A Little Something

Just wanted to let you all know that today I got thrown in the tub...with ALL my clothes on...I still have more studying to do so i'll tell you the rest later...

First Day Back

Well so the blogging at school thing has once again begun. Ha ha...right now I am at the Willow Chase center (extension of campus) sitting in this new building not exactly sure where my Anatomy and Physiology II class is and hoping that my teacher isn't a complete id 10 t. I will let you all know how that goes. I also skipped work this morning with a CIP (Call in Personal) to come to school. So Mom and Dad, if I get fired, you can't get mad at me because school is my priority and it was for a good cause. :D My first two classes this morning were pretty good. My sociology teacher seems pretty cool and insightful and is very interesting to listen to so I'm pretty stoked for that class. My new english teacher seems to be pretty challenging, which is something I need 'cause my teacher from last semester made me lose brain cells just by attending his class.

There is also this kid that keeps sitting closer and closer to me that has a remones patch on his shorts and it's starting to make me feel uncomfortable.

Anywho...this past weekend we had some visitors! The Cook Family came and visited from San Antonio because there was a huge fire and they needed to evacuate the people in the area. A little scary if you ask me. Well their kids are really cute. Here are some pictures of the kids playing and what not. So cute!

All of the kids Top: Mia, Brinley, Aidyn, Leilani Bottom: Isaac holding baby Hayden, Jaron.

Cute Isaac

The kids playing Old maid

Jaron and Aidyn showing their bellies. Aidyn's a big girl if y'all couldn't tell. They are the same age by the way.

Aidyn being so sweet with baby Hayden.

Returning to the Crazy Life...

School starts up again tomorrow. So I guess I might blog lots and I might not blog lots depending on how my work load at school is as well as with work and primary. Just giving you all a heads up. I also wanted to let you all know that it is currently 30 degrees (Fahrenheit) and many of the schools are closing due to inclement weather. Ha ha...Texas is so funny.

The Weird

The Rules: Each player of this game starts with the six (6) weird things about you. People who get tagged need to write a blog post of their own six (6) weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose six (6) people to be tagged and list their names.

1. I've always wanted to steal a cow-crossing sign (or any abnormal sign for that matter) but know that after I took it I would feel guilty and go put it back.

2. I can "weave" my toes like a champ.

3. Word games are my favorite! (scrabble, boggle, text twist, etc.) and it flusters me when I have to play with incompetent people who don't challenge me.

4. Cutting things with a dull knife when I am cooking drives me crazy.

5. I thoroughly enjoy plastic cups. They're pretty and hard to break. Who wouldn't love them?

6. I like buying cute shoes but I hate wearing them. I'm a flip flop kind of gal.

Umm...seeing that I don't really know that many people that have blogs...I guess Amanda Pane'e, Cousin Justin, Leo Ing, and three other people who have blogs who I will meet one day. Ha ha...blog the weirdness my friends!

Exceptional Experiences of 2006

Reminiscing about the past year, i figured that I should highlight the many fond memories that I have had within 2006. Some of them are quite random, so please bare with me. It probably won't be all nice and neat and in chronological order but I'll do my best. Better yet...I think I'll do like a top ten or something...so here goes...

Number Ten...

In March I bought myself a guitar for my birthday. Ha ha...yep...I love it! and I went to San Diego with my good friend Jane for our birthdays. Number Nine...

Dressing Up as Pirates with my roomies from the Glenwood! Yes we went to Pirates of the Caribbean 2 (or maybe it's 3, I really don't remember). It was the midnight showing or a late night showing or something and my favorite roommate Christina (on the very right) and I fell asleep during the movie. Ha ha...do you see why I cannot recollect which Pirates it was that we went and saw...hmm...we LOVE naps!

Number Eight...

Sometime during the summer I beat Gunns (better known as Evan Gunnell, one of my best friends) who is on the Pinja Turtles bowling league team at bowling. Ha ha...neither of us bowled very well, but I beat him nonetheless. Yeah! Yeah!

Number Seven...

The hot bag-pipers at the Buddy Walk. Not only do I enjoy watching their faces turn bright red and them sweating like maniacs as they march around, but they had these cute socks and shoes that I wanted. Very Scotland meets private school girl. Ha ha...oh and by hot bag-pipers I mean warm, not good looking. Sorry to disappoint.

