Ok, so Friday was not so eventful. Other than everyone in the house was up around eightish...ish...ish. Lol. And then started cleaning.... and cleaned.. and packed and cleaned and packed. That was pretty much all we did all the way up until 10 something that night! (well... with a few breaks here and there). Then Saturday, we got up to the smell of my mom cooking and baking. I told Nicole it smelled like Thanksgiving in my house! We ended up having some close family friends over, the Jones family, the Sablan family, the Davis family and the Lee Jr family (lol Tiffany Randy and babies). The food was wonderful and the fellowship marvelous! Lol when Tiff got there I stole her newest addition, Ryan, he is SUCH a doll! And then took Baby Randy for awhile. It was so funny watching him crawl all over the place, and then go up to the dogs and get scared and try to get away as fast as he could! It was fun!
Well they were all gone by about 5:30, and Bekki had told me that we wanted to meet at 6:30 because we wanted to see..... fireworks! So, Bekki, Tasha, Laura, Brittany, Jennifer, Maria, Jonathan, Jason, Julian, Jimi, Johnny, and of course little ol me went to the Colton high school to go view the fireworks. Now in our area, you normally get to fireworks early to get a spot and bring something to entertain you, well Bekki was so cool and brought some games. We played pit for awhile, and then played Liar. It was fun! And then at 9 pm the 30 minute show started. Well... I had an issue after it finished, so I quickly walked to my car, like the lady I was talking about how beautiful the night was, and ever so slowly made my way to to the nearest facilities. I parked ever so wonderfully and slowly made my way inside Starbucks Afterward Bekki, Laura, Brittany, Tasha, Jonathan, Jennifer and I sat around enjoying each others company and conversations lol.
Then Sunday morning started revival with my uncle Bro. Martyn Ballestero, what I thought was really neat was that Adam Pierce's (our Sunday School college class leader) message just tied in so well with the worship service message that my uncle preached! It was so awesome! They both touched on wanting Jesus, His Word and all that comes with it more than anything. Then Sunday night my uncle preached another awesome service, and afterwards we went to the Booker's house where chaos already reigned lol. The grandkids were running around and when I walked in the door I was a little surprised by the bodies flying toward me lol! But we had wonderful food and a great time there as well with my cousins, the Berriers and all the Bookers (minus Joel and Erica).
I will post pictures as soon as I can get to my camera!

Riiiigghhhhhtttt. That's exactly how the end of the fireworks show went. That's why I had to wait at my car for like 5 minutes waiting for the girls we left in the dust.
LOL!!! I felt like the roadrunner leaving Wil-E-Coyote in his dust as he made his get away! Lol... I felt like yelling "MOVE PEOPLE!!!!" to everyone blocking my exit
Believe me. It was like Moses parting the waters.
LOL! When I told Nicole it was bad, she said how bad? and I said... really bad, really really bad. Oh it was bad hahah
LOL. I told you we should have walked over to the fast food places....But I won't say...I TOLD YOU SO...OOPS did that really just slip from my lips...er...fingers?
Hahaha but I didn't want to miss the excitement of the.... 30 minute show! LOL We woulda got back as it was over! Hahah... BLAH
lol. That is true. But you would have avoided the discomfort...LOL jk.
Lol, sometimes I am just not so smart! Ok... I said it! LOL happy? lol jk
Oh whatever. LOL my point was that your point was valid. We would have missed part of the show. LOL
Hahah well I totally missed your point hahah I didn't really read the first part heheh... oops
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I think it's due to the many, many comments we are leaving...on three blogs. I think I am getting confused, because I am plurking too.
lol! Plurking is a new one! What does it mean
It's an online social journal...I will send you an invite so you can check it out.
All those different networks!!!! LOL!! There are too many!
Precisely!! There should be a network that combines all of the social network accounts so you can check all of them at once.
That is the best idea I have heard today!!! The worst one was to get up! LOL!!!
Yeah. When Falling Up started singing to me from my phone to wake up...I hit snooze three times. I am headed to Starbucks for coffee in less than 15 minutes. LOL (When I get off work)
LOL Something has got to give for me. I have gotten into the habit of turning my alarms totally off instead of hitting snooze! NOT good!!! Any advice on how to stop????
