1st Year Anniversary

I missed the 1 year mark of writing this blog!!!! I can't believe it, it does not seem like it has been that long!! I hope you all have been enjoying reading this blog.

Sorry for the slow down of posts.

How many of you watch American Idol? There is only about three weeks left for this season. I would really like to see Kris or Adam win. I like Danny, but if he wins, he will be under contract so he could not record Christian music.

If you don't know, my sister graduated last Friday night!! Maddie and I got to play and sing w/ our homeschooled groups since it was a homeschooled graduation.

I guess that is all for this post.

7 Reasons Not To Mess With Children

My Grandma sent me this not long ago.

7 Reasons Not To Mess With Children

1. A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.The little girl said, 'When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah'.The teacher asked, 'What if Jonah went to hell?'The little girl replied, 'Then you ask him'.

2. A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work.As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, 'I'm drawing God.'The teacher paused and said, 'But no one knows what God looks like.'Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, 'They will in a minute.'

3. A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to 'honor' thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, 'Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?' Without missing a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, 'Thou shall not kill.'

4. One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head. She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, 'Why are some of your hairs white, Mum?'Her mother replied, 'Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white..'The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, 'Mummy, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?'

5. The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. 'Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.' A small voice at the back of the room rang out, 'And there's the teacher, she's dead.'

6. A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, 'Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face.''Yes,' the class said.'Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?'A little fellow shouted,'Cause your feet ain't empty.'


7. The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray: 'Take only ONE . God is watching.' Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note, 'Take all you want. God is watching the apples.'

A Bucket Full of Info

Sorry I haven't been posting in awhile. Things have just been a little on the crazy side.

Since the last time I posted, a few things have happened. To say the least.

Megan just had her 9th Birthday this past Monday. We went to Incredible Pizza with three of her little friends.

We have had our piano recital. It was the last time for Kara. *sniff*

Federation has come and gone. With fairly good results. The new music has been fun to work on. Something new and refreshing! I think I am falling in love with one of our new choir songs.

The last week or so, us four older girls have been battling with a head cold thingy.

Us three older girls are almost done with a speech class that we started back before the holidays.

American Idol has been awesome to watch!! I think that Lil is going tonight. She just hasn't been showing the extent of all she can do with her voice. My favorites have to be Danny, Adam, and Allison.

Have any of you been watching the Mentalist? Oh my!!! I LOVE this show!!! Although the show that was on last night, it was not as good as the one that was on two weeks ago. But I am still a BIG fan of the show!!!

Last month, My mom, great-aunt, greatgrandma, grandma, frenid, and some of my sisters, went up to KC, and saw the Phantom of the Opera play. OH MY GOODNESS!!!! The guy who played the phantom is by far my favorite phantom!!!!! The girl who was Christine was ok, she is better than shara brightman though. The guy who played Raul was not my favorite. I think that Patrick Willion did a better job at it. I really would love to go see it again!!! But I think I know the answer to that. *sigh*

I guess that about wraps up what has been going on around here. Thanks for keeping up with reading!!
