The Last Day of '08

Oh my gosh! 2008 is over! Lucky for me, I saved some archives of the last day of the year! I had a very exciting day. I went to the doctor to have blood and urine tests and get a cancer vaccine! Woot Woot! Ouch, I forgot to take pictures of that... Well, all you need to know is that it was not fun. Then, Liz and I got haircuts! Mine is super ultra cute! Mainly because Liz straightened it for me :) I got 2 inches taken off :0 After that, we came home to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa Searles and go to Wal*Mart. Now it's time to PARTY! Oo oo! It's a church party. We get to hear President Monson speak (check out lds.org or mormon.org if you don't know who that is), then we watch the peach drop (?) (I guess it's a Georgia thing).

ABOVE: My foot. It's awesome, just admit it.

ABOVE: My haircut after Liz styled it for me.

ABOVE: Shopping at Wal*Mart with the family. L-R: Grandma, Liz (with haircut), and Cody.

ABOVE: Playing yahtzee at our "party". Yeah... It wasn't all I expected it to be. L-R: Janna(Kayla's friend), Mikayla, Cody, and Dad, who you can tell is winning

Before yahtzee, we watched the program A Brand New Year

Fun with coke, mentos, and the Noldens

The other Noldens came up to visit us for the after-holidays! During the time they shared with us, PJ decided to perform the famous "coke and mentos" project again. For Christmas he got a new gadget to use for this experiment. It went MUCH higher this time than the first time he did it.
