We just haven't seen each other very much...

Lol... sorry for being kind of depressing...

but thanks for the 'little vent'

soon enough we'll get our twin time.. and I'll feel better...

I LOVE MY SISTER!

A Short Pictoral Documentary Post :)

For your viewing pleasure and mine, I went through the pictures on

our downstairs computer and found a few of "the good ones" from 2011 so far.

I believe they're all in order.

To start off with, we have this one. It's just a reminder that this past winter

was COLD! Very cold!

Some of the monotony was broken up by the wonderful trip we got to go on

in February to Texas though! While there, Rachel and I celebrated our 19th birthdays!

With ice cream cake of course!

And after 1 amazing week of warmth, we had to leave beach and come back

to good ol' Illinois snow...

Then that next week Rachel and I went ice skating for our friend Anna's

birthday! Strangely though, it was for Anna's birthday, but she is not in this picture...

Then Rachel and I decided to go re-celebrate our birthday by ourselves ;)

We went out to supper and were going to go see a movie, but sadly, the movie

we wanted to see was no longer in theaters so we just went to the mall and then
came home. But we had fun together so I guess that's all that counts!

Another wonderful thing about the early part of this year is that I got to spend

a lot of time with my niece! She came to live with my brother this winter, and so while

he went to work she would come and stay the day with us! And a lot of times

my family was off doing other stuff so I got a lot of 1 on 1 time with her.

(No she didn't have an accident, that is juice that she accidentally spilt on herself)

:) The days I'd let her dress herself... Um, yeah...

I found a new favorite fingernail polish :)
Although I don't paint my fingernails much, its mostly "toenail" polish!

Skydiving for the second time!!!

We had baby bunnies born in our yard.

Actually, Crystal tells everyone that Taffie became a Mommy, because the babies

were born in her little fenced in area in the front yard.
They've gotten much bigger now and its fun to watch them hop all around the yard.

And Pegasus! Rachel and I still go out there every Thursday.

Its neat to watch the riders progress in their riding skills and see the changes

that "just" riding a horse can bring about in their lives!
It is so cool to be able to be a part of that!

Well, that by far does not cover all of 2011's happenings so far, but this was just meant to be a short little re-cap of a few of the things that have gone on this year!
