Just a little ketch n' up

So last time I posted I was so flippin' excited to get the braces off- and well here's the story.  I was so excited to go to the orthdontist I didn't even really sleep.  I keep having these dreams I get my braces off and my teeth are so cute I just can't stop smiling.  So I get to the ortho and the assistant looks at my chart and says, "oh you might get your braces off today."  My heart totally leapt and I was so excited... Long story short the doc came and looked at my braces and asked "Do you wear you rubber bands?"  what a dumb question! of course I do. At night I even double them... needless to say----

Yup---still a braceface.  He said, "give me one more month." When he laid me back tears totally started streaming down my face. I think on my record there is probably a warning that says, "Beware- emotional..."

 I have been so busy lately! But I just wanted to do a shout out first of all to the mother.  She is so flipping cute have you seen her?!P.S she is so talented, kind, loving, empathetic, generous... I could make a huge long list but she is such a cute little quilter I hope when I "grow-up" I am the best mom ever- like she is.  I think I'm pretty lucky I am the only kid that looks like her. 

Little Alayna is pretty hilarious- I just had to add this picture in because she calls me "Jole" because mom does.  Anyways she always says "No- Jole,"  I crawled under the quilting frames with her and made her a "'Layna taco." She loved it. 

I heart Harry Potter.  Not going to lie- sometimes I wish I was a wizard.  I would totally be on the Quidditch team.  I am reading these freaking addicting books right now which is so bad, I always have homework or studying to do but can't put these stupid books down.  woot for the movie coming out!
The best story for last...
Ok, so let me just say I have the best dad in the world... I am totally his favorite child- listen to this.  I am running a marathon on July 24th so today I had to run 18 miles.  Well, it gets really hot really early lately so I had to get up at 4:30 so I didn't die of heat stroke.  Mom and Dad weren't really happy I would be running so early by myself so... Dad totally got up at 4:30 and rode my scooter alongside me!  It was so nice, he would ride ahead and when I needed a drink he would hand it to me while I kept running then he would ride by me and pick it up.  He would break off pieces of my power bar and hand them to me too.  He is amazing!  I hope that one day I find a man that is as amazing as my dad (which could be hard, so I might not ever get married :( haha jk). It was so nice to have him because I usually run by myself.  Thanks pops- love ya.  

Well- we're off to seattle tomorrow to visit tif and josh! woot- and we are going to a mariners game!!! wahoo.  I can't even wait.  

P.S I get my braces off July 28th... can't wait. This time it's real.
