Today was the perfect day to wake up to the snow that covered the ground.  It added to my spirit as I got out of bed and welcomed the day.  Snow has always been my favorite thing about winter (yes even more then playing hockey).  It has always amazed me (well blown me away actually!) how [...]

My grandparents, my Aunt and Uncle (with there two boys) and my family all gathered at my great-grandma’s house in Mankato to celebrate Thanksgiving.  It was a relaxing afternoon and I wish I had taken more pictures, but this is what I got.  Due to some requests I will not be able to post any [...]

I’m starting a 365 Thanksgiving challenge and for those that are up for the challenge I‘m also setting up a group on Facebook!

 At 16 years old I feel I should start being more thankful for what I have and not let things pass me by.  I have been blessed with a lot and should really recognize those things more!  I [...]

    
Smiles have always intrigued me.  The way they make you feel and the way they form have always made them something I am fond of doing.  I always enjoy seeing other people smile and seeing their joy in situations. As you can guess this week I was inspired by smiles and the joy they bring [...]

My family and I went over and had lunch with a family from our church.  I got a couple of cool shots.  I’m going to be experimenting with reflections and I will probably have a new post up soon with some more…..  Enjoy
    
 

Last night at Awana we had a “Thanksgiving Party”!  It was pretty much a lot of fun for the kids.  There were different activities that they could do and snacks they could eat.  It was pretty cool.  One of the activities was making a leaf and writing what you were thankful for on it and [...]

My grandma sent me a link to this YouTube video of a man who doesn’t have any limbs, but still remains happy about life and maintains a positive out look on things despite living with out limbs.  You know, it’s easy to feel bad for those people and it’s easy to think of how they must struggle.  But [...]

                                               
    
  If you know my little sister you have probably been introduced to her little bear that she has so eloquently named “Sparkle”.  Sparkle and Abigail met a few years back at an event that Community Bible Church (The church my family attends) was putting on for a children’s ministry called “Awana”.  It was Abigail’s first year to [...]

    Haha – So I didn’t actually get any pictures of my great-grandma when we visted her for her 100th birthday yesterday, but I got some really cool sunset photos and what not.  It was probably the coolest sunset I have seen in a really long time.  My pictures don’t even come close to what [...]

 Funny how after I make a comment about not getting any good picture ideas one pops up.  Merritt and I gave the dog a bath today and I thought I could get some cool pictures.  It was really hard with the dog jumping all over the place, but this is what I came up with.
