Aug. 12, 2009 - Pictures! :D
*hopes this THIRD attempt to post will work*

You saw Larry, now you can see Bob...or one of Bob's brothers. I've had several cherry tomatoes harvested! :D

July 26th
It was International Cup of Tea Day, so Sarah and I had a tea party...please ignore the mess...and the rather goofy hat. We weren't feeling at all serious. ;)
I used my tea cup from Liv and Amy for the first time :D
I made her laugh so hard she cried...I don't even remember half the silly jokes we were telling :P
July 27th
Karah wanted her own tea party, so Sarah and I did one with her that night as well

Princess and Rocky
July 29th
A close-up of the fabric I used for Sarah's skirt
July 30th
Moriah was telling Micah not to touch Rocky, and the next instant Rocky bit her ankle (he was playing, so she's ok ;)). lol
July 31st
Not only did I clean my ENTIRE room (closet included! :D), but I went through all my letters and got rid of some from girls I don't write to anymore (mostly girls that friendships ended).
This is the folder of all my letters from Sam...I'm thinking I might need to get a different folder soon ;)
I meant to get a picture of all my other folders with letters from everyone else, but it was devotion time right after I got that one done, so I forgot :(
I did get a picture of the pile of torn up letters that went in the trash, though
August 1st
I got a package from BethNell in the mail! :D She sent me Now and Laters...heh. They're the first thing on my list of foods not to eat (from the orthodontist), but I ate them anyway. *runs and hides* I ONLY sucked on them, though...I didn't chew them. AND I brushed my teeth very well afterwards. :P PLUS!!! I shared some of them with the rest of the family. :D 
She also sent me a framed picture of us from last year at camp! :D
Nothing drives me to wear those horrid glasses like sewing by hand. :(
August 2nd
*cough* In an instant of miscommunication, Micah got into some mischief....this is what he did to the laptop. He also poured a whole bottle of dish detergent all over the kitchen floor...we're still cleaning spots of white. :/
August 3rd
A cheese and lettuce sandwich on air (aka a store bought hamburger bun). Delish.

A clay butterfly...I was bored :)
August 6th
He's so funny when he sleeps :P
August 7th
Quick self-portrait while waiting for Sarah...
Modeling her new skirt...probably one of my favorites of the ones I've made
Another one...
August 8th
Sarah wrote a letter to one of her favorite authors (Wendy Lawton, author of the Daughters of the Faith series), and the lady actually wrote her back, with an autographed copy of one of her books! :D She was ecstatic!
August 9th
We celebrated Micah's birthday on Sunday, since I had to work on Monday :)
He wasn't too sure of what to do at first...
But then he got to blow the candle out...happiness :D
Daddy helped him break the brownie up into smaller bites
PRICELESS!!!! lol
He was elated to find out that when you have a birthday, you get to open presents ;)
Mom and Dad bought him a camera that plays music....it's definitely his favorite toy now. He kept walking around "taking pictures" of everybody! lol
"Haha! I got Bubby!"
I love his grin :D
Afterwards, we went outside...Sarah wanted to take a picture of my new dress :)
August 10th
Before going to his doctor's appointment...goofy :D

Jun. 28, 2009 - And now...
for all those pictures I was supposed to post yesterday. Apparently, when I uploaded them to photobucket yesterday afternoon, they all got resized to the smallest size, so I had to wait until today to redo them all. :) So there's your explanation. :P

June 24th
*sigh* Every little kid does it at some point in their life...and now Micah has done it as well. Sarah left the make-up that she uses for play on the floor in Mom and Dad's room. When Moriah and I went in there, we found Micah putting it on. :P
He wasn't too excited about having it washed off, and getting the classic lecture "Boys don't wear make-up: only girls do!"
June 25th
Poor fly got caught in the spider's web. :(
June 26th
Another of Micah's "business cards"...this time it's more like a diploma :P

Jun. 28, 2009 - Fashion Day 4

Jun. 28, 2009 - Fashion Day 2
Here's Day 2:
Yes, I'm wearing the same shirt from the previous day. :P But I LOVE it! :)
What I'm Wearing:
Black and White Shirt- Energie from Kohl's $6
Jeans-Lee from thrift store... $2??
Scarf- Made by my sister Sarah :)
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE- NO, I did NOT cut my hair...it just looks shorter because the scarf was wrapped around it, making it SEEM shorter. ;) Just wanted to make that clear...

