Rebecca's Graduation Party

Here are three pretty random pictures from Rebecca's graduation party.

Sorry, I've been neglecting my blog for a while.

 Michael has this really funny Scottish hat and wig(combined),

and a few people decided to try it on.

Probably having good conversations

 A bunch of people talking and having fun.

Our Trip

We had a great time on our trip. The Lord watched over us the whole way,

and we learned a lot from the conference.

 Here are some windmills we saw on the way.

 This is a Roxana Police car.

 a cool truck

 After arriving at the Johnsons' grandparents' place, we went for a walk. 

Here are some pretty flowers we saw on the way.

 The Cone Barn is an awesome ice cream shop

in Roxana, Illinois.

The ice cream was really good.

 Here's a cute little toad we found.

 Our family at the Cone Barn

 Here's the little house some of us stayed in.

 A playground

 There was an American flag on our house.

 And now for the conference. I didn't get any pictures until the final day,

but at least that's something. This is one of our fun leaders for Commit.

 Two of the leaders were sisters. Sorry one has her eyes closed.

 Here's my team. Starting on the right is our team leader, Bethany Reeves,

then me, Bethany Johnson, Joy Grubbs, Abby Lawrence, and Sarah Cox.

They were all really fun and we had a great time at Commit.

 This is the entire orchestra and choir. Everyone did a really good job.

 There was a cool eagle statue in the church where we performed.

 Now for presentations. These are the children from the Children's Institute.

They sang two songs and quoted some Scripture.

 They did a really good job.

The Pre-excel group also did a really good job. 

Bill Gothard shared before our last song.

Babysitting

Today I got to babysit my adorable nephew. Albert and I had a really good time together,

so here are a couple pictures of him.(mostly)

 Here's him meeting his uncle Josh for the first time.

 Then I propped him up on the couch.

He seemed to really like it.

I know he has his eyes closed in this picture,

but he's still really cute.

Here's us hanging out together!

I just love this little guy so much!

I hope you enjoyed!

Gilberts

Yesterday the Gilberts came over for lunch and games,

so here are some pictures of the Gilbert children. (most of them)

Jessie is getting so big!

Poor Emily had really hurt her lip the day before.

James

Danny

And Allie!

 

Albert!

Here are a few pictures of Albert from the other day.

He actually stuck his thumb in his mouth all by himself!

Smiley little guy

I love him so much

Bird

Around supper time, we saw a cute bird in our back yard.

Can you tell what kind of bird it is?

Isn't he cute?

Bees!

Around lunch time, we noticed a large swarm of bees in our front yard

and found two nests. One was in a lilac bush and the other one was in an aspen tree.

 The lilac bush swarm before they settled

And here's the tree swarm

Then the tree swarm decided to move to one of the neighbor's trees.

And one of Daniel's pictures to finish it off
