4 weeks I have been blogless. My friend who always hosted my server had to shut his down and suddenly I had to find a new server! After researching I decided to use BlueHost. It was a long process to move 5 years of posts and pictures to a new server. Thankfully I have a great friend who did it for me. There were some hiccups and days I prayed that it wasn’t all lost forever. I started this blog in May 2008; the month my Mother died. Keilee had only been 8 a few months, and I have kept it up, for 5 years. Everything isn’t perfect. There are some weird little symbols thrown in, most of them look like little crosses which Keilee and I kinda like. I can’t fix them all. It would take forever. So I am leaving them in.
I can’t cram 5 weeks into one post so I am just going to highlight. 🙂
Keilee had her performance of “Father of the Bride”. It was wonderful. Even though she didn’t have a HUGE role it was so funny. Her “Brooklyn” accent was great and so many people asked her afterward if she was A( From Brooklyn or B( Took lessons! I am putting her favorite scene on here. She was in a couple more but they were less lines. Back story; she is one of the Wedding consultants and has a very bad attitude toward the Banks. She definitely thinks they are beneath her with her Paris fashions…but as much as you can ‘take the girl outta the Brooklyn, you can’t take the Brooklyn outta the girl’ 🙂 Plus she wore 5 1/2” heels! I can’t walk in 2” heels!
Another exciting thing the last few weeks is Keilee is a part of a new YouTube channel called “7 Cool Homeschoolers”. Theresa at Red Oak Lane’s daughter thought of the idea and the girls each day a day a week and post a ‘Themed’ video. So far there has been “All About Me”, “A Day In the Life Of” [Keilee did The Wicked Witch!], a Freestyle [check this one out it is hysterical, she randomly danced all over our town!] and a “How Do”. She is so enjoying coming up with ideas and filming these every week. It is all her. She comes up with the ideas and writes the script and films it all on her own. I got her a Tripod and it really makes things easier. Please watch and support all these talented Homeschool Girls!
She has been keeping busy with her ‘Unschooling’ life. She is constantly doing something. More in depth on that later on.
Here are a few collages although I have taken very few pictures lately except with my iPhone.
Keilee got a Giga Ball for Christmas and we just got it inflated. With an air pump it was still a bit of a PAIN! She likes it though. Storing it is a huge problem too. It doesn’t fit through the door of any of our outside storage.
She spent a couple of hours one night painting all over herself! It actually looked pretty cool but she couldn’t sit down or anything because it was MESSY!
Gymnastics and more gymnastics. She loves this. She is constantly flipping and flinging and throwing herself upside down. She has bruises all over her legs. She always says to me, “Mom why did you let me quit Gymnastic lessons???” Yup…all my fault.
Spring has SPRUNG here! Gorgeous days and nice nights. I am sure we will have some cooler weather but WINTER is gone! The squirrel was so funny. It was hanging upside down from VERY high in our tree. We couldn’t figure out what he was doing! And of course, all these pictures were taken by Keilee!
Various pictures taken…
1. Keilee with her cousin Seth. He is 6’4″ and had to crouch down! They were working in the yard.
2. Hula Hooping in Wal-Mart!
3. Trying to learn “Call Me Maybe” on the keyboard
4. Working on her video for “7 Cool Homeschoolers”
5. Keilee and I Easter morning before church.
6. Silly Keilee at her Vet internship
7. Easter basket cupcakes!
So…I feel like the Who’s screaming from their speck, “I AM HERE, I AM HERE!!” I have missed everyone so and missed posting.
Happy weekend!
Homeschooling Rocks!
