A Spring Walk. :)

 Green!!!! :D :D :D :D I love Spring <3


The creek. I was hoping it would be higher but I couldn't get down there yesterday and it was pretty low by today. :) It was still plenty fast though! It was lovely. 



hehehe. :D The rock I threw. It didn't make it very far. I was throwing left handed though and it was a huge rock! :D :D :D lol





 Attempting to balance on this crazy rock. :D You should have seen it up close! :)
The field that Jonnah and I make a mad dash across every time we go to the creek to avoid snakes, ticks and the like. :D The grass it *so* tall right now!!!!
The shortcut. :) You can see the real road through the trees. It is way longer but not as steep. it is a tough decision between ease and time every trip back. :D this time we had to be back quick so we chose the shortcut. We made it up impressively fast though!! Of course, I kinda have to blame that on the killer horsefly that chased us half way up. :D
Yeah. It looks steeper in real life! :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Orchestra tomorrow! :P *sigh* I am bushed. *yawn* :) I am really excited and pretty dang sad about this weekend. Happy part is THE VALENCIAS ARE COMING!!! :D :D :D :D They are coming Tomorrow evening and staying at Jase and Toni's for the weekend! I am SOOOOO Excited!!! I have not seen Noni is *WAY* too long! :D ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ yep. I am really really 'cited. :D :D
Sad part. This is Aaron and Jen's last weekend living in MO. :( Hopefully not forever but we will see what the Lord has planned! I am certainly going to miss all of them!! Jenna and Baby Della and my crazy awesome hysterical big brother. :') Can you imagine what it must have been like for people you love to move away back before we had cell phones and internet and cars!!?? Like Laura Ingles! She and her family left everything and everyone they loved to move across the country! hehe. My Brother's family is moving a couple hours away and we are all going to miss them like crazy!! We are a bunch of spoiled people huh?? ^_^ I am so thankful for being spoiled that way though. ^_^ <3 <3 Anyways. I think I had better scoot. I have to be up early in the morning! I hope everyone has as amazing a weekend as I am really hoping to have! :D :D :D

"Girls are so queer you never know what they mean!" ~Theodore Laurence

A new post!!!!
:D I haven't blogged in too long! It just feels like I have had so much to do! :D We are finally getting close to finishing up school for the Summer! I am so excited!!! We only have 5 weeks left and I am *really* hoping I can get finished before that. The sooner done the better! How many of you knew that Micah is going to graduate this year??? Crazy!!! :D :D :D He is getting his Drivers license too. :) I'm jealous!! of all of it!! :D lol. Oh well. It's my turn soon! I have a hard time not feeling like I have to rush my self to adulthood. ^_^ Right now I am just a crazy little teen that has oodles of fun with my family, friends, and life in general! I have to remember that I *will* grow up some day and then I will have more and more responsibilities and such and won't ever be such a carefree kid again! :) I'll tell you something......One thing that I dread more than almost anything else about "growing up" is money!! Budgeting and balancing and saving and such. :P I am really awful at it now! I am the dumbest person on earth when it comes to numbers! Also, I have THE hardest time not blowing it all on junk food and t-shirts and things that I really don't need! I'm a spender. that's fo' shizzle. :D
We had a great Easter!!! Church that morning was lovely and the singing was superb! :D It was amazing. ^_^ After church all the bigger kids came over here and we just hung out and cooked and ate good food and took family pictures and had a blast! Toni and Joanna also put together an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids! They love those! :D This one was interesting though. It has been raining ALL week so it was superly wet and muddy outside and we decided to do the hunt indoors!! I helped hide the eggs this year and we had SO many!! We were running out of places to hide them really fast. :D Even though the house was chaos for about half an hour from kids running from one place to the next and yelling and laughing we all had so much fun! Times like those make for lovely memories don't they? <3
I would add some pics from Sunday but apparently mom already emptied the camera onto the external hard drive and I don't know how to use it. I am also kinda squeamish when it comes to getting pictures off of it! I just know that one of theses times I'm gonna cause a disaster with the photos or something. lol
Hey!!! Mom just came over here to the comp and told me that all the pictures are still on the desktop!! :D Huzzah!! So I'll add some pics as here in a minute.
Aaron and Jenna get to stay here this weekend!! They have to be out of the timeshare they are staying at by Friday so they are going to stay with us until they leave for Tennessee on Sunday. It will be fun to have them here for a while before they leave. :)
I'd better sign off. I really need to go work on some Grammar before I'm back on here to chat with Noni @ 3. :) Hope you enjoy the pictures!!! They aren't very good but they are fun. :) <3 <3










P.S. My title is, of course, from Little Women. the first time I ever got so close to hating Josephine March!! :) lol. Anyways. I just love that chapter even though it makes me mad at Jo. ^_^ <3 I never really understood how she could *not* be completely head over heels in love with Laurie. I feel like Larry "I'll take you to the ball Barbara Manatee!!!" lol. <3 <3 <3 :D

"PUT A LID ON IT BUTTERSCOTCH!!!" ~Gus

BAHAHAHA!!!!! I love that quote!! It is the funniest thing Mickey Rooney ever said!! Have u ever seen Night At The Museum? If not, u should. I expected to hate it when I watched it for the first time the other night. I must say, I was in stitches all the way through!!!! :D :D :D :D :D LOL! ^_^

