our family as boys. :D HaHa.
Here are some pictures........

Ok. So Lenna keeps telling me I need to post. So, as she told me I should do. I'll post how our upcoming wedding plans are going. Well as of today. It's 9 days till the wedding!!! Our whole family is going to be in the wedding (all but the two babies).
On Sat. we're making a whole bunch of lasagna for the rehearsal dinner.
At the rehearsal dinner on the 1st of Feb. we'll be practicing barn dancing since there's going to be a barn dance at the wedding. The wedding party is dancing the first dance. So that means everyone (like over 300 people) will be watching. Yikes. :O But it'll be fun. That's about all to say. There's lots of little things, but those of you who will be coming to the wedding will find out for yourself.