Jun. 27, 2009 - Fashion Day 1
Here they are! :D
So here's my outfit for Day One.
Black and White shirt- Energie from Kohl's $6 (I love clearance racks!)
Jean Skirt- Gasoline (I didn't name it!!! :P) from GoodWill for $3.75
Black ballet flats- No Boundaries from Wal-Mart for $10
Cross of the Fellowship Necklace- Voice of the Martyrs for free with the Foxe's Martyrs book
Sunglasses- Escada, given to me by Mrs. Lori, who I babysit for :D I would never have bought them myself...they're expensive!! :P
This is actually one of my favorite outfits...I wear it pretty frequently. :) It's very comfortable, and the fact that the shirt has the cami actually ATTACHED to the shirt, makes it MUCH cooler to wear. ;) I try to stay modest at all times, but sometimes it gets very depressing having to wear a cami PLUS a shirt in this heat! :) So yeah, I love to find shirts that are already layered.

Jun. 25, 2009 - Fashion Week
I know I know...I owe you all another photo post! ;) I do have a bunch of pictures I want to share, but I won't be able to do so until the weekend.
However.....
I wanted to let you all know (a little belatedly) that it's Fashion Week over at AmandaBeth Online!! Even if you don't do it on the same days that the official week is being done (June 21st- 27th), it's still a fun thing to do and I encourage every girl to give it a try. :) To find out more, go here to read the post about it.
I'm currently participating and getting pictures together...I'll post my whole week of pictures on Saturday! :)

Jun. 1, 2009 - Sorry if you have dial-up....
I really really am! :/ I didn't realize just how many pictures I actually had (despite the fact I didn't have the camera for 10 days!)!!! :)
The pictures in the beginning have lines/are a little bright, but the ones towards the end are after we got the camera fixed :D
April 20th- That was the day I had four teeth pulled, so Karah and Sarah made me some get well cards/bookmarkers. :)
April 21st-I found someone's half-eaten cookie...not good for me that day ;)
April 22nd- Princess sleeping
April 23rd-Less swelling in my face (yay!) after the dentist ordeal
April 24th- Rocky :)
April 25th-A book I got in the mail :D

May 1st-Mikey :)
May 2nd-A picture Dad took in a park we went to with my photography class :D (and no, we did not put the leaves there...we found them exactly like that :P)
Official May 2nd picture-If only the camera had been fixed then...I got several shots that I would LOVE if they looked like they should! :(
I found this rose on a bench, upside down, with raindrops all over it! :)
There was a children's garden that had a HUGE wooden "spiderweb" with this HUGE black spider on it...good thing it's fake ;)
The birds were really brave....I was able to get pretty close to this one :)
There was also this huge oak tree, with a sign near it that said it had been standing at least since the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776!!!!! I got a picture of Dad in front of it :)

And the "after" shot of Moriah's new haircut :) Don't she look perty? ;)
May 8th- He loves spaghetti sauce! :D
May 9th- we celebrated Sarah's birthday, and I made her cake...probably my worst cake job ever *wrinkles nose*
Moriah got sunburned pretty badly that morning...she nearly matched her shirt! :) (She's all better now, and uses sunscreen religiously :P)
May 10th- Dad got some snap-dragons for Mom for Mother's Day :D
Ok, so, here's the deal....I got really tired of my pictures turning out like those ones, so between May 11 and May 27, I didn't take hardly any pictures...and the ones I took I'm not even going to bother posting. May 18-27, Canon had the camera and was fixing it, but when I got it back, I took TONS of pictures to make up for the two weeks I didn't. ;) So....here are some of the "make-up" pictures :)
Watching "I Love Lucy"....
"Hello?"

