Trunk or Treat!

Monday night my church did an event called "Trunk or Treat." Usually on Monday nights they do something for the kids called "AWANA" clubs, and every year do an "AWANA FAIR." (Basically a bunch of booths set up in the gym and the kiddies go from booth to booth, play the activity at the booth and get candy.

But this year we did "Trunk or Treat." What it was is this: A bunch of people park their vehicles in a BIG circle with the trunks facing in. Each person decorates their trunk with a "theme" and then the kids get dressed up and come around from trunk to trunk getting candy.

I was one of the trunks. Try and take a wild guess at what theme mine was. haha SKATEBOARDING!! Oh yeah! I had my ramps set up in front of my trunk, and graffiti (done by yours truly) on everything.

IT

WAS

THE

BOMB!!

I also had a TV hooked up to a infra-red camera so the little kiddies could see themselves on the TV. It was pretty fun. And then with a press of a button... SKATE VIDEOS! (Of course)




We had some cutouts from skateboard magazines taped up in the extra space. Altho there wasn't much left over space. I had my broken skateboards EVERYWHERE. There's a total of 13 skateboards in this picture... see if you can spot them. hahaha

Fright Night 2009


Yesterday I went to an event hosted by Circle "C" Ranch... called "Fright Night." It was SO much fun, hanging out with my best friends, as well as seeing some people I haven't seen in a long time.



We went through the walk-through-asylum thing they had. That was so much fun, we were just messing with the creepy people and trying to get them to crack up the whole time. I told the one crazy girl that grabbed my shoulder to call me and she cracked up.



Me and my friends played four-square for hours! I haven't played that game in SO long so it was blast! Kaleb and I were reminiscing the old days when we were little kids and four-square was like food... it was the bomb. haha



At the end of the night everyone went up to the chapel and did activities, they gave out prizes and all that great stuff. They did a skit called "Bright Eyes" it was basically a similar plot to the skit our group did for Teen Power Up called "Everything" and had a strong salvation message. Then Wayne Aarum came up and explained the skit and the free gift of salvation. And did an altar call. Something like 2o kids went foward and said they had prayed and accepted Jesus Christ as their savior that night! Praise GOD!!

Have you made that decision? Don't wait. Because time doesn't wait.

STAY EXTREME,

SNOW!!



Last Thursday it snowed for the first time this season! I was so pumped. I ran and got my camera and started shooting photos everywhere, and yes, made a mini snowman-dude.

It didn't stick much that afternoon. However it continued to snow all night, so on Friday morning I woke up to find everything covered in the white fluffy goodness.



It's all gone now, but for the better I guess. I have to take my road test in under two weeks and would like to not have snow to mess me up.

All my friends all think I'm crazy because of my love for snow. All except the ones that snowboard or ski that is! This time of year is so hard sometimes because the off-and-on snow makes everything in me itch to snowboard.

So this is the call to all you EXTREME winter sports lovers out there: Get out the boards, skis, coats and goggles! Gear up, strap in, and feel the excitement! Smell it in the air, see it in the trees. Winter is coming!

KEEPIN IT EXTREME,

"Come home"

Hey guys, here's a song I wrote last week.

Verse 1:
You cry all night when you get home,
You say you're fine, but feel so alone,

You've got questions you've got pain,
You think I'm perfect, but were the same,

God is calling:

Chorus:
Come on home! Come on home! come home and lose your fears,
I died for you, so you could live, let me wipe away your tears,
I chose you, now its time, for you to choose me,
AND BE FREE

Verse 2:
We've all got problems of our own,
We're all broken, you're not alone,

There is a God who's felt all you feel,
And through it all, His love is real,

And He is calling:

(chorus)

Florence Skate Park!

If you read my last post about my trip to the Creation Museum, I left out one little part. (Personally it might even be my favorite part of the trip)

By random chance, (I'd say God's love to me) we got somewhat lost on the way to our hotel the very first night and ended up driving right by this HUGE skatepark that we probably wouldn't have seen otherwise. AND being me, of course I had my skateboard with me.

It rained all week while we were there, and it being an outdoor park, I didn't have any opportunities to ride it until Friday night, our last night there. God let it stop raining long enough for the park to dry just enough to skate.

Erik (my brother) and I went to the skatepark for several hours and him being a photographer, we got some good shots and some footage. I finished editing the good shots and thats what these are. As for the footage, I'm giving the clips to LUKE MYERS this sunday for him to work some magic on. haha :)

I could have stayed there all week. It was such a cool blessing that God gave specifically to me, and I think thats pretty Extreme! Well, enjoy.

KEEPIN IT EXTREME,