I have had a nice weekend. :D Saturday was plain old. Cleaning and such. Sunday was awesome! :) After church people hung out and played sports and stuff until the Link family's concert that night. It was so fun!!! the whole day. ^_^ Today was special because (1) it is Benjamin's birthday so we got to eat cherry slices for breakfast (YUM!) (2) I was already finished with most of the day's school so it took me about 10 minutes to finish!! :D :D :D (3) We went to town this afternoon and I got an amazing new pair of Jeans at RedRacks for $4 (No Easter dress though. :( I was really hoping to find something. hopefully I can check Classified Fashions and Plato's Closet before Sunday!), we went to the library (which, no, I wasn't really excited about) on the South side of town which turned out to be *much* more fun when I went to the Mudhouse there and got a Frozen Grasshopper (YUMMER!!), and (4) I'm sitting here blogging and chilling while my fam does their various things. I think they are watching The Gunfight At OK Corral in the living room. I have never been one for westerns. Actually. I hate most of them. ^_^

BwaHAHA!!! ok. that was interesting. I was sittin' here typing away when from the other room comes : "you're the son of a yeller bellied Sow." LOLOL!!!! I told you I hate westerns!!!!!!!! HAHAHA!!!!

Weeell.....I'm pretty bushed coz today has been really long. :) Nice though. I'm gonna go get some coffee and maybe watch that retarded show w/ the kids. :) "TTFN! ta-ta-for-now!!!"~T-I-double"g"-Er

A random post. ^_^

*YAWN* WOW! That was a big one. Every time I yawn I sit here hoping my eyes won't water up enough to smear my mascara! lol. :D I am *so* tired and my Starbucks double shot isn't kicking in. :P

ok. Whatever this show is....It's creepy! lol. I'm sitting here in the Asbury Nursery with nothing to do but write a blog post because the baby I'm babysitting isn't gonna be here today and all my buddies are in classes. :( Oh well. :D Mom got this really odd cartoon at Redbox while she was out this morning. Called "The Missing Lynx". Don't get it. It is beyond retarded and strange and terrible. I can't believe the quality of the animation! It looks half-finished! Its HORRID!!!

Jonathan and Bradley Love brought JAWS 2 to watch this morning! :D They watched it while mom and the little kiddo's were gone. Or rather watched parts of it. lol. Bradley fast forwarded to all the parts where people either got eaten or blown up while Jonathan giggled and clapped. :D :D :D :D it was *so* funny! :D

*growl* that was my stomach. :P I am STARVING!!

Our family went to Silver Dollar City yesterday! It was a TON of fun. :D :D :D :D  Aaron and jen and Mrs. Brand and Gramma all came with us. it was World Fest so there were some pretty fun shows going on all day. We watched the Canadian Step Dancers and they were SO good!!! we also watched a Russian "jazz" band who were a talented group but I didn't care for the way they played. And I hated their singer chick. She was awful. :P She thought she was a way bigger deal than she was and way over did every thing. I will say though that their Clarinet/Saxophone player was REALLY good! He totally had the Jazz style down! :D

I am happy right now. Unusually happy for a Friday morning. ^_^ I'm chatting with my Bestie,, watching the babies play (quietly! lol) on the floor, and this movie is almost over. *sigh* As noni over at http://noniijoy.blogspot.com/ would say, "It's the good life" <3 <3 have an amazing weekend ppl. <3

A Boring Post

Um. It has been a while since my last post....but I feel so dang boring tonight. I have been debating whether or not to try and write one. I think I will. :D lol.

ok....um....wow. uh...Yeah. I don't have a stinking thing to say. lol.

Right this second Nathanael is stomping around the house honking "When The Saints Go Marching In", Jonnah is playing Plants V. Zombies on mom's iPod, Sam is looking for something to do as mom said no tv tonight, Leah is cracking up about something or another....I have a feeling it has to do with whatever Nathanael is talking about now that he is done honking. :D Oh yeah. Me. I am sitting here wating for the coffe to finish so i can have some.....yummm....I love coffee in the evening. ^_^ so yeah. Not much goin' on 'round here. lol

I had a great morning hangin' with Joanna and Gavin! :D Jo needed a babysitter for while she was at her Dr.'s appointment so I soent the morning with them. :D Gavin is a dolly. <3 <3 I was holding him in the waiting room this morning and he was really tired but didn't want to fall asleep so he would fuss for a minute then snuggle his face up in his blanket and stick his little thumb in his mouth and close his eyes. It was *adorable*. The lady at the receptionist desk had to open her little window and say that he was one of the cutest things she had ever seen. :D (yes, she knew it was Joanna's baby. lol!) He was so good. <3

weeelll.....yep! this was boring! lol. I promised Sam I would play Dutch Blitz with him and Noni isn't popping up on chat like I hoped she would. WAIT!!! There she is!!! :D :D :D :D lol. she came up seriously a half second after I finished that. oooohhh.....that coffee smells so good. <3 Have a great week ppl!!! <3 <3

Who Am I?

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours
  I am Yours
