Hello March

Hello guys. I'm pretty excited cause I'm posting my February Highlights. yeahhhh this month was very busy, but exciting so I'm pumped to tell you about it ;)

February Highlights

Sunny and Warm Days with Friends

It's been reaaally warm around here. All month it's been 70 degrees. Even though I love winter I really liked it being warm too. UNTIL I GOT A MOSQUITO BITE. Anywho, we walked that cute dog (the mayor's dog. yah we're cool) and it was awesome. Then, we strolled around town with a scooter and a bike. it was like back to my childhood days when I scootered everywhere. seriously scooters are so fun though.

Valentines Day Banquet

Our church band does a show every Valentines Day where the youth perform songs from different genres in the olden days. You know cause it'd be like Throwback Tuesday to the old people ;) So we did old gospel songs in the Grand Opry. We dressed up in country dresses, boots, and lots of rhinestones. Before we performed we served them with a delicious dinner. It was a lot of work, but sooo fun. The best song was He's Got the Whole World which had a very interesting twist in it. Please check it out on Youtube right here. It's really good. And if you watch it, tell me if you liked it ;)

IHOP and Mall Adventures.

Once Sarah and Mila finished their book we wanted to celebrate by going to IHOP. I'm pretty sure it was my first time going there. and it was really goodddd. After that we went to the mall. We have this thing about going to stores, trying on weird clothes that you'd probably never see us in, and taking pictures together. We've done ugly Christmas sweaters, old lady clothes, suits, and then we did dresses. I was in a black lace dress, Sarah was in a white sparkly dress (we all agreed she looked like a three year old with her pink pants under them), Mila was in a romper (that was funny. she looked like she just got our of jail), and Ellie was in a really long black dress (and she just got back from prom lol not really. it looked like it though). So there you are, now you know what we do at malls. #secretrevealed

Piano Festival

Although it was very nerveracking, it was fun. Basically piano festival is where you play for judges two songs that you've been practicing for about 5 months and they judge you. For the five years that I've been doing it I've got a superior (the highest score you can get) every year. This sixth year I got another superior. So, I was really excited. Danny and Sarah got a superior too!! After our festival we went to Golden Corral. AHH FOOD. it was sooooo good. I was glad to get another year of festival done.

Gymnastics

So two things that are really cool happened this month concerning gymnastics. Firstly, I went to my first gymnastics meet. EEP it was awesome. If I do competitive gymnastics this fall I will compete the level I got to see. I didn't expected it to be as advanced so I'm really excited to do all those skills. Lordwilling I'll be competing this fall. AHHH anywho that was really fun. Secondly, I did an ariel (no handed cartwheel) for the FIRST TIME this month. All by myself in my backyard. I was super encouraged by that because I barely even practiced with my coaches. So it's kinda weird that I would just GET it. but it's really exciting. :D oh one more thing hehe :P Every week we practice any skill we want on the trampoline (a perfect time to do my front flip) but I was scared to because I fail at it a lot. One day I told myself to do it so I can get better and I did. It was a lot better than I thought. I'm finally starting to get a hang of it, but it's a very hard skill.

Roadshow Concert

Every year we go to this concert that has tons of Christian artists. We got to see Jordan Feliz, Passion, Rend Collective, Franchesca Battistelli, Family Force 5, and Steven Curtis Chapman. You might've not heard of Family Force 5 but you should check them out. They have great music to dance too ;P everyone else I really enjoyed listening too. I really liked Franchesca Battistelli, Family Force 5, and Steven Curtis Chapman. :)

Random fact: our youth group is going to see NF (a Christian rapper that IS AWESOME)!! I'm so excited. Look him up dudes. Therapy Session, How Could You Leave Us, and Mansion. Please.
YOU WILL BE PLEASED.

17 Facts about my Sissy

Welcome to Bernie's Random Ramblings

Although Sarah's birthday was a week ago, I wanted to make a special post about her like I always do.

17 Facts About Sarah (my sissy)

1. She has a love for mustard.

I hate mustard. But she loves it. She even puts it on her ham sandwich guys. ew.

2. Sarah doesn't really care about what shoes she wears.

Sarah has two pairs of shoes. One she adores and wears all the time. Yesterday we went out to town and I saw her coming out with a striped shirt and polka dot sneakers. lol that's okay though. I won't judge anybody who doesn't match.

3. She ALWAYS has either a notebook or book in her hand wherever she goes.

Even when we go to church she brings a book with her "just in case."

4. She's like the best big sis ever.

Seriously big sister's out there, you don't know what it's like to be a little sister. ANYTHING and she'll do it for me.

5. She has a love for Hamilton.

Has anybody heard the musical Hamilton. Don't look it up if you don't. Life will be so much pleasanter. She loves it though. It's history, in a song, and they're rapping. ugh.

6. Sarah loves her dog, Rudo.

I walk into my room, "DO YOU LOVE RUDO?"

"NO." (just to annoy her.)

"Ahhhh!"

7. Sarah is writing a book with her best friend.

A fantasy book, I think.

8. She is very responsible with her school. And gets great grades.

Sarah is the smartest out of us all. She's very responsible. :)

9. Sarah is messy.

You might of heard me say this already because I'm an organized person so she annoys me sometimes.

10. Sarah is an awesome cooker.

My nickname is Cooker. I used to love cooking, but Sarah has taken that over. She loves to cook delicious dinners for us! You'd think I messy person wouldn't be so good at cooking, but she's great at cooking. :)

11. She is ALWAYS at our library.

She literally goes to the library 3 times a week for 2 hours or more. Everyone knows her there.

