Reformation Day...part 3

The Reformation Trivia Competition was extremely interesting and entertaining to watch! This is the only good picture I got...Mr. B had an awesome set up!

The guys played some football...
Joshua was cute...
And some of the girls enjoyed watching the football game.


I. love. shadows.


And folks, that brings us to the end of the Reformation Day 2009 series! Thanks for looking and come again soon!

"There's so much to be thankful for..."

"Thankful"

Somedays we forget
To look around us
Somedays we can't see
The joy that surrounds us
So caught up inside ourselves
We take when we should give.

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be.
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see.
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for.

Look beyond ourselves
There's so much sorrow
It's way too late to say
I'll cry tomorrow
Each of us must find our truth
It's so long overdue

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be
And every day we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for.

Even with our differences
There is a place we're all connected
Each of us can find each other's light

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though this world needs so much more

There's so much to be thankful for

-Thankful, Josh Groban

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?

Happy birthday, Chris!

Love you lots!!

Gutters, randmomness, life.

I have been requested to post on my blog. I was told that gutters are interesting, so lets see what I can think of to say about them.

Did you know that the gutter by our front porch is crushed?? A few years ago, I think a car ran into it, resulting in a gutter that looks like a piece of metal that is...crushed. It's a sad gutter. I'm not sure if it actually helps any. We have another one on the side of our house that is NOT crushed, and it works. It's a good gutter.

MOVING ON, here are some quotes from the last few weeks around our house.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" You didn't know that Google Reader is the eighth wonder of the world?"

"Epic fail."

"Score!"

"My name is Wenneveria."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recently, I found out that sitting in broken chairs does not end very well. It almost seems like one second I was at the dinner table, and the next second I was on the floor. Not sure what went wrong.

To the person who said I should post, I hope you enjoyed this. Thank you.

Reformation Day...part 2

Favorite picture of the day. This one turned out so. adorable.
Second favorite.







Love this shot...even if it's not a Nikon. :)


Saturday started off with a turkey shoot...I wasn't planning on shooting, but it turned out to be lots of fun!

Next up, part 3!

Happy birthday, Daniel!

I love you!

Reformation Weekend...part 1

There were several contests through out the weekend, one of which was the Diet of worms for the younger children. Hannah wasn't quite sure if she liked it or not.


Since Blogger has such a weird way of doing pictures, it will probably take several posts to cover everything. Next up, Reformation Weekend part 2...hopefully longer than this one!

Ode to click pencils

I'd like to take a moment to praise whoever was so genius enough to invent the click pencil.

Although quite simple in looks, the click pencil has many intricate details. For instance, who would have thought of a slot to replace lead, so that you never run out? Brilliant.

Who would have been so keen to realize that we all have trouble holding our pencils, so therefore we need a rubber grip handle to help?

The pencil also has a feature that not many writing materials have. If for some reason you ever need to use the eraser and not the pencil, the eraser COMES OUT. I'm serious.

If you feel bad about using a black pencil, don't fear. The click pencils come in many different colors. It's a rainbow of pure genius.

When the algebra lesson just seems like too much, the click pencil helps remove the tension in your hand, helping you to relax and enjoy the process.

The click pencil has one more advantage. If you can't hold your pencil and need somewhere to put it, it comes with a sturdy plastic thingy to clip to papers, notebooks, or pockets.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

But seriously, I really love these things!!

Did you know?

For some reason the link won't work, so just google "vision forum 2010 essay contest" and you can find out more about it!

Welcome to the new and improved blog!

To my faithful readers, here is my new blog that has been under construction for a little while. Blogger has more options, so I made the transition.
