Yesterday was Jessica and Daniel's Birthday's!!!! Well, I have "yesterday" but this is an old draft that I never got around to posting. So bear with me.
I'm really bummed I didn't bring the camera so now I can't put pictures up.

Before dinner, we were all playing Frizzbee and talking.
Daniel showed me his Corn snake!
His snake laid 13 eggs and I got to hold one.
He said that I could have one when they hatch! (Mom said "gross" and "no".)
After dinner, everyone went outside and it was pouring hard!!!
Most of us stayed out for a long time, but then I and a couple other kids went inside.
Paulie, Tim Jaime (Hi-may) and JohnMark stayed outside with their shirts off acting like a bunch of dingbats!

Mrs. Estabrooks made a really good cake; It looked very ruby red.
Everyone loved the cake; I had two pieces!

After everyone was done with there dessert, Daniel played the piano and everyone sang!
Now, as the adults were talking, the electricity went out and then came back on. They had candles out there and Dad was acting silly with Mom.
Then, about a minute later, it went out again and stayed off.
Everyone was having a lot of fun! Mr. Estabrooks and I lit all the candles and found flash lights.
It was funny because right when we left, all the electricity came back on! LOL!
We had a great time over at their house.
Thanks Mom and Dad for taking us (and ClaraBaughn!) over there!

I'll post again soon since we are NOW in AZ on a huge summer trip on the road. God bless all of you!

My grandpa came down from AK to TN for a conference.
After he was done with the conference, he spent two nights with us and then went back home.
My grandpa is the BEST guitar player in the world.
He taught us a lot of stuff on the piano, Paulie's new guitar-bass and the guitar.
(Paulie bought a bass a couple days ago and Grandpa showed him how to do some stuff on it).
Here are some pictures:


Here we are taking Grandpa up to the Smoky Mountains!


:)


Grandpa and the kids!



And here are some pictures of Paulie's new Bass!

Isn't it so cool looking!?! I love the color of it too!

 Here is another picture of it. He is having a lot of fun with it!

And to end this entry, I have a couple cute pic's of San!


Awwww!


She is so cute!


Alright, that's it for now, I'm going to bed!

Ok, I'm sorry to keep (the few people that check my blog every now and then) you all waiting for a new update.

Let's see, we are going to be so busy through out the months of June and July.
We are having TONS of people staying over at our house through the month of June.
We are leaving in 'mid July to going to CA! I don't think we will be coming back 'till
early Augest! It is going to be SO much fun! We are going to get to see our friends and family again!
A couple days ago we had Mrs. B over from England! She brought chocolate and it was SO good.
England chocolate is WAY better than American chocolate. She came to the USA  because she was going to speak at a conference. They don't really have any conferences in England.
We had a great time with Mrs. B!

Tomorrow, we have more people coming to stay with us.
I forget their last name though.

Guess What?!?!?!?!

When we went to the conference I saw a piano software that people were selling.
Mom said that we didn't have the money for it.
But the lady said that if I wrote a review for it and we put it in the magazine, then she would give me the software!
She is suppose to get back with us soon. I can't wait!

Ok, well, I just wanted to let all you guys know that I wasn't dead. ;)

Posted in BIRTHDAYS!!

Today is Jocelyn's Birthday! She is turning 17 today! Jocelyn is one of my best friends! She has helped me a lot. Such as, making me a whole new template and making me a banner! She is really smart with all that kind of stuff. If you want a banner or something like that, just ask JOCELYN! It's too bad we couldn't make it up there for your Birthday. I'm sorry I didn't put a party on for you like everyone else did. We are so busy lately.
Well anyway, I hope you have a great birthday and you see a lot of people. Thank you, Jocelyn, for being a great friend!

Please go over to Jocelyn's blog and wish her a very happy Birthday. (http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/jocelyndixon)

 

We have no Internet where we are staying, so Mom's helping me out here with this entry. First of all, we're having a great time. Luke and Julia got new bikes so now all four of us have been riding around Seaside, Florida. Guess what movie was made here? THE TRUMAN SHOW. Seriously. And the house rental that we are in is none other than the house next door to the Truman House. The grocery store here in town was also in the movie. But we are literally next door to the house used in the movie! And if you go up on our rooftop, you can see the ocean. We're going to try and rent the movie tonight and watch it with the Marcums.

