The Life of Tara Snodgrass

SUMMER!!!!

2010-09-03T09:40:00.000-07:00

I am sooo sorry I have not been keeping this thing up! But as you all know my mom got cancerous tumors in her lungs and liver about three months ago. Since then our lives have been changed upside down!! But every day we thank God for all that He has done for mom and Maddie. :) But behind all that, our summer has been very fun!!!!! I posted ALOT of pics from the summer we have had. :)

Madelyn Grace Snodgrass is here!!!!!

Hey peoples!!!! I am sooo excited that I FINALLY have a little sister!!!! She is so adorable!! Here are some pics of the beeeauuutiful sista.

Please Pray for Courtney Burnette

2010-04-25T20:27:00.000-07:00

Hey everybody! I just wanted to send a big prayer request. Some of ya'll know her. Her name is Courtney Burnette, and she was not too long ago diagnosed with cancer. She has a tumor on her brain stem. She is 9 years old, so the Burnette family needs your prayers right now. It all started when she had trouble seeing, and she could not focus very good, so she went to the doctor and they found something that was NOT normal. A few days later they found out that she had a tumor on her brain stem. It is not looking so good for her so they would appreciate your prayers. Here is a link to her website: www.caringbridge.org/visit/courtneyburnette
Love,
Tara

I'm back!!!!!

2010-03-02T18:11:00.000-08:00

Hey everybody!!! I'm soooo sorry that I have not been posting lately! We are so excited that my mom is going to have a baby girl! We just got the crib set last week!! It is in pink and brown. You probably have already seen it on my mom's facebook. <3 This is kinda changing the subject, but has everybody heard about that crazy "killer whale" killing that Seaworld trainer!? It was very shocking to me. :'( I am not very happy that the Seaworld people are going to keep training with the killing thing!!!! D=
Changing the subject,(*again*) I HAVE A COLD!!!!! A BAD ONE! ONE THAT COULD MAKE AN ESKIMO SHIVER!!!!! But i guess I will get over it soon. ;( I should probably get off of this thing for now... *I will have some random pics on here soon!*

Christmas in Tampa, Florida!!

2009-12-30T13:01:00.000-08:00

Hey everybody! I hope all of you had good Christmas!!!!!! We had a very good Christmas in the sun, with cousins, and SEA WORLD!!! It was sooo much fun! I will tell you about that part in a minute. OK, first we found out that my mom's brother and his family (Mark Russell III) were going to Florida 4 Christmas, sooo we decided to go to Florida too!!!! We are such a loving family! lol But my Gramma Snodgrass would be alllll alone for Christmas so we would go to Florida on Monday, and come back on Christmas Eve so we could be home on Christmas Day!!! It seems like the Christmas rush only ends... ... ... ummmm... in January??? rotfl Anyway, Sea Wold was a blast! First, we tried (remember the word tried) to get in the Shamu Show, but the KILLER whales weren't acting right. So we rode a roller coaster or two or three (lol) in the mean time so it was time for the next Shamu Show, and before we got there it was already PACKED OUT. (remember that word 2, lol ) So we went to a few other shows, but there was one that was so funny! It was the seal show, and the actors were awful!! And so the Shamu Show was coming again..... it was "packed out." Sad but true. :(:( So Grampa took Me, Katie, Chip, Jenny, and Grant to another roller coaster at night!! The real show that night was at the top of dreaded and feared by many (drumroll) KRACKEN! We were at the very top of this amazingly scary roller coaster it was exactly nine o'clock, and to the east we looked and what to our wondering eyes should appear.... fireworks !! People, it was gawgeous, I tell you! Then we fell to our fate and lost our voices screaming and yelling and posing for that stupid camera that is surprisingly annoying cuz you look like you ate a very sour lemon or just saw an alligator in your bathtub. Or if you're like our cuzn Grant Daniel Russell you look like a six year old who just saw all the school work he had to finish before he graduated. A blank stare that made my sister and I laugh so hard pepsi came out of our noses. Ummmm... Katie umm... just got the computer. lol She is surprisingly humorous! But after the " KRACKEN" we saw an ice skating show! In Florida! (made me laugh) Now it time to go. WAHHH! Then after that I think everybody would be very, very hungry! So we went to the world's largest McDonald's! Then all of us CRASHED!! My parents seem to love that word for some odd reason. But now I must go I will hopefully have some pics soon.
Love,
Tara

