Family Fun

Christmas is a fun time of year. Hear are a few pictures of the festivities at our house.

Looking out my back window...

finals week

It's been a pretty busy week for Polls and I, there hasn't been much blog posting time. So very sorry!
Thankfully I am only 2 finals more away from christmas break. I plan on sleeping in most every day for those 2 and a half weeks of happiness and doing nothing school related, except maybe researching some history and government stuff for fun. I think I shall read some good books too. I cannot wait!

a new favorite.

Why are you down in the the dumps dear soul?

Why are you crying the blues?

Fix my eyes on God - soon I'll be praising again.

He puts a smile on my face. He's my God.

Psalm 43:5

Happy days and stuff like that.

Some people are glad when they fit into clothes from high school ,
not many though, can fit into costumes from gradeschool :)

you have the talent of making people come to the verge of laughing.
hehe, although becky actualy looks like she is about to eat you, she is actualy very happy.

you pick excellent friends!

High Class for sure!

yup. your my friend and thats the best!

Snow!

Well. It's happened. Snow is here!

And it is super exciting. I may force Luke to go sledding with me.

I did get some pictures of what we have got so far .....

hey, guess what!

Keren, guess what! I can do the loon call! I learned it yesterday in the van on the way home from our basketball game. It took a while and a lot of practice but now I can do it. We should whistle together when we visit each other.
Doing to loon call was on my life's to do list, along with riding in a hot air balloon and some other things. I am excited. Now I can cross one thing off.
How are you this fantabuolly day?

playing outside.

Yesterday was a very nice and lovely day, the perfect day for outside pictures. I ordered Jimmy to take them. He did a splendid job.



It was a fun little 10 minute adventure. We even used Picklewood.

Winter and snow are coming soon and though that is exciting,
I think I will kinda miss the fall.

Fire

on the way to Abbi's house last Friday AM there was a car that was on fire we had to wait for them to stop the fire completely before we could pass but this is what it looked like.
I don't really know anything about if anybody was hurt but i hope not. but we happened to be there so i took pictures. Keren

Not to many posts.

Well I thought that i would post a lot. But i haven't really. so I will post a Whole bunch now :D

Peggy, i think that you should come back with Lori. And I could schedule a few appointments for you.
we have the Grand hunting adventure with Local hunters. whether they know it or not.
and we have the flower picking adventure, which this time of year it really gets to be quite difficult to find flowers, but the absence of things is the mother of invention or something like that. so yup.
and there is always the Tree Climbing with Mud boots.
and then we have countless other things to do,
like tipping goats over. but that is not recommended.
and there is the Custom made adventure.

:) this is only by pre-scheduled appointments so please call. 1-800-123-3456. just kidding. I have never called that number and i don't recommend it. it might be in France or something.

I am going to do more posts. So then it seems as though I am a posty type of person. :)

Hooray for Funny Faces

keren i think you should get a personal jet too. then you could come on our adventures. that would be grand.
i have had lots and lots of adventures this week and a half. the first was a foot ball game in the rain. the next, a movie watching night with molly bea, melissa and the hellers. then followed church and school and basketball. yesterday we had beautiful
adventure too. we climed the hill and twirled and posed while

emily heller took our pictures. yep. life is sweet.

9 ways to be Merry.

Well. I can't post on my computer, but I can on Abbi's. So here it is.
On Fridays I will post.
But yes. I am helping you know how to be happy. Listen up!

1. Wake up on the right side of the bed.
2. Smile at no one in particular.
3. Skip... I think actualy, try frowning and skipping, it is amazing how hard it is. although some are more talented than others.
4. Wiggle your toes.
5. Climb a tree.
6. Wear mudboots. Find a friend and some mud... and go puddle mudding.
7. Take pictures of different things.
8. Be thankful. This one is Quite true.
9. Try to do cartwheels.

yup.... there is lots more ways. but these are among the best :) Keren

Second post...

This is so cool! :) I hardly know what to say for a second post. anyhow. I am going to bake cookies tonight. yes i think that is what i am going to say. I shall

elaborate on that....

I am going to Emily's house to bake them. Lori is going to be there too. and we are going to give some of them away. :) we are going to take them to these cuties

Kendra- in the middle- has cancer. but it looks quite hopeful.

This is a different post and I am not really sure what normal ones look like, but I think this is my normal type... Keren

The first post.

This is the FIRST official post. Welcome to our blog.

Keren had this brilliant idea to make a blog together (she is a smart cookie) and so we did. I think we will both be posting stuff from out different locations. This is going to be fun. So indulge yourself in our random creativeness.
