Trying

I mentioned that I was going to begin blogging more regularly, instead of sporadic blog posts. So, I'm trying to get back into the whir of blogging with just a simply "here's-what's-been-going-on" post :)

Weeding one day :)

My brothers :) Great? YES!

He is SO buff ;)

Okk, this is seriously AMAZING! Sarah Ellen, my amazing little sister, is the most amazing artist! She can draw anything and I am just blown away by her pictures!

Friends in Arkansas asked Sarah if she could draw them. Sarah's just about done with the picture and I'd say it looks stunning! Sarah... you're a great artist!

Sheet music :) I'm trying to learn a new song on the piano (Cristofori's Dream. If you haven't heard it, you should!) But I can't read sheet music. Soo, I have to go through the pages and write the letters above every note :) It's the only way I can "read" sheet music :) And I'm SO excited to learn this song! :D

Not much else has been going on recently. We got to go to Christ Fellowship last night after being gone for two weeks. It was wonderful to be back with that body of believers! I am SO thankful for them. (I think I'll post more about some stuff that was shared in another post :) )

Anywho, that's about it for now :) I'm going to close and hopefully write again soon :D

Olympic Brothers

On the last day of  school the SIL school had their summer olympics. Ian and Andrew got to participate since they were in the school. Ian was on team Kenya and Andrew on team Italy.

"Let the games begin!"

Races! They held toilet paper up for the finish line. (It kept ripping though)

Teammates cheering for their team. 

The shot put throw.

Ian's turn.

Andrew doing long jump!

Ian giving it his best!

Lil' onlookers watching the games.

On opposing teams but still bestest of friends. 

The last leg of the relay race. 

Showing off the batons. 

Ian passing it on. 

Rope climbing... (it's the MK olympics ;) ) 

There were loads of red ants up there, so Mr. DJ went up with bug spray to try and kill them all. He got some but there were just too many! 

Ian rope climbing.

The long race.

He made it! 

Ian's age group heading out. 

Yeah! He made it to the end! 

Fencing. Mr. Wilfred and Ms. Carola showed us how to do it ;)

And Ian's turn. 

Then some of the guys went for it.
