Which Game Does This Apply To?

To answer that question, the animal/game is what this post can be applied to. I learned that fact from my dad; he teaches us a lot about what to do outdoors under different circumstances. As it just so happens, we just recently were shooting outside. Take a look at the pictures below:

 

Caden shooting his .22 at the target. He's very serious when he does this, as you can see.

 

That reminds me, he doesn't like to smile for pictures, so if I can get him in a picture, don't expect him to be smiling. Unfortunately he doesn't care what the picture is for, it can be difficult to get him to smile. Oh well.



 

Here's me shooting the same gun. I know it looks like im doing a backbend, but pay no attention to my body form. Instead, pay more attention to the smoke coming out of the barrel. Looks awesome!!

 

Dad is teaching Grace how to shoot a gun in this picture. This is her first time to shoot a real gun, so she was nervous. "Red means Dead, No Red means No Dead" is what Dad said. Grace asked, "Why does red mean dead?" and Dad replied with, "Because the red signifies blood. If you shoot someone, they will bleed, a lot."

 

That made her a little more nervous than she already was, but she ended up doing fine. As you can see, Dad is holding the gun for her as she aims and shoots. See the dust flying by the target? That's her shooting and she actually hit it on her 1st try! Next target up for her would be a squirrel or deer. My stomach can't wait for that day!!



Little Miss Biker

My little sis learned how to ride a dirt bike the other day and she has been riding it nonstop! Every chance she gets, she is outside peeling out and doing wheelies everywhere in our yard!!.....Actually she doesn't, but she is getting pretty good at it. For example, look below.

 

This is day 2 people and look at that turn! Taking it like a pro. You impressed yet?

 

 

She only rides in 1st gear right now, but she is sure to graduate from that soon by the pace she's going. Maybe about a month or two, and then comes a whole new obstacle in itself, 2nd gear....

 

 

....and yall better hold on, cuz it's gonna get Fast and Furious!!

Haha, I know I know, cheesier than cheese. Don't care though. ;)

 

She has fallen several times since she's been going at it, but she keeps trying and trying. Proverbs 24:16 says, "For the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity." I think that fits her well. She hasn't fallen seven times, but close enough.

That's all I got for this post!!

 



Night Driving Initiated

Last night I drove in the car for about 1 hour! Pretty impressive huh? ;)
Ya know, I don't like driving all the time, but night driving (so far) is pretty neat!! The scenery is so different at night, it's like you're in a totally different town.

Granted, it's most likely not going to always be like it was. I'm not looking forward to those nights where there are big clusters of cars everywhere, and no one turns down the high beams so you are blinded nearly half the trip. Last night wasn't one of those nights thankfully, it was actually peaceful. No honking, no over-usage of the high beams, and not to much lane-jumpers. I especially like how the oncoming traffic lights are very visible, so it doesn't take much effort to know that someone is coming. The one thing I didn't like about driving last night was the fact that our streets and turns came up really fast, so I guess that's one thing I'm gonna have to get used to.

The dangers of driving at night are still out there though, and I was blessed not to come across any drunk drivers, road-ragers, or any animals like deer that decide to cross the road at the last second. I am going to end this post with a reminder to everyone that is reading this, whether it be me in the future or other people that are reading this blog: Driving is something that must be taken seriously, and extreme consequences can come with a mistake you make on the road. It is a privilege to be able to drive on the roads and you must NOT take that lightly. Always be careful while driving (whether during the day or night), and definitely don't Drink and Drive!!!

Reach Camp 2015

Well, I just had the best week of the summer happen to me again for the second year in a row! On July 6-10 me and my youth group went to Reach Camp, a Christian youth camp that is totally AWESOME!! We hang out, have group study times, eat tons of food, and most importantly, praise God!!!

Lol, yeah we look kinda ridiculous. This was about Wednesday that week when this pic was taken, which was right outside the worship center. The lessons were great and the pastor was funny. I will not lie, I nearly cried every lesson. That's how good it was!

 

No comment on this one. Nothing special, just me, my awesomeness, and the dorm I was in. It was a good picture so I thought it should be posted. ;)

 

This was during the REC time that we have outside. Don't ask me what it stands for, cuz I don't know. All I know is it is very exhausting after 2 hours of non-stop team-building exercises.

 

 

Now here's a good pose! All of us being ourselves, and about to try and demolish the other teams. That's what it is all about. :)

 

Anyways, that basically sums up the week in a nutshell, hope yall liked the update!!

Life As A Freshmen Has Ended

Hey guys, it's me again! Sorry for the delayed posting (again), I've had a really hectic and hard year, but now all that is over because school year 2014-2015 is officially over!! I've learned a lot from my many mistakes as a Freshmen in a new homeschooling environment, such as learning not to procrastinate with schoolwork and to never fully trust computers, so I'm now ready to tackle a new year that is yet to come!

I have also learned a lot about strength this year as well. I had surgery in October because of health issues that I've been having for a long time, so now I no longer have a gall bladder. The recovery was hard and I still have not gained back the muscle mass I had before, but I'm mostly back to normal.

On a completely different note, I got my permit!!! Very scary to tell ya the truth. I'm probably the only one in my group of friends that doesn't like to drive. It just seems like just another thing to worry about during my teenage years. Sure it gives ya freedom when you finally get your license, but there is a lot of stress on the road that I'm not enjoying right now. I've already almost gotten in a wreck twice. Oh well, guess it just comes with experience. I'll post again updating yall when I get my license, and hopefully I like it (at least a little) by then.

So anyways, I will be planning on posting more now that it is summertime and most of my big vacation activities are over with, so expect more posts soon!! I will try and post pretty frequently, at least until school starts again in about a month. I'll try to post then, but I may be really busy again. I guess we'll just have to wait and see!! ;)
