Picture Line/Diy



Picture Line


2 nails
wire
your favorite pictures
clothes pins

Hammer two nails horizontally to each as far apart as you like.  Beginning at one nail, twist your wire around until it is secure.  After that, stretch the wire to the other nail.  (Make sure it is very tight.) Take your pictures and simply pin them to the wire with the clothes pins.  If you want to you can take sharpies and design the front of the pins, then if you don't like the designs that you made(like me) you can just turn the pin around so the design is on the back and not noticeable. :)



It is so much fun waking up to these pictures.  They bring back memories of when I was little.  :)  The far left picture is a "Nurse Joanna" badge that my mom made for me when I was 4.  She also made my sister one.  We attached our badges to our shirts when we played doctor.    We were very professional... ;)  The second picture was taken at my 6th birthday party.  The theme of the party was "Barbie", so we had Barbie hats and I even had a Barbie cake that my mom made me.  It was one of the best cakes I have ever had.  In the picture with me is my friend Alyssa.  The third picture is of our sheep that we supposedly had (it was before my time).  I just loved everything about the picture  The forth picture is of me with my headphones and a football.  I was very creative and figured out that my headphone plug fit into the little hole in the football.   I would start singing and act like I was listening to music that came from the football. haha!  The fifth picture is of my brother (Noah)  and I just being goofy.  The sixth picture pretty much explains itself.  We did some crazy things when we were younger...  The last picture is of Noah, Lydia, and Isaac (he is the one that is holding me in the picture).  The date said that I was only 2 weeks old and so Isaac would have only been 3 when he was holding me... Oh my!

Today I woke up to Mary (sister), Cody (brother-in-law), and Seb (nephew) coming in the front door.  They drove all night and are staying here till tomorrow morning when they leave to go to Michigan to visit Rebekah (sister) and Noah (brother).  While they are here we are celebrating my birthday!  It is going to be a very fun day. :)

Little kittens born



cuddling with momma
Sorry for the not-so-good pictures...

About a week ago I was feeding our calves and I heard little meows! I followed the sound and it led me to behind the hay trough.  I was able to see Orchid (the mother.  I'm not weird for naming my cat Orchid, right?...) through the little hole and little "somethings" around her.  I didn't have time to look further so the next day I went down to get a closer look.  Pictures were the only way I could see them because it was too dark where they were and because I couldn't fit more that my arm through the little hole.  So here they are, two orange ones with some white, a tiger, and a dark calico/black.  Aren't they adorable?!?  Hopefully Orchid will move them to a different location soon so I can hold them. :)  Do you have any suggestions for names? because I could use some, I'm running out of names for all of the cats that we have/had.


 This is orchid before having the kittens.  She was such a happy pregnant cat...

Photo Shoot in The Woods

After church on Sunday I had my friend Shelby over to stay the night.  It was so fun!  We watched some "Dick Van Dick", "I Love Lucy", had a bonfire in windy 50 degree weather, ate amazing homemade ice cream, chocolate sauce ( I'll share the recipe the next time we make it), with brownies, and went to our woods.  Here are some pictures from the trip to the woods!

P.S.  Have a good weekend!  We're celebrating my dads birthday tomorrow. :)




embarrassing!!!!
