Busy

2011-04-23T15:20:00.000-07:00

I've been CRAZY busy at the barn. Decided to upload some totally random pictures. Kinda wish I had more chill time, as much as I love work. I have things to do before bed, I'll catch ya later ;)

2010-12-21T08:02:00.000-08:00

This is a picture of me and C. Beth having fun at her place.

We were bored, sooooooo......

2010-04-21T11:57:00.000-07:00

Hey, for all my "forign" blog readers. (Aunt M, Aunt J, T. Ford, Gramma)

I thought this would be a cool new look into the backyard of my best friends house. We were pretty bored.

Web cam fun!

2010-04-13T09:40:00.000-07:00

We just got my dad's old web cam because he got a new computer with one built in!

Been having lots of fun with the "edit" portion. Lil sis and Lil bro are tons of fun with this!

It's so cool! The camera has face recognition, it sees you r face and you can put a fun item on it. Or warp it, whichever one you choose, it's fun!

Flowers

2010-04-10T14:32:00.000-07:00

I'm so happy to be settled in at this new house! I took some pictures of the tulips in our front yard and I had to share 'em. They are "Red embossed" tulips if I'm correct. Becca, hoping to plant your lillies today.

Tootsie

2010-04-02T18:01:00.000-07:00

Tootsie was baaaaaaaaaaad today! She is really cute, but LAZY! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! She stands 14 hands high. She's probobly the smartest horse in the barn! I can't describe her, it would take a long paragraph. Here's apicture, though.

Have you ever had that?

2010-03-27T15:59:00.000-07:00

Have you ever had that kind of friend, where you both know you each have differant best friends? There's a lot of honesty in a relationship like that. For instance neither of you say "Oh, yeah soandso, you're my best friend!" But what if you have too many friends like that? You start to feel lonley and rejected. What if you're best friend is a girl who has a differant best friend? You feel alone, like you really have no friends. But when all your friends ignore you, you can always find a friend in Jesus. And if you're just carefully vigulant enough, that girl who sits alone in youth group, or church, or school, normally needs someone just like you. Also beware that your pride in having a lot of friends doesn't blind you from that person to whom you are their best friend, but is feeling very overlooked by you. I found this with a girl by the name of R. Stone at youth group. She is more loyal a friend than I've ever seen in anyone else. Thanks a bunch R.Stone for sticking with me! Sorry I've been a jerk to you.

This is what happens when you let your little brother pick out smileys for you. Haha, thanks bro!

More Smileys!!!!!!

2010-03-17T07:33:00.000-07:00

Hey, been busy last few weeks with the move and all. So I figured all I have time for is these real quick.....

2010-03-16T18:51:00.001-07:00

Sickley

2010-02-25T07:54:00.000-08:00

Well, our whole family got sick with noro virus. It's not pleasant. You basically spend the night on the bathroom floor.

Then comes the cramps, the stomach squeezing, etc.

But I'll really try not to go too far into it. Trust me you don't want the details. So this means no stables on Wednesday, or youth, or riding Friday. The sickness only lasts 24 hours, but you're contagious for two days after.

2010-02-23T14:08:00.000-08:00

This song is pretty, unfortunatly, Taylor swift doen't seem like she wants to keep her purity. I have already chosen to stay pure for my husband.

Last post

2010-02-22T10:11:00.000-08:00

Haha, so my last post probobly seems pretty vain. But I'll say that I'm just figuring out smilebox and I had nothing else to make a video on. :P

Oh well, maybe all this practice with electronics will lead to bigger roles for me later.

Happy Valentines Day!

2010-02-19T17:46:00.000-08:00

Well I've been having a horsey holiday! I have now officially cantered the tallest horse in FEC barn. I just did. His name is Bob and he's really cute!

