j u l y. \\ lots of memories made + ice cream

Heloooo my fellow bloggers!!! How was your month? Mine was all in all a pretty good month, I JUST REALLY CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S AUGUST AHHH! Craziness! I guess what I think of when i think of July 2017 is...responsibility.  I was 'Mom' for 2 weeks which was kinda a crazy experience, to say the least. I still managed to keep everyone doing school, workout, crochet, journal and bible reading and clean. IT WAS CRAZY THO. At times I felt victorious and at times I felt emotional..or happy or mad or whatever. Just, a lot of stuff going on!!! Mom and Ash went all over the place, OR, CA,..everywhere! It was their Mother-Daughter trip.
We finally watched Lord of the Rings, and are basically the last humans on this earth to watch it..besides the Amish.  It was weird. Not very gripping or really that entertaining to me. I just sat and crocheted and ate ice cream when we watched it. But everyone else was wanted to watch the second and third, BUT THEY WERE 3 HRS EACH! how do other humans expect other humans to sit for 9 hours?????
Anywhoo, this is random snips of my month and memories we made.

Random/funny
Lilli: Where is my princess sleeper??
Me;That's too big for you now hunny.
Lilli:Did it grow up??
Me: No- you grew up!
Lilli: *literally starts crying* I don't want to grow up tho!
It was really sad actually...

Josh: Hey Levi, I suspect that our mailman is scuffling thro our mail...*evil look*
Levi: uh waht???

Me: *is playing violin*
Caden: *picks up a crochet hook and starts conducting me* (We're the two really musical ones xD)

Josh: HEY WOULDN'T YOU LOVE TO SEE A 3 FT SPIDER??!
Me: uh no. 

Introducing the cat to the dogs...let's just see we laughed so hard we cried...😂

Josh: Okay Dylan's feet are reminding me of Gollam...AH! *cringes* (Lord of the Rings..)

Micah trying to eat the laptop 😟

'Dancing' with Lilli to thisss while Micah is tackling Rylan and Joshua is banging on pans and Caden is eating chips #crazysibs #walkthedinosaur #lifeofme #howIbabysit 

Lilliana having this weird obsession with the song 5 little Monkeys ..it's weird. She just really loves it.

Rylan: I died yesterday.
Me: Why???
Ry: BECAUSE THERE WERE BROWNIES AT CHURCH!!! 

Caden can you please take Lilli outside??
Lilli: I don't want to go outside because it's sweaty out there! 

Caden: You guys...we shouldn't of eaten those cookies...now we're gonna be FAT. 😦😣

Me: What do you want to be when you grow up??
Lilliana: umm, a human.

So May was like busy, but relaxing, but not relaxing...
ok, not sure where I'm headed with this. :0

The start was just like, nice and a fun busy, but the last couple days here have been horrid! (well, mostly) Micah has been sick and miserable so he is crying nearly all the time. We'll get through it tho, it'll just be hard for a little while. :|
May was actually really, really hard for me. It always is. More on that in another post tho...
I'm going to post the few pics from camp and such. But for thus wrap up I'll put random stuff, no order, so y'all can see what my month looked like! (kinda :/ )

• going on walks with Mom 
• Storms at one o'clock. (I love storms but I hate storms. Cause we ave to wake the baby up, and then he's hard. :l)

• A guy making a deal with me that if I taught his daughter how to ride a horse he'd buy me ice cream! #winwin

• Ashley popping her fingers, then me popping my fingers and laughing before we go to bed =pp  #sisters #onlyus
• planting in our garden, ayayyy!
• A healthy shake that tastes like brownie batter for breakfast  <33
• rollerskating then going to  Braums for ice cream and hanging out with Jared, Ash, and David, then just talking with Ash and Dave for-ev-errr in the parking lot.... :)

• Going crazy and taking over 40 pictures of raindrops..#me ;D
• Playing volleyball with the 'big kids' - and completely stinking. I donno what was up with my serving, but it was always out of bound and so were my hits.

Soooo, I did I giant 23 verse review yesterday! I did look for some verses, but I usually just checked the verse after I said it. Also, I have tried before to memorize the whole book but haven't been able to. So I broke the book up into portions. But yeah, if you look closely you might notice.
Okay, so here are the pictures of everything I wrote down!

 Hello December

April Goals-

First goal-   POST THIS SOMETIME!

Now, lets see how much of that I can get done!!

Now, a quick question, I need ya'll's opinion on something. Out of 4 languages, which do you think I should start/finish learning- Spanish-I partly know it, Swahili-I know quite a lot of it, Dutch-I know a teensy bit, or Creole- which I know absolutely none of! It is hard to decide what to start/finish learning, because I want to learn all of them! I love learning different languages, because the way I look at it, knowing a different language enables us to help more people and to share the gospel in more places!

Well, thanks for reading my goals, I hope you enjoyed this post! And Thanks to those who give some advise on the question! Have a great day!!
