Cookie Baking

 Baking cookies with friends = lots of laughter, fun and messes! My family and another family got together and made a lot of cookies the other day. We made 4 different kinds, but with six kids and two adults it went really fast.

 

 

 The younger kids got bored after about 3 batches and decided to go play in the snow....with a goat, to pull their sled! They said he didn't like it, and the kids ended up pulling each other.

Lots of cookies!

Merry Christmas!!

I think my brother thinks he is a model or something >.>

Teague

My littlest (or maybe I should say "youngest" he's not very little anymore!) brother Teague, is the cutest 10 year old, soon to be 11, in the WORLD. Shh....don't tell him I said that. He'll look at me, roll his eyes, get the cutest little smile (and he has a dimple!) and say "Kluaaaaneeee!" He loves to help (most of the time) and even though he's slow, he does a very good job at anything he does.

He's my fellow piano player in the house :D If I'm not on the piano, he is. . . .he's getting really good too. He'll catch up to me if I don't keep practicing!

Teague loves his chickens and he's very knowledgeable in anything and everything that has to do with poultry. If I have questions, he's the first place I go to for answers =o)

He will bake and cook as often and as much as we will let him and have time to help him.

. . . .and he loves to help with campfires! (a little bit of a pyromaniac. . . .hehe)

Teague, I'm so glad you're my brother!

Little Brothers

author unknown

I was given a brother 

To teach me about life

He loves and aggravates me

And gives me strength and strife

Thank goodness for little brothers

They are special as can be

Don't mess with my little brother

Or you'll have to deal with me

Winter Recital- February 11, 2011

Teague and I had our winter recital last weekend. We both played two pieces, but due to the fact that I didn't know about the recital till the week before, and I didn't start memorizing my first piece till about 5 days before the recital, my first piece has been edited out because it was rather. . . .rough :P :D hehe 

Enjoy!

What Child is This

Chord and I arranged and played a duet of What Child is This for my Christmas Recital. It was kinda rough because we only learned it 2 days before the recital, but I think it turned out pretty well =o)

Christmas Baking...

waiting for icing to harden...

CANDY! :D

 mmm...this is mine, the shingles on the roof are chocolate covered pretzels!! YUM!

 Lol, we made a BIG mess, there was icing COVERING the floor, and I even found some in my apron pocket :D

Haha, this picture I took from Grandma because it was better quality then the ones from our camera :D

New Friends

  This past year I've made some new friends. The college program that I'm doing (CollegePlus! which I still need to do a post on) has a forum that you can get on for study tips, but also to get to know some of the other students. I have made sooo many incredible friends. Each one of them has been a blessing in one way or another, and some of them have become like sisters and brothers to me. 

  This spring I got to meet two of the students that are from Alaska, Esther and her older brother, (and her parents and adorable younger siblings =o)) Then we got to visit again this fall, it was so fun!

Me and Esther

So, even though I'm not going to a community college...it's not like I'm completely shut out from people =o) and I think I like this better, because I don't have to be around them all the time :D

Cadence

 I have this little sister: she's cute, and funny and always makes me laugh even when I don't want to :P

 She does the silliest things and will often make me burst out laughing when I'm right in the middle of something very important and serious.

She has the most "interesting" sense of style of anyone I've ever met. She doesn't care if her shirt is orange and her pants are purple and her socks are blue.....

 Sometimes she can have quite the attitude.

 But she's always willing to help (at least mostly)...

...and she will always try something hard.

I love you Cadence, you're the best little sister ever =o)
