Mum and Dad

2011-07-11T00:55:00.000-08:00

Happy 30th Anniversary

They have taught me a lot about what marriage should and shouldn't be.Yes, like any two sinners trying to live together they have made mistakes but by being willing to admit that and make things right they've been a picture to me of Jesus and the Church(which is exactly what marriage is supposed to be).

So thanks Mum and Dad.... I can't believe you stuck with us all these years....haha ;o)

1 Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

I don't know why.....

Matthew 26:53-54

⁵³Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

⁵⁴But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

They bound the hands of Jesus in the garden where He prayed;
They led Him thro' the streets in shame.
They spat upon the Savior so pure and free from sin;
They said, "Crucify Him; He's to blame."

Upon His precious head they placed a crown of thorns;
They laughed and said, "Behold the King!"
They struck Him and they cursed Him and mocked His holy name
All alone He suffered everything.

He could have called ten thousand angels
To destroy the world and set Him free.
He could have called ten thousand angels,
But He died alone, for you and me.

When they nailed Him to the cross, His mother stood nearby,
He said, "Woman, behold thy son!"
He cried, "I thirst for water," but they gave Him none to drink.Then the sinful work of man was done.

To the howling mob He yielded; He did not for mercy cry.
The cross of shame He took alone.
And when He cried, "It's finished," He gave Himself to die;
Salvation's wondrous plan was done.

He could have called ten thousand angels
To destroy the world and set Him free.
He could have called ten thousand angels,
But He died alone, for you and me.

Romans 5:6-9

⁶For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

⁷For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

⁸But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

⁹Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Bro Chris sang this testimony in song today and I was sad that Dad and Mum missed it cuz I know my dad has a special appreciation for it. I don't think I'd ever heard the whole thing before today I it's actually a really good song and I really enjoyed it. Have you ever tried closing your eyes when someone's singing about the Lord? It really takes all the focus off the person and helps me really listen and appreciate the words.

~Thank you Lord that when you could have you didn't for a wretch like me~

I think we are in the last days......

2010-11-20T16:17:00.005-09:00

^{2 Timothy 3}
¹This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

²For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

I can't help but ask my self these questions...
Am I a lover of my own self?
covetous?
A boaster?
proud?
a blasphemer?
disobedient to my parents?
unthankful?
unholy?

³Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

Am I without natural affection?
A trucebreaker?
A false accuser?
incontinent(no selfcontrol)?
fierce?
Do I despise those that are good, more separated then me, and more concerned with pleasing God and what he thinks about them?

⁴Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Am I a traitor?
Heady?
Highminded?
Do i love pleasure more then God?

⁵ Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Am I faking a form of godliness or do I really want to be like him?
Do other people need to turn away from me?

⁶For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

⁷Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

⁸Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
(From what I understand Jannes and Jambres were the magicians in Pharaohs court who imitated the miracles that Moses performed)

⁹But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.

¹⁰But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

¹¹Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

¹²Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
Am I suffering persucution? If I am not maybe that means I am not living godly in Christ Jesus.

¹³But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

¹⁴But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

¹⁵And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁶All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

¹⁷That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

With God as my strength my faith will not be shaken by what anyone else does and I will continue in the things I have learned and been assured of .......

^{Psalm 62:5-8}
⁵My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
⁶He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
⁷In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
⁸Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

~Thank you Lord for bringing conviction to a wretch like me and please never let me forget~

So we got an hour away from Jo and then our vehicle was not gona go so we had to have it towed to the repair shop..... We had no idea how long it would take to fix it...

We were at a fred meyers and there was a nice green hill by it so we decided we would have to live here and packed up some of our stuff and decided to wait there for our car to get done.....I felt like a bumpkin sitting on a hill right by fred meyers...haha..at least we could run in and get snacks whenever we needed them....haha...

Nothing to do in that situation but eat a donut and drink some breve....

And come up with hairdos.....

And take pics......

Ron you know what I mean... ;o)

Intercessory Prayer

2010-01-27T23:09:00.005-09:00

Why, you would not be angry, I suppose, with a man for having the gout, or a torpid liver, or a cataract in the eye; you would pity him. Why be angry with your brother because of his being proud? It is a disease, a very bad disease, that scarlet fever of pride; go and pray the Lord to cure him; your anger will not do it; it may puff him up and make him worse than ever he was before, but it will not set him right. Pray him down, brother, pray him down; have duel with him, and have the choice of weapons yourself, and let that be the weapon of all—prayer; and if he be proud, I know this, if you prevail with God, God will soon take the pride out of his own child and make him humble as he should be. But particularly let me ask you to pray most for those who are disabled from praying for themselves. Job's three friends could not pray for themselves, because the Lord said he would not accept them if they did. He said he was angry with them, but as for Job, said he, "Him will I accept." Do not let me shock your feelings when I say there are some, even of God's people, who are not able to pray acceptably at certain seasons. When a man has just been committing sin, repentance is his first work, not prayer; he must first set matters right between God and his own soul before he may go and intercede for others. And there are many poor Christians that cannot pray; doubt has come in, sin has taken away their confidence, and they are standing outside the gate with their petitions; they dare not enter within the veil. There are many tried believers, too, that are so desponding that they cannot pray with faith, and therefore they cannot prevail. Now, my dear brethren, if you can pray, take their sins into court with you, and when you have had your own hearing, then say, "But, my Lord, inasmuch as thou hast honoured me, and made me to eat of thy bread, and drink from thy cup, hear me for thy poor people who are just now denied the light of thy countenance." Besides, there are millions of poor sinners who are dead in sin and they cannot pray, pray for them; it is a blessed thing—that vicarious repentance and vicarious faith; which a saint may exert towards a sinner. "Lord, that sinner does not feel; help me to feel for him because he will not feel; Lord, that sinner will not believe in Christ, he does not think that Christ can save him, but I know he can, and I will pray believingly for that sinner, and I will repent for him, and though my repentance and my faith will not avail him without his personal repentance and faith, yet it may come to pass that through me he may be brought to repentance and led to prayer."

That was a bit from a message C.H Spurgeon preached a long time ago. Jordy wrote about my Pastor teaching about Job and tonight he read a bit of this to us. It was very convicting to me since I usually don't think to feel sorry for Christians with the disease of pride. I also never want to be one of those poor Christians that cannot pray because sin has taken away my confidence. This was defiantly an ouch for me.......

Thank you God for showing mercy to a wretch like me

2009-11-29T19:17:00.000-09:00

Let's just say my tingling auntie senses were right.....yes! =o)

2009-11-03T23:44:00.000-09:00

Molly

poem by jock
Fat and dumpy

Pregnant, miserable
Pups hopefully brown black and white
Can't wait

haha isn't the funniest thing you read today? probably not a poem I'd suggest writing about an expecting lady but I don't think molly will be offended ....=oD...so silly...

she's getting so big and grouchy...which is understandable I guess...poor thing...

look how big she is....i can't feel the pups yet but should be able to pretty soon =o) it's neat.............

I'll throw in one of goobie....he's so cuddly.....

It's funny cuz when we were younger I never would of thought we'd be allowed to have puppies or all the other animals we've been allowed to get. I know it seems kinda silly but God made animals for us and I like them =o) So it's kinda neat to be able to have this.....so if any young kids out there are thinking they'll never be allowed to have all those cool animals they see through the glass at petco,,who knows? It might happen someday when you get older and your parents think you'll actually take care of them...then you'll have a blast cleaning up all the kinds of nasty stuff they leave around....haha just kidding it's a lot of fun to be able to experience having different animals....now If we can just get them to let us have a giraffe ...haha that'd be awesome =o)

K.H.
~Thank you God for give a wretch like me animals to enjoy~

Aims-me-bane ;o)

2009-11-03T22:24:00.006-09:00

She'll get the title at least

when I came in tonight Aimee was looking so cute and stylish that I forced her to let me take a pic to make my blog more exciting......

I love her new shoes. Nice choice don't you think Lynse? I'm sure you'll approve =o)

So fashionable...no that's not what she's going for and is really not a big deal...just being her typical cute, unique and very photogenic self =o)
ok aims you owe big big time for all these kind words...heehee.......jk

ooey gooey......

