Christmas Time!

I'm super duper excited for Christmas! We have decorated Christmas cookies, put up the tree, gone shopping (It is so hard to shop here in small town U.S.A.!), and listen to Christmas music! We are all ready for Christmas!
 This year for Christmas, were going to go to church, because I am on the worship team, we have to go early.. haha So we will have to down the breakfast and look at our stockings in a flash! Then we will come home, have Christmas dinner, then open presents! Usually, while we are eating our breakfast of sausage, homemade cinnamon rolls, and egg casserole, we read a book series we read every Christmas season called Jotham's Journey. It's an exciting way to tell the Christmas story from a kids side of view in that time! Highly recommend them :)

Back to School

Back to school we go,
And all of us know,
That fall is coming,
Leaves will be falling,
Apple cider to sip,
Don't let it burn your lip!
We'll bring out the jeans,
Mom will cook hot beans,
These are signs of autumn,
Come rake some leaves,don't be a bum!
Math, Science, language arts too,
There is so much school to do!
Buy some pencil's and notebooks to use,
And try to remember to even count by two's!
Close the pool,
Go to school,
You know autumn?
It has begun.

Yogi Bear

I love Yogi Bear! Well, the classic cartoon :) Boo-Boo Is sooooo cute! I also love the colors! Especially in this photo!

Volley Ball :)

I just started to play volley ball on a team... I am no very good (: Trust me. I am not being 'modest'. I am not very good lol :) But still it is a really fun game to play! It is almost an essential to life. You will always run into an awkward*  graduation party or picnic where they make you play. So I am joining to just kinda get the basics and hope fully have allot of fun :D

* TURTLE, WHALE, PIE ;)

Vacation

Hey peoples! I just got back from vacation with my family. We spent the last week camping at lake Michigan.That means swimming, campers, bike riding, gross toilets and showers, laying on the beach, and getting sun burnt. :) But it was all worth it. We had a really good time hanging out together and relaxing.

Sit by the stream,
And watch the fish, 
They Work like a team,
And make the water swish, 
Watch the water glide,
It looks smooth as it could be, 
No one could ever hide,
How it makes you feel so free.

Listen to the first verse very carefully. The first verse of this song feels like the story of my life... Well at least the past year.
One year ago, this very day, I felt like pretty no much no one cared... and that I was hated. I felt like the only person who loved me or cared how I felt was God, my family and one of my friends. Do you have any idea how that feels? Well now, I am surrounded by people who love me and care about my family... I know that this big mess was totally part of God's plan.

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called 
according to his purpose
Romans 8:28

illegal milk?

Went to Rochester to check out Crossroads Christian College :) Got free Culver's out of it (; We are now buying raw milk from a Amish lady with a mustache... but we are 'friends' so it is OK...? And now mom is making butter! And we went to Aaron's friends cow farm... I FEEL LIKE A HICK! When... IF Mom makes the butter I will take a picture :) I wonder what it will look/taste like?

July 24 2011

One year ago, around this time my life dramatically changed, and that is when I started this blog. If you go back and look at my very first post, you can tell I created this blog to complain. But we have so many things to rejoice about! Today I realized how much of the summer I wasted. I could have done so many things to encourage my friends, family and even my self! But most of my summer was spent 'thinking what to do', watching TV, sitting on the computer... Just imagine if our society stopped doing all the above! Our world would change. Although TV and computers are needed to keep in contact with the nation and friends, we can still cut some of the time watching TV etc. and replace it with doing our bible reading, like we might say we do. I am not condemning the earth... But you understand.... Well.... I think this^^^ was stupid... but necessary.

Wow!

haven't done anything on here in forever! Then I was just browsing for free Stardoll stuff and BAM I remembered this!

Well I moved and I'm liking it here. New friends... New church.. New EVERYTHING! Except for my computer life.. lol

Hey! I now have one follower! lol.

So I am liking the idea of having land... recently> me and Elisabeth have been interested in frogs> and tadpoles...yuck :/ >>>
