cabin!

December 31, 2008 at 5:31 pm (Uncategorized)

hey guys.. next monday my fam is going to our cabin in north carolina!!!! we go there every year for christmas or new years. I CAN’T WAIT!!! it right off of lake keowee. Last year they had a raft there and charlene and anna and i went out in the lake with it. i really hope it’s there this year. The sad thing about going this time is that Thomas isn’t going to be with us.. he flew to michigan last saturday and he is coming back the saturday when we are coming back.. i think.

Anyways, before Thomas went to michigan they had tons of snow but the day he flew it all melted. so he was pretty ticked. well, Zach (Jillian’ bro) has facebook and james was chatting him and james tols him to tell thomas hi. But Zach told james that he was still sleeping. but last night they had a snow storm thing. and now they have 5 in. of snow!!!! Thomas is going to be so happy!!! yeah! I already miss thomas though.. : (

 

Anyhoo… Christmas! it was awesome. I got up at 6:30 and everybody was asleep so I read a whole book. ten like at 10:00 I went and saw that mom was up so I could go get everybody else up. the oys were still sleeping and we have this little thing that plays we wish you a merry christmas and deck the halls. well I went into there room and woke them up by it… andrew just started singing along with it but james and thomas were about to kill me! well I got andrew and james up but thoas wouldn’t come.. so we kept on bugging him and finally he came in the living room with a blanket and laid on the couch! lol! I got tons of presents… gift cards, clothes, books, candy, jewlery and tons of other stuff!

Every year my aunt and uncle have christmas for us and give us tons of presents. well this year we are having it on new years (tomorrow)! I can so totally not wait!  well I got to go! happy new years eve!!!!!

Thanksgiving and the Lighting Ceremony

December 8, 2008 at 8:54 pm (Uncategorized)

For Thanksgiving we stayed home and had two of Charlene’s Friends from BJ over, because they couldn’t go home. We had so much fun. We played tons of games, ate WAY to much, and laughed a lot. Before we took them back to BJ we went to this “look out” on Paris Mountain. Andrew took a lot of pictures while were freezing. :D We were playing clue and one of the girls Elena started talking about the olympics and gymnastics. And i was like do you like Shawn Johnson, and she was like OH MY WORD SHE IS AMAZING!!! lol! so we were like talking about her and i showed her my little book thing i got at there tour. Anyways Elena is the same hight as Shawn and she used to do Gymnastics and she like competed a lot too!!! isn’t that awesome. Elena’s mom is like jewish or something like that. It’s so cool. Elena is the only kid in her family too so she was like amazing at how much noise there was. :D yeah, it was really fun. Charlene, Anna, and I are going to artist series with Elena too! Elena has a boyfriend but he is in the navy. 

Last Friday was the Lighting Ceremony at BJ. I was with Abi for the first part then like in the middle of the singing thing Andrew C. came up with us. Anyways… Abi had to leave right after the Ceremony so we talked to a few people (anna, Staci, Patrick. etc.). So I was walking Abi back… ALONE… and we were talking and I heard something behind me and turned around and Andrew was following us! he had been listening to everything we had said. That’s when Abi was like I am so going to kick your face in! lol! we got to the car and Mr. and Mrs. Willis weren’t there yet… so we talked and chilled. :D Anyways… after that I found Em and Heidi so we went to se the manger… which is weird!!!  then we went to cupa jones. and I bought em and Heidi coffee… then Heidi’s friend from China, Tom, came in. and took pics with Heidi… HAHAHAH!!! lol! and Heidi was flipping. :D Don’t try to understand… you had to have been there. So.. we went to a bench and talked and then em wanted more cream for her coffee sunday so she got like TEN things! lol! then we walked back to the student center and got our names written my SANTA!!! it’s really cool though. he did it like really fancy! AWESOME! then we chilled till they had to go. Then I went up to the DP and played a game with Anna, Audra, Abby, Sam, and Andrew, then we left.  it was an awesome day. I was really tired though cuz the night before I went to bed at 2:00 and got up at 6:30! it was horrible.

