I have some pretty exciting news. News that YOU should all be excited about too!
I made a fan page for Knight ;) So you all need to scurry over and ‘like’ it! Leave a little note too and he’ll answer you back ;) Oh, and if you like it, it’s an extra entry for the giveaway that I am currently having! Be sure to enter, lovelies!
Oh and here are some new pics of my boy. There was a super clear, nice, and slightly warm day last week and I thought of giving him a bath. Or at least half-a-bath.
Knight is…a bit…scared of water. Something I need to work with him on. :) I got his legs wet though! And if you were the one who was doing it, you’d be proud of yourself. ;) haha Just sayin’!

Oh! You know my friend Miwaza? She’s pretty much ‘fabulous’ incarnate. Well, because the time change is so drastic from Oregon to Tokyo, we have to try to time our chats just right so we’ll both reach each other at a time that we can both talk. The other night, I stayed up till past midnight talking to her. One of the best past-midnights ever!! :D She is just too cool for words. Seriously. We have so much in common…can relate on so many different levels in life…and honestly, God seems to be teaching us some of the same things in life right now.
She has been such a huge blessing to me…and is such a dear friend.
Love you, Miwaza!

Oh and by the way, I am seriously considering saving money to fly to Japan……………….....

Oh! Remember how I said that I was going to write a ‘review’ on The Hunger Games books? Well…I’ve decided that I’m not going to. And that I’m just going to wait to give my full opinion when I write my movie review on it.
Yup! I’m getting a huge group of friends together to go see it! We were going to go to the midnight showing/opening night, but since it’s Thursday evening/Friday morning, most of the people wouldn’t have been able to make it since they have school or work the next day. So we’re doing it Friday evening (and staying up late into Saturday;). I’m pretty excited about it, actually! One person I know keeps worrying that they’re going to butcher it. I keep telling him to calm down. :P
What about you? Are you going to see it on opening night? Or just waiting till it comes out on DVD? Are you excited about it?

Monday morning, I went to the S. family’s house. I try to go over there on a fairly regular basis and just help out. Mrs. S. is a very dear, role model figure in my life. She and Mr. S. have 6 children…ages 12 and under. I love these kids;) And you have no idea how special it is to arrive at their house and have 5 pairs of arms reaching out to hug you. Makes me feel so loved! <3
::clears throat::
Not totally sure I'm such a good example to them, but...yeah...

Who is excited about the Tangled sequel: Ever After???
Have you gone to see it yet? Did you like it? No spoilers though, okay? ;)

I am planning another dance!!! :) Well, my friend Anna and I are doing it together again. ;) After the last dance, people contacted me and told me how much fun they had and that they hope ‘Anna and Raquel will put together another dance’. So Anna and I decided to oblige them. We’re so nice. ;) It’s going to be a ‘Spring Dance’, so…fun, twirly, pretty, springy dresses/skirts for the girls and the guys…yes, we are allowing jeans this time. Just no hoodies or sweatshirts and stuff like that.
Anyway, pretty excited about that!! Coming up in April.

And here are some photos of our adventures at Crown Point...
Zach's infamous 'turtle face'
Converse FTW!
See that stained glass window?
Umm...yeah, BEHIND the really cute guy ;)
So!
It's a beautiful window, really. But it was SOO windy and foggy that Alfonzo's poor lens started getting all fogged up. :( I really wanted to try taking some better pics with it in the background, but...alas! I was unable to. Hopefully, we'll go up there again sometime :)
My family and I went to Grandpa and Grandma's house yesterday...and our cousins met us there. Have I mentioned that I have really cool cousins?? ;) These are the younger brothers of my Hani...the one who is in Uganda.
We drove up to a place called Crown Point. Thaddeus (I call him Tad;) and I sat in the back seat and were taking pics on my iPad........yeah......
Umm...yeah, BEHIND the really cute guy ;)

