Was it hard for you to read? I have come a little way's in my spelling and punctuation :) But then again for my spelling I am not sure if any of you noticed but awhile ago I had this at the end of my posts..

Well if you noticed I spelt Photography wrong and NEVER noticed! So all in all I just wanted to let  you know that I am not a speller and if I ever spell anything wrong that is why :) but then again half my words would be spelled wrong if it were not for spell check! LOL

Sunday Morning Funnies

  

   A Sunday school teacher asked the children just before she dismissed them to go to church, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?"
      Annie replied, "Because people are sleeping"


At Sunday School they were learning how God created everything, including human beings. Johnny was especially intent when the teacher told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs.
      Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill, and said, "Johnny, what is the matter?"
      Johnny responded, "I have pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife."


      Visiting his grandparents, a small boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out. He picked it up and found that it was an old leaf that had been pressed flat between the pages. "Mama, look what I found," he called out.
      "What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked."
      With astonishment in his voice, the boy answered, "I think it's Adam's underwear!"


The Sunday School teacher was describing that when Lot's wife looked back at Sodom she turned into a pillar of salt, when Bobby interrupted. "My mommy looked back once while she was driving," he announced, "and she turned into a telephone pole."

So here is a before..

And here is the after result!

You see what I mean?

Now I know that you are just so jealous that your family pictures don't look like this one here. 

But don't worry! If you send me your family picture I can make yours look just as good as this one!

(Josh and Becca PLEASE don't be to mad at me for making you look incredibly ridiculous! I promise you that I will do all your photo shoots FREE from now on! O wait I already do that!!! :) I LOVE YOU :)

Happy Birthday Zach and Jesse

We have been busy with celebrating birthdays. On Saturday was Zachary's 10th birthday so we did whatever he wanted to do. On Sunday Zach and Jesse opened their presents and we had cake so that Daddy could be home (otherwise he would be working out on the fields, but since it was a Sunday he wasn't). And TODAY is Jesse's 8th birthday so we are going to do what he wants to do :) But anyway I thought I would share some pictures from yesterday.....

Jennifer made their cake. It is our football team logo, Winnipeg Blue Bombers (just in case you were wondering :)

What have you been busy with this weekend?

Football Fun

My siblings (Josh, Becca, Jen, Ker, Caleb, Zach, Jesse, Nathan) and I like to play football every chance we get. Don't worry we only play two touch NO TACKLING ALLOWED (though the boys sometimes do break that rule! :) So the other day I decided not to play. I was just going to take pictures (just because I like too :). But then Josh is like "Hey why don't you make a video?" What a great idea! :) So this is what I got....

EDIT: Rach asked why we celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada, honestly I didn't know so I looked it up so here it is.......


History and Origin of Canadian Thanksgiving

In Canada Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday in October. Unlike the American tradition of remembering Pilgrims and settling in the New World, Canadians give thanks for a successful harvest. The harvest season falls earlier in Canada compared to the United States due to the simple fact that Canada is further north.

The history of Thanksgiving in Canada goes back to an English explorer, Martin Frobisher, who had been trying to find a northern passage to the Orient. He did not succeed but he did establish a settlement in Northern America. In the year 1578, he held a formal ceremony, in what is now called Newfoundland, to give thanks for surviving the long journey. This is considered the first Canadian Thanksgiving. Other settlers arrived and continued these ceremonies. He was later knighted and had an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean in northern Canada named after him - Frobisher Bay.

At the same time, French settlers, having crossed the ocean and arrived in Canada with explorer Samuel de Champlain, also held huge feasts of thanks. They even formed 'The Order of Good Cheer' and gladly shared their food with their Indian neighbours.

After the Seven Year's War ended in 1763, the citizens of Halifax held a special day of Thanksgiving.

During the American Revolution, Americans who remained loyal to England moved to Canada where they brought the customs and practices of the American Thanksgiving to Canada. There are many similarities between the two Thanksgivings such as the cornucopia and the pumpkin pie.

Eventually in 1879, Parliament declared November 6th a day of Thanksgiving and a national holiday. Over the years many dates were used for Thanksgiving, the most popular was the 3rd Monday in October. After World War I, both Armistice Day and Thanksgiving were celebrated on the Monday of the week in which November 11th occurred. Ten years later, in 1931, the two days became separate holidays and Armistice Day was renamed Remembrance Day.

Finally, on January 31st, 1957, Parliament proclaimed...

"A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed ... to be observed on the 2nd Monday in October.

What are you thankful for?

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Can You Guess What We Are Doing Today?

Psalm 118:24
