Lillie update

Lillie is doing great! The last three nights she has slept the whole night through. She is doing very while with our schedules. She turned 8 weeks old yesterday. I will have had her for 2 weeks tomorrow. She has gotten a lot bigger in these last few weeks. I keep on telling her that she has a big belly. We all have our own nicknames for her. I call her Cruella De Lillie. My dad calls her Lillie Pop. Alexa and Ian call her Lillie Pad. We have found out that she loves ham. My mom brought out some ham for lunch and when Lillie saw the ham she went nuts. So I gave her a piece of it and she could have probably taken my finger off the way she snatched that piece of ham. She is a great big, fluffy, bundle of joy and I am honored to have her as my friend and my pet.

One Day Left

I am so excited that it is CHRISTmas Eve. The time has just flown by. I just keep reminding myself this CHRISTmas that it isn't about receiving gifts or giving gifts. It is about Jesus Christ's birthday. He came into this world to take our sins upon Himself so that we wouldn't have to carry our own sins. I can just picture Baby Jesus lying in a manger because there was no room for him in the inn. I can picture His mother, Mary, sitting beside Him pondering all these things in her heart. Please remember what CHRISTmas is truly about while you go to your families houses' or if you're just staying at home. Just remember that He died for us. He is what this CHRISTmas season is all about. Have a MERRY, MERRY CHRISTmas everyone, and I hope to see you soon.

My early Christmas gift

Hi everyone sorry that I haven't posted in so long. I just wanted to let you all know that I got the puppy that I have always wanted. She is so sweet (99% of the time :-) I will hopfully get some pictures up of her soon.

My Weekend

On Saturday my sister, Alexa, was in the Youngsville Christmas parade. After that we went home and cleaned downstairs, the schoolroom, and some of my room. Then we went to Walk Through Bethlehem with my aunt and her almost husband, Josh, after that they came back to our house and we all ate supper together (lasanga if anybody was wondering). After supper we watched the real Grinch That Stole Christmas. So they didn't leave our house until around 10:30pm. Then we all went to bed and woke up and went to church the next morning. I didn't go to Sunday School because I doing nursery for Haley Huffman. We didn't go to Service because we had to go to my Great Grandparents house for their 60th wedding anniversary. That started at 2:00pm so we didn't leave there until around 5:30pm. Then we went to my Grandma's house (my mom's mom) to help her decorate her tree. My aunt, Maranda, and my uncle, Tim, and my aunt, Amanda, and my almost uncle, Josh, and me great Grandma, Grandma B. were all there. After we had decorated my Grandma's tree we all played a big game of Telephone that was a lot of fun. There were 13 of us playng it was a lot of fun. Then we came home and went to bed. Then we woke up on Monday and we did school and some Christmas stuff. Then my Mom and Dad had a Christmas party and my brother also had Gymnastics. So my mom took Owen to Gymnastics and then went to her Christmas party. My Dad came home and I help him with some Tae Kwon Do stuff. He was feeling good because he had a huge knot on his neck. Then he left to go to the Christmas Party. I fed Alexa and Ian supper. Then one of Owen's team mate's mom brought Owen home from Gymnastics around 8:45pm. My parents got home not to long after that. Then on Tuesday morning my mom and I got up and my mom took me to Biology (it is an 8:30am class). When I got home we started getting lunch ready for my Grandpa (his birthday is today, Wednesday,) so while we were getting ready my friend, Ellie, called to see if I wanted to come over to meet her new siblings from Ethiopia) of coarse I did so after we had eaten lunch with Pawpaw I went over to her house (you can read their story at my friend's blog www.myethiopiansisters.blogspot.com or her parents blog at www.jobsdaughters.blogspot.com ) So then my mom pick me up from her house and we went to TKD. It was pre-testing night and my mom and my dad were both pre-testing. Owen couldn't do class because he had pulled his ham-string the night before. My mom and dad both passed and today I have Choir, Owen has Gymnastics, and Alexa, Ian and I have Church. But right now we are at home doing school:-( I will post more soon:-) So good bye for now.

I was staying at my house with 8 other girls. We ate, we watched movies, we laughed, we had a camp fire. It was a lot of fun. I am very tired. I also have to finish reading Module#5 for Biology:-(

I feel yucky. I was sick yesterday and I still don't feel well today. I was sick, sick yesterday. Today I have a really stuffy nose, a head-ache, and a sore throat. I don't like being sick:-( It is not fun. At least I don't have Biology tomorrow. We leave for Disney World in 9 days I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:-)I had a really busy weekend. I was at Tae Kwon Do from 4:45 - 9:30pm on Friday night after that we went out to eat with some friends, before we could go home we had to go to Walmart (I like Walmart), so we didn't get home till 12:00am.

SCHOOL, SCHOOL, and MORE SCHOOL

I guess you can guess what I have been doing all day. SCHOOL. It is 5:58pm and I am still not all the way done. I did my Lab report for Science today and it is 3 pages long. I didn't realize how long a lab report is. I didn't really know what I lab report was until today. It took me almost all day to write it. I have a lot of Bible reading this week. I have to read the whole book of Numbers (36 chapters) and then I have to read 6 chapters of Deuteronomy. Isn't that just plain CRAZY. I did read all of my Literature reading today though, so I will not have to do it later on in the week. I also am going to finish a project for TOG and I still have to do a math lesson. Well got to go finish SCHOOL.

I like this picture!!!!!

We went to the beach earlier this year and my mom took this picture.
