-Beach Birthday-

Last week, the S. family invited our family to spend two days with them at "Rockaway Beach" on the Coast in a lovely Beach House for Mrs. S's birthday. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the fellowship. Thank you S. Family!!

Christmas Time!

Hello Everyone!

Last week our family took a quick trip up the mountain, down a pass, a quick hike, and finally we cut down our Christmas tree! We've had no snow this winter so we were pretty excited to see so much snow! Below are a few of my favorite pictures and then a slide show of most of the pictures taken.

Once getting the car De-De was pretty cold... Can you tell?

It's so amazing to see the half frozen water falls. Daddy stopped the car for me two times to take a picture of them. This was the best:
Here is another one. We all liked this one so much that we...


...all climbed up it! The ice was very slippery, but the middle part of the fall thankfully had shallow water.

10 Things I Learned Through Raising Turkeys

It's almost hard to imagine that the delicious looking meat you see in the picture was actually running around in our yard a few months ago!



One of my dreams was to raise my own turkey for Thanksgiving dinner... Finally around April 2009 I asked my Daddy if I could raise turkeys this year. He said yes!



Somethings I learned about turkeys were:



1) When they get mad at you they turn red.

2) They are excellent weed eaters.

3) They like to take baths in their drinking water.

4) They eat a TON of food & drink LOTS of water.

5) They die easily.

6) They are easy to catch (once you get them cornered).

7) Unlike roosters, toms are not mean.

8) They like to eat grass.

9) Turkeys and rainy days do not mix.

10) If they decide to... they may never do a "turkey gobble" (or at least mine never did)...

I loved raising turkeys and I hope to raise more and sell some next year!

A Violin Recital!

After many an hour of practice, practice, and PRACTICE! I finally was able to perform in this year's violin recital with my wonderful violin teacher Elizabeth Knopp! We played the first movement from Concerto for Two Violins in D minor by J.S. Bach.

I hope you enjoy the pictures as much I enjoy your enjoyment of viewing these enjoyable pictures! (By the way: A big round of applause to Shiloh for taking all these pictures-except for the first one!)

------------------------

A few weeks before the recital Eden snapped this picture of me.

The day is finally here!

Here Elizabeth and I are rehearsing, while Jordan waits... and waits...
Now, the real thing! Taking our bow.
And GO!!!
Note: I'm probably smiling because I know that Jordan and I made cookies the day before... and well, you know what that means!

Did I get a speeding ticket from playing this?!

My great accompanist Jordan. (I sure had to pay a lot to have him play with me!)

Jordan, Me, and Elizabeth.

My teacher and I. Thank you for being such an amazing teacher, Elizabeth!

Jordan and Judah-looking dapper!

My wonderful family. It's because of them and Jesus Christ that it is possible for me to take lessons! I love you all!

And the final bow!!! (I just had to do my special flourish to acknowledge Jordan!)

Note by Jordan: Regardless of paying me a lot of money to play, it must be noted that Bethany threatened to fire me, even to the day of!!
