I tag Aunty Joy! List ten things you are thankful for this year!

Hey everybody!

How was your day? Just thought I'd ask. Mine was okay. I didn't get all the laundry done, which is what I wanted to do. Also, I kept forgetting to do a job for my mom! Sorry. :)

Diet coke and Mentos rocket

This is AWESOME! I wanna try it!!! Looks so fun! :)

Egg rolls!

We love eating my moms yummy egg rolls, but the big fryer we cooked them in broke. It had been broken for quite a while, so we missed the occational dinner of yummy egg rolls!  This afternoon, my mom came home with a new cooker, and egg roll fixings. Well as you can imagine, we were all excited about dinner.  Everyone got involved helping make this wonderful dinner!

The new cooker. Pretty ain't it! :)

First, the fillings had to be mixed together. You have to do it with your hands. Brrrr, cold hamburger!

Then you have to roll it up in the egg roll shell.

Then it needs to be fried. I like the sound of the sizzle!

We had to put more frying pans on the stove cuz the food wasn't cooking fast enough.

Savannah enjoyed just sitting and watching.

They look so GOOD!!!

Now all thats left to do, and the best part about the whole thing, ENJOY!!! Can't forget the rice!

The Northwest Youth Conference!!!

Going For The Gold

Youth conference was AWESOME!!! We had so much fun!!! The sermons were so good! And Anders and Brandon got saved, so that makes it all the better! I just wanted to post a few pics from the services and some from the trip down there and back.It was sort of overcast and rainy on the way down, but once we got there, God blessed with lots of good weather!




Carina wore her McCain Palin pin to all services but one, and that was only because she forgot it! She is so funny!



The first service opened with a torch brought down the isle to light a fire in a silver bowl on a pedestal (like they do in the Olympics), but halfway down the isle, the fire blew out. The guy tried to light it with a lighter, but couldn't. Oh well. After that the preachers were introduced, and the Birdsongs sang the national anthem.
Greg Adams welcomed everyone there. The auditorium was filled with lots of excited, screaming teens!


There was lots of good singing. This is the Birdsong family. Father, two sons, and a mother at the piano. They sing so well, and one of the songs I really like is ... I can't remember the name of it, but its really good! Lol!





Kurt Skelly is a wonderful preacher, and teens love to hear him preach! He is so funny, and serious at the same time! Steve Roberson is the same way! We teens all love them!!! (Kurt Skelly is pictured) The preaching was just what was needed to fill the alter with teary eyes, and hearts dedicated to Jesus. If I remember correctly, 19 people were saved! God is SO good!
I myself made my decision to follow Jesus with or without the company of my friends! I want to be the one that can say, "Though none go with me, still I will follow." I know my friends will come with me though, as I encourage them to read their bibles every day, and follow with me!

We had lots of fun hanging out at the hotels too! We went to the store for ice cream. "Death by ice cream." Carina said. ;)


The Westside Baptist teens were there too!!! We had fun playing soccer with them at Back to Back sports, which was the afternoon activity on Friday. I wish Mrs. Browning could have been there too! She would have had fun! Hey everyone!!!

Brandon played Wii boxing for his team. I think he won the match for them. If you listen, you can hear Mr. Browning yelling "GO BRANDON!" Its pretty funny to watch someone play a Wii game!


We had some pretty skies to enjoy on the way back. All in all, that was the BEST youth conference I ever been to! It had been a wonderful conference, and we all just relaxed and enjoyed the trip home! :)

Bryant

I just thought I would post a cute picture of my baby boy. Its funny cuz his mouth is open. Lol!

Finally! A camera!

I have wanted my own digital camera for years. I had used my moms ALL the time! A good number of the pictures on her computer were taken by me, and she would go to use he camera and it would be almost full on pictures! Now I finally have my own! I got it on amazon.com! I like it a lot, and I can put more pics up now! Yay!
