Lyssa's Seven Ways to Not Be Bored On a Long Car Ride

2008-12-08T07:49:00.000-08:00

Hey, hey, hey! I'm back from my vacation and it was soooooooooooooo much fun! Don't forget to check out the pictures from it on my sister's blog! :) Anywho, on this trip, we did a lot of driving, ten hours there and ten hours back so I've come back with some new found knowledge that I'd like to share with you. ;)

Lyssa's Seven Ways to Not Be Bored On a Long Car Ride!

1. Read a good book--I chose Artemis Fowl

2. Watch a few movies--I watched Pride and Prejudice two times on my ipod

3. Play a game--I played Authors with my cousins

4. Listen to music--I listened to some of the old music on my ipod that I haven't listened to for a long time

5. Take a nap--That's basically what I did half the time ;)

6. Draw--I drew a teddy bear :D

7. Eat--Pringles and Cheetos, what would we do without them?

Well, that's pretty much it, thanks for checking in!

Black Friday

2008-11-29T07:42:00.000-08:00

Okay so Katelyn and I did some Black Friday shopping yesterday and it was insane. We got up at 4:30 and headed out to Wal Mart which opened at 5:00. It was a mad house. People were whipping their new HD tvs around corners, there was a line wrapped around the electronic section to get video games, and you couldn't find a check out line with less than seven people in it--it was crazy.

Then we went to Target and everything changed. Inside the store, everything was neat and organized, you could actually find someone who worked there, and there wasn't an evil smiley face looking down at you everywhere you turned.

Yes, Wal Mart has better prices, but there's also a better chance that you'll get attacked by someone who wants your copy of Guitar Hero for twenty dollars cheaper. Especially on Black Friday, it can be a little scary. ;)

So yeah, it was insane but we got a lot of good deals and it was a lot of fun hanging out with my sister. :)

Weird Christmas Trees

2008-11-17T12:24:00.000-08:00

It's only 38 more days until Christmas!!! Christmas is my favorite time of year and I love celebrating Jesus' birth with my family. Another thing I love about Christmas is putting up the Christmas tree. While I'm a fan of a good, old fashioned Christmas tree, I found some pretty weird Christmas trees online and I thought that I'd post them on my blog because they're that amazing. :)

The Upside Down Christmas Tree

The Underwater Christmas Tree

The Charlie Brown Christmas Tree!!!

The Mountain Dew Christmas Tree

The We-Don't-Have-Enough-Money-To-Buy-A-Tree-So-We-Decorated-This-Shrub Christmas Tree

Church Picnic

2008-10-13T07:53:00.000-07:00

So fall is finally here, I love when the leaves change colors from their vivid green to the subtle colors of autumn and how you can feel the gentle whisper of winter lingering in the crisp fall air and when you can hear the soothing fall breezes play with the branches of the autumn-kissed trees....anyway, we had a picnic after church last Sunday. Here are some pictures. ;)

Okay, so, Sarah's birthday was a couple of months ago but we got to celebrate her birthday with her this weekend. We went to the Davis' time share by the beach and stayed there for a couple of days.

She and her family moved to Washington state five years ago and she and I have kept in touch. She came and visited us for a week a couple of weeks ago so I just thought I'd put up some pictures. Thanks, Kepe, for putting up with us for a week! LOL

Tori's Most Favorite Things

2008-09-15T15:23:00.000-07:00

Hello, all, today on my blog I'm featuring Tori Slingo and her most favorite things. So here they are in Tori's own words...

Being with friends and my family.

Holding babies (especially when they fall asleep on you - that's such a wonderful feeling!)

Listening to and playing music (You know, screeching on the violin, strumming 6 chords on the guitar, and playing piano...)

Singing! It's always fun to play worship songs on the piano and sing along, sing really bad opera while doing the dishes, go for a jog and then come back and hop in the shower and sing. And the best one: Drive around, singing at the top of your lungs, because no one is there to tell you that you're making them go deaf!

Playing soccer (even though I can be a total wimp sometimes...)

Laughing so hard my stomach hurts and I fall on the floor and can't get up

Having a really good devotional time and drawing near to God and feeling refreshed and encouraged by Him

Watching some of my favorite movies, such as Emma, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Facing the Giants (thought I'd throw that last one in amidst the chick flicks; but PLEASE know that I'm NOT a fan of football - I just like the movie and its message :-)

Photography (especially taking still-life pictures in macro focus)

Food! Especially anything with cheese or sugar! I know, you're all marveling at what a healthy diet I have... :-)

Organizing my closet - seriously!

Just being my crazy, weirdo self around little kids who don't care and join in on the fun

Wandering around craft and home decor stores and imagining all the fun stuff I could do with the things I see

Seeing words spelled "the British way" (Like "colour," "favourite," etc.)

