What Is The Point Of A Title Anyways?!??!!
Hey Everyone!!!
How are you all doing? I am doing pretty good! Just exhausted! Lately we have been starting to pack the house mainly just books(We really could run a library that is how many books we have!!! lol)
We have also been on the run(out) pretty much everyday. Its been really stormy lately! Yay!!! Well actually, its not so fun when the humidity is just about 100% and your hair is going CRAZY!!!!! I tell ya, Friday we went to the zoo(right after a huge storm so the humidity was up) and we were only able to spend an hour there, but in just that hour, everyone in my family was drenched with sweat, yes sweat, it was like wearing a wet blanket! We got home and I took a cold shower, boy did it feel good! After that my bro(Zach) and I went to a friends house for a game night and while we were there, I also got sticky and sweaty again, but oh well, that just adds to the fun!!! Heehee
I really do enjoy the storms that we get though, I oddly like it when the power goes out...as long as it isn't for too long! But more than that, I love the pretty sky with all the different shades of blue and pink and orenge and purple, all the colors, and the sun beams coming through the clouds!(And of course the rainbow) It just emediatly reminds me of how good God is! Just shows you how AWESOME he is! I have taken a lot of pix, of the sky, I'll post them some time!
So, my little bro (Joah-Spidyboy) Got his first loose tooth!!!!!! Ugh, he is growing up so fast! He's my little angle!! lol
Well its the first day of September!!! Wow, the year really is almost over!!! But lets not move to quickly along.
The days are approaching for us to move, and we still haven't found a house, Please pray that we find one soon, we really need to get out of the middle of no where(even though I kinda came to the liking of it =P) Cause ya know, that gas prices are out rageous, and when you have a lot of places to be different days of the week, it can suck you DRY! Haha, Stupid gas, I say lets all just go back to horse and buggy! lol Ok, you still have to think about food, and think logically but hey , it was worth the thought!
My Grandma fell...again. And sprained her ankle, but I think she'll be ok! She was at a wedding shower and fell of a step that led into the front room, ya'know how some houses have that sunk in part, yeah, that is how it happened she tripped on that step!
A few nights ago I made dinner, Meatloaf, it was pretty good! The only thing I regret about that, is cooking with the onion, wow did my eyes burn, it was so bad I had mascara streaming down my face!! It stung and burned so bad, if you can avoid cooking with onions, I suggest it!! lol
I was thinking that y'know, I haven't posted pictures in quite some time, so I guess that is what you can be looking for in my next post! What kind of pictures? Anything really I guess! lol
Oh, and happy labor day everyone! What are y'all doing for your L-D holiday? we are having some friends over for a bbq dinner! Hope you all have a good one!

Storms!!!!! =]...And Stuff
Hey Everyone!!!
How are y'all doing? I am doing pretty good!!!
How was y'all's fourth of July?
So, it looks like A (our new foster placement) will be staying with us for awhile!!! Yay!
It has been really stormy out here lately!!!(duh, its monsoon season) Besides the humidity that just makes my hair go crazy I LOVE it, I love the thunder and rain and....not so much the lightening! I could do with out that. The other day the power went out for TWO HOURS!!! AND instead of staying home and helping me, my mom decides to take three of the younger ones and go for a drive. She left me home with two tods and two infants!! UGH! It was frustrating cause it took 45mins to get A to go to sleep and when I finally did J woke him up!! I was not very happy with him. But after the power came back on my family FINALLY came home!
Another month will be here soon and in the first or second week of Aug I am going to play the piano in church again!
Well, I am getting pretty close to 500 comments so, I probably won't post again until I get to that number so, you guys up to it? lol I only need 40 something more. 
I think from now on everytime I post I will change the top song on my playlist and if you please listen to it and tell me what you think! The current one is called help pour out the rain
Well I should probably go, I am home with the babies, and mom wants me to get some laundry done. So If I want that money I better go!! hehe
But before I go, here is something I got from Jesusfreak13's blog
Things to do at Wal-Mart while your spouse/friend is taking their sweet time:
1. Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
2. Walk up to an employee and tell him/her in an official tone, 'Code 3' in housewares ..... and see what happens.
3. Go the Service Desk and ask to put a bag of M&M's on layaway.
4. Move a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
5. Set up a tent in the camping department and tell other shoppers you'll invite them in if they'll bring pillows from the bedding department.
6. When a clerk asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'
7. Look right into the security camera; use it as a mirror, and pick your nose.
8. While handling guns in the hunting department, ask the clerk if he knows where the anti-depressants are.
9. Dart around the store suspiciously, loudly humming the "Mission Impossible" theme.
10. In the auto department, practice your "Madonna look" using different size funnels.
11. Hide in a clothing rack and when people browse through, say, "PICK ME!"
12. When an announcement comes over the loud speaker, assume the fetal position and scream "NO! NO! It's those voices again!!!!"
( And; last, but not least!)
13. Go into a fitting room and shut the door and wait a while; and, then, yell, very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here!"
14: Ask one of the workers at Wal-Mart if they have Diet Water... Then if they ask you what kind of water it is tell them it's like sparkeling fruit water...
TTYAS!
God Bless,
~*Mandie*~

