.:popsicles, beans and yarn:.

                                       
Yesterday {afer takinga n hour to upload pictures to Blogger} I laid down in my bed and  saw the yarn that has been sitting onmy windowsill for about a week waiting to be made into a baby sweater....but the light outside was casting light on it and high-lighted the fibers and made it look lovely, so I grabbed the camera a got this:



And a magical bean grown in our garden... ;)

And here are some more mouth-watering pictures.....my popsicle! The colors were so amazing!

.:first rehearsals tonight:.

Okay, tonight is the read-through for the play I'm in {'It's A Wonderful Life"} and I'm kind of nervous and excited to see who got what part.....mmmm. But for some reaso this past week has felt soooo long! I have no idea why. Random? Very!

Here are some pic I took this past friday at delta and tomorow I'd like to post pics from tonight at the theater....

This is almost the same from the pictures from the previous Delta post, just bigger and so so grainy! :P






My totally awesome shoes! :)




On friday night it was my friend Anna's birthday and her party! And it was alot of fun, we wached
 "The Last Song" and there was not one dry eye when it as over. It was so good! But I cried really bad mostly becuase my grandma Cindy had lung cancer and it reminded me of her and how much I miss her.... But it is a really sweet movie and I highl recomend it! :)

This is Paige and Anna bringing Ellie {Anna's horse} into the barn. It is all out of focus and I thought it looked almost like bokeh. Maybe that's just me though!



                                                     That's it for now! Talk to you all later!

.: fyi:.

I just wanted to let you guys know that I got my callback today and I got the part of Violet!!!! :) AndI'm so happy too because by bff Bridget got the part of Young Mary, and it's all so exciting! :D Our first parctice is on Monday, and I'll post soon!

.: of auditions and farmer's market:.

Okay, my life has been crazy this past week! In a good way though. :)
On Monday night I got to hang with my awsome friend Brittany and we watched a "Pirates of the Caribean" movie. I think we watched #2. I love those movies!!!! Jonny Depp is too good! :)

On Tuesday I had Science co-op {I'm studying Physical Sci.} and this past module has been about air, yeah, air. We learned aout how some of the research for Global Warming is wrong and did you know that the air was more polluted in the 1970's????

That night my BFF Bridget and I went to go audition for the play, "It's A Wonderful Life" and it was alot better then I had anticipated, which I so thankful for that! The director was awesome and he made a point to make everyone feel welcome. I read the part of Violet about 3 different times and once for Mary.

On Wednesday, Bridget and I went to the second night of auditions and the director had me read he same part for Violet again and again and again! I think I have that part memorized. For a little bit if looked like he was trying to decide between me and Bridget for Violet. After the audition he told us he deffintel had parts for both of us.....So call backs are frm tonight {thurs.} to Friday and I'm getting nervous, but not to bad.

I'm really happy with my experience especaily  since it was my first time auditioning for anything! And the show will be playing at a really neat theater {or at least that's were the auditions were} it has a marquee and really cool lightbulbs and I'm itching to take pictures of! So cross your fingers! :P

Here are some pictures I took last Saturday when we went to a farner's market just down the street from the theater.

                                                   The best tamale I've ever had! They are so good....

.:delta homeschool co-op:.

Yippee! I'm so gald our homeschool co-op started today :) We have 10 wk. semesters and this is the first one for this school year, and he meet at our local college {not so local for us, we liv 45 min. away from it}But it's great to have fellowship with other home-schoolers and homeschooling parents. This is the list of the totally awesome classes I'm taking this semester:
-Tapestry of Grace {we are studying year 2}
-I then have a free hour and I walked around and took pictures around campus
-Percussion II. I played snare drum last semester. It's moe of a drum line really.
-Choir, the band teacher is doing it and so far it's been good. I need to come up with suggestions though for next week.

Those are all my classes and so far I like all of them. Here are some pictures I took during my free hour after lunch. They ahve a beautiful garden complete with a fountian outside of the cafeteria, I couldn't resist! I also realized after I took them all I had the camera set on a smaller picture size and I was upset, so I'm sorry if they are pixalated or grainy :P

.:life on a sun. in september:.

Okay, I could not thin of a more interesting post title so bear with me! So this post will be about my Sunday {yesterday}. Yesterday was the dedication service for our new facilities, and previous pastors from Hopevale came and I got to meet the previous Hoevale pastor who dedicated me when I was a lil' baby whichj was really neat because I only had seen pictures of him in our scrpbooks.

One the way back home from church we stopped by Burger King {I love their fries!} and grabbed a bite to eat. And then we stopped at a apple orchard that was a having a crft show all over the grounds. It was a blast, so many beautiful things all surrounded by the smell of cider and doughnuts!!! :)

And this is the second one i got


















When we got home {finally} Grandpa Dave had arrived for a short stay overnight. We were all tired so we went out for dinner and for a last to at the beloved Freezer {the local ice cream shop}. It closed on Sunday night a 9:00pm. :(  But it was yummy! I got a black rasberry cone dipped in chocolate, mmmmm....


                     a barrel of flowers outside

     my cone....dripping!
                      even more dripping

We arrived home and got pj's on and folded the mountain of laundry while watching a recording of
"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition", itwas the Beach family episode and it's one of my faves. And then bed! :) I went to bed fairly early but I was still tired ths morning. :P

On sat. Mommy and I went to "Hobby Lobby" and I got 4frames to go in my bedroom, here they are {the picture quality isn't the greatest bacuse I had to take the pictures inside :P}

All of them match my room colors






































And the 4 th frame picture doesn't want to be loaded. So that's all the frames.

I found this really neat album by Vitamin String Quartet abnd they did a version of "American Idiot" by Greenaday and it's awesome! I mean even though it's just strings it is like rock music. And part of the reason it's awesome I think is beacause it's just music,no words and that cuts out  whole lot of bad stuff out {i.e. swearing} and there's no heavy metal so it's a really enjoyable album. To hear samples go here.
Love,
Josie
