dream&believe? That's what we did.

2011-12-12T19:56:00.001-08:00

Okay. I had pictures to go with this post but when i saved it to work on it later. Apparently they didn't save... I am house sitting right now and I don't have the pictures on the computer I am writing on. When I get home and get a minute I will upload them. On to the post.

This school year I started working at Poston Junior High School with the MIMD class. These kids are the special ed class where they only leave for elective courses and most of the time the other aide or I go with them to the elective. I absolutely love it. I couldn't ask for a better job. The kids are so innocent and love everyone. They all have such different personalities and you can't help but love them. Sometime they drive you crazy and you want to kill them all but what kid isn't like that... :))

I knew softball season for intermerals was coming up and I was curious as to if I would be able to coach at Poston. The junior high season is during the second quarter/the last 6 weeks before winter break. I was at the girls soccer game with a co-worker and the team lead/asst. principal showed up. She was talking about how she was looking for coaches for softball and I told her I would love to do it!! So guess who got the job?!?! I did!! I was excited. As much as I loved my Kino kids and my Westwood girls, I was excited that I would be able to coach a team when as soon as we stepped onto the field we could work on situations or anything. I didn't have to start from the beginning, ex: this is how you throw a ball, no your glove goes on this hand etc. Season was on its way. We had a VERY bad start. Our first game we lost 13-3. Ya, we got run-rulled... it was bad. But after that things went better and better... during season our record was 4-1. pretty good right?! Well post-season tourney came. I was super nervous, for a couple reasons. 1-- I had never coached a winning team before and 2-- there was alot of pressure on me that i wasn't used too!!! Our record was one of the better, so we got a buy to the second round. Our first tourney game came and we killed it. The score was 6-2. The best game we had played all season.... Little did I know it was about to get even better. That Saturday was semi-finals and finals. If we won semi we would play a double header to play in the final game. We played Rhodes for semi finals and won 13-1. yup!! They did amazing!!!! (side note:: the other game that would decied who would play in the final game was Smith vs. Shepherd... Smith had a perfect record so we all had a feeling that's who we would be playing... Their game finished before we did so some of the parents and the athletic director went to see who won... Low and behold SHEPHERD won!! I got excited because we had beat them before and so I knew it gave us a good chance on winning. But since they beat Smith I was nervous about how they played...) I talked to my girls about having to play their hardest since Shepherd was obviously having a really good day... The final game went by soooo fast. I didn't even know it was the 6th inning. When the ump told me it was the final inning I told him it wasn't and he did prove me wrong... ha! I didn't tell my girls that it was the 6th inning because I didn't want them to freak out and loose it. As soon as they got the 3rd out and they were running in like every other inning, as soon as they got to me, I said "Ladies guess what, YOU JUST WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!" They freaked out and started hugging and couldn't believe it. It was an amazing day.

As we started tournement I gave them a motto to play by... It was dream&believe. For all 3 tourney games we had it written on our arms. Making sure that it stuck in our head. My girls had a hard time before tourney with believing in themselves, so I knew this would be good for them. And it was. It got us through and made us champions! Best top 5 days EVER!!

Happy Birthday SEESTERRRR!!! :))

2011-02-04T17:23:00.000-08:00

Seester:
Tomorrow is your 7th birthday. This last year we have gotten so close. We've had some amazing times together. Lot's of running away from everyone to us just watching a movie together or coloring. We've had so much fun getting to know eachother. When you're older and reading this I hope you understand how much our relationship means to me. I also hope that our friendship will never die. You know that I will ALWAYS be here for you no matter what you choose or go through in life. You can call me when you are on a bad date and want to come home. I'll come get you. I'll come get you when you're at a party and things are going on you don't want to be around. I can't believe how much you have grown since I've know you and can't wait to watch you grow into the beautiful young woman that you're gonna be. I love you mucho!!!

