ik this doesn't count as a REAL POST bc im js saying im gonna post again soon, but... i WILL gonna post again soon 😂

heyy!!  today I had a private volleyball lesson with a coach for an hour! it was so helpful with my serving and it was also rly fun! it was for an hour but it went by soo fast. 😭 it was definitely worth the money. in the middle of it, the power went out in the gym! it was js us there so it was kinda creepy but it was only for twenty seconds. they have a backup generator or something there so the lights turned back on after a tiny bit.  we had a rly busy weekend loll. on saturday me, hattie, mom and dad left at 10 ish to go to our friends' cabin like an hour away! we went tubing and they whipped us around sooo much. after supper we watched Jurassic world and it was more interesting then i thought it was, it was actually pretty good lol  yesterday me, lily, hattie, mom and dad left to go to a TOBYMAC concert 3 1/2 hours away! we literally got back at ONE THIRTY!! we went with my mom's cousin's family and some other people from her side too. im still rly tired today tho 😴 ...

Time for PART 2 of the tragic three amigas story😂:  on friday like around supper, claire's mom texted again and said that their flight. had. been. RESCHEDULED!! 😃 now they were coming on sunday instead of friday.  she got to stay for longer, too! instead of coming on friday night and leaving early monday morning, she got to come sunday afternoon and stay till wednesday before supper.  monday-thursday i had a volleyball camp, but after the first day on monday we asked the coach if claire could come for free, and she said yes!  here some of the pics we took while she was here!  on the way back from the airport   getting boba on monday after volleyball  with our drinks  taking selfies on tuesday        recreating the first pic from the last time she came   the second pic is the one from this summer  still taking pics lol  during the bike ride  we all wore blue shirts lol  me and claire mad...

heyy!!  its been a couple weeks since i posted about claire coming back to minnesota! the whole friday - sunday thing did. not. work. why? well i'll tell you why!!  her flight was SUPPOSED to come in at 8:37pm friday night, but friday afternoon we got a text saying that their flight had been cancelled because all of the airport's computers were down.  oh wait i have to go rn but ill post a part 2 later!!

GUESS. WHAT!?!? MY BESTIE CLAIRE IS COMING TO VISIT!! she moved last year in July to COLORADO 😭 and ive only seen her like once since then. she came for a few days in september so its been like 9 MONTHS SINCE IVE SEEN HER. 😥 but now shes coming for three nights in less then a week!  heres some pics from the last time she came 😂 i know those are all pretty goofy but what can i say bc THATS HOW WE ROLL!!  im so excited!😀 and this time shes staying for longer than she did in september. i cant wait bc its only a few days till we get to pick her up from the airport !

Heyy!!  Tonight was SUMMERFEST for gz! Its the end of year party we always have! It's kinda sad tho, bc now gz is done for the year until next fall.  (this was the little picture that they made for it) It's always sooo fun tho! There was a Hawaiian shirt contest (which ummm i kinda forgot about. oops) and free food! There was nerds gummy clusters and i ate like wayy too many of them. After they always have a big water war! This year there was a fire truck so we got sprayed. so. BAD!!! When we drove home we had to sit on towels bc our clothes were so wet!  I'll try to post tmrw! if theres anything to post about hehe

Heyy!! Today me and lily made rly yummy drink! Instead of starbuck's blended strawberry lemonade, we made a blended raspberry limeade and it was soo yummy! The recipe is super easy and you don't have to have a bunch of special ingredients.  ✨ BLENDED RASPBERRY LIMEADE  ✨             makes: 2 servings  Ingredients  - 1 1/2 cups limeade - Raspberry puree (1/3 cup raspberries, 3 tsp sugar, 2 tsp water)  - 1 - 1 1/2 cups ice (depends on how slushy you like yours, if its already crushed it makes it easier to blend) Instructions - Put the raspberries, sugar, and water in the blender and puree until blended  - Strain the puree to get rid of the raspberry seeds (ew)  - Add the puree back into the blender, pour in the limeade and blend  - Put the ice in and blend (it should be slushy) - Enjoy

MY RATING OF COLORED PEPPERS: BEST TO WORST  🧡 orange peppers        (this is for eating peppers raw. ALL peppers are just meh once you cook them)        theyre the yummiest.  💛 yellow peppers        not AS good as orange peppers, but still yummy. and i like how colorful they are  ❤️ red peppers        orange and yellow peppers are a little bit sweet, but red ones arent rly sweet at all ☹️ 💚 green peppers        the WORST peppers, bc some of them are bitter! actually, this is like the only kind of peppers that's better cooked the only emoji i could find for peppers is a GREEN ONE. ew. 🤢 sooo i went into emoji kitchen and made...AN ORANGE ONE!!  thanks for actually reading this post! now you all know my peppers rating!! comment below your pepper rating! 🫑 **SIDE NOTE**  peppers with hummus is super yummy 

