Christmas Season

I just love the Christmas season.  This year we are going to my grandma's house for Christmas....IT IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!!!! We are having our Christmas here early because we want to be in Indiana for actual Christmas day.  Always remember that Jesus is the reason for the season!! Also please forgive me for not keeping up with blogging for awhile....life can get kinda crazy! :)

WE MOVED!! :)

We MOVED!!!!! Now we are out in country!! I never would have thought that we would be out here.  I mean we said we were never going to live out in the country and look where we are now....OUT IN THE COUNTRY!!! I definitely love being out here. It just shows how amazing our Lord is. He has made all this nature all around us.  I don't remember when we took that trip to Montana but seeing all those mountains, hills, and rocks is just more evidence of  how awesome our Lord is!! :)

NEWSFLASH

I have been really BUSY with school!

What's going on?

I started school on Monday and to tell you the truth it is harder than I thought. Kayla started CC on Tuesday she said it wasn't that bad. Cooper is staying home this year and is doing My Fathers World, Saxon Math, and Phonics. Cadence started Hoover on Wednesday and she loved it. Clayton start ACS today and also very much loved it. Brianna will be going to Mothers Day Out on Mon,Tues, Wed. Alaina will start going to Mothers Day Out in September...only on Tuesdays though. I started dance today and absolutely LOVED IT!! My teacher is amazing she makes sure you follow the rules and if you don't you have a punishment in push-ups. I love to dance. Especially for the Lord my God. :)

No Kids

My dad took all the little kids to Branson for 2 days and left Me, Kayla, my mom, and Alaina. It was SO quiet once all the kids left. We have to take care of Alaina the whole time so we can't go anywhere all weekend. We are starting school next week so my mom is preparing for all of that stuff. I got to have a friend over on Friday and she helped with Alaina too so that was a bonus! :) I have been watching tons of movies lately because I've been SO bored. My favorite on I watched was called "Summer Eleven." It was about 4 best friends and they helped each other through rough times and good times. There was a sad one called "The Other Side of Heaven." I was a good movie but sad....not sad enough to cry though. I also watched a Horse Movie called "Moondance Alexander." They were all good movies and now I am about to watch "Read it and Weep."

Smiles. :)

This picture is Amazing! If you look close enough you can see that everybody is smiling. Even the baby!! I love it!

Mels Harluck Diner

Mels Hardluck Diner is my favorite place to eat in Branson. They have GREAT burgers and the waitress and waiters sing all around the resturant. Our waitress sung a lot of Taylor Swift songs and Cadence loves Taylor Swift songs. Out waitress, when it was her turn to sing, she asked Cadence what was her favorite song of Taylor Swift. She sang her favorite song and let Cadence sing into the microphone. This is all of us a the dinner table.

She is singing Cadences favorite song.

Additons

About a few months ago we added three people to our family. I haven't gotten around to blogging it because I've been busy. We added three little girls, Cadence-5, Brianna-3, and Alaina- 6 months.
They are my cousins and we are fostering them.
This is Mothers Day. This is the 4th of July. The baby isn't in this picture.

Last month we went to branson and had a blast. They have a huge pool there and a movie room.

This is Brianna trying to carry pool stuff out to the car.

This is a GREAT picture of Alaina :o)

School!

School is starting next week. I'm going to stay homeschooled but we are still starting school when the others do. I started my writing 2 days ago and my spelling yesterday but the rest I will start on Monday. I already wrote a paper on The Middle Ages and I thought I did pretty good. I'll let you read it.

The Dark Ages

By Camryn

The Middle Ages is remembered for its intrepid knights, royal kings, and massive castles. But they were not glorious times. The Middle Ages began with the crumbling of the Western Roman Empire in the 400’s and 500’s. Some awful tribes of treacherous warriors stormed across Europe and seized its different parts. These barbarians were not civilized. They lived in tents, ate nasty raw food, and did not bathe. Boy, they must be fetid! They had no interest in arts and learning. They invaded the Roman lands and set up thee own kingdoms. The Roman culture, its law, art, and love of learning was lost. Some people called the times “The Dark Ages.”

