Stuff
Posted By Amy
Yay! I got my template finished! One thing I like about it is that I can post my pictures bigger than before. I might change a few things someday but for now it's good enough. :-) This is the first template I've ever had that I used an image map for the header. It was lots of fun!
Later today we're going to the park with a friend. We'll bring our tennis rackets and balls. We're hoping that the firefighters aren't playing though, because I don't think I've ever gone to this park and they haven't shown up... And then after that, we are going to the library.
And lastly, here is a random photo that I took a few months ago at a park in CA. There was a whole family of ducks swimming around in the pond. The ducklings were sooooooo cute and fluffly that I wanted to pick them up and cuddle them, but of course that isn't allowed. :-) The mother duck probably wouldn't have been too happy with me...

Recent happenings!!
Posted By Beth
The other day we all went for an afternoon walk, and there was lotsss of flooding!! We all eventualy got soaked, and by the time I got back to the car, but feet felt numb, as I was wearing canvas white (but are now gray,  ) and water soaked in easily.
This is what mostly all the paths were like...It was not very deep at all, only roughly about 2 inches.
This is the lake. :)
You know what little brothers are like, and this is what my cute little (nearly 2 yr old) brother has been doing.
then the freezer bags, I doen't know how he managed to get it!!!
And I was helping my in the kitchen and I heard this rustling in the bathroom and then, what a waste of freezer bags!!!
I also promised my good blogger friend (ALadyBug) a photo of my new budgie, Tommy.
Isn't he beautiful!!!!
well thanks for stopping bye!!! |

Today...
Sunday, November 8th, 09 4:51pm
Outside my window..
It's pretting dark out now and 57 degress (not bad). But wow, dark at this time of day already!!
I am thinking...
About this post and the salad I am eating.
I am thankful for...
All the blessings and health we've had!
I am wearing...
jeans and a green t-shirt
I am reading..
2 Corinthians & Proverbs (KJV)
16# in the original Elsie Dinsmore series (sort of, right now I'm mostly rereading the Winnie the Horse Gentler series)
"So Much More" By Anna Sofia Botkin and Elizabeth Botkin
"Blue Denim And Lace" By Dr. Jack Hyles
The Girlhood Home Companion Magazine
I am creating...
An old-time dress, a quilt. And I was doing a knitting project but I've hit a snag.
One of my favorite things...
Bible Quizzing
For education this week...
All regular school things, along with teaching young children (AWANA), sewing, horse riding, and probably other life skills.
A keeper at home skill I am using/learning...
I'm sewing a small quilt for Home Ec. class. I also feel like baking this week. Oh, and I'll probably be cleaning too.
A godly character trait I plan to work on...
Oh, there's so many I should work on... meekness, not being so shy but not doing all the talking either (I don't know if that will ever happen though :-) being a Godly sister and daughter...
Scripture I am memorizing...
1Cor. 10, and keeping 1Cor 2 and 9 fresh in my memory.
I am praying for...
Prayer requests from our church, our country, and others that come up...
For the rest of the week...
Wednesday: AWANA (my mom, sister, and I do the 3-5 year olds). Friday: the long awaited day - we're getting our little Leonberger puppy!!! And I'm sure other things will arise.
A picture thought I'd like to share...
As some of you may know or have hinted from my mentions of it - our church has started a Bible Quizzing team! We memorize chapters (this year from 1 & 2 Cor. and Titus) and then every first Saturday of the month we compete against other teams. Well, last time we didn't do so well - let's just our team got 3rd place (last place) every time and I only answered two questions correctly. This time we got four 3rd places, one 2nd places, and two 1st places!! And this time I got fourteen questions answered correctly!!! Anna got five! So just to say, we are having allot more fun now!! Below is a picture of us quizzing last month, sorry, no pictures of this time.
Thank you for reading! ~Amber |

Another weekly post! :)
I'm posting again. Aren't you proud? Even though I'm not getting very many comments, things might happen where people come back to blogging, and then, when they come back, I'm actually have posted! :)
This week, nothing really significant happened. We did a full week of school, putting us past the 50 days mark. That means there's only 130 more to go. :)
This week, we'll be doing a lot of cleaning, and cooking, for my birthday party on next Sunday. 7 days until I'm 16. :)
Natalie is coming in 13 days, less than a week. I'm really excited to see her again, and of course, I'll be sure to post pictures on my blog, of when she's here. Her younger sister is coming to hang out with Gracie for the weekend, so I'm sure that it will be fun for both Gracie and I.
Tonight, I'm headed to my church for youth group. Our church just started having youth, so right now, it's only a once-a-month thing. But it's still a lot of fun, and I get to see my friends again! :)
I'll post again sometime next week.
Love,
~Ashley |

Tickled Blue!
I am so excited and very proud to say I am now officially the oldest of 9 children! :) Samuel Ira was born today! We are 20 years and 12 days apart. He is just precious and sweet! A true gift from God! I'm tickled there is another newborn in the house! :D Altho... there are so many people to share him with. LOL! Trying to snatch him anytime I can! ;) Will get some more up about him and pictures soon! :D I am just soo happy he's here!
I am so blessed by God to have another sibling to love, to watch grow up and to TRY to be an example of how to live as our Messiah did!
Thank you God for the blessing of this precious babe! Such an awesome Shabbat this has been!

"Please Mom?"
Posted By Amy
That is what mom hears when I find another free download of a photoshop program.  So far, I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 (yes, it is really old...) and Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8 (another older version), Adobe's Artweaver, and now Picasa. The other day I found out what neat things Google's Picasa can do. So I downloaded it. (if you do download it, be warned that it can be a headache and you might end up reinstalling it because you did it all wrong...) Probably my favorite feature is the handy "collage" button. You select the photos, and in one click you have a collage. It takes a few more clicks to get the settings right though. This collage was mady with 250 photos, or something close... The only problem is that with so many photos it makes them really really tiny! Well, they aren't tiny until you resize it... But there was no way I was putting a picture that was abut 5000 pixels wide on my blog! 
Here is another one I made with only pictures of Elisabeth's face.
Speaking of faces, Picasa has the neatest feature where it can sort faces! Its really hard to explain, so if you'd like to read about it, go here: http://picasa.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=93773 Its really good at it too! Only once did it think that Alison was me. :-) Even the computer thinks we're twins! LOL!
This last one is just a few random pictures that I've taken that I really like. I'll probably make quite a few more collages with my pictures! It's really fun!
I've learned a few things about Picasa the hard way, but now that have figured a few things out not to do, I'll never never NEVER do them again! LOL!

Hey People!
Posted By Emily
We've been sooooooooo(ect.) busy! Much has been going on.
In October we had a bit of excitement, we had a couple neighbors visit us, sadly they had to go home after we found out what house they belong to.
Then, in the end of October we went to Oregon for over a week, we all got swine flu, (not fun) we had to cancel some places we were going to go to, wich is a disapointment. We went home a day early, got home on (I think,,,) the 1st of November, stayed one day at home, the next day went to the mountains to hunt. Yesterday we got home with four dead deer, and we will process them today or tomorrow.
So, thats whats been going on! BEEEZY!
Emily
After a day all the older kids and Dad (Anne, Ben, Joe, Eric, Beth, Me, and Kate) went to the mountains to hun |