Ok, now back to "regular" photos :)

May 29th- Raindrop on a plant :)
Micah loves to play down near the creek, and throw rocks in the water. Too bad there's snakes down there now. :P
"Who cares what Hannah says about getting my shoes wet? I'll get in the water anyway!" (He didn't...I made him stop :P)
"But see Hannah? The water is clean!" (So?!)
*humph*
We ran to meet the mail lady, who had a package for me (which Micah insisted on carrying inside :))
This was in the package...thank you Amy!!!! :D
Moriah did a photoshoot with me.. :)
The mosquitoes tried to eat me!
But all was well in the end...
May 30th- Jeremy had baseball games that Saturday, and I went along to try some action photography. I'll stick with portraits and nature-it's way too stressful to try to catch every good play. :P
It's an umbrella with legs!!
Nope...just Micah :D
Doing fielding practice before the first game
Doing their little team huddle thing :P
Jeremy swinging the bat...I think he missed on that one (he got some pretty good hits other times, though :D)

Happy Birthday Sarah!

Apr. 23, 2009 - Pictures
All the pictures are a little smaller than I normally post them...I think they got compressed when I put them in Photobucket. :( Sorry!
Saturday, April 4th:
The first day of my photography class: we were doing portraits, but I managed to sneak in a couple flower shots :P
Sunday, April 5th:
The first one of Moriah's soccer game that I got to go to. :) I thought it was funny that the two girls were practically in the same position...Moriah is on the left in the yellow shirt
Monday, April 6th:
Sarah, Karah and I enjoying the sunny weather
Karah :)
Tuesday, April 7th:
Dad took this one of the gorgeous sunset! :D
Wednesday, April 8th:
Moriah caught Rocky sleeping the the babydoll stroller
Thursday, April 9th:
Micah making one of his concoctions
Friday, April 10th:
A mark of true love...I didn't burn (or harm in any way...unless you count accidentally leaving it out in the rain :P) this shirt while I had it for a photoshoot! It's hard sometimes being a Duke fan in the UNC family :P
da bench...a photo for my "homework"
He was being a total goofball :P
Saturday, April 11th:
The inside of one flower...taken during my class' trip to the local garden :)
Probably my favorite from that day...a tulip from a different angle :)
Can you tell she's into photography? One of the other students got a much better picture of a whole bunch of us photogs all in a row on the ground taking pictures...hilarious! :)
Another tulip
And another...this time a different point of view
There was water inside this one, which I thought was neat! :)
This daffy had a lot of dirt on it...playing in the mud again
There was a little boy who brought his six colored baby chicks with him (which, by the way, I consider animal cruelty and don't endorse it...even though they may be cute). The red one started falling asleep in his hands :)
Sunday, April 12th:
I found a purple flower...need I say more? ;)
Monday, April 13th:
Karah found them too :P
She also ran for me while I practiced pictures of moving subjects :)
Tuesday, April 14th:
Micah was trying to do dishes...while singing and dancing to the Newsboys on the radio :D
Then his attention got caught by something on tv
Wednesday, April 15th:
Moriah did some pictures to *hopefully* use for my senior portraits...these were the three best :)
(my favorite) :)
Thursday, April 16th:
Dinner= Taco pie....
and a yummy Quiche! :D
Friday, April 17th:
Waiting for Mommy to get home from grocery shopping...he was a little sleepy :)
Penny, happy that the window was open for her to sun-bathe ;)
That afternoon, Sarah did some spinning for me...this is my favorite of those pictures :)
Another photo for "homework"...Karah and Sarah had arranged their flowers, and I snapped some pictures before they picked them back up :)
Saturday, April 18th:
One of the few pictures I got before the camera went crazy and started making everything too bright :(
See how bright it is? I even under-exposed it as far as the camera would go...and, there're lines through the picture...I can take pictures indoors fine, but in the sunlight or even shady areas they turn out like this...still trying to solve this problem. :( If you've ever had this problem, please let me know what you did to fix it, or if it was a problem inside the camera!!!
Sunday, April 19th:
A leaf on Mom's Stevia plant...she was really happy when Dad brought it home from one of his co-workers! :) She likes to use Stevia to sweeten things in place of regular sugar...it's actually pretty good :)

