Pasta Dinner Fundraiser!

Tonight, my soccer team and I are hosting a pasta dinner as a fundraiser. It's $5 in advance (through me or one of my team members) and $6 at the door. It's at the Leavitt Area High School Cafeteria from 5:30-7pm. If you live close enough, you should come! It's going to be delicious! Mr. Bifulco, (one of the teachers at Leavitt) is Italian and was ever so kind to help us ALOT with making the dinner. It's more like we're helping him.

My niece still isn't born yet. Any day now! I'm SOO excited! You don't even know. The thing is, we're really busy this weekend so I hope she's born when we aren't busy. Haha!

Exciting and not so Exciting Soccer Games

Yesterday Sarah, Rebecca and I watched the Winthrop boys varsity soccer game. Sarah's cousin is on the team so that's why went to go watch it. They lost 6-0... We missed the first half but the other team scored most of their goals in the first half so it wasn't so bad after we got there. Heh!

Last night we also watched the Leavitt Girl's Varsity Senior Night under the lights. That was a very exciting and intense game!!! Leavitt was losing for most of or all of the first half (0-1) and then Desiree scored to tie the game! With about 5 minutes left of the game Tori scored the winning goal! It was SUCH an awesome game!

Senior Night

Today Sarah and I are going to her cousin's soccer game in Winthrop. Hopefully, Rebecca will be meeting us there. After that soccer game, Sarah and I are going to watch the Girls Leavitt Varsity's Senior night game!

Last Sunday was the due date for Tim and Angie's daughter to be born. She's not born yet but any day now she will! :D I. AM. SO. EXCITED! She'll be my first niece. <3

I'm considering doing Nordic Skiing this winter. Depends how much commitment the coach is asking for and how much commitment SMASH is asking for.

Strong Enough!

On Friday night Sarah, Mrs. Pare and I went to the Matthew West concert in Lewiston at the Vineyard Christian School. It. Was. Amazing!!! :D I had SO much fun! It was so cool! I didn't get to meet Matthew West but I was about four rows away from him at one point. One of my favorite songs that he played that night was Strong Enough.

I didn't get to buy any Matthew West CD's or anything because I didn't have enough money but I bought a guitar pick necklace that Jonny Diaz's (the guy who opened for Matthew West) wife hand made.  The guiter pick has "Stand For You" written on it.
I liked Jonny Diaz's song Beauty of the Cross.

On Saturday I had my last soccer game. The game was at Nokomis. We lost 1-0 but we played really well!

Saturday afternoon Millie and Grace came over for the night. :) We baked an apple pie, and an apple crisp. We also watched X-men: First Class. That was a very good movie!

On Sunday, Millie, Grace, my family and I went and picked up Calvin then we went to Church. The sermon was about "Paying Much Closer Attention" to God and not to drift away.

After church we went home for a bit. We played a little basketball, then we listened to a sermon from Saturday's Presbytery (which most of us missed because of soccer) thing. We wrote down points and illustrations from the sermon and at the end we had to summarize the sermon. When we were done that we got ready to go to the Donahue's for a bonfire.

We were the first to arrive at the Donahue house. We played pass with the soccer ball for awhile until we all went inside for a drink of water. We then played frisbee until the Richards' showed up. After they showed up, some people played ping pong, some played with the frisbee again. Eventually the Estes, Amanda, and Jenna showed up too. Kenan and I played Darts for a little while. We didn't really play an actual game we just tried hitting the bullseye and threw the darts from different angles and such.
Every one roasted their hotdogs over the fire. People roasted marshmallows afterwards too! We all talked around the campfire for quite awhile. Some of us went inside to hang out in the living room. Nick, Joel and sometimes Tucker entertained us with some talented piano playing and some singing. :D Most of us played Spoons for a bit until people had to leave.
Thanks Corrie and the rest of the Donahue family for planning such a fun night!

Matthew West Concert!

Today's Soccer game and practice was cancelled due to the rain. It's our last game too! It'll be rescheduled for tomorrow or Monday.

Last night Sarah texted me asking if I wanted to go to the Matthew West Concert tonight if our game was cancelled. :D I just hope the concert isn't sold out! Matthew West is one of my favorite artists! He has good lyrics and a good beat! I can't believe he's coming to Lewiston...TONIGHT! That's crazy awesome! So, if the concert isn't sold out by now, I'm there (with Sarah and her Mom, of course)!  My favorite songs by Matthew West are Something to Say, Life Inside You, and Stop the World. With his Fall Tour, I'm sure I'll come home with some new favorites. :)

Soccer Season is Coming to an End

Today is my last soccer practice of the season. It wasn't a very good season if you count how many games we lost but it was certainly a fun season. Soccer is a fantastic sport!

Last night we had a game at Camden Hills. We lost 5-0. The game ended early because it was so dark out. It was also REALLY cold! I could see my breath!

Tomorrow, I have my last game which is as Nokomis.

Fantastic Monday!

Monday morning my family and I cleaned the house. Later that morning Rebecca and Samantha dropped Calvin off for a visit. We ate lunch and then while Dad took a quick nap Calvin, Billy, Shannon and I played Hearts. We only got to play two rounds but, I had the lowest score so I won. :)

We went apple picking at Wallingfords. We only filled on big bag because we didn't have much time. While we waited for Dad to pick us up we took pictures of eachother in these wooden things where you stick your face through a whole in the wood and it makes you look like a cow, or a pig, or an apple.

An apple and I picked and polished.

Calvin, Billy, Abbey and Shannon at the apple orchard.

Those wooden things I was talking about.

The three kids in the tree aren't moved out of the house but Abbey is...

Naughty twins...

"Why so serious?" in Chinese.

"Colleen Clarke" in Chinese.

When we got home from Wallingfords, Shannon, Calvin and I baked an apple cake. Shannon, Calvin and I played Pig and Around the World with the basketball until the Estes came. Nick, Joel, Kenan and Linnea joined in on our game. Jenna, Corrie and Jolie showed up eventually. Nick and Calvin owned at Around the World! Shannon eventually quit and went and made Apple Crisp with Corrie, Jenna, Jolie and Linnea. I was about the same level as Joel and Kenan at Around the World. We eventually quit because the game was lasting forever. After a little while, we all got ready to drive to the local Soccer field to play Ultimate Frisbee.

We only played Ultimate for a little while because the Estes couldn't stay too long. Millie, Grace and Kevin showed up soon after we got to the field. The team I was on lost 3-5. Abbey, the Estes, Jenna, and Dad drove back home while everyone else walked back through the woods.

When we got home we started a fire in the fire pit. We cooked hotdogs, marshmallows, and apples over the fire. We made s'mores and ate freshly baked apple crisp and apple cake and we ate lots of Oreos! It was fantastic! While we were sitting around the campfire our friend Jenny from Deerwander stopped by with her mom and sister. That was a delightful surprise! After probably an hour or so of talking Jenny and her family left, and Dad took the Kidd's and Calvin back home. Jolie, Corrie, and Jenna hung around for a bit longer. We drew random things on each others arms. :)

Corrie drew this on my forearm.

And Corrie drew this on my tricep area. It wore off a little. :/
