Heyheyhey!
Don't nobody forget that daylight savings time ends tonight!!!
Switch your clocks back tonight!!!!
Wahooooo! A whole 'extra' hour of sleep!!! :D:D:D
Don't forget now!!

Hey Hey Hey!

:D We're in Wisconsin at a waterpark!!
Dad and Mom are here for an FCA pastors convention, and
it was just so conveniently at a waterpark that we hadn't been to...
So they told us we could come along ;)

Oh!!! And we're right next door to a Tanger Outlet :D:D I likey!
Right now our parents have some free time before the next session of
whatever it is that they do at these convention things, so we're back in
our room, and I'm blogging while they play cards...
This is about as close as I think I'll be able to get to "becktime"...
At least I've got some great music playing though ;)

I miss Taffie (and I kinda miss the cat and kittens too...) But I'm glad
that we were able to leave them in such good hands. Thanks T!!

Well all, its time for me to get off of here.
I'm sure soon we'll post some pictures of what we're doing...
And if not ;) which could very well be the case, EVERYBODY HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!

Beware!!!

Beware rainy day and grumpy mood!
I've got Jesus, and orange juice!
And my dog, and new music, and a horse riding
lesson, and kittens!!!!
I'm gonna rise above!!! You can't keep me down!!!

:) I feel better already ;)

Birthday's and all that...

First off. HAPPY CRYSTAL'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!

She's 20 today :D ( old in my opinion, but still fun )

We ( Becky and I ) woke her up this morning at 12:00am. with 4 kittens that we plopped down on her.. :D

Now, getting the kittens to her was no small feat... Because, she's a light sleeper... So we had to 1. sneak out of the house missing the squeaky steps. 2. Sneak out the back door, and not turn on the light. 3. not wake mom up coming in , or going out, ( cause mom fell asleep downstairs, and I didn't want her to club us thinking we were burgalurs or something :P ) 4. Keep the kitties quite while coming in the house. 5 get to Criky without waking her up and then surprise her....

Well. MOst all of that went over fine, But Crystal anticipated us coming to wake her up, so she threw an obstacle in our paths.. She locked her bedroom door!!!! the Nerve!

We had to shush the kittens, and find something to unlock her door. FInally we got in and then woke her up : D That was pretty fun :D

~Secondly, It's the kittens 2 week birthday today!! So here are some new pics :DTHe last one's my favorite :D

Hope you enjoy :D

Gettin' Bigger

Well, the 'babies' are all getting bigger!
There are 3 that are really big and 3 that are pretty small

compared to the others.

And.... After only 8 days the first one opened its eyes!!!

Crystal came running into the house while I was doing school

one day to show off this one :) It had both eyes opened!!!

So far only 2 have both eyes opened.

1 has both eyes shut, 1 has both eyes partly opened, and 2 have

1 eye opened and 1 eye shut.

So, this little one is now starting to walk around and also bat at/wrestle his other siblings :) But it still likes to cuddle too. :)

Well I should blog...

I should blog... I guess that's kind of what I'm doing now, but
this is actually my blog post to say that I'm not blogging... :)
That made total sense didn't it??!
I really should blog, new pictures of the kittens, pictures from
all the stuff we've did over the past few months... (I'm such
a slacker...) But I'm not going to right now! It's cold on the porch,
I still need to take a jog, and all the pictures are on C's computer and
she's on it right now.
So, maybe some day, hopefully (but not necessarily) tomorrow :)
All you blog followers have a great night!!!

:) The Kittens

:D Claire finally had her kittens today!!!

Crystal went out to check on her, and came back in the

house screaming for us to come quick because "there's

a kitten in the box!!!!"

So Rach and I were out there for a few minutes, and then

Jared showed up, he found out that Claire was in "labor" and

called his mom... So here we all are, sitting on the garage floor,

I was calling mom, dad, and T, (who were gone), Rach is

texting a friend, and we all keep updating on facebook :)

She had 4 kittens, 1 orange, 1 gray/white, 1 black, and 1 black/brown.

We waited around for 40ish minutes, and she didn't have

any more so we assumed she was done...
NEVER ASSUME!

Crystal went back out an hour later and came back

yelling that there were more...
So, we have 6 kittens!
They are SO adorable!

Mama and babies are all doing great!

I can't wait to see them tomorrow!

Ahhhh...

Well, I had a ton of schoolwork today.
And I'm quite proud to announce that I have it all done!

We had piano lessons this morning, and when we came
home I worked and worked, then Josh and his family
stopped by to see if mom could put the patches on Camerons's
cub scout shirt (and I took a little break) :).
Then we went to Dixon and had pizza for supper :D
So now we're back home, I've finished my school, and we're going
to watch TV... Ahhhh, what a great way to finish off a rainy day!

Still no kittens yet :( But Claire is looking more massive every
day, so it shouldn't be long now!

How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds.

Faith has been having us work on playing hymn's
in congregational style for piano lessons, and I've been
finding a lot of obscure/unknown (at least to me) hymns.
I came across this one today and really liked it, so I thought
I might as well blog a few verses of it ;)

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer's ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, and drives away his fear.

Jesus, my Savior, shepherd, friend, My prophet, priest, and king,
My Lord, my life, my way, my end, accept the praise I bring.

Weak is the effort of my heart, and cold my warmest thought;
But when I see thee as thou art, I'll praise thee as I ought.
~This hymn was written by John Newton~
