Apple Pickin' with New Roots Crew :)New Roots has crews. Each "crew" is about 10 kids with an assigned teacher that meets at the end of the day in a crew room (assigned classroom) Here's some pictures of some of our crew hanging out on Halloween Day and apple picking :) This is our crew leader, Sarah RG.

Here's Pat. He's in our crew but hes also a professional photographer. He was getting some close-up shots for his website.Here's Iysis.Yeah, it was Halloween...so I was feeling festive. I went to school dressed like this, haha.

YEAHHH!!!

Okay so no pictures yet...but I FINALLY got to hang with Adam! YEAHS!!! Happy dance! So first he kidnapped me from the library, we (me, him, and his mom) went to Garcia's for dinner and then we went to go see Angels and Demons. Which was a really good movie, btw. Just incase anyone was planning on seeing it. I was totally surprised cuz I didnt even realize he was in New York! I *kinda* tackled him when I saw him, but I dont care cuz I missed him WAYYY too much! So there...I dont really think he was too bothered, lol. We had alot of fun...and I really enjoyed being in his company.

Thennnn-I invited him to Elanee's birthday party. (happy birthday, elanee!!!) We all chilled around and roasted marshmellows...well kinda. Mostly we ate them "raw" or whatever you call an uncooked marshmellows. lol. Adam, Ravyn, and I hung out outside while everyone else went inside to be crazy. We sat around at like 11 at night listening to AFI and talking about anything. His dad finally picked him up at like 1am, I was so tired that by 2 I was asleep lol.

Acouple days later, Elanee spontaneously decided to go see "Dance Flick" and so I called Adam to see if he wanted to see it. I kinda figured he wouldnt want to cuz he would have thought it was lame...but while I was (IN MY PAJAMAS) at the neighbors he showed up at muh house. I was already over there so I was like "Hey Ravyn want to go see a movie?" That movie was so freaking funny and SO worth it cuz I am over-obsessed with dance movies, and so to see then ripped to shreds was somewhat entertaining. Anyways...we had a great time!

After that we all went back to my house and started messing around in the yard. Adam got my purse stuck in a tree...moron.
When we finallly got it out I realized that a bottle of black nail polish had broken inside of it and everything I own was covered in it. Oh joy...
I walked him down the street where he was meeting his family and some friends.

Basically...I have the best friend ever...step off.
:P

A VISIT WITH MY FAMILY!

While we were in Rhode Island, we made a point to visit my sister, Angelica and see her and her pregnant belly! Of course Jon and Javari were there and we had a great time with all of them and even had some extra visitors this time! We got to meet Angelica's mom, Evelyn and Angelica's older brothers.

My momma soaked up all the "Grandma" time she could possibly get! I think he looks JUST like her!!! Cant you see it?!?! Hahaha!

Javari has gotten HUGE since we last saw him! He is crawling like a maniac and making cute "muh muh muh" sounds at everybody! He can pull up and tried to eat my potato salad!!! He just loves company and everyone loves him!

Just look how much he has grown!!! Still as handsome as ever! Can't wait to have another baby nephew to play with!!! I think he has Angelica's eyes but Jon's mouth.Everyone got a kick outta my mom and Javari chillin together and blowing raspberries in each others faces!!! It was very very very funny!!!

And here is me with my amazing nephew! I just didn't want to leave him or my sister even after HOURS of visiting!

South Carolina Beach!!!

So I know I am kinda backtracking a bit but oh well this is muh blog so step off!

When we went to SC, we went to a beach. I couldn't swim that day but I did waddle out into the ocean a bit just to my knees and the rest of the time I spent with my mother. We walked along the side of the ocean while everyone else swam. We seriously found some freaky critters including live starfish and live sea urchin! I haven't ever seen that kinda stuff up close!!! It was sooo cool! I found quite a few funky shells!

Elanee Goes To Prom!!!

WOO! Elanee went to Jr. Prom with Mollie! This was really fun and I am so glad I got to be a part of it. I got to be there for the dress and under gear shopping, make-up, shoes, etc, and all the prep of waxing, shaving, glossing, shining, plucking, glittering, gelling, and primping that goes into making 2 girls look like utter princesses!

Elanee looked SO pretty and feminine. Here she is posed with that hot makeup artist...uh whats her name...oh yeah, Vayda :) I was so tired after all that, but did the party stop for me? Oh no-they went off and so did the parents and then I was home cleaning all the whirl-wind mess of leftover primping AND watching 3 kids under 11. Hmmm...I guess I can send my sympathies to mothers now!

