We are home from winter carnival, and had an awesome time, although Kristianna was sick yesterday! :( She is feeling a little better today I believe, and no one else has gotten sick yet! I hope no one else will get sick....only time will tell. Guess what? I'm blogging on our laptop! It's awesome. We don't have wi-fi yet, so we must be getting it from one of our neighbors. Sometimes it allows us on the internet, sometimes not! Well, anyways, I don't have pictures this time (since I am on the laptop), but I will next time of winter carnival (I know, I know, I say that every time, but this next time I will have pictures, or else I won't blog)! haha!!

When we were at winter carnival....we got to go snow boarding! It was so awesome. I loved it, and can't wait to do it again hopefully soon. I went down the really big hill also! The sledding was also really fun.

We had 27 (I'm pretty sure) people eating with us, so that was also a blast. We bought, (well, my mom) and brought up all the food, and then others helped prepare, but that was fun to do that. Can you imagine preparing food for 27 people for 3 1/2 days? Haha. That's only 5 less than the Duggars! LOL!! I'm joking. Anyways, the whole weekend was a blast, and if you were there, I hope you enjoyed your time too!

That's all for now.

'Til next time,

Psalm 100:1-5

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Winter Carnival is tomorrow

Hey,

I cannot wait for winter carnival tomorrow! It will be so fun............or will it? I am TOOOOTTTALLLLLLLLYYYY joking. Ok, I am very excited as you can probably tell. HAHA! Well, anyways...let's see!! We have been really busy preparing and everything, and getting food ready for let's see now......about twenty six people! So, that is pretty much what we have been up to.

We got the texting bill today, and last month....remember Caleb had done around 7200 or something like that?? Well, this month he only had about 3200. Wow! He cut it done a bunch. Lol. Ummmm, I don't really know what else to say! I guess I could say we have started going on Wednesday night to Church, and the younger ones go to Patch the Pirate! (We have only gone for about two weeks now, cause that's when the patch club started)! Last night when we went, it was one of the teens birthday, so we got to have cake...yum! We also played a game called outburst (Bible edition). Heard of it? It was pretty fun. We have it, and might bring it to Winter Carnival!

Well, I REALLY don't know what else to say, so I guess I'll say ta ta for now! And so I can go get some of Susanna's famous, delicious, banana bread!!! Bii!!!!!

life in 2010

Hey everyone!

This is my first post of the year 2010! Wow! It's almost the end of January....I can't believe it. Any how, today is my mom's birthday!! We had a party the other day!! Happy Birthday, mom! I love you! I am helping with dinner, and getting ready to eat, but just figured I would give a little update on what we have been doing!

We went to a teen party (the meltdown) on January 15th. That was really fun, and one of the best teen things we have went to so far, I think, in a lot of ways!! (we haven't been to a lot, just a couple)! Anyways, we started off by playing "melt the ice", and you had to melt a piece of ice in your hands. Yikes! It was freezing. There was first second, and third place, but none of us girls won :( haha. After that we did this thing, where you split up into teams and go around the Church and find stuff, to make up a "commercial" about how to stay warm in the winter. It could be serious, funny, or just plain dumb! Anyways, that was pretty fun, and I hope that I can find those videos, and show to them to you! After that we had ice cream and watched the videos, and ended the night by playing a game of dodge-ball (not really fun for the girls, but...eh we didn't really play, just stood there. lol ;))!

Uh, I'm trying to think what else......I got denied on my braces; AGAIN! Boy! I guess, I'm not meant to have braces, even though I really want them.

We have found some new texting friends, and I don't know if you want to know how many Caleb had in the first month of texting...............drummeral please..........lol.........7400!! I had around 3000. That is quite a lot. Ha-ha!! But, more people have texting than you really know I think, and it adds up REALLY fast, when you don't know it.

We were talking about how we hadn't been to many funerals in a while (it seemed like last year or a year and a half ago, we had been to a lot, in a short period of time), and we went to two within 5 days!!!

Well, I guess I better go and eat. Nice getting caught up! lol. I hope to have some pictures on here soon (I haven't posted any in a while)!