Strong knights and colossal castles did not appear until the 900’s. By then, most of Western Europe had been divided into huge estates called manors. A few rich noblemen owned some estates and lived in terrific castles, but other people were poor and called serfs. They did not have great lives. They worked tiredly from sunup the sundown farming for the noblemen. They lived in almost dilapidated huts with mud walls, clay floors, and no doors. The food was scarce, disgusting garbage on the streets, and horrible diseases plagued villages. The average person lived to be 30 years old. Education and culture activity was almost forgotten. Life in the Middle Ages was filled with awful hardships.

Let me know what you think by commenting. :)

Easter

Sorry i haven't been able to blog lately....i've been very busy :) Easter i think is my favorite holiday because Jesus died for OUR sins and then he raised on Sunday! I have a fabulous Easter with my family. On Saturday we died a ton of eggs with a neigbor. We ate some of them while dieing them. I love boiled eggs and now our fridge is full of eggs. Sunday we went to church at West Oak Baptist Church and had an awesome service. Then we had a big decision on where to eat to escape the crowd of Easter. We finally deciede 2 Sisters and surprisingly there wasn't very many people there are all. We got home and had an egg hunt in the house since it rained a lot on Easter. Thats all for now! :)

It'S My CrAzY LiFe! :)

It'S My CrAzY LiFe and nobody can take that away. I would never change my life even if I had the chance too. Though sometimes life can be rough and you want to start over, I would still never change it. I will live my life to glorify Jesus.

Random pics

I came across some of these pictures while look at blogs and I would like to share them!

Mexcio :)

I LOVE Mexico! :) There are so many things there that I love there is just to many to name off. But here is just a couple of them:

-The People :) They are just all SO nice and even though you don't speak there language it is very is to make friends. I have a lot of friends down there but there is one that really sticks out. Her name is Elizabeth. I think she is 9 or 10. Though I don't speak her language we get along very well. She is teaching me Spanish and I am trying to teach her to speak English. Elizabeth and me always do our favorite hand clap. It's called "Frankenstein". She sings it in Spanish and I absolutely no clue what she is saying. She has a younger sister name Gisell (I think that is how you spell it) but is is pronounced Jezel and two younger brother.

-The food :) There food down there is amazing. There tamales are the BOMB...lol...though I am being completely serious. My mom said that our neighbors barbecue chicken was amazing but I don't know because I had a cold and my taste buds were all out of wack. But the interesting thing was that there was no barbecue sauce on the chicken. Barbecue sauce wasn't even involved. We had some really good tortilla things but I can't seem to think what they are called right now. I almost forgot these things but these were the best......Guacamole Takis Chips. Oh my goodness. They were sold right next to us (there is a little shop next to us).

I thought it might be nice to share a couple stories with you.

First of all there are a lot of nasty, disgusting looking dogs down there. And they run around the house we were staying at a lot. So...one day we were sitting outside with our friends (The Havilend-Phillips) and this dog runs by us with something hanging from its mouth. This boy goes over to see what is was and he came back with a CHICKEN HEAD!!

I don't know if you would really call this a story but we were to play this game there over and over and over again till we would get bored of it. We have done it so much that I now know the song of it in Spanish. I think that is the thing I miss the most about Mexico is playing that with all the children around.

Well I should probably get to bed so I won't be so tired tomorrow. I'm in Bville so I can't afford to be tired...lol. Good night :)

Mission, TX and Reynosia, MX

We have recently been staying in Mission, TX. We have been making lots of trips down to Mexico and help the people down there! I really do not have that much pictures about this time cause my camera is fried! We have been helping this family in Mission, TX and I have no clue how to spell there last name. All I know is it starts with an R. There house burnt down and she is a single mother with ten kids. We went over there one day and served them lunch and my dad help out with moving dirt. We all had a blast playing with the kids that speak English and Spanish. At first I only thought the 16 year old spoke English but i guess they all do (except the mom). We served them Christmas dinner and dropped it off on the way down to Mexico.

Mexico has been an awesome adventure!! I have loved to learn Spanish and play with the kids there! I had three special girls there that I had a great great great time with!! We played the same game literally everyday!! It was a hand clap game and I learned the words in Spanish because we played it so many times. While we were down in Mexico we had a chance to bless some people with shoes. We drove around in my dad HUGE pickup truck with a whole bunch of shoes in the back. We had a translator with us and had a person except Christ. What is really cool is my mom wanted to get the translator (named Johnny) on tape cause he was preaching away! And the person my mom got on tape wast the one that excepted Christ!! Jesus is AWESOME, AMAZING, AND INDESCRIBABLE!! Thanks for reading!
