Violet

Rebekah and I were inventing duets together, and I wanted to share the rough draft up here. I made a little video to go with it - maybe I had a little too much fun fooling around with Windows Movie Maker!

Exalted

This is a song we heard for the first time at the Bible Forum in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The words are very thought-provoking, the tune is hauntingly beautiful, and it is so powerful to sing. *smile* This is a really good video if you're trying to learn how to sing the different parts since it scans the SATB shapenotes and the words as they are played in the song. Enjoy, and praise God.

Smoke Signals

Sarah: "Tyler, when you're over at the Robsons', just send smoke signals so's I know they're treating you right."
Shayla: "Sa-wah, people don't use smoke signals anymore! Silly!"
Sarah: "They don't? What do they use, then?"
Shayla: "They use cell phones."
Sarah: "Why don't we use them, though?"
Shayla: "They on-wy used them back then, when they had no electricity!"
Sarah: "Oh. Where'd you learn so much about smoke signals?"
Shayla: "Um.... I don't know."

Old Picture

I found this while clearing off a few old memory cards for mei camera. 

I am hoping to bring home plenty of pictures from this year's Gettysburg trip! Please work, camera dear!

 

Babysitting the Nelson girls and Lizzy! Very interesting! Our oven wasn't working properly, so I made some no-bake "Preacher Cookies"... but I was distracted and I didn't boil the chocolate long enough. Sure enough, they never hardened up, so I scraped them into bowls and we had cookie soup! Necessity is the mother of invention!

Mothers' Day 2012

This is a video on how we spent Mothers' Day at Beavertail. (There also are some pictures in Photo Album, Continued.) Perhaps there is a lot of Lizzy-video in there, but I could record that child for hours and still be laughing! I like the quote at the end... so true... Anyways, enjoy the video! Sorry it's a little long! 

La Sonrisa

It looked like a smiling face to me! I'm making M&M cookies using my mamm's old recipe... I have fond memories of eating these when my sisters and I were younger!