2009-10-28T22:23:00.008-08:00

around this time of year you start to see these gruesome but kinda cool recipes come out....the eyeball soup one is especially grotesque...;o)
don't like halloweens real meaning of course but I think it would be fun to dress up as something and have a costume party or something neat like that.....so I was wondering what you would dress up like if you could....tobi I especially want to hear your idea cuz i'm sure it'll me a stupefying one.....I can't decide what I would dress up like so I'll have to think of it........heehee......silly I know but it's kinda fun to think about =o)

ok wow.....my mum says she's not really a dog person but I don't think that's the real truth....When mum makes popcorn on friday night all the dogs usual hang around to vacuum up whatever pops over the edge..well jane wasn't down there tonight she was snuggled in my bed(that she really thinks is hers) and so she didn't get any....so mum brought her up her own little bowl cuz she missed out and jane loves her popcorn droppings....haha can you believe it? She doesn't bring bekah and me some...just jane...i don't know how you can be more of a dog person.....very funny....=o)

anyways what would you dress up as?.....and jock you can't be a zombie ok?.....heehee........

~Thank you God for giving a wretch like me the family that I have~

unintentional mouse killing?

2009-10-28T21:20:00.004-08:00

so at work i was informed that I possibly squished a mouse and than unknowingly dragged the remains across the floor.oops and eww.....we have boxes of clothes and stuff at our work waiting to be embroidered and I think the mice like to climb in there and make themselves all cozy warm. So I think this mouse was in a box and fell out somehow and then I set the box on it and squished it. then when I dragged the box into the other room i took the mouse with it and apparently it wasn't a pretty site to clean up. My coworker almost threw up. I felt so bad cuz I had no idea it had happened and they kept calling me mouse killer...haha....I mean how'd i squish it? the box couldn't of been that heavy....I'm glad I didn't see it all squished and I feel sorry for whoever found it =o/ .....so I was thinking it would be cool to set up a mouse catcher like smithy made cuz it works really well and catches them alive....but then I was thinking were would I put them once I caught them? can't exactly let them go outside cuz they'd either freeze or come right back to the warm building...I guess I could sneak them home but I don't know how that'd go over....heehee......so I guess i'll just let them roam around crawling in boxes and stuff and try not to unknowingly or knowingly squish any more of them. yeah I know what all of you tough guys are thinking...why don't I just set traps and kill them.....well I don't like to see them all dead in a trap and dispose of them....it's sad =o( so as long as they don't jump out of boxes at me or turn all mouse guard on me I don't mind if they roam around....

=o)

were there is breath there is life.........

2009-10-26T20:08:00.006-08:00

I was thinking recently how nifty it would be to have an ability to talk to someone without actually saying anything just thinking it....I think it's called tele something but I don't want to go look it up...but i mean like have this thing you could turn on in your head to connect with someone elses mind and say something no one else could hear....like at church if I wanted to ask my brother a question but he was at the other end of the pew and I needed to say something to him but didn't want to whisper it cuz it'd be to distracting....i could just turn on that something in my head and like call his head and maybe something in his head would ring or however it would work...not sure about all the details but it'd be nifty and useful in situations when your sposed to be quiet but you really need to say something to someone you know...maybe with the way science is going it'll happen someday and they'll plant something in our heads that can do it...it'd be kinda creepy come to think of it......but enough of that oddish and discombobulating talk...........

I was able to get a handy, cute and diminutive mini laptop with my PFD it's perfect for me despite what certain macbook snobs say and how they(he) turns their(his)nose up at it..heehee.....it's about ten inches wide and just the perfect size for me and it even has a webcam so I can skype with Jo.....6 hour battery life too....very idyllic to have ....I got a white one and a cute sticker to go on top...bekah's getting one too and maybe a sticker too but not a cute one it must be noetic to go with her mature and sophisticated personage so it cannot be cute...her own words...kinda... I like taking mine to take 5 since they have free wifi and it's fun to sit and do something on it......sometimes the girls at take 5 make pretty designs on top of your coffee and it's really neat...it'd be a very ameliorating thing to know.....

One of the mitigating things about it snowing today is that I can start wearing these boots again that mum and tobi got for me last year...i like them alot especially the bottoms =o) I'll probly wear them every day and there gonna be really nice to have....

Jo's blueberry is finally a watermelon!!! =o) I greatly and tragicomicaly miss not being able to feel that watermelon rolling around in there but I know there will be many more I'll probly be able to feel at some point....but I can't wait to cuddle it....I know it will be very unique(haha in a good way (O;) and probly have a really unique name.....though I do think with our family size she shoulda just gone ahead and had triplets so there'd be kinda enough to go around to all the grandad and mum and siblings but I guess she couldn't really help it so its ok...haha =o) I think with my tingling aunt senses that It's a boy but if i'm wrong that's ok...it'd just be cool to have reliable tingling auntie senses =o)

ok is it already nite again? my favorite part of the day but it goes by so fast and then my alarm is going of before I know it =o( i like bedtime...even though it's hard to fit in sometimes cuz jane thinks it's her bed and lays rite in the middle and I just have to squeeze in somewhere...haha....cockamamie dog =o) Molly's puppyfilled!! due around the same time as Jo....On thanksgiving we should have puppies to cuddle with....one of my favorite things.........ok going to that bedtime now.......

about all the oddish words in here.....well bekah says I say some words to much and so I'm trying to expand my vocabulary...hopefully I got everything right.......well It's makes sense to me I guess.....kinda.....

K.H.

~Thank you God for giving a wretch like me another day of life~

it always goes on and on.....(life that is).....

2009-06-09T19:31:00.004-08:00

I have a couple things I wanna write about....hmm....well mom let me drive her around town today and we survived and she didn't ever freak out or anything.....last night I had a dream about Jo's baby in her tummy...it was a boy and he had her nose and he was chubby and adorable and he was smiling and laughing......can't wait till he(was my dream some sort of foretelling??hmm (o;) or she gets here......and now time for recent happenings and pics....how exciting...(not really)....

mum and dad got me a cellphone for my graduation so that was nice =o) I've been getting so many cards and money and stuff in the mail for my graduation... it's so sweet of everyone the send me stuff =o)

The roses are out and you have to enjoy them why you can cuz they always die so soon and don't last all summer.....they're so pretty......edible to...lots of vitamin C ;o)

my finger got smooshed so it's not very pretty right now....I'm always smooshing a finger or a toenail...just ask my fam....it was super swollen for a couple days..I new if I poked it and let in drain it would probably feel a lot better and take the pressure of but there was no way I had the nerve to do that..not unless I was knocked out...when It comes to fingers I'm a wimp about poking it with needles or anything like that....ick.....anyways the swelling finally went down so now all I have to do is wait for the nasty bruising to grow out...it's ok though...it could've been worse....

I love how green everything is right now against the blue sky.....it's so pretty.....

ok now for thee best part of this post....I found out how to scan old pics into your computer so I'm gonna try to put some up every once in a while......These I just think are SO adorable...I just can't get over how cute they are!.....

Who is this little boy and puppy and why did they have to grow up?!
why?! ;o)

isn't belly button a fun word to say?

2009-04-15T20:05:00.003-08:00

This is what's known as a belly button cleaner......

I found these in Oregon and and sent one to my favorite bro-in-law...I don't even know why...just made me think of him for some reason....anyway a while latOr I got a letter and opened it to find this...........................

I hadn't even read it I just saw that stuff and realized my bro-in-law's got a pretty goofy sense of humor and It really made me laugh =o)

It got even funnier when I read it ;o)
.........................
My dearest most compassionate and thoughtful Krista,
All through my childhood and into my adult years I have suffered with the embarrassment of an uncontrollable belly button lint problem. It wasn't until your more than thoughtful gift of the belly button brush that I have had victory over this devastating problem. I am proud to say that my belly button is now lint free. I had no idea it could be so clean. As a token of my gratitude I enclosed the burden you have released me from. I hope that you will put it some place special as a reminder to you of the great deed you have preformed
sincerely, your favorite bro-in-law
Jason
P.S. your sister like is too!

Jo you know It doesn't take much to make me "haha" but this seriously made my day! =o) your guy......well......he's OK.......I guess ;o)

You know your short when.......

2009-04-14T22:03:00.001-08:00

So my little brother asks me(the short one) to come and get somthin down for him....so I go over there and of course can't reach it so I say "here let me lift you up and you can reach it"....well....it turned out he had to lift me up and I got it...ok....when did he get tall and strong enough to pick me up?! that's just sad........a few more inches out of him and I'm totally the shortest in this family...that's just wrong.........;o)

wha?

2009-04-13T14:16:00.006-08:00

Jo your turtles need you to come get them!

