Hey everyone~



I've had this saved as a draft for a while, and I haven't done anything in May, so I really wanted to try to finish this up and post it tonight. I am getting it done (even though it's late). I deleted a couple by accident, so I will put those up next time! The pictures on here are mostly from the past month, I think; so... here goes!

I think I have put this verse on before, but I have been using it a lot lately, and I really love it!

Isaiah 40:31

But they the wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

April post

Hello all my faithful and unfaithful blog readers,


Wow! I have had my blog for just a little over a year!


I was going to post something on Julianna's birthday, but I never got around to, and I figured at least I did something last year. So, Happy belated birthday, Julianna!


Happy Birthday to you, to Jesus be true, May God's special blessings, descend upon you!! I love you, Julianna!


She turned 11, and I am pretty sure she had a lot of fun on her birthday!


Please pray for my Nana and Papa, their basement had a lot of water in it last time it rained, and they had to stay up most of the night for more than a couple days (doing it like every hour or so also during the day), and now that it was raining again, it has happened again! We have been able to help them out a little but, but, I feel really bad, and it really is a LOT of water. So, if you ever think of it, pray that they will find out the problem so that won't happen every time it rains, if you know what I mean?!


We had a GREAT time at the Johnson's when we went last Friday and slept over Friday night and stayed all day Saturday. Thank you so much for having us Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, Corbin, Lucas, Riley, Gabe, Elliott, Spencer and Toby, and we look forward to seeing you again sometime soon. Susanna and I are working on making a slide show of all the pictures that we took while there. It is going to be REALLY AWESOME, and I think Susanna is going to post it on her blog, and maybe when she does I will put something on here, saying that she did (just in case anyone reads my first, then I can tell you to head to Susanna's blog).


Well, that is all for now. I hope you all have a great night!!!!


Love,


Karissa Noelle

Isaiah 53:5-6

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

A few pictures from the last couple days :)

Hey,

I don't have a lot of pictures, but I do have some from the past couple days that I have been just snapping. I am excited also because my mom got a video camera (it's small and doesn't look like a video camera, it looks more like a camera), but it is really cool. I can't wait to take some videos with it, especially this summer in Alton Bay! :)





Rain drops on the swingset after the rain.



Daniel on mom's bed watching a movie.




"Let me take a picture of myself," says Kristianna.

After the rain.

I started to peel this egg, and I got this far, before I cracked it (this egg wasn't boiled). I know it's silly, but I thought it was kind of cool! :)

Kristianna and the big bear.

Kristianna and her doggy.

"I want to take a picture of you," says Kristianna (I know, I feel a little funny posting a picture of myself. lol)!

Daniel as you can see, does a good job of taking care of his dog. haha.

Daniel and Kristianna being buddys!

Daniel being cute stuff :)

Daniel smiles big for the camera.

And for the last Kristianna.

Well, I know those were mostly of Kristianna and Daniel, but they're easy to take pictures of. haha.

Summer is coming and I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I hope you all have a great day!!

These verses have been encouraging to me over the past month or so. When the youth group was going to do the Bible quiz, we were studying chapters 1, 2 and 3 of Joshua (Susanna 1, Caleb 2, and I 3), and these were in chapter one. Also my cousin gave these same verses to me when we were texting one day. So, I just figured these would be the ones I would share with you this time.

Joshua 1:8-9

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Pictures

Hey all!! I'm back again!! And hey! Look at that, I'm posting pictures! I decided to make a video this time instead of downloading all the pictures to my blog, and it's really fun to make videos/slideshows. Well, I'll first say, to left off where I was in the last post...all of us ended up getting sick except for Caleb and Julianna (so far, and that's not to say they definitely won't get it...which I hope and pray that they won't, cause it was one of the most horendous things in the world)! Ok , well off that subject, back to the pictures!!!! I wanted to write something on some of the pictures (not that I would have to, but you know some pictures have a "story" and it's fun to say "what is happening in that picture" if you know what I mean?!). So, anyways, if I was to write something on them, it would be in the middle of the picture (which would wreck the point of having the picture on there at all pretty much)! So, needless to say, I didn't do it....and it's not the end of the world, but it would have been nice. Oh well, maybe there is a way you can do it w/out having that happen, but I have yet to find that out, and will definitely do that if I ever find out how. Well, here goes!!! Enjoy!!

Did you like it?

I was thinking after "it's a good thing I took pictures of the little kids, or I really would have been in for it!" LOL!

Video's

This is the video I made up of all the videos I took at Winter Carnival. I realized I spelled snowboarding wrong at the beginning, but I already did a lot of work, and it would probably take a lot to fix it, so I just left it...it's not that big of deal. Also at the end, I made it so the music fades out, but when I watched it, it just cut it off...oh well! That would probably take a little fixing too, so I just left it!! I hope you enjoy it!!!!

How did you like it? It really is fun to make videos like this!!!

That's all for now....have a great day!!!

'til next time,

Karissa

Isaiah 40:31

Home

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!!!!!

1 Peter 5:7

Casting all your care upon him, for he careth for you.

(Sorry if that's not right....that's what I had off the top of my head.)
