Fun stuff 2 do with your camera! Pt. 1

The other day I did some fun stuff with my camera. So, let me share.

The 1st way is to (@ night) turn off all the lights around you, turn on the flash and take a picture. The light will be cool, and when editing turn the picture to balck and white and raise the contrast ALOT!! Here are some examples. (In the pictures are my friend Bridget and I)

I hope you enjoyed this! I sure had fun taking the pictures!!

Goat Expo Pics!!

Here are some pics I took at the goat expo @ MSU last weekend, enjoy!!

G and I before hitting the road

The golden arches were we met up some other people to go to Lansing

After about and hour and a half and a science study guide we reached Lansing (Where the expo was)

Before the actual expo we had to registir (sp?!)...

Figure out the judging cards....

Spot a man in a kilt.....

And smile B-I-G for the camera!

Next was going to the Anthony hall...

Which included more waiting and a welcome sign...

The quiz bowl was the main event that the team was there, sady the Jr. team didn't do so well, but the Sr. team made it through 3 rounds I believe.

Here's the Jr. team

The sign outside the hall.

Next thing was lubch we went out side and G and Hunter T. had a round of "Tennis" (the hand slapping game)

So there you have some pics from my hectic Saturday!

Nothin' much 2 say but....

Hi guys!
This has been a REALLY busy weekend, my sis' G. had a goat expo that she was part of @ MSU, a 4-H meeting, and my dad leaves for Brazil on Sun. So that doesnt sound too busy, but it was. The goat expo was like all day (starting @ 7:00 am, i got up @ 5:00am), and Gabbi wasn't back till 7:00 pm. My mom had a party for one of her college friends, and Bridget cane over to help baby-sit my sibs. After she left @ around 11:00pm, I crashed.

On Sun. morn I woke up w/ a bit of a cold, so I stayed home from church. :(   And my Dad leaves for Brazil tonight (it's a business trip), so I hope I feel better soon!

P.s. i took pics at the goat expo so I post them soon!

P.P.S I cn't believe it! I almost have 20 followers!! (i have 19 right now), thank you so much if you are a follower! You guys really do "Rock my blog"!

A Award!!! Whooo!!!

I've been awarded the "Pure In Heart Award" by Bess @ Bess's Bag!

If you are tagged:

1. Post about the tag.

2. Pick 10 bloggers who deserve this award. (I'm with Shaynie on this, I think I'll pick 5, so those I tag/award can pick some folks, too. Hope that's okay! If I tag/award you, feel free to pick 5 or so, too. :)

3. Leave a comment on the blogs of the people you tagged letting them know they were awarded.

4. Answer the questions along with your post. (Omit questions you don't want to answer - I'm all for simplicity!)





1: Apples, Oranges or Bananas? I’ll say bananas. I think apples are a bit time consuming 2 eat, bananas aren't :)



2: How many siblings do you have? I have 4 little sisters and a little brother.



3: How old are you? I'm in my early teen years.



4: Do you live on a prairie, woodland, swamp, city or other? I live in the middle of the woods that's half swamp in the spring :)



5: Scissors or glue? Um, weird question, glue. I'd like to keep things together.



6: Describe your dream house. A apartment w/ a great view of the city.



7: Is your room clean? I guess, I;ve been busy this weekend so it is a bit dis-orderly. :(



8: If you could be a movie character for a day, who would you be? I think either Spock from "Star trek" or Nim from "Nim's Island". I love Nim's outfits, so beachy and confortable!


9: Italy, Greece, France, Spain or England? Oh, hard question! In Italy there's good food, in England there's rich history and in France there is so much art! I'll say England.


10: What denomination are you? Non-denominational



11: Do you sleep with a stuffed toy (BE HONEST!)? Actually no, I never was comfortable sleeping w/ a animal. I did have two security blankets.


12: Gum, chocolate, or jelly beans? Chocolate!



13: What is your favorite book? I hate questions like these, cause I hate to choose! Well, of course the Bible, and my favorite book in the Bible is Song Of Solomon or Revelations or Acts. Wow, i like alot of the Bible, which is great! Ok, I'll narrow down, Acts.


14: Favorite ice cream flavor? Um, I like alot but Coffee is one of my favs!



15: If you had to eat one type of food for two weeks, what would that food be? Pasta! :)



16: What is your favorite Olympic sport? Gymnastics.



17: If you woke up and discovered that you had turned into Miley Cyrus for the day, what would you do? I'd jump up and down saying "OMG,OMG,OMG!!" and thank God for letting it happen. :)  I'd help myself to her (my) bracelets, and go through and rid "my" closet of all her immodest clothes. I'd grab all my friends right now and we'd have a girls day in LA, shop and go to the theater!


18: Describe yourself in three words. Creative, Tragedy-Loving, Christian.



19: What chore do you hate? Cleaning the kitchen.



20: If Elmo came into your room with a gun, what would you do? What? Okay, I guess I'd scream so loud he drop his gun, I'd grab his gun and call 9-1-1, and he'd have so many exposes done about him in tabliods and on the news, and his reputation as a singing red puppet would be destroyed :) I'd be THE hero and be rewarded.

Miranda-"Travel Notes"

Jennifer-"Walking..."

Mac and Kat-"Beautiful Elegant Designs"

Laney-"Got Freckles?"

Pompeii Fighters! GRRRR!

In our History for school we have been studying Ancient Rome, and N has to do a report about Pompeii and all that happened. She has been SO excited for it that she got D, M and T to play "Gladiators" and "Fighters from Pompeii" , they were  so cute playing.

This is M's "Pompeii Fighter" face ;D

This is through the front door window

Blades of Grass and Pink Tulips...

There are still more spring things to capture so here they are:

M's tooth!

Well, about 2 days after M lost the 1st front tooth the second came out (w/ the help of a string!) The string lasted about 2 min. then the tooth was out! So here is M's new mouth!

M's teeth

My lil' sister has had a loose tooth for awhile and finally (after her NOT wiggling it for the longest time) it fell out! Whoo! But sadly it is MIA out in the yard :(, Oh, well. But M still got money for it. (7 cents for the tooth) And she wanted me to take pictures of the great event!

This is about my favorite!

I was recruited to serve food so a friend took pictures, and I'd like to share them w/ you!