Would tomorrow be a good time to come?....... ;o)
I tried to give them a whole photo shoot thing and they did not wanna cooperate! their faces have food all over them.....silly grumpy turtles.....
the month of May.......

I'm counting the days too...what is it like 25 days? at which time I will pat my blueberry of a niece or nephew =o) Is that alaskan blueberry size or store blueberry size?? well I guess actually it will be the size of a walnut by then right? *sigh*..... I wish it was a watermelon already..............................=D

Works been slow lately so i've been getting to come home early.....I really like that.....I'm always counting the hours and thinking how many more wretched(it's funny cuz you're all probably thinkin I'm saying I have wretched stuff on my ipod(well actually it's tobi's ipod that got washed and I Inherited...it works fine and it was free!(o=) but what you don't know is that wretched is the name of an actual radio show (o=) shows I have left on my ipod to listen to.....and if you're totally confused by now that's ok cuz I'm makin myself laugh in a going crazy kinda way.....anyways I really like getting off early... I know it means i'm not making as much money but I don't really care about money......If I didn't know I'm eventually gonna need to get a car and pay insurance and all that stuff I would work only a little bit and stay home the rest of the time =o) and of course with money comes taxes....this was the first time I had to do all that stuff.....but bekah helped me and it only took like 15 mins so that was nice........

oh yeah Jo you missed another great singing of happy B-day......I was just watching the video and it was as scary as usual.....I decided not to post it cuz....well...like I said it was scary and we like to keep noises like that from getting out...for as long as possible =D..... anyways the bike exercise thing is really fun.... I wish me and bekah had some up here to burn some calories why we're watching somthin....it is really nice and very comfortable.....
yeah bekahs reading me that series and she thinks I'm totally not interested even though I am....she just chooses the wrong time to read and wants to read all night!...so I'm laying there nodding off after every other sentence and wake up to something about him drinking tea and how it's funny and i'm like oh no! I think I just missed that whole page I hope nothin exciting happened.....It's kinda hard cuz she's alot smarter than me and understands all those fancy words and stuff so I feel dumb for not knowing stuff like a word that means a certain kind of wall paper or somthin....I'll never never be as smart as that firstborn ;o)....but anyways I do like it I'm just not a great reader to which she would answer your not the one reading it!.......yeah probably all this is only making sense to me but that's ok........she opens the windows at night to so I get really cold somtimes....but it's ok cuz we sleep like spoons.....or like puppies in a pile huddling for warmth....can't wait to get that queen bed somtime....right now it feels like we're camping but that's ok......yeah Jo you're probably not even reading at this point cuz I know you think it's so boring if there are lots of words and no pics.....well I put one pic up there ok? so I'll be really impressed if you've gotten this far =o)
Oh do any of you guys notice that when stuff starts to melt around here it stinks outside....maybe it's just me or maybe it's just our house....I mean we do have some dogs....anyways I just noticed today........
well I think that's about enough crazy confusingness for now....maybe this will keep my clever one and my embarrassing one from telling me to post post post!
Kluane I can't remember who Matthew Maury was....did you take you quiz yet? If you remember tell me ok?.......

This is the bed I was telling you guy about.....it's tucked right under the stairs so it's really cozy =o) cool huh?

Yesterday on our way to here we stopped to walk up to a lighthouse.....it was pouring rain and we were still in our church clothes but for some reason we decided to get out anyways.....WE GOT SOAKED!!!!! especially me and bekah! but it was awesome! It was all rainy and really windy! You probably would of loved it Jordy! we felt miserable after having to ride in a car with soaked clothes but it was totally worth it......
After that we went to the sea lion caves.......you go down an elevator and see all these fat sea loins in a cave with the sea splashing up everywhere.....it stank! And they roar SO loud it was ferociously scary! i kept thinking about what would happen if one got you!! And I heard you swam with these things Smithy?! listen to the roaring in this vid!...........

it's a really nice day today...we actually woke up to blue sky!!! the ocean is so loud and it's so windy out there it's awesome!! We've been eating all kinds of yummy food! I love food on vacation it's like the funnest part!! We're probably eating a lot better then you boys....hehhee ;o) no fighting over the last hotdog k? ya shoulda come........

churches......

2009-03-01T18:53:00.002-09:00

The church at Fossil was really funny.....all the old people were SO excited to see dad and kept saying how much they were so happy we were here and how much they LOVED to here dad preach.....and talking about when dad was a kid and how they taught him sunday school and stuff....it was really funny.........the Pastor and his family are so nice! Remember Mike Mcdowel the guy that came to preach a revival for us? His family is the youngest in the church and he has six adorable kids and the sweetest wife...they were so nice to us and all the old people were so funny and they really like their pastor and the fact that he choose to come there and be the pastor of a church full of old people!! we had a really good time there.....
The church we went to this morning was interesting.......they were actually pretty good but the song service really made me miss my church and the way we sing.....we are so lucky to have good song leaders and piano players.....maybe I haven't been to many churches but most i've been to just don't know how to have a song service and it's all you can do not to crack up ;o) so ya I missed our singing a lot........It's always so interesting to go to new churches and see how they do things.......i don't know how many hands I shook today and how manys times I said my name...everyone there was VERY friendly...it was pretty funny ......anyways I feel like i've been gone forever and miss our church........

awesome waterfall.....

2009-03-01T18:43:00.002-09:00

Remember this waterfall guys?

This waterfall is so cool! there's this bridge you can walk upto through a Forest and all the trees are covered with moss and stuff it reminds you of an elven wood it's so cool!

A couple days ago we hiked to a waterfall.....i'm not generally fond of hiking especially when it's steep cuz i'm such a weakling it just kills me but this hike was actually one of the easiest i've been on......there was a trail leading to a suspened brindge really high up and you could see the waterfall from it.....Really neat! Lisa took some pics i'll have to get from her latOr....but It was pretty cool

more middle......

2009-03-01T17:53:00.003-09:00

Look at this awesome view from our uncles front porch...It was absolutly beautiful when you stand there looking at all the hills with no other building as far as the eye can see! it was really windy there and just an awesome place to go walking around.....

My Uncle has got to be one of the sweetest men I know...he did so much for us to help us have a good time and he's just so nice to be around.......he got all his horsies rounded up for us to ride....i only rode a horse like once before so I was a little scared when I first hopped up there but I just tried to remember that if I didn't act like I was in control the horse would know so I just tried to pretend I was in control and it worked out.......when the horse tried to start running for home and I started bouncing up and down it was like "ouch,ouch,ouch!" every time I hit the saddle and so ya I was a little sore the next day but it was fun ;o)

Caleb wants to do anything and everything outdoorsy that he can down here so he tries to force us to go on hikes and stuff like that when all I wanna do is lay around our cool houses but anyways uncle Jim took him to a place he could raft and i think they had a pretty good time with that....

these are two very sweet dogs....you would like them a lot smithy......they help herd the animals around....they will come and lay their heads on you and they just love attention.....the brown one is still a puppy and like to nip the horses and the bulls so she gets in trouble a lot and gets tied up and she hates it...their very sweet dogs....

so i'm starting in the middle

2009-03-01T17:37:00.004-09:00

It's about the Cross

2008-12-25T11:57:00.006-09:00

Verse 1:

It's not just about the manger

Where the baby lay

It's not all about the angels

Who sang for him that day

It's not just about the shepherds

Or the bright and shining star

It's not all about the wisemen

Who travelled from afar

Chorus:

It's about the cross

It's about my sin

It's about how Jesus came to be born once

So that we could be born againIt's about the stone

That was rolled awaySo that you and I could have real life someday

It's about the cross

Verse 2:

It's not just about the presents

Underneath the tree

It's not all about the feelingThat the season brings to me

It's not just about coming home

To be with those you love

It's not all about the beautyIn the snow

I'm dreaming of

Chorus:

It's about the cross

It's about my sin

It's about how Jesus came to be born once

So that we could be born again

It's about the stone

That was rolled away

So that you and I could have real life someday

It's about the cross

The beginning of the story is wonderful and great

But it's the ending that can save you and that's why we celebrate

It's about the cross

It's about my sin

It's about how Jesus came to be born once

So that we could be born again

It's about God's love

Nailed to a tree

It's about every drop of blood that flowed from

Him when it should have been me

It's about the stone

That was rolled away

So that you and I could have real life someday

It's about the cross

I'm having a thought..or two =o)

