Pictures Long Over Due

Hello! I have some pictures that might be a little over due. I actually have no idea when I took them but I know it was a long time ago because, well, I don't even remember when I took them. Here they are!

Here is me, Hannah, Lydia, and my sis, Grace. We're all friends.

Here's us trying to look smart . . . I don't really think is worked.

Quick Update

I'm sorry I havn't blogged in a while. It's been crazy busy around here. I still can't believe I have a new baby brother! He is so cute! He's also been keeping us busy. I'm not kidding when I say this but he is usually being held. He is rarely set down in his bouncy seat and swing. That's probably because he has six older sisters. Sorry to keep this post short. Got to go. Happy Saturday!

New Brother!

Here's a picture of my new baby brother!

Toad!

Yesterday, we moved a whole bunch of old boards off the cement in our back yard, and underneith it there were like five toads. We only decided to bug one of them though. Poor guy. Here are some pictures:

Here's the toad. Do you see hime? Can't you just imagine him saying "AAAAAHHHHH I'm trying to get away from these mad humans but there's a pair of size 11 shoes in my way!"

OOOOHHHHH! Isn't he just da cutest wittle thing you've ever seen? I think I'll call him Fred!

Happy Fathers Day!

Good morning! Happy Fathers Day to all you fathers out there! Did you have a good week? Mine was the usual. You know, working on the yard (because my dads home!), riding bike, blogging, writing, ultimate frisbee, and so on. I am excited because by the end of the week, hopefully we'll have a new member of the family! I will get a picture of the baby when he's born and post it on this blog!

Sorry I didn't get a new story posted on my other blog like I said. I got half of it done! I didn't get the time to finish it, though. That blog won't have as many posts as this one because I won't have as much time to just sit down and write a story, if you know what I mean. I understand if you don't read the whole story, they can get kind of long. I try to do my best to keep them a good length.

Have a good Sunday!

Flowers

Hello! Sorry I didn't get time to blog yesterday. I was busy with planning what my next story is going to be about. I will right it tomorrow. Sorry, can't right it today, it will take to long and I'm to busy . . . again. We are going to ultimate frisbee . . . again. My dad's coming home from work today and We're all super excited! He works at the rig for two weeks and then comes home for two weeks. Yesterday we were also busy planting flowers. My dad doesn't know we planted them, so it's all a surprise. Here are some pictures of the flowers:

I'll try to get an up close picture of a really pretty one later, but for now, I'll have to go. See ya!

Another Blog!

I have started another blog! It is made specially for only stories. I will still be posting on this blog often. I'll probably post on this blog more often than my new one.

I guess if I'm going to tell you I started another bog, I should probably also give it to you. It is called "Just Thoughtful Stories" You can find it at this website: Justthoughfulstories.blogspot.com. I hope you'll enjoy it!

challenge

Our challenge for the week is going to be big. It's going to be grand. It's going to be apsolutly super! And the challenge is . . . drum roll please, da da da da da da . . . Hold your breathe for ten seconds! Just kidding. Now, for the real challenge . . . Try to understand when I say . . . I'm not doing monday challenges any more. sorry. I don't really like doing it because I can't ever think of any. I'm not going to do " do's and don'ts" any more either. I don't like having to do stuff certain days. I might do them once in a while, but not on certain days. Oh well, it was worth a try. don't worry, I'll keep up with my blog!

Bible verse

Happy Sunday! Here's a bible verse from Psalms 128:1

                                       Blessed is he who fears the lord,
                                       Who walks in his ways!

Short, but good. Have a wonderful day!

50th Post!

This is my 50th post here on Just Thoughtful. I, personally, am excited. You? Well, I don't really have anything else to say so . . . I'm going to post the thing that I was going to post before I realized that this was going to be my 50th post.

We went to ultimate frisbee yesterday, and it was pouring rain. The grass we soaked and we were slipping and sliding every where! It was fun . . . And cold. We were all drenched. The frisbee was really hard to catch and throw because it was so slippery. It was a great time.

Alright, sorry about the short length of this blog. Have a wonderful day!

Picture Today Becaue I Forgot Yesterday

I was not on top of thins yesterday, I admit. It was a busy day. I woke up and Remembered that we were having company. I decided I would post a blog before they came. So in the rush that I was in, I forgot that I was suppose to put a picture up instead of just some random thing. So, I'll just post a picture today because I forgo yesterday, so . . .

 this is my cousin, Bristol. I was baby-sitting her and her little brother, Tucker, Monday night.

Heresa funny story. First, you see the pick up? there is a guy in that pickup. then, do you see the guy next to the pick up? Well, that is my dad, putting in a new mail box. And remember the guy in the pickup? That is the guy that ran over our mail box. the guy in the pick up did get out and help my dad put in the new mail box.

I'd just like to add that I'm sorry about the tiny writing, I couldn't get it bigger. I'm not all that good with computers.

How Many Questions a Day?

