But I did have the privilege to see Eddie, Richard,and Hannah graduate. Both their services turned out great!!! The preaching and the fellowship! I can't believe half of my friend's are graduated!!! Time sure does go fast! And I can't believe that I'm a Senior!!! It's Great!!! Life is GREAT!!! And all the credit goes to GOD! He's has been sooooo wonderful in my life!I thank God so much for the wonderful godly parents I have! He truly has been good to me and my family! So much has went on since last time I was on here! Well we moved into a house that is owned by friends of ours from our church. The house is located in Yelm,WA Lawrence lake. They have a very nice park that you can go to and a nice looking lake.We actually went swimming yesterday:-)We have also had Car Wash fundraisers going on for camp. And we also had a barbecue at my youth director's house Sunday afternoon. We went swimming in there lake also. It was a whole lot of fun!!! We had to get to the church early so us teens just talked up a storm! We were laughing and talking and laughing and talking and listening to Douglas who was telling us his update on who his crushes were:-) it was a lot of fun talking and getting to know our fellow teenager's better. On Thursday's we clean the church in the afternoon and in the morning's my mom is out on visitation with the ladies. So we are at the church all day! It's a lot of fun. We usually take the foster kid's down to the gym and play games with Arianna,Nolan,Justina,and Caleb Matheny. And last Thursday was very different from all the other Thursday's My friend Rachel White chose to come and we had a good time. We talked a lot and played Smash face. And I also watched my brother's wrestle Caleb and Caleb came out alive, but he had a few bite mark's and Scratches:-) But I warned him before they started wrestling not to WRESTLE WITH MY BROTHERS!!! Because they don't go by the RULES:-) I have to admit it was funny to watch! Well that's it for now!!! TTFN:-)Caleb Wrestling!LOL

We had a good group come from our church.The schedule we had for the banquet was at 6:00 p.m. we depart from the church, 7:30 p.m. we arrive at the hotel for the dinner, at 10:00 we heard some preaching at Bible baptist church of Everett,WA! The services went great! After the services we went to go skating and Bowling it was a whole lot of fun! And we didn't get home til' 4:30 A.M.!!!!!!!! Then the next day we had a Mother Daughter Banquet so I was really tired! But it was fun:-)Here are some pic's.

A Wonderful Drive Home:-)

The Youth Conference!!!

We went to a great youth conference last week! It was soooooo much fun! I got to hang out with friend's that I haven't seen in a long time! I got to hear great preaching from Pastor Jones! He was such a blessing and soooooo funny. On Friday we went to Sprinker in Spanaway,WA. There we played broom hokey,ice skating,Volley ball, and a whole lot more. Easter went very good. I got to help out with junior church Sunday morning and it was fun! Next Friday Me,Justina,and Nolan are going to a Formal all nighter! I am sooooo excited I have never been to an all nighter banquet and we are also going to go skating and do some bowling. And it doesn't end til' 3:00 A.M.!!! This Saturday we are having teen soul winning I'm excited about that also. And next week is our Mother daughter banquet. So I've got plenty of stuff to look forward to! Today We cleaned the house and us kid's got wet today on our porch and enjoyed some tanning:-) It was really warm today so we took advantage of that! And the kid's had fun because mom bought a pool too. Logan said the cutest thing today. He said ''I broke a bee and I saw his heart!'' Oh! And the grandparent's, Uncle Matt and cousin's came over today and had dinner. Well that's it for now! TTFN! Kenz

It is Raining.

