The other day I my mom showed our family a video on You Tube that when along with the Easter.  I thought it was really good.  Click here if you would like to view it.

What are family did over the last two weeks

      The reason why I have not posted very much for the last two weeks, is because our family has been extremely busy.  We've done three dance performances,  practiced for the performances at least once a day, school, had prayer time (which is something we do every night before we go to bed, it usually takes 1 to 2 hours), and since the weather has been nice, I have played outside every day (2 to 3 hours at least).  That's what our family has been doing.  What has your family been doing over St. Pat's Day? Leave a comment and tell me what you did.

Dreaming of Summer and Watermelon

Our family loves watermelon!  We keep a chart of how many watermelons our family eats each summer.   Another thing our family enjoys is memorizing scripture, click here to enter my sister's memorization challenge.

just an update

 Because I have not posted for awhile, I want to give you an update on how our family is doing:

This is our new baby.  Her name is Mirae. She was born December 19th, my birthday. She weighed nine pounds three ounces.

 

 We also have gone to the Ellis Island and The Statue of Liberty.

                                                       

Camp Barakel was another fun thing we have done since the last time I posted.

This picture is from family camp.

This is Lake Charliviox. We went here after we left Camp Barakel.

Our family has done a few performances also. 

 That about sums it up since my last post (except school work).

Dance Performance at the warton center

Last week Lydia and Haley performed at the Wharton Center. We got there before the performance, to set up which was a mistake because we had to wait for what seemed like a year (it was about 3 hours).  When they finally called us up, it was a lot of fun.  At the end of the performance we all went up on stage and recited a prayer.

My brothers birthday at the Zoo.

On the 17th we went to the Detroit Zoo. We had a lot of fun!  While we were there we saw flamingos, whose necks look like wires, because they bend them in such odd ways. We also saw some lions, we were told by the docent how the lions came to the Detroit zoo. She said, there was an abandoned house near to a school and as the school children walked by they would hear what sounded like a lion roaring. The children told the teachers when they arrived at school, but no one would believe them. After a couple weeks of the children continuing to insist that they were still hearing lions roaring, somebody called the police, who checked out the house.  They found that some drug dealers were using the abandoned house as their hideout and had a pair of lions there to scare people away. So that's the story of how the Detroit zoo got two of their lions, believe it or not! Unfortunately we forgot to take any pictures of the lions, but there are many other pictures below.

Here are some pictures of my brothers birthday at the Zoo.

Isn't the butterfly pretty?
