What we did today

Today was a long day for us...the day began with a visit to the psychiatrist, then we went to a family retreat.  Here are pictures from our day...hope you enjoy them :D

 At the psychiatric hospital they had a bunch of rose bushes.  So since I had nothing else to do I thought I'd get shoot some pics (this is only one :D).

 I love taking pictures of flowers...but this one is my favorite pictures.

 The family retreat was held at a Christmas Tree farm.  They had a lot of animals from ducks to horses!

Here are two baby goats that I fell in love with.

 This is another cute animal I fell in love with...isn't she CUTE?!?!

 Sydney and Mari posed for a picture at the end of a LONG line of Easter baskets.

 This is who I had charge over today :D  We had a great time finding Easter eggs together!  This was after she had found all ten.

OK...this is my favorite picture of a horse.  It's almost like he did this on purpose!

This Wednesday we will be going to the hockey playoffs, so I'll be posting pictures about that too!

Here are some of the pictures I posted above...but I messed with some of them!

*Hope you all have a sweet Saturday night!*

"Going Home"- Wissmann Family

I hope you all enjoy this song from the Wissmann Family!

"Looking for Jesus to come any day" - Wissmann Family

More pictures {heeheehee}

I know I've post A LOT of pictures, but I got a new camera from my grandma, so I've been playing around with it :D You know how it is...you get a new camera and it becomes your new best friend. OK...well maybe only for me. Anyhoo...enjoy all these pictures [grin]

Sydney has become a BeAuTiFuL young lady of the Lord!

Mari loves to be around Sydney 24/7!

Sydney loves to smell the Lord's beautiful handy-work (OK I admit this picture was posed...but it turned out descent).

Toby loves God's handy-work too...he had just caught the poor butterfly. Luckily I was able to save his "captive" (praise God)!

I love the face she's making in this picture!

Sydney takes picture taking very seriously!

I told her to act goofy...oh the faces 5 year-olds can make at a camera

I'm not sure if I like this picture...I think I do. Let me know what you think

Notice anything cool about this shot...(hint: look inside my ring) Tell me what you see

We were at a pizza place and I was bored. Now luckily I had my camera, a clean napkin, and a pen. Those three can create a result like this picture :D

This picture is for you all...notice anything in my hair? I'll try to get better pictures up on here soon, but this will have to do for now.

*Have a great Wednesday night!*

PICTURES!!

OK...I know there aren't any pictures of my new hair-do, but there are pictures of what's been happening in our family lately :D Don't worry I'll get the hair pictures on here SOON!! But for now...ENJOY :D

These are the flowers my dad bought for me

My friends and I had to make banana splits with our FEET!!

My friend Kassi was in control of the ice cream

Even though Kassi's feet was in the ice cream container...that didn't stop HUNGRY teenagers :D But the three of us LOADED the ice cream with pecans, chocolate syrup, and whipped cream...YUMMY! (Far left to far right: Hanna, me, Kassi)

Since Kassi, Hanna, and I were the 1st place winners we decorated our feet. Hanna's is on the far left, mine is in the middle, and Kassi's is on the far right.

I had the BEST 16th birthday EVER! We had some friends over and the we all went to the park in our neighborhood...well all except our parents :D

This is my friend Rick...Izzy loved to be around him.

Rick's sister was burying her twin brother

We had dinner with my dad's aunt and uncle who live in England. For dinner we took them to the Magic Time Machine in San Antonio.

This is what our waitress (who happened to be Dora the Explorer) did because it was my birthday (well that night my birthday was 3 days away).

Look what happened to Sydney the day after my birthday! She wiped out pretty bad on her scooter and mildly fractured her growth plate.

*Hope you all have a blessed Monday!*

The truth

Ok...now I can have fun and tell you all what the strips in my hair REALLY ARE :D  Are you ready?

I've got feather extensions!  Yep you heard me...feather extensions!  Sorry I haven't posted any pictures yet, but we haven't taken my pictures yet.

I've honestly felt kind of guilty not telling you the truth in the actual post...but I thought I'd have some fun :D

Pictures Coming Soon!

*I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday!*

Our family is growing AGAIN!

This is Mari, she is an absolute cuite and is VERY fun to be around!

Plus VERY, VERY active

 This is Isabella (Izzy) she is very strong willed, but is an absolute cutie as well (unless she wakes up on the wrong side of the crib!).

She loves to say "uh-oh"!  I caught her saying it after she dropped her rubber duck.

The Lord apparently needs us to continue with foster care so we are now a family of six!  We seriously thought we were done, but God turned the table on us (I just love it when He does that!).

*I hope you all have a fun and blessed weekend!*

My new experience

Since I'm turning 16 in three days [grin] my mom decided to let me do something CRAZY!!

You see yesterday I went to get my hair done, and I've always wanted hi-lights, so I talked my mom into it.  Well...actually our hair stylist talked my mom into it.  My face just expressed EXTREME JOY!  So I was able to pick the colors I wanted to have put in my hair...keeping in mind that these will be permanent and that I'll have to live with them.  So I chose 3 colors...are you ready to hear what they are?  The colors are purple, blue, and...green.  It's a good thing that it's not April Fools day today, I'm serious!

Just thought I'd share about my new experience!  I'll be getting my 16 year pictures taken, so I'll have to post them on here so you all can see my new hi-lights :D

*I hope you all have a BLESSED weekend!*

Blessings,
Ali
