Spring

Spring has come. Winter is finially over. The flowers are blooming . . .

The trees are blossoming . . .

The tree

There is this one cherry tree in our front yard that grows beautiful blooms. I actually got to pick where to plant it and got to help plant it. It has grown a lot since then. That was a long time ago. In 2008 or 2009, it grew the most blooms I had ever seen! Here are some pictures:

Now this year, it bloomed a lot again! It bloomed even more than last time! Pictures:

 

 



A long time ago

I know this was a long, long, long time ago, but here are some pictures of last Christmas day. It was so fun! Dad took all of these pictures.Well, most of them.

Me, happy that I got some Wissmann Family CD's

Us on Christmas Eve night, finishing our Count-down-to-Christmas Star Wars thing!

Kaelyn, happy that she got the "Soul Surfer" movie

Jenna, happy that she got tons of earrings

Peter, REALLY happy that he got a Smurfs hat(and a Smurf's look and find book)

Caedmon(I have no idea if he was happy) got a Reigndeer thing for his head. He looked so cute!

Friends

This is a picture from when we made our own pretend radio program, BFFJ Radio!
BFFJ stands for Best Friends For Jesus.

I am at my friend Abby's house right now for a sleepover. Her and I are really good friends. Tomorrow I am going with her to her co-op, Classical Conversations. We did not know what to do first, but then we went on www.vistaprint.com and designed our own business card. Then we ate ice cream(which we are doing now) and Abby said,"Wouldn't it be funny if we put a post on your blog right now?". And I said, "Okay, I'll do it." So, here we are!!!!

Kansas

All of my family, except Dad, went to Kansas this week. We went there for my Great-grandma's funeral. Her name  was Grace Winifred Coleman Elliott. She was my Mom's grandma. Anyway, there were tons of Family there. I haven't actually gotten my photos loaded onto the computer yet, so I'll use photos from different sources.

Caedmon Samuel

Caedmon turned 1 last Sunday, the 26th of February. He has been such a blessing to us over the past year. He is very, very cute and a handsome little brother. He is Peter's first little brother. He is Peter's best friend. We love Caedmon so much!

 

We love you Caedmon!