Happy Fathers Day To All Dads!
Hey Everyone!
So how have y'all been?
I have been pretty good!!!
Today was Fathers Day, of course! We went to church, though didn't stay for lunch, we went to N.Y.P.D.(New York Pizza Dep.) Their pizza is the BEST!!! But it is really really really Cheezy!! (my toppings kept on coming off)
Then came home! We got my dad a really nice shirt and tie, and Starbucks gift card!(my dad could live off starbucks! lol)
It has been REALLY HOT lately and I don't like it! Just yesterday it got up to 112!!!! Can you believe that!?
And it is supposed to get even hotter!!
Lately we have been going to the YMCA, not just to work out, but to SWIM as well! Oh, man it feels soooo good! Although I am not very happy cause one of the nights we were there there was an evacuation and I lost my white shirt that I had taken to change into, while I was in the locker room(would have went in the family bath, but they were all being used) I hear that we need to evac right away showering or not! I don't even know what happened but I am guessing it was a burnt wire type thing cause it smelled like really bad wires when we were leaving. But, two days later we went back and I asked them if they had a 'lost and found' and the guys was like sorda and he asked what I lost and I told him and he said it wasn't there, so I am guessing someone thought my shirt was really cute and decided to take it home!! lol It was cute.
Anyhow.
Um, nothing really exciting has been happening. Last sunday I played the piano in church and it went way better than last time. Though, I did mess up once because the communion guy came by and was like "your clean right?"(of sins) and that caught me off guard!
Oh! After that we had a going away water party thing for a family who is going to Oregon to start a new church there. It was awesome FUN!!!! I got shot up with water guns pretty bad, but I don't care! It felt good!!!
This Sat is my bff's birthday and I am really hoping my mom and dad let my go. MY mom says she has to think about it! Don't you hate when they say that!? lol

Hey Everyone!!
Hey Everyone!
Well, today is my 1 year anniversary!! Cool, uh?
I would also like to thank SmileyGirl95
For giving me my 400th comment!!! Thanks Makayla!!
Well, there isn't that much to talk about, other than school is out(I'm not quite on break yet:^( ) and I am very bored!
But here is something I got in an E-mail from my cousin, lol, I think its very interesting!...Just read.
Why, Why, Why
do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting dead?
Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they know there is not enough money?
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?
Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?
Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?
Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'Lisp'?
If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?
Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?
Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?
How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?
When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, 'It's all right?' Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, 'That hurt, you stupid idiot?'
Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?
In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?
How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?
And my FAVORITE......
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.
Interesting isn't it!?
Well, I think I shall be off, got to go eat lunch!!
Well, this is sad, two entry's in one week!!lol
God Bless,

Hey People.
As you can see my title says what it says. And why it says that is because I just wanted to post a post in memory of little 5yrld Maria Sue Chapman.
Maria Sue Chapman, adopted and youngest daughter to Mary Beth and Steven Curtis Chapman, was killed Wednesday night in a tragic accident in the family driveway on Wednesday evening. She was LifeFlighted to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital but for only reasons God can explain she went home to Him... not to Franklin as we all so desperately wanted.
Your prayers are needed for all in the Chapman family. This is a family who has so generously loved and given to so many. Just hours before this close knit family was celebrating the engagement of the oldest daughter Emily Chapman, and were just hours away from a graduation party marking Caleb Chapman's completion of high school. Now, they are preparing to bury a child who blew out 5 candles on a birthday cake less than 10 days ago. These words are unthinkable to type. And yet we trust in a God who was not surprised by this and because of Jesus I am certain through faith in Him we will see Maria again.
For those who never had the chance to meet this special little girl you can go to(Its a vid) http://chapmanchannel.typepad.com/inmemoryofmaria/
If this link doesn't work just copy it and put it in the web box.
You can also go to http://www.air1.com
And click on the link to 'In loving Memory of Maria Chapman. It should be on the first page.
When I heard of this sad news I was touched and very sad for the Chapman Family. I would like to ask for prayer for them as they are going through this difficult time.

