I am really going to try this time...

So I really want to attempt to blog for real, but I am going to keep it real simple to start out so I have a better chance of being successful. They say a picture's worth a thousand words so I am going to keep the writing to a minimum (at least initially) as to not feel too overwhelmed by the whole thing. I think I will try to post a picture or two every few weeks and take it from there. Since it's been forever since I've posted (well, pretty much never actually) here's a family picture to start things off.

Wow! A New Post!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am getting ready to start blogging....starting, VERY SOON! Love and Miss You ALL!!!!  ~ Shara

Phineas and Ferb

Hey everyone! Isaac here to tell everyone about the family's new favorite T.V. show (well, at least the kids favorite T.V. show). The pics above are of a few characters from the show such as Phineas, Ferb, and Perry the Platypus! Check out the show on Disney channel.

I'm going to DC!!! Whoo!

I'm leaving for Washington DC next week with my grandma and aunt! It's going to be so fun and a new experience for me because:

a) It'll be my second time EVER on a plane.

b) I've never been anywhere east of Texas.

c) It's my first trip (not counting Girls' Camp) w/o the sibs.

d) It'll be my longest trip away from home.

I'm sooo excited (and should probably start packing!) I'll try to post during the trip, but you'll get most of the info afterwards. If anybody has some suggestions for me, please post!!! Thanx! :D

Tornado Warning!

We had our first real tornado warning last night, along with a severe thunderstorm warning that they said could produce nickel-size hail and winds 50-60 MPH. It was kind of nerve wracking and a bit scary, but in the end all was fine and it was a learning experience. We watched the doplar radar updates throughout the night (until about 1:30 a.m. when we knew the coast was for sure clear) and the worst of the storm (the funnel itself) was said to have come as close as about one mile away from our house (I think it was in the neighborhood of Abram's school). That's just a little too close for comfort! But in the end, it sounds like just rooftops and cars were damaged. (BTW-This is Shara, and it's my very first post ever! :o) -Yay for me!)

Boooooooorrrrriiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnggggggg!

not much worth blogging about. *sigh*

HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!!!!

Lightning Storm!

Last night, it was so cool! Thunder and lightning went on almost constantly! We sat in the bed of the truck and watched the "show." Then, we felt a couple raindrops. 30 seconds later, it was pouring down like crazy! It was cool because the rain was freezing cold, while the ground was warm from the sun that afternoon! We tried to take pics but I guess you can't capture lightning. :)

Halloween 2007

This is a pic of the family at the Thoughtful House Halloween Party.  It was a lot of fun, they had trick-or-treating at all the offices, a mummy wrapping game (w/ toilet paper), and GFCF cupcakes and cookies (Yummm...)! Best of all, we finally got Lucas to wear a costume!

P.S. Sorry this took sooooooooooooooooooooo long! (this is Emma) btw, it was ME  who did this post! *rolls eyes at Mom*

*Mom rolls eyes back*