2009-11-23T10:54:00.000-08:00

HEY EVERYBODY! MY MOM IS GOING TO HAVE A BABY!!! I am so excited!! We don't know what it is going to be yet, but I really don't care what it is but it basically just has to healthy! There is so much to talk about!! =-D OK, first when she was five weeks along, she went to the doctor and the blood work results were AMAZING!! ( that was before they told us) So when they got home they decided to tell us! She is now 12 weeks along. She went to the doctors office on Wed. and they heard a heart beat! OK now Katie is sixteen! I will have pictures of her soon! (this time I mean it!)

Love,

Tara

Hey everybody!!

2009-08-08T22:10:00.001-07:00

Hey people I'm so sorry that I haven't posted this thing in forever!! There has been sooo much happening since my last post! First my parents had an anniversary and married for 18 years. I feel old!! Then my birthday. It was so much fun! We weren't home of course! We went to Hannibal, Missouri which was a blast! I am now 11 years old. Then we had a PNC Youth Camp it was so fun it was my dad's first time to come. I think he liked it too. Then the 4th July came, we went to a tea party there lots of speeches and a little bit of fireworks. And then after that we went to the PNC camp! It was so much fun! There was a creek with a swimming hole and the kids made a dam which was really fun! Donny Bates Jr. did the youth service and he did a good job. Well right now I am on vacation! We are going to stay in Tampa, Florida for a few days, then we are going to go to Gulf Shores, Al. I will have pics on here soon. Tara

2009-05-22T19:21:00.000-07:00

Hey! Sorry its been sooo long since I have been able to post this thing! But I have some things to say to you! One day my dad was thinking to himself. He said, " Self, why don't I take my family to revival in Osage Hills, OK." So that means I got to spend a week with one of my best friends! (Crissy Durr) We had so much fun playing with kittens, chasing horses, (it kinda kicked me one time) and being attacked by roosters. From there, we went to my Uncle Mike's house.(my dad's side) He had a big pool which everybody knows we had to go swimming in it! Then from there, we went to Bro. Anaya's church on Weds. (Spanish church) It was a neat experience. Well I will post pictures on here soon!
Love,
<3 Tara <3

2009-03-18T18:52:00.000-07:00

I can not put words on paper about how much I loved my Grandpa. He has left a very big hole in my heart. He always said he did not want people to be happy at his funeral he wanted people to CRY! (joke) I am very glad that Grandpa can finally spend time with my sister Robin! Please pray for my Grandma and my dad and his brothers and sisters.

Hello everyone! Here I wake up on a late Sunday morning, (not really late but late for church!)and look at the clock and what do you know its 9:55!!!! So I said, "Mom aren't we supposed to be on our way to church!?!" She said ,"Look out the window!" So I got my dragging self up, and looked out the window...it was snowing cats and dogs!!! :) So that means everything shuts down when it starts snowing!(in Al that is) So here we all sit!

At first I woke up on an early Monday morning to a fever. Then I had a cold along with the fever, and then my fever broke (still having the cold that is) and then this morning I woke up to another fever! And know its broke again thank the Lord!! So I will have to pray and pray that it won't come back again! I'll keep you posted if anything happens!

Lincoln's Birthday

2009-02-21T19:41:00.001-08:00

When we were in Florida, we decided to go out to eat for breakfast to Bob Evans. We walked in the door, and lo and behold, there stood Abraham Lincoln. (He looked pretty good for 200 years old!) So we went over like anybody would do and introduced ourselves to him. Mr. Lincoln and I got into a conversation about Grace Bidell, and he said I reminded him of her.

More pictures finally!

2009-02-21T19:24:00.001-08:00
