Spring is here!

Hey all!

Well, the winter has passed! Last Friday ushered in spring and it is BEAUTIFUL out! I am loving the weather and will post some pictures of the flowers later!

Another good thing about the spring ( and the following summer ) is not that School will be done, ( although that is a nice thing to have a break :) but that the grass will need mowed and with that means mowing business! YAH! I am excited to get mowing but it isn't quite time for "steady" mowing. I did the first mow yesterday and it should last a while. Come this summer though....... I think I will have a lot to mow!

I was reading this morning and came across a good quote... I enjoyed it! Here it is,

Fellowship with God will keep one from sin,

or sin will keep one from fellowship with God.

Hm... I can think on that for a while today!

I apologize that it has been so long since my last post. It just seems that with these last 2 school months coming up I might be too busy to post much! Oh... and in case you are wondering.... Schoolwork is what is keeping me SO busy! I know that most of those reading understand that! :) 

God bless!

Spring is in the air!

Today was the most BEAUTIFUL weather so we headed out to play while it was so nice. While out there we drew with Sidewalk chalk. Below is a picture that I drew and then LJ which I am going to tell you about below!

I also saw the most miraculous sight. FLOWERS! It was so nice to see a sign of spring coming up so I took some pictures. LJ ran in with the flowers and said to Mom, " Here you go Mommy, the first flowers! " How cute!

The Flowers

Really Neat Picture. ( At least in my opinion! :)

Yesterday, I was sitting down to work on blog. Change a few things, post a little, the normal. When I saw that I had a unread message in my inbox. It was an invitation to share a Scriblink page. Now I've used Scriblink when getting help with Chem, ( My teacher and I will work through trouble problems since it is an online whiteboard. ) but never for fun really. So some good friends invited me to share a whiteboard and here is the end result! This drawing was made with 2 of us using the traditional mouse and one using a "plug-in" pen. 

Nerissa and "Mom", you did GREAT! Thanks for all the help! I could not of made such an amazing drawing by myself! It's amazing how it came together! 

Snowmen!

Today I had the privilege to help LJ build a snowman!!! We had a great time despite some rough moments along the way. Among those rough moments was attempting to get the "upper body" on top of the "lower body" but I am getting ahead of myself!

First we started with lower part. That took a lot of effort to roll that out! Meanwhile "LJ" was rolling the top part out. You can see the size of the lower part with the picture below.

Next came the middle part. Now, I really miscalculated this one as I started off. I thought that the lower pat was perfect. Nice and big. The only problem being that, as I was the only one out there big enough to wrestle down those big parts, when it came time to lift the middle part up... which was only a wee bit smaller than the "lower" part, there was some serious difficulty. After my fugal attempts I did what I should of done in the first place, Called "Dad"! :) We proceeded to get a board and with a lot of effort managed to roll it up on top of the lower part! Sorry that there isn't a picture of that. I was helping get the middle up there. :) Here is a size comparison with the middle. Already it is almost as high as LJ!

Next Dad and LJ took off down towards the woods and looked for eyes and "buttons". Durning that time I began to construct a much more manageable sized Snowman! Dad had already lifted the head up for us. Thanks Dad for all the help! :)

Next... the nose. A carrot from the fridge should take care of that problem! The eyes are walnuts that Dad and LJ found on the ground with sticks for the traditional arms. LJ must feel pretty small now! :) Pine tree branches were our selection for the mouths.

The finished product as we wave to you all! ( Don't miss the post below. It's new too! :)

Valentine Banquet!

I had the opportunity to serve at our church's Valentine's banquet and thoroughly enjoyed myself! The food was to die for and I found something new that I love. It's called Sorbet'. I think that is how you spell it and it is basically sherbet. Wonderful stuff!

The decorations were beautiful.

The heart was made by a friend of mine and I thought it was a very nice piece of art! Great Job Craig!!!!

There were plenty of people too!
