OK, OK, OK!!! Sorry!

Ok. I know I haven't written in a LONG time but, I was very, very busy in TX! I shopped and played games almost the whole darn time! I did a lot while I was down there! I shopped, shopped and shopped! VERY time consuming! hehehe! Ok. I also had a PARTY and it was REALLY fun. I got a Nintendo DS while I was down there (Thanks to Mrs. Judy!)! I got the Nintendogs game and it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute!!!! Mrs. Judy said that she might have to go get her one too! I'm remodeling my house at the moment and that is rather time consuming!

Mom and Dad came for Thanksgiving and so I am in a family of 5 again. *sigh* Not just a only princess anymore!

In Texas!

Sorry I haven't been able to write but, I was on a 10 hour trip to Texas. It was a long and dull trip but, I was able to play "Boggle" with Grandma on the way down here. I won, of course!

As soon as we came home (that's Grandma's house) we went to bed. It wasn't that late so, Grandma said that I could read for a little while. I ALWAYS lose track of time so, I was up until 10:00pm last night.

I got up at 6:08am this morning and went to exercise for 40 minutes with Grandma. Boy, they REALLY know how to exercise there! They did a 10 minute power walk DVD thing twice and it was kinda fun. Before that they did some 20 minute thing that was just OK.
Grandpa left at 6:00am and went on a 40 minute walk around the neighborhood.

I called Mom last night and talked to everyone. Rayna said she wanted me to come home already. Mom said that Rayna had been crying. ); Doug was so excited about watching "Over the Hedge" that all he talked about was the movie.
Grandma B. (the stinker) called b4 I called Mom and said, "You left your night cap at home and your mother wants you to come home and get it right away!" Wodda lousy thing to say. I don't even have a night cap! HA!

I've done MOST of my math except for 1 measly problem.

Grandma has been in here for the past two hours doing e-mail stuff and has been having problems with her computer printer.
She is now outside talking on her cellphone. It's been a nice day out and so I think that today would be a PERFECT day for playing outside!

~Darcy

Three more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yahooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! I'ts just 3 more days 'till Grandma comes!!!! I can't wait 'till they come. I've decided that I'm gonna do my Christmas shopping down there so no one sees what I'm getting!!!!!!!

Rayna is working on cleaning up her room. That usually means that she takes a nap to evade cleaning. Doug just came home (he had a half day) and is begging to watch a DVD. Mom has a Parent teacher conference thing (I think) and we have to leave in a little while.

I did my math. woohoo. happy. exuberant.

I gotta go now.

Darcy

Nothin' much goin' on here!

Today we're taking Doug to the dentists to have his teeth checked over. He'd been complaining about it for a while. Yesterday Mom asked, "Does your tooth still hurt?" He shook his head and showed her his tooth and it was completely healed up now!

I went over to Grandma and Grandpa's house for a visit and just now got to my blogging spot.
There isn't much to say today.

I'm already half packed to go to TX! I can't wait to go!!!! Soon I'll be in Texas with Grandma and Grandpa M!

Later, Gator!

Darcy

TEXAS, HERE I COME!!!!

I'M GOING TO TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We just had a phone call from Grandma M. and I am going to her house the 11th and will stay for 10 days!!!!!!!!!!! I've gone down for the last 3 (I think) years in the summer. I have always gotten to swim but, it's too cold to swim this time. She told me to think up things to do and I really want to go shopping and do other fun stuff too!!!! When they bring me back home they said that they'll stay for Thanksgiving!!!!! I hope that I'll get to go back in the SUMMER next year so that I can swim! I don't mind it in the fall, but summer is more fun. I have been waiting for her to call for a long time and I finally know the final date!!!!!!!!!!! I will be doing another travelthingee so you can hear about my trip!

Okay, NOW I'll tell you about the rest of my day now.

This morning I got up when Daddy got up (at 6:00am) so I could get my schoolwork done so we could go to Target and so we could go wirelessing too. I got it all done by 10:00 this morning and then Rayna and I watched "Zapped". Gloria watched the movie with us and she fell asleep during the movie!
As we got ready to leave Rayna was having her hair done and I was teasing her about something or other and Mom said "Stop that Darcy!"
Rayna said, "Yeah! LISTEN to your mother Darcy!" I teased her when she was poking me and I said, "LISTEN to your mother Rayna!!!!" She glared at me and exhaled loudly. If looks could kill I'd be dead right now!

We just got back from New China House and found out that Rayna doesn't like Crab rangoons. She said, "I don't like Jayhoorns Mommy!" I was laughing behind my menu as she said that!

Home again Home again jiggety jig...

Yesterday we came home. We had just come from an Appleton church and had been playing music there. We had been going there for 3 years.