Anyways this Friday I am going Ice Skating with Abi!!! yeah! I can’t wait. it’s for her Birthday. I am horrible at Ice Skating though… this is abi first time though… so I won’t be the only one that stinks! :D well I got to go!

The Race! YEAH!!!

November 22, 2008 at 7:29 pm (Uncategorized)

This morning we got up at 7:15 and the kids ate peanut butter on bread (cuz it’s like energy or something). Andrew had a cold, James’ knee was hurting, and Anna had a cold too! So I wasn’t expecting them to do like amazingly good. Anyway we called the time and weather and it said 16 degrees and they were like stink! not good running weather. We got to BJ picked up the packets, talk, and just walked around. The People that ran it were Anna, Andrew, James, Ben, Lucas, Aaron, Paul (my cuz), Deborah, Joel, Sarah Arnold, Daniel, Tim Ludlum. and a lot of other ppl we know. Andrew’s PR was 19.08, James was 18.35, and Anna’s was 27.08. The race started and Mommy, Mrs. D, Mrs. Walker, and I walked around and took picture of the runners and screamed at them! lol! Mommy is embarrassing when she sees James or Andrew or Anna. she is like oohhh that’s anna…. GOOOO ANNA!!! lol! :D anyways… it seemed like a really fast race. James can in fourth other all. and ran a 17.40. Andrew got 9th over all and did 18.35. and Anna took a whole minute off of her PR. No one was expecting it. it was awesome. Ben did really well too. he got like 21.30 and he beat all the girls! YEAH!!! GO BEN! lol! :D James got first in age group, Andrew got third, and Anna got first in her age group, Deborah got second to anna, and this other girl that we know got fourth in the age group! I was so amazed, and proud. anyways.. I posted. and I need to go clean because I think Jillian’s (Thomas’ Girlfriend) Family is coming over monday… I think, and I need to go shopping.  HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

 

PS Abs I saw Krista… but I didn’t say anything..

I AM EXCITED!!! so Tori and Mrs. Wiginton came and picked me up at 4:30 (it started at 5:00). It was an awesome day.. it was breezy and cold, really cold!!!! it was awesome! lol! we got in and we were like wow is that where we are really sitting??? we were 20 feet away from the people and there was nothing in between us! we were like OH MY WORD!!! AHHHH!!! so tori and I were bored so we went out before it started and look to see if we could buy like there little book(i still have it, I love it!!!! <3) about all the people performing it said like what they had won and had pics and stuff like that! then the thing started and it was amazing! the hamm twins did a little floor thing together! awww! lol! then the whole 2008 olympics guys team did something and so did the girls! And Jonathan did a floor thing too! I LOVE HIM!!!! he is so awesome and amazing! WOW!!!! so good! lol! :D <3 anyways… there was a lot more stuff.. but it was a long time ago and I don’t remember some stuff and I can’t describe the rest. All I can say is that it was amazing! totally! I was amazed. After the thing someone told us that they would be signing stuff but when we asked someone like in charge they were like UM… NO the only person signing is the singers and we were like okay we are fine then! :D after we left Mrs. Wiginton was so hungry so we went to the Little Caesars drive through. So Tori was like “mom, tell her we just saw shawn johnson” and her mom was like she isn’t going to know who that is and tori and i were like well lets just tell her and we told the girl and she was like cool… um.. who are they? lol! and Mrs. Wiginton was like I TOLD YOU!!!!! and tori and I just sat there like what??? how can you not know! lol! so that was a awesome night! lol! :D

 

Then on the 21st our grade had the field trip. We went to BMW! anyways you have heard most of what happened on bloghangout by abi, but anyways.. it was so cool and fun! I was in between Nathan Fordam and Lydia Keck. We had these Huge glasses on and this headphone thing so that we could hear the guide. THe only problem was you couldn’t hear anybody else if you had both ears in.. so I took on ear out so that nathan and lydia and I could talk :D ! lol! anyways.. the BMW was cool.. after that we went to Homes Park and played around on the playground tossed the ball around… or tried! :D then we played Knock out and Abi did really well! she is good at Basketball! anyways that was an awesome day too! YEAH!!!!! I love… BMW.. :D (get it abi and em?)