Here are some pictures that have been taken in the last year.... :))

The year of 2010

2011-01-01T14:51:00.000-08:00

Welp... 2010 is over. It's crazy to think about how fast this year has gone. There have been lots of up's and down's. Lot's people know about, alot that people don't know about. But everything has changed me. Good or bad, it's changed me. I've grown to know certain people better, and grown apart from others, learned that you can't trust everyone and that people aren't always going to be there for you. Even if they know it's when you need them the most. I've learned that you have to stand up for yourself, and not let others decide what you need to do in life, or what your next step will be, who you should and shouldn't hang out with. Because in the end..... it makes you, you. You're the only one that can change who you are. And if you don't want to... you don't have to. Everything in life is based on decisions you make. I know that everyone always tells you that and you grow up with people telling you that. But it never really hits that it's true, until it happens to you personally. Some of you know that the beginning of 2010 didn't start out to hot for me. That I dealt with alot of crap from people I thought I knew better than I really do. It wasn't fun, but it mad me grown up faster than I thought I had to. People I thought would be there for me no matter what choices I made, weren't there for me anymore. They showed their true colors and made me realize that friends and family have to earn their trust from me. Of course things did get better, I coached softball, went to school, and had a TON of new adventures that were worth every minute. Living in Idaho and being away from everything I knew was exactly what I needed. Even though it didn't work out and I didn't get to stay, I loved that I went and experienced something that I needed. Working at Kino, getting to know new people, trying new things, being someone that I want to be has been awesome and I wouldn't change the year of 2010 for anything. I posted some pictures of things that have happened in 2010. I hope that eveyone learned and grew from what has happened in that last year and hopefully 2011 will be just as awesome. Love you all!!!!

These aren't in any certain order.... ha!

my new adventure :))

2010-07-31T13:42:00.000-07:00

Well as all of you know I made a decision to move to Idaho. I was going to be living here for a year and just work to save money so that I can go to ISU and get in-state tuition. I have been here for a month and haven't found a job and can't even go to one of the community college. Basically I'm now coming home. Things haven't worked out and this is where i'm not suppose to be. I will be coming home August 18 and start working basically right away. I'm so excited to be coming home. I'll put some pictures up and show some of the things that I have done while I've been here.

We went to Pikes Market and walked around for a few hours. This is Mediteranian food we had. It's Baklavah (dessert), Tabuli (bulgar wheat salad) and Dolmeh (rice wraped in grape leaves)
Of course we had to go to a Mariners game!!! It was so fun!!
We went out driving around one night and Erins neighbor Allison came along. We had so much fun.... We found this statue and my cousin decided to kiss it... a bit awkward but hilarious!!!

Kissing the boy... It was a statue... makes it even more awkward...

mine and erins turn.... that was GROSS...

We were a little hyper don't judge...

ummm there is nothing to say about this picture...

agian... nothing to say....

The Blue Angels came to visit Idaho Falls. They are the jets that do stunts and such crazy things. Well it was $20-$25 a ticket to get into the field that you could sit and watch... We just climbed up on the roof and watched it from there!! Just as AWESOME!!!

Ummm since i haven't posted in a while!

2009-06-13T13:17:00.000-07:00

I just want to start out with... these pictures are not in order... well they are just backwards. So the first pictures are newest and the last pictures are oldest. So these first pictures are of one of the girls in our group of friends who got married... we have a group of 10-15 girls or so that we are really close and we are all practically sisters....

here is the bride and groom cutting the cake!this is most of the group of girls... some aren't here and there are some added in... like all the little ones that just graduated... haha
This is Shayna Ferguson, Faith Peacock, Alana Spencer and me

Shayna, Alana and me

Me and the Bride, Ashley Maxson Hawkins.

Paige and I. We get axked if we are sisters on a regular basis... we practically are...

Well now that the wedding pictures are over it's time to move onto Girls Camp 2009!

This year was the most amazing year of my life!

I don't think that I have had a better year at girls camp ever! We had so much fun.