2008-10-10T23:25:00.005-08:00

Okay so after this post most of you who wanted me to post are gonna think I posted enough for a month at least, but just remember you wanted me to post right? ;o)
Funky weather were having huh? I love the wind and it rained! God let it rain one more time so we could enjoy it..welll...If you like pouring rain that is...I've been working a little at santa's stiches and a little at the church lately. At santa's stiches is just repetitive routine over and over and over..you pick up a hat and trim than you pick up another hat with the same design and trim and on and on it goes ;o) but It's really the perfect job for me and I'm very thankful for it....At the church I've been climbing on ladders to scary heights and changing light bulbs and all kinds of crazy things =o) But I really like being able to do somthing to help out around my Church....I'm reading the Count of Monte Cristo for school and so far it's soooo good and really exciting. I'm just hoping it ends good cause If it doesn't I'm never reading another book Lisa tells me to again ;o) I'm glad most of you are enjoying the new look of my blog. I love the castle picture too =o)

I recently read a really good page in my days of praise book...I'd like to share a little of it with you cause I think it's a pretty valuable lesson...so most of this I copied straight from the book with I little of my own thoughts mixed in...
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.
This grave warning was not only given to young Christians easily subject to temptations but to everyone...
verse 1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
Satan's greatest victories are won when he can cause the fall of a Christian many people look up to, thereby not only destroying that person's influence for Christ, but also giving "great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme
2 Samual 12:14
Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die. (this was after David had sinned with Bathsheba)
The devil is a roaring lion but he doesn't come as such. If he did, the intended victim would flee. He is above all the one "which deceiveth the whole world"
Revelations 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
As he did with Eve he will apeal to our pride, appetite, or our desire for material things. Peter could speak from bitter experience. Satan had desired to "sift you as wheat" Jesus had told him, but he foolishly boasted he would stand true
Luke 22:31-34
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.
And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
Matthew 16:22-23 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
No wonder Peter could warn with such urgency: "be sober, be vigilant"
I think it's so interesting that Peter COULD from experience. I'm sure all of us would say we would never deny our Lord or let the devil use us like that. But it could happen to Peter, it could happen to any of us. That is a terrifying thought to me! I don't know that anybody looks up to me, but the thought that I could ruin my influence or give occasion for the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme is pretty scary! It should sober us up and make us think....
Note particularly that, in the context, he especially warned against pride
1 Peter 5:5-6 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
We must not allow Satan to "get an advantage over us" Paul say, "for we are not ignorant of his devices"
2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
Thought Satan is deceptive and powerful, we need never fall to his tempting if we simply - along with staying sober and vigilant - submit [ourselves] therefore to God. James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
What an awesome promise that if we resist, he will flee.
I hope you read all of those verses and will think seriously about what the Bible has to say. Sometimes I think we lose focus on what we are here on earth for. We are not here to socialize or live are lives any way we wanna. We're here for a bigger purpose John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
2 Timothy 1:9Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began
Isaiah 43:6-7
I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
We are her to bring glory to God. Nothing else matters. Please don't take this as me just lecturing you. This is more for me than anyone else. And I'm not saying it's easy. I've never really sat down and witnessed to somebody and I get freaked out at the thought of giving someone a track. Doubt's start to fill my head and excuses for why I shouldn't do it. But there is no excuse! Aaron recently reminded me of this verse Proverbs 28:1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. We are so lucky in America to be able to freely hand out tracks and share our faith. It's not like that every where. We have it SO easy here and we don't even know it. So let me encourage you to be bold and hand out a track to that cashier when you're in line or wherever you are. It doesn't mean that person will get saved, but it's a start and you never know...I'm gonna try to. And remember all that stuff I just showed you about the devil? We cannot let him use us like that. You probably don't even know all the people you are influencing and how you could tear them down by letting pride get it the way. With God's help and only by submitting to him can we resist the devil. He will flee from us. That's a promise. And like my Pastor said. "Every promise in the book is mine every chapter, every verse, every line". It's true. So with God's help let's live our lives in a Christ like way and never give occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme. If you get a chance please read 1 Peter 3:8-18 I especially like verse 12 and 13....Oh and you might want to check this video out about a lady who has a very interesting way of handing out tracks....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWGUVTPbn6s....It's a really neat idea....ok I'm done for now =o)

I know that was really long, but It's really been on my heart lately and I felt I should share it....so thanks much for reading it and I truly pray you will meditate on it for a while... ~Krista~

heehee....

2008-09-18T16:04:00.001-08:00

Joyka showed this to us the other day and we died laughing....this is so funny because it's so natural.... it cracks me up so much....

fantastical picture =o)

2008-09-02T22:27:00.005-08:00

This is from the gold dredge earlier this summer...I had so much fun there climbing all over the place with Lisa(that little lady's not afraid to do anything)....clinging to the ladders made my legs get all stiff so I felt like I couldn't walk after I got off =o) Climbing up to those "great" heights did get pretty scary to me, but It was worth it when I finally reached the top....=o) We did a lot of fun things this summer. I get kind of depressed thinking the snow's gonna fly soon. I just wasn't ready at all for this summer to end, but alas, the change is unstoppable...anyways I just thought it was a neat pic so I thought I'd share it...fun memories...

look how neat......

2008-09-02T22:12:00.004-08:00

(remember when you gave me this Tori(o=?)
This pineapple plant went from this:

To this:

And then I picked this cute minature pineapple....

Isn't it awesome that something like this can grow in Alaska?!

The actual pineapple was pretty sour, but we're trying to grow another one so were gonna see what we can do to make it sweeter next time.....I didn't really care that it wasn't sweet though cause I was so excited I could even grow one =o) anyways I just thought this was pretty cool so I wanted to show you all a pic of the cute little mini pineapple that was SO easy to grow.....neat huh? =oD

so beautiful and absolutely amazing......

2008-08-27T10:17:00.013-08:00

I just love looking at all these waterfall pics....I wish I could visit every one =o) They're so spectacular!

Psalm 78:15-16

He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

Psalm 105:41

He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

Psalm 114:7-8

Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

I know those verses are talking about when God made water come from the rock when the children and Israel were in the wilderness but I can't help wondering if it looked like a waterfall when it came out. It seems like we always think it was just some water squirting out of a rock, but in Sunday school Bro. Gerth made the point that there where over two million people out there in the wilderness and that was just the men. So It had to of been more than just a little water trickling out of a rock. Psalm 105 verse 41 did say that the waters gushed out and ran in the dry places like a river. So I wonder if it looked like a waterfall. Just someth'in interesting to think about....anyways I thought you people would enjoy the pictures because they really are absolutely beautiful.....I love waterfalls.......

awwww.....I want one =o)

2008-08-25T10:29:00.001-08:00

Here's the video of oscar =o)

2008-08-22T10:13:00.001-08:00

A memory making time......

2008-08-19T13:36:00.014-08:00

So I have here some random pics from our little trip all over the state =o) We didn't take many but some of these are good....

We had just gotten to Chitina here and the weather was awesome after weeks of rain ;o)

Everyone around the campfire.......we were around a campfire for a lot of the trip so we came home smelling pretty smokey...At least all of my stuff did....But I don't think campfire smell is necessarily a bad smell ;o)

This is Jordan with his amazing stick....they came up with a name for it but I can't remember...somth'in like the ultimate marshmallow roaster 3000 or something like that...but anyways it was pretty cool..... =o)

Walking along the trail.......I broke my hiking boots in real good on the trip...I love them and they are SO nice to have for stuff like this especially since I got them for free thanks to a brother who works at prospectors =o)

Jo is looking uncommonly sweet in this picture....how odd...don't be fooled people...don't be fooled ..heehee ;o)

Jo, Tobi, and I were having some sibling bonding time in the tent =o)

This is one of the many scary parts of the trail....Jo and I thought we were gonna die at some places along the trail but we made it and it was some exciting adventure time and it also had some very pretty spots even though it was scary =o)

Rachel found bear tracks.....cool huh? But probably not as cool and actually seeing a bear and two cubs that night....Wow was that ever neat!

This was the adorable little bunny I almost stepped on walking down the trail....cute huh?