After we left SDC we went back to the motel and I was tired.That day at SDC I went on Wildfire again with Greg and Brian. Trent wouldn't go on it and Brian even offered him 5 dollars to go on it. Trent says he has a "delicate" stomach. HA! I say he's chicken. I asked Brian if I could have 5 dollars to go on it but, he said that I had already been and wouldn't give me any money. ); When we went on Wildfire I was braver that time! I had my eyes open even when we went upside down!! It was cool when you went upside down!!! As we got off the ride Greg's hair was sticking straight up!!! He looked funny! Brian went barefoot on the ride because his shoes come off easily, I guess. I was freakin' out as we went straight down. When you go straight down is the WORST part of the ride.

On the way home we got Doug a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Battleizer Robot. He had been wanting that since we saw it at the beginning of our vacation! Rayna bought a stuffed eagle. I bought a book called Icefire. I have read the first one in the trilogy (I think it's a trilogy) and a third one is coming out soon!

Gotta go!

Today

Today I went to SDC again and we saw Grandma and Grandpa C again and we ate together. We ate at the mill restraunt. We had fried chicken and rolls with mashed potatoes and corn. Then we went to listen to Dad's band. We went to the "Great American Shootout" (I think that's what it's called) We went 3 times and I only wanted to go 2 times. Trent and Alayna are here at the hotel with us because everyone was cold and Dad took us all to our hotel. Trent has been using my laptop, (yes, I shared it!) and we have been watching TV too. Rayna and Trent are wrestling and Rayna is winning right now. Mom has been off in La-La land blogging. Trent is bugging and pestering me as usual.

I gotta scram

Me

This is a picture of me! Mom took this picture when we went to Canada to ride horses. I don't have very many (if any) pictures of me on my blog!

I hope that we'll go back to Canada again soon and ride horses! The horse that I rode was named "Hawk" and he had the MEANEST glare! He was very unlikeable to the other people but, I liked him very much! While we were riding he would turn around and just GLARE at Mom's horse Snickers! He also kicked Grandma Murray 3 times!

~Darcy

Mini Golfing

Today we went mini golfing and, well, golfed!!! Dad won first place, Mom won second place and I won third place. We didn't count Doug and Rayna's scores though. But, proabably they got all six's on all the holes.

After that we went to the observation tower and saw our motel from there! We also saw the Shepherd of the Hills observation tower too!!
Then we went to the Shepherd of the Hills and got a Christmas present for... lets just say, someone!

Tomorrow we're going to SCD and we will go on more rides and hear Dad's band play.

'bye!!

~Darcy

Multitasking!

Last night Mom was multitasking and I mean MULTITASKING!! She was in such a hurry to do her computer stuff she grabbed her toothbrush and headed over to the computer.
While she was doing this and laughing while dad had the camera her exact words were, "Ish gottsha shpits!" After she said that she headed over to the sink and "shpitted" out her "shpit".

I just thought I should share this "wonderful" pic with U!!

The Acrobats of China

Today we went to the Acrobats of China show and there were sevral new acts that they had put in. But, they took out my favorite act though. My favorite act was when some guys jump through hoops and stuff. My second favorite act is when this lady slipped through these really thin barrels and doesn't get stuck. I can't get in the dog house without getting stuck!

After that we went to a bookstore (called Foozels) and then we went to DQ (requested by Mom) and had supper and ice cream. Then we went to Wal-mart and a music store. Then we came back and we're watching TV and Dad and Doug are eating a second supper.

~Darcy

Dancing Rayna

When we went to the Titanic museum they had these two mirrors facing each other to try to make it look like a REALLY long hallway. We had gone into the room next to the "hallway" and Rayna had stayed in the "hallway" and she was dancing in front of the mirror and humming the tune that was playing overhead! She was swaying from side to side and holding up the sides of her pants like it was a skirt! And talking like there were people around her and she said, " OH yes I'm doing FINE!" she had said this very quietly but, loud enough we could hear her! She was also kinda doin' a curtsy thingee and then came back in the room we were in. Dad, Mom, and I were almost BURSTING out laughing at what we saw.

I gotta scram. See ya! Well, actually, I proabably won't see ya but, anyhow you know what I mean.