Number Six...

Step Up! The enjoyment of the Step Up movie and the dance moves and parties that followed. I think Nani-buns and I saw it two or three times before I moved to Texas. I think we even had a dance party in the canyon. Ha ha! Those are the best! Here is a picture of the Buns and I showin off our "what?" move. You're jealous...I know. Ha ha!

Number Five...

Just hangin with the cousins! This past year with Dustin going on his mission, Kai moving to Hawaii to play soccer, and myself pickin up and moving to Texas, the cousins spent a lot of time playing and having fhe's and what not. I believe this particular night we were up in the Canyon and we saw an SUV drive off the road into a ditch, head on. I think the driver was a high-school aged child, most likely drunk, and driving his friend's car. The fam bam was playing kickball and most of us were laughing when the incident occurred. Family gatherings are NEVER dull! No sir they surely are not. and yes we are gathered around an urinal. mmhmm....

Number Four...

I moved to Texas and I started college. In doing so, I've made some fantastic friends. One in particular who I thoroughly enjoy is named Mercedes Pollanco. As you can see in the picture below she fits in just great! (Ha ha...and when did reindeer become white and sparkly? If any of you can answer this question, that would be fantastic!)

Number Three...

Brother Isa came home from the mish! Woo-hoo! I will admit he was a little awkward when he got home, but he's definitely readjusted and back to "normal" or something. Ha ha...I'm just glad that my big brudda is home and doing well. :D

Number Two and Three Quarters...

Concerts! I definitely went to tons and tons of concerts this past year. Anberlin, The Classic Crime, Allister, Waking Ashland, Allred, The Vans Warped Tour, Relient K, Fall Out Boy, Motion City Soundtrack, Houston Calls, A Day at the Fair, Amber Pacific, The Rocket Summer, and the most recent was in Las Vegas where I saw Relient K for the second time this year with Hawthorne Heights, Emery, and some other band that kinda stunk.

Number Two...and a half...

The Selena Party. For all of those who attended...thank you for the memories. Ha ha!

Number Two...

Being home for the Holidays!

Number One...

Miracle baby Sophia being born. I just love her.

Well most of these aren't put in very good order of ranking, but you get the drift. I had a fantastic year and I'm just glad I'm so blessed with wonderful family and friends that take such good care of me and for helping make life more fun! I don't know what I would do without y'all. Hope you're new year is going well! Much love!

Sophie-Buns...

I know it's been forever and since it was Dad's birthday and I blogged, I feel like I need to blog some more. So I am. :) A while back I promised some picture of Sophia as soon as I had some. Well I definitely have some now! and oh boy is she so dang cute! Here is sweet little Sophie...

I definitely think that Miss Sophie loves me the most out of the Aunties (sorry Rosie and Nell) but she definitely smiles the most with me. Ha ha...I think it's because one night when all of the boys were playing risk until four or five in the morning, I slept with Sophs in my arms. It was some serious bonding time. Plus Sophia gives me mega brain power. Eh he he...one day when I was holding her I played this game called Big Brain Academy or something (fanstastic game by the way; very addicting) and my score went from an 1187 to 1334. The point of that story is that Sophs and I love each other and enjoy helping one another out. Ha ha...so cute!

Papasan!!

Happy Birthday Papa!

Well today is my father Kuniyuki's birthday! He is now 56 years old! Who would have thought? He still looking pretty young even with his gray hair. He he he...he's the greatest though! Reasons I like the Papasan...he's been pretty "trendy" since I could remember with his big sunglasses and his popped up collar. He used to have a perm and and a mustache. He also used to drop me off and take me to school EVERY DAY! Papa always makes the best sashimi and sushi happiness...mmmmm...he also used to make this special concoctions for dinner that most of the time looked rather scary but usually tasted fairly good. He's always supported us in our athletics and what not and is a fantastic father and grandpa! He's a talented artist and karaoke singer. Papa also is the most servicable person. He's always on the go helping others and making time to help people out. So, Happy Birthday Papa! Thanks for all you do and for being a wonderful dad! WE LOVE YOU!!!
