Yesterday, Dad also gave me a .22 pistol! It had been previously Ben’s, and he was selling it, and while the Saurez’s were here, the Saurez boys all wanted to buy it! But, Dad bought it for me! I love, love, love it! It is extremely accurate, good looking, at overall awesome. LOL So, everybody around had better watch out for a pistol packing

pardon me about the capitalization, but my shift key isn’t working! at least, the shift key that i use for capitalizing. lol

Saturday we had a concert at Grandpa’s church.

Sunday we played one song during morning service at Grandpa’s church, then went to West Moreland Union Manor and played there. Sunday was also Paul’s (an uncle of ours) birthday

Monday we went to Dinner with Uncle David and Aunt Fran and some friends.

Tuesday we went to dinner with a Chinese gentleman we met at the Manor.

Wednesday was Papa’s birthday.  We spent the greater part of the day at his house.

Thursday we hung out at Grandpa’s house.

Friday half of us went to the Guitar Center, half of us went to Goodwill.

Saturday we visited the family of one of Dad’s former Russian employees, and had a scrumptious dinner!

Sunday we went and played at Uncle Steve’s church. Sunday night we went back to Grammoo’s and Papa’s house to pack up the trailer with food.

Monday, after finishing packing the trailer (about 2:00 am!) we left on our way back home! We arrived home about 7:00. Boy, is it good to be home!

.

Sometime, I don’t know when, I think Anne will post a detailed post.

In the Science and Reading, they had some Global Warming-ism and Evolution-ism respectively. It was boring and stupid. LOL It’s like, they are trying to indoctrinate me, even through tests!

.

Didja know that ‘respectively’ is a favorite word of the ACT Gurus?

.

Have a good day! I hope I get a good score on the ACT.. won’t get the answers for 3-7 weeks!

Out of this picture, I cut the garbage can out, because I accidentally got it in!

Yesterday we went and got our hunting tags, and it was Jayden’s birthday. We had his birthday dinner Monday night. We were going to have his party (this is Jay’s first party) Sunday, but Rase ended up with strange spots, that we weren’t sure about, so we canceled it, and will have it another day! He is really looking forward to it.

.

May 17-18 was the Homeschool Convention. Us kids were runners. Kate and I went in a pair everywhere, and sometimes we just walked around, sometimes I would take pictures, and sometimes I would actually be doing something productive! Both days Kate and I handed out water to the vendors. We had fun! Eric earned some money from taking pictures of a workshop!

.

Today we had to go get my picture with a sworn statement that ‘this is my picture’ and Mom’s signature notarized, so I could have adequate identification to go take the ACT.  Mom and I were wondering why we just couldn’t use my hunting license for identification, since you have all your information that you would have on a drivers license, etcetera. Joe and I are both working in Math-U-See Geometry. Geometry is easier than I expected, and certainly better than any other mathematics! We both will be taking the ACT in June.

.

It is hard to think that we will be going to OR in less than a month! Time flies so quickly! Grandpa and Grammoo have been discussing where and what we are going to eat! We are going to stay at Grandpa’s house, but Grammoo wants to cook for us (Grandpa is Mom’s Dad and Grammoo is Dad’s Mom)!

.

I have been working on HSB templates. I have one finished, that Emily is using, and I am working on one for Tess, that is the same style as Em’s, and I am working on another one, that I can’t seem to get right!

.

We all have been having colds, except a select few. How miserable! I wish we could be Les Miserables! LOL Poor Elle has it, too. She hates her nose being wiped.

My outfit!

I temporarily  forgot my username, today. Stupid me! But, I finally remembered it.

.

Anne and I have been busy sewing peasant style skirts. I kept putting the bottom layer on inside-out! I almost went insane, but finally, I stopped putting them inside-out. All our skirts are done. One for each girl. Now we gotta work on vests. I hope we can get ‘em done this week.

.

Yesterday was the Home School Talent Show. Us girls sang. Joe, Em, and Kate had a table. Joe had is laptop and his flat screen monitor, and displayed pictures. Em displayed paintings, and Kate displayed a drawing.

.

In school, I just have one math book left. Consumers Mathematics.  I believe our whole family has a case of dyscalculia. Con. Math. is pretty easy, so the main thing I have to do to graduate is pound geometry into my head. Though, when it comes to pounding geometry into my head, my head seems as hard as rock!

.

Early April we went to OR, because Grandpa wasn’t doing well. Now, he is doing much better. I think it was Saturday he was discharged, and they put him into a comblessant (sp?) home to recover fully, before going home. But, the people there weren’t doing things right, and he is back in the hospital.

.

This week, for our bible reading, we are starting on Psalms. We are going to do chapters 1-75.

.

Um.. well, I can’t think of anything more to add.

Revelations 14:6-7  Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth–to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people– saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”