Well, lovelies, that’s it for now! Be sure to enter my giveaway! Spread the news about the fabulous prizes that people have sponsored me with!
::hugs:: love you all! You make my days so happy!
15 of your thoughts:
Oh my gosh! *FREAKOUT* I didn't know there was a Tangled sequel!! I want to see it!!
THERE'S A SEQUEL TO TANGLED?!?!?!?!?! Oh, I MUST see this. On a completely random note: I love seeing pics of you and your sisters :)
This post put a smile on my face :)
Tangled Ever After was really cute, you can watch it on youtube if you like.
I can't wait to hear your review about the Hunger Games! :D
So, if you're going to see the premiere, I assume that means you like it... ;) I'll probably wait till it comes out in Redbox, unless my super cool aunt gets free tickets somewhere.
Not too excited about Tangled 2. I think it'll just be like all Disney remakes -- unnecessary and odd. When they make a great movie, they should leave it alone! Well, maybe I'm just being a grouch... I'll take it back if I like the movie ;)
xo,

Is Tangled Ever After a full movie? and if so, do you have the trailer for it?
This was such a happy post. I love rambles :)
OH MY WORD!!!!! {Freaking out here!} Another Tangled? AWESOME! To Jesus Chick: Thanks for sharing about how you can see it on you tube! I'm going to you tube right now to check it out! thanks for letting me know! :D

Nice photos! And beautiful horse! :) And there's a Tangled sequel? I've gotta go see that!
I'm going to The Hunger Games on Friday night with my bro, dad, and friends :) I can't wait! It looks like it's gonna be sooo good - and I LOVE the books (2nd favorites only to Lord of the Rings).
Darlin' you are cute. :] 'Nuff said. :D
Awww Knight! He is so dang purty. Aw, and your little friends = cuteness! Don't you love it when kids love you? We have a little boy staying with us because his parents are in Texas for a wedding, and he was sooo proud and excited this morning to help us make pancakes. We told him he was the "head chef." ;) I think his year has been made. ;) haha <3
Oooh nice pictures! :) Looks like you've had a fun-filled week! We went with some friends skiing/snowboarding last night, and it was so much fun--perfect snow...that was pretty much the only exciting thing of the week, though. :P
Much love,
lucia
ps~ i still can't decide whether i am going to see the hunger games or not..i haven't read the books, because my mom isn't too sure about them, but...what did you think? could you tell me? ;)

Now I have to think of something to say to Mr. Knightley on his Facebook page as an excuse to get a reply...he's super, duper cute!
I hoping to go to the Hunger Games in theater...but I don't think I'll be able to because so very few of my friends have read it and neither of parents want to see it. :/ Guess I'll just wait till it comes out on DVD.
I know several people who are really excited about the other dance. Looks like it'll be a lot of fun!
Oh my what a handsome boy!!!!!!!! I am almost drooling over that gorgeous horse :) Yes horses can get me better than guys sometimes...but that can be a good think...horses don't usually break your heart *wink* They are making/made a sequel?!?!?!?!??! *screams* I cannot wait to see it! Unfortunately I probably won't be able to see Hunger Games until it comes out on dvd...:( Unless my dad goes out on a limb and takes me. Awww I love that last picture with you and all those kids ;) I'm sure you are are a good influence...most of them time. Who is perfect all of the time? Sierra
Keep Growing Beautiful♥ (Cause You Are!)
Fun post, Raquel - as always. =)
For anyone else: Ever After is not a full-length movie last I knew. It was a short released before a Disney or Pixar movie in theaters a while back. Wish they'd make a sequel though - it would be such fun. =D
YES excited!! have tickets on opening day, going to see it with a sister and a friend and YES I'M EXCITED! eek! I'm not worried, per se, but I will be mad if they butcher it. just sayin. but I also don't think they will, 'cause with all those trailers and clips that I've seen, it looks pretty faithful. also just sayin ;)
OH MY GOSH!!! That photo of Tater showing off his stuff....... made me laugh SO hard!! Thank you for sharing those with me.... I miss my brothers SO much. And I miss you too. It helps when you post pictures... it doesn't make me feel quite as far from you all.
I love you!!
