Garage sale Treasures

Today was an AWESOME week for garage sailing! There were a bunch of garage sales all over Big Lake today. So here is what I bought. A big tin full of shells, and a very cute, soft monkey! There was also a green one but I liked the purple one better. And the most exciting item of all, a beautiful HOPE CHEST! I am so happy and very glad with the price. On the price tag it said it was $5, but I asked if I could have it for $3. Then he said " How about $2.50!" .50 more off, sure! So now I have a Hope chest! YAY! I also got this pink flowery (girly girl) razor scooter! I always wanted a Razor scooter. So now I can check off a couple of things on my wish list.

Well I had such a good time today! My mom got some other treasures that I'm sure she'll blog about soon. Thank you for following my blog everybody!

4th of July at the Kelley Farm

We had such wonderful time at the Kelley Farm yesterday! We all are so blessed to have freedom in America. I am very proud to be an American. I don't have to starve and worship other gods,and have nice clothes and people to take care of me also love me. So here is a nice picture of all of us in front of the American flag. While we were listening to a speech we got to hold up a sign. I guess we were supposed to say the words on the flag but I think it would be kind of embarrassing! Kayli loved feeding the horses hay! I kept watching her pass by with barrels and barrels of hay! Today her back and neck hurt just a little she says! We also played town ball. It was really fun, there were no strikes and outfielders. I missed in this shot as you can see the ball right by my butt! But It makes me feel better after I missed I hit the ball hard and very hard if I do say so myself!

We had a great time at the farm yesterday with our friends yesterday! Thank you for coming with us Olson's! Have a great fourth of July everybody!

Happily,

Treasures and Prizes

We are doing a half price book store summer reading program this summer! I have been working really hard on making reading fun and now I love it! I wouldn't say I'm a total bookworm like Zoe, but for me it's just fine. An hour a day won't hurt a bit. So here is what I got at the half price book store. I got Princess Academy last week and Pride and the Prejudice, Sling shot monkey, and a word search book this week! Now these are the things I bought with my own money this week for garage saling. I love things with monkeys on them! Can't play enough sudoku, Tirzah already gave me a sudoku book which I totally forgot about but I love sudoku. I found this cute frog coin purse for free. Might be a good Christmas present for somebody? Hmmm? How about ___ Can't say.

My mom bought us all good games! Oh yeah! We all always wanted these games .We've been playing with them for a few days. She also got us two tennis rackets too! Thanks mom! We got paper dolls and books also.

Well we found a lot of fun things this week. Hope you did too. Thank you for reading!

Happily,

Kelley Farm!

My mother had gotten a historical museum pass for museums all over Minnesota! So we went to the Oliver Kelly farm. So this is me and Kayli's idea of the STENCH in the outhouse that you can actually go to the bathroom in. We went on a specific day because they did Dairy Day! We made butter, it was very messy, slimy, gooey etc. Personally I love making meatloaf so I can squish it all together. Kayli enjoyed it very much too!

In the back of the barn there was some baby kittens that looked only a couple of weeks old. They were the cutest things you ever saw! I love kittens. I hope to have one someday.

Kayli of course loves the horses. She was petting this horse and feeding it etc. What a cowgirl!

Sorry, Sorry, Sorry I haven't been blogging at all lately. I guess I just was in a bad mood lately.

Joyfully,

Zoe's birthday!

Yeah, it's Zoe's birthday! We all made a surprise birthday party for Zoe when she came home from our cousins house. It was so much fun! We went shopping for balloons and the ingredients for her favorite meals. Zoe loved it! Now she is a teenager! Wow, I can't even imagine that! Here she is opening her presents.

We made her a homemade Oreo Cheesecake for her birthday this year! Yum!

Blowing out all the candles of her cake. Make a wish! Hurry so we can eat! We had chili and corn bread for lunch, and chicken pot pie for dinner! Yum!

What a fun day that was! I still even can't believe she is thirteen! She is the best big sister in the world!

At the beach!

It has been a very long time since we went to the beach. The weather was very nice and sunny, and a perfect day for a picnic on the beach. We walked a little bit down the road, but not too much. My mom was doing great, which was shocking! So we all looked for sea shells and turtles. I need to raise turtles for my science book. Baby turtles actually that are a girl and a boy. So back with my story. Zoe and I were just looking around in the ice chunky water and suddenly a dead fish pops up out of the water. Ewe gross I say! Zoe got a stick, pulled it to shore, and poked its eye ball. When I look behind me the fish is on the stick and Zoe is chasing with it at me. Ugh, sisters! Kayli on the other hand was picking sea shells and cool rocks. I thank the Lord that He gave us nice weather this week. We also did walk the plank with an old tree. The water was freezing cold so I did not very much want to go in it, but I did it with Zoe cause she always makes it more fun. Have a good day everyone!

Baking Weaver's muffins for mom.

You all know that my mother needs as much rest as possible, right? So my sisters and I very quietly make breakfast for her every morning. Such as: Eggs, toast and bacon, muffins etc. So we made blueberry muffins for her that morning. Weaver's blueberry muffins! (Which I think are the best blueberry muffins in the world). Make sure every drop goes into the mini muffin holder.

Now they are done! Beautiful if I do say so myself! Sorry I haven't been blogging at all lately, things have been on my mind a lot. Thanks for reading!

Science Mueseum

Sorry I haven't been blogging much everybody. Things have been really wacky lately with medical stuff. So last week on Monday we had Matthew and Andrew full time that day. It's impossible to stay at home all day long. So we decided to go invite our friends the Olson's and go to the Science Museum. That's just fine with me! Kayli here is laughing for some reason, which I don't know why of course. I think Andrew thinks this weaving string is very interesting, don't you think?

Matthew loves the Science museum. He likes pushing buttons and looking at how things work.

Very impressive for someone who has a disease.

Afterwards we got to go to Lands End, and there was a sale there. I found this nice expensive $100 dress for 90% off! $10 bucks! AWESOME!!!!!! It is my most favorite dress in the whole entire world! Thanks mom! And when I twirl it poofs up and twirls beautifully!

Oh yeah and one more thing Zoe says since she can't have a dog she got a dinosaur instead.

And it bit a piece of my jeans off! Ahhhh!

Thanks for following my blog!

At our friends grandparents house

Last week we went to our friend's grandparent's house to help clean their home. Their grandma has cancer and she can't get things done around the house. By the stripes of Jesus she is healed. Please pray for her. It was so much fun. We got to go sled down their driveway and it was very steep. So I hope you enjoy it!

Love,

Tori
