16th Birthday

2014-01-20T12:58:00.002-08:00

Long time no post...eh? The months of November/December were so crazy for us, I cant believed all that happened in the last two months.

In the beginning of November (after months of rehearsal) we did Aladdin Junior over at Theater Winter Haven. Delaney was cast as a narrator and I worked back stage! It was such a fun show and we were so sad when it ended.

Cast photo! I am on the far right at the bottom row (all black), and delaney is 5th in from the right in the top row.

Following that we had Thanksgiving and a Hanukkah party at our house! I have no pictures of that...sorry :-)

Then my birthday was December 20th! We had my party on the 21st, and it was the best. It was a masquerade part, where all of the guests wore masks and we had a murder mystery game throughout the night.

Haha, I love this one so much!

So many secrets!

Haha, Atalya was one of the biggest detectives! I love this photo :-)

End of the night with the ross girls! Had so much fun :-)

Needtobreathe Concert

2013-10-11T06:09:00.000-07:00

We went to another Needtobreathe concert in Ocala this past weekend, as always they were awesome :-)

Paul, Sherry, Josiah, Tammy, and Delany waiting for the concert to start! :-)

Panorama

Now, I know I have shown you pictures of the golf course that I live on before...but nothing is cooler (in my personal opinion) than a panorama :-)

My Week

2013-07-27T15:54:00.003-07:00

This past week has been super hot, with very little rain! Tuesday we went to the pool and then had Chinese food (the twins had McDonald's). Us girlies, looking very attractive of course ;P

After playing in the pool with them all day, Delany is the girls new favorite :)

Yesterday we had tacos at a local place, then snow cones! Blue tongues, lol that's just great ;P

July Recap

2013-07-21T16:41:00.001-07:00

Howdy do! Here is a little of my July in a mix of phone and camera pictures :)

4th of July was fun! Our family went to the nearby park, walked around eating fish and chips, listening to live music, and watching fireworks :-) Haines city may be small, but it has awesome fireworks! Here is a pic of me in the parking lot next to my dream car....dodge charger.

About two weeks ago the four of us went over to downtown Disney and watched the Lone Ranger.....it was awesome! Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer played Tonto and the Lone Ranger, and it was a great mix of action and comedy :-)

This weekend was a girls beach weekend! Our family met the Ross girls at Flagler beach, and we had a blast.

Delany, Olivia, Atalya, Tammy, Eliana

The view from our hotel room was awesome! Right across the street was the ocean, and it was amazing hearing the waves while we were sleeping :-)

The heated pool was wonderful after a couple of hours of swimming in the cold ocean and fighting the waves :-)

Eliana, Delany, Atalya

Chilling in the hotel room watching a movie....

Eliana and Delany

Atalya, Eliana, Delany, Olivia, Tammy

Last day! Its never fun to say goodbye :(

Hope you all had a good July!

Summer!

2013-07-12T07:55:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! So I have been at summer camp for the last three weeks of June, that why I have been...gone. Lol, okay so I went to theater camp....and it was AMAZING! I loved it so much I didn't want to leave, but there are other plays that I can audition for, so that makes me happy :-) The whole camp was about learning the auditioning process, casting, blocking, acting, singing, dancing, and fun. At the end of the three weeks we put on a full performance of Bugsy Malone, a 1920's mob show! Super cool :-) We performed it three times to a nearly full house, but I think every cast member would agree that it wasn't enough. It was so sad saying goodbye, we had become like a family over those three weeks! Go to theater winter haven's facebook page for photos! http://theaterwinterhaven.com/

I got some lovely flowers from the friends and family that came to watch us perform.

After camp I pretty much jumped right back into some summer classes that I had to finish up. Only about four more weeks until I start my Sophomore year of high school, and I will also be duel enrolling this year. One week after camp a group of cast member met up at the bowling alley and had a fun time :-)

Me and my friend Stefanie! :)

Alright, well I will be back before long! 'Later ;-)

Flagler Beach

2013-06-07T20:15:00.001-07:00

Last weekend we spent the day up at Flagler beach visiting some family who were down from North Carolina! It was the first time we had been to the beach since we moved here, and it was the first time to see my cousins baby, Noah. :-)

This is just the cutest face I have ever seen!

Delany's 14th Birthday

2013-06-06T12:02:00.000-07:00

Delany just celebrated her 14th birthday at the end of last month!

A key ring with the Irish crest for the name Delaney! If you know anything about Delany, you know she loves all things Irish....

Look at all those colors!

The les mis soundtrack, a gift that we were both super excited about :-)

Happy Birthday!

A little bit a' Charleston SC/Needtobreathe Concert

2013-06-06T08:10:00.001-07:00

Goodmorning! I am pretty bummed right now because its pouring rain....hopefully it stops before the weekend starts, because there is nothing more depressing than a rainy weekend. Anywho :-)
Charleston pictures! We visited there one weekend recently for a needtobreathe concert, and oh did I love it! The short time absolutely flew by, and I cannot believe how much we got packed into that weekend....I only snapped a few decently shots in between the crazy running around, and they certainly don't do Charleston justice.

There were so many restaurants and shops! Our first night upon arriving and meeting up with our cousin and her friend we ate on the rooftop of a wonderful seafood restaurant.

Market street was incredible! It was so busy, so many vendors and so much going it.....

See you soon :-)

Twins Belt Testing

2013-06-05T09:25:00.000-07:00

Today I have some picture from the twins yellow belt test in April.

Great job girls!

For a laugh......

2013-05-22T10:16:00.003-07:00

I was looking through pictures from the past year of the twins, compiling fun ones for scrapbooks when I came across this:

Haha, that expression was just too cute and hilarious not to post. Yeah, that awkward moment when someone takes a picture of you randomly, and this happens. :-)

Long-Time-No-Post/Spring Break

2013-04-27T14:53:00.000-07:00

Hello! Wow, its been a while huh? I thought I was going to get updated on posting during spring break, but we ended up taking a last minute trip to our friends the Rosses.

They just moved to the coolest house with this old, falling down barn/house in the pasture next to it.

The neighbor's dog, I think his name was Boo? He was pretty cute.

You gotta love those serious goofy photos...haha, not sure what Delany's face is.

DONKEY'S!!!!! They were the cutest thing ever :-)

And the cows, especially the babies....so cute.

I am not a chicken, but the adult cows did freak me out a little bit, especially when you showed them treats, and especially if it was that ^ guy. I mean look at his face?

The rosses cat buddy!

Tire swings are super fun! That me and Eliana :-)

Coming Soon!

The twins just tested for their yellow belts in Taekwondo, and I have a million pictures to show you! Seriously though, I think I took about 200 pictures in an hour....:-)

A little bit 'a: My life :-)

The party was fantastic, and it was great to spend the end of Hanukkah with our friends and family :-)
