2007 Homecoming Fashion Show

So for the last couple weeks I have been basically stressing about this fashion show. I had to book the auditorium, get models and escorts, make fliers, make music track, send 100 names of interested girls in the dresses. So the fashion show went sort of smoothly, but due to good friends it went fine. But i will deffinately know what to do to fix the problems of this time. So here is the pictures from the fashion show!!

*A special thanks to Kara for taking the pictures for the fashion show!!

My times with friends seem to get disapointing and I don't know why

Hey so basically every one seems to be leaving lately. For instance I was trying to get friends together tonight, and every one said OK last night when we were hanging out . . . But Lavell left for Utah until Monday night, with out telling anyone, Jeff left yesterday to cut down trees by the cabin in McCall, Rachel wont answer any of her phones, but I found out later because she called that she was at her neighbors, and Amy said she would be here at 8:30 and I am writing this now at 10 with still no phone call. I know I am a happy person, but I feel that I was let down for no reason. I have no clue what is going on. But I guess it is life, and I have to deal with it!!

Crash and Burn!!

As I get home from colorguard practice and I start working on my homework, my mom tells me that they think Jay has an Appendicitis, so they are going to the doctor. Not knowing exactly the extremes of this I kept on doing my homework while checking on the other 5 kids every couple of minutes. Then one of my AMAZING friends, Kanda, asks if she can come over to my house so that I can help her with her dot book (a book of charts we use when we are first learning our spots for marching band/colorguard). So I called my mom and she said that would be fine. So slowly it starts getting later it is about 6:30 now and I call my mom, asking what is going on. She says that Jay is going in for X-Rays, in about an hour, so I said I would make dinner, and she said that I could make chicken enchiladas, because that was my dinner choice of the week (Each kid in our family makes dinner one night, picks the meal and helps mom/makes it them self). So as I was going between doing my homework and making dinner and watching the kids I think Kanda was keeping me sane (even if she didn't know it). So then Kanda and I got our hands dirty and plunged them into the stuffing and had fun making the chicken enchiladas.

So dinner turned out really well, and I am really happy about that. As I got calls through the night from my mom, I updated everyone on Jay. Jay definitely had an Appendicitis. So that night he would have surgery, and who knows when my parents would come home from staying with Jay. Kanda left at 9ish, and we hugged, saying how we would see each other later! I had put the first 2 kids in bed an hour ago, but the 3 older kids got to stay up. My mom called at about 10:30 to say that she was coming home. As I started to put the last 2 in bed, my mom came home. That is when it happened, my absolute complete melt down. My body and emotions were exhausted. I just start sobbing, because I can't handle it any more, the stress of taking care of kids, have a brother sick, no parents to help, trying to make a nice dinner, and getting back from a hard day of colorguard. I know I shouldn't complain, but I was purely exhausted. That is when I knew my bed was definitely calling my name *Kim* *Kim* *Kim*, as my mom hugged and kissed me and told me to go to bed, because I needed to rest. That was the lowest I think of lows for my strength. But it is a wonder what a night of sleep can do.

Snow ball fight?!?!? In summer?!?!

Let me set the background of this event before I tell what happened. It was about 1:00pm on Tuesday. I was at a river spot for lifeguarding. This spot is located across from leisure lagoon and behind me is a fence which on the other side is the break room and the back of some of the food joints.

So as I was sitting, I hear a loud shout saying...

" SNOW BALL FIGHT "

That is when it hit me from above. A cold ball of unflavored snow cone now dripping down my shoulder. Well, the food people sure thought it was funny because I could hear many giggles from behind the fence. As for me luckily it was a hot day, and the shock of it sent a little too much adrenalin going through my system. So if any one says there can never be a snow ball fight in summer, send them my way, and I will set them straight!

Princess for a Day!

SO today as we were comming home from church Jay (my little brother) says, "Kim, you look like Cinderella!" I thought that was really sweet, but then he says, "No seriously, you look like Cinderella!" Then Justin (another one of my little brothers) says, "Yea Kim, you look like a princess, all your missing is a crown... and a prince!" I thought it was so sweet and it was a deffinate high light to my day today!

Whipped Topping

So I wanted to have some friends over last night. And Jeff had a great Idea to make a couple pies. So we called everyone up and went to pick up Amy. First off Amy was high on sleeping pills and could barely stand, which made it very interesting her wanting to go with us really badly. So we walked her to the car. and then we went shopping at Pauls. Amy sat in the kiddie seat and we went around getting the ingrediants for a banana and creme pie and chocolate pie. As we got home after the interesting shopping trip. We started right away! We then went out on the trampoline for a while till the pies cooled down then we came in. As we finished putting shredds of chocolate on the top we started doing to thing where you smack the others back side with your foot, and you kind of fling it up. Well Lavell did it to me, so I "tried" to do it back. Well lets just say he had a plot, he grabbed my foot and I was a one legged prisoner. So as he walked around making me go with him, I decided to fight back, by getting my spatualla with whipped topping on it and put it on his nose. Then he decided to put his hand in, and shoved it on my face. Lets just say we got a little crazy. But then Rachel helps hold Lavells arms down when Amy wabbles over and has the lid to the whipped topping and covers his face. It was so much fun. And as soon as I get copies of pictures from my friends I will so be putting them on this blog. Well have an amazing life and keep it filled with "sweet" moments like whipped topping!!