This is a video from Chitina of my little friend Oscar.....Oscar and I became fast friends after I gave him a little treat...He then started to follow us all around hoping for food and ended up bringing a friend and then they started being naughty and getting into things they shouldn't of like the tent...But if you want to hear all about that you'll have to talk to Jo and she'll be more than willing to tell you the whole story....Let's just say they got little to comfy with being around us....One even tried to come home with us by trying to hide in the car...it was funny ;o)

I guess it was silly scary pic time or somth'in so these were tak'in in the car on a dark night in Ninilchik =o) I had a lot of fun in Ninilchik and Homer and Anchor point where my future bro-in-law lives. My future bro-in-laws house is looking very nice. Even though he is a little strange(Isn't everyone in this family?Actually we're not strange everyone else is (o=) and won't build me a guest bedroom with a jacuzzi in it(I can't understand why he wouldn't wanna (o;) I'm starting to think he's gonna be a very likable addition to the family. Just don't tell Jo I said so ok? =o)

Food!!! Food and coffee was a major part of this trip =o) So on the way back through Anchorage we stopped to eat......

We all got yummy drinks.......I got a freckled lemonade and it was VERY good.......

Soooo It was mostly a fun memory mak'in time and it was nice to be able to got out and enjoy what we have left of summer....

~Krista Renee~

look people!!

2008-07-30T15:51:00.003-08:00

Blue sky!!!!! oh I hope it lasts =o)

hmm..this could be one scary post....

2008-07-22T21:11:00.002-08:00

The Black terrorist is curled up by me on the couch....no one really likes her right now cause she's being bad..but It's hard not to like her when she's cuddling with you =o) But when she poos on a pile of your clothes it's a whole nother story...just ask Tobi...=o)

Anyways....Denali park was fun on saturday...I mostly just slept on Jordys shoulder cause we didn't see very many animals but being with everyone was still fun. The next time we go Aaron is going to buy me this cute $42.99 woolly mammoth puppet I saw there ;o)......
I recently discovered I've been putting toilet seat covers on wrong my whole life pretty much. It all happened when I noticed directions on the toilet seat cover box. It was like a step by step guide on how to put it on the toilet seat. It cracked me up at first and I was thinking how dumb it was that someone would think we need instructions like that, but once I actually looked at it I noticed that I have been putting them on backwards this whole time. So it turns out I was the dumb one....anyways I don't know why I choose to share that with you...I guess it just cracked me up so I had to tell someone that people out there really do need those instructions...dumb people at least=o)...well I did worn you this could be a scary post....I guess that's what happens when your life isn't very exciting and that's the funniest thing that can happen to you =o)
I been wearing my cool lime green mountain hardwear shell everyday because it's been cloudy...so I wear it in case it just happens to start pouring....or even sprinkling works for me...=o)

Mom is pushing me to get my school for the year figured out so I guess I need to go pick some books out....If you can think of a really good classic I should read let me know...preferably in the next few hours so I can get it all figured out by tonight....Just kidding...you could let me know tomorrow =o)
~me~

One of thee most amazing sounds in God's creation!

2008-07-07T22:45:00.004-08:00

Jeremiah 51:16

When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.

oh I just love the sound of rain! Tonight I went outside and the sky was getting all gray and stormy and then it started to flash lightening and thunder. So Jock and I stood in the door and watched cause we were afraid we might die if we ventured off the porch ;o) But finally I asked Jock to race me across the yard and we didn't get struck after all....And then it started to POUR!! wowza did it pour!....It was absolutely amazing!...Of course it only really pours for a few minutes but it's awesome when it does.....I know the rest of you probably aren't as excited about rain as I am but since we only get for a few months I HAVE to enjoy it while I can. I stayed out in it for a little while cause I wanted to get soaked but It didn't really start to pour until I came in so I took a video real quick. It's actually really relaxing so you should sit back and close your eyes and just listen =o) If you want to that is. Or you can just sit back and think I'm a little odd for being so excited about something like this. Either one is okay with me I guess ;o)

I started working at Jo's work a few weeks ago. I'm a trimmer =o) SUper easy work so it's a good first time job. So I pretty much just sit around and listen to Way of the Master podcasts all day. Even though the work is easy I still find myself counting the hours until lunch time and then counting the hours until it's time to go home. =o) On Saturday I went to the lake with my buddy and came home with a sunburn well actually I only got half a sunburn on my right side. So I was feeling pretty sorry for my self but then I saw Jo and all my pain melted away. Her sunburn was like 10 TIMES worse than mine! It gives me pain at work just to look at her poor red self every day! I'm hoping one of these days we'll get a clue and realize us fair ones cannot go out in the sun for extended periods of time without our friend sunscreen =o) And then on Sunday afternoon some of us when back to the lake a paddled around in the canoe for a while and then we got dumped out of the canoe after a certain somebody faithfully promised not to let us get dunked! So yeah I'll be holding that grudge for a while ;o) I ordered these really neat swim bottoms called a skort and I can't wait for them to get here...I hoping they'll work out like I want them to. You see It's not like I don't like getting in the water...I just like doing it one MY own terms ya know? =o)

Singing "I'm in the Lords army" =o) so fun....we found out you absolutely can't do this sitting down ;o)

More yummo snacks....cupcake Icecream cones!!...

Craft time....

more snacking =o)

And now for some entertaining videos =o)

This one was from firefighter night when the kids learned how to crawl under "smoke" =o)

This is Jordan giving a physical example of what someone should do if they're are on fire. In other words if Jordy was ever one fire...you would know ;o) You can tell the kids got a big kick out of it =o)

Playing hot potato.....This was a pretty funny game =o)

2008-05-27T20:59:00.009-08:00

Pictures of us on the way down....

Ipod time! Me and Jo listened to her ipod together almost the whole time =o)

At the neat memorial

Lovely Alaska....

Taking silly pics in the car because we were bored

We went to Homer a couple times....It made me think of the time I went Halibut fishing with Heidi, Ang, and Bekah in Homer.

It's so fun to be on the beach discovering all kinds of creatures and stuff!

Collecting shells by the ocean in Homer

And of course we found some slugs...

We went to a really yummo Mexican restaurant in Homer

It had these really cool chairs there.....

By the ocean....It was SO windy out there!

Jason had this really cool kite he brought to fly by the ocean. It was SO powerful and sometimes it looked like he was going to fly away. It was really cool and when he asked us if we wanted to fly it Aimee was the only one brave enough to. Isn't that cool? So he held on to her so she wouldn't blow away and she said it was really fun =o) It was really neat.

Here is Jason flying his super amazing kite.....molly was going crazy =o)

And no Jock doesn't have his own cell phone he's just play'in with Jordys old one.

This is the Water fall that Jason took us to. We had a lot of fun on this little adventure!

Standing by the ocean!

There were So many eagles down there!

On the way back we stopped at Mt. McKinley and took a pic in front of it. Isn't it huge?

Some more of beautiful Alaska

Isn't my little brother cute with his big blue eyes?

This is Aimee and I excited about having only about three more hours until we got home!

So yeah that's probably way to many pictures, but we get a little camera crazy when we go places.....but anyways that my 100th post about our interesting trip to Ninilchik =o)

When a person changes their blog is probably the only kind of change that's ok with me =o)

2008-05-21T13:53:00.003-08:00

I'm thinking of a new name for my blog.....It might take me a while to come up with something...
I hoping the new look is not the kind that "pretty much will make your mouse arrow speed for the X in the top right corner." ;o) But if it does I'm sorry cause I like it and I'm keeping it.

Some of my fam is going to Ninilchik this weekend. We'll be gone from Friday through Tuesday. I'll probably post some pics cause we're taking the laptop with us. I don't think we could be separated for the internet for that long and survive so we're taking it with us. Actually I don't even know if we can get internet down there but I'm sure there's some way. So If anything super exciting happens while I'm gone you'll can e-mail me or post about it or something =o) I mean a lot of exciting things can happen in five days right?

~Krista Renee~

2008-05-14T17:51:00.001-08:00

hey..just wanted to let you people know there's a recital on Friday at seven if anybody wants to come...There will be punch and cookies so you can at least come for that ;o)

2008-05-02T21:49:00.002-08:00

Well I'm excited cause I finished math today! yes! freeeeedom for the summer =o)
I also killed my first mosquito for the summer. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. They've been popping out everywhere lately. uh..that's probably the only bad thing about summer..all the bugs.

It's looking so summery outside! Right now It looks like it might rain! I would love to hear rain right now =o) I love the sound of rain!

I'm craving a Ben and Jerry's ice cream right now because a saw Caleb with one. But I really don't need one so I'm gonna resist the temptation.