In other news, our van was robbed. A lot of games were taken (electronic) as well as Luke's chess board which was signed by Jonathan Sarfati, big time chess player. My mom emailed a friend who is friends with Dr. Sarfati, and they are sending Luke a new one, signed again. Also a bunch of books were taken, a backpack and a walkman. We need to lock the van up - our fault. At least they did not touch Mom's purse or our Burgar King gift certificate from the Marcums!!!!

We've been swimming a bit. Mr. Marcum took us down to the ocean. Last night we went and saw EXPELLED the movie in a nice theater with my parents, Luke, Paulie and Mr. Marcum (who treated us to the movie). Mrs. Marcum stayed home with my two sisters. They were all pretty tired. Great movie, interesting. We need to watch it again, Dad says, just to catch everything.

Mom cooked a bunch of great stuff like spaghetti, meatballs, mashed potatoes, wine chicken. Dad made some fruit salads. The Marcums love fruit. Last night Mr. Marcum took us three boys to the bumper cars and he rode too. Mom was sick so Dad was taking care of her (she got food poisoning - not fun). She's fine now.

Sani is rolling over now. She giggles at me all the time. When other people hold her, she looks at Mom like, COME AND GET ME MOMMY!!!! It's funny. She knows all of us really well now. She's five months old TODAY!!!!!!! Happy Birthday Sani Banani!

My family will be in Georgia with the Marcums next weekend. Anyone going to GHEA? Come see us at the TOS booth! And come see Sani!

Hello everyone from Florida!! I will write a proper entry soon with pictures! We are having a great time over here. The Marcums' got here today! This community has a pool, a park and trails to go biking!!! And across the street is the ocean; you can see it from the roof of our rental house. Today we drove to Pensacola. Sani was giggling in the van.

I think we will be heading back the 1st or 2nd of May.

I have told some of you that I might be able to get on a lot over here but we are so busy.
So, that might not be able to happen.

Also, Nick, I told you that I would be able to email you over here. But my email isn't on Mom's laptop so I won't be able to email you over here in FL.  :(

Actually though, Nick, if you resend me your last email, she WILL get it because she gets all my emails. She just does not have your last one on it, so I have not been able to respond to you. Send it and I will respond in a day or two.

Ok well, I have to go now. I just wanted to let you guys know what was going on over here and I will be posting pictures!

Leave me LOTS and LOTS of comments while I'm here!

Ok, the ice cream shop was really fun. And what do I mean about robots? Well, it was this machine and you tap a touch screen telling it what you want as far as ice cream and sprinkles! The robot then gets a plastic cup and goes to each little tube and out come candies such as Nerds, M&Ms, sprinkles or little gum bits! You can stick 3 different candies on there. It was great! Their ice cream was so creamy and delicious! They even have a big opening where you can watch and ask questions! Mom even likes their cappe's almost as much as Starbucks.

Ok, here are some pictures I took!



Here is what the store looks like!



Here is a pic of the owner's son. He is 15 and is making Mom's cappe!




Us looking and ordering our ice cream!


All the yummy creamy ice cream!



Here is how they make their ice cream!




Making vanilla ice cream!




And here it is when it is done!


Here she is explaining to us how they make the cones!


The machine-like robot!


Ok, see the tubes attached to all the candy? When the robot goes under it with the cup, it pours out the toppings!


Getting Dad's ice cream!


Here are the tubes up close.


Here it was before you decide what you want.



You can barely see the tubes but it is about to pour the last bit of sprinkles!


Here it is after you're done! A little window opens and you just grab it out and eat it! Looks good!


Mmmmmmm!


More goodies...






YUM!


I like this shirt a lot! It was hanging on the wall. In case you can't see what it says, I'll tell you. It says, "I just got served ice cream by a robot"!




I really liked the Ice cream shop! I hope we can go there more often.