Well it is raining right now and I'm just waiting for my Grandparents to get here with some of my sibling's. Today we cleaned the house and we finished watching the movie The Hiding Place. If you have not seen that movie or read the book you should because it shows what the Jew's and many other people went through at the concentration camp's. But any way's as I was saying......yesterday was fun! After church my youth leader's(Bro.Aaron and Mrs.Jayme) took Me,Justina,Nolan,and my friend Charlene to Pizza Hut! And we talked,ate,talked,ate,and talked some more! And let me tell ya those Hershey bread stick type of thing's are soooooooo good!!! I love em'. But anyhooooo we had a good time to say the least! It was my turn to watch the nursery for choir (which was before evening service) and I had a good time. There is this one girl her name is Audrey and she is sooooo cute and funny. I was talking to her and her mother about what we wanted to be and Audrey said she wanted to be an archaeologist and I wondered how she knew that word at her age and I asked her where she learned that word and she said '' I was born with the word!'' I thought that was to cute. Church went very good. We celebrated Pastor Stows Birthday yesterday and he preached last night. And we had cake after the service's. The children of the church right now are raising money for summer camp by selling Little Cesare's food. And I think that there is not one Adult in our church that can say no to any child that comes up to them and asks!I am blessed with such a loving and caring church! This Saturday is going to be our first Youth visitation! I am sooooo excited! We tried it before but nobody showed up and then we tried it again and Mr.and Mrs.Irlbacher had to go out of town. So we are hoping and praying it goes through this time. Well that it for now! TTFN,Kenz

BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!

Today was a beautiful day!!! Not one cloud in the sky! I may sound ridiculous but when you don't see the sun for a LONG TIME then you really get excited when you do! Anyhoooo....I hope everyone had a Wonderful and Romantic Valentines Day:-) For me Valentines day is a day to realize how God has blessed me with such a loving and caring family and to show my love back. I didn't really do anything for Valentines Day But the night before Me and My sis Justina got to go to a Valentine Banquet I wish i got pic's but I didn't:-( Anyhooooooooooooooo we had a great time talking and laughing with friend's, and us teenager's to got to model off the stuff the church was auctioning. It was held at my friend's church in DuPont,WA. This week has been pretty good. We have been going to a park near us and we have met a couple of new friend's. We've been quite busy with our church lately. We just had a Mission's Conference and on the last night of the conference our youth group served probably a 100 people dinner and it was a lot of fun!!! I got stay at church all day that Sunday and help my Grandma with the great helper's Mrs.Lanway,Justina,Nolan,and Megan. We had fun that's all i can say about that! I'm sure everyone knows by now that my mom is expecting another baby but ya never know. Today me and some of my sibling's are going to a Sport Activity tonight with the Sunquist's and their College and career class so I'm excited. Well i better get ready ttfn! Kenz

Where Has The Time Gone?!?!

Hey Everyone it's been quite a while since I've done a post! I don't even know where to start! Well Me and my family have a house now. And we will lord willing be living here in Graham,WA til' July. Then from their I have no idea! We are member's of my Grandparent's church their in Roy,WA. Everyone there at Calvary in Roy have been an encouragement and a blessing to me and my family. We moved into the house with practically nothing and now our house is filled with stuff that the people of the church gave to us. We have Couches,Table's,desk's, TVs,Matching Twin Bed's,and all sort's of thing's! I love it here in Washington! It has snowed now for about two week's now! And we have a huge hill behind us that is perfect for sledding! We also got to have the cousin's over to spend the night. And we had a blast! We played murder in the dark,Mophia,and we went sledding for about half the day! And we were also planning on taking the bus with them to the mall. And we walked quite a way's to the bus stop and we waited at the bus stop for about an hour and i was not wearing snow clothing so I was so cold,frozen, and numb! The bus ended up not coming and we had to head back! So most of us kid's took the key's and ran a head to the house. When we got there we turned on the fire and watched a movie! I am so thankful for a fire place!!! But other than that we had a good time:) Christmas was great. But the day went by so fast!!! I had my first white Christmas! And i got my boot's that i wanted really bad and Nolan got a hamster for Christmas and now Noah wants to buy a hamster! He's actually buying one tonight:) Hope everyone had a great Christmas! And hope you also have a Happy New Year. TTFN,Kenzie
