A Birthday!

My sister Abbie has a birthday today! Here are some pictures: (sorry there's so many!)


Her cake in the making:


One on top of the other...


I decided not to frost the sides


Abbie with her cake


Right now they are watching The Return of the King, and after that, we're going to Burger King (Abbie's favorite place to eat). Then she'll open her presents :D

I started a fire......

I did something REALLY dumb the other day - namely starting a fire in the kitchen, by lighting the burner under a rack holding a greasy paper towel. (We had been frying taco shells earlier). Talk about flammable! I put my pot of organic mac and cheese on the back burner, turned on the front one, and walked out of the kitchen. Then I looked up, and the rack was blazing merrily. I freaked out, but fortunatly my mom was there, and she threw the rack in the sink, and poured water on it. Phew! That was a scare! Here's some pictures from afterwards:




Also, here's some pictures of Levi, five weeks old!



SOOOOOOOO cute!

Giving While Receiving

Give food to the hungry while improving your vocabulary. What could be better than that?





This is what Emma posted earlier, but I thought it would be cool to have a link to it. I stole the pic from my mom's blog.

My apron

An apron I made in sewing class.

Sorry I haven't been writing. For some reason Blogger wouldn't let me sign in!

*Edit from Emma* I gave your post a title, because when it doesn't have one, pretty much the whole post shows up as the title in the list of posts, which looks wierd.

Church Picnic!!!!

We had a great church picnic today, at an REALLY pretty state park. Fried chicken (welcome after years of barbecue!), games, hiking trails, and so on, made it enjoyable, but tiring. Sorry you couldn't make it, Christine! However, you can see some pictures from it. ;D

My Latin teacher wins the sack race. (Girl's race, and eliminations!)


We won the water balloon toss, twice in a row!

Cool cups!

We went to this REALLY neat place for Christine's birthday, and we just now got the results. You're allowed to paint a wide variety of ceramic objects (we chose cups), and they fire and glaze it for you, and you can pick it up in a few days! Here's some pictures. Cups with their respective owners.



We look SO proud, don't we ;D



My cup^ (It's not really lopsided like that)



Christine's cup^ (her's isn't lopsided either)