 

Anyhoo… :D the 24thi went to Heidi’s house because the night  we (Abi, Em, G, Ally, Kendrea, Tori, and Heidi) went to Lydia K. house and had a costume party!  I was a pirate, Abi was Deb from Napoleon dynamite, Em was a 80′s brides maid, G was a cheerleader, Ally was a bad of jelly beans, Kendrea was Dorothy, Tori was Watson, Heidi was a cat, and Lydia was sherlock homes. Anyways at Heidi’s house we watched a really sad movie (the corpse bride) and looked at youtube videos and went to rainbow’s facebook and looked at her pics! and commented on like all of them! then we like got ready and left!  when we got here was just played some games and had a great time then we watched the twilight zone.. we turned off all the lights and we were all like freaking out! lol! it was a really freaky(ish) movie. it was like… ahhh.. I can’t explain it! but there was this one freaky part and ally knew it was there so when it happened she like grabbed all of us and we were like screaming for like 4 minutes! lol! then Lydia made us go out side and we played another game that’s really hard to explain. Then we played more games and sardines (wait.. is that the right name?) anyways.. this is how it went we had all the light off and one person was hiding and we all had to find them and you tried to find them first how ever did got to hide the next time! it was so fun! lol! that was it.. a blast! lol! (BTW em your shoulder is yummy.. :D  don’t ask everyone else, trust me you don’t want to know)

 

then this tuesday the Five browns were in Greenville and they were having a concert at The Peace Center at 7:30. But before that they had a practice that ppl could come to so we heard them and stuff! it was cool.. in fact I really wanted to go back to the concert and so I asked mom and she was like sure so anna, charlene, mom and I went back to the concert! it was so cool! it was the best for piano’s I have heard :D afterwards they were signing stuff so… Anna, Charlene, and I got them to sign stuff for us! it was awesome! and so fun! BTW the five browns are piano players… they play 5 pianos at once.. it’s so cool! but it was so funny there were tons of ppl from bj there! it was like an artist series! lol!

Charleston, SC

October 1, 2008 at 9:17 pm (Uncategorized)

Hey guys!

   Most of y’all know…. I went to Charleston for the weekend. I was a total BLAST! We wen there cuz Anna, Andrew, and James had a race on Saturday.. and to see my cousin Brian!) On Friday at like 8:15 we left Greenville and headed to Charleston. We got there (Days Inn Hotel.. it’s like 5 min away from Brian) at 11:49, and we chilled at the hotel and watched TV and called Brian to see if we could do anything.. so for lunch we went to Panera Bread… with Brian of course, and then we went shopping at the tanger outlets! it’s awesome! they have everything there to The Sunglass Hut to The Brooks Brothers (it’s true!). Anna and I went around to all these places… rue 21, Sunglass hut, Anne Taylor, Liz Claiborne, Clairs  … etc. Anna wanted to get something for Anna D and Anna is very indecisive… so it took forever! she ended up buying her something at the last min. :D At Clairs I got these really cute earrings… (the ones I wore Sunday) I love them! and that’s all I got for me.. we got some Kitchen stuff for mom.. lol! it was Charleston kitchen stuff though! you can’t get that anywhere you know! :D Andrew got tons of new stuff… it was so funny. Brian had Andrew trying on all these different outfits! Brian is SUCH a shopper. It’s so funny! lol! Then mom wasn’t feeling to good so she went home ( to the hotel) to sleep and Brian was going to bring us to the hotel in a hour, cuz we wanted to go down to folly beach that night to pick up the packets). So… Anna and i went to the Fudgery… and got a sample of fudge and one ice cream cup.. vanilla with M&Ms and Waffle cones. Anyways… Anna and I wanted to get a pic of us with our ice cream and we wanted to be together so we had to ask someone…  and we were like I don’t think we should ask them… they didn’t smile! lol! etc.. it was so funny.. then we were waiting for these Black People to pass us so we could ask them but they were taking forever… and then they started to go the other way… we were like WAIT!!!! we have been waiting for you… jk! but then this really cool black lady came.. and we were like DEF her!!! so she took the picture… I think I have it down below.. it’s the one of anna and I with ice cream! DUH! She was so sweet though! then after that Brian came and he took us to the hotel in his jeep! I love his jeep! it’s red!!! YEAH!! Anyways.. we all got into the car and went to folly beach! I love the beach! especially folly!!!! it was gorgeous, as you can tell from the pictures. I love the feel of sand on my feet! it’s wonderful! anyways… we saw this pier and we were like lets go see if we can get on it… and we could… it was like part of this restaurant thing.. but the pier was public. it was such a long pier… wow! we got to the end and Andrew and James were taking tons of pictures! I mean tons! ever second!  we stayed out there forever… well… the boys wanted to go to bed early cuz they wanted to be rested for the race. So……. on the way home we got lost and mom had to ask for directions…. and I got a super bad headache! It was horrible! then we got to teh hotel and watched the presidential debate and then slept… well… most of us did… mom didn’t have a bed.. they were going to bring one up but they never did so mom didn’t have a bed… POOR MOM!!! and she was feeling bad too….. Stupid Hotel! :D

