Your Blog Should Be Blue

Your blog is a peaceful, calming force in the blogosphere. You tend to avoid conflict - you're more likely to share than rant. From your social causes to cute pet photos, your life is a (mostly) open book.

What Color Should Your Blog or Journal Be?

This weekend was very busy. On Friday my mom took me, Hava Miller and Abby Enas to six flags for homeschool day. It was so much fun! We went on all 6 of the roller costers and I went on all of them without hands. They spent the night and left on Saturday morning. Then my family and a couple other familys from my church went to Turkey Run. We had a ton of food and went hiking.....and went in the creek in our clothes. Sunday was pretty much a relaxing day...the way I like it. After night church my sister and I went and rented some movies and we watched Cinderella Man. And yesterday I was a conner prairie all day. It was SOOO hot. Then my sister and I went straight from there to Becca Davies open house. We got back and watched a nother movie with my parents ( or part of it, we watched the first hour of King Kon. It is a 3 hour movie). So now I am really tired. Have a good week!!

EASTER!!!!!!!

I love Easter!! My family on both sides ( nelson/lichtenbarger) alwayse have gatherings over easter, thanksgiving, and chrismas. I love my family because of how close we are to each other. On my moms side of the family everyone lives in southbend......on the same street (except us). And on my dads side everyone lives in indy or lafayett except my aunt who lives in Illinois. This year we went to my dads side for easter. Everything was great except for the egg hunt. You might think this is kinda weird but everyone still does the egg hunt....even my cousins financee. Each family was supposed to bring 12 eggs filled with candy for each child.My aunts hid all of the eggs and we all go out there to find them. We are all supposed to have the 12 plus one with our name on it. It starts to rain on us so we are all trying to get them as fast as possable and go inside. We found all that were out there but for some reason almost everyone was missing at least 1 egg(I only had 8), my aunts were blaming us that we were really bad at it and we are all like " there are no more out there". None of us could figure out what happened to the rest of the eggs. Well it turnes out that my aunt karen forgot thought her daughter brought the eggs in so we were missing 3 dozen eggs. It is kinda dumb but we all thought it was really funny how all of the eggs just disipeared. Do you guys have any interesting easter stories?

march 24-25 was the homeschool convention. Mary and I were leaders in the childrens part of it. It was so much fun! These are some pictures of our group. On friday we had 17 kids and saturday we had 12. They were so cute I miss them! 

 

Grant and Delany, they were so cute! 

 

here are some of the most recent pictures of Adalyn . She is 6 weeks old now. This was her first trip to our house yesterday! You are prolly getting tired of me posting pictures of her but I just can't help it!! 

yup you can already tell that she is going to get straight A's in school. She has reading down at 6 weeks old! 

This has got to be one of my favorite pictures. She is staring directly at the camera and making the funniest face.

I am finally on the computer again. It has not been working very well at all but I think it might work now. The past 3 days I was at my grandparents house in south bend. My grandpa trained his dog to speek....but I have never seen anything like it. When my grandpa would say "speek" the dog would sneeze it was so funny. The dog can sneeze on command I can't even do that.

Last saturday was opening day at conner prairie ( it is closed from november1 - march 31) . It was so much fun. It was also my friends birthday. So since it was April fools, for his birthday we had to do something. We had a couple of ideas but we decided not to do them cause we would get into trouble. He brought an extra par of clothes to change into so he would not have to go home in is conner prairie costume. So on our break we sewed up the bottems of his shorts and the sleves and neck of his shirt and the toes of his socks together. :) It was so funny ! He came out of the locker room and was like " what did you do" . hehe it was fun though, did any of you do anything fun for april fools?

SPRING BREAK

I am posting right now and I don't even know why. It is 12:21 am and I am tired but don't feek like going to bed. I need to post though cause I am going down in the contest and now I think I am in 15th place. I don't really care though. I just joined it cause I thought it might be fun and more people would read my blog. Well if you are reading this PLEASE comment!! I think more people come here but just don't comment. I also can't really update much though.

This week was my spring break!!! Well on Monday and Tuesday it really was not cause I had to do school that was sapost to be done last week, I alwayse wait till the last minuit to do things. I really need to change that. Ok back on the spring break thing. On Wednesday I went to work and after that I went to Edimberg (sp) with my mom to stay in a hotel and go shopping in their outlet mall. We stayed there until Friday and bought a bunch of stuff!! On friday I didn't even get to go home right home cause I had to go to my drama club. That was fun we learned the corieography (sp) to the dances. After drama I got to go home, unload all the shopping bags and unload somemore. There were TONS! I didn't just get stuff for me though, I got stuff for everyone in my family and for other people too. I got home at 4:45 and had to leave for work again at 6:00. On friday night I was really tired after that! What are you guys doing/have done for spring break? I only have 1 more day left in mine. :( But hey...the next break is summer break!!!!! I can't wait!
