Westville, New Jersey

My next few weeks are PACKED. Like seriously, packed.
I'm in New Jersey!!!!!! The rest of the family is making they're way to Washington state while I'm here. My days so far are filled with friends, seeing my godmother, babysitting, hanging out with my godbrother, birthdays, and sleepovers! It's seriously amazing.
My mom just recently did an introduction post for all us kids (and our doggies!) here's the link, check it out. :)
ANYwho's.
I haven't blogged for a while because there just wasn't anything to blog about. See, only about 4 people knew I was going to be in New Jersey. Because I wanted to surprise my godbrother, my godmother, and one of my very good friends! It worked out really well, and was simply amazing. So that's why I didn't blog about it, those people read my blog. :) hehehe.
Yesterday I surprised my godmother, godbrother, and Courtlyn. Tamra dropped me off at Siobhans (Sha-von is how you pronounce her name)..Jenna was there so we went to Target, and Kohls! I have funny pictures from that. After that we went back to Siobhans house, Jenna's mom came and picked her up, and then we ran over to Jodi's, (she's my godmother) surpised her and Zack (he's my godbrother!), visited for a few minutes, then we ran back over to Siobhans and surprised Courtlyn!! She thought that she was going over to siobhans after her summerstage thing to go swimming xD I hid in the deck box! It was SPLENDID! Courtlyn and I spent the night at Siobhans house, then Tamra came and picked me up. Now I'm Tamra's house!

So yeah.

Sorry, that post is ALL OVER the place!! Definitely my bad. I just don't know how to word any of it, I guess.

Buda, Texas

Why is it that whenever I promise myself that I will blog a few times a week at least, I don't? It's like I don't find the time. I can't believe I haven't blogged since the 29th of May! Jeez.

I'm really, really missing home (Olympia, Washington) the past few days. So much has been going on the past few weeks that I can't remember it all!

We've mainly just been visiting my mom's friends.

But last night is a totally different story...

We went to a mall in Austin which is 10 miles north of where we're staying. (Buda, Texas)

My mom needed to pick up her Mac from the apple store and I needed some clothes, sunglasses and the other kids needed some clothes and shoes. Because we haven't been having much luck with thrift stores lately. Well, Princess got her ears pierced! That's not the highlight though, just one. We were getting ready to leave, I was Sephora, and my mom was at Stride Rite with Discovery, Princess, and Inquisitive.

That's when we found out that there was a terrible storm going on, and there was a tornado.

Heading right for us. The mall was about to close anyway, but we go to the doors to go outside, and it is POURING down rain! Like, seriously. There was lightning and thunder, and it was super loud. I was like "Mom, we have GOT to go NOW" Because the other two kids? Were back at the house. (Camper)

She ran across the parking lot and got the car and drove up to where we were and I pushed all the kids in the car and jumped in. Then we started heading back.

And let me tell you, it was crazy. It was raining so hard that everyone was doing 35 on the freeway and had they're hazards on. It was insane.

We got back, grabbed Free Spirit, and Constant, and went over to the walmart with Clarissa, Josh and they're baby Lukin behind us. Because thats what the park host was telling everyone to do. Because its a bigger, more stable building, and would be safer if the tornado came through Buda. We ended up in the walmart for a while. My mom lightened the mood by helping the kids spend they're allowances. Constant was super excited about the star trek toys they had. Because we don't really shop at walmart..haha.

I was praying like I've never prayed before. That the tornado would go away, or be re directed. God answered my prayers, I think :) The tornado warnings expired a few hours later, it ended up going right around us! Whew. We were pretty freaked out.

It's supposed to be 102 degrees today!!! That's frickin' hawt. There isn't a pool here or anything.

We might just die. mhmm. ;)
