My loves!! :)

So these are countless more pictures of the Foxy Fearsome Foursome!! :)

Julia, me, Kels, and Inna practicing our yoga poses! :) How do you think they are coming?!

After skool one day, like always...looking pretty cute! Julia-you must have not gotten the memo here- we are all wearing scarves except you! :( OHOH!!! speaking of!! Let's have more matching days! :)

Ohhhhhh!!! a change in the scenery!! FINALLY!! we are not in the parking lot....but over on the field next to the retirement center one day!! :) Wanting to get the pretty colorful trees in the back....but as you can see....there's only a limited amount of color because it was hard to grasp all of God's beauty in a camera's lenses. :)

Me and my dearest best friend!! :) Whom i will miss soooo much when i go off to college next year!! A college hopefully called CEDARVILLE UNIVERSITY!!! Seeing as how I got accepted for admissions there today!!ahhhh!!!! That's right!! :-) I am truly sooo happy!! Praise God!! Now lets just hope that He continues to provide scholarships and a job and a 27 on my next ACT and stuff of that sort!! :) Willing that's where He's leading me to go!



























Kelsey and Julia are always cracking up!! But me and Inna look pretty hot here i must say!! :P

And then the whole group!! All of us who participated in going to the retirement center this lovely afternoon. Kels, me, Taras, Victor, Julia, and Inna.

Actually, I kinda think we all look awkward in this picture....like it was awkward for us to take a picture together or something. Idk....Kels is standing weird, my hair is blowing kinda crazy, Taras looks embarrassed or something, Victor is kinda leaning into Taras....and Julia and Inna....you guys can criticize yourselves here. I cannot find a flaw!! :)

Right after we pushed the camera timer on, Victor gets a phone call. I decide to point to him and give a weird face....Taras is kinda catching my drift which Julia finds amusing. Inna and Kels are just happy to be taking another picture as Kels decides to show off her but and make it look big! :) lol






What nerds!! :) but cute nerds we are!! Ok, the "cuteness" is just a given by now!! ;)

Looking beautiful after a long orchestra concert at a church one Sunday. (Inna-i love that coat!! can i borrow it one day?!)lol I'm kinda serious!! :)

Looking hot in black and white after yet another orchestra concert! Ohhh!! Speaking of black and white.....has anyone ever heard of the store White House Black Market!? It's super cute, but also super expensive!! (note to my girls- we have to go there one time; save up!!)

This set of pictures was hard to get us all looking good in. Our eyes were either closed, looking away, or laughing!! But it looks like after some time we finally got a decent one!

This one too!! :)

















Yea...this is just evidence that it took us awhile! Look at me and Inna!!lol










Ok. Now i had to find a super cute picture to close the post with. Here, after the retirement center one day again we have me and Julia, Victor, Inna and Kels. And the tree climbers....Taras and Andy! I'm not sure why...but i really like this picture!! Victor looks like a pimp with four lovely girls around him....and it looks like he is enjoying every moment of it!!lol Taras looks kinda disappointed he isn't in Victor's place and Andy just doesn't care much! :) lol





Well, many more to come! That's for sure! :)

"Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth." ~Psalm 73:25

(what a powerful verse...think about it!)

Game ON!!!

These pictures are from quite a few weeks ago already. It was the first Forge football game i have been to during my high school years that i wasn't playing in band for. And man, it was truly great to be there-band free-not having to worry about the stress of unloading and loading the trailer or leaving 7 minutes before half time to practice or getting those butterflies in your stomach the moment your on the field and play the down beat of the music (& the list goes on!!) I did miss Will and Jon incredibly though; I'm not gonna lie.

Anyways....yes. It was weird to be there and not be in band; it brought back countless of good memories. But during this game we made some more memories.....Me, Kelsey, Karah, and Kevin. We all had some fun taking some silly pictures....

(Yes, this post is in reverse order again-feel free to read from the bottom up-i dnnt feel like fussing to get the pictures in order!)

These pictures were where we tried to pose so you can't see a double chin on us!! :) I must say, i think it did work!! Am i right or what!?lol Yup, we set the camera on timer mode on the bleacher seat in front of us. A very interesting way to take pictures i must say! :)

Then, during half time, several of us decided to take group pictures. Yes, involving jumping!! But it was hard to time it so it was Justin's idea to just kinda jump whenever....someone was bound to be in the air when the picture actually took!!

Chris, me, Kelsey, Justin, Kevin, Karah, Sam and Andy

I think we were getting ready for jumping pictures here......we were truly all set and ready to go!! :)

Taking after the pose of our "Foxy Fearsome Foursome" with the whole leg kicking thing. (But dnnt worry guys; ours is the original b/c in this picture, only every one's right leg is kicking!! (except Sam) Our FFF is much more advanced; using both legs to make it look symmetrical!) :)

Wanting to take pictures w/ the Tenors like in the good ole day when me and Kels used to compete to see who could get more pictures w/ them!! (haha-funny, but true!!) :)

I'm not gonna lie (once again!! yeayyy!! Please be sure to congratulate me for my honesty!lol) but it was horribly awkward taking these pictures w/ Nick in them b/c i'm pretty positive that he hates me and Kelsey for not doing band. I mean, he always glares at us in the hall or looks the opposite way or just totally ignores us all together when at one point we used to be friends and give hugs, complement each other, and (Nick would) even pick us up and spin us around w/ hugs!! (yea; if you can believe that!!) In this moment though, we all kinda played it cool. Below is our "ZOMBIE" pose; since all night we were talking about zombies and vampires!!ha

A family portrait with Mr. Brown. hahha-doesn't it look like that; i mean, i dnnt kno why Kels put her hand on Kirsten's shoulder like that!!?!?!haha

Then Karah was telling me to take a picture w/ Justin. I dnnt want it to just be us so i yelled for Kelsey...but it was me that he put his arm around!!!hehe. ;) lol Actually, please excuse me in this picture..i look absolutely horrible!! :( ewww!! i look sooo fat!! :(

Then trying to get Patrick to take a picture w/ us...apparently, he wasn't too thrilled about the idea as you can see my trying to urge him to pose!