Okay I guess that's my unsystematic paragraph for the day.
Leaves are just around the corner =o)

my very own pineapple plant =o)

2008-04-25T12:10:00.004-08:00

Look at this cool pineapple plant Tori and Bekah found for me last night!

Isn't it adorable? =o)

I've been reading up on it online and they are fairly easy to take care of. So I hope it survives. If the little pineapple turns golden you can pick it. Isn't that neat! I'm so excited about my little pineapple!! I've always wanted one but I never knew that they existed like this!

Thanks so very much =o)

"Is every day like this?"...."no, yesterday we had meatloaf" ;o)

2008-04-16T22:26:00.003-08:00

This is what's known as a typical b-day party in the Humphrey house.....

Scary no?

P.S. Only the really special people out there will know what the title of this post meant =o)

they're gone =o(

2008-04-14T10:31:00.012-08:00

The puppies had to leave today....

wow Kluane and still can't believe I'm SO short in all my pics with you. It just ain't fair ;o)

In this video mommie was taking a break from being with her babies and the babies were not to happy about it. Funny how loud they get huh? =o) Isn't the brown one adorable?

Their eyes were just starting to open. They were so sweet and we had so much fun holding them. I'm gonna miss them =o( Bekah might get one but we'll just have to see. They were so snuggly and soft. aw...... =o) I love puppies.....

ok finally people..here it is

2008-04-07T22:59:00.002-08:00

Sorry it took me so long. I was waiting for someth'in to pop into my head and it finally did. I'm know It could be better but here it is anyways:

The “real” Part 6: The Password

"The password!!!!!!! What is it!!!!!!!! Tell me NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!"

“What?”Paul asked totally bewildered.

“Oh, you know what I mean” Laura screeched, “The password to get into the computer chip we found on your cell phone! What is it!?”

So there Paul sat tied to a chair surrounded by lunatics, one in particular who didn’t seem to know the meaning of a normal volume level and yet all he could think of was how hungry he was and how annoyed he was that they were touching his stuff. That and the fact that the shoelace that tied him to the chair was getting looser and looser the more he wiggled were the only thoughts occupying his mind at the moment. He was unusually calm for someone who was being screamed at by a crazy lady and for someone who didn’t have a clue what this was all about, but then that’s how Paul always handled things like this. Paul started thinking hard. “Ok” his mind told him, “you’ve got to distract her. Distract her so you can figure out how to get out of here”.

“Laura” Paul said in a gentle voice, “did you have a bad childhood or something?”

Laura’s face changed instantly. “Why yes” she said in a strange voice, “I did, you see it all started with the kitty I never got for my birthday. I always wanted a kitty but my Dad said “No cats in the house” and I’ve been scarred ever since, although that doesn’t even compare to the time I didn’t get to go to my friends………” And Laura started off on a lengthy story about her childhood and how scarred she was. It was all Paul could do to keep a straight face and look interested. His plan was working and while Laura blabbed on and on he took a look around him. He was definitely in a basement and it looked old. There were two doors as far as he could see, and one he knew led to another room that Darius was in apparently going through his stuff while the other he wasn’t so sure about but he figured it led to the way out, his escape. That shoelace was getting looser all the time and Laura kept right on blabbing. Darius came in just as Laura was saying “And then there was that time and didn’t get those Twinkies ‘cause my mom said they’d make me fat…..”.

“Laura what are you doing?” Darius asked in an amazed voice.

“What?” Asked Laura snapping out of it, “I was….well I was um….I was getting the password out of him duh!”

Paul wriggled his hands as hard as he could.

“Well, that’s not what is sounded like” Darius said suspiciously.

Paul was almost loose.

“Well I was!” Laura’s voice was loud again and turning back to Paul she said “Alright buddy this is your last chance, now give me that password!”

He was free! Paul kept his hands down and tried to stay calm.

“Distract them” he thought, “Just distract them.”

“Um…” He said, “Try “certain people are annoying 456”.”

“Ok, that was random” He thought to himself. Paul didn’t always work well at thinking up things right on the spot, but he seriously hoped they would take it.

“Give that thing to me!” Laura screamed and Darius running over and snatching the cell phone.

“Uh!” Whined Darius in a hurt voice, “You don’t have to be so pushy.”

“You’ll get over it!” Laura was saying as she pushed the buttons on that cell phone super fast, “Let’s see are there two n’s in annoying?”

“If you would just let me do it!” Darius whined, “I know how to spell.”

Then Darius and Laura started to argue over whom could spell, and Paul saw his chance. He jumped up and ran for that door as fast as he could. It opened and he ran out.

“Oh no Darius!” Laura yelled in anger, “GET HIM!!”

And while Darius ran after Paul, Laura finally finished the “password”. The cell phone started blinking red and beeping very fast!

“What’s happening!!” Laura cried.

Paul found himself in another large room with a door at the far end and a stair close to him that lead up and around a corner he couldn’t see. He could hear Darius behind him and although he wasn’t really scared of the ken type Darius, he still wanted to get out of there and he decided to head for the stairs seeing as they were closest to him. The stairs went for a long way up and Paul started getting really tired of running .Paul heard a voice behind him yell in a gruff voice “Did he get away?”

The voice wasn’t Darius’ and Paul had to get a look at who this person was. He turned around for a split second and looked over the rail of the stairs to a few flights below him. Now Paul wasn’t one to be easily scared, but what he saw scared him. It was a tall and thick man who looked very strong and was carrying the biggest tazer Paul had ever seen. Paul didn’t get a really good look at this man because once he saw the tazer he forgot all about his burning legs and ran as fast as he could. He finally came to a door and pulled it open. Then Paul realized his mistake. The door led to the top of the building with no apparent way down. He was at least four flights up and there was no way he could jump.

“NO!” Paul’s mind screamed “This isn’t fair!”

So there Paul was trapped on the top of a building with a big guy holding a tazer coming after him. Little did he know that he wasn’t the only one with problems and that down in the basement an even bigger problem was about to go off in a few minutes if it wasn’t stopped!

Part 7 the final chapter?: trapped! By thee great Tobi

So adorable!

2008-04-07T18:49:00.003-08:00

This is the dog and pups that Bekah is babysitting. They are SO sweet! awww =o)

April 1st.....

2008-04-01T17:41:00.004-08:00

Paul the critic. The password:
"The password!!!!!!! What is it!!!!!!!! Tell me NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!"
“Uh” said Paul, “look, I’ve got no clue what you’re screaming on and on about and you really don’t have to scream cause it’s starting to hurt the ears so please shush.”
In the midst of all this Laura said "My hair is looking so bad today!"
"Actually"Paul replied. "I was just thinking it looks pretty good." Paul had absolutely no idea why he said this. Was he becoming as insane as they were. He was getting scared now!
“Well thanks.....but back to the business at hand” said Laura in a long drawn out sort of way, “we have ways of getting information out of people who so conveniently seem to not know what we need to know don’t we Darius?....DARIUS!?!”
“I’m right here!” Darius answered, “You don’t always gotta yell you know?”
“It’s so not my fault if I have to yell for you every time and want you because you’re never right here were you need to be” Laura almost yelled to him.
“Hey you told me to search his things so I was searching his things!” Darius retorted, “how can I be searching his things and right by your side all the time?”
“Oh stop rambling!” Laura screeched, “You really are pathetic you know? Now help me move him to the hospital room upstairs and sterilize that needle.”
“Hospital room?!” now Paul was starting to raise his voice, “NEEDLE!?” Paul despised hospital rooms and anything to do with them. The smell the whole feeling and everything just creeped him out and made him not want to be anywhere near them, and when he heard the word needle he was needless to say far from overjoyed.
“What’s the matter Paul don’t like needles?” of course this was Laura speaking.
Before Paul could speak he was gagged and bound by Darius and pushed onto a cart to be rolled to the hospital room upstairs.
"Ouch!" shouted Laura.
"What?", asked Darius.
"I just broke a nail because you're pushing this thing to fast... now slow down!" She was being loud again.
“This can’t be happening can it? I can't be on this cart being pushed by two probably insane people on my way to be stabbed by some needle!” Paul’s mind screamed, “This is some form of torture their planning isn’t it?”
On the way to the Hospital room they met up with someone who looked familiar to Paul but he just couldn’t remember where he had seen him. Maybe it was the entire trauma that Paul was going through at this time that caused his memory loss but whatever the case it just wouldn’t come to him who this guy was.
No one said a word until they reached the room. Than the strange guy spoke “Prepare the needle.” He said in a low deep voice. All of a sudden it came to Paul who this man was. The strange critic! “It figures he has something to do with this.” Thought Paul.
Paul watched in a bit of horror as Darius prepared a very sharp looking needle. Than the needle came toward him. “Now then” said Laura removing Paul’s gag. “Are you quite sure you don’t want to tell us the password?”. “I….I…” Said Paul who was becoming just the tiniest bit scared at this point, “I told you I honestly don’t know, so you really don’t have to stick me with that thing.” “oh” said Laura in a sickly sweet voice, “I’m afraid we do”.
“Darius!” yelled Laura, “Stick that thing in his arm already”. And Darius did. Paul was out like a light bulb that was never to burn again.
“Hmmm” said Darius, “that’s wasn’t supposed to happen.”
The strange critic quickly felt for a pulse on Paul. There was none and he shook his head and Laura.
“DARIUS how much did you put in that vile?!” Laura screeched.
“Umm…A full tube full?” Darius replied in a scared voice.
“A full tube full is lethal you blockhead!” The strange critic said, “He’s dead!”
“Oh how sad that’s he’s dead” whined Laura, “And a bit disappointing too seeing as he was so cute.”
“And I’m sure you’ll be disappointed at what will happen to you now.” said a voice behind them. It was the other woman critic who quickly slammed and locked the door and then ran quickly away.
All of a sudden the people left in the room heard “beep…beep……beep…..beep”.
“What is that sound?” whined Laura.
“A bomb.. duh.” said the critic.
“A BOMB!?” screeched Laura, “I’m too young and to cute to die!!”
“Uh,” said the critic, “that’s a matter of opinion”.
And you reader will just have to imagine the rest….Maybe they lived and maybe they died. Maybe Darius and Laura got out somehow and lived happily ever after. Or maybe someone else lived happily ever after because of course that's the way every story should end right?

