Little Report!

How is life going for you? Life is going alright for me.

We got back last night from singing in Marshfield, MO. We have sang in Salina, KS, Olathe, KS, and Marshfield MO. We had a little Christmas program set up and we sang the same songs (except for the congergational songs that dad changed everywhere we went) every place we sang.
Did you have a good Christmas? On Christmas Eve was our day. Dad worked some and then came home early and we hung out around the house and then went to two Chirstmas Eve services and then we out to eat with my Uncle Jonathan and Aunt Darla then came home and opened our Christmas presents. Christmas Day we had Christmas with my dad's side of the family. The 26th with my mom's. Then New Year's Day is with my Grandma Englund's family we have a Christmas gathering then. ;)

On the way back from Marshfield yesterday we stopped and saw my Grandma and Grandmpa Englund who are in Columbus, Kansas at a cabin for this week. Tomorrow is their anniversary. I know they can not read this but, Happy Anniversary! :)

We are possibly going to go down with my Uncle Eric and Aunt Ashlee and spend the night in the cabin then go to the McGhee thing, but I do not know if Eric and Ash are even going. :)
Pictures might be posted later. We will see. If you all want me too, please let me know!

Have a blessed New Year!

Hello, 2009!

Luanna

Ho, Ho, Ho!

Merry Chistmas! These pics mom took! :) Enjoy!

How is everyone doing? I am good. Today is our last day of school and then we get a two week vacation! YES! Maybe you guys do not believe it but lately I have had lots of school. 6th grade is probably not my favortie grade! :) I wrote another Library Research Report this year and have been working on it recently. Today we are going to go to Wal-mart (and some other places) and get my folder to put my report in and put pictures on the front and be done! ;)

Dad is gone right now and is in St. Louis but will be back tonight. He was there for his job working at a hospital called Ranken Jordan working. He left EARLY yesterday morning and will be back tonight! :)

Last Sunday we sang in Salina. We went down Saturday and liked our hotel! :) It was new and Esther and I got to sleep in our own queen size beds! :)

Tomorrow morning is the Wright family breakfast/Chirstmas at Ryan's. Tomorrow night we are going to Bible Study.

Monday and Tuesday Mom and I are going to do some last minute shopping. This year she has done some on the internet but we have a few people to still shop for.

Christmas Eve Dad works but will probably get out early..we will do our Chirstmas then and then either go hear my aunt Darla sing or something.

Christmas Day is with the Wrights then the day after Christmas with the Englunds!

The guys are cooking breakfast for us at the Englunds!

Travis leaves the 27th of January for training and we will all miss him!

This is the Chirstmas pictures of us girls that Mom took and then later maybe I will post some of the pictures I took of Esther and Julianna!

Well, everyone have a good Chirstmas! I don't know if I will be back on here until after Chirstmas

Merry Chistmas!

Christmas Program kidos!

Whew! Have I not been on here for a while! A bunch of stuff has gone on! What am I to tell you?

Tuesday, December 9th: Homeschool Christmas Program. Esther, Julianna, Luanna, Riley, Kyra, and Aubrie. We had songs, poems, skits, and I narrated the Chirstmas Story. Light refreshments were held afterwards!

Thursday Night: We went to an American Girl Party at the Doll Cradle up by where my uncle works.

Tomorrow evening we are leaving for Salina because we are singing Sunday Morning. So, Sharmen and the six of us will be gone for that time. We also have other things going on tomorrow as well.

A Paragraph

This is a paragraph I did for Creative Writing in school:


A Good Friend
It is good to have a friend. Do you have a friend? You can share your thoughts, secrets, memories, and feelings with a friend. You need a friend who is honest, nice, does things that are ok to do, there for you and cares about you. You can have sleepoves, playdays, and just have have fun! If you don't have a friend, find one that is like you and needs a friend.

Sarah Palin and McCain

We found out Sunday night that Palin and McCain were suppose to be in Lee's Summit, MO at 10:30 am Monday. Dad called Sharmen and she said she would go. I called my Grandma W. and she said she would go too. So at 6:30ish in the morning I was up getting ready along with Esther and Dad. (Mom really wanted to go but she just did not think it would have been a good idea to take the two youngest.) We went by and picked up Grandma and headed to Mo. We got there and Dad dropped Grandma and us girls off and we went to look for Sharmen, and Great-Grandma and Orville. Vernon and Joan were there too. Sharmen, Esther, Dad, Joan and I went to find a bathroom. We went inside a place. Somehow we got word that a police had come by where the rest of our group was telling them to go up to the outside overflow...we found out a little later that Sarah and John would be coming out to speak to all of us outside. We waited around outside cold and stuff and then finally the big moment happened. Sharmen, Dad, Esther and I were on our tippy toes trying to see them. Signs were in the air and it was a litttle hard to see..then Sarah and Todd Palin split to one side of the crowd and John to the other..we got within 25 to 30 feet of the "BABE" as Rush Libaugh calls Sarah. We were trying to get as close to her as we could but it was hard. By the way Sarah and John came and spoke to the crowd first before going in and talking to the crowd inside.

We all got buttons that said something on them except Dad, Great-Grandma and Orville. Esther and I got the same they say "You Go Girl" "Women for Palin."

If McCain and Palin get into office then Todd Palin will be the First Dude!!! :-)

Well, Talk to you all later!

Hmmm...

I wonder if I will get any comments asking where, how, or saying post pictures when I say I got to go see Sarah Palin and John McCain in person this morning.....well, I guess I will wait until I get any comments and see if ANYONE wants me to post pictures and tell you more about it....

Bye for now!
Luanna ;-)

Hi, everyone!

Hi, How is everyone doing? I am good.

School starts for me and my sister September 2. Yes, I know it might be a little late..schools usally might start here in August, but since we are homeschooled and Karson just being born and all, we are starting a little later.

I am on my Aunt Sharmen's laptop right now..her new one.

Karson is doing good. So is mom, she is just overly tired...getting up with Karson every little bit in the night with him and can not get very much sleep.

My uncle Eric and aunt Ashlee (my mom's brother) have a blog now...here is the blog address: www.landofenglund.wordpress.com.

Well, comment and let me know what everyone has been up to!!

Love,
Luanna

Some Friendship Quotes

Here are some friendship quotes that were on my igoogle page different days.

Just thought I would share them with you!

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself-and especially to feel, or not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at any moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is. - Jim Morrison

My friend, if I could give you one thing, I would give you the abiliy to see yourself as others see you...then you would realize what a truly special person you are. - Barbara A. Billings

My father always used to say that, when you die, if you've got five real friends, then you've had a great life. - Lee Iacocca

A friend is the person who knows all about you and still loves you. - Elbert Hubbert This one is todays!

Well, I will let you go for now! Karson and Mom are doing good and so is the rest of the family! We got some school supplies yesterday and so now I am all ready to start and we do not start tell next month, the day after Labor Day!

As Tigger would say, "Tata for now!"
