Holiday Bowl

Bowling with Some MAD SKILLS.
November 28, 2009

We all wanted to get together and do something. At first, we were going to watch a movie together. THEN we didn't get around till later, so we decided to do something else. Ace suggested bowling. So we called to make sure they were open (they were), so off we went. Doug & Heidi, Johnny, Jesse, Ace, & I (oh, and Caden) all went bowling. It was great fun, it was super packed, and we didn't spend that much money!! Here are some o' the pictures from bowling.

Yes, Ace made this face on purpose.
Please note the "Stop No Bowling Shoes Outside" Sign!

I made him take the picture AGAIN!

Feet Picture.

Here is the score at the end o' the game. Oh, in case you are wondering what all the names say it says:

Giant = Doug.
Hi-C Big Butt = Heidi.
Ace = Adam.
Jill Will = Me.
JMacc = Jesse (cause that could mean Johnny, Jesse, or Me...well not me anymore).
Da Bod = Johnny.

**Please note the score. Then look at Johnny's row, see how he got a spare practically EVER round. Jesse got ONE spare the whole game. Yet, by rolling 3 strikes at the very end, he was able to TIE the game. It was a pretty intense game. We were all screaming, and it was amazing that he got 3 strikes in a row, especially with so much pressure.It was a great time...and we all enjoyed ourselves!**

THE END!

McCracken Thanksgivin'

Thanksgiving 2009
November 25, 2009

For Thanksgiving, we all went went up to Papa & Mama McCracken's house. It was a great time, and practically everyone was able to make it. There were some people that didn't get to make it, but a great time was had by all and we all gained lots o' weight. There are so many things to be Thankful for, but the most important is my family and wonderful husband. Uncle Ray cooked the turkey it was wonderful. Here's a picture o' dad cutting the turkey.

The McCracken's on Thanksgiving Day 2009

Caden doesn't buy whatever Uncle Jesse is saying.

Salih, our African student that stayed with us for 5 days, he spent Thanksgiving with us. He is actually my Aunt & Uncle's student, but they weren't going to be home for Thanksgiving and asked if we could house him for Thanksgiving. I wish I had a picture o' him and Caden b/c he "just loved Caden" and "Caden was his buddy!" It was so cute. He is the middle child o' 9 children, goes to school at Juniata College, majoring in American Literature, and his English was superb!

All o' us eating the good food!

Our First Thanksgiving Together!

Caden is such a happy baby...and he loves his bike!

Caden just woke up from his nap...I love this face!

Towards the end o' Thanksgiving...things got out o' hand!

Uncle Tom & Aunt Patty!

Uncle Buff & Aunt Juli

Me & Jesse!

We all had a wonderful time and it was great to spend it with family.

THE END!

Hannah & Fred's House

Clark Summit Trip
December 2008

I decided at the beginning o' December that I needed to go visit Hannah & Fred. So I packed up my stuff and off I went on the three hour drive to Clark Summit. On the way, I got on the wrong road, so I just kept taking a road that was going east here, and a road that was going north there. Eventually I figured out where I was and was able to get there. On the way, I was texting my dear Swiss Cake Roll, Shellana! She was on her way home from school. I was like oh, where are you, I'm on 80? She said that she was on 80 as well. I was like, what exit are you passing? She said, "I'm passing Exit 83!" Sure enough I was only like 10 exits behind her.

I called her and we talked, I drove like 150 mph to try to catch up with her. Eventually, she said she would pull off at a certain exit, and I told her I would be right behind her.

Thus we were able to see each other!! YEAH!! What I wonderful surprise. It was so good to see my wonderful swiss cake roll, friend, and sister---SHELLANA!!

I told Shellana, she had to wait out in the car!

The Welsh Family!

All o' us...(:

Hanging out with Bethany

I met up with Bethany and we went out to Starbucks for some coffee/hot chocolate and GREAT company! We were able to talk and catch up. Boy, I really missed her!

She was super glad to see me!