Wednesday, March 25th:
I got some of the things I ordered! :D I customized the postcards, the pen, and the notepad...I was really happy to get lots of stuff really inexpensively (I got a bunch of other stuff like two car magnets with Christian messages, some address labels, and 'business cards' which I turned into tracts :))
Thursday, March 26th:
Micah snacked on popcorn while watching something with the boys :D
Amelia's Mom (Moriah and I babysit Amelia) gave each of us some totally natural, all organic chapstick! I think she said her aunt makes it...it's really good! :D
Friday, March 27th:
Micah and Moriah :)
Listening to Moriah's ipod while I played a game :P
Saturday, March 28th:
I know it's not a great picture, but it was the best of all of them...they both wanted held at the same time, which is unusual. :D Dad got stuck with Rocky though, who decided a little early that he wanted down. ;)
Whoa! What a face! :D Karah got a little too close when Sarah was taking a picture
I thought the glow around his head was rather interesting...
Writing a letter to Sam :) I hope to finish it soon!!

From our neighbors' daffodil patch :)
Josiah had ALL the toppings for nachos in front of him :D
Monday, March 9th:
No, I did not leave my hair looking like that to go to work...those EZ combs take a bit of practice ;) (and yes, I'm eating a hotdog! :P)
Tuesday, March 10th:
It was warm out, so Moriah and I worked in the garden...brown was my color, even my flip-flops were brown ;)
Wednesday, March 11th:
Climbing the couch to get me :)
Thursday, March 12th:
The robins came out in full force, even though it was raining (and has been ever since)
Friday, March 13th:
The hat I have to wear for work (bleh!), and my favorite "work" shirt :)
Saturday, March 14th:
I guess using the treadmill makes her nose itch ;) Not a great picture...
Sunday, March 15th:
The donation peoples didn't come on Friday night, so I brought home the bagels...there's another few bags on the freezer door, plus we've eaten about 5 of the bags (they only hold about 6, so ;)
Our freezer is stuffed
Monday, March 16th:
Mom bought these on Friday! :D I'm hoping to plant them tomorrow

Mar. 3, 2009 - Snow, and other pictures from this week
Monday, February 23rd:
Micah likes lining up cars :)
Tuesday, February 24th:
The dress I made for myself...the only thing I'm not satisfied with is the sleeves, which I will be fixing ;)
A better look at the fabric
Wednesday, February 25th:
Karah blowing me a kiss :)
I played basketball with Josiah and Judah since we got a basketball hoop/stand thing :D
As usual, Micah ran off to the swings :P
Our first flowers of the year!
Friday, February 27th:
Karah woke up feeling sick, and Micah was trying to comfort her :)
He looks sleepy...
He WAS sleepy :P He fell asleep in my lap and took a good hour long nap while Mom was out grocery shopping
Later that night, he decided he would butter his own bread ;)
Saturday, February 28th:
Trying to bribe me for the camera
Sunday, March 1st:
Roses, even while dying, are beautiful :)
Monday, March 2nd:
It snowed Sunday evening and through the night, leaving us with LOTS of snow! :D
Dad played with us for a little while in the morning before leaving for work...
All white...isn't it gorgeous?!
Micah got his first taste of snow!
And he didn't like it :(
The front steps covered in snow
Tuesday, March 3rd:
Monday night Dad bought sleds on his way home from work, so we spent much of the evening trying them out on the hills next to the house. I didn't get pictures from Monday night (batteries in the camera died), but we did get some this morning while Moriah and I went sledding :D
Moriah flying down the hill...she prefers the blue one, which goes slower :P
The red one is much faster...my favorite! :D :P
The creek at the bottom of the hill does add a bit of danger, but it's fun to see how close you can get before stopping. :D (No clue who the other kids in the picture are...they've been sledding in the neighbors' yard a lot since it snowed :/)
She sort of abandoned ship a little early :D
Me with our tiny snowman that Josiah, Judah and I made on Monday...it would've been a lot bigger, but this isn't good packing snow :(

