..::A birthday surprise: For Alexander Martin::..

So my "little brother" Nathan and I had the joy of organizing a surprise birthday party for my other "little brother" Xander! He is 16 now. Wow, time flies! It was Nate, the Lynns and my fam, but my dad couldn't come. We went to De Leon Springs for pancakes and an awesome time! :D He was VERY surprised! YEA! Enjoy!

Da birthday boy. :)

Anna and Nate, being themselves. :)

Gabe, Mrs. Lynn, Mom, Emmy and Michelle.

Me and my bros.

After swimming a while Nate had a birthday present for Z...

He saw it coming so Gabe had to hold him down. :)

Lovely.

He just had to. :)

Anna, Em and Gabe.

This is a TERRIBLE picture, but it shows how we interact. :D We have a great time every time we see each other, I wish we lived closer!

The whole gang, except the moms.

And a funny. :D

Nate, Z and I went with the moms, and met Em, Gabe, Anna and Mich at the Dollar Tree. The others left while the three of us stayed out in the cars and waited for the moms to finish shopping...THEY TOOK FOREVER! HOURS! No joke!

Before the others left.

Doing the "Creep". (After everyone else left.)

Z bought us cars for thanks. :)

 (L-R) Mine, Z's and Nate's.

Waiting in the Office Depot.

Still waiting. :)

This, and the next pix taken by Z. :)

And if you notice...there is a mom in the front seat! We were just about to leave! :)
We went back to the Lynn's watched the 2nd Sherlock Homes and ate pizza! We were there till almost 11pm...that made 13 1/2 hours together! It was a blast! Love you guys!
Thanks for stopping!

..::The Battle-Lakeland, Fl: March 31st 2012::..

So today we (my sisters and I) had the wonderful opportunity to go to a Battle! With one of our old churches and with some of our greatest friends. So here are a couple pictures that were taken, so, here you go! :)

L-R: Rebekah, Kathleen, Hannah and I.

L-R: Ben, Bekah, Ryan, Kathleen, Patty, Hannah and ME! :D

L-R: Sharon, Nathan, Ben, Bekah, Ryan, Kathleen, Patrick, Hannah and Myself.

There is a story to this...so Ben (tall guy with battle shirt on) gets hit in the ribs by Ryan (guy in green next to Ben) and you can see Ben slowly falling from the frame then writhing in pain on the ground...so funny in person! :) (Sorry it's so small.)

Thanks for stopping!

..::A New Membor of My Family: Pebble::..

So our family went out for dinner (on the 7thof Feb.) then for a drive... but I didn't know where we were going... the ride was SO long! like 2 hours! My mom was like, "we are lost" so we stopped for "directions." I didn't realize what we were doing before Anna (my sister) came walking up with a puppy... the same puppy we had wanted when our family band played a a church in Eustace. (the puppy was there for sale) And Anna was SO kind to give her (the puppy) to me as a gift!!!! I am so blessed! I just wanted to show you how cute she is... a Shorky... Shih tzu/Yorke mix. SO CUTE!!!!

With her three other siblings. (Pebble in top left hand corner.)
The top 4 pictures are from when we first saw her in Eustace. :)

The night we brought her home.

She is REALLY small. :)

While I am doing school, I put her on my desk in my old shoe box... and she STAYED!!! :)

Not for sale! :)

DDAaawwww!

Love her hair. :)

After crying 'cause I wasn't there. :)

On the kitchen floor.

She looks like a Wolf! :)

I went to the thrift store and bought her this dog chair... to say the least, she LOVES it! :)

Thanks for stopping!