The average 4 year old asks 400 questions a day. Have you ever heard that? I think thats crazy. I wonder how many of there questions actually get answered. I mean, I don't ever recall answereing 400 questions a day. Well I guess the 4 year olds wouldn't ask just one person, they'd be asking every body.

Think about all the questions you ask a day: When's lunch? Can I have candy? Are you hungry? when can I go shopping for stuff that I really need/want? were am I? What's your name? What's my name? and so on. You get my point? We ask questions so that we can: know stuff, learn stuff, feel like you know more than you did before you asked the question, and sometimes we just ask them because we're bored, or hungry.

Questions asked to know more stuff: When can I have a friend come over? Where is my hair brush? When can I leave?

Questions asked to learn stuff: Who was the first president? What is a chemical? What is a hair brush?

Questions asked when your bored: (Most of these are questions you already know.) What's my name? where do I live? How old am I?

Questions you ask when your hungry: Whats for lunch? What can I have for a snack? Do you have any chicken in this fridge?

There you have it. How many questions do YOU ask a day?

Peanut Butter Cookies!

Alright, so I am blogging another blog after only ten minutes . . . Is that weird? Well, you probably won't mind because I'm going to give you the most easiest recipe EVER. They are peanut butter cookies and get this, It only has three ingredients in it. Wow, right. So here it is:

Ingredients ~
                      1 cup peanut butter, of course
                      1 cup sugar
                      And one egg

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients together. Don't worry about the texture, it is a little bit odd. After mixed, form dough into 1 inch balls and put on a pan. Make the criss cross on the balls of dough with a fork. Put in the oven for 8-10 minutes.

Yeah, it's pretty awesome isn't it. I love making them because there so easy. They won't make that many cookies so double the batch if you want alot. But most of all, enjoy!

Do's and don'ts

Alright, so it is Tuesday! here are some of the things that I have done in the past week or so and will tell you wether you should do it or not. This should be interesting:

DO baby sit your adorable cousins

DON'T stub your toe on the dresser almost every morning when getting out of bed.

DO make peanut butter cookies that really taste awesome!

DON'T jam your side into the counter . . . yeah, that left a bruise.

DO make taco's but switch out the taco shells for tortilla chips . . . Mmmh Mmmh.

Well, that's all I have for you. I'll probably put up another post today. Until then!

challenge

Alright, it is Monday. I personally don't really like Monday. Well, that is if it's during the school year. But right now, it's summer! I actually like Monday during the becuase then you think "huh, it's Monday, and I don't have school!" It's awesome.

Alright, so I guess I'm suppose to challenge you guys with something. Don't worry, I'll do it too. And if you don't want to do it, thats fine.

So here it is: I challenge you to try something you have never done before. It could be ANYTHING! Do what I did when I was about ten, I tried a peanut butter and pickle sandwich. Yeah, my mom finally talked me into it. You could try riding your bike down a really steep hill. I wouldn't reckomend doing that but you know, do whatever you want to. do something that you would never ever even think about doing. Go ahead. just try it.

Tell me what you did in a comment if you'd like, I'd love to now!

Bible verse

Good morning! And it is a beautiful one, too. The sun is shining and the wind is slightly blowing. Ahhh, summer. Today is Sunday so I get to share a bible verse with you guys.

The bible verse comes from Matthew 6:24

                                    [Jesus said] No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one
                                    and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise
                                   the other. You cannot serve God and Money.

So there you have it. Have a wonderful Sunday!



Ps. I'd like to give a special shout out to my cousin, Bristol who is now three today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I'm am so back!

Alright, I admit to it, I lied. I will not be starting my blog again when school starts, I'm starting my blog again right now!

Why? All because of one of my obsession. It is two words . . .  Ally Carter. Yes, my obsession is a person . . . and her books. Who is Ally Carter? Ally Carter is just the most AMAZING writter ever! She is the one that got me to LOVE writing in the first place. We sort of have the same way of writing. I have no way of explaining it to you so I guess I'll just say that Ally Carter is awesome.

So, I've had a few idea's for my blog. I'm going to do different weekly things. Sunday I'm going to write a bible verse because, well, it's Sunday.

 Monday I'm going to do a weekly challenge. I will be challenging you to different things. You do not have to do them, I will not force you to. (Or will I? just kidding).

Tuesday I'm going to do a picture. It could be anything! Hopefully I won't end up having to do nails again. I havn't painted them in weeks anyway.

I think Wenesday will be suggestion day. I will be suggesting you not to do (or to do) some of the things that I had done in the past few days. Oh, you'll get a kick out of this!

Thursday, I have noooo idea what so ever of what I should do. If any suggestions, leave a comment. Until I come up with some thing, it will just be random.

Friday and Saterday will just be random stuff because I might not get a chance to blog on those days.

Well, hopefully now that I have something to blog about every day I will be on here more often. Don't worry, I might end up putting two blogs up a day because I might just have a thought.