Clear sunny days with blue skies and big white puffy clouds - those kinds of days make me want to fly! (Yes, I'm weird.)

Thanks, Tori, for sharing your most favorite things! :)

My Most Favorite Things

2008-09-07T06:02:00.001-07:00

Thanks, Kaylee, for giving me this great idea. Every week I'm going to try to feature someone's most favorite things, starting with me. :) Here are some of my most favorite things...

Converse. They're amazing. In or out, I'll always wear them.

Mario is the coolest goomba-smashing, bowser-defeating, overall-wearing plumber around. What can I say? He's crazy cool.

Epiphone Hollow Body guitars are the most amazing electric guitars on the face of the planet. Come on, you have to admit they're great.

Okay, this is a picture of the inside of my closet. LOL jk! I love Mountain Dew. :)

Okay, you might think that I don't like playing sports very much but that's not necessarily true. I don't like playing sports with balls but I like a lot of different sports like swimming, biking, skateboarding (biking being my favorite.) I also like watching sports on t.v. too, so yeah...

I don't know what I'd do without my ipod, I've superglued and taped it a million times with hopes that it will never die. I've had it for a year and even though it makes strange noises and is held together with glue, I think it'll be around for awhile. ;P
The wii is one of the best inventions ever, I mean lightbulbs and telephones are cool but the wii is cooler.

Okay, one of my most favorite things is definitely music. I love writing it, singing it, playing, listening to it--everything!

The most amazing website ever!!! You should totally check it out.

My most favorite book in the whole world is The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis, I read it when I was eight and I loved it ever since.

The platypus. Nobody likes a platypus. Except me. I think they're cool. ;)

Switchfoot is my favorite band, they're music is amazing and they're really nice.

My very most favorite thing is my Savior.

So that's me, soon I'll have some more posts of other people's most favorite things!

Family Birthday

2008-08-24T20:08:00.000-07:00

I really enjoyed watching the Olympics this year and I know a lot of you have too. But now that it's over, I think about how I'll soon be interested in other things and move on to another hype. As a culture, we always seem to move from hype to hype and we never get the satisfaction that we were made for. A lot of us (including me) try to fill our hearts with sports, music, movies when all we need is God. I'll admit, my interests change so quickly, I can't even keep up with them but I know that I'll always be interested in glorifying God because He lasts forever.

Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.
1 Corinthians 9:25

Last Saturday was the Annual Family Birthday. My great grandma flies down from Chicago to visit every year and we all get together and celebrate our birthdays with her. Here are some pics...

Back to School Beach Party

2008-08-18T06:31:00.000-07:00

Summer is one of the greatest things God created and I'll tell you why. There's no school. There's the beach. There's hanging out with friends. There's staying up late and eating Twizzlers for breakfast. But while there are many great things that can be enjoyed during the summer, there comes a time when summer changes, it's a time when notebooks and rulers go on sale at Wal-Mart and people stop planning beach days and then people start asking you the foreboding question: "So, when do you start school?"

Yes, friends, I started school today. I know a lot of you are starting school today and I just wanted to encourage you. I know I've struggled a lot with not working on school as hard as I should be (I still do) but now I try to think of 1 Corinthians 10:31: 'So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.' This year, I'm ready to do hard things and work hard on my school and not settle for 'just okay.' We can glorify God with our school by not complaining about it, getting it done on time and not procrastinating, doing your work carefully, and starting every school day with praying and reading God's Word. :)

So, we had a Back to School Beach Party last Friday. Here are some pics:

Bring on the Bands '08

2008-08-11T07:12:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone!

I just want to let you all know that Bring on the Bands ’08 is almost here! It’s going to be happening at the SGC church in Daytona and it will start at 7:00 p.m. and go till 11:00. If your band is thinking about playing, make sure you sign up! August 17th is the deadline for your band to sign up. Also, there has to be at least two people in your band and you can play a maximum of two songs. I know a lot of you haven’t decided what songs you will be playing but once you know, please let me or Kaylee know. There’s going to be games, prizes, snacks, music-it’s going to be a crazy fun night! And, I’d like to clear this up, this is not a competition, it’s just a way of glorifying God with music. So, I hope to see you all there! Don’t forget to invite your friends!

God bless,
Lyssa

So, Kaylee and I have been designing some Crimson White t-shirts and we want you to tell us which ones you like best. I know I've heard from some of you but if you could tell me again, that would be great. So, just send me an email or post a comment saying which one you like the best. Thanks!

Hey, guys! I've finally got a new post. I went to a concert on Wednesday with Kaitlyn Tyler and my sister and it was extremely fun.

