The End...and The Beginning

Wow...I have been off for so long!!! It feels kinda good to be back...but I have to admit that I am rather scared of all the rotten stuff I'm gonna get thrown at me for not posting in so long!! Oh well, now let me see, where do I start...
Let me start with the new system I came up with. It goes like this:

Dad=Dad
Mom=Mom
Me=Me
2#=Boy
3#=Blondie
4#Princess Pea
5#Stinker
6#Babe
Got it? If you ever get stuck, just refer back here.

Now let's go back to where my last post left off. First of all, let me just say that when you say you are going to survive on just what you need, and your parents just say, "Ok, whatever, good for you." it does not mean that they fully comprehend and understand. So when two months later they ask, "Why aren't you wearing any other clothes but those four outfits? We bought you tons of clothes!" and you tell them about your igneous plan that you carried out that should cut down on luggage and save the world...well...let's just say they don't absorb that information very well. Just wanted to get that clear.

Anyway....

We are living in the house we rented and I am currently sharing a room with Blondie. Boy has his own room, Princess Pea and Stinker are sharing and Mom, Dad and Babe are in the same room. We have twenty acres and are always discovering new stuff on it. We often get lost and have to find our way back. We are building a fort...when we are over there that is. I have passed all the sections of AWANA and I am helping out with the little kids/Cubbies. I have three awesome friends I hang out with all the time. My life is/was going pretty smoothly.

Well that's the good news. The bad news is that I am completely confused about the whole presidency thing and I have no idea why I am on the side I am on and why I should be. I trust my parents judgement...but no one has bothered to tell me why they are against who they are against.
My dad has had to leave his job with the flickering camp and it's owners whom he has been with for seventeen years. There was more than a few tears all around when he had to break it to them and to us. However, the good news is that he has found a job and a home for us at the same camp where he and my mom met.

So there you go. That is at least all of my life that I can think of up till the present.
Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving and that you will have a Happy Hanukkah or Merry Christmas!!!!

We have a House!!!!

The title says it all...we have rented a house. It is SUPER close to our church and friends. We leased it the other week when the two oldest and I went to camp. I haven't seen it but...*laugh*(Yes, I haven't seen it.)...I hear its great. We have been mostly packing, packing, a little bit of packing, did I mention that we have been PACKING!!!!!! I packed up my room except for the stuff I could live with until we unpack everything in September. (about) I'm excited!!! I'm actually going to be able to live like that...I wonder if it's gonna work out..oh well. I better go!

Happy 4th of July!!! *fireworks go off*

Happy 4th of July to you all!!!!

*fireworks for five minutes*

I hope you all remembered it in time, we sure didn't!!! Until yesterday when a friend reminded me, I had completely forgot!!!!! So for those of you who are wondering, that's why we aren't having a party this year...Le Sigh...Any way, my artistic abilities are starting to come throughout today! *glares at you* Yes! I do have artistic abilities. However, Most people don't understand them, so I'm posting them on here to see how well they fare and will try again later.

Understood? Okay, then lets begin:

The Darker it is, The Longer you can Wear it

If you are anything like me, you wear clothes over and over again. And something I have noticed is that the darker the clothing is, the longer you can pass it off as clean and thus, wear it longer. Take for instance, my new dull green boy-ish shorts. I loved them so much I got two pairs of the dull green and one pair of cacky. I had made a wonderful choice because of two reasons. The first of which is that if one pair gets dirty, I can just wear the other one. The second though, is the best so far.(I think) I can wear the same on for a week or so!!! Because I have two then I can say, "But I'm wearing the clean one!!" And mom can say, "But I just washed that one, it's still in the dryer!!" But.... "But mom!!! These are clean, you washed them last week and I made sure I didn't fall in the water or get anything on them!!" And thus, the great clothing war will continue, forever, and ever.

Oh My Goodness!!

