three days until Christmas O.o

the house is full of secrets 

older brothers teasing you about gifts

little sisters begging to show you the gift they got for you

                         

hyper little brothers eating too much candy

a mother who can't stop laughing at your begging

a father who wants to give the biggest Christmas surprise away early

                                                       
                                                 dogs who have no idea what's going on
                                        a cat who will soon be waiting on the roof for
                                  Santa if she doesn't quit waking everyone up at night.
                                                        a leetle turtle who just eats and sleeps
                                  a snake, who pretty much does the same thing as the leetle turtle

                               
                                      bedrooms doors are being slammed in peoples faces
                                         half a million random trips to Wal Mart
                                    because somebody forgots a whole bunch of stuff.

And now.. I have to go find a gift, I hid it so well, I can't find it.

July 4th {Part Two}

I decided not to post as many pictures as I planned in this post.

Enjoy and please tell me what you think of them!

Operation Jelly Donuts

Well. I don't have much to explain in this post.. Other than.. The picture's explain everything. Except the title. The title means nothing. Its just to catch your eye. (If it does.) I mean, the title would be boring if I just said "Funny Pictures". Aaron put some of Abi's socks on the other day, and Abi didn't want him to wear her's. So I told him I had some really cool one's for him to wear. He was thrilled. Then of course Elijah wanted some, so I got some more out. And how did Micah get into some? Well.. I'm not exactly sure. He just ran out into the kitchen with them on. Doodad that he is ♥

Micah was laughing at the other boys while they made faces.
And I had to die over this picture.
So. Operation Jelly Donuts is complete.

What makes me smile

Ha. I have proof!

I just need to prove to some people that my siblings (especially Chicken) are waaay cuter than some other peoples siblings... **whistles** Just a prove it post. Show off, ya know ;)

**laughs** Thats all.. Doodad ♥

My gosh. I think I'm in love ♥

Sweet little smile ♥ "You are my sunshine!" ♥
Augh. I think I'm gonna die with doodad overload.

Ooooh I love him to death! ♥

**faints** Look at those blue eyes!
All I can say is.... ♥ O.o Doodad!
So there. Its true. It really is. No matter how much you want to disagree. I have the cutest doodad's in the entire world. Period. ♥

Cookies and the Doodad.

I thought since most people's post titles today would be Happy New Year! Or 2011! I would do something different. I could have always titled it 1-1-11. All one's today. But as you can see, I didn't. I made cookies today, for my older brother Joshua's birthday. He'll be 16 on Monday! **Falls over** We're having hot wings for dinner tonight, yum! Anyway. Here are a few pictures, starting off the new year! I just had to show my readers two of the doodad. I know I've been posting a lot about him, but he's just so adorable ♥

The Cookies : "Never ending row of cookies"

Doodad : "Adorable little curls ♥"

Doodad : "Cottage Cheese!"

There you go. And thats all I can think of. Have a great new year!

God bless!

Under a Christmas tree, is the very best place to be!

Music, Boots and Christmas.

I would say the title says it all, but it really doesn't... And besides, you're probably wondering what I meant in the title. I'll start with Family. Even though it is not on the "list". Micah is handing me receipts from my mom's purse, he like's giving things away, but then he wants them back. Anyway... (*cough* he's so cute) Mom, Dad, Joshua and I all spent most of the afternoon playing cards. My grandparents from Michigan taught us a new game called golf. It has nine rounds, so it get's pretty long sometimes. Joshua was being very, errr.. Sarcastic, maybe? But he was making us all laugh. Then Mom and Dad taught Joshua and I a new game, but I forgot what it was called. Its lots of fun though, little confusing. Heh. But thats what we did this afternoon. We had Christmas music playing and a fire crackling in the background. (But I'm warm now).

Now for the Boots part..... I really don't have to blog about this, but decided I would. I got boots yesterday, but I think most of my reader knew that. I like boots.

On my graphics page I put up some new graphics, seasonal, (I'm not done putting up seasonal one's) They'll mostly be the same size. Sooner or later I'll have "pages" of the different sizes, but that is taking a little while to figure out. Usually I can't just sit down at the computer and design, I wish I could, but I can't. Usually when I sit down someone needs me, or the most adorable little face comes and looks at me with a pitiful looks, and he holds out tiny chubby little hands. Oh yeah, I'd much rather have him, then have all the time in the world to design blog stuff. Doodad.