Set like three of them in various places through out your room. It works for a while. lol.
Just might work!
thank you for that definition dear, it confirms my accusation.
Yes, it is very concise. Unlike mine.
LOL yours is quite concise "Bek" lol! I believe in letting go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right Sarah???
I like your definition too bekki!lol and yes I'm your amen corner erica!
LOL. That's why they call me the bish....nevermind. LOL
HAHAHAHA amen Bekki!!! Hahaha at least yours wasn't a Richard Noggin moment! Thank you Sarah! I have a fan
OMW. I am laughing so hard at work. It's a good thing there is no one in my office. Yes I would like the spinach di...
HAHAHAHAH!!!! Don't say it! Lol Sarah might get offended! oops I mean er... um.... hahah actually she wouldn't after my conversation concerning certain issues yesterday
Eeekk...maybe it's best I don't ask about that. LOL
Hahahah ya you've learned your lesson from your "-sliding" experience
Yes. It is definitely in my chest of memories.
Hahahahahah.... weren't we talking about innuendos earlier???
Um, yes, actually we were. LOL I just couldn't resist.
Hahaha everyone out there probably thinks that we are insane
It's Ok. I don't deny it. LOL
Lol should I try to??
LOL. It's ok...we all have a certain level of insanity...But little do the people reading these comments know that we make complete sense. lol
I have to say....Bekki and Erica...YOU ARE INSANE!!! But we love ya'll anyways!!! Whew, I am dizzy from trying to follow all the innuendos and non-innuendos, clues and non-clues to what is being discussed!!! Glad you all know what it is about cuz it is almost like a foreign language to me!!! LOL
HAHHAHAHAHA!!! It has been confirmed! We are certifiable. lol...I have had a hard time myself keeping up with comments on all three blogs. lol
I have to agree with Jana.. I have no clue what Bekki or Erica is trying to communicate. There were a few times when I was holding my breath, not knowing what was REALLY trying to be said. You girls have WAY too much time on your hands. I can't do anything to help Bekki find more work, but I can with Erica! LOL
LOL. In my defense: It's been really slow at work lately!! (obviously) Erica...if you get more work...I will help! It's partially my fault Sis. Marxer...I just can't help commenting back...LOL
LOL....you girls better watch out if Sis. Nila is looking for something to take up your time!! She is moving...WAAAAAAAHHHH and has LOTS of things that need doing! Wait a second, Erica, you should already be helping your mama, not slacking off on the computer!!! LOL (jk, I know MOST of these comments were posted during your busy workday at your job...LOL)
AAAAHHH Where did all these comments come from! LOL! Hey I think my honor just got a slight stab! I haven't had internet in my room so I've had to do it at work, scheduling little tidbits of time between my heavy workload hahah! Hey ya Mom, Bekki will help hehehehe
Jana I feel the same way....WAAAAHHHHHH. LOL. California just won't be the same.
Yes...I have offered help multiple times. LOL
Hahah... Well quit offering and just come over! lol jk
Ok. I am actually getting a bit irritated with blogger. LOL I have left comments that haven't shown up and had to repost something different. UGH.
I've had the same issue today! I wonder if it is the system
I had it yesterday too...
It IS the system!!!!! The system being overloaded by your attempt at 100 comments! LOL
Erica, I did not mean to besmirch your honor! I am sure you have been a great help to your mom. I was just astounded by how much free time you ladies have!
CONGRATULATIONS JANA!!! YOU ARE THE 50TH COMMENTER ON THIS POST!!!!! LOL and yes... I do have a lot of time at work these days... It is crazy, but then at other times I don't have a lot of time! LOL tis life!
HAHAHAHAHAHA Jana I think you might be right. LOL My little brother just called us insane Erica...He said we 'feed' off of each other. LOL. And Congrats Jana! Lets see who can be the 100th commenter!!!!
HEY hahaha David isn't too un-insane himself from what I have seen and heard!!! LOL woohoo sounds like a challenge!