I can't even describe the stuff that went on here!

This is a picture of the one and only cooks!!! They keep us alive at camp... with food and water!

This years theme was "Sweet is the Work" in this picture is a golden banner and after the program that had this banner in it, we each got a ribbion with a piece of paper attached to it and wrote our testimony on it. The banner was then attached to a carrier type thing.. i'm not sure how to describe it. Anyways we tyed out testimony ribbion the the carrier and they went on the hike with the girls and then used for bishops night.

Haha. Okay the first day we are up there it is just YCL's and Staff. Me and a couple of the YCL's got a little bored and drew hand people! They were the coolest ever!

This is me and Mady Tolman.... haha. She was a squirell and i was a skunk for skit night.

This Picture is a very special picture. Jasmine Seaman, the one in the yellow jacket.... Her 16th birthday was on Thursday while at camp. So me and Whitney Redford and Hannah Peterson took her on her "FIRST DATE!!!" Don't mock us... she loved it and we had fun!

Okay. the next few pictures happened on skit night. To start off i'm gonna explain why we did our skit. On Monday night before all the little ones came up, our leader (Dawna Hulet) left out the stuff that we were gonna make our candy for the classes we had to teach with. We had skunks all night long. So for our skit we reinacted that night. It was hilarious.

Here is me and Whit after the skit.

Here we are again. Up close with out make-up

Here is the sign that is the backdrop for the stageThis is the first picture we took when we got up there.

This is all the Jr. Staff :) We're legit!

Alrighty. here is a new thing to talk about.... Kinda... This is the bachellorette party we had for Ashley. We had so much fun.... i can't really talk about some of the things that went on... hahahere we are again. there is one thing different about these two pictures... can you see it!

bahaha... this picture has a boy in it! baha! we had some "strippers" crash out party... they were some old friends from High school and they had on like 20 layers of clothes and they ended in their swim suit and tank top... it was funny

New subject yet again.... My Brother and parents went out of town camping for a few days and i was at home with Kaitlyn because she had some stuff that she had to do. One day we went on a little shopping spree and got some new headbands and also did some things for my mom.

Conner got all his hair cut off! I love it now!! Thanks Shayna!!!! Love you!

So again for Ash. She doesn't get embarrassed by anything!!! haha! so me and Paige decided to make her some footy pj's... they were basically the coolest things ever!! I loved them! We even were asked by people at the bridal shower to make them some because they were so cool!!! We're thinking of starting a business.... what do you think?

here is the front of the pj's... they say modest is hottest... if you want to know.. there is velcro on the back for easy rippage.... BAHAHAHA!!! because you all wanted to know that!!!

REBA SEASON 6 COMES OUT JUNE 23,2009!!!!!

2 years tomorrow...

2009-04-06T14:04:00.001-07:00

okay, this is alot harder to write than i thought it was going to be... as i was looking at everyone elses blog i saw that people were celebrating birthdays etc. Mine isn't the most happy thing in the world but we can make it happy. 2 years ago tomorrow, April 7, 2007 my best friend was killed in a car accident. It was the hardest thing i've ever had to go through. I was 16 years old and a junior in high school. most kids don't have to go through this but me and my friends did. Finding out about Loni being killed was the most heart breaking thing that could possibly happen. The one thing that most kids don't expect to hear, they don't ever even imagine getting a phone call to hear that their friend died. Let me tell you.. alot of us have delt with one of the greatest fears we could think of. I never thought i would have to go through something like this. But i did and now its been two years since i've seen my best friend. We were suppose to graduate together, instead she was on the other side watching me. Walking to class knowing that i wouldn't see her when i was used to was hard. between 5th and 6th hour we would stand and talk till the very last second possible. that didn't happen anymore.. that would never happen again. everyday i was reminded i wouldn't see her for a long time. I miss her like crazy. I want her here with me. we were suppose to grow old together and never loose touch. I love Loni with all my heart and I can't believe its been two years.......

