I am a god-fearing Christian girl who loves her family. I am the oldest of 7! Me(16), Jones(7), KP(5), Fritz(3), Smoochie(1) and one Little "Ms.Peach" born Jan.8th! I love photography and missonary work! My dream is to travel the world with my husband and family and tell people the good news about Christ by being a missionary. I'm also PRO-life! Against abortion, birth control, etc.! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Pearlspot/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Mon, 1 Sep 2008 17:21:00 -0500 Mon, 1 Sep 2008 17:21:00 -0500 so where is the cooler weather?!?! That's what I wanna know! Blah, icky hot weather go away! Someday I hope I live where is is cooler and doesn't get so hot.*giggles* And where it snows! Okay I'll stop whining now.     Can you believe it is September ALREADY? I cannot. It seems like we just started August! But here it is September 1st. *whew* Happy Labor Day as well! ------ This month: Jones is turning eight years old on the 28th! *faints* That is also unbelievable! On the 11th we (me, Jones, KP, & fritzy) start ballet again. We have been out of ballet for over a year because of finances and car issues. But now those issues are better, Dad's truck is fixed and we have the family SUV back so we can use that. And the classes are free, but the gas got SO high in price we just couldn't do it. I cannot wait to return! The girls don't know about it yet and Fritzy never has because last time he was too young for the class, but even as a baby he LOVED dancing, watching it, trying to sneak into the class to try it alongside his sisters. *giggles* Now he has his chance to do it. I hope he likes it. I wonder what smooch will think he is too young for now but I wonder if he will be as interested as Fritzy was at his age or if he will not pay any attention. I'll try to take pics. or ask mom to, but no promises. Not sure what else is going to happen for the rest of the month except I'll still be doing school. I forgot what day I'll be stopping exactly for my "summer" break. But I'll have to ask mom again. *giggles*     That's all for now.... ~*~Megan~*~ http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Pearlspot/582867/ Mon, 1 Sep 2008 17:21:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Pearlspot/582867/ More of my fav. movies!       http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Pearlspot/582866/ Fri, 29 Aug 2008 22:19:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Pearlspot/582866/ okay I know this is not a good habit but it was soo funny! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Pearlspot/582865/ Thu, 28 Aug 2008 20:18:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Pearlspot/582865/ All the below are my very fav. movies!   http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Pearlspot/582863/ Thu, 28 Aug 2008 16:16:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Pearlspot/582863/ We went to see it today...IT WAS SOOOOOO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!     All the kiddos loved it so did the adults! *giggles* Gram, Poppy, and Drew went too. Now we are quoting the movie.     Jones piped up just as we got home that she was hungry (even thought she has JUST eaten a full meal! This is a shocking development). Mom said: "You don't need to eat, it's time for bed". And Drew said: "You are not allowed to eat". Mom just started laughing (It's a qoute from the movie). Jones rolled her eyes. We loved how they didn't let the bad guy become good, and how the "master" didn't die. It was great. IF you have not seen it you MUST if you like to laugh which I'm guessing everybody does! We all love Jack Black, and Jackie Chan was in it which I had no idea until I read the credits (we all like him too). Below are some picture from the movie and movies we like with Jack Black in them!     Pics from the movie: Monkey (Jackie Chan), Viper (Lucy Liu), Po (Jack Black), Shifu (Dustin Hoffman), and Tai Lung (bad guy---Ian McShane)   Tigress (Angelina Jolie) Mantis (Seth Rogen) Po everyone (you can see "Crane" (David Cross) in the backround but it's hard to see)     Other movies that I recommend that have Jack Black in them (that I've seen or mom has) (it says "coming soon" but it's been out for over a year in DVD) The Holiday   That's all that I can remember. *giggles* He is so funny! And a really good actor.     ~*~Megan~*~ http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Pearlspot/582862/ Tue, 26 Aug 2008 22:15:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Pearlspot/582862/ Hullo all! I realized today that I haven't updated with my progress with wieght loss. I have been struggling with it, but I am determined to not let my wieght get the better of me. Through a lot of prayer, work, dieting, extercise (yes, extercise you do have to do it) I walk everyday, going to try to ride my bike again because I have lost more wieght that way. But helping my dad with lawns has helped more than I ever thought it would. I started out at 163 lbs around age 15 or so, which I felt terrible at an outgrew my fav. clothes and just felt icky about myself. Today I am 144.2 pounds My goal is 125-120 What helps: I drink water 3-4 glasses everyday, I only have dessert once a week, try to eat low-fat foods, I should eat more veggies but I just can't seem to get used to them yet but that would help. Though I've gotten out-of-practice with it. I started riding my bike once during the day (this works for me, but walking for 30 min EVERY DAY will help you might not think it will but TRUST me it will!) at LEAST around the block then after I've done that for about a week I go for 2 blocks and so on and so forth. I also have walk to because I pick up a girl from school who lives nearby to my house and her school is 2-3 blocks from my house. I'm not so good about walking on the weekends because I get badly bitten during the summer, once it gets colder and I won't get bitten, I will. Just be determined and pray for God to help you make this change if you are trying to do the same!     I praise God for my weight loss! Since I have lost wieght, I can fit into my more favoraite clothes and have gotten too small for my bigger clothes! I still have some wieght to lose I know but since I HAVE lose wieght I know it is NOT impossible! I cannot tell you how great it feels to be able to give my clothes away that are too big!!! Mom has also lost wieght she is fit into clothes she couldn't get into 6 months ago! We're both so happy and are countiuning to lose wieght. It is possible! Pray to God for the strength to lose wieght and He will! YOU just have to make the steps to let Him help you! I hope I have encouraged you to start trying if you are overwieght.     Here is a website for over-wieght teens and pre-teens to help each other out in the fight for weight loss! www.blubberbuster.com     ~*~Megan~*~ http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Pearlspot/582860/ Wed, 27 Aug 2008 11:41:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Pearlspot/582860/ He just loves playing with and holding his little sister (with A LOT of supervison of course, giggles) he is so sweet and gentle and holds he softly but firmly and I don't think he has ever hurt her. Such a sweet boy. I'm sorry so many of them are sideways! Grrrrrr.     He is a great big brother, and loves being one. So we have our baby boy and baby girl....giggles.... ~*~Megan~*~ http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Pearlspot/582858/ Tue, 26 Aug 2008 09:09:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Pearlspot/582858/ You Are 80% Real You know who you are, and you're pretty darn comfortable with yourself. Like everyone, you struggle with the parts of yourself that aren't so great... But you're good at accepting who you are and not dwelling on your faults. As a result, you're confident, optimistic, and very real. http://www.blogthings.com/howrealareyouquiz/ to funny!     You Are Coke A true original and classic, you represent the best of everything you can offer. Just the right amount of sweet, just the right amount of energy... you're the life of the party.

And look at the name of the book he is holding...giggles fritzy in full...giggles   hiding from the camera... fritzy again... such boys! goofing around.... My family is sometimes from a book of funnies! Such sillys.....     Speaking of funnies....tomorrow we are all going to go see "Kung Fu Panda" sooo looking forward to this! Jack Black is so funny. We're looking forward to that. Anybody seen it?     Prayers: I'm asking prayers for my mom, she is under the attack of the devil, spirtually she is tired. She will be alright but all prayers would be welcome and appreciated. Daddy's job is going great as a praise to God! In another 2 months he could be up for a raise which is very much needed, because even with VERY CAREFULL budgeting by mom, we are short every week a few hundred dollars which God has blessed us with being able to usually meet with mowing lawns (which is his side business), but lawns are seasonal and once that stops for the winter we will need that raise or he will have to work a second job which would be hard on everyone. We can only trust in God and follow His will.     till next time.... http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Pearlspot/582856/ Sun, 24 Aug 2008 22:07:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Pearlspot/582856/ Today daddy fixed Fritz and Smoochie's light switch because the old one had not been working to turn it on and off. sorry that a lot of the pictures are sideways!
