Picnik-ing

I've always admired people who can edit their pictures to make them look really cool. My friend Emily said she used picnik. So I tried it out and this is the result...sweet I know!!! to say the least..
not as good as my friends! I did my best....I'll have to learn her secrets!

what to write about today...

I got nothing...

it's summer!

Well it's finally summer, schools out and the fun has begun. On Sunday I will be heading downtown for a week for a mission trip with my youth group. We are running a VBS for the kids of Living Hope Ministries and the kids in and around the neighborhood. I'm really excited to leave. We are basically running the whole stinkin' thing! We planned everything, we are the teachers, we do the craft, we give out fliers, we set up, we do everything!

I went to the orthodontist yesterday and Dr. Reese suggested that I do a program called SureSmile. It's a robot that basically bends the wire speciffically to my needs and speeds up the whole process, in most cases 40%!!! I can't really explain it so I'll just give you a link....actually I'm jsut to lazy to explain it so I'll give you a link! You can even see a video of the robot bending the wire!

This summer we will be going to family camp, God willing my dad keeps his job (which is sorta in question at this point) But that's not something I can do anything about so...I digress...
family camp will be fun and then we want to go camping with another family so it's gonna be fun!

Love Comes Softly

When I was in Texas, my grandma turned on the TV before bed and she turned to the Hallmark channel and Love Finds a Home was on, we caught the last ten minutes and then Love Comes Softly came on and I have fallen in love with those movies!!!!

Rockin' Robin Nature Show

This year in our cherry blossom tree out back, we got a Robin's nest and figured there were some eggs there even though we couldn't see them. Well, the other day I was sitting on the couch with my laptop, facing the window looking out at the nest. I see a crow perched right above the nest and I think "oh no!" but I don't do anything...it bends down and pulls out a little blue egg!! I hear lots of tweeting and chirping and I see the momma robin swoop down at the crow but he doesn't even flinch. He fly's out of my view and I'm kinda sad for the little bird, but still I don't do anything, I didn't want to go scare the crow and make him drop the egg on the patio!! Icky! I go back to my work and then 2 minutes later I look out the window, and there is the crow again! He go's down and takes another egg! I seriously don't believe whats going on right before my eyes! There was some more chirping and swooping done by the momma bird and then he fly's out of view! He doesn't come back and neither does the mother robin. After dinner my family was watching TV and my mom mentions the nest....so I tell her what happened and she is sad and I said it was like watching a nature show but live. My mom acted like it was a complete felony and that I had killed the birds myself! I mean, it didn't make any difference that I was sitting there and didn't do anything, it would have happened anyway...I guess she wanted me to do something. I felt bad but it's nature. Yesterday I was outside and my dad was doing yard work and on the rocks under our ferns was a little cracked blue shell.... :(

I just wanted to share this with you...it was just something that happened during my week that I felt like sharing!

So long

Flying By...

I haven't written in a while, sorry about that!
If your wondering why I keep changing my blog address and title, I'm just not happy with what I had before so I change it and probably will keep changing it until I find the perfect one.

changing the subject....


SCHOOLS ALMOST OVER!!!!!! The misery will end on June 3rd! I have to say though that this school year has flown by! I can't wait for summer to be here, camping,(we missed out on that last summer do to a horrible *hail storm) friends, bike rides, sleepovers, I just CAN'T wait :)

*about that hail storm, it ruined the top of our camper and it took way longer than it should have to get replaced.

Volleyball season was great, I had and awesome team and we didn't win all that much but we had fun. At our last tourney we won just 1 match but we had gotten farther in the tournament play than at any other tournament. It was the best! All the screaming and jumping and excitement! it just pumped us up but we lost the next match...oh well!

That's all for now
