Procrastinator?

I haven't wrote about the really exciting stuff in my life yet....
So here it goes....
Put on your seatbelts folks!!!!
Tuesday my family from England left. :( My grandma and uncle Keith. They were here for 3 weeks. It was great having them around with their cute accents. Haha!
It was great having them here because my WHOLE family on my moms side was at my house, eating dinner and its been a long time since I saw all of them together.
My mom has 1 younger sister, Denise. She lives in Idaho, with my grandparents. She is my favorite aunt! She is SO funny and awesome! She has 2 kids, a 12 year old, Rachelle and a 3 year old, Taylor. Rachelle is like my little sister. :)
My mom has 1 brother that lives in Utah. His name is David and he married Karen, she was previously married with 2 daughters, Heather (Shes my age) and Rachel (Zachs age)
We actually use to live right across the street from them. It was so fun! I love going to school with my cousins! We help eachother out and its always nice to have your family go to school with you. But technically, they are only my step cousins. But David married Karen in 2002 and they had a little boy named Parker. He is 5 now.
My mom also has one other brother that currently lives in Oregon, but they are moving to Idaho in a couple of months. He has 3 kids. Kaleb, 5. He is so cute. He named his pet frog after me!! Aren't I lucky!?! ;) And , Alex. He is 2. He is a charater!! He is so hilarious! and baby Megan. She is about 7 months and such a doll!
But that is my family for you!

Anyways, moving on....Last Monday, I went to a Dance Expo thingy for my Advanced Dance class. We went on a fieldtrip downtown to Rose Wagner Performing Arts Builiding, and every Jr. High dance company was there. I saw some old pals of mine! :) Haha! It was pretty fun though. I tried a whole bunch of new styles of dance, like African, and step dance, and I learned about the History of Dance. It was interesting!
But unfornately, This is probably my last year of being on a advanced team. I think I have just lost my passion for dance. I am not the best dancer, and I don't think I am the worst. But I think I need to try other sports and explore my talents. So in highschool I am going to try out for a sport that I like, and if I make it, I am destined to do it, If I don't....I guess I just suck at everything!!! Haha!
The whole [K]REW


Monique, Lani, and I at one of our dance performances.


Then Friday, I was going to go tanning and go to the movies with MJ (My bestie!) but she had to go to her Dad's house for the weekend. So, I called Velma. We found out that our friend Devin was out of town so we decided to play a prank on him and write all over his porch with sidewalk chalk and take pictures of us with random things by his house and put them on his myspace. :) We're crazy!!! Then Velma slept over and we watched my favorite movie, Ferris Buhlers Day Off. I made waffles the next morning and I burnt them! I swear one of them was on fire. hahaha!!!! I have like 50 bruises from fighting her....uggghhh. But you know, Typical Velma and Ericka right?!?




Okay, I have an announcement. I AM IN LOVE WITH IKEA!!!!! My fam-bam went shopping there on Saturday for like, 4 hours. But I loved every minute of it! We went to the resturant there and it was so delcious! I got some picture frames and slippers and a whole bunch of crap for Zach's room. I was obviously really hyper (When aren't I?) and I would hide in the showcase beds and when people came in I jumped out and scared them with Zach! I know what you're thinking...KIDS THESE DAYS!

Anyone for a spot of Tea?!?!


Oh yeah! Bring on the sun!!!!


Then Saturday night I went to the region dance with Velma, Allie, Maddie and Micah. All I have to say is...THANKS FOR DITCHING ME VELMA & ALLIE! We got there at like 7:30 and they left me there at like 8!!! So I chilled with my bestie Cole and Jordan and Millz. :) It was niiiccceee! Thanks for driving me home Cole (and Lauren.) :D

My fingers have cramps!!! Gotta go!
PEACE OUT! :D
Yours,
Ericka!!
