Tuesday’s News

I had a piano lesson today and am very excited to continue practicing it. It is such a joy. My Grandma took me (well, drove me) there.

Next week my Great Aunt Ginger and Great Uncle John are coming up from AZ. They are such wonderful people. I can't wait to see them. Hopefully, we'll be able to play tennis with them sometime. Tennis is a very fun game to play; especially with my family. I expect we will do lots with them and have a really great time. I better keep you all updated with what's happening.

The other day, our family went to the Sleadd's house and played on their zip line. After that we walked around in their pool for a while. You see, they didn't have much water in it then. But now it's probably filled up pretty good and high. Pools are usually fairly nice in the summer.

Devin and me are currently working on the classic skit, "Who's On First," and will perform it in about a month from now. It's actually quite thrilling to practice it with Devin because he's so funny. In any case, after we perform it, I want to put it on this blog. So be sure to remind me later.

Alright, enjoy this beautiful day that God has given us.

Good Morning...or...Good Evening?

It's 1:00 AM as I post this. I am going to sleep now. (Do I sound like Victoria E. or what?)

You probably don't care that I am very tired. It's my fault really. I should get up EARLY and go to bed EARLY. (If you know what mean)

So tomorrow I'll get up early and have a full day. After all, today is all that we have. We can't be sure of tomorrow and yesterday is behind us. Keep this in mind. Don't push stuff aside that you can accomplish today. We feel proud of ourselves and have more self esteem when we finish what we've started.

This past week, I have been faithfully reading my Bible every morning. It has been so good for me. I would encourage you to do the same.

Well I better hit the hay...Nighty-Night..

:) In Christ,
~David

Stuff and more Stuff

So much has been going on since I last posted. Something fantastic is that I am now getting piano lessons from a really wonderful teacher. My Grandma is paying for them. She is really nice to all of her grand kids including me. So, yeah, that is totally cool.

What else? Well, there is a big colonial performance that is happening in a couple of months. I get to be in that and it should be very fun seeing as most of my cousins will be in it as well. Of course, it will take some time to memorize the many lines I have but it will be worth the effort when everything is over and done with.

Lately, I have also been busy with schoolwork. It is tough but I am learning so much and I know that in the long run it will pay off quite satisfactorily. Learning never is actually finished though. There are many adults who are still learning things even when they probably know ten times as much as I do.

Speech has been keeping me on my toes too. I am diligently looking for some subject to share with others so as to continue my speech skills. In fact, I already have much to give and should start by sharing what I already know. Yeah, that seems logical enough.

Okay, gotta' go now,
Bye.

Scheduling?

Okay, so here's the dealio. I woke up today feeling very sore (from running yesterday). So I woke up at about 7:45. That is quite late but don't bother. Anyway, after that I shuffled to breakfast. After I had gorged myself, I discovered my mom staring at a (quite large) schedule. "What's that mom?" I asked casually. "It's our new schedule." she replied. "Oh, right. Well, what do I do first?" "Chores." "Okay."

After I had done my chores, I found myself staring at lots of schoolwork (which I need to finish after this post). However, I did pull through and I am actually almost finished with it all. Although it was a challenge, I am looking forward to Friday (I like challenges I guess) and will post then. That post will be better than this one. But I guess that's just me.

I got a haircut.

A couple of days ago I received a haircut from a barber and before he started cutting away we said something like this...

Barber: "So how do you want your hair?"

Me: "Uh, well, I just want you to cut some off around the edges but not as much on top."

Barber: "Right. How do you want your bangs?"

Me: "Oh I don't want them too short either."

Barber: "Okay so you want everything short but not too short. Right?"

Me: "Yeah. I guess so."

Barber: "Alright."

Me: "You know just do whatever you want. I don't care! It will grow back pretty quick anyway. You do what you think is best."

Today I did some shootin'!

As you can see, we (grandpa and other friends) were shooting

with a small gun. It is a twenty-two of some sort.

I'm not all that great on guns (as you can see).

Here is what we were targeting. Targets! Ha! That was a funny one.

So, What Have I Been Up Too???

Well let me tell ya!

First of all, I've been doing Omnibus with some of my cousin's and Uncle (teacher). Also, I've been trying to do apologetics when there's time (although that should be first). And I have been trying to listen to my iPod more. Working outside is something else. And... piano along with lessons from Alex on the mandoline. Hmmm... What else... Ah! I know! Writing class. I still gotta do the homework for that. Laundry for family is another thing. And of course, I have to find time to eat something here and there if ya know what I mean! Ha! Sooo... I will see you at Speech Club or somewhere else in the world at one point or another. Oh! Yes, I have to work on my duo that I'm doing with Kaila. That is a tough one. Okay... Goodbye Now.

Camping, tennis, school, and maybe more...