Dare You To Move

2008-05-14T09:31:00.000-07:00

This is soooo totally awesome!! Okay, so I wasn't watching American Idol last night like I usually do because there was care group and everything, plus I haven't really been watching it the past few weeks because my favorite contestants kept getting voted off. But, I found out this morning that David Cook did the most AWESOME song in the entire world and I wanted to share it with you in case you haven't already seen it. In case you haven't heard, Switchfoot's my favorite band so I was totally freaking out. :) I just wanted to let you know. :D

Oh yeah, 'I Dare You To Move' by Switchfoot is now on itunes' Top 100 songs today, I think they're #64 or something and that's pretty good considering the song is about eight years old. :D Yeah, so I'm pretty happy about it. See ya!

The Biscuit Adventure

2008-05-13T11:13:00.000-07:00

It's been a slow few days, filled with school, school, school, and more school so I haven't had much to post. But, last night I decided to embark on an incredible journey. I made biscuits. Gluten and lactose free biscuits. The recipe was basically the wheat free baking mix, sea salt, honey, and some milk. Okay, I know what you're thinking no wheat + no milk + no sugar = no flavor, but that's where you're wrong. It has almost no flavor. But, with my secret family recipe that I found on the outside of the baking mix box, I knew it would be a success! Or did I? Now you can watch the Great Biscuit Adventure with details and pictures and all of that stuff.

Okay, so this is me with the baking mix. You can just go on to the next one cuz my hair's a mess and I'm wearing a million year-old t-shirt, so just keep scrolling down....

Okay so I started out making a mess, like always. The bag blew up when I opened it, seriously.

Yes, my ipod was the victim of the flour explosion.

Lactose Free Milk. Okay, I just want to let you know that I didn't make these biscuits gluten free and lactose free just because I felt like it, I'm alergic to wheat and I'm lactose intolerant, I'm alergic to some other things but they're not the sort of things you put in biscuits. Well, unless you've ever had cantaloupe flavored biscuits before...

I decided to be a little rebellious with the recipe. It said I had to put yogurt in there. Bleh! Sorry to all you yogurt lovers out there! I put in some extra milk instead. I put in an egg in there too. I also decided to put some lactose free butter in there, to make it taste better.

Okay so, no one laugh at me, but I just found out that the thing on top of the honey is a lid that you cut open and not a gnome's hat. Shows you how smart I am. LOL

They're done!!!!

Yes, I know, they look like cookies, but they sure don't taste like cookies. I don't have a biscuit cutter. If you have one, leave a comment saying that you have one. If no one has a biscuit cutter, I won't feel so bad about it...:)

So yeah, they tasted pretty good if you put some honey on it. So this concludes The Great Biscuit Adventure. Hope you enjoyed it! I'll see you all whenever I see you, I guess. :D

Soccer in Titusville

Hey, I know I'm no good at soccer, but it's so much fun to hang out and watch everyone play. If you've never been to soccer, you should so totally come! Here's some pics...

Last Bio Lab

2008-05-07T12:23:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was our last bio lab, it was really fun. I mean, what could be more fun than looking at the insides of fish and sheep brains? *gagging* Anyway, it was really fun, I'll miss it. I can't wait for chemistry next year, hopefully it won't be as gross as biology...:)

Okay, I was looking through some pictures today and I realized we have a lot of pictures with friends and I just thought I'd put them up. :D Enjoy!

Testing!

2008-05-05T07:07:00.000-07:00

I can't believe this was my last year of testing. :( Katelyn and I have done the testing each year since we were about nine so it's kind of sad that it's over. Here's some pics from 2008 testing.

Happy Sweet Sixteen!

I FINALLY got the pictures up from my birthday party. It took me forever but I figured it out at long last. :D

Switchfoot Concert!

2008-04-29T14:51:00.000-07:00

Okay so, Switchfoot is my favorite band. I heard that they were coming to FL to do a concert in West Palm Beach. I tried to get tickets, but they were sold out before I could get a hold on some. There were tears. There was bitter, bitter sadness. At least until I found out that they would be in Jacksonville on the 24th of April. It was really late at night when I found out and I screamed at the top of my lungs with joy. There's a lot of details, I know, I just want to make sure you understand. ;)

So we went to the concert, here's a pic of us waiting in line...

The concert was awesome, they did my absolute favorite song, 'Love is the Movement' and they also did 'Learning to Breathe,' 'Dare You To Move' and a bunch of other songs. During 'Awakening' the lead singer, Jon Foreman, got off the stage and went to the other end of the theater, I helped him down! How awesome is that????!!!

Yeah, we weren't allowed to take pictures during the concert and, because of my obedient and respectful nature, I did as I was told. Hey, there's a first time for everything. lol

After the concert, we waited out by Switchfoot's bus so we could meet the band. They were busy meeting the fan club so we waited for awhile until they came out.

Hehehehe....

After meeting the band, we went to a small coffee shop place where Jon Foreman did a small acoustic performance. It was awesome.

So then we left, droppped everyone off, then I fell asleep at 3:00 am then slept in till 7:00. It was amazing.