He's 15 hands high, whatever that means to you. That's him in the picture. Well, that's him from last summer. He's been rescued from an abusive thoroghbred racer/owener. He's fineand he's filling out quite nicley now. He's a terrible barn horse, but once you get on him he's amazing! I walk-trot-cantered him today. But I'm not a very good rider so that's saying something. His nicknames include Obber-bobbers, sabobbers, bobbie boy, and handsome boy.

We made this really funny video with our zhuzhu pets. We have Master Squiggles, Apprentance Squiggles, and Princess Pip Squeak!!!!

Let's run!

2010-01-31T13:00:00.000-08:00

This is a picture from last summer, at Cordous State Park. It was a fun day, we came to the park for lunch but none of us wanted to eat! We wanted to romp and play on the tempting green grass and the sparkling lake. We had a lot of fun but we also got really wet! Haha, unfortunatly (Not) we don't have any pictures of me that day. I was so wet it was embarresing! I, uh, erm, fell into the water and came up sputtering and choking, I was so wet! But I can't say I didn't have fun. It was a really warm day, so the water felt really good. :P

2010-01-29T06:33:00.000-08:00

I dug up some old pictures from the spring formal, yes, that's me in the violet dress. I do NOT normally wear dresses! Maybe later I'll post some from last year's formal.

This is a pretty picture I took at Littlestown park. I love the shadows on the grass.

Cantering!

2009-12-23T10:54:00.000-08:00

As many of my up to date blog readers may have noticed, I REALY feel a strong attraction to horses. On December 16th, 2009, I cantered a horses for the first time. Here is a video of my second lesson cantering. I was very tense, and I won't say I looked like a pro, but I really felt like one. FYI, the horse I'm cantering is Slick.

Wall-Mart chaos!

2009-12-19T19:08:00.000-08:00

We went to wall-mart on the 18, we were expecting a storm on the 19th, supposedly two feet. It was a nightmare to say the least! We waited in line to check out for about thirty minutes. All the milk was gone, and the lines were insane! Enjoy the pics, I'd say these are worthy of forwarding.

Life Without Limbs

2009-10-15T18:16:00.000-07:00

I got to see Nick Vujicic! He is an amazing man! I was blessed in seeing him speak. :D I was totally amazed that someone as disabled as him, could trust in God so much! Please watch this video, I beg it of you! It will be the best spent 3 1/2 minutes in your life!

Click here to watch.

I ask only one more thing of you. Please email this video, or pass it around on facebook, your own blog, or any other ways you can think of. So many people were saved the night we saw him, it was unbelievable. Nick prayed over the room, and asked for everyone who was saved to stand up. People I know stood up! I was so happy for them!

CRAZY DAY! :P

2009-10-14T10:03:00.000-07:00

I think I just had the most frantic five minutes of my life!

1) Lil' bro tried to trip me on the newly waxed floor
2) I knocked over a full bottle of coke, it spilled under the toaster oven and microwave
3) Lil' bro screamed because he slipped on the same floor and jammed his toe on the oven
4) Mom asked me (in the middle of all this) "Did you get all of your schoolwork done?"
5) I blew up! I screamed at Lil' bro and smacked the counter with my broken fingers **OW!**
6) I ran out of the room, held my fingers out and realized that my fingers had been more severely bruised
7) I asked God to help me calm down. I bandaged my fingers, mopped up the coke, and ran the Swifter over the floor to take some of the wax off

Phew!I can make a big mess out of a perfect day.

Bobo and Baily #2

Baily was terrified! He took off like a bullet and shot past Bobo, who's herd reaction was to TAKE OFF RUNNING!!!!

Bobo and Baily!

2009-09-12T06:40:00.000-07:00

This video starts out with a nice peaceful day in the pasture, Bobo is the black-and -white paint and Baily is the dappled one. But watch Baily (Nicknamed Bails) as he tries- well, just watch the video.

EEEEEEeeeeeep! Gosh, darnit! Uuuuuughhghhghghgh!!! What is this world coming to?? Apparently November 22nd is Go Goth day, you're supposed to dress up in black and chains and hoodies! My gosh, you won't see me wearing that!