Washington, DC Zoo!

On our way to South Carolina we decided that since we had to stop to get a hotel ANYWAY we should find something fun to do in the morning. We decided that we were already in Washington, DC so whats one of the best things to do there??? THE ZOO!!!!

We had a rockin' time! Maya was fascinated by the animals, Elanee LOVED the Kamoto Dragon which is her favorite animal, and mom loved that they had great habitats and were building a HUGE run for the elephants! I love all animals but alas, didn't get to see my favorite animal because they don't have cows there!!! The pandas are just amazing of course!

KARAOKE!

Yes, Heather and my mom, Carrie did DRESS-UP for karaoke! They are freaks! Oh oh oh and they made a music video! And that will be posted soon so I will put up the link when I have it for YouTube! They had allot of fun and even had there own backup dancers, granted they were 7 and 9yrs old...anyways. It was fun!!! We got the disco-ball going and everything.

They looked pretty hot I have to admit and they really rocked the 80's tunes, because EVERYONE sucks at karaoke!!!

Fun Times in Rhode Island!Okay-so I have been to Rhode Island a couple of times now and I always seem to have a great time! This time I stayed there without muh lovely family and even got to set up a facebook account (ADD MEEE!) and get my nails done honestly by a real professional. (sad-15 years...)

Mady and I took a walk when it was nice weather out and had a fun time messin with her camera, making dumb poses. We walked and giggled and jokingly laid in the road. I told her I was gonna walk to Hot Topic cuz hers was closer than mine. ha ha.

Dan showing me some of his work. Its really amazing HOW MUCH work goes into one logo!

I may be little too goofy for the office!!! Here I am mocking him.

I got to go to work with Heather. She works at Artinium where they do graphic design, and Dan the graphic artist there showed me how he does the work. We ended up chatting about rock music in the end and he said I made him realize how old he really is. We had a really fun time! Nice Guy! Fun Time! Thanks Heather!

It was an AWESOME time and Heather is now donned my "Vacation Mommy" because I swear...I know I came outta my mom...but I am SOOO much like Heather!

Oh and I have pictures of me getting my nails done but my computer is being slow cuz its night so I will add them later :)

AHHHHHHH!!!! Mutated people!Don't you just ADORE Adobe Photoshop on fun sleepovers!!! Ravyn did one of me, I did one of her, and she messed up Cierras face. Soooo much fun!!!We look soooo pretty! lol.

HEY FEY!!!So here is my other baby. I adopted her the same time I adopted Rafiella. Fey is just a sweetie pie. Shes never bitten anyone, she cuddles, wants to run around in her ball, gets along with Harvey, and is JUST a PLEASUREEEE to have around.
The little girls are really liking having Fey around because they are both old enough that they can just get her out and play with her. They are very gentle with her and love giving her rides in hoodie pockets. Our house got really cold today and she got kinda sick so I stuck her in my warm MADE hoodie pocket while I was watching Tommy Boy and she warmed right up in her sleep!
HARVEY BUDDY!!!
aka Harvey Wild Man Jackson
Hmmm....I dont know if Harvey really likes her. Harvey was adopted the day after we adopted Fey and Rafiella Gabriella Sarsparilla. My mom FELL IN LOOOVE and could NOT stop thinking about him and having a house rabbit. We decided it was fate. He is great, a little sciddish. He only likes the carpet, because its easier for him to walk on but in these pix he is on the linolium in the kitchen.Everyone looves having Harvey and Fey around. They are great! Harvey is kinda a lump of fur that hops around once and a while. If you pick him up, when you put him down he will yell at you. (A giant THUMP with his foot.) When we got him he was already fixed so we dont have to worry about him spraying or anything. He is really warmed up to the family now.

This year I went to Camp Tabarsi at Onas again and I had such a fun time!!! This was during the summer, but hey...not all of these can be in order!!! Camp Onas is basically a camp for teens aged 11-15, then you can be a conciler at 16 and up. Its a camp with mostly Bahai kids and its really a place to hang out with people who have at least one thing in common...love of the Bahai Faith. We have morning devotions and prayers. We hang out and just love being around each other in a non-judgemental situation and love God and being alive! Its always a really great time and I suggest to anyone even considering going to go! You will not regret it!!!