This is hilarious. I have one child who LOVES to talk, and I have one who speaks ONLY when necessary. Most of you can guess which one loves to talk. OMW, I don't think I've met her equal until Bekki, Sarah and Nicole came into her life. You girls should compete in the "Worlds Most Random Blog Response"... you'd win 1st Place! LOL
HAHA!!! Aww... Let me guess.... your child that speaks only when necessary is.... ME!!!! LOL get it? Get it?
Yeah, I have always had difficulty finding my equal too...but now...there's four of us!!! LOL. It's great. (And to think: I used to be really shy!!!)
But yeah, I think we would definitely take first in Random Blogging.
Erica...it was a sort of a challenge... but more to encourage everyone to keep going!!! HAHAHAHA. Nothing like a little competition to keep the ball rolling...lol.
The child who LOVES to talk is YOU, Erica. I do belive that's why you got in so much trouble in school. So, now when you become a teacher, you'll understand all these cute little boys and girls who have a gift of strong communication.
And shy? Bekki? Well, if you ever were, God has healed you!!!!
I love the way you put that! "A Gift of Strong Communication." I am going to use that in my next job interview instead of telling them I talk a lot. LOL. But yes, God has definitely healed that side of me LOL. I can't seem to shut up now...
Honestly, I can NOT imagine Bekki shy... well except during church she kinda gets quiet but I think that's from either wanting to pay attention, or trying not to draw attention to herself... unlike me!!! LOL... Awww you know how many times I have gotten on to the Preschoolers for talking??? and then I feel bad cuz their bottom lip starts to quiver... ugh I'm gonna be a horrible teacher lol
Well remember, being a teacher, you must set a GOOD example. So, if you spend the time talking in church, don't get after the kids for talking... right? SMIRK
HAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!! Believe me, the times I do talk in church I relegate those around me to giggles and they can't stop. My friend Nadine and I laughed so hard one service and couldn't stop during the PREACHING that I have had to curb my tongue. She still won't sit next to me in church for that...
LOL maybe it is a good thing you don't talk during service! Because I do remember laughing during Ventura Camp meeting over the explaination of Bro. Booker's phrase... "questioning the circumstances of my birth!" HAHAH! Hey Mom, I try not to talk during church! I really do! LOL
38 more comments to 100! Oops...make that 37 now with this one added! LOL
My hubby says the craziest things during church and I have to bite my lip not to laugh out loud! I tell him to be quiet so I can pay attention! And he tries, but when something strikes him funny, he leans over, tells me his thought and we are off to laughsville.
LOL! I think those moments kinda add to the humor of the service! Where would we be without laughter???
Jana that is exactly how I am!!! I try not to, I really do...but it's just too funny to keep to myself. Yeah Erica that whole moment at camp: "Please tell me that is not Brother _____ behind us..." "Uh, Yeah, It is..."
Actually I think Jana knew me while I was still pretty shy...
OH I still remember that moment SO WELL!!! LOL!!! And I am STILL having a hard time picturing a SHY Bekki
LOL. Sorry...If I could depict it in pictures I would show you pictures of my younger years. Alas...you will just have to take my word for it.
And yeah, I had a difficult time not laughing during that service. With how random we both are, I KNOW that we could keep each other laughing through the whole service. Hence my silence...LOL
Alas....Bekki DID USE to be shy. Her sister, Jill, was the talker back then. Probably was age, bigsisteritis (you know, following around in her shadow), and such. However, when God healed Bekki, He did it in a HUGE way! No doubt about that! LOL
HAHAHA well I am glad He healed Bekki otherwise we wouldn't have been such good friends!!!! LOL in our randomness!!!
LOL Yes. The Lord healed me, wholly and completely. Thankfully, the Lord still does miracles. Now...I just love talking about anything and everything. I definitely have the gift of gab. Which makes a perfect friend for people like Erica. LOL
HAHAHAHAHA I'll take that as a compliment :P
Of course!!!! LOL!!! So any doubters about my shyness...It's been confirmed. I was quiet, quiet, quiet.
