Lan party tonight for Crossroads Sanctuary Youth Group

Headed over to the Lan Party tonight, should be fun… I’m testing out this email thing to see if I can stick pics in the blog from email.

 

 

 

How does this work?

I am just figuring out how to do this right now, so bear with me… can I put just text here, or anything? If I can do anything, that would be awesome, because I can then post a lot easier.

More Camp!

Here is johnny learning to be a crack shot with the Daisy Red Rider BB gun. Does it really get any better than that for a 10 year old?

As the weeks went on, he got pretty good at it and even bagged a Chipmunk! He was stoked.

CAMP!!!!

Oh, here we go. We went to michigan, the UP this summer for almost 3 weeks. It was perhaps the coolest thing we've ever done as a family. I loved it, and it was very relaxing. I still feel calm when i see it. Here is the View from the front porch.

Diesel!!!!

Hello ! Introducing the newest member of our family.


This is Diesel. He's Half Great Dane, and Half Australian Shepherd.

He's very calm, loving and pretty much all paws.

He loves His big Brother, Bongo, and loves the squeaky balls. He also like boss's fun computer stuff that he can drag out into the back yard, and Xbox Controllers are fun to eat!

But we love him anyway!

More Pics from Johnny's 10th

Hey all, here are some pics from Johnny's 10th Birthday party. He had a bunch of his friends over and they all had a blast on the trampoline, and playing xbox till they puked. He got a ton of bionicles, and it just so happend that three of his friends got him three parts to his "big creation" so that worked out great for him!

Spring Break Pics!

Hey there this is a test for spring break.

Sarah loves to write stories "just because". This is her latest story.

"Diddle" by Sarah C.

Once apon a time, actully, once apon a Duck! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! First before I tell you this story, grab a cup of cocoa and get your self comfterball and warm. If your a slow reader you may be here for a while because this story is well, mabe 3 or 2 pages long! Ok now, take a big sigh and well, you know, have a big sip of cocoa.

Now, once apon a time, there was a duck and it's name was Diddle. One day Diddle went to my house. And I found him in the cellar, you might call it the basement. Wait! This is about Diddle not me! I can see that your not enjoying my jokes so I'll stop the funny busness! Well Diddle went to my house and I found him in the cell and I called him Diddle. When my family found out, they all thought that Diddle was a cute name. Johnny thought that Diddle was a dumb name. I thought it was cute though.

Well that dosn't matter because the story is on Diddle. When Diddle found out he knew me, he was happy! I knew Diddle to because Diddle used to be called Thumper and lived across the street ferom me.

Wait! I think I hear my mom calling me! Well, by! See you later and French swore! But really quick I'll tell you the ending! Diddle lived with me for the rest of my life and my brother called him DumboJets. I hated that name! and believe me, he called me that name! Diddle turned out to be a girl and had ducklings! Well, by! See you later!

THE END!
Sarah

Oops! I stayed to long! My mother is calling me! By!

Rockin' 80's Becky and Miss Sarah in her TOGA! TOGA! TOGA! (She tries to wear her toga to any special costume event!)

Tim - The greasy 70's "Chick Magnet" at Cosmic Bowling

Austin - wearing his "swinging" PJ/leasure outfit to Cosmic Bowling.

Half way through the night Vinni was getting hot because his bowling game was on fire! Or maybe he removed his jacket because he wanted to show off that *amazing* shirt... (I use that word lightly!)

Look at those two HOTTIES! Last night we went Cosmic Bowling with the High School Youth Group. AWESOME turnout! I think we ended up with around 140 people. There weren't many leaders, but there were a bunch of new faces that I didn't recognize - which means the students brought friends! YES!

We had a "Decades" costume contest (no - I don't normally wear that much green eye-shadow!). After a dirty, dusty, smelly digging through Goodwill's bargain bins, Shawn found the king of all suits - light blue plaid and a pretty swinging bronze colored lame shirt. His *bling*bling* glasses and slicked back hair finished his Mobster outfit off. I told him to tell everyone his name was Vinni Crullini! I was lucky (is that the right word?!?) to find this heinous teal dress - Gag me with a spoon!

We spent about 45 minutes getting my hair up into a mohawk and ALMOST made it! The back wouldn't stay, so I had to throw my head under the sink and wash all the glue out. Thanks to my true 80's roots I quickly styled my awesomely bodacious big hair. (Complete with the Great Wall of China for bangs!)

Johnny dressed up as... HIMSELF! He's not into costumes, but he did enjoy bowling once he realized that we were not going to Bumper Bowl no matter how much he asked! He had a good time hanging with Vinni Crullini.

Sarah dressed herself and called it the "old fashioned" decade. She had on a print dress, pink knit sweater cardigan, her hair pulled back with a headband, high heel shoes and a cute pink clutch for her purse. She looked beautiful and ready to head to the Opera or the Symphony. Shawn (err... I mean Vinni) noted that our 8 1/2 year old walks better in heals that most high school girls! LOL! I'll see if I can get a photo of her on here...
