SEPTEMBER 1-4

SEPT01

We had a "run through" for AWANA tonight. I was pleasantly surprised to find our 24/7 (middle and high school) group has grown! I am so excited to see what God does in our kids this year.

SEPT02

Decided to try a new thing in the kitchen today. Before frying my egg, I put a piece of cheese in the hot pan. I had cooked cheese melted onto the egg when it was done!

SEPT03

This is my sister, "A". She agreed for me to post this picture. My other sister, "K", and A were chopping fresh onions for my mom's onion dip for a party we went to today (Sept. 04). They were literally crying because the onions were so fresh! You can see A is wearing swimming goggles-they work to keep the oils out of your eyes. 

SEPT 04

I accidentally stapled my pointer finger today. I was trying to fix my mini-stapler, because it wasn't fitting together right. Suddenly I felt a shooting pain, and there was half a staple in my finger! My mom pulled it out, but I think I still have a sliver in my finger. We will look at it tomorrow to see for sure. 

8/24-8/31

8.24.2010

I have no idea why this is sideways x[

Again, homework wins the photo of the day. This was a 5 page paper due the next Wednesday, and I had just finished it the night before. 

Typical college student xD

8.25.2010

No picture today :(

8.26.2010

One mom from our homeschool group mentioned to my mom that she brings her crock-pot in the car on long trips. There is a device called an "inverter" which uses energy from the car to make electricity! My mother made a delicious dinner with chicken, potatoes, and carrots, that cooked while we drove. We used the crock pot every day for breakfast on our trip, too.

8.27.2010

Today we visited Cabrillo national Monument. We climbed in the Lighthouse, read educational maps, and touched chain mail. 

8.28.2010

My cousin got married today. I did not take pictures with my big camera. This post will be edited to include a picture from the wedding.

8.29.2010

We visited the Rock church today. It was huge! They are going through a series, "Soul Food." Their pastor is a very good storyteller. His sermon seemed directly to what was happening in our family that morning, too! 

8.30.2010

My sister's choir sang the National Anthem today at the Giant's game. We stayed to watch the game. My cousin, Michael, got to come with us for a little while, and my friend Timmy also came.  The Giants were in the lead until around the 8th or 9th inning, when the Rockies scored two runs. It was a good game!

8.31.2010

I was going to take a photo of my youth group's announcement sheet, but forgot to. 

8/17-8/23

8.17.2010

As you can see, this day was full of school. I had math homework due, and it was pretty easy for the most part, since it was all review. 

8.18.2010 and 8.19.2010

I don't think I had a photo today :( I missed a lot of days this week.

8.20.2010

Pretty sure I read this book on Friday night. One more negative thing about not posting right away: memory fails!!

8.21.2010

The clouds were amazing today. This was taken at the "Connection Ministries" picnic for our church. Later that day we went shopping at the base, and watched Despicable Me in 3D for my brother's birthday.

8.22.2010

Happy birthday, baby brother! I layered his gifts in a huge box with newspaper and shredded paper as well. It was fun to make. He wasn't phased by all the wrapping though-he wanted the gifts.

8.23.2010

On our way to a ballroom dance (which was tons of fun, by the way) we spotted a fire outside the window. It stopped the highway for a while and had a huge column of smoke!

8/10-8/16

Instead of a plethora (love that word!) of posts, I will post all the photographs from the past month in sequences of seven days. I will work not to get so behind. Enjoy!

8.10.10

I do not think I took a photo today :(

8.11.10

I think my computer counter is messed up. It says this photo was taken on the 10th, but we had a Potluck on the 11th, and that is what I made this chocolate chip banana bread for. The potluck was with about half of my Uruguay Family. It was so nice to hang out and play "CHANCHO" again. 

8.12.10

On Thursday I helped out at my (former) youth group's "County Fair" night. It was fun. Strange to be on the outside looking in, but good. Photographed above is my backpack; inside is my new planner, notebooks, and folders, for the next day I started school. 

8.13.2010

Friday the 13th! First day of school-I like my sociology teacher. Also trying to add an English class. The photo is Galations; I was going through Galations...it's a very good read. You can also see my Pocahontas sheets which I have had since I was about 6 years old.

That night we went to a Lock in with my old youth group. It was lots of fun! they put spongebob on our pizza and we had yogurt and watched a movie and stayed up late. One highlight was seeing my friend Ally, whom I have not seen in at least 2 years! 

Julia's yogurt with blueberries and strawberries

After walking from the fro-yo shop to our old house, we walked to our family's favorite Japenese restaurant. Worried that the three of us would not have enough food, we ordered an Udon bowl, california roll, and a large Fried Rice. We ended up taking Udon home, and finishing everything else. When the waitress came back to get our food, she commented, "You guys only eat a little." Our eyes bulged and we smiled, patting our over-full tummies. On the way back home we tried to figure out how Japenese women stay so thin when they eat so much food!

8.15.2010

No photo today :(

8.16.2010

On this night I realized I didn't have a picture. My sister came in and blew some bubbles, and it was fun trying to photograph her blowing and catching bubbles. 

Long time no post

For the most part (nearly every day) I have been taking pictures. It's taken me really long to actually post them, but I hope to get better at that. Sometimes there isn't much that happens in my day to photograph though-I am contemplating having you (readers) suggest ideas of things to shoot when I have an "ordinary" day. What do you think?
Let me know.