Sunset

2009-08-30T14:15:00.000-07:00

I thought I should post a picture of the sunset that I took recently, I think that we can all learn a lot from looking with a naked eye at the sun.

Not many people see the true beauty and valor of the flaming ball of gas. It is not a simple working flame. It is a symbol of the true beauty of the LORD our God. And like the sun, not very many people see the true beauty of the SON.

Beautiful Boats

2009-08-30T14:09:00.000-07:00

We went to our local state park in July and I got some exelent pictures of the boats on the lake!

In some places, the water looks like snow, but honest honest honest (beacuse I have no reason to lie) it's water.

2009-08-30T14:08:00.000-07:00

Thank goodness I found my camera cord......I have to catch up on some serious blogging!!

Poem: Reality to Fiction

2009-06-20T11:11:00.000-07:00

As I was on a midnight wander,
so came to my attention a little girl
standing in the moonlight.

-K. Kelly Version #One

As I was strolling down the sidewalk at ten 'o' clock,
I saw a little girl on a rock,
standing in the moonlight

--K. Kelly Version #2

As I was strolling, a midnight wander,
So came to my attention a little girl,
Standing on a boulder
and under the moonlight her face was pale,
and covered all over in ash.
So her hair hung lank and unkempt,
From her emitted a soft green glow,
as looking at her- she disappeared

- K. Kelly Finished Poem

As you can see above, I made a poem from a thing that really happened to me, into a kind of ghost story. I was walking down our sidewalk at 10 o clock, then saw Lil sister Lucy walking ahead of me. When the moonlight shone on her head, I foolishly imagined a ghost. But when I heard her singing, all my doubts were ceased.

On the mall

2009-06-19T19:36:00.000-07:00

We spent a fun time touring Washington D.C. our cousin (Daniel) and our Aunt Jill came all the way up from Alabama! We were so exited to hear that they were in NY the day before, and wanted to tour DC on Thursday!

Sighs, drops head, rolls eyes

Burning eggs

2009-06-19T14:42:00.000-07:00

My first attempt (Burnt, dry, smelly, .etc)

Moms first attempt (Perfect!)

*Sighs* I really

wanted to make myself eggs and toast. So on went the burner and CRACK went the egg shell and plop went the egg. I Didn't see a need to butter on it, or greese the pan (I've never intently watched my mom make eggs) and managed to BURN the egg. I felt really dumb afterwords, when Mom came in, buttered the pan and made me the perfect egg.

Pool

2009-06-07T13:52:00.000-07:00

Hello all,
We went to the Pool today and Lil Bro said "I'll Be right back!" so we watched him and he went to the 10 ft section. "GET BACK HERE NOW!" yelled I. Lil bro stopped dead in his tracks. He came back and said, "I jus' wanted to see if you were watching." I grinned. Thats all Little boys are ever doing:

Seeing if you were watching......

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

2009-06-05T09:22:00.000-07:00

Hello all,

I have recently spent (this morning) THREE HOURS reading the second book in the chronicles of Narnia, Called the Lion, the Witch and Wardrobe. I really enjoied it, and have began re-reading The Horse and His Boy. For any who have never read C.S. Lewis's book, (The The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe) Please consider!

Hopes,

K. Kelly

Foot prints

2009-05-19T09:50:00.000-07:00

This is one of my favorite poems.

A man went to heaven and God let this man see the foot prints of where he (the man) walked in life.

But the man noticed that at the good times in his life there were two sets of foot prints, he knew they were God's. But at the hard times, there was only one set. He asked God: "Why did you leave me in the hardest points in my life?" God replied "That was when I was carrying you."

In The Car

2009-05-14T06:10:00.000-07:00

A pretty funny moment in the car today....

Lil bro was rambling on about Johnnys volcano (Any one who knows him knows what that is)
Lil Sister was singing Christmas carols (no idea why)
Dad was trying to listen to the radio, and as a result, kept turning it up louder and louder (by the way, the song was Disco duck)
Mom was sitting in the front passengers telling everyone to quiet down
and I was sitting in the captains chair plugging my ears.

