LOOK AT THIS CACTI MUG!!!!! ❤️🌵

April was weird. A very strange month and I still can't really make sense of what all happened..etc. It was really crazy bc: something really amazing and super exciting happened, and something really awful happened.  I can't say that it was a dreadful month, but I really can't say that it was a great month either. *SIGHS*
Overall, it was a pretty good month and I'm thankful for the fun memories we made.

HAPPENINGS:

alll da puppies are gone!!! 

Ash got hired at our local hardware store!! (Soooo much better then McDonald's)

Trying quite a few new hairstyle (thanks to Ash ❤️) and really loving them.

Dad and Mom going to NE, returning with our sweet friend's famous, amazing pickles <333

Chicks and duckings are at race brothers again ❤️❤️

Lots of coffffeee.

Planted 31 radish plants and 20 tomatoes plants!! 🌱🌿🍅

WE GOT TO SEE THEODORE AGAIN!!!!! [Back in October we had him for a few days and then things didn't work out for the parents..] I was beginning to think I'd never see him again. It was so awesome holding him... He's such a chub!!! He's already 6 months old <3333

painting  rocks + fishing + mushroom hunting + blasting songs with the siblings xxx

going to the creek a lot and capturing adorable pictures <33

I literally took a hiatus at the perfect time. WE'VE BEEN SO BUSY.

CONSISTENTLY writing letters to my penpals!! XD

doing French a lot and some Swahili

Seeing a movie in the theater with Mom and Ash. And alll the coffee and buying green plants and printing pictures. :D

Our adopted grandpa helping us move the swarm of bees into the hive.. He is really just the most sweetest person ever. He's getting us do bees this summer and it's super exciting!

Me and Josh officially started learning sign language! We're learning more PSE rather then ASL. 

Finally getting Sabine's letter put together...and now it's on it's way to Africa!!! (we got a FRENCH letter from her and it was so cool + cute!!!)

making new friends..and losing friends...= mixed emotions. :(

completely going plant crazy. sometimes my weirdness surprises even me. ^_^

Me and my brother biked almost 4 miles.. In 15 minutes!!! *awesomeness*

Andd, lottts of other bike rides. Micah loves it so much. (There is a seat on the back of mom's bike)

lots of red and dark pink lipstick idek why??

Micah moved into my room... Which like makes me sad and happy. Sad because now I have to get up multiple times a night, and happy bc he's becoming a big boy. 😐😂

ASHLEY TURNED 23. Waht even? Happy birthday lady! I hope this is your best year yet! (I have a feeling it might be...😆)

Going to a friend's house and eating fried turkey (that was shot that morning) around a fire outside. It was a lot of fun. ;)

Sweet friends emailing/messaging me saying they've missed me. AW y'all are really the best!!!

When Lilli covers her rock in salt to make it 'sparkle' 

Does salt come from outer space? -Levi

Lilli: *please let me beeeee... Princess Sofia!* * Blows out dandelion* 

So me and Dylan and Mom are addicted to something. It's called Pyure energy and it's good for you and amazing BUT all the stores aren't wanting to carry it! Soooo we literally take every single box whenever we find some. (There's a picture way up there 😂)

Me: say Paigey!
Micah: dah!

Dah!
Say easy..
Micah: eeeee!! 

*while we're in bed*
Lilli: wait... What's that sound?

LET'S TALK!!!

Guess what. I had to use my tiny phone for this entire post. Yeah that was hard. 
How was your month? Did ya miss me? (Jk) have y'all been busy?

at the local park

helloo??

this was at our house ;) 

yea though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death.....

blogging break [aka Hiatus?] YELLOW MAKES ME HAPPY.

So..life has been incredibly busy. And everyone is going on these 'Hiatuses' but honestly I've been thinking about how I should take a break for at least 3 months now. Blogging has been an incredible experience, I've made many friends through it and it's cool being able to share my perspective on stuff. But on the other hand, I've also had people that I thought were my friends...be not very friendly. Lots of disappointments bc that is the other side of social media stuff. It has also made me compare, a lot. And that's really not good. I struggle with jealousy and comparing my life with others, and not being content. I pretty much always have..but blogging kinda made it worse, bc I'm constantly seeing how many friends people have and this awful jealousy creeps over me. It's really awful, but I'm working on overcoming it. 

ANYWAYS. (real sorry for rambling xD)

Right now I feel like I just need to focus on investing time in my younger siblings, and just not worry about blogging for this month. While I LOVE blogging, sometimes it is a burden. I feel like I should post what's going on, and stuff exciting that happens...and when I don't it just sorta nags me. So I'm gonna try to just step back, relax more this month, and then when May rolls around maybe I'll be able to catch up on the GIVE posts and pics of Snowbell, etc. Maybe I'll schedule a few posts and post on G+ but maybe not. :/ I just need a break is all I know. There is so much going on, and planting is going to be hopefully mid-april. 

I hope that y'all have a great month, it'll probably fly by!! Let's all remember to really enjoy the happy little things in life. and not worry about having to post them.  xD

thanks for sticking with me while i sort out my weird emotions. you guys are crazy awesome <333 see y'all soon xxx
