Thanksgiving pies;)

 HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Or rather happy 'late' thanksgiving! I meant to post these thanksgiving day, but our schedule has been pretty crazy. So this are the pies we made. but these are about a quarter of the pies a family we know made. 24 pies!!!!!! And last thanksgiving they made 32!!! They were eating pies for the next few months! We went and visited them right after thanksgiving, and guess what? We ate pies!!:) 

So, why am I writing this post? Wait, I think... I remember! We're we talking about Thanksgiving? I can't remember!!!! 

So again, Happy Thanksgiving!;)

Hey, just for laughs, tell me how many and what kinds of pies you made!

Baby sisters: Awesome posts!

I would have given you some of her really baby pics., but they weren't taken on my camera, so its hard to download them! Okay, but seriously, isn't she the cutest thing you ever saw? And its just gets worse! She just keeps getting cuter, which means she is getting older! AAAARRRGGG!!!!! ( Hehe!)

Can you believe it, she is almost walking!!! Well... Almost. She is walking along the couch. She is one!!! So old, so big...*sniff*. I took all but the last pic. my brother caught her standing without holding on. ( Of course she was leaning in the basket, but we'll just leave that part out.) Now this is a problem, she loves the stairs. BIG PROBLEM. Though she is pretty steady, She has only fallen once, and she caught herself and waited until someone saved her. Enjoy these, I'll take more someday. 

Hmm, should I trust her?

 I'll trust her. Hugs anyone?

 There she is again! You came back for more hugs?

Really?( Sarcastically.)

Adorable smiles? Sure!

Please tell me what you thought about them!

Hey guys! Does anyone have any post ideas?:(

Come on, spill the beans, I need some help here! 

Try this! I close my eyes and the wind blows my hair! Talk about awesome! It's like I can feel God speaking to me, and saying,( when I had had a hard few moments,) " Peace, be still." Then I feel like all of the raging storms that had threatened to burst me, just disappeared! All my jumbled thoughts fall in to place and I can open my eyes and see that I have nothing that is not to hard for God to take care of. As I think about these things, I can literally feel like when I open my eyes, I can face life again. I hope you take this seriously and try it. Next time you have a fight with a sibling and feeling like ' There is no way I'm going back there ever,' try this. Its the perfect recipe!

THE SKY'S ON FIRE!!!

I have been totally obsessed with the sunset. :) These are the different stages of our sunsets here in 

WA. By the way, these were taken with the 'super vivid' color setting, they were not exactly as bright.

                                                                     So, take a look.

This one looks like the sky is on fire!

It gets dark at about 7:00 now so we get to enjoy the pretty sunsets. I know this is a short post but really all I wanted to say was enjoy the sunsets! They don't last forever. 

Tell me what you think!

The most adorable child ever!

Sorry these are fuzzy!:( she was moving while I took them.

So, this is my cutest littlest sister! She is just starting to crawl so  she is getting into trouble. Besides the fact she is now starting to eat avocado's, peaches, (blended of course!) bananas, and little pieces of bread. She has got so much bigger! She used to weigh 3.12 lbs. and measured 15 3/4 in. She was tiny!

Have fun looking at these!  They're special! I took them right after she took her first crawls! 

( " Crawls" ? Is that a word?;)  )

She has huge eyes and almost never smiles for someone she hasn't seen. . She is super observant, cute

adorable, hilarious, curious, ... I can't name everything.!

Anyway, I love her even though she may give surprises in her diaper !... Hehe!!!!

This is one of my favorite things!

This is a total coincidence, but my sister at singingjoyfully.blogspot.com just did a post about her favorite things about fall, and one of them was pies. These are peach pies, but this year I have made apple, blackberry, blueberry, and now peach. So in case you haven't guessed, I love making pies! It makes it way more delicious if you make it yourself. We even make our own crust! This is whole wheat flour so it is dark. Its so flaky, and it melts in your mouth!

My Grandpa was the one that really got me to love making pies. When he came up once in a while, We would make apple pies, with lattice top crust! Though, he bring store bought crust.He loves making pies too. Actually, he likes to bake, and to garden. So does Grandma. They have a huge garden, and they bring up all the extra veggies and such, and fruit, so we get stocked up for winter! I have been sitting inside, doing math and school and being cozy, because it so cold! I think fall has come a little early! I didn't get enough swimming, running, and sunshine! If fact, this year has been kinda weird. We had flowers blooming in January, Basically no rain in the spring and now September is freezing! Now I can start posting about fall leaves, and cute clothes. Should I stop talking? Fine!! If I have to! PIES MAKES FALL THE BEST SEASON OF ALL!( Among other things!)

How's your week going?

Sunrises

I went running with my brothers a couple of days ago, and noticed that at 6:00 am, it is really pretty! I liked this picture because of all the pastel colors. Lavender, violet, pink, yellow, orange,  green and blue. It is like a rainbow! And when we came outside to the road, there was mist everywhere! We got to run through it! If I had the camera I would a taken a picture. And guess who made the sunrise, and the mist? Yes, God!only He could make such a beautiful thing as a sunrise in Washington! 

How has your week been going?:)