R.I.P Loni Ann Fuller. I love you. this is me and Loni sophomore year in Mr. Impson's class.. we went through alot of crazy stuff that year :)

The Haunting in Connecticut!

2009-03-27T02:31:00.000-07:00

Awkward moments of Alana and Kirsi in one night!

2008-10-11T22:59:00.000-07:00

#1-stopped at a stop sign and a car of guys slams on their brakes in the lane next to us and the kid in the back seat flies forward and then they stare at for the whole red light!!!

#2-Alex was bitting and licking Alanas arm so.... I, Kirsi, Pulled his arm hairs to get him off! haha!!

#3-We were on our way to Alexs house... we decided to take the long way.... and there was a teenage couple, with the guy considerably larger than the girl, the girl then tries to get a piggy back and slides down his backside all the way down to the ground.....

#4- Josh had to put the goat away and Alex was holding the dog... the goat wasn't moving... so Me and Alana got stuck holding this random dog that smelled like poop while the boys tried to push this stubborn goat across the back yard to its pin

#5- Alana decided to spray some Purfume on Austin (it was good smelling kind) so she ran up to him and sprayed it on his back... when he realized what we did he took his shirt off.... wow that was sonmething we didn't have to see!

#6- Ben and Austin were "dancing" and Austin had put his arms around Bens waist and lifted him up and Ben started kicking around as their "dance" ( Ben was facing out away from Austin) haha just thought i would clear that up

#7- We walked into Alexs house and sitting in a chair was his ex-girlfriend, who will remain nameless, we all went outside to hang out because the weather is BEAUTIFUL! and then we realize Alex was gone... he had to leave his friends at home and take his ex home who lives in gilbert... talk about kinda rude on her part.

#8- On the way home me and Alana were on Country Club waitin to turn onto University and then this car of GEEKY looking guys... they are starring at us until we look over at them... then all of a sudden.... they pull out the BIGGEST cigars we have ever seen!! We were laughing so hard!

That is just the good awkward moments to talk about that happened tonight.. there were more but these are the best!!!!

I AM SSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-10-09T22:50:00.000-07:00

okay... I am so excited! I don't know if i am taking this to far but... a few weeks ago I was just looking around on you tube because i was bored and came across a video named "kirsi" so i decided to watch it and it was a slide show of a little girl named Kirsi Anne.... spelled the same way and everything... I emailed them saying that was my name and wondered where they got it from... here is what they said!!!!

Re: Name: kirsi anne
Hello! That is crazy! My father's parents moved here from Finland in the 50's and both died shortly before my daughters were born. I gave them both Finnish names in honor of them. My other daughter's name is Aili. While I didn't choose the specific names because of family members, it turns out that my grandfather's sister's name was Aili, and my aunt's middle name is Kirsi. The Anne is because my mother-in-law and her mother-in-law (my husband's grandmother) both have the middle name Ann. I wanted it a little different, so I added the e. Thank you for sharing that you have the same name. Can I ask where you live? We are in Washington State.

Isn't this AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Idon't think i have ever been more excited in my life!!! How CRAZY!!!!

Sorry but i just can't contain it and i had to tell everyone!

R.I.P Grandpa Griner

2008-09-24T16:04:00.000-07:00

R.I.P Grandpa Griner... Today at 3:20 he passed. His last 5 months have been super hard for him, always in pain and taking life a minute at a time. He lived a wonderful life and taught us all a ton. I feel like since I started to spend time over there to help take care of him it has made me grow a TON!! It has taught me that life isn't fair and goes the way you want. I know people always say that and that you hear it all growing up but he is the one that made it reality. He was an amazing person and I have absolutely loved getting to know hom and hearing all of his stories.

Grandpa,

Thank you for all you have done here in this life and all you have done for me. All of the stories and life lessons you taught me will stay with me forever. You are one amazing guy and everyone that has ever met you will have something that they took away from you. I am so happy you are with Grandma now and your wish has come true. Have fun with her

Love Kirsi

ATHLETES!!!

