I am so ready for Summer! After today, I am completely done with the rain, and the gray skies. On a happier note, I'm wrapping up school for the year. I finished my reading about a month ago, and I'm on my last writing assignment. Science, and math end in four weeks, and I'm done :)

The other night we walked down to the beach right at sunset. It was a beautiful evening! No rain, no overcast skies, and no freezing temperatures.

I didn't post anything about easter so I thought I would! It turned out to be a beautiful day. We went to a beach here in town, and spent the day barbecuing, hanging out with friends, and playing games of capture the flag, and ultimate frisbee!

A Recap part 1.

2012-03-13T16:42:00.000-07:00

I realized (after several e-mails, and notes) that I haven't blogged in a while... So here is a peek at the last few weeks.About 3 weeks ago, maybe four, Erin, Ms. S , and I decided to traverse out to Ward Lake after church on Sabbath. With no particular goal in mind other than enjoying the nature, and a bit of exercise. We set off on the relatively short hike.

It was one of the few gorgeous days we have, and I stopped to enjoy and absorb the Vitamin D. As I was standing there basking in the sun, snapping photos I soon realized that I was being left behind. I ran to catch up with the others. That probably wasn't the smartest thing I have ever done, being as I had my camera in my hands, but nothing happened and I quickly caught up to the others... We finished our walk physically and mentally refreshed.

Look for Part 2 soon :)

I figured it was time for a new post. :) Blogging was put on the back burner for a while as time is not something I have a lot of. Here's a few pictures I took this week when we went on a little hike. I think that this was Valentine's Day, but anyways it was a beautiful day! I have a hard time finding things to write about so maybe my next post will have more words... :)

I can't believe it's already February. It seems like January just flew by. We had a few days in January were we got to go ice skating. We didn't get to go on our regular place, because just before it froze, it had snowed. Those few days when it freezes, school get set to the side, and skates are dug out of storage.

Temperatures are Dropping

2012-01-17T08:35:00.000-08:00

As of now, it's 2 degrees Fahrenheit, and we have 13 inches of snow. It's pretty cold outside. Mom, Kendall, and I went sledding yesterday. We didn't last very long outside.

aloud: and he shall hear my voice."

Cabin Weekend

2012-01-14T23:01:00.000-08:00

Last weekend we stayed near Willamette Pass! We rented a cabin on the lake, and were planning to go skiing but that didn't work out! So we stayed at the cabin, and played many games of UNO, Mancala, and War. Anyways it was lots of fun, and I would love to do it again sometime :D

I'm not sure why the picture is blurry, but it is... lol Anyways I <3 these people! More Pictures to come!

Hello Houston

2011-12-27T19:46:00.000-08:00

Our trip to GYC has begun. The day we left K-Town it was blowing 65, and raining sideways. Our flight was delayed for two hours, but we made it to Seattle safely. We spent the night there, and then continued on to Houston today. That flight seemed like the longest flight I've ever been on. I'll write more later!

I have quite a bit of catching up to do! Thanksgiving was amazing! We had the Ervins out and Mrs. A, plus all of our family :) It's easier for me to caption photos than to write a big long paragraph...lol so here goes!!! My pictures need edited, but I'm to tired too do it right now, but I will definitely be posting more often :)

Everyone, minus me :)

Whole Wheat Rolls :)

It was also Ms. Shar's Birthday!!!

2011-11-24T23:30:00.000-08:00

I hadn't realized how long it had been since I posted. I've been super busy. We had a great Thanksgiving today! Ervins came out, and Mrs. Alsup came over! Liesel had made a snowboard earlier this month, and it's really cool. So I wanted to make one as well. Grandpa helped me out a ton! I still have a lot to do, but I'm really excited to try it out!

Naha River Hike pt. 1

2011-10-12T16:05:00.000-07:00

Two weeks ago Saturday my family, Liesel, and I took the boat out to Naha Bay. It's about a 20 minute boat ride from the Marina. It was a beautiful day for September, the sun was sparkling off the water! It was just gorgeous!

On the way up it was a uneventful enough hike, and we got to the camp in about an forty minutes. We stopped at there and ate before starting back. I have about 200 pictures but the internet is acting up.

We saw this on the way down! Photo credits go to my mother :) We also saw a teeny tiny bear cub. More on that later :) Have a wonderful evening everyone!

Whale Watching

2011-09-20T22:00:00.000-07:00

Yesterday as I was sitting upstairs looking out on the gloomy day that it was. I saw several boats gathered out on the water. Normally when boats are gathered, there is a pod of whales, or the people on different boats were having a swimming competition. Just teasing. Anyways, as I was looking out the window pondering on who was swimming the fastest :) I saw a tail. A very very large tail. It was the whales! We ran down to the beach and spotted them about 20-30 feet of the shore, it was amazing!

2011-09-06T16:42:00.000-07:00

It's raining cats and dogs outside, and I'm at home sitting in the recliner typing. My sister on the other hand is working hard on her job...outside scrubbing skiffs, fish tables, and fueling boats. (What few boats are out an about in this weather) Mom is making a smoothie for an early dinner, and I just finished sweeping and doing laundry.

We started school last week, and it's going great. I'm doing quite a few online classes such as, math, writing, photography, and science. I'm so excited about this photography class! There isn't very much happening here same old things. Have a great evening, and my Ketchikan friends stay dry!

Herring Cove Bear Watch

2011-07-08T10:21:00.000-07:00

Hello to all my blogger friends! Do you remember me? I'm the one girl who fails to keep her blog up. Since I haven't posted since June, these posts are going to be short and sweet. : D Here goes...

Sunday, the third, we traversed out to Herring Cove to watch the bears. We met our dear friends the Savages there, and proceeded to join the group that was there with their cameras. My camera has never felt so little in its whole short life. Enough said. We waited and waited until finally we spotted a bear out in the marsh. As the cameras where clicking away, S told us to look quietly to the side. Our gazes left the first bear and slowly roamed up the hill behind us. There munching quietly on some grass was a mother bear and her cub. I was a little nervous. There was a bear behind us and a bear in front of us. To my relief and others frustration the bear on the hill turned and walked into the bush.

The spot we were at was getting to crowded so we decided to move. We wandered down the road, and found another clearing. This spotwas amazing compared to the other one. As Mrs. Savage, and I were busily snapping pictures, Bailey, who is nine, stepped forward onto the ground. Well, at least she thought it was the ground. A gasp went up as she fell headlong into the bushes. The first thing that popped out of her mouth was, "Momma, I met a slug." As Mr.Savage pulled her up we were glad to see that the only thing wrong was dirty clothes.

Here are a few of my raw, unedited, photos.

These past few days have been absolutely beautiful! I read the thermometer, and I almost fainted. 69 degrees! Grandma and I worked outside for about an hour this afternoon edging the lawn, pulling/yanking weeds, raking the moss that wouldn't be raked, and swatting pesky mosquitoes. The mosquitoes must have sprouted right when the sun came out. Bug spray won't drive them away, and if you swat one, five more fly into your eyes, ears, and mouth (extra protein).

Sunday night we ate dinner out at Ward Lake with the Hamlins. While we were building the fire some of our other friends were out on the lake kayaking, and they paddled over to say "Hi." After dinner, we hiked around the lake. When we got back the fire hadn't died, and a few pieces of wood later and it was blazing brightly. I was taking pictures with my camera of 4 year old Lyndie and she climbed up into a tree and called, "It's okay, you can take a picture of me,"

Monday morning was Kendall's first day of work. Her job is within walking distance, but for the first morning mom drove her over. I didn't take any pictures of her, but I took some of the docks! Have a beautiful evening everyone.