2008-03-24T12:20:00.003-08:00

Someone had a genius idea to paint onesies at Natasha's baby shower. So here are the two that Heidi and I did.

I did the one with the little car. And Heidi did the cute train one =o)
Heidi was very happy with her choo choo onesie =o)

It was a lot of fun and the food was so yummo! I loved having a pickle with my icecream and cake. It actually tasted really good. Natasha is one of the cutest little pregnant ladies I've ever seen =o) It was a very nice shower =o)

This is my attempted window picture. I just felt like taking one to see how it turned out. =o)

Anyways I hope everyone's week is going good even though I can't wait for Monday to be over. I don't like Mondays at all. Accept for the very end where I get to go back to bed. I wish I could just pull the covers over my head on Monday morning and sleep all the way through to Tuesday. But I don't think that's possible. Anyways let me know if anything exciting happens in you peoples week =o)
~me~
p.s. By the way I'm wondering who said the have never brushed there teeth in the sink on the poll..... hmmmm it must have been a real wierd person ;o)

did you know....

2008-03-02T16:45:00.004-09:00

People in large families sometimes have to brush there teeth in the kitchen sink? I think it must have something to do with the bathroom always being full our something. hmmmm =o)
Has this ever happened to you?

For my brother....

2008-02-19T19:25:00.006-09:00

This comics is SO funny and it reminds me so much of Tobi. I don't exactly know why, but I do know that Tobi really likes this guy and Tobi is a musician and Tobi can be like this sometimes ;o) so anyways I thought it was funny so I thought I'd share it with you people =o)
http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/peanuts/archive/peanuts-20080217.html

girls are giggly.....

2008-02-16T14:16:00.013-09:00

Does taking billions of pictures count as nothing?

So last night I spent the night with Jo upstairs in Bekah's bed(since bekah's gone right now) and in the morning Aimee and Kluane decided to climb in with me and then someone decided to take billions of pics.

So here's what we looked like:

And here is what THEY sounded like:

That's what happens when you try to take a video of giggly girls who just woke up =o)

sooo kind of scary but not to scary right? ;o)

2008-02-14T11:15:00.006-09:00

Winnie the Pooh quotes:

“If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you.”

“Promise me you'll never forget me because if I thought you would I'd never leave.”

“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?""

“If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.”

“Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering"

“"I wonder what Piglet is doing," thought Pooh. "I wish I were there to be doing it, too."

“When late morning rolls around and you're feeling a bit out of sorts, don't worry; you're probably just a little eleven o'clockish.”

“"I don't see much sense in that," said Rabbit. "No," said Pooh humbly, "there isn't. But there was going to be when I began it. It's just that something happened to it along the way."”

“A bear, however hard he tries, grows tubby without exercise.” =D

“Pooh looked at his two paws. He knew that one of them was the right, and he knew that when you had decided which one of them was the right, then the other was the left, but he never could remember how to begin”

“"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best -- " and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called”

“When having a smackerel of something with a friend, don't eat so much that you get stuck in the doorway trying to get out.”

“"That buzzing-noise means something. If there's a buzzing noise, somebody's making a buzzing-noise, and the only reason for making a buzzing-noise that I know of is because you're a bee. .... And the only reason for being a bee that I know of is making honey..... And the only reason for making honey is so as I can eat it." So he began to climb the tree.”

Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known.

2008-02-12T17:18:00.002-09:00

So my buddy tagged me and I guess i'm supposed to tell you people six random facts about me.

Here's what I came up with:

1. I love walking by the ocean and collecting shells and finding all kinds of neat things. I don't like being on the ocean since that last time I was on one all I did was feed the fishies, but I still like walking by it and looking out at it while I wonder about all the cool creatures that live in it.

2. I can't ever wear toe socks because of my "special" otherwise known as duck feet ;o)

3. Sometimes when i'm all alone at a piano I try to do a little composing. Of course I could never be as awesome as Tobi is but I have fun with it =o)

4. I sleep with a bunny Kassandra gave me for Easter a long time ago. It's big, yellow, soft and cuddly. I love it =o)

5. Whenever I watch a sad movie alone I ALWAYS cry!

6. I LOVE rain. It's one of the things I miss most in the winter! The sound is so nice, and I love it when it pours REALLY hard. It's SO cool!

Well there you have it. Six random facts about me.
I think I'll tag Aimee and Kluane

I went to the eye doctor today to have a checkup and get new glasses. They dialated my eyes so they looked like two HUGE black holes in my head for the rest of the afternoon! creepy...I hate getting my eyes dialated....but anyways I'm getting new glasses so that's exciting =o)

It's freezing outside and there's no electricity?! not good ;o)

2008-02-06T13:24:00.000-09:00

So the electricity was off for like three hours this afternoon. I was at church doing my school in the dark and it started to get a little cold since there was no heat, so I decided to come home =o)
It's funny cause even when you know in your mind that the electricity is off, your hand still automatically goes to the light switch when you walk into a room. Wierd. So anyways we stuffed a bunch of wood in the stove and made a pot of chili on top for lunch. And I wrapped my pizza in foil and put that on top of the stove too. Well it worked almost as well as a microwave =o)
Anways it's back on now. It was really hard to be separated from the internet for three hours! ;o) I'm joking of course.....we managed to survive... =o)

Happy February 1st! =0)

2008-02-01T16:48:00.000-09:00

It's the month of Valentines day candy and cinnamon rolls! My mom always makes cinnamon rolls on Valentines day. In fact I think that's is the only day of the year we get cinnamon rolls, but that's probably a good thing. ;o)
Aimee's b-day is this month too...That means cake!yum! What a yummo month this is huh?=o)

Onion goggles? Who would have thought =o)

2008-01-23T13:23:00.000-09:00

These are my onion goggles that Tori and Lanae got me for Christmas after listening to all my whining about how chopping onions makes me cry ;o) They work really well! I'm making something for dinner today with onions in them and I got them all chopped up without shedding a tear. I think they're pretty cute too, and that helps me not to feel like such a dork when my fam is watching me chopping onions with goggles on =o)
I'll definitely be using these every time I chop onions! So thanks a bunch girls! They're awesome ;o)

About "My exciting new class with the really cool teacher" ;o)

2008-01-15T19:38:00.000-09:00

So Bekah(aka "the really cool teacher") came up with this literature class thing for me where I read a book and then she gives me all these questions to answer and stuff like that. Right now I'm reading William Shakespeare's "Much ado about nothing". It's hilarious once you get to understanding the words and everything. I read some of it out loud to Aimee in whatever accent I imagine the people saying it and she usually just laughs at my pathetic attempt at acting =o) It would be really interesting if people talked like that now days =o) So who out there loves Shakespeare? If you haven't even read anything he's written then you're REALLY missing out on some high class stuff... And even if you can't understand a word of it you should still read it just for fun ;o)

~me~

First post of 2008...

