HEAR YE, HEAR YE, GET THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS RIGHT HERE!

LUKE 1:26-38 of the Bible tells the birth of Jesus foretold. LUKE 2:1-20 tells of Jesus's holy and miraculous birth are truly the story of what Christmas is all about. Read and re-read thees passages over the Christmas holiday.Try to tell at least one person this holiday season. And if you really just can't do it for different reasons, I mean there's always your brother or sister. I know they might not know it, but maybe they haven't taken it to heart yet, or maybe it could be a reminder to them that it isn't the presents and it isn't the rush, it's this story. I mean there wouldn't be anything to celebrate if He hadn't been born in the first place, right? But if they have heard it and believe it, it could just be practice for next year, right?


Any way I hope you have the merriest of all Christmas!

I told you that I would probably post more today.

While we went over to a friend's house Jack made Christmas cookies. This is the ,"Iron Chef Jack", pose. Oh, and by the way, the cookies were good Jack.

Guess what? I will absolutely, whereas I had my doubts before, will write more often. How do I know this? Because I am writing to you on a new laptop! Oh, and not just any new laptop no, no it's MY NEW LAPTOP! I can honestly tell you I could not breath last night, I mean, I had to use my inhaler I got sooooo siked.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

and I'll be in touch with you very soon, like maybe even today.

Nick has taken hockey for a while now and he LOVES it. The place he takes hockey at has free-skate or public skate. Sometimes we go and skate around. This is a picture of our fist free-skate. I'm not very good yet but Nick is, and Jack's pretty good.

And bye the way, I just wanted to point out that my blog is on my mom's acount, so it says that she published this post. She did not publish this post. I did. Me, Katie Stevens, wrote this post!!

Thank You.

I just got off the library web site, my favorite web site! ( Besides my blog, of course.) My new 'thing', is to read NANCY DREW books. I read about 3/4 of the book at the least every day.

Instead of going into the library to get them, I put them on hold, then go and pick them up. It's because our library usually dosn't have the book I'm looking for so it has to be transfered.

I put some nancys on hold, but mostly got crochet books.

I'll show you what I come up with in a few days, as soon as I actually get the books.

And will also do the devotion on friday or saturday.
Bye!

Back in Business

CAN YOU SPOT THE GOPHER? HE'S THE FAT ONE ON THE GRASS NEXT TO THE SIDE-WALK.





I AM SOOOOOOOOO SORRY, that this is the first time I have written in months. But I'm going to try to write a lot more.

So we ,( Nick, Jack and I ) went to my grandparents for 6 or 7 days last week. On the way there I was so mad at my self for not changing the batteries in my camera, because the trees were as post-card perfect. So I made sure I had fresh ones in my camera on the way back so I could take these awesome photos above, ( 'cause I don't know how to get them below!) I'll show you loads more later; and do devotion. I promise.

TOT DO TODAY- DEVOTION!

We have company again I'm so sorry that I have'nt done it. I feel so bad.

Hey guys, I've been really busy and I'm really sorry about every thing, not being able to update or do the devotion for this week. we've been really busy and were out of town this weekend. I've so busy that I've not had time to get on here to tell you that I wasn't going to be able to do devotion last week!


Well I'll try to do the devotion soon.

Party on!

Last night was my b'day party and it went pretty well. Every one had lots of fun and made lots of cupcakes.

I'll try to get more pictures of Ella on here soon, we're really busy and every thing. Tomorrow is my party! I'm really excited.

Ella and my aunt are in the house!

Ella and my aunt came back with us! Yay!

HAMSTER

So I've found a pet that I would, that I would, well nothing comes to mind, but I'm dying for a hamster. Yes I want a pet hamster. And if I save up my money it won't be long before I can get one. My mom wants to get one just as bad as I do, but my dad is still thinking on it, for responsibility reasons. You can't blame him, I mean, I've never owned a pet of my own before, but I think I'll get my hamster.

Horaay!

Ok, so my b'day party is this weekend and I'm so EXCITED! We are going to have so much fun!

Birthdays all around!

Ok, so today is the last day that we have the girls here and I will try to very, very soon post the pictures of the things that we made this week. Ok (I like to use that word allot) I told you that we are going to my Aunt's house for Ella's B'day party and so we are leaving right now to go. And guess what! It'll be my b'day in 4 days! And me and Ella are basically having the same kind of b'day. Cupcake. They'll be just eating them at her b'day and we'll be making decorating them! ( I hope you see this Angel!) That's my friend that comments allot on my blog.

Ha ha ha! Ha!

We got back with the girls a few minutes ago and we're all settled in. I 'll use Nick's camera if I have to, but I will get pictures. I promise.<<< ( and if I on accidently 4get, no 1 can hold me up to it! Ha! Ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!)