Yeah, lots of things have been happening lately. As you can see on my sisters blog http://myladydestiny.blogspot.com/2007/09/adventure-of-kruses-camping-trip.html we went camping which was very enjoyable although it was a bit chilly most of the time. Well... all the time! And... hmm. Oh yes, tennis has been fun these past few days. Ya see, I play out on the asphalt (which is right outside the house) with my younger siblings and we have such a grand time! Devin and me really get into it and sometimes lose the ball by hitting it so hard that when it comes back to Earth it usually dives into a bush or a tree. In fact, today I hit one ball in the gutter which goes around the roof of the house! And no, I did not try whatsoever to get that fuzzy green ball!

School has been goin' pretty good too! Actually, to be more accurate, it has been going wonderful although I haven't been getting that much sleep recently (It's my fault for staying up posting this late too as a matter of fact). I've been learning about ancient civilization and it has been quite interesting! Bottom Line: It's All Good!

Since I've been going on and on about school maybe I'll just tell ya that I did another section of Mr. Pudewa's writing class today too (group C). I'll post my story later if you really want me to. Until then, good night to you all! God Bless.

Celebrate!

Yes, Celebrate! I am pretty sure that I get to go to Portland OR. Why? Well because I get to that's why. Oh, perhaps you mean what am I going to. Well... it's the second biggest meeting in my parents business. Mannaquest! And I know that it will be a lot of fun!

So, that's the latest news. Okay? Okay then. Farewell. Have a good night's rest.

Dr. Greg Bahnsen

I have been listening to Dr. Greg L. Bahnsen lately as well as reading his book titled "Pushing the Antithesis" which Uncle Kenny told me to get a while back and read. He probably (most definitely) likes Dr. Greg Bahnsen just as much, if not more, than I do. Today I've been listening to Dr. Bahnsen's debate with Dr. Gordon Stein (an atheist) over "Atheism vs. Theism". I'm listening to it right now actually. I'm just finishing it up even though it is pretty late. It's so phenomenally awesome! Dr. Bahnsen uses apologetics so well! I hope that you can listen to it someday soon! If I see you again then maybe I can give you a copy. Well... maybe.

A dead bird and some other pictures.

This is an unlucky bird that I found. What happened was that I was walking along side my Grandpa outside when something fluttering on the ground caught our gaze. We looked down only to find that a small helpless bird was flapping its wings for the last time. "Sniffle". We stared at the small creature a moment and then it just lay there... motionless. "Sneeze". I picked it up and began walking towards the house. I came in only to find that every one's eye's were suddenly on me (well, my hand anyways). I told them the tragic story and then took a couple pictures for you all to see. Realizing that my mother was waiting for me to come inside so that we could begin school I gave it to the cats to feast on (yes, it is a sad story). They were looking thin and since the bird was not much value for anything else I thought the cats could make some use of it in some way. (I never could find it again).

And so ends the tragic story of the bird that lost its life today. "Sniffle".

Poor Bird."Sniffle"
Here's a picture of the whole garden. My mom wanted me to show how big it was altogether.I had to take two pictures because I couldn't fit it all in one.
I posted this picture of these strawberries on my last post but they looked so good that I thought I'd share it one last time. They look so delicious! Don't they?
An apple that I am looking forward to eating. (Some day).

Hey Alexa, look at this picture! It's not much competition to your fantastic pictures but it is fairly descent.
A picture of one of our many cats. Could be target practice some day.

(Although, we have had her for about 3 years now so it'll probably never happen so there's really nothing to worry about). Ok? Ok.More flowers.
A little blurry.

So wherever you are...

Good morning! Good evening! Good afternoon! And Goodnight!

Yard Work, Grandparents, and little cousin Noah.

I've been doing a lot of yard work these past couple days. On Monday I mowed the yard. It was very dusty. Today I weed eated and trimmed a couple trees. The problem is that I did mess up pretty bad on one of them and that I don't know what my Grandparents will say. Oh yeah, tomorrow our Grandparents are coming home. Yea! I hope they like the yard and all. Well, I'll find out tomorrow. Goodbye!

Oh, I almost forgot about little cousin Noah! Yesterday I got to see Him for the first time! He's so cute. Now I wish that I could have another little brother too. Jonathan is little I guess, but... he's not THAT small anymore (He's gained a few pounds since birth). I sure hope I can see Noah again soon, very soon.
That's all for now! So long everybody!

At the park.

Last night we watched the Goldman's play at the park here in Central Point. They did a superb job! It was a lot of Fun! It was fun because after they performed we got to watch a movie.

Here's my sister Abigail with her cousin Mailee playing chess (well... beginning to). We all played many games of chess that night (with my chess board and my cousin Collin's chessboard). Here is mine below.Here is my brother Devin and cousin Ellie playing chess. Chess is probably the number one game that many of us play now (for me at least). I'll have to play YOU some time.

