If you saw me in the back of a police car, what would you think I was there for?
I’m not going to say anything. Just watch it, and leave a comment telling me what you think. For me, I couldn’t stop laughing.
So more of Tim Hawkins…
Okay, here we go. At least there are pictures to keep you occupied during this post. It’s more for me to remember the neat animals I saw here, but I thought you guys might enjoy it, too.
This is a male purple finch named Frito. He visits quite often, and is semi-friendly to the other birds. Frito is a gorgeous bird, and is starting to get used to people watching him. Male purple finches can be identified by their colorful chest and head. Where they got the name ‘purple finches’ is a mystery to me because the chest, head, and back of the male finch are red, not purple. Anyway, the female purple finches are mainly gray and brown.
Angie and Jenny are both house sparrows, along with Sophie who was mentioned before. These birds are practically fearless when facing humans, and as long as we don’t venture to close, they will stay on the feeder during our talking. Both of these sparrows are females. The males have a black stripe that runs half-way down their chest, and auburn colored feathers rather than the grey and brown. They also have a grey patch on their heads.
I have a feeling these are fairly young sparrows. They have a younger look and are smaller next to the full grown sparrows who come by every once and a while.
This is Sheila and Sky. We don’t see much of Sky because he stays in the trees most of the time, which is how he got his name. He stays as close to the sky as possible!
I was very surprised one day when I opened the creaky door that scares every animal off and saw Sheila sitting in the tree staring at me. I had the pleasure of taking pictures of the pretty girl.
Sheila is a very cute squirrel, and she has a very unique way of getting her food. Because of the bird feeders size, the squirrels have a very hard time eating out of it. So Sheila finds her own way to get what she wants.
Step 1: She climbs onto the top of the feeder.
Step 2: Sheila leans as far over as she can without falling off, tipping the bird feeder so that seed falls out.
Step 3: She climbs down the tree and eats the fallen seeds.
All in all, I’ve been very pleased with the animals that I have seen eating out of the bird feeder. I love sitting out on the porch with a good book and watching the birds fly down and have a party in the tree, where I have hung the bird feeder.
Here’s us, well not really. But when I saw this video by Tom Hawkins, I couldn’t help putting it on here. You’ll probably see more of him on here, too. He’s a hilarious Christian comedian.
Anyway, this reminded me so much of our family, there are 9 of us.
Enjoy!
My dad selected last Thursday, yes I know that was a whole week ago, and we found out the news that we’ve been waiting for -Will my dad be flying helicopters or jets?
The answer is…Helicopters!! Yipee! I was so happy, and I happend to be with my friends at volleyball practice so we all had a mini 30 second long party. We were all very happy we were not moving away in a week!
We finally have settled into our new house, what a relief! We have been so busy the last week, I can hardly keep up! But, now we are all comfortable and love the house. The dogs love the ability to run around in the backyard, we havn’t had a fenced-in backyard in a while. So, they are getting lots more exercise, which of course is very good.
Co-op starts up again in less than a month, exciting! We have some really neat classes. There’s Church history, tennis, volleyball, and drama, just to name a few for my age group. I can’t wait to meet back up again with my friends.
Well, that’s all for now!
Well, I’d better fill you in on what going on in my life.
My dad is doing his second-to-last-flight right now, and he selects on Thursday. Translation: He learns what he’s going to fly. Helicopters: We stay here, yay! Jets: We move away, sob. But, I know God knows best. I just hope His plans flow with my desires! 
We are moving to a slightly bigger house this Saturday. It’s a lot closer to my dad’s flight school, and it’s a lot cheaper.
I’ve also gotten into photography lately, I’ve been having a lot of fun with that! You can go here to see my pictures.
Jesse is 6 months old now, and about the largest baby I’ve ever seen! He’s HUGE! His eyes are also the bluest and clearest eyes I’ve ever seen, too!
With me as far as school, homeschool works a little different. I’ll probably be done with high-school in about a year, depending on how hard I work.
Well, that’s the latest scoop!
Yup. That’s what we had, and it was a lot of fun. Thanks to Kim and Jason’s great idea, we had a great hour of fun on Saturday. Well, I had better not spoil any more of the fun, everything is explained in this video I’ve made. Enjoy!
Oh, I accidentally in the credits said ‘Themselve’ instead of ‘Themselves’, but it would have taken it forever to upload again and I didn’t feel like waiting.

For the last 2 weeks my friends Katie, Lizzy, and I have been trying to get together to get some pictures of each other. Eventually, we scheduled a day to do it – Today, June 25th.
It ended up being Lizzy, Josh, and their younger sister, Anna, and Jessica, Katie, Danny, and their 5 younger sisters. I took TONS of pictures! Katie brought their camera, so they took some pictures, too. But, in between the pictures, there was lots of laughter…and funny un-known shots! Like this…
Don’t ask me what was going on here, but apparently Katie was taking break time to teach her older sister and Lizzy some of her kung-fu magic.
Or perhaps this…

Tri Pod Head???
See the pictures I got at Candid Kait!
Urrgg! Sorry, but my banner isn’t coming up. Hopefully it’ll be back up soon!
Webhero’s gonna drive me mad…