I'm running out of luck

I just decided to try on the winter set (1st post) that I crochet ( without a doll in the house) and it doesn't fit. : I

So Sad

We still don't have any pictures and I wish I had my camera. : [

Ok, so now we're at the girls house and I made this really super cute pencil holder. It's crocheted and it has hot pink and light pink stripes. So we get here and I take out the camera to take a picture to post it and the screen is black and white, and it's like when your TV is on the channel that doesn't exist and makes that 10 times louder than the volume will go kind of sound; well the screen looked like that, but it didn't make that noise. (Thank heavens!) But it doesn't feel like the screen is broken. So I go to my dad and he says that it's the crystals inside the screen! So now I have a broken camera! So maybe this week I'll have a post on how much fun it was to take apart a digital camera! Ha ha ha!

IT'S GUS! AGAIN.

This is a better picture of Gus as a big boy.

Cupcake Invitation

This is a very cute cupcake! Definitely not edible though! It's a invitation and it couldn't be easier. What you do is you take a 2 and 3/4 by 2 and 5/8 inch piece of paper for the bottom of the cupcake and a 4 by 2 and 1/4 oval for the top. Out of the same material as the bottom of the cupcake and cut 1 side with decorative scissors. For decoration use felt circle or pop-dot sticker. And............

??Huh?? /: 0

Jack, by happenstance found my camera and there's a lot of pictures of his room and weird random stuff; but this is really actually kinda good. So this is my Dad!

Adios Amigos!

Ok! wer'e leaving to see the girls! Bye!

Pictures and Doodles

Ok. Here are some pictures of drawings and doodles that I have drawn.

This picture was drawn to give to one of my great grandmothers; but as you can see, it never made it to her house.

This girl was created by me cutting out a girl from a coloring book in this pose and laying her down on a piece of paper and tracing her. Then what I did was I drew in the face and did the hair the way I wanted to do it and.......... the result to the right is pretty good!

This is one that I did on the road, not sure if it's the same time as the one above ^ ; but it is from on the road. This one is made from circles of fabric glued together.

This is another one of the drawings I did in the car that time. Her name is Gigi.

I went through a phase a long time ago that one of the only things that I wanted to do was draw characters ( mostly ballerinas) in pen and marker. And this was one of them.

This on I drew when I was at my grandparents; not the ones I spent the past week with, no the other grandparents. Anyway, she's just kinda a fancy doodle.

This a cute fairy that I'm writing a story about; that is, if I can ever find the piece of paper that I started to write it on. I'll post it when I finish.

I just yesterday figured out that you could rotate pictures, this was going to go with the fourth of July post. But since that didn't happen, I decided to show it in here.

I was looking at a magazine and it had a drawing of a cartoon girl and I copied it, but my mom said that it looked to much like it to put it on here. So I took the features of the girl that I liked and did it as a different girl........

This is one I drew from inspiration from a cup at a pizza place. When I got home I drew her, and I said it was good.

RARE!!!!!!!

This is so rare! Ok, so I was going down stairs and I see them in there so I quickly push the button down half-way on my camera and then peek it around the wall and press it down the rest of the way and - TADA!!!!!

GUS

This is Gus as a big boy. ( I took this photo today.)

This is Jack, my youngest brother. Nick is the middle child. Jack is 4, and Nick is 9. Jack is playing some video game, taking the time to smile. With Nick that's impossible. As soon as you pull out a camera and aim it his way he will do anything to stop you; pull something over his head, your head, anything. Anyway, isn't he CUTE!

Happy 3 days until the 4th! We are planning on going to our friend's house that live about 3 hours away from us for the 4th. They have two little girls: one 8, one 5. We are going to bring them back with us and they are going to spend the week with us, just them. The week is going to be filled with crafts, giggles, and fun. I will definitely take TONS of pictures to show you. I am so excited! Fireworks, enjoyable trip, FUN FUN FUN!!! And on Thursday we take them back, on our way to Ella's! The fun never ends!!!

This is our dog, Gus, when he was a puppy.

This is my cousin Ella, isn't she cute?! Her birthday is three days before mine.

This year we are going to her house for her birthday. Then they, ( she & her mom ) are coming back with us from their house and spending the next week with us. Therefore being with us for my B'day & B'day party.

COURAGE. It's a word we're all familiar with. We all think that we can have it down pat when we need to, but it definitely isn't that easy. When it comes time to step up to the plate you can't do it. When that happens, remember Esther.

She was placed by God to be Queen to King Xerxes for a reason. She had to step up and tell the King that the Jews were in trouble, when this could have gotten her killed. She asked God for the courage to get the job done. In the same way you have to ask God for the courage to get the job done. So ask God for the courage that you need , and remember how much God granted Esther.

For more on the story of Esther go to the book of Esther in the Bible.

I've Got My Own Blog!

This week we were at my grandparents house and this is the result, an American Girl, 18 inch doll winter set. Not very useful right now in almost July, but I'm not done yet, and it'll take time, I'm still going to make a vest out the brown yarn, still that's just what I'm planning on, but I'll let you know if that happens. Also I'll sew up a shirt and pants to go with it, not crochet. But anyway, aren't they cute! There's a toboggan, a pair of gloves, a scarf, a pair of shoes, and a stuffed toy.