12. She is always busy around 9ish.

This morning she had to handle doing her school while helping me with math and helping Danny with piano. Helping Danny with piano is not the easiest thing.

13. Although Sarah isn't the best at doing exercises she always does it with me.

About every week me and Sarah work out. Now, my workouts aren't the easiest, but she always does them with me. She's getting better thanks to me. ;P

14. Sarah loves soup.

Even in the winter she eats soup. Sometimes she even tries to cook us soup for dinner in the middle of July. I'm like, "I don't want to turn into a fireball today."

15. She hates our rap.

First Danny loved rap, then me, then mom, and now Sarah is just sitting in the car hating everything she hears. We don't always have the same opinion about music, but we try to balance it out.

16. Right now she has a $60 gift card for Barnes and Noble.

yuppppp....that's a lot. If only I had that, except in money.

17. Sarah is giving piano lessons.

She's a great teacher. Originally, I was going to do it, but I gave it to her because I knew she'd be better at it.

You're da best sissy ever Sarah.

I wuv youuu. have a great year.

1. If you could live one day as the life of anybody real who would it be?

Taylor Swift's keyboard player so I could be on her tour and not have to sing.

2. If you could have any super power what would it be and why?

Either fly or heal people because if I could fly anywhere and I'd wanna heal people because that's a nice thing to do.

"And she said, "Compromise where you can. Where you can't, don't. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right.

Piano Festival, Lasagna Dinner, and WCTH.

Today, in this post you will read about my exciting last weekend.

Hi guys! What's up? As you can see above you what I'm posting about.

Last week we had some exciting things going on and I wanted to share them to you.

And I quick rambling about today. I just went outside and played on my homemade beam and I was going to do a one handed roundoff on the beam. Well don't try it. I got to scared and ended up tripping and falling into the BIG mud puddle. And also I just wanted to say if you have Windows 10 (which we just got) get the free Spotify app. You can select ANY song on there on demand for free. I'm amazed! So there are my ramblings for today. on to this weekend.

LAST WEEKEND STARTING ON FRIDAY

 Friday consisted of school. (of course) Then, at night I flipped (of course).

 After that we enjoyed watching Woodlawn (the movie). It was good.

On Saturday,

Me, my sister, and my brother got up early to play in front of judges and perform two piano songs we've been playing for about four months. I was kinda nervous but at the end of all my songs I actually was sad I had to stop. It was kinda fun playing on the cool grand piano. hehe :P And at the end, we went to Golden Coral. I'm serious I've never seen that much food. And that was my little breakfast desert. The food was great! didn't have waffles though. or smoothies.

And On Sunday, hehe my favorite part.

We went to church but then we went to my great grandma's house and prepared a lasagna dinner for lunch. It was our late traditional valentines dinner. We got to eat it with our great grandma and grandparents. We enjoyed lovely lasagna, fruit ball, cheesecake, garlic bread, and salad. Mmm...I want some more. Especially since we don't have a lot of snacks right now. I've already ate an apple too. Anywho, after that we read a love bible verse and went around saying how we see love in our lives. It was pretty awesome.

After that we traveled to go and see our great grandma's homestead. It was so cool to see our grandma's house when she was my age and see where my grandpa live as a kid. That consisted of me and my brother fighting over my mom's camera to take pictures and having handstand competitions. It was really fun though!

And after the night I'd been waiting for for about three or four months. When Calls the Heart Season 3 Premiere. And must I say, I LOVED IT! It was so good. I have to say I wasn't so like, "oh I gotta watch the next one" until the little clip after the show. Once I saw Jack's mom I was like, "Please let these videos go on youtube." I think I'm going to hate Jack's mom. She looks bad weird to me. Comment below if you want to be my When Calls the Heart venting buddy? Cause I love to do that.

So there's my weekend for you! I forgot to say all of my siblings and me got superiors on our piano songs. I've got a superiors on all of my songs for five years straight and my brother and sister four years straight. One more year of another superiors and I get a second gold cup! Yay! :)

Thanks for reading! Hopefully more posts coming! Thanks guys! ;)

What was something excited that happened to you this week or last weekend?

Did you watch When Calls the Heart? Thoughts?

Would you like to be my When Calls the Heart venting buddy?

Sincerely,

             Ellie R.

 

Follow my cool sis :P

You who? HII! It's me again. I just felt to urge to ask you awesome viewers a question. I would really really really really really really like it if you went to my sister's blog and go and give it a follow. Yeah she's busy she hasn't posted in a while, but she writes so lovely and she'd really like it to if you would follow her. Please please guys. It'd mean a lot for me. So if you did comment! If you already do follow comment! Thanks guys.

 

Ellie R.

P.S. PRETTY PRETTY PLEASEEE! :P

 

7 more days until Christmas! Countdown till Christmas.

7 more days! Can you believe it! One week until Jesus's birth! One thing that you've probably heard so many times is God is the gift. When we hear it they say Oh yeah I'd rather have Jesus than presents, but really in their heart they don't always really feel like that. While I was reading this video of some people singing a Christmas song I really though about it. God is my gift. He is the gift. I don't want anything but him! Nothing, but him. Presents are nice. So are family!;) And food! He is the gift. Let us adore him! Cause he is our gift!
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only song, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
His only son. To save the world. Oh how he loves us!

Please check out my sister Sarah's Christmas paper. It has such a great meaning! If you want to see it click here.

Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for tomorrows post. It's going to be fun!

Peace and Love,