Wow, time has flown!! While it has flown, not so much and yet too much has happened. For instance, most of the time I was lounging around while watching TV, playing computer and doing school and the like. However, that is not the end of my tale. If you were following my Mom's blog (gratefulforgrace.blogspot.com) then you know all about my new baby brother. However, if you didn't and to refresh the minds of those who did, here is his story, from the beginning.

Okay, so I'm at AWANA with a friend who will remain nameless. For now we shall call her Sophie, for the sake of the press. Sophie was peering at my mom and then popped The Question. " Is your mom pregnant?" It had occurred to me in the months past that my mom had either been gaining a lot of weight, or she was pregnant. However, thinking that my mom would tell us if she became pregnant, I replied to Sophie. "No, but thank the Lord that you asked me, not her. She doesn't like it if you ask her if she's pregnant and she's not. She starts crying in private." Sophie was startled and started laughing. " I'm sorry, I really thought she was pregnant." It was pretty funny then, but if you thought that was funny, wait 'till you hear this next part! So we are on our way to H-E-B youth camp at Laity Lodge, when on the way there Mom hands us some card for the Brady Brunch. If you know the opening song to the show then you know why that announced it. If not, then go hear, I don't really know it either. Well, that gave me a shock, so I started laughing, thinking of Sophie asking just that week if she was pregnant. When I saw her at AWANA next week I explained the situation. It is now a big joke. My Mom's Doctor had told her that he was worried about her and didn't want her to have another baby after Stinker. My new baby wasn't planned, what happened was...well...umm...You'll have to read Mom's older posts to find out, I mean, after all, I want my blog to be safe for kids. Well, A few months later mom is as big as a water melon and ready for the baby to come. Even later we are preparing for the baby 3 weeks ahead. But then, a week and 2 days from the due date (my mom always has c-sections) she started to feel funny. She started having pains, the next day (Wednesday) she goes to see the Doctor. She doesn't come home for a week and 3 days. It turns out that she has to have the baby early. He was born and was named.....*blank blank blank* HA!! You really thought I was going to post his name on the Web?! No way. I have dubbed him Yawnsaur cause he yawns a lot (he yawned twice on the sonagram!) and cause both the outfits I got him have cute dinosaurs on it, so that's what I'll call him. Anyway, since the actual due date was 2 weeks early, he was born a total of 3 weeks early. That wasn't good at all! Not to mention he wasn't doing so well, so they flew him by helicopter to a hospital in a nearby city, mom and dad stayed with him the whole time. (go figure) They (the doctors)thought he was coming on that day and then on this day but there was always a problem. And then, after two weeks and three days, he came home, and that day was today.

I love my new brother, and I am sure he loves me. (or he will soon)(I mean, who could resit me?) I can't wait for him to talk.Well, I better go, I love you all, Kisses!!

Hello faithful viewers!

I know you are all probably going to prosecute me for not posting in almost a month, but hey! I've been pretty busy! Okay, maybe not exceptionally busy, but still, pretty busy. I had my friend Skye spend the night (finally), I've helped with a baby shower, I've gone to AWANAs a lot (every Wednesday), and just hung out around the house. I had a lot of fun being scolded by everyone for not posting, and will try not to make that mistake again. I don't really have any news except THE News, we are going to be staying where we are until after summer and will be doing summer camp here again. Thank everyone for praying, it certainly did help.

Please Pray for our Family

My Grandmother Mimi with ALS died last night. She had been suffering and struggling with the disease and passed away quietly. She had been having problems breathing and choked last night and passed away. My Grandpa, Papalou, misses her very much, and he will move in with us sometime soon. It is going to be very hard for all of us and it would help tremendously if you would pray for us. Noah and Chloe were at HEB youth camp with Daddy, while Phoebe, Esther and I were at our church while Mom went to a banquet at a different church. Mom got a call from Papalou saying that Mimi had taken a fall, A friend brought us to her house while Mom and Dad were with Papalou. We didn't expect to see her go so soon, she won't ever get to see the new baby, she won't get to see us move either. It is going to be exceptionally hard on Papalou, and he is the one who needs prayer the most. In God, H.B.