So what has happened in the past few weeks? Not much really.

I Am Baaack!!!
Hullo Everyone!!
Well, I took a little break from HSB, which was very much needed!! lol But, hey I am Baaack!! lol
So, whats been happening in my life while I was gone? Not much...really.
So.....Ok, I guess I will start with the beginning of this month. May 1st through the 7th nothing real exciting happened. The 8th our family went to Peter Piper Pizza to have some family time! It was fun. Joah won 100 tickets! Now that is big for a little dude like him!! :-P Ok, this is boring. Oh, wait. On the 9th my mom and I went to the mad hatter(a antique store) to buy me a quilt that I have been wanting for ages!! And they have always have had it in stalk but, right when I get all the money saved up they stop selling it! How likely is that!? Ha!
Well the guy was so nice and gave me the website to go to and see if they had any in stalk, and if they did have what I want and everything goes along with it, he said to just call in and place an order, and he will order it for me! But that is only because the company ( VictoriousHeart.com) doesn't sell to the public. While we were there my mom bought herself two tea-pots, very pretty ones too! Maybe I can download some pics and show y'all. ;-D
On the 10th we went to a Church pic-nic oh what a story that is to tell. We got there ate, listened to Arial's testimony and Some other little boy. Sang, did the baptisim and then we all were able to do our own thang. Well every time we have a church gathering it is set in everyones mind's that we are going to play 'Capture the flag' as usual we did. Only this time Tyler( the leader of it all) had some new rules to add to the game. Anyhow. At the end of it all, our team won!! Like usual.
It got kind of boring. So...After playing the game. We(four girls and two boys) were all "drinking" our water, everyone had gotten wet, and I hadn't yet, all of the sudden, who decides to poor a BIG glass of water down my back? Lisa. Although it felt good. About an hour before we left, Some kid named Collin(he is new to our church) had accomplished getting every part of my body wet except my head cause I told him my Make-up was NOT water proof! lol Yeah, it was fun..Way more to tell, But I am a boring story teller and..yeah. Ok, And here is a Church pic 
Isn't their yard beautiful??!!! lol There is way more the their yard than just that little bit though! Sooo..that is just about all the church members! Just a few families missing. Um, can y'all spot me? Lol, go head and try!
Anyhow, next day. Mothers day. We went to church, and we did not stay for lunch cause it was Mothers Day, and eating at church isn't fun, cause the food is usually all the same. Anywho. We left and drove around FOREVER!!!! Finally we came to some Mexican place that was PACKED out, and our wait was TWO HOURS LONG! So, we left, went to ariba's and that was an hour wait, so we went back to our side of town and ended up going to Macayo's. I don't think I ate the rest of the day!! lol It was a good mothers day! HaHa! When we were driving all around town, my brother Micah, waved at every car that went by!!! lol It was fun, I even caught myself doing it. But, hey everyone waved back!
Monday was piano. And today, went to my g-rents!
Ok, I am so boring if I do say so myself!
On June 8th I am supposed to play the piano in church again...Could y'all please pray that this time it won't be a disaster as before?! HeHe, Thanks.
So, who else is excited about the Chronical's Of Narnia: Prince Caspian coming out on the 16th? I know I am excited!! My mom said we might go see it! Yay.
Recently I finished a book call 'Mountains Of Spices' It was really good!! I enjoyed it a lot. And now I am starting a book called 'An Old-Fashioned Girl' Actually I am just about to start chapter 10. So, yeah, that is pretty good for me cause I just started the book yesterday!! lol It is really good! So, have y'all got any books you really like?
Well, I know this was long and boring, but I shall go now!
BTW how have y'all been?
God Bless,
