Dance the Night Away with.... The Shopping Cart, Oh Ya.

For those of you who are wondering.....  

No we did not do the shopping cart all night long...  

Actually we didn't even do it half the night.  And for those of you who are wondering just what, exactly the shopping cart is.  It is simply walking while acting like you are pushing a shopping cart, while you pretend to take things from a shelf and put them in the imaginary basket that you are supposedly.  Pushing.  It sounds ridiculous...  I know.  But fun nonetheless.

 It was kinda just what my friend Rebecca and I did when we weren't asked to dance.  Just so that we could look like dorks.  Because that is one of the things we do best.

No actually, we did a whole bunch of line dances, and some waltzes and swing dancing.  And we did the sprinkler too but that is a different story.  Well it is kind of the same story, (oh no here I go again.)  

I am very skatter-brained lately.  Actually come to think of it...  I am always skatter brained.  Which is probably why I start doing this in like every post ever thought of on my blog. 

And will I ever get on with the goings on of the evening besides the fact that we (we as in, my siblings, me and Rebecca, who might as well be a sibling.)  did the shopping cart and the sprinkler? Oh, we played musical chairs too....  Just thought I would throw that in there for (as my southern friends would say, who I might add...  I need to write a letter to.) y'all.  

Ok, just one more thought on that.  I love saying "y'all" but every time I say it here in the Northwest people don't seem to quite appreciate it.  I'm not sure why, but whenever I say it I get weird looks and giggles...  Which is probably most of the reason that I say it.  I am a very contrary person.  My brother likes to say that I have a disagreeable personality.  I haven't quite decided if that is a good or a bad thing yet. 

 I will let you know my further thought on that later...  Maybe.  That is a BIG maybe, though.

Just try to bear in mind please that I never claimed to be a photographer soooooo....  Ya.

Seth kinda looks sick in this picture.  But ya know it's a good sick.  Like "that truck is sick man!" ....... Ok well, maybe not, but it was worth a try anyway, right?
(that was supposed to be said with a surfer boy/skater/punk dude accent by the way.  Just letting you in on some little formalities.  We must get these things right you know.) 

Rebecca.

I can tell Seth is just thinking "oh ya, I look cool."  Now I will leave it up to you to decide wether that is true or not.  :)

Very blurry picture of people swing dancing or talking about  trying, (keyword here being trying) to swing dance.  It didn't work out so well when I tried it with Rebecca.  It was pretty hysterical.  There was much laughing on my part...  Come to think of it there was on her part too.  

In the words of...  Well, actually mysel...  heh.  
"Best friends are, well.  The best."

Rebecca has an escort.  

I LOVE this picture.
 It is so funny.  Rebecca is supposed to be doing her hair.  (it kinda looks like...  actually I don't know what it looks like she is actually doing.)  Meshach is just bein' a dork and Seth is *wink* *wink*  fixing his tie.  

More dancing.

(left to right: Katy, Elisa, Forest.)
They didn't want me to take a picture.  Hence, the reason Forest is hiding behind his sister. 

(left to right: Timothy, Noah, Thaddeus.)
We met lots of new awesome people there and I went around taking random pictures of people that I met there.  It was awesome.  :)  And just FYI I love the name Thaddeus.
It. is. cool.

I feel really bad but I forgot the name of the first girl in this picture.  I'm sure it will come back to me one of these moments.  Anyway, the other two are Irene and Maddie.  I <3 these girls.  They were so much fun to talk to and laugh at ridiculous things with.
(agg.  Glare.  The camera was giving me some problems that night but I still wanted to post this picture)

more dancing.

The three amigos.  

And the last picture of the night was of Wesley.  This guy is really funny. and was the MC of the dance.  Thanks for MC'ing!  It was awesome and you did a great job!  

Well, that is all of our dance craziness. Thank you all *ahem* I mean y'all, (so there) for putting up with more of my ramblings.  I simply had to get it out of my system somehow and I couldn't ask for a better listener I think.

Oh my goodness.

 Off I go again.

 I better end this before it gets too late to be today anymore and magically turns into tomorrow.  Well maybe not magically but I just like saying that.  I know....  I'm a nut.

I've been told...

 Many times.

Love,
Han

LOLZ.

They posted this on a friends facebook page for their birthday.

Because my bros are awesome like dat.  

Love,

Han

P.S.  I can't believe I just did that as my title....  Oh well, as some one very special to me once said, "If that offends than, God will give you the grace to get over it." :P

Muffin Madness.

Last saturday my mom and dad took a trip down to....Corvallis?  I think it was Corvallis anyway.  Well that's beside the point, the point is that they went somewhere and did something and left us poor children at home.  :'(  So, my parents went somewhere and I had to make muffins for church the next morning.  They were really yummy so I thought that I would share some of the pictures of me making them, and the recipe just because they were super yummy, righteous mama muffins.  :)


Nutmeg Streusel Muffins:
Streusel Mixture:
11/3 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 c. butter or margarine, softened

Muffins:
2/3 c. all-purpose flour
11/2 tsp. baking powder
11/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 c. buttermilk
1 egg

Directions:
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. In large bowl combine 11/3 c. flour and brown sugar; cut in butter until crumbly.  Reserve 1/2 c. for streusel topping.  In same bowl add all muffin ingredients to streusel mixture. Stir just until moistened.  Spoon into greased 12 c, muffin pan.  Sprinkle with reserved streusel mixture.  Bake for 18 to 22 min. or until lightly browned.  Let stand 5 min.; remove from pan and enjoy!  :)

Pre-oven look.

Sadly my first batch came out looking quite deflated...  Sadness.  But they still tasted yummy!

Seth and I were joking around while we were waiting for the other batch to cook.

He was laughing at all my stupid jokes.  I like it when people do that, unfortunately I'm not very funny so it doesn't happen that often.  haha.  :)

Does anyone else think that this picture looks creepy?

The deflated ones.

Fortunately all the batches after my first one looked PER-fect.  I was so happy!  :)

Hope you guys are having a great day!  God Bless!

Painting, Painting, Painting.

So a few weeks a ago we painted our former school room so that we could move dads office over here.  It was four straight days of nothing but painting.....(thats actually whats wrong with me people.  The suspicion has been confirmed, yes I am crazy.) Needless to say I was a complete mess.  But, despite the hot weather, cheesy love songs, the smell of fresh paint wafting through the air, threatening to make me go completely insane at any moment, it went well, and doesn't look all that bad I might add.

You all might be wondering why I took this picture, the next one explains...

Yes, I trapped her in the middle of a painted floor.  Haha

There she is waiting for the paint to dry so that she can get out.

New paint, old paint.

Oops, I spilled it....

Wow, ok Seth.

First coat..... Check.

Hey look its spray on tan!  

We still had one more day of this sticky gooey mess to deal with but it turned out alright and we learned that its probably not a good idea to wear shoes while painting....  Well, while painting with me at least.