2008-01-10T17:20:00.000-09:00

It's been hard to get back into routine this week. I've gotten so used to staying up till midnight over my Christmas vacation. But staying up till midnight and trying to do school the next day doesn't work to well=o)
We got to shoot two arrows at a time at Archery this week. That was pretty fun =o) It's weird though cause when you shoot two arrows at a time they fly in two completely different directions.
I'm waiting for mom to figure my school out to see if I have any money left for music. There are SO many piano books I want to order! I could easily spend over a hundred on piano books, so It's hard to pick the ones I really want cause all of them look good.
Other than that not much is really going on. I've been working on some stuff for Bro. Gerth. He's the best person ever to work for(if you call typing up messages work). He always pays me way more then I need =o)
Well I guess that's enough for now. Tomorrow is Friday! I leave you with that exciting thought =o)

~Krista~

2007-12-29T16:06:00.000-09:00

Well... it's back to the black and yellow template for me. No more Christmas colors =o( That's the one thing I don't like about Christmas. The day after Christmas you stop listening to Christmas music and have to put all the decorations away...but I guess it can't go on forever. =o(Anyways now I have to think up a new poll.....At least I still have like a week off of school left! That's cool. I'm excited about our New Years Eve party. I hope everyone gets to come!
There will be lots of yummy food there =o)
We watched Star Wars(the really good old ones)last night. It was still just as good as the first time I watched it. Although I don't even remember the first time I watched it cause I've seen it a billion times, so maybe I should just say it was as good as the last time I watched it =o) It's just so fun to watch. Brings back lots of memories!
Well I guess that's all for now..............
~Krista~

Pics! =o)

2007-12-26T10:28:00.000-09:00

These first pics are from Christmas Eve. Mike and Kassandra came over and we had Cob salad for dinner(yum). And then came presents! I'm sure Mike and Kassandra got a little bored sitting there watching us open present after present, but hopefully they didn't get too bored =o) I was VERY spoiled. Jo ended up having my name. I was pretty sure she had me all along, but I didn't really know for sure until Christmas Eve =o) Anyways she got me a bunch of really cool stuff! Jordan got all they guys these guns that shoot bbs. They are really cool cause they look like the real thing. So they had a little war at the old house and there were bbs flying everywhere! =o)

Anyways here are some pics..........

The tree and presents!

Tobi got me these slippers. They are REALLY comfy and warm! =o)

Jock got a vest, hat, and a gun! He was spoiled too =o)

Opening playmobil!

Playing with the guns! Jo made me that hat I'm wearing. I love it! And Jordan got me the shirt I'm wearing. I love it too =o)

These pics are from Christmas day. Christmas morning we got our presents from mom and dad. I got cute pink towels, a cute pink vest and a really pretty sewing basket.
We had a fancy dinner Christmas night.

Aimee made these Strawberry tart things....

Jo made this really yummy pizza....

And I made this tomato basil french bread stuff......

Everything was really good!

Ahhhh warmth........=o)

So most of you know this, but for those of you who don't live in Alaska..... it's FREEZING up here right now!!! So a warm fire is VERY nice....

Isn't the tree stuffed with candy cute? It looks like it's about to pop! =o)

Caleb graduated last night. My mom is gonna post pics on our blog sometime soon. Mom was taking a bunch of pics of us, so I grabbed the camera and took a funny pic of her with her mouth full of food, but she wouldn't like it very much if I put it on here so I not gonna even though it was really funny =o) The graduation was at Pikes, and there was like a buffet dinner and dessert and stuff. I thought the food was really yummy. If I had time I would tell you every detail of it and you would laugh! We laughed a lot, and if you want to know why you'll just have to ask one of us sometime =o) It was a lot of fun though.......

I have about four days left to get all my Christmas stuff done! I made the kiss cookies tonight. It always takes such a long time to make that many cookies! So it's nice to be done! =o)

Well I better go for now.......try to stay warm ;o)

All us students got Bekah an american girl doll grand piano. It's really cute and actually plays!

Cadence and Tarissa were the ones who really wanted to be up there. They had there own little recital after ours... They're pretty cute huh!? ;o)

2007-12-14T10:24:00.000-09:00

Bekah, Aimee, Jock and I decorated the church last night for the recital. It turned out really pretty! Then we came home and watched a Cary Grant. It was one of the really funny ones! It had us all laughing really hard =D I just love that kind of a funny movie!
Anyways tonight's gonna be really fun! Bekah was going to put me last, but she decided to be nice and put me second to last...uh! =o) oh well.....I'm sure it will be just fine....well I'm gonna go make some cookies for tonight.
Ta ta for now ;o)

yippy for school holidays! =o)

2007-12-12T11:25:00.000-09:00

I get to take the week of Christmas and the week after that off school so I decided to double up on school so I could take the week before Christmas off too! And I'm almost done!! I wanted to be able to take next week off to bake and stuff. I'm excited!
This Friday is the recital. It's gonna be really fun! Instead of a tea party we're having a hot chocolate party(With coffee of course (o;)..... I'm not really nervous... I know that I have my songs down, but I still get a little worried that I'm gonna get up there and completely forget my first notes or somth'in. But whatever happens is gonna happen and at least I'll know that I could play the song at one point even if I mess it up at the recital. So once I get all my school done this week and the recital out of the way... next week will be freedom!! =o)
It a good thing I'm gonna have some time to do things too cause I still have like four Christmas present projects I need to get done for certain people and some of them are gonna take a while.
I STILL don't know who has me! But I have it narrowed down to three people ;o) Some people are SO secretive. oh well... I guess it won't kill me to wait till Christmas =o)

2007-12-05T15:10:00.000-09:00

So I wanna know something you really like about this time of year. I mean like a favorite Christmasy movie or book or favorite thing to bake or just about anything to do with this time of year.

One of mine would probably be the Dr. Suess book "How the Grinch stole Christmas". It's SO cute! I'm also hav'in a lot of fun making Christmas goodies =o)

So please let me know if there's any little something you like in particular about this time of year! I'm sure you have something....

I'm stealing my worst enemies(AKA my sweet little sister Aimee(O;) idea and putting a pic of my stocking on here. It has dancing cows on it! Is not it cute?

They look very Excited about Christmas don't they? =D

maybe this will help the friday tears ;o)

You wouldn't think an onion chopper would be this exciting but for me it is! This is sort of an early Christmas present. Mom told Jo to get it for me and I told Jo to get it for mom all in the same day! So mom just decided to give it to me early. Our old one just broke a while ago and it wasn't very good. But this one is really cool cause the onions go down into the bottom and don't pop all over the place out the top. So I'm thinking if they aren't popping in my face they won't make me cry so much! At least that's what I'm hoping for. I guess I'll find out this Friday! I'm super excited to try it... I mean It was seen on TV and it is Lime green so it HAS to be a good one right?? Well I thought It was cool so I just thought I'd show you guys! =o) Thanks mom!

my poor eyeballs..........

So once again I was crying in the kitchen today. I cry in the kitchen EVERY friday. Why? Well.......every Friday I usually make dinner and for some reason everything I make has onions in it and every time I try to chop onions the tears just flow.... SO I really really don't like chopping onions(the stinging in my eyes is SO not pleasant), but for some reason I still keep putting them in everything I make. So every friday I have a good cry in the kitchen =o)

We're go'in to the hockey game tonight. fun!
And tomorrow is December 1st!!! very exciting.......... I did some Christmas shopping with mom last night. I always find things I want to buy for the same people every time I go because some siblings are just so easy to buy for and others are SO not. So I guess because some of the siblings are SO picky...they are just not going to get as much and others =o)
But I think we ALL know who's going to get spoiled over here. A certain little solder, warrior and a great many other things his imagination comes up with....
I think you all know who I mean. ;D

Well have a good last friday in november, and you have my pity if you have to chop onions today =o)

Christmas stars........aren't they pretty?

2007-11-28T15:53:00.000-09:00

Last Christmas Jo gave Aimee and me this package of lights and different designs you can put on them so this month we decided to put the stars on. They look much prettier in person...especially around our mirror......

Just add some Christmas music playing in the background and it's perfect =o)
