Pencerpoo :)

Just finished this drawing of Spencer... He's quite a bit younger in the picture than he is now, which is hopefully obvious :P

Drawing eyes

Every once in a while I'll try and draw a person and end up crumpling up the paper and deciding I'm never doing that again... And then after a while doing the same thing... Over and over again. :P so I decided I'm just going to keep practicing now even if it doesn't look anything like who I'm trying to draw, which seems to be what's happening :P oh well... I'm trying to draw parts of faces by themselves first (or at least as well as trying to draw entire faces, like my tobymac drawing :P) So here are a couple of my eyes along with the pictures I copied them from...

Hi again :) (and awkward and awesome)

I haven't blogged in soooo long :P so I thought I would do an awkward and awesome post. three in a row now :P I should be able to think of a lot since I haven't done this in months though ;)

Awkward:
My dad going to see lecrae without me! :O (act like men conference), my people drawings. when your brother decides who you are going to marry and proceeds to tell your friends... :| getting attacked by a cat who also likes to wake you up by jumping on you and biting your feet... Which kind of falls under attacking. trying to memorize the first four chapters of Romans in two weeks... Yeah probably not going to happen :/ when you want to put a ":)" or a ":P" in an essay. when you answer someone who wasn't talking to you. Happens way too often. Trying to make funny videos when you have no ideas as to what they should be about.

Awesome:
Going to Elim. going to friends houses. Flip flop throwing contests. Lecrae's new album Church clothes 2! Christmas parties. putting up the Christmas tree. Spencer calling me "Meny" :D scrabble, waisting time on Pinterest and Instagram ;) sewing a hoodie. Jamie Grace's new song Fighter. online Christmas shopping. learning how to do cool braids. Learning Tenth Avenue North songs on the piano. Making videos that will hopefully find their way to YouTube :) baking cookies. hot chocolate. Anything chocolate actually. :D christian t shirts. quiz meets!


Here are a couple of pictures, just because I felt like posting them :)

I tried to draw tobymac... TRIED. :P

awkward and awesome

Awkward:

Playing a game of roll-the-water-bottle-to-the-other-person and accidentally chucking the water bottle half way across the street// mouthing the words to a song you're listening to and someone taking a picture of you// Knowing what you want to say and then forgetting right when you try to say it// saying (out loud), "oh no, where did I put my sunglasses?!" and having someone answer, "um... They're on your head."

Awesome:

Seeing two MORE alligators while driving!! (kinda freaky though to think you could be walking on a sidewalk beside water full of alligators!)// blogging :)// memorizing 10 verses of Matthew a day (or at least trying to) :P// going on a safari at Animal Kingdom at Disney World and seeing so many different animals! (pictures coming as soon as I find the cord for the camera...)// another camera lens that zooms in way more (and isn't broken) ;)// having someone draw a cartoon picture of you

Pictures!

Since my camera lens broke, I have had to use my iPod for pictures... Here are some pictures from yesterday. Sorry they're all mixed up... for some reason it won't let me move them around properly. :/


this little cutie can sit now!



Here are some pictures of a parade we saw... Benjamin was so excited to see all of the characters! :)



and the other picture just disappeared...



 

Me and Benjamin in a car race ride... can you tell he's excited?







he refused to smile... I took about five pictures of his grumpy face here. :P








The fireworks were awesome!

awkward and awesome

I got this idea from Emma-lee. I needed something to do to get me on the blog more often, and this looked like lots of fun! :) So, here is my first awkward and awesome post!

Awkward:
twisting your ankle and having to hop around on one foot// realizing that the first part of your essay is due in two days and you haven't even started it// camera lens breaking. (not really awkward, but definitely not awesome!)// going through a store when they are playing less than appropriate music and then having it stuck in your head

Awesome:
Florida!//going to Gatorland (I'll post pictures soon!)// going to a candy store with nerd boxes a foot tall ( I'm not exaggerating!)// seeing cute little lizzards in the backyard// listening to TobyMac// double chocolate chip pancakes// seeing three aligators while driving near the water!// drawing the cutest miniature horse ever!!// finding a pin that is exactly like the grape soda pin from the movie Up

This picture is from our last trip to Florida, but I haven't uploaded the pictures from this year yet, so it will have to do...
I think I might start doing a post called Saturday's Sketches (it's the best I could come up with) so hopefully I will be able to post again on Saturday!

Photoshoot with Emma-lee

On New Years day, Emma-lee and I did a photo shoot. (Sorry it's a bit late, but I couldn't get the pictures to upload...) Here are the pictures we took :)