Sunset

2009-05-09T09:36:00.000-07:00

We have just had

a beautiful pink and purple sunset I am calling this picture "Pink Storm" and very fittingly so.

Shilloetted Kitten

2009-05-09T09:29:00.000-07:00

I thought this was a pretty shilloette of Linus (our cat) against the sunset.

The End of the World!!

2009-05-08T09:46:00.000-07:00

DADDDDDDYYYYYY!

SOMTHINS WRONG WITH THE POTTYYYYYYYYY!!!

Cried Little bro' on a friday morning. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING, SON! Replied Dad.

Dad rushed away from sorting bills to have a look. I was sitting at the breakfast bar at the time and later heard Lil bro give a detailed account of what had happened, and from a 4-year-year-old it sounded as if the sky was falling. Later, when I asked Dad what had happened he replied "You heard your brother, the world was ending, and I saved it with a plunger!"

Poetry

2009-05-03T17:25:00.000-07:00

There is some kind of Magic around nearly all Poetry, notice I have recently posted LUCY GRAY, this is my favorite poem (Lucy Gray) but I also like Springtime Moments:

My senses come alive,
showered in the unwavering momentum of spring.
To hear, to feel, to see, to smell the sweetness of spring
and the miracle of life once again. PJC

Tiny Chicks!!

2009-05-02T12:13:00.000-07:00

Chickedee

2009-05-01T18:15:00.000-07:00

This is just a simple picture I took of a perching chickedee. He is on the fence around my back yard and against the pine trees lining the fence in the back.

Lucy Gray (or, Solitude)
By William Wordsworth

Oft I had heard of Lucy Gray:And, when I crossed the wild,I chanced to see at break of dayThe solitary child.
No mate, no comrade Lucy knew;She dwelt on a wide moor,-- The sweetest thing that ever grewBeside a human door!
You yet may spy the fawn at play,The hare upon the green;But the sweet face of Lucy GrayWill never more be seen.
To-night will be a stormy night --You to the town must go;And take a lantern, Child, to lightYour mother through the snow.
That, Father! will I gladly do:'T is scarcely afternoon --The minster-clock has just struck two,And yonder is the moon!
At this the Father raised his hook,And snapped a fagot-band;He plied his work; -- and Lucy tookThe lantern in her hand.
Not blither is the mountain roe:With many a wanton strokeHer feet disperse the powdery snow,That rises up like smoke.
The storm came on before its time:She wandered up and down;And many a hill did Lucy climb:But never reached the town.
The wretched parents all that nightWent shouting far and wide;But there was neither sound nor sightTo serve them for a guide.
At day-break on a hill they stoodThat overlooked the moor;And thence they saw the bridge of wood,A furlong from their door.
They wept -- and, turning homeward, cried,In Heaven we all shall meet;-- When in the snow the mother spiedThe print of Lucy's feet.
Then downwards from the steep hill's edgeThey tracked the footmarks small;And through the broken hawthorn hedge,And by the long stone-wall;
And then an open field they crossed:The marks were still the same;They tracked them on, nor ever lost;And to the bridge they came.
They followed from the snowy bankThose footmarks, one by one,Into the middle of the plank;And further there were none!
-- Yet some maintain that to this dayShe is a living child;That you may see sweet Lucy GrayUpon the lonesome wild.
O'er rough and smooth she trips along,And never looks behind;And sings a solitary song That whistles in the wind.

Sky

2009-05-01T12:30:00.000-07:00

For luck, I took a picture of the sky with sun through the clouds. I really like it!

2009-04-30T18:21:00.000-07:00

This picture may look very simple to you, but I assure you it must have taken twenty differnat times to get one that looked good!

