Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in GOD's sight.

Lately

I have been taking pictures like never before.

002

010

I have been babysitting non-stop.

094

And to answer your question, no they do not usually wear Christmas dresses and blue socks with a white dress. They were playing dress-up. :)

I love this shot!

216

These kids are so cute, it’s unbelievable!

I have been delivering/eating Girl Scout cookies.

016

No I am not a girl scout, London is. Just thought I’d clear that up.

It snowed! Now yes, living in Minnesota I should expect tons and tons of snow, which we have been lucky enough not to have as much as last year, but I am not a fan of stupid drivers or snow plows at 4am. Oh well.

025

I went to Target! <3 My 3rd home.

026

London had soccer “boot camp”.

041

038

067

047

Sometimes I like to watch. Other times I like to take pictures of me :) or my surroundings.

068

You may wonder how I can watch her play soccer, in Minnesota, in the winter, without freezing. Well, it’s in a dome type thing that is blown up and keeps most of the cold out, but sometimes I do wear my jacket.

Skyping

dance

This is my friend, Berit. She lives pretty much in my backyard but we don’t get together much but we have Skyped a couple times lately!

happy

We have so much fun and laugh a lot!

This was Berit’s reaction when she found out that there was a second Justin Bieber movie… :)

 

What have you been up to lately? Also, a huge thank you to all who commented on my last post! That is the most comments I have ever gotten that I remember of! Can we get that again on this post? haha Also, I realized I didn’t put every followers name on the list in the last post, for some reason Blogger didn’t show me the names of all of the followers the first time, so I apologize! Hope you all have a fantastic week! :)

Cake Pops

Have you heard of cake pops? If your on Pinterest I know you have! It's pretty much a ball of cake, covered in icing and some sort of a topping. Well, since I'm homeschooled and don't do the whole bring treats to school deal, I thought it'd be fun to make some and bring them to church! This was my very first time making them and well just say, it was a learning experience. I didn't take many pictures of the process and the couple I did were on my iPhone so it's not amazing quality but it works.

So my mom got this donut maker thing for Christmas



This is the picture off of the box. It's by the brand Bella. It worked great and I would recommend it! So you get your recipe and bake.



It gets a little messy, so be prepared! I did the whole process and it felt like it took forEVER! But in the end, they were cute.



Watch ya think? Have you made cake pops??

50 MM

001

A couple days ago I bought my moms 50 millimeter lens! I was so happy!! I’ve wanted a new lens for a long, long time and finally my dreams came true. ;)

004

I love the focus on this thing! Especially on the picture above, how you can clearly see the tape but everything else is a blur.

014

And this one! Don’t even get me started… It’s amazing!! I did absoltely no editing to this (or any of this pictures for that matter) and it just, I don’t know. I want to take pictures all the time now!

008

I love this one too! How it blurs my phone but focuses on my school planner. Ah-maz-ing.

016

And this one.. How my camera strap is so clear but our floors just look like a brown back round.

Lovin’ this! What’s your favorite picture? What lens do you use the most?

Thanks for reading!!

Computer pictures- Post 2

The other day I did a post with some pictures that I found on our laptops. Well, I didn’t finish with all the pictures I wanted to but needed to post so thought I would do this in two or three posts (we have a lot of pictures!).


The very last picture I said that I was not a very serious person

It’s true. PS: Don’t mind my Einstein hair going on here… Not sure what was happening. Anywho, I haven’t done one photo shoot with my mom without taking one weird faced picture… It’s just, me!


Another thing I can almost guarantee you have read about on my blog is my sister.


Although sometimes she can get on my nerves.

“Peeing myself”

That’s literally how I felt today when I was looking threw some of our old pictures! Let’s share shall we? :)

Some things have never changed with me.. I have always had brown hair, blue eyes, and

Easter 2005 018

Tried to be the center of attention, Easter 2005.

My sister, London, has been and will always be

Easter 2005 021

The cutie with the big smile, Easter 2005.

Another thing about me, I’m not always the most stylish

Easter 2005 007

This picture was so funny. Im not sure what I was thinking with the half-fake wig thing there… Jacob’s birthday 2005.

Center of attention, no problem!

Intermission of cuteness, even with a Dora band-aid on her head.

IMG_0463

I danced for 7 years, but rather have been the candy thrower.

And because I have to get off the computer, I’ll end this post with this,

IMG_0031

I have never been a very serious person. :) Also a HUGE thank you to Kiley and my new blog design!!!

And then I thought I’d share a picture of me today just for the fun of it..

Picture 10

Please ignore the fact that I only took about 10 minutes to get ready today and since nobody other than my family is going to see me today, I didn’t really care what I looked like..

And to prove that I am not going bald,
