What a Hose Will Do To Your Day

It was hot outside..... but what a beautiful day...... we were all bored..... an awesome cousin had just left after staying almost a week with us for VBS. :(  I will post about our wonderful week together very soon.

So after wandering around the house what seemed to be a million times a sibling had an idea to try using a ball pump to to blow up our bike tires because our bike pump broke.  That didn't work so we looked at a mattress pump.  It had a bike feature on it!  Mom pumped up everyone's bikes.  We started riding them.... it was just too hot.  So for the third day in a row we got out the hose except this time our fantastic cousin wasn't here to enjoy the cool showers with us. :(

Long story short..... it's amazing what a little hose will do to your day!

Eden and Ava

There is something about photo shoots that makes me excited.  This one made me especially excited because the pictures turned out great, and the girls that I took the pictures of are some of my dearest friends!

This is Eden!  She is sooooo sweet!

Isn't she beautiful?

She loves gymnastics!

In the background is Eden's sister Ava.  Ava is also a wonderful friend.

Thanks so much for letting me take these photos girls!

Fascinating and Frightening Friday!

Many people have been doing awkward and awesome posts but, I made my own: Fascinating and Frightening Fridays!

Fascinating:

> Getting this post on after a BUSY nonstop day!
> The Wright Academy's last day of school!
> Having an amazing dinner with some friends.
>  Eating out for lunch.  Celebration for last day of school.
>  Staying up late and sleeping on the couch.  Another way to celebrate last day of school!
>  After Molly asked the millionth time this week: "Can you pway wif me?"  Answering her : "After today, I won't have school for close to three months.  Then I will play with you!




Frightening:

> While waiting on mom and dad in the car, me and my siblings randomly singing and drumming to the radio... AND recording it. !!???

> It's our last day of school ALREADY?
> Getting sunburnt. :(
>  Being super stuffed full of an awesome meal.
> Sweeping out the garage.
> Our NONSTOP.... BUSY day!!





I hope you enjoyed this post.  What has been Fascinating or Frightening about your day?

New Page

Hi,  It has been a super long time and we have been so busy.  I have figured out a solution though.  Yes, I will try to post more often.  Also, I am going to make a new page.  It is going to be called: Hilarious Happenings!  What is it for?  Well, lately I have found weird "pictures" just laying around the house.  Example: A baseball glove on top of a church bulletin.  I didn't put it there.  Another Example: Mom's reading glasses and Kate's play glasses side by side on the countertop.  Once again, I didn't set it up.  I have been wishing that I would have taken a picture of each of these and posted it as a time filler on my blog, but I just didn't get around to it.  So from now on, anytime I see things like these, I will take a picture and post it on this New Page.  I hope you like it!  I hope to post again soon!

MOOsic to My Ears!

I am going to post a birthday blog soon but in the mean time I thought I should post something since it's been a while!

This post is going to be about music.

Music to Me
by Megan

Music to me is like tulips to roses
Music to me is like polish on your toes (es)
Music to me is like lightening to thunder
Music to me is like flip-flops to summer
Music to me is like ocean and sand
Music to me is like saying I can!
The best part of music is being able to express myself
AND...
That's what music is to ME!

Here are some pictures that I think say MUSIC!

When looking at pics be sure to listen to the Entertainer.

Oh Yeah!  Toy Story definitely get's credit for putting music in their movies.  One word..... Squeaky! :)

Have a great weekend!  Check back soon!

Two Awesome Conferences

These past two weekends, (or so) I have attended two wonderful conferences. The first one was YOUTHANASIA (dying to self, living for Jesus, changing the world.)  It was held at our church.  It was a blast.  We played four square too!  Some topics that we learned about were leadership, and spiritual gifts.  We got to spend the weekend with some of our friends and we had an awesome time.

The second conference was the Great Homeschool Convention in SC.  We learned a lot and we got to meet some exciting people.  One exciting person that we got to meet was Andrew Pudewa who teaches IEW (Institute for Excellence in Writing) through video.  We got to do IEW with our homeschool group and I enjoyed it a lot. The second exciting person we got to meet was Jim Weiss who does audio stories for Great Hall Productions.  He was Cole's favorite.  The third exciting person we got to meet was Monica Irvine from the Etiquette Factory.  We learned some new manners and reviewed some old ones with her.  Another exciting person I got to hear speak on purity was Sarah Mally who wrote Before You Meet Prince Charming.  This book is aimed for younger girls (11,12, 13 yrs.) because a lot of other books on purity are very detailed.  Older girls can read it too though.  I snagged a copy of this book and I am greatly enjoying it so far.  The Great Homeschool Convention was a very exciting conference that I enjoyed for my first time.  

I hope this catches you up a little bit on what I have been up to recently.  Have a super weekend.