Feb. 27, 2009 - *is speechless*
After trying for months to successfully write a persuasive paper on abortion (not to mention hours of research), I've given up. Not because I think it's a worthless cause (on the contrary, it's one of the most valuable) or a hopeless endeavor, but because this girl has done a much better job than I ever could, so I'll leave it all up to her. Seriously, this girl deserves some applause for her speech. She's very well researched; she gets five stars from me! :) Please, take 5 minutes to watch it, it's well worth your time! :)

Feb. 22, 2009 - Valentine's Day and the Tea Party
Thursday, February 12th:
A shot from the walk Moriah, Sarah and I took that afternoon
Friday, February 13th:
"Ooh, is that the button you push?"
Saturday, February 14th:
Valentine's cupcakes that I decorated using the leftover hearts from the cake I made
Also from Valentine's Day...
Mom and Dad ate dinner (just the two of them!) here at home, while the boys were on the computers downstairs, and we girls kept Micah busy upstairs watching VeggieTales Silly Songs on Youtube :D
While they went out for dessert and shopping, we played with the candy sweethearts they gave us :D
He kept looking away when I tried to take this one :P
Sunday, February 15th:
We all got small boxes of chocolates...it's an easy guess who this one belongs to ;) (Hint: ME)
Monday, February 16th:
This brown and pink fabric turned into.....
Tuesday, February 17th:
This dress for Moriah...which I ended up shortening a few inches because she didn't like the length. :P
Wednesday, February 18th:
Basically my whole day was spent sewing, so this was my relaxation in the evening (before another 3 1/2 hours of sewing!)...that was when the diningroom was still bare :D
Thursday, February 19th:
Not my 'official' photo for the day...Mom, Moriah, Sarah, Karah, Micah and I all went to my friend Rachel's house (an hour and a half away) for a special Valentine's Tea Party...I had fun getting pictures of the mountains on our way :D
At the tea party...my friend Stephanie (you'll see her in a minute) and her mom were there...and brought little Hannah along with them! :D I got to hold her for a few minutes...isn't she adorable?!?
Micah and I with Stephanie :D (note his horrified expression...he wasn't thrilled about being the only male amongst so many women!)
Stephanie's place card
Moriah, listening to the ladies talk (that was one of the fun parts...listening to the adults' conversations ;)
My tea cup
The girls' table...the Moms sat at another table :D
Candles...
We all had to laugh when we met Rachel's cat (hee...her name is Mabel Tribulation, which means Lovable Trouble...and I can see why ;)....she looks just like our cat Princess! :D
Rachel's sister Abigail, and Moriah
Holly (a friend of Rachel's family), myself and Rachel :)
Sarah wearing the Regency dress I made her the night before
Karah adored playing with Hannah :D
Mom (second from the right) with some of the ladies...ok so we spied on them and listened in to their conversations...a lot...it was fun though! :D
Sarah and Rachel's youngest sister, Rebekah
The five of us...
All of the girls in attendance plus one of the ladies...Mrs. C holding Hannah, Stephanie, Holly and Rachel, and in the front, Sarah, Karah, Abigail, Moriah and Rebekah
And one final picture from the day...
Friday, February 20th:
Karah spinning (note the interesting fashion sense this little girl has ;)
Saturday, February 21st:
Dad was able to find a table for the computers, so now the schoolroom is like a little library :D (one of the monitors is absent because he was testing his Mac computer with it at the moment)
Sunday, February 22nd:
The diningroom is no longer bare: we have a table! :D So no more cramming around the dinner table for meals ;)