Ah yes. Christmas. I have almost all my Christmas shopping done. Almost all of it. I just need one/two more things, for my mom. Shhhh. In my family, since there is seven of us kids, we draw names, instead of getting gifts for EVERYONE in my family. Though I do usually get something for my mom and dad. This year I got Abi, again. (I got her last year, and the year before). We were going to keep the names we drew a secret, but somehow they always leaked out. So this year we just decided to tell, and not keep a secret. Its easier that way!

Some of my lovely friends gave me some new book suggestions, I've been enjoying some of their suggestion's. Lets see.. There was "Redwall" by Brian Jacques (There is like 22 books in that entire series!) but I'm liking "Castaway's of the Flying Dutchman" better. (By Brian Jacques also) I like reading new books, but its always fun rereading the one's I own and have read before. One book I love reading over and over is "The Princess Bride" by S. Morgenstern a classic tale of "True Love" and high adventure. *Dizzy* I absolutely love that book. The movie isn't all that bad either, but I enjoy the book so much more. Sheesh. Its making me want to read it again, I'll have to reserve it from the library. I would very much recommend it.

This has been a very long random post. Oh, to add another random thing.. Remember the cat Mittens I blogged about? Well she's doing much better. She's eating a lot, and drinking a lot of water, she is now hydrated! (Hurrah!) She's gained half a pound in two days! She laid in the sun all day today, Rachel has been constantly warming a heating pad thingy, and laying the cat on it. The cat adore's it. Rachel is definitely going to be the cats favourite. But Rachel loves cats like crazy, so its not a surprise that she's been toting the cat around and laying in the sun with it. Hehe.

Well. Thats about it. Hopefully you can bear my long rambling post's. "Tis the season for being busy" or "Tis the season for making tons of Candy" December 16th is National chocolate day/candy making day (For my family!) I must be off to a Christmas party now..

Frohe Weihnachten!

A much needed long post.

**runs in from writing** Wew. I just made 35,000. Yeah I'm right where I should be. But I wanted to be farther! I wanted to be at 45,000. **sighs** Oh well. I didn't get to write on the 19th, so that put me behind. **Frowns** But I've caught up, just not as much as I wanted to. Ooh. Now that I sit down to write a much needed long post, I simply can not think of anything to say. Lets see.. Thanksgiving is four days away. My grandparents from Michigan are coming and staying a few days. We get to see them twice a year. Thanksgiving and Easter. What are you doing for Thanksgiving? I'll be writing. As usual. **can't wait until November is over** I made Baklava yesterday. No reason, other than because everyone wanted it. It was yummy, as usual. We haven't eaten NEAR all of it though. When I make it, I make a great big pan of it. **nods** Goodness. I can't think of anything to post. Hm. Oh yes. I'm holding off the photography contest for a little while, just until I get a few more people to enter. So maybe the week after Thanksgiving I will pick the finalists :) I have four MAYBE five people entered. All lovely pictures, but I would like a few more people to enter! This is random and weird. But I have a weird habit of rocking my neck back and forth while writing. I do it quiet often, like right now, I just started to rock my neck. Huh. Oh well. Did I ever post on here that Micah started walking? Well, if I didn't.. Micah's started walking! He's so cute how he toddles around. Though he sure gets into things. I can hardly keep up with him. Like today for instance. I was holding Micah this afternoon, but he wanted down. So I set him down next to dad and went into my room to write. I turned the laptop on, and turned because I heard a noise. Micah was standing right next to my shoulder! HOW he gets around so fast, for walking so slow, I have NO idea. So I took him back out into the living room, and set him on the couch. ( He knows how to get off and on the couch, which is totally adorable). I went back in my room, then decided I needed a drink. I went out into the kitchen, and he was under the table! His little legs must be super fast. Its surprising how a little guy like him can get around SO fast. Anyway. He's so cute. And he's mine. All mine! This isn't near as long as I wanted it to be, but it will have to do. We put the outside Christmas lights out today. ( We being Dad and Joshua, I was the supervisor). Usually we do it after Thanksgiving, but its going to be very cold Thanksgiving weekend. ( The coldest Thanksgiving Oklahoma has had in 15 years O.o)

So Joshua and Dad put them up today. They look loverly. I like them up early anyway. And I think thats it. I designed a LEGO house today. The house has 10 bookshelves. **nods** I love my books. Even if they are just LEGO books. Yep. Thats it.

Oh, another thing. I'm thinking about changing my blog around. ( Don't worry, not the template or anything! I like my template TOO much!)

