Today is my oldest (and only) brother's 19th birthday!
here are some pictures of him opening a few presents we got him. Happy birthday Joel! I love you!






Every Thursday (almost) Elle and I go over to the Gralnik's to play with the girls and help with anything else. I took some pictures of the girls playing as princesses going to a ball, and playing some other games.


















Good sense makes one slow to anger,
and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

-Proverbs 19:11

Listen to advice and accept instruction,
that you may gain wisdom in the future.

-Proverbs 19:20

I've been reading in Proverbs for the past 2 weeks, and these two verses in chapter 19 really stood out to me. I memorized them, and hope to be able to use them as references when I need them.
Also please pray for me to be more humble. I'm struggling a lot in my pride, and I need prayers.
Love you all!

Well really I had no idea where to start with my 604 (exactly)vacation pictures I took (No they weren't ALL of the sky lol), so I put selected ones into this handy slide show gadgets. I'm sorry you have to sit and watch through all these pictures, but really it was really the only way for me to post these pictures after being demanded by certain people. (Sorry about the run-on sentence). So whoever is brave enough to sit through every picture...Enjoy!

I get back in like 5 days, so I should post my vacation pictures by then!

Yesterday us, and some other families from church went blueberry picking. About 500 people had been there the day before us, so they had wiped out almost all the ripe blueberries. But we decided to try and see if we could find any ripe blueberries. Many of us were climbing inside the bushes, and pulling down the top branches to get some big ones. We got a little scratched up but it was worth it. So all in all our family got about 2 lbs. of blueberries for a very good price!
Also July 4th we drive to VA. so I hope to post pictures when we get back!
until then...