2008-09-03T14:54:00.000-07:00

People don't play sports because its fun. Ask any athlete, most of them hate it, but they couldn't imagine their life with out it. Its part of them, the love/hate relationship. its what they live for. They live for the practices, parties, cheers, long bus rides, invitationals, countless pairs of different types of shoes, water, Gatorade, & coaches you hate but appreciate. They live for the way it feels when they beat the other team, and knowing those two extra sprints they ran in practice were worth it. They live for the way they become a family with their team, they live for the countless songs they sing in their head while training all those hours. They live for the competition, they live for the friends, the practices, the memories, the pain, its who they are. It's who we are. WE ARE ATHLETES...

What happens when you're with friends :P

2008-08-25T09:34:00.000-07:00

so this is what happens when friends get together and so bowling. We are all very hyper and after bowling we had to get some kids from a stake dance and we were dancing to music in the car and we got a city bus driver and then a dad to dance with us... it was AMAZING. Alana and I are to short to be in the back so we had to compromise
Me and Paige... gotta love this girl
Ummm... you can't really say anything about this picture
Paige, Alana, Me, and Mandy.... the best of friends
Paige had taken a picture earlier and she looked like a gopher or whatever you want to call this.. so we decided to take a picture like her cuz she is so.... cool..... just kidding i love her

Alana and i have fun taking pictures all the time... we're pretty much pros
See i told ya....
Austin wasn't ready foe this picture but it never matters because

they look funny half the time anyways
Me, Austin and Mandy
this is one of the favorites that we took. it turned out to be a perfect star

USA softball...

2008-08-21T14:37:00.000-07:00

We lost to japan... :( 3-1. Our girls did a great job but, last night was not their night. but this just proves that the US doesn't dominate in softball and shows everyone softball shouldn't be taken out of the olympics. We didn't preform at the plate like we should have and we were careless on plays that should have been easy. i guess that just says that you have to always be on your game. :(

Few more camp pictures

2008-08-20T18:40:00.000-07:00

Girls Night

2008-08-18T09:49:00.000-07:00

okay so this is some of the stuff that happens when me and my friends get together.. We never have a dull moment. i love all of these girls to death. we do these kinds of things at least once a month just to keep in touch and make sure life is good for all of us... and when its not these nights make it all better.

girls camp

2008-08-17T11:27:00.000-07:00

here are some pictures from girls camp this was one night that we will never forget... it was wednesday night i think but we were just hit with the slap happiness stuff.... Me paige and courtney were CRAZY and i think that is all i can say... there are more pictures to come when i get them. alot of these pictures are just being funny but some of them needs explanations so they are under the picture

this was me and court laughing cuz we had pushed the 4 beds we had on our side together and were messing around... then paige fell in between the beds and it scared her so bad she ended up looking like a dead bug upside down
Court had scratched her nose while we were talking a picture and didn't realize that we were so me and paige decided for the next picture to make fun of her

this was us being squidward from spongebob.....

okay so as i said this summer i went to oklahoma... in the picture...this is one of the most amazing outfielders of all time!!! i got her autograph and she is now in Beijing defending our gold medal... everyone get onto nbcolympics.com and go to the softball section and vote on softball coming back for the 2016 olympics cuz in the next olympics softball isn't going to be in it what a sad day :(. these ladies work their but off some being moms and obviously being CRAZY good softball players. they deserve a spot in the olympics and this goes for all the other countries too.

2008-08-06T09:16:00.000-07:00

Well I finally started a blog a while back but never did anything with it so i decided to get back on an actually start it. This summer I went to oklahoma and watched the college world series for softball. ASU won the championship!! GO DEVILS. Then went to girls camp and that is all my vacationing for the summer. My computer broke so when i get a trustworthy computer that will stay for a while I will add pictures. (I am on a temperary computer:( so hopefully soon we will get one)