But thats about it for now. I'm going to head off to bed soon. Guten Nacht!

Blessings in Christ,

Once upon a time..

There was a king. This King's name was King Toot Doot.

King Toot Doot was a wonderful King, always happy.

He loved his people dearly, and loved to walk in the courtyard.

He smiled and laughed, and threw flowers to villagers.

He had enormous blue eyes and loved wearing footy pajama's.

Especially wintry footy pajama's.

He sat on his throne and waved to his people, smiling, happy as ever.

He bowed and he laughed, he sang and he played.

He would laugh out loud, at all the jokes the villagers told

He would tell jokes himself, laughing along the way.

He was surprised at things, yet loved happy things.

He loved to eat cookies, smiling as always.

And yes, he was happy as always,

And as he said goodbye, to you dear reader,

He gave a farewell smile.

Its high time..

Its high time I do a proper blog post! I've been horrible and put aside this little neglected blog, to write. Write, and write. Did I say write? Speaking of writing. NaNoWriMo is going great! Its so much fun, and definitely keeps me on my toes! I got to 16,000 today. But that's still not as far as I should be. Hopefully I can get to 20,000 tomorrow! Maybe. Just MAYBE! Hm. For music while writing, I suggest Michael W. Smith's album titled Freedom. It is SO inspiring! Its awesome! ~

For my birthday I got a lovely present from Miss Emma. She gave me a lovely journal, note cards, a sticky pad thingy, and stickers! Oh yes, two very inky pens! **diez** I really love inky pens. For some reason, I love ink. Inky pens are wonderful. Really great. I could ramble forever on inky pens. I really could. If you don't believe me, I could make a large post on inky pens. Would you like that?~

On a totally random note. The little doodad has been named, a new name? Its very long, and it would take me an hour to write it all up on here, I would rather spend the hour writing my novel, and could get 1,000 words in. But anyway. Toddler Hendley Pecon Leprechaun. Poor kiddo, to many nicknames. Course he answer's to everything. You can say "Pancake!" and he'll look at you and smile. So cute! Orr, you could say, "Piano!" and he'd look at you! Smiling as always! He's very happy, and he just started walking. ( Hence the reason of the name Toddler) He toddles all over the house, its just a little waddle like walk, but its so cute. So very cute. **loves babies**~

**Whistles** You know, here in Oklahoma the tree's are just now changing. I haven't been able to get some really good pictures of fallish stuff. And the grass is still, well, its getting dry. The leaves are all darkish red, not orange. The orange is my favourite colour. ~

Sorry this is just a random post. I can't think of anything else really. Oh, my sister, Rachel, is turning 11 on the 18th of November, and Miss Emma is having a birthday soon also! There will be "virtual" parties for both of them :) I'm making baklava for a "cake" for Rachel and I. We both enjoy making baklava, and I guess I should say eating it also. Hehe.

Well thats all for now. Gute Nacht! I'll try and post another post sooner or later on here. Poor little blog!

In Christ,

To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is and of what is not that it is not is true

PLEASE don't bother reading the title, I couldn't understand it myself. ^^ Sorry about not posting more lately! The one big post below made me blogged out, if you get what that means..... Anyyyywaayyy. I have a few things I need to blog about. Like... The Fall Festival at Walk in thy truth!

Doesn't that look like fun? I've entered in all her giveaway's and contest's!!!!~ Alright. Whats next. Now that I sit down to think of a blog post, I cannot think of anything to tell you! Other than.... We rearranged the living room. Sorta rearranged my bedroom. I made French Bread and Granola. I'm going to make some Mini M&M cookies tonight! ( Well, just the dough, I'm making the cookies tomorrow ^^)

Oh! Also Miss Emma is having a little guessing game at her photography blog! Right now I can't think of what it is! **is confused** Hmmm. If you have any suggestions for what it is, leave a comment on her photography blog!

The tree's here haven't changed much! Hopefully they will be changing soon! I really haven't gotten any good pictures of some colorful trees/leaves because they haven't changed yet! I love fall! ~ I got some new sheet music recently! I'm hoping I will have it all learned for the recital! But I'm pretty sure I will :) And for Christmas I am playing Carol of the Bells! ~

Anyway. Just a really small random post full of rambling. Gosh. Ohhh! Below are the photo's I am entering for the Fall Festival and also one random picture! Enjoy!

** The Random picture of the Sun through the trees**

Picture #1 I am entering for the Fall Festival!

God Bless you!