In His Arms,

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope that you all had a great day.....I sure did! We started off the day by reading the Bible and then opening presents at home, and then after that we headed off to Nana's house where my mom's sister and brother-in-law (my aunt and uncle), and her brother and his family, were also there. We opened up the presents from the secret santa thing we did, and from Auntie Jenn and Uncle Dan. Then we "hung out" for a little while, and then ate. After we ate we opened presents from Nana and Papa. Now we are just "hanging out" some more. Some are playing games......some eating dessert.....and some watching the movie Mary and Joseph! It was a great day, and I (at 7:00) am ready to go to bed right now (after going to bed at 1:00 last night)! Please leave a comment, if you read this and let me know how your Christmas was. Thank you so much!

Ephesians 6:9-18

Charlie bit me: Working with Harry and Charlie

I posted a while ago a video "Charlie bit my finger", well this is sort of an "update" on them. It's called working with Harry and Charlie.....(auntie Jenn....you may not have seen this one...have you?)!!!!

SNOW!!!!

We have like 7-8 inches of snow already.....and it's still coming down!!! Oh my goodness. I woke up to it just snowing really hard! Caleb and Julianna have been out in the snow....not me however! haha. Maybe Micah has...idk???? Julianna, Micah and Caleb would have had piano lessons, but we canceled....so much snow! I don't know if we would be able to get out. We can't start the snow-blower (dad's not here)... and we only have one snow shovel! We need to get some more shovels....SOON....and we are going to (maybe today or tomorrow). So, Caleb still just texts like crazy......I hear a noise (for his text) like every 2 minutes it seems (except in the morning)! Yesterday I texted some people, and they weren't texting me....so then I texted my cousin (who was also texting Caleb), and I was like "noone is texting me... everyone is texting Caleb....text me". She was like ok.....and then other people started texting me, and I was like....agh! I can't answer you all...stop texting me. (I was texting like 4 people or something)! It was so nuts! Ha-ha! It was funny. Caleb probably (receives and sends), 300 a day... easily! That is so amazing. I counted it up, and if I kept doing what I was doing (send about 60 a day, and receive 60 a day....) I would have almost 4,000 texts in a month! WOW! Just think of what Caleb would have....he would have like 10,000 (ok, maybe not that many....but then again....maybe!)!!!!!!!! I have never heard of somebody having so many texts. Ok, off the subject of texting!


Ok, I was gone....eating lunch and stuff....now I am back! But.....I guess I don't have a lot more to say....so, that is all for now! It is not snowing anymore...we got about 9-10 inches! So, yeah....a lot. Micah, Julianna and Kristianna are out in the snow now. That's all for now. Bye-bye!

December post

Hello everyone, how are you all doing? I am doing well, and finally feeling I think 100% better from when I was sick. I think everyone else is also.



What's new? We got texting yesterday on our phones!!! It's sooooooooo fun to text. We are so excited! Caleb (i.e.) received 110 texts yesterday! lol That is a LOT. I got a bunch too, but only 52! Ha-ha. Susanna however only received about 15 or so. Oh, well....she just didn't do it as much as us. She'll catch up! haha


We are getting ready to go to a nursing home at about 10:00 to sing and play our instruments for Christmas. Then , I don't know what we are doing the rest of the day. Actually I do know that we are going to a living nativity tonight (I think). So, that will probably be fun.


I went to the orthodontist the other day and they took the pictures for me to send in, to see if Mass Health will pay for my braces. They already denied me once (about two years ago), so we'll see what happens this time! Also earlier that morning we went Christmas Caroling with the Home-school group at our Church. Then we went back to the Church for a pot-luck, and had to get out of there pretty quick after to go to the orthodontist.


I thought of another thing we did that was fun recently (I really haven't blogged in a while. haha). We went to a cookie swap a couple days ago, and got 96 cookies there! We had to bring 6 dozen, and then we would get 6 dozen back. But, there were a couple left over, and one lady didn't want to take "her cookies" back, cause she had some left at home, so we got to take a couple extra dozen....so that's how we got so many!


Well, that's all for now. If I think of anything else that happened exciting that I forgot, or if something else exciting does happen....I'll try to post something about it! Oh, and I have some pictures that I want to post sometime also!


'Til next time,
Karissa Noelle <3