Flowers in bloom

2009-04-30T18:15:00.000-07:00

This was a large tree that is just down the block from us, I have always admired its transformation from bud to flower to leaf. I think it is a beautiful tree in all stages, but I especially love it in its bud-to-flowers stage.

Helicopters

2009-04-30T17:54:00.000-07:00

Notice the difference of this one section of branch in just one week, it had gone from buds to flowers to tiny helicopters all in seven days, you see, the transaction is quite complex for the human mind to comprehend. It is a matter of the food of the plant (sun) forcing itself through the hollow of the branch to the end where it shoves through the end of the branch, solidifying and forming the bud. Which as you may know, then turns into a flower which turns into a helicopter.

Snow in grass

2009-04-30T17:50:00.000-07:00

Snow, (in my opinion)

Is a very beautiful thing, to much of it can be very harmful. But when just enough is distributed, it can be very beautiful.

Paw Prints

2009-04-30T17:46:00.000-07:00

Often,

I think dogs do not get the credit they deserve they are beautiful creatures, really, but it is also used as an in sult; YOU FOUL DOG!

Narnia

2009-04-30T17:42:00.000-07:00

You know, I think this picture looks strangly like the lamp post in Narnia for all who have read the books. Just imagine Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy walking up to it.

This is just a cute little video I made while I was VERY bored. This is called a picture sucsession video, it is the first one I have ever made. It is made by taking a picture of a solid item, taking a picture then moving the object slightly, taking another picture, moving it again and soforth.

Weather in Florida

2009-04-26T11:48:00.000-07:00

*sigh* yes, this is what the weather was like in Florida. This is just one day of the weather we enjoyed in Florida. I am pleased to say we brought some of this weather back with us.

Sunset at home

2009-04-25T19:02:00.000-07:00

Yes, even after we come home, the sun continues to set. Here are some photos.

Horses in Florida

2009-04-25T17:59:00.000-07:00

Yes, even in Florida, I manage to find all horses and their relatives. At the petting Zoo there was a Mini Pony and a small heard of zebras. The zebra is cousin to the pony type 3 and that would make no sense to you unless you studied horses, like me.

Me heading off

2009-04-25T17:10:00.000-07:00

I looked nice as I headed off towards the Spring Formal, in a flowing blue/purple dress in our front lawn. The dress it so happens was sleeveless but when covered with a simple shawl from SEARS, I fitted me quite nicely. I don't really like dresses, but in seeing how it looked on me I quite forgot the itchy dress on my fresh sunburn from florida. I still much prefer Jeans and a T-shirt.....

Little Dragonfly

2009-04-25T16:48:00.000-07:00

See this little guy? He just flew in and perched on my nose!!! Not really, I bought him at a gift shoppe in Florida, it is a little wooden dragonfly that is easy to balance on your lip, finger, nose or even your tongue! I really enjoyed having him....while he lasted..... It was kinda dumb for me to get such a delicate item with a little sibling in the house.... Lil bro ended up snapping off both wings!

Spring formal

2009-04-25T16:34:00.000-07:00

Something that I thought was very funny, was that the boys and the girls seemed to congregate in two seperate corners of the room, the boys in one and the girls in the other! See the pictures? Notice how the girls booth is considerably less crowded than the boys? Thats beacuse most of the girls were off dancing, and the boys were not as much into it.

Jake and Drew

Having A very fun day, we went to the co-ops spring formal today. Which involes dancing (familys) snacks, and a fun sense of community. Ahem.. No offense to any of my friends, but Lizzie can be a little umm strange sometimes.

even in Florida my little brother manages to find creepy crawlers! He amazes me. Even though I know that crocs are native to Florida, I was still amazed at the 35 different ones that were there. Actually, it was only 5 crocs, and the rest were alligators, but it's all the same to me.

Sunset o'er the water

My Mom and Dad got to watch the sunset over the water, it was beautiful. The sand was all white and the water was crystal blue, but when the sun set, the sand screamed orange and the water cried yellow.

We went to the beach and I got very badly sunburned, but other than that it was lots of fun!