Now here's what a REAL smile looks like!

Yeah! My cousin William will show ya how it's done! Me and my cousin Kaila were having quite the Theological discussion, and I just had to take a quick pic, although Kaila might not be to thrilled about this particular one.

Bottom Line: I had quite a pleasant time and I wish you could of been there too!

Goodnight everyone! I'll be sleeping now. Zzzz, Zzzz, Zzzz

August!

Yes! It's August! Is that good or bad? Both. It's all how ya look at it you see. It could be good in that "Speech Club" is coming. And... it could be good in that it's probably going to be the hottest and most scorching month in all of Summer which is great for swimming you see (sorry if you don't have a pool). It could be bad when thinking that 2007 is coming to an end. But then just switch it full circle right back to the good and think to yourself, "Wow! I sure have grown in so many area's this past year and achieved so much with God!" Yes, God. A loving an awesome God!

That's what I've been thinking lately. I've been thinking, "why can't I get anything done! I only posted on my blog once last month! (Sorry). People probably think there's nothin' really happening in my life anymore." But than I think to myself, "stay consistent and it won't happen again." So today I've really been at work. Trying to get as much done as possible. It's August now and it really is time to start doing things! Bye for now!

Sorry for feeling so depressed. I promise my next post will be a joyful one Ok? Ok.

This Months Happenings

The 4th was pretty crazy here! Alot happened! As you may of seen on some of my relatives blogs. But I gotta' admit that it was alot of fun! Yeah. I still remember all of it. Well, most of it.

So... what now? Hmmm. Get back to work! That's what I need to do! Gotta get movin' and workin'. Yeah! On all kinds o' stuff. For me Summer is a chance to get back up there with everyone else. Ha ha.

Well, gotta' go go go!
Bye!

"The Big Trip" Pt.2

Hey everyone! Sorry that I haven’t posted in a while it’s just that I’ve been so busy lately. If you know what I mean, with summer and all. So, here ya go! Check it out and tell me what you think!

After getting off the long plane ride in Charlotte (which was on Tuesday) we got a blue rental car and drove up to Ridgecrest where the conference was going to be held at. Actually... come to think of it, we went straight to bed and then in the morning drove up. While we were driving and noticing the North Carolina Mountains and its terrain I realized how similar the land was to our state of Oregon. Everything was so luscious and green. Except it was All Over the place! Driving down the freeway you could barely even get a glimpse of the towns because the trees were so dense and close together! Maybe it is… just a slight bit greener than OR. No offense.

Once at our destination we checked in, unpacked, and began meandering about through their bookstore which they had setup; and I think, held all the books. However, I probably would have gotten more books if they were all free. But obviously, they weren’t. You know, since were talking about books, here are some of them that I purchased while I was there.

It wouldn’t have been possible if my Grandma hadn't gave me, Kaila, and Uncle Kenny each $100. She’s very kindhearted and I hope to be as gentle & polite as her someday.

Like I said up above, North Carolina is beautiful! Including the towns. Here's a few pictures of 'em even though their not very high quality. (You see, it's because of my terrible camera.

Nice House!

This is my future car. Ha ha! But hey! You never know!

God Bless! (And I will be posting the last part soon)!

"The Big Trip" Pt. 1

Well, first and foremost that must be said is "where did I go and who did I go with?" The answer - Uncle Kenny, Kaila, and I all went to a "Super Worldview Conference" hosted by Gary DeMar in North Carolina. And it was a whole lot of fun! There! Now that that's cleared up lets move on.

Planes? What about planes? Oh yes, now I remember. It's that I haven't been on one for about 7 years. Yeah, that's right. And it really was the thrill of a lifetime!!! For the first hour that is. Ha ha. But I have to admit that it was quite fun. Honest.

What else? Hmmm. Ah, hah! I know! The Conference and some pictures! But I'll do that later. Okay? Okay.

It's 10:00. But I just got back from the East coast so it's actually 1:00! Don't worry though, I'll be back! I promise! Goodnight and Godbless you all!

More of My Boring ol' Life.

Someone said I should keep posting so that's what I'll do. What should I post I wonder? I know!How about some of todays comings and goings.

I spent most of today mowing the field as you can see here. It took around 2 1/2 hrs.

I also got a little sunburnt.

Here's one picture.

and another...

and yet another...

I'll just put these pictures on so that this post won't look so tiny.

Yeah, this is me millions of years ago (or is it part of me)? Hmmm...

Sure have a lot of hair!

Hello!

Hi everyone! Look I know that I haven't posted for a while but I've been doing a lot of different things lately.You probably have too, (maybe) I mean now that it's Almost summer. It sure is getting hot out! Recently I've been plaing piano, doing the garden, listening to many different sermons and much more! Bye!
