Needless to say I only have Jordan's performance and it starts out unfocused. Bear with me, it gets better. Click on the link to watch.<br />

We head over to the Lindahl house (since we do not have cable) and are treated to some delicious baked goods by Ellinor herself. It has become something that we look forward to plus it is totally a girls night! The cupcake above was lemon with white frosting with a little lemon added to flavor it up. She makes all of it from scratch....blows me away! I'm lucky if I get dinner on the table. :)<br />

It was quick and easy and looks so good. Tilapia wrapped around asparagus and served with brown rice. Very yummy and healthy! I also must mention the plate, I absolutely love the rectangular shape.<br />

Life has been very busy, but I felt I needed to post the annual Halloween costumes. The girls have been so busy with school that we did not even crave pumpkins this year. The first time in their young lives. These costumes were put together in roughly 5 minutes....not too bad considering. It was good to hear them laugh and crack stupid jokes. You would have thought this was their first time to trick or treat! Afterwards, they all came back and swapped candy that they didn't like and watched The Sing Off.</div>Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05113225746885057049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7183295105055706774.post-88855907239149811062011-06-03T22:48:00.000-04:002011-06-03T22:48:32.602-04:00Hiking in the Georgia Mountains<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">To wrap up our trip in Helen, we decided to quick hike Anna Ruby Falls. It will cost you $2 a person to enter but is worth it if you have gone that far. The hike is mainly uphill but is on a paved path while you are surrounded by the lush forest. It is less than 1/2 mile so anyone can do it. I know if I can, you can. This used to be the one spot we would take our visitors from the North when we lived in Atlanta. Enjoy the pictures.<br />

They were both students in my Sunday School class at Messiah Lutheran. This is just making me feel a little bit older. The wedding was held in Helen, GA so we were able to make a mini-vacation out of it. We tubed the Hooch two times, once on Saturday and then again on Sunday. It was incredibly hot outside so this cooled us down.<br />

I ask myself where the time has gone. We toasted "Cokes" to her day and spent most of the morning outside because it was another glorious morning. The birds were singing all around us and then a cool wind kept us refreshed. The baby bluebird eggs were missing this morning. I sure hope a big, mean Blue Jay did not eat them. There were about 4 eggs in one of our gourds near the deck.\<br />
<br />
Both girls were off to swim team to help with guppies and then have their own practice. Home to shower, Panera Bread for dinner and then to top it off, Pirates of the Caribbean for entertainment!<br />
<br />
I've also found a book that I find myself picking up every time I have a minute. It's Split Second by David Baldacci. I think I may need to read all of his books this summer. Nothing like a good mystery. <br />
<br />

So it may be Sunday when I am writing about Saturday's activities.<br />
<br />
After spending all hours of the night watching movies, scrapbooking and looking at old photos, no one was ready to rise early the next morning. Kirk was the only one awake and enjoying a beautiful morning, with the birds singing, on the deck doing work. Actually, I believe I really woke up when the new neighbors moving trucks arrived around 8 a.m. but didn't get out of bed until 10:30. Still dragging around today. Jordan was such a good hostess and made all of her friends waffles for breakfast. After everyone left, we dressed and headed out to the Greenville Downtown Airport to find out about the Young Eagles program. Well, they do not offer the Young Eagles program here but did tell us all about flying and becoming a pilot. I took a couple of photos of the plane we checked out. Too bad all the private jets that flew in for the BMW Classic were all gone already. Maybe we could have spotted a celebrity!!!!<br />

The rest of the afternoon, I worked on the following table decorations for the confirmation dinner at Advent. Finished painting the sticks just in time to get to the dinner and help out. We had a team of 12-15 youth helpers that did an awesome job of serving the confirmands, parents and mentors dinner. I included a picture of how it turned out. I used the Cricut Inspired Heart cartridge using my gypsy.<br />