Lol.... awwww "Hi my name is Bekki and I used to be shy"
LOL!!!!! How did you know it was introverts anonymous that helped me?!! It's supposed to be anonymous...*sob*. LOL
Bekki just got to skip steps 1-11 and went straight for HEALED, step #12!
As Bro. Ballestero is fond of saying in a growly low voice, "That's what I'm talkin bout." or in a high pitched girly voice, "You go girl!"
LOL
HAHAHAHA OMW YOU ARE ALL KILLING ME HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH SERIOUSLY This is gonna kill me dead from laughing so hard!!
Less than 25 comments to go!
LOL THIS IS SO COOL!
Kill you dead? As opposed to kill you alive?
LOL And yes, I got a get out of the introvert-jail free card. =0) Yay!!!
Well you see... most of the things that "kill" people, don't kill them dead LOL
To kill, by definition, means:
1. To cause death or extinction; be fatal.
2. To commit murder.
LOL I was a tiny bit confused. Thanks for the clarification!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAH Well I am so glad I know what the REAL definition means! LOL!!! But everyone has to admit that they have said things such as "this is killing me" about a headache, or any other such pain
Oh and forgot to mention that the people that would say that are still alive!!! HEHEHE
Just thought I would help...I have a headache killing me right now, but I am not dead...yet.
Hahaha is the headache from trying to keep up with these comments?
No, although it is being compounded by it. Of course, I could solve that by simply turning off the computer, taking some Tylenol and a nap!
TEN MORE TO GO!!!!!
Yay!!! Nine more now!!! Jana, I hope your head feels better! I think Erica and I could make anyone's head hurt...
HEY! Speak for yourself!!! LOL 8 more now!
I am speaking for myself. My head hurts. LOL
Aww Take some drugs LOL
I took a break...still hurts but I don't want to miss the historic 100th comment!!!!! 5 to go!!!!
P.S. You know a headache is bad when coffee doesn't even help!!!
Awww!!! I hope you feel better!!!! 4 to go lol
I
am drinking
A Diet Coke
FOR MY HEAD!!! YESSSSS....WE DID IT. lol. Ok, so I cheated.
YOU ARE A CHEATER!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH JANA SHE CHEATED!
LOL. Sorry. You can delete them so we can do it for reals...
hahahah Nah I'll leave it
WOW...Bekki, that was an interesting way to get to 100! YES!! Now, I can go rest my aching head! LOL
As there has already been a discussion about being forgiven for cheating on your other blog, I do believe Bekki knows what she needs to do now!!!
LOL I feel a spirit of forgiveness sweeping in Bekki... Reach out and grab it now while you have the chance
That's it, Bekki, let go, hold on, let go, hold on....wait...that was a thought from another post! LOL Yet appropo for this post as well.
BTW, are we shooting for 200 comments here? LOL only 93 to go!
ARRRGHGHHHHH I posted something really funny and it didn't post.
I said I need to say the sinners prayer...and then said weeeelllll we could always go for 200 comments...DON'T STONE ME!!! JK
Its not as funny the second time around.
Poor Bekki! OMW YOU BOTH SO AREN'T SERIOUS RIGHT??? Right???
90 to go....LOL
LOL I guess I could post 90 times right now. Too bad I don't have that kind of energy. LOL
I honestly believe you girls have ADD! And Bekki.. I have to admit you do have a problem with this patience thing. You just wanted the posts to get to 100, so you had to "unfold the rose" on your own! ha ha!
I do think, however, that the response on this blog is so hilarious. I'm not for sure if you realize what the blog was even about. When I read this blog, I could not see why so many comments could have been made on this one... I mean, what is there to comment on "Yet Another Eventful Weekend"? I mean.. I would really comment if she had done something dramatic like gone bungee jumping or something. But in the life of ADD's I guess you'll do anything for attention. (Smirk)
YAY!!! Sister Marxer is helping us get to 200!!! LOL Just kidding.
Yeah, my head hurt and my eyes were screaming at me for being glued to the computer that long. My ADDness took over...LOL. I guess I need to listen to Timothy Spell's song a bit more to get the idea. LOL
