Halloween Cany Prank!!!

Cornbelly's!!!

For Family Home Evening last night we all went to Cornbelly's to do their totally awsome corn maze which they have their. Alot of people were not able to come but we had a blast!! We had fun going around the maze. At one point we were casually following a little girl with her mom and she turned aroud and asked us why we were following her around. It was supper cute. Ashley and Rachel both had strange desires to run through the corn( not follow the path) so they did it a little. We also hid in the corn to try to scare people coming around the corner. The first time we didn't scare anyone but the second time i decided to change locations and where I chose to hid Ashley was and it litterally scared me half to death!!After we wandered around the corn maze we went to the corn box.

Here Ashley is really excited to play in the corn!!!

I think Rob just found some GOLD!!!!!!

And I think it just looks to good to eat!!!



Rob got stuck in the spider web. We are very grateful that Shilob was not around!!!

Rob and I got caught stealing the corn because we thought the corn was gold and was to good to eat, so they trew us in the stocks!!!



Here is the whole group in the Paul Bunnion chair!!!
After we got done at Cornbelly's we headed back to my apartment and had hot chocolate and Donuts!!! I really have a great FHE group and we have a ton of fun every Monday night!!!

Disneyland!!!

Disneyland was so much fun!! We went down to California to visit Eric and Stephanie and had a blast that week!! We went to Disneyland for three days and it was so much fun!! Thanks Eric and Stephanie for spending those long days with us!!

 

Day 31: Whatever tickles your fancy

So for my useing the computer in the classroom class we were assigned to take pictures over memorial day and make a video with music of the pictures. So I thought i would share it with you.



As fun as it was I am not a big fan of posting things on Youtube so I will be deleteing this video as soon as i have been graded on the assignment.

Day 30: The friendliest person you knew for only 1 day

Umm so i think about this and I am not sure. Most of the time when I meet a friendly person I usually become frineds with them or remain in contact them. But the one the really stands out to me right now is Emily Kranendonk. She is just so sincere and kind in everything she does and says. If you are around Emily you can't help but want to be around her because she just brings this wonderful spirit. And even if you only spend a day with her or just a few hours or minutes you are better off because you have been around her. To me she is a great example of someone who shows Christ like love to everyone she around.

Darth Vador in Disneyland???

How would Darth Vador spend his time in Diseyland??

Day 25: Someone you judged by their first impression

When i started working at Cold Stone for the first time in 2006 my second or third shift I met KT.(her name is Katie but on her tag at work it was spelled KT for fun). I did not like her from the beginning. She was a shift leader and she acted arragent and like she knew everything and treated the new employee's like they were meer children that no matter how they tried they would never get it right and we did everything wrong.which we did because we were new but it still didn't feel good to have it pointed out every thirty seconds or so. Lets just say she intimidated me and for the longest time I was scared to death of her!! I decided right then and there that I didn't like her.
Well about 2 to 3 months later we were working a closing shift together and some how got on the toppic of what kind of movies we liked and we found out that we are both BIG fans of the Jane Austin movies. I daringly suggested that maybe some time we could get together and watch one together. I was terrified of what her response would be. I bassicly gave my self two options she would utterly refuse to do it or she would say yes but only because she felt obligated to be polite. KT said yes and so we planned a date and time when we both didn't work and we got together. Lets just say that I was somewhat a scaredy pants and was scared to go to her house. The only consilation that I had was that KT's roommate was my sisters close friend Trina whom I had been around multiple times and felt comfortable around her. I prayed that Trina would be around and that got me to actually go.
I don't remember what movie we watched but I left thinking it was fun but not knowing what Katie really thougth. The next week when we worked together she told me she had fun and shocked me by saying we needed to do it again sometime soon. We soon found out we had many other things in common and now I consider Katie one of my closest friends. We still love to get together and do dinner and a movie. I would say about 75% of the time we are watching Jane Austin or BBC movies that we think might be good. One of our favorite BBC movies is North & South. We watching at least twice a year. ( believe me the amount of times we watch that has decressed dramaticlly since we first saw it!!)
Anyways Katie I am sorry I missed judged you at the beggining. I am so glad that I had a moment of bravery and suggested we did something outside of work!!

Day 24: Time to face morph

It is a given fact that we all have charicteristics that resemble our parents. So theoretically we will age to some degree the same as our parents.

So therefore Melanie and I will most likely look some what like this when we are at this age

Isn't she a beauty!!

here is a photo of us all together. Can you see the resemblence?

Although I do admit this is not the best of photos of Grandma we may end up looking a little like her.

Even now when I look at my mom's face I see her mother there. Althought it is interesting( or depressing my vote is interesting) to think about what we will look like when we are older I think the important thing to think about is their examples. I hope to some day be a good cook like my mom and Grandma are, I also hope so become the kind of women they are. kind, loving, and willing to serve others.
