A big Saturday bonfire and a walk.......

So Saturday we went to some friend who had a bunch of wood to burn. Sorry, but i didn't get some pictures of us hauling the wood to the fire but after the work I took pix. =)

Joey putting some left over wood on!

We had it going like 3 times bigger!

a random picture

the big fire was to hot to roast hot dogs so we built a smaller one in a smaller fire pit! :)

the smaller fire pit

the other one got ignored! But after hot dogs the smaller one was ignored and this one was all fired up again!

Then I went for a walk behind their house! It was SO cool! :D here are some snaps!

Okay the first two pictures have nothing to do with a forest but I still took them! :D

Some steps

Here are the forest pictures! :D

Then I found out this new setting on my camera! It was SO cool! :D

me

I love this new setting on my camera! :D

Okay so the next two I didn't put the setting on. :)

Cool, eh?

Looks like a storm was happening, eh? Well actually the weather was perfect! :)

No storm! It actually drizzled for a little bit then it was clear and sunny again!

babysitting

So i'm going to be posting several post today (if I have time).

So the first is of a little girl I babysat last week. :)

Enjoy the pictures!

Orla acting silly! :P lol

The Dora game we played. It's a lot like trouble, and Sorry.

You needed a 6 to get out.

Orla was blue

and I was purple!

Then we decided to play hide-and-seek.

After counting to 1 minute I started looking for her:

She wasn't under the blanket

or in the kitchen

or under the table (which was where I hid)

or under her bed

she wasn't on her bunk bed

or under her covers

but she was behind her door! :D

(She's covering her mouth 'cause she was trying not to laugh! :D haha

Her mom had a beautiful flower set on her table. I took lots of pictures but i'm not going to bombard you with them all so here are two! :)

And some tea cups Orla had. Again I took lots of pix but these two will be the only ones shared!

Orla's brooch

and some writing I did after Orla was in bed!

Hope you enjoyed the pictures! :)

best friends

Best Friends means different things to different people.

Some insist that you can have only one best friend.

Others assert that they have best friends for different aspects of their personalities.

Whatever the precise definition, your best friend is the person who gets you.

They understand who you are and what you are saying.

The greatest distance cannot separate best friends.

You will always feel a kinship with them, and be able to instantly continue the friendship even after not talking for many years.

Bouquet pictures

Here are some pictures I took of a bouquet that my older sister got me for my birthday!

Enjoy! :)

Okay, this one was not part of the bouquet. Its one of my mom's lilac buds! :)

This pink flower was one of my favorites!! It looked like some one had put a bunch of pink tissue paper together! It was SO pretty!

The Yellow one was pretty to! :)

This pink/purple one was so pretty to! There were 6 or 8 of these! :)

And the yellow one again!

And a different yellow one! :) This one for some reason has a little green at the tips! :) It was very cool!

And a stem or branch or I don't know what you'd call these! :D

For some silly reason I did not take a picture of the entire bouquet! :( Or maybe I did and I didn't see the picture! :P

Thanks for the bouquet Chericce! :)

What's New.....

So..I'm sorry for not posting lately!!

Its being rather busy at the Shonwise house. When i'm not doing school, i'm doing chores, or i'm out, or i'm on the phone with friends (especially one in particular cough) and tomorrow we're expecting my grandmother who got down about 2 weeks ago, and has being 'babysitting' my cousins (actually she wasn't really babysitting them 'cause they don't need to be babysat, I think she was just more there to make sure they're clean and that they don't starve! lol :P) but since my aunt and uncle got back Sunday she will be visiting us for a few days, before starting her 7 hour drive home!

So what's new?

Uhh....Jared's birthday is on the 13th. (We CANNOT forget that! He wont let us! Everyday, every hour we're reminded, "my birthday is on the 13th of March. That's a Sunday!")

Anita, and Luke will be leaving on.....I forget! But they come back on Jared's birthday from Weekend in the Word which is in Calgary. Its where a bunch of teenagers and 'older' people get together and study the bible, or they have a speaker talk on something.

Grandma K. is coming down (oh! Already said that)!

Its really starting to warm up here in Kelowna! Actually for the last few days I had to remind myself that its March not July because the weather was so gorgeous!!! :-)

My two favourite seasons are summer and winter, but after a while when there is hardly any snow you just wish that Spring would come! So i'm very happy about the weather! Well at least I was until this morning when I woke up!!! I wasn't at all impressed when I woke up to find that it was snowing this morning! The one thing that really annoys me is when its really nice for a few days then it snows and gets all dreary and cold, then its all warm again and ugh! Its especially not good for the apple trees!!! I think that we're unfortunately not going to get a good season of apples this year. Because we've had several times when it was freezing cold then really warm and then freezing cold and warm and vice versa! Its horrible! :(

Its either warm, or cold!!! Some one has to learn they're seasons here!!! :P

Well that about wraps it up here! I'll post when something new happens! :)

P.S. I just remembered something!

(this is really random but whatever)

My dad and I got my MP3 working FINALLY!!!

It hasn't being working for a while (and when i say a while I mean like over a year) but on Sunday we finally got it working! So yay!!! :D :P

roses are red
