It took a while but I'm okay!

HI!!!!!!

Recently I put curlers in my hair after taking a shower, so that it would be curly in the morning.

I think this was a little over curly! It was a lot of fun though! I actually wanted it like this, but I wasn't expecting it to be that curly! I love curling my hair, don't you?! My hair is naturally wavy so the curls last for days! My sister helped me get it out of my face. Do you have a sister who saves you from being smothered in you own hair? Don't ever let her move out! As long as I curl my hair with curlers, I'll need her! So, how's your week been?

My hobby, and my mom's hobby. Shopping.

Generally I would have filled this post with a lot of ' sorry I didn't post' , but the truth is, summer is really busy, so I haven't been able to post! Though our calendar for the rest of the summer on is pretty calm, so hopefully I can do more posting! Anyway, you already know what my hobby is, now let me tell you what my moms hobby is. She loves to shop, especially if there are no 3 year old's running around everywhere! She will be going to the grocery store to get butter, a couple loaves of bread, and lettuce, and come walking out of the store with 2 carts full! Seriously, all you who have homeschooling moms, you know what I mean! So the other day she was going to have a shopping day with the boys, and professionally picked out this adorable dress for me at a thrift store. ( We like thrift stores, their cheap!) I thought I would decorate it with one of my youngest rabbits! 

What did you think? What is your moms hobby? :) 

How has your week been?

My hobby: Rabbits

 I have been pretty busy and have not got around to posting for a while,( or more like a week and a half!) so I decided to post today and make up for it. I was thinking about what to post about and thought that I already had pictures of my rabbits, so why not post about them?! Besides, I haven't really told you a lot about them! Okay, so here goes: In February I got the rabbits. One of the original does died so I got another to replace her. She had babies and that is what made me think you might like to see them. They are the cutest! I am keeping the grey one and selling the one in the first picture. I am hoping to sell all of them though. Enjoy!

   

Aren't they adorable? I love them! I just had a rabbit have 3 babies this morning, so I am very excited. The black and white ones in the photos above look alike but if you look closely you can see a difference. Would you like to buy one?:) Please tell me what you thought in your comments.

God is good!!

 Hi!!

Wow, I haven't posted in over a week!

I  first became a Christian when our family was having devotions when I was 6. My brother David, asked if he could pray with my parents after devotions, and become a Christian. Of course, my parents were delighted as any Christian parent would be, and said yes. I  asked the next night and also prayed with my parents. I think at the time that was more of a not wanting to be left out, but as I got older, I realized that being a Christian is a lot more then just praying and asking God to forgive your sins and help you to follow Him that one time. When I realized this, I got to thinking that maybe being a Christian was a whole lot more  than I thought it would be.

 Being a Christian doesn't mean you say 'The Prayer', and than just attend church, make sure your not doing any really bad stuff, and than everything will be fine.Or thinking you will get showered with blessings, and you will no longer have sins, I sometimes think this way. Being a Christian has much more to it!( Let me tell you out of experience!). I started reading the Bible almost every day, I tried to be kind and loving, but still this is not enough. We cannot just say'The Prayer', and move on. We must dwell in Christ, and then He will dwell in us.

 We must call upon Him in humility and repentance, and pour out our hearts an be grateful for all He has done for us, and  He will answer, and forgive us every day. When we give ourselves to Him fully, He will never forsake us! EVER! I hope this has been a encouragement to you all, as all of us need what the Bible has to say! I hope you will take this seriously and not just think that, 'Well, I am not doing bad stuff, so I don't really need God'! He loves you dearly and wants to have us all in Heaven with Him someday!

Until next time!,

Mary

April showers bring May flowers

Hello out there!

     I am back with another post! I loved getting this one ready! Half of these are taken on a sunny day, and half  taken on  a rainy day. ( It is kinda hard not to get a rainy picture since we live in a very wet area! It is a lot better in the summer          though.) Can you believe how fast the spring is going? Spring is one of my favorite seasons, because the flowers are        blooming, the birds are always singing, and it is warm enough to do school outside in comfort ! So, I hope you all enjoy looking at these as much as I had taking them!

 

                                                                   I absolutely love roses!           

                     

These are dutch Iris'. They are like a mini Iris'.

 I have no idea what this is, but it was pretty!

 My Dad says this is a peonie.

This is the rainy half.

I learned how to handle a camera from my  older sister, Becca. 

I love taking pictures of water droplets! I will try to post something other than flowers next time! Hehe!

Talk to you next time,!

Mary

My adorable little sister!!!!!!

LYDIA JOY!!!!!

So here I am again, with a post about my new little sister! She is about 6 mo. 

She is the cutest thing  have ever seen!!!!! Mom had fun going to a consignment shop to shop for her, * sniff, sniff*, and she didn't take me with her! Boo-hoo! ( I love shopping for baby girls!) Any way, the funny thing is, in our church we have a wedding coming up for one of the older girls, and also baby on the way. So mom bought a dress for the new baby that is coming  to wear to the wedding. She went their house to drop off some clothes, and as she walked in the door, one of the daughters said that her mom was in labor! So my mom dropped off the clothes, and got out of there! She had to feed our baby so she stayed in the car in their driveway. About 10 min. after she left, the baby was born!!!! I got to hold the new baby when she was about 3 or 4 days old.They named her Kelan Grace! I love that name! ( Oh, by the way they named the new princess  in England Charlotte Elizabeth Diane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) As you can see I love everything about babies! ( except the diapers!) Ha ha! Okay, back to my sister, she needed to be posted about, so here it is :

See, you have to admit, she is adorable. And you see why she needed to be posted about.Sorry that they are fuzzy, it was super hard to get a good picture. Okay see you all next time!( I haven't heard a peep out of you all! Except my sister) I am leaving her blog address. Singingjoyfully.blogspot.com

Bye,

Mary
