Keaton is 1!! August 21, 2009
Well, my little cousin Keaton James is 1 year old…he is growing up so fast!!! We had lots of fun watching him figure out the whole cake thing! I am sure that there was a couple of questions running through his little head.
1. what is this stuff?
2. why is it in front of me?
3. is it edible? looks a little questionable to me!
4. there is no need for a question. this stuff is nasty!
I love that little guy! He is adorable and loves life! He recently learned how to walk, so now every moment that he has to walk he walks! He is walking right through this life with every step as if it were a new and exciting experience.
We had lots of fun watching him open presents also! Or should i say..Kadence opening his presents. As she puts it, “i will help him mommy” to auntie of course. Haha..what a joy she is! She always finds a way to put a smile on our faces. Keaton got many fun “boy toys” to play with. I am sure that he will never have an idle moment. 
First Day of School!~Sophmore Year August 14, 2009
Well, today was the first day of my sophomore year of high school..and boy was it interesting! I got up at 6am.. showered and got ready. Then off to school i went!
So, i got to school today, and i needed to turn in my immunization records so that they had proof that i didn’t need another shot. When i turned them in the front desk lady told me that she had a note about me. So, we go into her office and she tells me that i am “no longer in the system”. This does not sounds good. So, she tells me that i need to go see Mr. Cruz my grade counselor guy, to figure out what to do. So at this point i am not to thrilled with how my first day of school is turning out. SO, i go up and sit in the office for about 10 mins while i wait for Mr. Cruz. He then makes a call and gets me back “in” and then i go and put my stuff in my “reassigned” locker…joy. So, then i get to sit in the office for a class period, but then i went to Mrs. Doyle’s class to hang out in there cause she is awesome. After that, to finish off my absolutely awesome day..i got to play Frisbee in Math class and get asked if i was “in the right place” by some girl in my Spanish class…it made me laugh, cause i did look so out of place! I am the only sophomore in my class…so it makes sense. The next period was English, and pretty much all that was was talking.. fun.
So that was my first day of sophomore year…lets see how the rest of it goes!
Fourth of July Celebration! July 12, 2009
The Thruston’s 4th of July was very exctiting! We started off the day by getting up at 8am and going to the parade held here locally in Downtown Monument. It was a lot of fun! This year becca and I walked around and actually got to see people we knew which was very nice!
Waiting for the parade to start…
Visiting with friends! Becca, Abbie, and Katherine…
Me joining in on the picture!
All of the old awesome cars come out for the parade, which is a lot of fun to see! Becca thought taht this one was super cool…”except for the windows”, she says. 
I thought this one was awesome.
After the parade was over, it was becca and mine job to make the fruit salad! I did help, but I just couldn’t get into the picture.
My self portrait…
Becca working hard!
That afternoon at 3pm, we went over to our pastors house to eat dinner and hang! It was tons of fun! We played Phase 10 Twist and played ladder golf.
This is the Beautiful cake that Meagan made for us…it was very delicious.
Meagan explaining what our choices were.
This is Melody, Meagan’s older sister. She is awesome too!
We played this game called Phase 10 Twist, and I lost horribly. I much prefer the normal Phase 10, cause I can actually paly it and I can win. We had lots of fun and laughs. The Rowell family makes me laugh…they are awesome! Later we went to Palmer lake to see the fireworks which was really awesome! And that concluded our 4th of July celebration.
Vacation~Day two~The many faces of the Thruston’s June 12, 2009
Well, on day two we were sitting in the car and I decided that it was time for us to take our photo shoots. Photo shoots turned into just shoots shich turns into laughs which led to funny faces which ultimately led to; The Many Faces of the Thruston’s. Each of the girls in the fam got a turn at doing all of their faces. It was supposed to just be smily faces, but Mom and Becca added a couple more in there too. I never realized how many we had actually taken until I uploaded them jsut now. But I hope you guys enjoy them!
