Back to Blogging

I want to blog more. My mom want's me to blog more, too. She wants me to do it for school-work, but I just like doing it for fun. I don't keep a journal, so I'm pretty bad about keeping up with things like this... but I am going to start posting more often. I'm determined to start blogging more often.

One of the reasons why I haven't been blogging lately is because my baby brother was born in March. He was born on St. Patrick's day. He is a cutie and no one can keep their eyes off him. My big brother and I help out a lot with the baby; but I don't mind it because I love him. Even my mom has been having a hard time blogging often because she's so busy with the baby. Mommy recently posted about Kohen on her blog.

Mommy is re-designing her blog and will probably finish it sometime this week. I am hopefully going to re-design my blog this month or sometime this year. I think my mom is going to help me do it. She did her food blog this year and told us we could be her guinea pigs. I can't wait to get my design up and going.

We are going to be taking photagraphy this school year. I have already put a few of my photos on mommy's blog. I really like photagraphy and am looking forward to learning more about it in school. So, I've been getting on PICNIK . You can morph your pictures on it, and it's really fun. Mommy made a tutorial on Picnik this month.


Well,
I'd better wrap things up. I'm glad that I got to post again.
I could not have made this post without mommy. She's a great
mommy and I love her with all my heart. :)

Excitement!

Greetings all the people in bloggie world that read this little bloggie here in the middle of no-where. :) Well, tomorrow my mom hosts the Carnival of Homeschooling! I am very excited to read it when she is finished with it. Today's post is about my little baby brother! We have less than 6 weeks (unless he comes early) to go before he gets here!



Can you see his little face? He looks a lot older now, I'm sure. That was a long time ago!

Well, I will post soon!

Unicorny

This is one of many - many - many unicorns that I draw. I have tons of them because it is one of my favorite things to draw. My mom used to draw them when she was a little girl, too. She says that all little girls go through a "unicorn phase". So what. I still like them.

Sorry I have not been updating regularly, but my mom is giving me a CODE!!!! to get in here and post on my own!!!! YIPEEEEEE!!!! So now I don't have to wait on her to scan everything. Plus, she gave me her old computer because Daddy got her a laptop for Christmas. And now I have all her old photos. And I love playing with them in Fast Stone.

Have a Merry Christmas if I don't post before then, but I'll try!

Because my mom is slow...

I have had things to post for a long time that I keep emailing my mom and it sits in her box forever. She has over 1,000 emails all the time and never can get them all cleaned out. She's doing that today. She found this one in her box and let me post it. It was a field trip we took last school year at the end of the year. It was really fun.

The bob bullock history museum

Hi! Today, I am going to write about a field trip that we had this month. This time, we went to a MUSEUM! I love history museums! We got to see all kinds of Indian and Cowboy stuff! We even saw a skeleton from La Salle's voyage and a bunch of artifacts from his ship that was stuck in a sand bank in the Gulf of Mexico. I think the skeleton was real, too! They also had a replica of the "Goddess of Liberty" (ya right!) that is on top of the capitol building in Austin. Her face looks really freaky up close. It was meant to be seen from far away, so when you are looking at her up close she looks funny. We also saw some Chain Maille. We had lunch there (it was really good) in the cafe and sat on the balcony. My mom took lots of pictures (even though you really aren't supposed to do that in the museum). We loved the Texas movie. They have real lightning and mist - and a rattle snake in your chair that scares you to death! We spent all day at the museum and still didn't finish looking at everything. We never even got to the third floor! We'll have to finish it next time! I'm sure we'll go back again this year. It is the best museum ever.

My Eye in Art

I like to draw and love art. I enjoy making things in Paint because I don't have any other cool art programs other than a trial version of Corel Painter Essentials. While I was at my Pawpaw's house, I created this bitmap image of my eye. I have a birthmark in my eye called a nevus. It is a mole on my iris. My eyes are blue, but there is this brown spot in my eyes and my mom says that it is the spot on me that is "hers". She has brown eyes and my dad has blue eyes.

My brother has been putting artwork on his blog, so I thought I would share some of mine, too. We both love to make artwork.

Happy belated fourth of July!

Scrapbooking

I'm in a club called the Keepers of the Faith. It is like a Girl Scout club - but is more Christian based. We earn badges like Girl Scouts and have a sash to pin them on. One of the badges we can get is for scrapbooking. We had a meeting last week and I earned my badge by doing a paper-bag scrapbook. My mom helped me with mine. Here's a picture of me with my badge and my book.

Growing in Grace is hosting a scrapbooking contest and they are giving away a kit worth 100$. I hope that I can win it, because I really love to do scrapbooking with my mom.


Love in Him,
Morgan

Great Tunes

My mom has a food blog called Gathering Manna. At the bottom of her food blog if you scroll all the way down and hit the 'play button', you can listen to her favorite music. I love her little music thingamabob in there. It shuffles music so you don't have to pick them all the time! It is awesome. The site she uses to create it is a pain to use. Also, it had some tacky advertisements. So be warned if you have young kids - I wasn't even allowed in the room while my mom was making the music box. Maybe she'll let me put her song box at the bottom of MY blog?! I'll ask and see!

"Tune For Jack - Lemon Jelly" is a really cool song. Lemon Jelly is a British band that plays 'electronic' music. Sting is an older singer that has some great love songs. She didn't put any Zoe Girl in her music box. I really like them. You can go to their site and listen to clips of their songs. I love Zoe Girls' website. I have it linked on my sidebar.

Enjoy the music!

In Him,