The girls and I worked the used home school book sale all day yesterday. Sold a lot but also brought home a lot of books. Looks like I will be ebaying in the upcoming future. The flexibility of homeschooling has come in handy today. We slept late and have been getting the house cleaned up for a little birthday celebration tonight. My baby turned 14 last week and we are celebrating tonight with a home cooked meal of grilled hamburgers, potato pops and salad. We will add some sparkling juice from IKEA to make it special. Yummy! Here is some of the yummy food and cake we enjoyed.</div>Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05113225746885057049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7183295105055706774.post-7174721367704920882009-07-18T09:58:00.000-04:002009-07-18T10:01:09.003-04:00End of a seasonThis morning finds me in a very creative mood and seeing the end of swim season in sight. The girls both swim today and then we will be finished. Kirk and I are both proud of them for making top 40 in the county. I will not miss being consumed running the team behind the scenes...in fact I'm not sure what I will do with all of my free time! :))) Maybe a little scrapping and cardmaking?

Woke up to rain and steam. Very muggy outside so it was a good day to be inside. Listened to a great sermon on Jacob, a character from our family album. Hard to find a family today that is not dsyfuncial...but we still love and support each other.<br /><br />Ate lunch at Compadres near the Drive Stadium. Best taco salad I've had in awhile. Kirk didn't care for his burrito. After lunch it was off to the Greenville Little Theater for "Carousal". Enjoyed the show. Couldn't believe I have never seen it performed before.<br /><br />Shared dinner with our German neighbors and boy was it good! Even had pudding from Germany....yummy.<br /><br />Spoke with my father and got in trouble for not sending a card which I knew was coming. I handled that well until he asked me about my run-in with the police. The little girl came out in me and I didn't want to tell him what happened...thanks Jane for telling on me :) I've shared the funny story with many others but was afraid of my own father! Once I told him I was not arrested he laughed with me about the whole situation. Letterboxing is starting to get me into too much trouble.<br /><br />Happy Father's Day to all.Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05113225746885057049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7183295105055706774.post-23566663021155787612009-06-21T22:03:00.001-04:002011-05-20T16:16:07.371-04:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWbk20kqa8dquVKND6tfSVoF3Yccv3H119pRSouPv4ZEEW9DPN3ipvoV3nbyvor4cSX8XgaFXoU0U1ZxIEZrw_3jOTisAUN6ylIJqbXMVn612ltz9GN2xYZ57PHTww5PRaneyGaeZhqPI/s1600-h/easter+001.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349967290465038162" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWbk20kqa8dquVKND6tfSVoF3Yccv3H119pRSouPv4ZEEW9DPN3ipvoV3nbyvor4cSX8XgaFXoU0U1ZxIEZrw_3jOTisAUN6ylIJqbXMVn612ltz9GN2xYZ57PHTww5PRaneyGaeZhqPI/s320/easter+001.JPG" style="cursor: hand; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px;" /></a> Here is one of my creations for my fabulous father who is also a great fisherman.

The little guppies are so cute and want to try so hard. I remember when my girls were like that. Kelsey did get up and go with me. Glad to be in the water as it was already quite warm out at 9 in the morning.<br /><br />Walked home and was accosted by Jordan. She gave me an earful about waking her up in the mornings. Always on the phone or yelling into the computer screen when talking via skype. I guess she is turning into a teenager. I did offer Kelsey a Coke for her getting up and told Jordan too bad...this was her reply, "I don't want one because it makes your insides rot!"<br /><br />Thanks goes out to Kelsey for finding this cute page. She is my computer guru.<br /><br />Now off to shower and get ready to host a dinner party.Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05113225746885057049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7183295105055706774.post-24841757644776787752009-06-20T08:29:00.000-04:002009-06-20T08:34:14.659-04:00First DayWelcome to my blog! This is something I have been meaning to do and never got around to. I want to post daily, my thoughts, trials, inspirations and projects. I seem to be losing too much of my everyday happenings as time continues to fly by me. I welcome you to join me on my journey to learning more about ourselves and what makes us tick.<br /><br />Now, I have to go and put on my bathing suit to help out our littlest swimmers at their guppy meet this morning at the Riverwalk pool. Also trying to get my two teens out of bed to help out. So far not very successful.Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05113225746885057049noreply@blogger.com0
