Hey how are all of you doing? I'm doing really well. I am going to try to training some of my horses tomorrow sometime. They are being kinda bad.=(

I said I would tell you about the New Year thing so here you go................

It was a lottttttttttttttttttttttt of fun we played a lot of games, ate hot dogs, and played some more games.......

There was some really loud music, but they only played that when we were so pose to be singing...  They talked about "Why Not Now". Why not asks Jesus into your heart right now is what they talked about. It was really good, and I really learned a lot from it..................

Ok, will I am going to try to write late. So I guess that’s it. I will tell you the horse training went........

These are some pics I really liked.........................................................

All of these pics came from  Ranch Shekinah .

My younger sister and I have been attending a local church for the children choir, and the youth group. A couple of weeks ago I was in a skit at the church. It was called       

“ Using our Skills for God ”.

There was a skit that the girls did - it was about some girl scouts on a camping trip. It was very comical and the point of it was to work together so we could glorify God in our actions. 

One girl played someone that was obsessed with fire, another was the mother of one of the girls , two of us were girly girls, the youngest  girl was the girl scout leader, two of the girls wanted to play dumb  and dumber,  so we had to have that.   And the ones that probably shocked the audience the most was the two scaredy cats that’s main part was to run off the stage screaming because there might be Lions or Tigers, and because we were afraid of getting germs from the dirt!   The ones that know us good probably got a really good kick out of that because we are the most tomboyish ones out of the group.

The boys did a skit on how they wanted to start a band and that was very comical - it also was on working together so we could glorify God in our actions.  Well they had to keep starting over because they were not working together. When they first started they weren’t even playing the same song, then they had to play in the same note - one of them thought that he was playing in the note of “Q”.  Starting at the same time helped also!!!!  A couple liked it fast, another slow, and one liked it fast and slow - so it would blow the audiences mind.  l.o.l.  Anyway they finally started working together. Oh and I almost forgot the funniest thing about their skit was they were all playing different instruments with coat hangers. Like the drums, guitar, trumpet, etc………. 

We sang a lot of songs I think they were all by:   "Chris Tomlin” but I’m not sure on that. They were really good; I was only in two of them, the group song and the girl song.

Three girls did a duet. A couple of the kids did some random things like bring baked cookies and giving a message to go along with it or reading a passage from the Bible in English and Spanish. Painting and giving a message that goes along with it.  All of them had something to do with how we can use our skills for God.  It was a really good service. I’ll try to post the video they took or some pics, but I don’t know when I will get a copy.

Hey ya’ll, I am so sorry that I have not posted anything forever!!!!  Live has been kind of busy but for those of you that follow my mom's blog you'll see that that hasn’t stopped her.

Anyway I am going to get back to all of you that left comments on my blog this week some time.  I don’t want any of you to think that I don’t appreciate them!!!!!

Once again I have a lot to tell all of you…………..!!!    I guess I will start with the most imported thing.  My older sister had her third baby but her first girl two weeks ago this coming Monday.  Her name is Grace and she is the cutes thing!!!!! She had her baby at home, just like my mom did. She had her last two at home Seth (3), Abraham (1). She was only in labor for one hour so that was really good!!

Here is a pic of Grace and my mom..........