 

Anyways.. the next morning we got up at 5:20 and got ready and I washed my hair.. and then we left. the reason we left early was cuz a lady in Charleston told us we would have to cuz the traffic would be bad.. but there was NO traffic! It was perfectly clear! so we go there at 6:45 and the race started at 8:00… so we were a little bite early… but hey.. early is better then late especially for a race ;D Mom and I went out to the pier and the kids ran a little bite to warm up and just chilled! then the race…… well let me tell you what everybody’s goals were James and Andrews… to break a 19. Anna’s to break 28. so… they started out.. Andrew and James in the front and Anna in the middle… the funny thing about this race is they forgot to start the big clock… but mom and I made sure they got it right… lol! :D well… I was so worried cuz I didn’t think the boys would break 19… but then I saw James come around the corner!!! IN FIRST PLACE!!!! OH MY WORD!!!! Mom kept on yelling he’s mine! he’s mine! and I was screaming Go james…. everybody around us was like… WOW… they have special needs! lol! James got a 18.30… Andrew (sadly) got an 19.03, and Anna got a 27.04.. she broke it by a minute! yeah! Andrew was so disappointed… but.. who knows the clock might have been 4 seconds off. lol! it was over all amazing! James got first over all, Andrew got first in his age group, Anna got 2nd in her Age group! she was so surprised! lol! it was so funny.. she was like ME????? lol! it was great! After the Race on the pier they had this meal for the runners! it was shrimp, pasta, and oranges! anyways… we headed back to the hotel to pack up and take showers… then we had lunch with brian and his parents. we went to Vickerys seafood! I thought I didn’t like seafood but… Brian made me taste it… I love seafood! it’s amazingly good! scallops are the best though! he made anna and I taste like scallops, calamari, and something else… I can’t remember.. but it was all very good! brian makes me like food! it’s so funny! Andrew was lek how come you won’t taste food I want you to? lol :D Then Brian and us went down town to this awesome park.. ( where the pineapple fountain was) it was amazing. there was this one thing that if you were on it  and you talked really loud only you could hear the echo… it was awesome! it scared me to badly.. cuz brian just told us what to do… not what to expect! lol! he is so funny… then Andrew caught a Little crabb ( love you em :D )…. it was so cute.. Then we walked down to the battery.. andrew got down on a little piece of sand and there was this dead fish that was like chewed on… it was gross!  Andrew ( being the kind brother he is) got me a few shells from the battery. I still have them! anyways… the house in charleston are amazingly beautiful! I love them! they were amazing! by the battery was this like park.. and it had all these cannons.. (the one in the pics) and like this gazebo. it was awesome! it’s like really old too!  Then sadly.. it was time to go.. it was so sad… we had to drop brian off then we were off.. I was so sad! brian’s awesome! the best cousin in the world! TRUST ME! well.. I posted about Charleston… there are more stories.. I just don’t have time… lol! well I got to go get ready for church! 

