Cardboard Testimonies
This is a video from my Grandma and Aunts Church in Lake Hazasu, AZ. It's very moving. I hope you'll take a moment and see Gods hand in your own life. (My Aunt Shawnee is the one with the Insecurities sign)

Let the Sun Shine In
Usually I open all our blinds in the morning to let the sunlight in. I love the sunlight to fill the house during the day. Oliver watches me do this everyday. If I get busy and forget to do this routine right away,he will try and do it for me. He will go around the house pulling down on the blind cords as he says "'e mornin' ime!" If he can't reach one, he will call for me, "'is one, 'is one, do 'is one!"
Talents...what talents?
I try really hard to hide my talents...so I am not found out. Unfortunately my very best friends have seen me in action and know who to call on in a pinch. Shh! don't tell anyone else.
I got such a call from Tanya, asking me to throw together a parade presentation in a week. The parade theme is Snowball fights and Starry Nights. I need to decorate a camel, 2 horses, and their riders. I wasn't sure how to fit in the Snowball Fights part of the theme, but going on what I had to work with I thought the three wise men and the star would be our best bet. Not extremely original, but this is short notice after all.
Tanya and I spent the day with a $50 budget running all over town gathering supplies to make three wise men costumes, and props, and a sign to put over the camels hump advertising her Grandmas Ranch in Star.(Yes, It is a real baby camel.)
Because I love Tanya and her family, I am donating my time and talents to the Parade. Tanya is coming over tomorrow to be my assistant as we quickly throw together some costumes and props.
Actually I love to do this sort of stuff, it is fun, and challenging, and gives me a rare creative outlet. I am off to bed now, exhausted from shopping and imagining and look forward to a day of cutting, glueing, and sewing tomorrow.

Killer Bunnies
Levi's family is completely addicted to the game Killer Bunnies. We played it most of the Thanksgiving break. The starter pack for the games is reasonable priced, but you will get addicted and want to get all the add-on packages, which adds up. It's marked for ages 11 and up. The object is to keep at least one of your bunny cards on the table (alive), gather some carrot cards,which ultimately puts you in a lottery for the winner. The person who has the correct carrot card is the winner! You must do all this while others are putting down cards that could for example -have your bunny abducted by aliens. We highly recommend the game, so go out and get it and play it with family and friends. But WARNING -be careful Killer Bunnies is addicting.
Thanksgiving at My Sisters in Nampa
After the buffet we headed over to my sister's house. She thinks that going to the buffet is not "real" Thanksgiving, so my family always boycotts the buffet. We had Thanksgiving lunch and dinner and I still didn't have to cook or clean. AHH glorious holiday!
Here is a quick smilebox I made with some of the pictures, all are of my family. I have one brother (Raymond) and two sisters (Summer and Amanda). I am the oldest, then Amanda, Summer, and Raymond is the baby.
