The Hoops

I'm so behind on this post. Sorry, Hoop Girls! The Hoops came last Thursday and left last Sunday. We had so much fun! They came up because Jarah and Nathan had soccer games every day they were here (except Thursday). They got here Thursday around 2:30. The rest of the day everyone hung out but Aunt Annie and Uncle Kenny had to go to Anchorage to run to Costco and turn soccer papers in. We watched Eragon while Aunt Annie and Uncle Kenny were gone. That night we were in bed by 10:30 and jarah and Leah (and the boys) fell asleep by 11:00. Abigail and I chatted a little cause we weren't tired.

The next morning Aunt Annie and Uncle Kenny had to take all their kids to Anchorage for soccer. They we're wanting to leave around 7:00am but jarah and Leah had to actually go wake them up at 7:00. They slept in the trailer outside. Abigail and Leah got to stay home with us. That morning we watched North and South and then went on a drive and stopped by the river. While we were on our drive the car started to stink really bad so we stopped and it was smoking just a little. Some fan or something broke. I was really freaked out and Abigail and Leah thought it was hilarious. We saw three moose and a dead porcupine. There was this little pool area that was kinda cut off from the rest of the river so it was nice and warm. Well it's warm for Alaska river water. ;-) We went there for a bit. The boys went in it and Leah even dived all the way in! Then when we came home we watched more North and South and then everyone got home and Aunt Annie got to watch the last of it with us. :-) We had hamburgers for dinner. Aunt Annie and Uncle Kenny slept in the trailer outside again and the girls camped out in the living room. The boys slept in the bedroom and mama and daddy slept in their bedroom. We got in bed around 11:00 and chatted for a little. We fell asleep around 12:00.

On Saturday we just sat around and were lazy. Aunt Annie and Uncle Kenny had all the kids with them at soccer again except Abigail, Leah, and Elijah. They got to stay home with us. Abigail made chocolate chip cookies. We watched a Duggar episode and we also watched The Goblet of Fire (Harry potter). It was a lot of fun. When everyone got home we found out that soccer for Sunday had been cancelled so we would just be able to hang out. We all (except the boys and Selah) stayed up really late chatting/hanging out. The. Dads went to bed around 12:00 but the Moms and us 4 girls talked until 1:00. 

I don't have any pctures from Saturday. 

(You may notice that Friday and Saturday I only have pictures with Abigail and Leah. Jarah had soccer those days.) 

    

Sunday we skipped church and Mama, Aunt Annie, Abigail, Leah, Jarah, and I got to go on a girl date to Target. It was a lot of fun. We got coffees and just walked around. At target there's these little cup holders you can stick on the side of your cart. It was funny because we had six cup holders on our cart. I wish I would've gotten a picture. We got matching notebooks, Abigail got nail polish, and I got a curling iron. I've been wanting one for a while because the straightener doesn't curl my hair like it does Mamas. So I was happy to find one for only $10. :-)

I LOVE this picture. She was laughing because she had made a funny face before. 

(This is not the funny face mentioned above) 

This picture is one Abigail took of me and jarah taking the above picture. Haha!

Being goofs

In the car on the way home. The glasses we are wearing-I had bought two pairs a couple weeks ago because they were only a dollar. The girls don't have a target in Fairbanks so they were hoping there would still be some. And there were. They bought five pairs I think. Haha. But c'mon, one dollar glasses? Ya can't beat it. 

Leah's so cute! :-)

We were using our glasses as mustaches. Lol! We're dorks. I love Abigail in this photo! 

So that's all the pictures. But we had SO much fun!!!! We were sad to part on Sunday afternoon but it wasn't too bad since they're coming again next month. YAY!!!!!
