A place for all my favorite things: Family, Friends, Books, Cooking, Journaling & just being God's Girl! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/ang3lbaby/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Fri, 16 May 2008 17:27:00 -0500 Fri, 16 May 2008 17:27:00 -0500 Okiedokie, where to start....well, we went on vacation for 2 weeks! *Handy when you're homeschooled* First we went to Williamsburg Virgina, and then we went to Washington D.C.! it was so much fun! I think that my favorite part in D.C. Was when we went on the Metro. *Like a Subway/Train* It was so cool! It was my first time being on a train and/or Subway! It was so much fun! When we were pulling up to a station and it started to slow down, I would try to stay even with whatever was outside, so I would be running through the train looking out the window to see if I was in the same place or not. :oD It was really fun! And of course I didn't do it with many people in the car, only a few were in and usually they were facing the other direction, since they had seats looking South and North, depending on which way the train was going. If that makes any sense. Since it only would go in certain places, and when it reached the last place it's supposed to go, it would go backwards and do the places all over again. It would be doing that all day, that's how people would get from town to town. And it isn't very expensive! So we loved going on it. And for 3 days when we were in D.C. my Grandma and My Uncle Martin came down. It was fun! Except one day when we went out *Dad made us* it was pouring rain! And it was not only wet, but cold, AND Windy! Imagine all of those things together, except put 7 people there also. With 2 large umbrellas. And we walked probably over 20 blocks...So it wasn't very fun. But we got to see alot of things, since we had a personal tour of the Russell building. :oD It was really neat. Dispite the fact that my jeans were wet up to my knees. But they dried off. So we went to all of the places that we wanted to see, and I got to go and see the Declaration of Independance! It's so cool! Has anyone else been to D.C. before? ~Ang3lbaby http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/ang3lbaby/533447/ Fri, 16 May 2008 17:27:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/ang3lbaby/533447/ Well, it seems like it's been FOREVER since I've been on to blog, but I'm bored, so I'll just fill in what someone might want to hear, well, my brother and I are a year older now. :oD And my B-day is coming up soon...and with my birthday, comes the closeness of a book I've been waiting for since January is coming out!!! I can't wait! :oD it's part of a really long series. But My Little sister, Rebecca a while ago had her B-day, she's now 6. :oD She's growing up quickly. So how has everyone been? It's been raining alot over where we live, but I love the rain! (1) Because it brings with it the perfect sound *Except in lightning storms* to fall asleep with, or to curl up with a book and read on your bed... (2) Everything seems to either come alive with some nourishment, or be totally torn because of it, hopefully it's the first one. (3) IT WASHED AWAY THE POLLEN!!! I've been having problems with allergies because of all the pollen that swishes around our area. If you have allergies, this is the last place that you would want to come to. :oD But after a nice rain, everything just comes alive. For grass sometimes you get some nice green grass after a nice rain, or a nice patch of weeds! :oD Right now in our front yard, we have more weeds than grass I think! :oD Well I better go now! ~Ang3lbaby http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/ang3lbaby/510150/ Thu, 3 Apr 2008 19:33:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/ang3lbaby/510150/ Hey guys, lately I've been reading about Moses. The story is AMAZING! Did you know that God almost killed Moses when he was in an inn? Because Moses Hadn't circumsized his son. But his wife took a knife and did it and layed the bit of skin on Moses' feet, and said....well I forgot but I'll get back to it. :o) And you know what? Did you know that In Moses' family line that someone married their father's Sister? Pretty strang huh? I think it would be weird to call your wife, your aunt too! Well, I better go! Tootles! ~Madison http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/ang3lbaby/451513/ Fri, 28 Dec 2007 12:37:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/ang3lbaby/451513/ Hi, that is to whoever wants to take the time to read this, I know I haven't really been up-to-date with you guys! SO I'm sorry! But my little sister's Birthday is tomorrow! The 21st! And she's really excited! She's going to be turning 6! :o) Time sure does fly by doesn't it. Well, seeing how it's been 6 years since I've known her, my heart has once gone hard towards her, then soft. And now I'm experiencing something totally new to me this year! Every time I see her little face, or hear her voice, I'm just blessed that I'm able to say "That's my little sister!" Because I know that we're one of the lucky ones, being able to support 5 people in a family, a good house, and a good education! It's something that we need to be thankful for! Espically having parents, we need to look at our surroundings and think "How can I bless someone with what I have?" Because I want to give you guys a challenge, let's not let Christmas time be only time of giving, but ALL year! Because We weren't meant to have something and keep it hidden for ourselves till it's to late and realize, God gave me these things to use for others, not just me... You could take some of your unused clothes, and give them to people who don't have them, think about it, we're one of the luckiest country's! We have freedom that can reach out to the smallest of God's wonders. This is the time where you have to treat others better than yourself! It should ALWAYS be the time when you think of others better than yourself! Even the people that might treat you like dirt...because if you were in their position wouldn't you want someone to come up to you and say "Hey, would you like to eat lunch together?" Or maybe, to invite them over some time, get to know someone this year! And use God's gifts for others! We need to remember these things as we go through life, because, you never know, when you're up in heaven, some little girl might come up to you and say "Hi, you don't know me, but you helped me come to know Jesus, so thank you..." And others are always watching, so you might effect others by how you act, because wherever you go, you never know, there might be an admirer...:oD And I'll be praying for you all! Have a Good CHRISTmas!

Yesterday I had piano practice! And I finally have the rest of the song I'm working on. Because I'm just now able to read the chords and base thingy...it's really neat! Because one of my other friends who does piano also can't read it. And he's pretty good. So yeah, I get kinda upset when I see that he know's drums, and now he's learning piano. But I guess it's just another one of God's gifts for him...who knows, he might use it in a glorious way! Well, today we went over to our friends house, Jake and Geordon (Pronounced Jordan). Jake's blog is Jdsfrog So the reason why we went over there is because my brother and they play together in the Kids Church band. So it works out well when they can practice together. So yeah, Please leave a comment!!! Thanks a bunch!!!

I've been on here everyday to check my Mail but I don't think about blogging? Isn't that odd? Well here's what's happened lately: 1. My Mom and Ms. Cindy have made a teens blog about some of the things we do in our teen group that they just started. It's an awesome site and they've worked hard to get this far, here's the w-site: www.homeschoolblogger.com/teensontarget 2. Recently 2 of my Friends and my Brother have been except to play in the children's ministry at our church! I'm really proud of them. 3. My Dad has finished the body work on the bug that he's been working on for a long time (Car) 4. I've been praying about whether I should work up In the Children's Ministry the same week as my friends. That way I could have the time I need seeing how Austin's going to be there anyway. So yeah, what's up with you guys? I hope you're family's have been fine! Mine has been doing just great. But I've been praying for the last couple of days whether I should turn in the form to volunteer at the Children's Ministry at our church (Called KPH *Kids power hour*). I haven't really gotten an answer yet but I think I could reach out to kids this way. OMG! A thought just came to me! If God wanted me to work up in KPH he would give me a way. This I believe my friends, that this is a way. If you guys read this, could you please put me in your prayers for reassurance. Thank you! I love you guys! And now I will leave you with the Joke of the day: JOKE OF THE DAY What do you get when you mix a space shuttle, the world encyclopedia, robots, and a big head?