This night was also "Future Patriot" night when the middle school band gets to go out onto the field and play w/ the high school kids during pre-game. (wow, i remember doing this-i was always out there playing drums/cymbals w/ Ragelle and Karah; years, years ago!) Anyways, Kirsten was paired up w/ Justin, as it only made sense to have the 2 best saxophone players paired together as the band assistant Mr. Morran said. But i love this picture!! I think it is totally cute how Justin put his arm around Kirsten!! I tell ya, if he would have done that to me when we were in the 7th grade, i would have probably passed our and never washed my shirt again!!lol Ok, that sounds really really weird!! :) lol

me and Amanda!! :)

haha-look at her dorky band uniform!!lol Truthfully, i love those band uniforms!! well, the design of them anyways...i must say, they are the nicest looking band uniforms i can think of....for being band uniforms!!

Had to snap a picture of her in the stands!! :)

Here, Preston wanted us to take a picture together so i invited Justin in it also.

Coming off the field after a success during pre-game

Look at how happy they both look!! :D

Sorry, couldn't resist taking a picture of Taras' brother Zack...he is just sooo cute!! :)

(But he looks very concentrated here!)

Kirsten & Justin having fun on the field!! :) It is blurry b/c they were hoping from side to side!! :)














Them actually playing this time!! The real reason for the game!! Kirsten did soooo good and i know she had a blast!! I also know that she will in the future, as long as never joins band in high school!! :-P hehe. lol

Well, i kno i have literally countless more pictures to post. But i have to get back to studying so leave me some comments on this one and in a few days i'll be back to upload more pictures. Only this time of the FFF!!! :) :) :) yeayyyy!! ;)

"Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, and in your knowledge, self control, and in your self control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." ~2Peter 5-8

Four Princesses....(and our Princes!) ;)

We'll get to the princes part in a little bit. Let me explain all these pictures first.

Sooo...seeing as how it is my senior year, i decided that i want lots of pictures of our "Fearsome Foursome" to take to college with me!! And what better way to get pictures than to take them every day of school!? haha-yep, believe it or not, that's what were doing.




These pictures were from our first day back....see us "raising the bar!?"lol Pretty cool huh? :) And not even planned!!haha










We try to come up w/ new poses every day...but that usually doesn't work too well b/c me and Kels are always in a rush to get home. (mom's orders!)lol So we just end up setting the camera timer on w/ the camera on the back of the car and smile pretty and run! :O

Here we attempted to be creative....i think they were pointing at me b/c i'm a senior (credits from our picture w/ Taras last year!) but i think they were pointing at Inna too b/c she is now an upper class man!! But what did your parents always tell you when you were younger; "it's not nice to point at someone b/c they can point back!" So that's what me and Inna are doing in return i guess!! :)



Attempting more cute poses.....kinda. :P

Yea.....this one's great-not really centered tho. Remember, we always set the camera on the car so it is kinda hard to center it perfectly all the time...:( But hey, what ever works, right?! And it is still super super cute!! :)

These days we decided to do a tribute to Taras-well, maybe everyone else didn't decide, but i did!!lol And here you see us by and IN Taras' old locker. haha-no, none of us have a weird obsession w/ him to where we have to take pictures by his old locker!!! It is just a memory b/c countless stories can be told involving it!!lol ;)









Man, i will never forget this day.....the day when i talked to Ukoo!!! ahhhh!!! :) :) :) hahaha-in case your wondering and don't already know, it didn't go as well as i had hoped!! :( lol

Ok, and here's where our princes come in!! :) But there are only three in these pictures-we'll add a fourth one in a sec. We have Taras, Victor, and in the second picture, Mark. Yep, those are our Prince Charmings!!! Hahaha-no!! ....They are prince charmings, but i'm not sure yet if they're ours...well...with the exception of a certain princess who shall remain nameless....INNA...any guesses!??!lol ;)

Soooo....at first when we began to take pictures, i had a plan to save them on my computer and re-name them w/ the school day number it was...but....that didn't work too well, seeing as how i never started and i surely don't remember what pictures were what days; way too many, even now!!haha :)







Ok, and here's our 4th "Prince"-Andy Rew!! :) lol.

(Inna, i love this picture!!) ;) hehe.

haha-I was not totally paying attention in this pic, my foot was suppose to be going the other way....whoops!!

Cute stuff!! :) But this picture kinda has a story i guess....there was a spider crawling towards me...and ha-me w/ spiders; bad combination!! So as the timer was flashing i was trying to smile and look happy but also go as far away from the spider as possible by backing up...then remembered someone was behind me....so there went my escape from the spider, i could no longer back up!! :( But thankfully the camera took the picture just before it crawled any further!! :) lol

Showing off "my" sweet ride in the back!! haha.













Love this picture-it's kinda ironic actually, i have a picture on my camera of just Taras waving, Inna has a pic on her camera of just Victor waving, and Kels' camera captured them both waving!! weird....lol :)

Oh, and by the way, this was the first day of Crossfire!!! :) :) :) (keep praying!!) :/

Well, there will be many more posts to come w/ our "FOXY fearsome foursome!!" (ha-had to add that first part..but it's soo true, right!?)hehe.