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!  Sorryyyy I know I haven't posted the retreat pics yet and it's been a week since we got back. But I can't get. Them. To. LOAD!! It's so annoying. ☹️ Today has been a pretty chill Mother's Day! For lunch we went out for egg rolls and egg foo young with my aunt and my grandparents, and for supper we're having chicken and shrimp hibachi. I have to leave in like forty five minutes for volleyball tho! It's kinda sad tho, bc then I have to leave on Mothers day. But then I get to see my friends at practice!  Ohhh since were talking about volleyball guess what? We got a new volleyball net! Our old one was literally breaking SO MUCH! The net started ripping from the cord that connects from the two poles, and then it ripped all the way. I could actually spike the ball 😀 We opened up the pool a few weeks ago! I went swimming with Hattie but is was soo cold!!  I have to leave in half an hour now! I'll try to post again soon! 

I know it's been a couple of days since we got back so I will post the pics of Mother Daughter retreat soon, I just don't rly have them yet...😶‍🌫️ BUT I WILL HAVE THEM SOON!!

Guess what... WE'RE LEAVING FOR MOTHER DAUGHTER RETREAT IN HALF AN HOUR!!  tho knowing MOM and ELLA, it's prolly going to be more like an hour. 😭 I'm sooo excited!! I have to go tho, but I'll post pics of it once we get back on Sunday! 

Hi! I just finished a lower body workout. 🙃 ~ Guess what? We leave for Mother Daughter Retreat on friday!! It's only four more days! On Saturday there's a "red carpet awards event," but your supposed to bring fancy clothes to it. 😦 I don't really have any "fancy" clothes to bring! Even if I did, why would I bring it to CAMP!? I just looked and its says that there's a lot of rain on Saturday. 😭🌧️ I have to shower and then eat supper bc its seven and I still haven't had anything yet!!  ~  I didn't end up showering yet bc I was too hungry!! We had chicken tikka masala, rice, and roasted broccoli and it was SOO good! After, me and Lily played Minecraft hehe  ~ A couple weeks ago we got new(ish) van, but then today we had to get it TOWED!!  A rly big bolt came off from somewhere in the van and then the wheel got all wonky!! We have to leave on Friday for the retreat, so hopefully it gets fixed before then. If it doesn't, then we have to ta...

Hi!! It's 8:04pm right now lol ~ I have a sad story!! 😭 This morning I was making myself random cinnamon roll protein waffles for breakfast and the recipe WAS SO BAD!! There was probably a typo or something, bc it said to put in 3/4 cup of oats so I did, but Ella said that it was prolly supposed to be BLENDED oats, not just plain old oats. But without it the oats blended, it just turned into oatmeal in the waffle maker and it was literally so. hard. to clean out!!  So I made myself a chocolate raspberry protein smoothie instead! 😀

Heyy!! I was looking at some of my old posts and then I realized... well... um...some of them are kinda dumb lol But you can't rly blame me bc I started this when I was ten! TEN! Also for some reason I did like a MILLION cat posts so ?? ~  Today I didn't do much, mostly school. *gags* And I have a health test tomorrow, so I had to study a lot today.😭 Other than that it was good tho!  Yesterday at volleyball we did a lot of passing! We also worked on our hitting and approaches. The last half hour-ish we did a scrimmage, which was my favorite part of it! Its sad tho, bc I only have three practices left! Next Sunday I'm going to be so tired bc all the girls in my family are going to a retreat at Shamineau! This will be the third time we go to the Mother Daughter Retreat. My grandma, my aunt, and some of our cousins and our second cousins (or something like that lol) are coming too. Its soo fun we always stay up so late tho so I'll be rly tired during practice! 🏐 We had r...

  AAHHH my eyes are literally SOOO itchy rn bc i forgot to take my allergy medicine this morning!! Me and Delaney went on the tramp for like an hour! actually like half the time we were playing games with her little brother and his friend lolll  ~  I'm leaving in like 45 minutes to Crossfire for volleyball! It's for an hour and a half and we work on skills for pretty much all of it. At the end we'll do a scrimmage sometimes, but only for a little bit. The first time I went, I was still getting better from being sicko (like Ella and Hattie call it), and we do sooo much running my throat got so dry!! All of the drills were rly confusing at first so I had to keep asking one girl how to do them 😭😂 This is my 5th time going so its a lot easier now.  ~ I probably have to eat supper before I go, but I'm not rly sure what I'm going to have. Well, I'm not rly sure if anyone even looks at this blog anymore bc I took like a 9-month break from posting, but now I've po...