~Darcy

What happened today

Today we went to the Titanic museum and we got to see a replica of the Titanic. It was pretty cool!!! After that we went to eat at a Chinese place that has a Mongolian grill! Mongolian grills are the BEST!!! We almost went to the Acrobats of China show that we go to almost every year. We went to the IMAX theatre and watched One night with the King that was about Esther. It wasn't EXACTLY like the story but, it was pretty cool anyhow. Then we came back to "Twelve Oaks Inn" and we're watching Naturally Sadie. We also went to SDC and they've put in a whole new area full of rides and games!!! We did all the rides! We're going back to SDC Wednesday and Dad's band (The Bluegrass Missourians) is going to play! Rayna is feeling sick and is losing her voice (YES!!!!!). Dad just got back from getting medicine and food. I gotta go. );

Shepherd of the Hills

Yesterday we went to the "Shepherd of the hills play" and we stayed for half of it and what we saw was really cool! There were horses, sheep and cows! There was this one guy that did a handstand on a cow! But, we were FREEZING!!!!! At least I was. Doug was sitting in Dad's lap and Dad was keeping him warm and Rayna was sitting in Mom's lap and keeping Rayna warm while poor little me was sitting all alone in a cold, hard, chair and I was Cold! );

After that we left and went to "Cake and Cremes Desert Parlor" and we had dessert before supper.
Okay, Actually I had french fries. Then we came back to "Twelve Oaks Inn The quiet place" I don't do "Quiet places" very well. <):

I gotta go and get ready se we can go and eat breakfast at "Dockers" (I hope!!!) "Dockers" has a breakfast buffet and it's SOOOOO good!!!! Yipieeeeee Dad said that were going to "Dockers" to eat!!!

Gotta go

Silver Dollar City

WAHOOOOOO!!!!!! We're going to Silver Dollar City!!!!!! I'm so very happy!! When we go to SDC I always get to go on Thunderation. You can ride backwards and scream all you want!!! I LOVE to scream!!
I saw Rhonda Vincent last year and, she has a new Christmas CD coming out in December! I have almost all of them but, not ALL of them.

School is LOUSY. ): I could KICK the guy who invented school. ):

I'm in the middle of "The Shepherd of the Hills" and it's pretty good so far. Dad said if I get through the book we can go tho the play!!! I've gone before but, I don't remember it very much. All I remember is that I was REALLY mad at Trent and Dad gave me this little stuffed animal that Mom had sent and that made me feel better. Mom said that I have at least 800 stuffed animals! Grandpa C. said I have the most stuffed animals he has ever seen!!! But, Grandpa has only what, 5 stuffed animals.

I finished "The Shepherd of the Hills" and it was good! I hope we can go to the play when we go to Branson.

We're going to Silver Dollar City tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE going to SDC!!! I get to go on roller coasters and in the hot air balloon ride and I might be tall enough to go on Wildfire. I might be too chicken though! I've gone on Thunderation before and it is AWESOME!! Maybe I can covince Grandma and Grandpa C. to go on it this year. The people who run SDC didn't invite us last year an' I got mad at 'em. Dad is making me play my mandolin up on stage though. ): I don't think I'm ready yet but he said that I am. <):
Mom is burning CDs of our Canada trip photos. We had 11,000 photos to go through. Mom took about what, um, um, 8,000 of the 11,000. Grandma M. took 1,000 (at the most) and I took about 2,000 (maybe).

I gotta go pack for SDC.
Write more later!!!!

Aunt Reena's House

The other day we went to Aunt Reena's house. We gave Frankie and Annika their presents and we were going to play their "Mr. Mouth" but, we didn't have batteries. We got them each a little faerie and a purse with a necklace and a Mr. Mouth game to share. We stayed in a motel yesterday night and I stayed up until 12:02 watching TV and on the wireless internet they had. Breakfast was LOUSY at the comfort inn we stayed at. They had a waffle iron thingee but, something was wrong with the batter or something. They didn't taste too good. ): Then we came home and watched a "Leave it to Beaver" and then we went to bed.


This morning we got up and I had fried chicken, a biscuit and mashed potatoes and gravy for breakfast. I hafta write a poem about a historical event. ): Rayna tried on my old dress and it fit her perfectly! Rayna is in the back singing "Veggie Tales" and she is actually getting part of it! We are going to get lunch now an' I gotta go ):

bye'

Trip

We are on a trip to Normal, Illinois to see Aunt Reena and Annika and Frankie and maybe Uncle Joerg too. Annika has had liver problems all her life. She has had 2 liver transplants and she may be having her third liver transplant after November 14. We are just staying for a day because Aunt Reena really wanted us to come and visit her. While Annika has her liver transplant we might be taking care of Frankie. They have a dog named Cleo and a cat. It takes 6 1/2 hours to get there. We brought our DVD player and our gameboys to play with. Doug and Rayna are watching "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers" again. We are going to get a motel and finish up tomorrow. We told Aunt Reena that we would be there by 12:00 pm. It is Annika's birthday today and it was Frankie's birthday last week. Mom is in the store right now getting a couple of presents for them along with some other stuff too. We are getting ready to go and publish this post. I'll write more later!
