A Family In Christ

I love Pinterest!! :) There's a lot of fun things on it! :) I had some fun this morning. ;) Cute!!!!!!    Yup.  This is so true!!!!!! :) ;)

I am now sitting in the comfy computer chair with my new penguin PJ's and gray sweater with blue sparkly letters, and wishing EVERYONE a merry Christmas, and a happy new year!!!!!! :) Opening presents was very hectic this morning! It was messy, noisy, and full of laughter as dad tried on his funny slippers. :) I got two of my FAVORITE movies, God's Not Dead, and, Do You Believe. :) I love both of them. :) Our Christmas tradition, is that we wake up, wait for everyone to assemble in the living room, race to get our stockings, open them with the whole family, then we have breakfast of cinnamon rolls and orange juice, then assemble again in the living room, and start handing out presents one by one. :) It gets very messy. Oh, and a lot of the kids stay in their pajamas for a while. :) I am still in mine! :)   MERRY  CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!! :)  :) 

Mom found this group of singers called Pentatonix. They are REALLY good!! My favorite song that they sing is 'Mary Did You Know.'     Wishing Merry Christmas's to all those who view my blog!!!! :) Happy Holidays!!!! :)

I found this video on a friends Google+ page. It's really cool!!! :)  I'm not sure where this was though. :/ I'd certainly like to go sometime! :) Although, I get kind of nervous when there's a bunch of thick heavy rock hanging over me! :( Like, a cave! :/ Anyway!!! :) It sounds pretty cool!!!!! :)

  I have funny little siblings! :) Here are some pretty funny pics of random things including the kids. :) This is totally all me!!!! I do this all the time in my room!!!!! :)  Photo credit goes to my older sister! :)  This is my younger brother when he was a baby. :) And that's one of the dogs we used to have. ;)  If anybody doesn't know who this is, it's Edmund on the set of... I think 'Prince Caspian'  Messy faces run in the family! ;)

This is SO true!!!  Is there anyone else who can relate to this? ;)                                  THIS.... is me. If anyone's been wondering what I'm like... this is pretty much me! ;) :) I found some really cool shirts on Amazon! I love Amazon! They have a lot of cool 'Christian' t-shirts! ;)  Isn't that true? ;) I love t-shirts!!! :)

I've been flipping through my pictures, and I found a really cute one of my friend on a way to a birthday party that we were invited to. :)  It is very blurry because we were in a moving van, (not a 'moving van', but a van that was moving on the road) But, she's still cute! ;) 

Here's a quiz I made about myself. :) If you want to make one to, it's completely free!!! And lot's of fun! ;)    Here ya go!! :)   http://www.quizyourfriends.com/take-quiz.php?id=1511300027495770&pg&   Have fun! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!! :)

We are beginning our Christmas preparations!!! We (my family) are about to leave... oh! Gota go!!! I'm back!!! It might not seem like it, but, I'm typing this quite a while after I said that I had to go. Anyway, we went to get our Christmas tree. It's all decorated and in the living room coroner. We are going to put up our nut crackers tomorrow. :) 27 more days till Christmas, and... I always try to give everyone in my family presents, but, I have no money right now, so, I'm trying to hand make a lot of things. :/ The parade yesterday was... VERY, VERY, VERY, COLD!!!!! :( My fingers were, here, imagine that it is a cold morning, and your hand's are in a faucet of cold water out side, but, imagine that ten times colder, THAT is what my fingers felt like!!!! I was dressed warmly, but I was still shivering. :( Other than the cold, the parade was amazing!!! I've never seen so many people together at one time!!! The street was packed!!!!!!! It was great seeing some o...

Hiya!!!! :) I hope ya'll had a good thanksgiving! I know we did. We invited our pastors family over. It was a lot of fun. We played pictionary. It is the funniest game I have ever played!!!!!!! :) Then we played a bit of ping-pong, then stuffed ourselves full of... oh boy, this could be a long list... turkey, ham, mashed potatoes-and-gravy, green beans and bacon, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, and... a lot more stuff that I can't remember!!! :) It all was SOOOOO good!!!!! :) Now there is only 28 more days till Christmas!!!! :) I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) The band I play in is playing in a parade this afternoon. I got to watch last year, or, was it the year before? :/ 'I'm so sorry! Ya see, I suffer from short term memory loss!' Anyone know what that's from? ;) Have lots of fun with your Christmas preparations!!!!!!!!! :)

Howdy ya'll!!!!! :) I was thinking about saying thanks. Ya know how, sometimes, you say 'thank you' it's kind of almost automatic. O_o Well, I know it's kind of like that for me, I don't know about other people, but it's that way for me sometimes. Anyway, we know, that our parents taught us to say thank you to be polite, so that's why we do it. But do we really mean it? We should be thankful for every thing. A while ago, my mom and I were outside talking. She had been reading her Bible, when she read the verse that says to be thankful in every thing. I don't really remember what she said, but something like... 'even when the vacuum is full?' Or something like that. Yes. Even when the car breaks down in the middle of the road. You can be thankful that the reason your sitting in the middle of the road NOT because you got in a wreck!!! :) Play the glad game from Pollyanna. :) When... hmm... maybe you can think of some more things like that. :) ...

