2014 is almost here???

WOW! This year has flown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so surprised that its the end of the year!

It's been a super fun year! :~D

I decorated donuts :~)

My corps de ballet has grown in size and ability :~)

The cats learned to stay away from L-Jo ;~)

I've danced!

I made a heart shaped pepperoni for my cat.

I also played with my hair.

We had Tops move into our neighborhood.

I also had fun experimenting with the cameras.

And took over 600 spring bud pictures.

And each one is special.

Aren't they pretty?

My loving Dad got ice cream and sprinkles for me. 3/5ths of the ice cream was sprinkles.

Our cat broke into our neighbor's basement.

We got a new stove!

And some new hats. :~D

We planted some lovely gardens.

And tried making homemade bubbles.

L-Jo got her first stitches.

T-Tot got a haircut :~)

As did I!

It's amazing how much it's grown!

We went camping! :~D

I danced at the State Fair.

We also did some canning and freezing.

We tried making zucchini pickles. Very delicious!

And lots of apple products from the 180lbs+ of apples we picked, bought and were given.

We even tried making sushi! :~D

School started!

School was fun!

We went on a few hikes this past year.

We enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving and fetched a tree!

Isn't it pretty?

All the school books I finished BEFORE Christmas!

We celebrated the birth of Jesus at Christmas.

And took our first plane ride!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome to

May God bless you this year!

Proverbs 9:11
For through wisdom your days will be many,
and years will be added to your life.

Best wishes from my family to yours!

Psalm 65

For the director of music. A psalm of David. A song.

¹Praise awaits you, our God, in Zion;
    to you our vows will be fulfilled.
²You who answer prayer,
    to you all people will come.
³When we were overwhelmed by sins,
    you forgave our transgressions.
⁴Blessed are those you choose
    and bring near to live in your courts!
We are filled with the good things of your house,
    of your holy temple.

⁵You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,
    God our Savior,
the hope of all the ends of the earth
    and of the farthest seas,
⁶who formed the mountains by your power,
    having armed yourself with strength,
⁷who stilled the roaring of the seas,
    the roaring of their waves,
    and the turmoil of the nations.
⁸The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;
    where morning dawns, where evening fades,
    you call forth songs of joy.

⁹You care for the land and water it;
    you enrich it abundantly.
The streams of God are filled with water
    to provide the people with grain,
    for so you have ordained it.
¹⁰You drench its furrows and level its ridges;
    you soften it with showers and bless its crops.
¹¹You crown the year with your bounty,
    and your carts overflow with abundance.
¹²The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;
    the hills are clothed with gladness.
¹³The meadows are covered with flocks
    and the valleys are mantled with grain;
    they shout for joy and sing.