Vacation~Day 2 June 12, 2009
Well, Day two of vacationwas pretty awesome. We got up in the morning, ate and left. Today we went through Arkansas to go to Memphis , Tennessee to pick up Becca. So, as you can see through all the pictures, Road trips with the Thruston’s are completely awesome and amazing. I love taking pictures, especially with my new camera 
, so you get to see all of everything that we did! So as it turns out we were two hours late picking up Becca, cause we totally miscalculated how many hours it was going to take, so that was a bummer. But when we did get there Becca was happy to see up, and we were happy to see here. Oh, but a very sad thing for her was that there was NO food in the part of the airport that she was in, so she was completely starving for two hours also!!! I think that that is very stupid on the airport’s part…very, very stupid. So anyways…that night we stayed at the Plantation Suites and Inn…it was our first day of feeling the humidity and also the bugs…oh the joy. At the Inn that we stayed in there was a pool which was very exciting. This is the first pool that we got to swim in in the open air this summer!! Oh how we all LOVE to swim! So that was night numero dos!! Oh, and an interesting fact is; Carl’s Junior is Hardee’s in the east.
Vacation~Day 1 June 8, 2009
Day 1 of vacation…We got on the road at about 9 to 10am on friday morning and so the journey begins.
We got the bike on the rack and closed up! Today we were trying to get as close to Memphis as possible! Tomorrow we have to pick up Becca at the Memphis Airport, so we have to be there on time. We ended up at Tulsa, Oklahoma that night. It is really awesome because none of us had ever been to Oklahoma before so it was pretty cool to go to a new state.
During the ride on the first day it is natrual that one would watch a movie if one had a DVD player. So, naturally Lina and I watched a movie. We watched National Tresure numero uno…I love that movie. It was way cool to be able to watch it on the DVD player too. The only downside is that the driver, Dad in this case, can’t see out of his/her rearview mirror. It’s okay though, cause dad has skills. 
Around noon time we stopped in Burlington to eat lunch. It is funny, cause this is the same town that I stopped at with Phoebe to eat at a Mexican Resturant! I even saw the resturant! It was a funny coincident. So we were looking for an actual place to stop and eat, but all we found was a neighborhood with huge trees! So we stopped on a corner and pulled out the food! It was a nice place to stop! The trees were very pretty.
Well, Dad brought his roadbike. And knowing him, he was not going to let it go unused. So in Hays, Kansas, we stopped so that dad could go on a ride. He was planning to ride about 30 miles, so we had to sit around until he could get a ways before we caught up to him. 
And you guys probably know my mom too and she LOVES to look at colleges and guess what?! There is a college in Hays! So we sat at the college for about 1 1/2 hours, until we could hit the road. Look at the campus!! Isn’t it beautiful?! I love the architecture.
This is a cool bridge that led to another part of the campus. We walked across and realized how bad all of us had to go to the bathroom! So we walked over to the building and knocked on the door. And, just our luck, there was a worker guy walking by right as we knocked! How conventient! So he let us in and let us go to the bathroom. Sweet I know! 
This is a picture of LIna in the bathroom of the college. It turns out that the building was the dorms for the college…no wonder the door was locked! Haha. And yes…of course we had to take a picture inside the bathroom! We had to have proof!
This is the “NO guns” sign that we saw at the college. I thought it was funnyish interesting that they would have a sign saying that..
While we were waiting at the college, Lina decided to climb a tree, so I got in a pic with her.
The picture on the right is me taking a picture of my shadow on the wall of the car beign bored. The picture below is dad climbing the last hill of his ride!
That night we stayed at the Days Inn in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was horrible cause there was no conditioner!!! ugh.
And this concludes Day1 of the Thruston Family’s Summer Vacation…;)
Air Force Academy Air Show=AWESOME May 27, 2009
Well, today is the first day in a long time that we have had a sunny day.
So, along with the sun came a walk/jog/run! Mom, Dad, and I headed over to the Santa Fe trail and started going! Mom and I walked and Dad followed behind on his bike. Once he actually caught up I got to jog beside him until we got to our spot to stop and watch the air show. We waited for a long time…then we waited some more…and then I got cold, so I got up and ran up the trail and then came back. Once I got back, the show still hadn’t started, but once it did we were all really excited!
Well, when we were on the trail going back, I almost stepped on a snake the first time, and mom almost stepped on the snake the second time! It was craziness. Mom and I also got some reallt cool pictures of a bridge with a creek beside it. It was really cool.
So I just figured out how to do a gallery and it is awesome. You guys can click on the pictures to make them bigger! Sweet I know!!
So anyways, today was a lot of fun! I will be sure to blog on our trip (of which we leave in 1 day and a half!!!) so make sure you keep checking out my blog!