I found a picture of the very first big airsoft war that I went to. Here it is!!!!!!!! :) I am... Hmm... do you see the cool lookin' girl on the right of the pic in the back row, with the blue bandanna? Oh, that's not me. :( Nuts! ;P I am the one in the brown jacket on her left, your right. :) (Hey, A.J. you better be nice to me, 'cause I'm being nice to you!) ;) I really hope there will be another war soon!!!! If you've never had an airsoft war before, I would suggest that you have, or go to one soon!!! They are loads of fun!!!!!! :)

I leaned about this really cool thing called IMB (International Mission Board) And, I found this one opportunity to be a missionary to those who are interested in China. Here's a link. http://www.imbstudents.org/programs/f2f/ProjectDetail_F2F.aspx?proj=111534#.Vk6gQHarTIX It's where you teach kids how to speak English, and teach them the Gospel. :) I really like kid's and teaching kid's, throw that in together, with teaching the Gospel also, it probably makes a pretty good batch of cookies! ;)

I cant wait till Christmas!!!! Only thirty-eight days!!!! I have been decorating my little space upstairs. I have been threading cotton balls with a needle and thread to make it look like snow. On some of them I'll add a paper snowflake on the bottom, and I'll put some gold glitter on it also to make it sparkle when they turn toward the light. :) I also made a wreathe out of paper and put that on the door. I'm not quite don making snow yet, but I'll finish soon!!! :) I love the winter season!!!!! It's so cheery and happy! (And cold!) I really hope we get snow this year!!!! My favorite Christmas songs are, The First Noel, (because my middle name is Noelle) ;) And Carol Of The Bells. :) I like the Piano guys version also. :)      :) Merry (EARLY) CHRIST-mas!!! ;) Happy Thanks giving. :)

A family that we know from church has a few boys that make some really cool short movies. I've watched a lot, and, pretty much laughed my head off at every single one of them! :) They are really funny!!! :) Here's one of them. :)   This is so funny I nearly died!!!!! ;) Have fun! :)

I FINISHED!!!!!!!!! I have finally finished my shoe-box!!! For those who don't know what I'm talking about, our church, every year, will pass out empty shoe-boxes. People will take them if they want to, pick an age of child that they want to shop for, and then stuff it full of things that that age of child will like. Then, the boxes are sent off to different country's to kids all over the world. It's called Operation Christmas Child. Here's a link to their website.   http://www.samaritanspurse.org/ I really enjoy filling the boxes so full that it's hard to close them!!!! :) I did a girl with the age of 10-14. It's a lot of fun to do. I would encourage everyone to do this!!! Bringing joy to kids who don't get Christmas presents is amazing. Even if you can't be there to see the child opening it, you can still envision the child's great big smile. :) That is often what I think about before I fall asleep at night. It makes me smile!! :)    

I LOOOOOVVVVEEEEE this!!!!! ;) :) How true is that! (That was a statement, not a question. Although it could be one if you want it to be!) ;) Gotta run! I'm baking cookies. :)

Another new favorite movie!!!!!! ;) If you're thinking 'Jess, do you just sit around watching new movies all day?' No, no, I don't! ;) I've been wanting to watch this one for a LOONG time! :) It's compleatly clean and doesn't need a filter! :) And...     Tada!!! It's pretty great huh?I'm serious people!!!! Watch it! It will keep you laughing!!!!! Even my older (obnoxious) ;) brother, before I had even watched it, was saying that is was probably really lame. He watched it, and is now saying that we need to buy it! ;) (I was half-joking when I said he was obnoxious!) ;) I'll say it one more time, WATCH IT!!!! ;)

I like it!!!! :) ;)  TRUTH!!! :)

Fall weather has finally arrived!!!!!!! :) Yesterday it poured most of the time, but it was perfect to feel like fall! :) I saw some really cute fall outfits on pintrest. I'll share. :)  Some of these outfits could use a little moderation. But they are still pretty cute! :)  Green's and browns. :) Love it! :)  And they might look a little christmasy at times. :/ But it's just because I like them. :)   This is my favorite chirstmas outfit! :)  Anne of Green Gables. Anyone remember which book it is? :)  A fall bucket list! What a good idea!! :)  Little pumpins!!!!!!!!! :) ;) Hope ya'll enjoy the fall weather! :) And don't forget to go to the pumpkin patch!!! I would recomend Bauman Farms. it's somwhere in... salem? Maybe? :/ I don't really know. It is a great pumpkin patch!!! :) Lot's of fun stuff to do! :) Including REAAAALLLLLLLY yummy apple cider doughnuts!!!!! ;)

I'm writing a new story! Again. ;) I have several story's know that aren't finished. But I keep on getting new ideas and for new books and I don't want to forget them, so I just start a new story! :) Here is a sample of my newest. BLACK or WHITE? "Ah!!!!" Craven let out a fierce yell as his sword slashed at his opponent. The two fighters recovered and circled each other slowly, looking for a new opening to strike while the other was unguarded for a moment. Their swords clashed together again. Steel meeting steel. Grinding into each other. This time, Craven brought his sword to the left and down, pushing the other toward the ground, then quickly countered by following the momentum with a quick spin to his left. This would be the end of his opponent if he didn't do something. With his sword in his right hand and his left empty, he swung his left foot out tripping the man and used his left hand to press his head down, all in a split second. The sword swi...

 

Only have time to do a short post. I was going through my file of pictures, when I found this one. This is the BEST picture I have seen so far!! :) It makes me smile! :)  Isn't this great? I like the guys faces around them! :) Pricless!!!!!! Thankyou for giving your all over there!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) (In case you haven't noticed, I like smily faces) ;) :)

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOOOOOVVVVEEE, to read!!!!! But only if it is a good book. I don't like reading bad books! ;) Here are some of my favorite books. :)   The Homelander series. :)                  I love all these books! Including... The grand finale...    These books are great! I would recomend them to a lot of people! :) There are a lot more of the Redwall books, but I don't think all of them would fit in my blog post. ;) (I think there's twenty of them) :)
