History Project!

I have been teaching school to Esther, Keziah, and Lydia this year.  We just did our first history project about two weeks ago!  It was so much fun and I hope to be doing a whole lot more this year with them!  Anyway, we were studying the Decline of the Roman Empire and the girls decided that they wanted to make Roman pillars out of sugar cookie dough.  They had a lot of fun (even if their pillars didn't even slightly resemble the ones that the Romans used.  :)  )

Making Pillars

My beautiful sisters!

One of Keziah's pillars.  hehehe.

The ball of dough

Lydia, you are so precious!

Esther......  :)

I think that Esther's pillar turned out to be the most roman like.  :)

Keziah made some veggie tales character pillars out of her dough.  :)  Keziah, you are so silly.

Lydia had a hard time coming up with a suitable design.

But she finally figured it out!  :)

We have been having all sorts of fun with out schoolwork this year and hopefully there will be much more in store for us!  I love learning new things, which I am doing in teaching my sisters (like maybe patience. haha).  I didn't actually get any of pictures of the finished product but, lets suffice it to say that our pillars came out of the oven much different that when we put them in.  :)  Oh well, it was fun anyway!

Thanks for reading!

Church Camp!

So this was the first official camping trip that I have ever been on without my whole family there........It was nice, it was fun, it was somewhat strange, but altogether it was mostly awesome!!!!!!

I had so much fun!  It is such a blessing to be able to go and fellowship with out church body in such a fun way!  The four oldest went together, and it was a blast!  We didn't get to go for the whole time because there was a little something at home that had just been delivered (or should I say someone).  But we did go for a day and spent the night!!  So much fun!!  Here are some of the Pics that I took!

On the way to the beach!!!  Josiah's sunglasses are so funny!

Awwwwwwe... Poor little lamb.

Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the first day because I was having way too much fun playing volleyball and visiting with friends that I didn't even think about it.

(from Left to right: Seth, Meshach, Caitlin, Me, Jessica, Felicity, Talitha) We did  a polar bear swim at 6:00 AM.  If you've ever been in the Pacific Ocean  you know that it is fridgid... ya... but it was fun!!  This was before we made our dangerous trek into the deep cold icy ocean.  (thank you Mr. M. for getting up at that untimely hour and taking the pictures for me!)

Just goofing off.

After we had dunked ourselves and were freezing cold!

Rebecca!  She is so photogenic!  I. am. Jealous.

Good friends!

More good friends!

Mr. M.

Jacob is so cute!  you cant see it in this picture but, his shirt said " Handsome is an understatement"  I loved it!

Analise holding Ambrose.  (I absolutely love that name!!)  

Rebecca and Andra

Me and Rebecca!

Ooooooo.... Fire!  I am so grateful God gave us fire!  I don't know what we would do without it!

After we packed everything up at camp we went to a light house with the K. Family!  It was so much fun!!  Thanks for lettings us tag along!

 Afterwards we went to Tillamook Cheese Factory!  Yummy! This is Cori!  Isn't she beautiful!  yup that's my friend!

This was my Ice Cream. Yes, pure awesomeness.  

And this was me on the way home.  We were going into portland so I felt like it was a crazy lipstick kinda day.  :)

Anyway Thanks for reading I hope y'all are having a blessed week!!

Red, White, & Blue Dessert

     I call this my 4th of July Dessert, it's actual name is "Strawberry Trifle" but where's the fun in that?  I love making this for Independence day 1. Because it is extremely easy(and yummy I might add), and 2. Because it is so patriotic!  I am going to disappoint all of you who want my recipe and not tell you, because if I told you, you wouldn't have to invite me to your parties to get to taste this, and then nobody would invite me anywhere...  and that would be sad.  :(  hehehe  I was up till 3 in the morning making these so don't judge my pictures.  :)

Cool Whip....... Yum!

Straberries. Even Yummier!

Angel food Cake

More Strawberries.

Strawberries, and Angel Food Cake

The secret mixture that I'm not going to tell you the ingredients to.... hahaha

another layer

see, it has patriotic written all over it!  

My masterpiece!

I know I kinda failed on the top..... Oh well, I heard that it tasted good anyway.  :)

 

Look at the baby one!!  Isn't it cute!  I made it for my neighbor for co-piloting for me on the way to the store. What a nuisance this permit is.

It's so beautiful, I think I might cry.... 

This is the second one that I made (no not at three in the morning) I think that it turned out much prettier than the first one!

I love this pic!  <3

Yum.

I made another baby one for the hostess of the 4th of July party!

Anywho, yummie!  I need to make these more often!  Everybody (well everyone that I've talked to) says that they are super yummy!