Feb. 11, 2009 - :D
Tuesday, February 3rd:
Some more from the 3rd, since it snowed that night. :D
The snow as it was coming down...so pretty
Josiah, Moriah and I went outside to take some pictures, and we ended up having a small snowball fight (all of us kids had a fight on the deck earlier in the evening, but we managed to sneak out with just the three of us)
Here Josiah dodges my ball :D
Always watch over your shoulder ;)
I got Josiah :D And yes, I did go outside in just the t-shirt and jeans ;)
Wednesday, February 4th:
We wore coats and winter stuff in the morning, though ;)
That evening I had to make some candy hearts for a cake I was making today (they have to harden for about a week), and since Karah and I were snacking on chocolate chips, I made a heart on one :D
Karah likes to watch when I do cake stuff
Look who we found sleeping in the Aldi bags :D
Thursday, February 5th:
I was very excited to find these in my mail!!! :D And, they sent the necklace for free!!
I'm going to watch it soon, Sam! :)
Riah :D
Friday, February 6th:
Just one for today...
My late-night snack after coming home from work :D If you ever go in to Panera, get the Bear Claw. It's my favorite pastry :D
Saturday, February 7th:
Sleeping in the sunbeams :)
Sunday, February 8th:
The three of us, all ready for church :) I had to use the self-timer to get it, and forgot to crop it before putting it in photobucket, thus the awful picture ;)
After church, Sarah, Karah and I went outside for pictures...I couldn't get Moriah to join us :(
Sarah's quite the natural (if a bit vain) model ;) *hides from Sarah* :D Love you sis! :P
Karah and I...I never realized how dreadfully my eyes look when I've got a bad cold :/
Sarah took one of the creek :D
Monday, February 9th:
Ever since we moved in, we've been finding treasures the old owners left behind on the kitchen cabinets...Josiah found this copy of "The Old Curiosity Shop" by Dickens that morning when he was putting away some dishes, and I snatched it up...does anyone know if it's a good story (as in, clean, and such)? :) It's in really good condition, so if it's not got anything objectionable I'm definitely going to keep it (unless Dad wants it...have to ask him ;))
Awwwwww!!! Doesn't his grin just make you smile? :D
"Ahhhh!! Can you see my teef?"
Tuesday, February 10th:
Micah decided he would only eat the peas if Karah fed them to him :)
Wednesday, February 11th:
Since I don't even know their last names, I don't think they'll mind me not blotting out their names in the picture ;) This is the wedding shower cake I made for some friends of a friend, for a shower at her workplace :D
This is what all those hearts were for that I made last Wednesday....I still have probably over 200 left, which I'll probably use to decorate some cupcakes and such ;) Everyone has been eating them like candy (which they are, but...), so we'll see if I actually have any left by the end of the week! ;)
Moi with my "artwork"
My new necklace from Cathy....I love it :D In Sepia...
Black and White
And natural :)
She's gonna kill me, but I can't resist a little blackmail. ;) We're up in my room while the boys and Mom and Dad watch "The Incredible Hulk" (seriously, can you blame us?), and, uh, Sarah got a little carried away. ;)
IMPORTANT NOTICE: She does not have any piercings on her body. She simply knows how to manipulate very flimsy plastic pieces of jewelry...in a very disturbingly weird sort of way.
Moriah with her necklace from Cathy :D
Yet again....she can be so crazy sometimes
HannahBeth and Moriah :)
PEACE! :D
And normal ;)
Sarah and Moriah :D
And that's all! :D
