Playtime!!!

Hello all!!! Well, yes, I am finally posting again! Sorry, we've been superbusy. That's a new word I made up. No not really it's just me being lazy not putting a space between the two words:) Well, here's a post on what is called playtime. They are from several different days of playing. Hope you enjoy!


Part of a photo shoot I did with Josh. I got a total of about five pictures:)LOL



Noah


Joshua


Sweet brothers



Our "train". Yes, it resembles a train if you look at it in a certain way. Since we thought it looked like a train we piled in it and pretended to go to France, Antarctica, Jamaica and lots of other fun places. We accumulated stuffed animals as passengers along the way.



A view of the driver's area. We have really wild imaginations, my brothers and I. Note: Presley was not a part of this extremely childish game.



Okay, he's done playing.

Yes, Josh got tired of Noah stealing is toys and me saying "Say cheese!!!" every five seconds. Speaking of Joshua, I just got done kissing his boo-boo and now I need to change his diaper. Oh, the joys of being a big sister.

Love,
Alex

Okay y'all, I totally still have not downloaded the awesome pics from my new camera. I need to do it, I know. So, my childhood playmate and favorite older brother turned fifteen this week!!! I had to laugh as I typed the word childhood seeing as I am only thirteen! And, for those of you who don't know, he is my only older brother; I am not one to play favorites. But yes, playing make-believe and such is wearing off, or would be completely worn off if we didn't love Garrett (who is seven) so much as to play spies or whatever with him. That reminds me of Toy Story 3 where Andy, who is a college student, is talking about how brave his little toy was. It was by far the most realistic movie I've seen:)LOL
So do you like my new background and little extras that you can't read because part of it is cut off?:D I do!!! It's pretty if you just pretend it looks perfect and move on (sort of like my hair). Speaking of my hair, it needs to be cut. Reason #1: I get so hot when I'm outside. Reason #2: the ends are dead. Reason #3: it's hard to brush.
Anyway, we watched the movie Letters to God as a family a few nights ago and Mom and I cried half the movie. No, not just occasionally wiping tears, but like sobbing continuously for the last thirty minutes of the movie. But it's really good, really!
Well, must go, lots to do when you're a Princess like me:)

Love,
Alex

A random post

Hello all!!! Have I mentioned how much I love Saturdays? We made it through the first week without having help here and though it was stressful, we survived. Somehow it's possible to survive if you sleep in by the end of the week!!!

So...as for your update on Peaches (Gabrielle), she has gained a pound and a half and has grown half an inch! Yes, she is starting to get a little bit chubbier:) That's a good thing Bri:) (another nickname for Gabrielle). So, you are in fact wondering where in the world the name "Peaches" came from. Noah actually was the mastermind behind this great name:D He felt her head and decided it was like a peach(fuzzy and round I guess). So...now we like to call her Peaches every once in a while. Oh, and she smiled the other day!!! At Mom! No one else saw it so as to whether it was a real smile, well we don't know. God knows, though. As He does about every little detail. He is so amazing!

So I have found my new two favorite songs. The first is "What do I know of holy" by Addison Road and the second is "The house you're building" by Audrey Assaud. I think that's how you spell her last name. Anyway, I've listened to them a countless number of times on my ipod. Well, maybe not countless, but you know what I mean. Especially those of you who know how much I listen to a song when I like it. My poor friends are always forced to listen to my favorite songs:)

Well, school is going great! I am having so much fun! I say that on a day there is no school:) Kidding, I really am enjoying school.

Love,
Alex

New Camera!!!

Hello everyone!!! Aren't Saturdays wonderful? After a week of school especially:)

So, as the title of this post states, I have a new camera!!! The latter one was broken. I would show you pictures from my new camera if I actually made the time to download them!

Gabrielle is doing great! She grows cuter each and every day! There are so many babies being born now! We just heard our dear friends' blessing arrived not too long ago!!!
Well, that all for now folks!LOL

Love,
Alex

What a blessing!!!

Hello all!!! School went well today. We discovered we need a better map (after the frustration with my geography today):)

I was delighted to see a brand new follower of my blog! I'm always happy to know people are reading my blog!!! Even though it was off to a rocky start!!!

I'd just like to say what a blessing Gran and Papa have been being here! I don't know what we would do without them! They have been such a big help with the laundry, cooking, cleaning, little boys, etc. Thank y'all so much!!! Also, to all the wonderful people who have brought meals!!! Thank you so much!!!

Presley just came in telling me how spectacular his first essay will be. Well at least he's confident in his first essay:D I, for one, am not excited to write about "My Many Virtues". But I'm reminded that "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me" (Phil. 4:13)

Well, lots of fun stuff awaits me to do around this wonderful house. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful amazing family with fun, loving brothers and God-fearing, loving parents! Oh, and the best sister on the face of the earth!!!
