Brace face :)

As you all may know, I've been wanting braces for quite sometime now. And now they're finally here! I got them on in April and are adjusting to them fine. I brush after EVERYYY meal like supposed too! I'm taking great care of them. My mom is very proud of how well I'm doing with them; but she nags cause the mouthwash I need is 5 dollars a bottle and we have to buy a new one each week :)

Let's have some more change!

I was getting quite tired of having the same hairstyle for awhile now. So I decided to update my look. As you all probably know, I went to my dads for Spring Break. While I was there, Bonnie took me to the mall and we saw a place and agreed it was acceptable to get my hair done. I was so satisfied with my haircut. But it still just wasn't enough change. So, the next day, I had my dad dye my hair black. He did a great job. It turned out great. I absolutely love it. I am so happy with it :) Everyone at school loves it also!

Workin at the Car Wash

Sunday afternoon the girls decided to wash the car. At least I think they were washing the car.

Greg's Audition for BreakSk8

Yesterday we went rollerskating. Greg felt so confident in his skating abilities that he recorded an audition for BreakSk8.

Bowl-a-rama Mama

Last Wednesday we went bowling. Greg was the winner in a very close game with Amy 105 to 102. The girls did great too! And we had a lot of fun.

Dancin' Daddy

When Emily comes down for spring break she wanted to go see Legally Blonde the Musical. So Greg went on-line to check it out and decided to do his own interpretation of the musical. Lexi captured it all on video. To get the full effect, tip your computer monitor on it's side.

R.I.P. Tyler Matthew Taulbee

I've dedicated a song to Tyler. Your Guardian Angel by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.

This is Tyler Matthew Taulbee. He passed away on February 14, 2009. He has been one of my best friends since 4th grade. He has always been there for me. No matter what situation it might be. Tyler sat next to me in band and would always sing "Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen" to me. I remember how in band we named our saxophones. On the back of our music he would always write "LEXI IS MY BEST FRIEND!" We also went around stealing all the pencils on the floor. We kept them in our band folder. I have so many more stories to say about him. But it'd take quite awhile to explain them. He was in my first 4 periods with me. We also sat at the same lunch table. Every time we would see each other in the hallways we'd always run up to each other and hug each other so tight. I just don't understand why he had to go. On Friday, the day before he passed away, I was talking to him on yahoo messenger. His last words to me were "When I see you when you come home, I'm going to give you the biggest hug EVER. I promise!" Recently, when I had visited home, I went to his viewing and his funeral and it just tore me apart. It didn't look like him at all. It was not the same Tyler I remembered. With the help of all of my friends we all worked through it together. Everyone was hugging each other, and crying together, and laughing about the memories. Tyler always had a smile on his face. He had the most incredible laugh. It made everyone else around him laugh with him. He had such an impact on every one's life. Even if he did not know the person. Tyler told me absolutely EVERYTHING! And it was mutual. Tyler didn't have a perfect life. He had a lot of struggles. And one thing Tyler taught me is, no matter what you're going through in life, there's always some reason to put a smile on your face. Rest in peace Tyler. You'll never be forgotten. I promise. I love you best friend. Save a pair of wings for me in heaven.