          (no not en JOY.. en BERTHA! hahahah! sorry… don’t try to understand unless you are em and abs)

Running is awesome!!!

April 23, 2008 at 1:29 pm (Andrew, Anthony, James, Running)

As some of you guys know last saturday my brother and Anthony Giampapa had a race in roebuck, South Carolina. it took us 50 minutes to get there from our house. I was the one helping mom with the map thingy! we got there at 8:00 it started and 9:00. so the boys went and got there packets and then just kinda walked around, but mommy and I stayed in the car and slept! I was so tired! I got up at 6:00. as most of you know it was raining the whole day but like 15 minutes e the race it stopped and stayed wonderful for the rest of the race! it was so nice! the rain wash away the pollen in the air so it was easier to breath! YEAH!  Andrew was so determined to beat Anthony and James! everybody at his work wanted him to win and they were like giving him advice and all this stuff so Andrew had a lot of pressure! the night before he was SO nervous! it was so funny!  okay now to the race….. the race course is this loop twice (and it was REALLY hilly!) so the first lap we saw andrew and he was ahead of Anthony and James and mom and I were like he CAN’T keep that up! this is horrible! and then the last time I saw James and Anthony and didn’t see Andrew and I was like AHHH!!! he got tired he is going to be like last place! I was so worried. Then I looked in front of Anthony and James and there was Andrew!!!! I totally missed him! but he could see the finish line and I was like screaming ANDREW SPRINT!!! cuz Anthony was gaining speed! then Andrew crossed the finish line AHEAD of Anthony and James! YEAH!! Andrew got third over all, James 5th, Anthony 6th. so that meant that Anthony got first in his age group(15-19), James first in his (birth-14) and Andrew third over all. technically Anthony got third in his age group cuz the second and third over all were in his age group but they got the big awards it’s not like they were going to give them both trophies! but yeah that is how the race was! it was wonderful! Anthony was kinda mad though cuz he wanted to beat Andrew cuz everybody at his work didn’t want him to win they wanted Andrew to win!!  so that why it was so hard for him!

 

okay this is just something funny I thought I should tell you guys! 

James started running and he influenced Andrew to run. Andrew got Anna and I running. Em and Abs have been influenced by me to run. and Em has influenced Becca to run! isn’t that great! hopefully it will keep on going! I told james that he is changing the world for the better! heheh! oh well! I think this is long enough! I hope you don’t get bored reading about the boy’s races! see ya later!

once again.. I have great runners in my family!

March 24, 2008 at 3:50 pm (Andrew, James, Running)

sorry I haven’t posted in such a long time! a lot of thing have happened… the play, another race, field trip ect… this post is going to only be about the race though because you have heard about the play and field trip on bloghangout. So…. like two Saturdays ago my brothers and Anthony Giampapa went to a race at Furman University. it was a 5k (3.1 miles). Anthony had never run a 5k only 10k (6 miles or something like that). so Anthony was not expecting to be placed or even to break a 20. Andrew had also just started running so he didn’t think he would do well. James was confident though! yeah! we ( mom and I) walked to place where we could see them along the path way and on the way there we saw James 5th over all and  ahead of Anthony and Andrew! James is a great runner! his form is amazing (no comment about Andrew’s form. JK! Andrew is just determined that’s why he did so good (but I must not get ahead of myself (hehe) :-) )!! so at the end we all knew that James was going to be first in his category and 5th in all! yeah! anthony got 6th and Andrew got 7th! yeah well I got to go!
