The butterfly house and Hills Alive
















On our trip to Sioux falls with my mom's friend we went to the butterfly house. Here is a picture of a butterfly eating a banana and another eating an orange. We were with My mom's friends children D-man and little Chicken, I desperatley wanted one to land on me and one almost did but it landed on the rules paper instead. and one landed on D-mans arm but he moved at thesame time and it flew away. I desperately tried to get one to land on me. But it was no use after a little while we left then went to the playground to play.





hhere is a picture of the band Skillet it was a pretty good band with a good message

This is my friend in a Kayak we went Kayaking at hills alive it was five dollars! for 20 minutes but it was fun!

Fledgling bird

I Was studying my Bible bee cards when I kept hearing this small chirping noise. I realized it was coming from outside. I looked out the window and saw a fledgling bird sitting on a small branch underneath our tree. It let me get close enough to it to take a picture. The bird didn't move but it was so venerable I could have caught it and kept it. It reminds me of how we are so vulnerable to sin, but we always ask God for help with our sins we always commit.

Putting The Fire Pit Together





I don't know how it happened, but, I found myself looking at the instructions of how to build a fire pit. First it told me to screw on a handle on the fire pit's lid. Second I had to attach the legs to the rings on the fire pit, I screwed on each of the legs then I put the next ring on top of the bottom one with the legs. I had to match up the holes on the legs and the put bolts on the them and secure them with nuts, but it took me awhile and my Grandpa went faster than me! Third, I had to put the huge bowl on top of the rings. But first I had to assemble a small round dish that would catch the ash on the bowl by matching up some holes again. Fourth, I had to put nuts and bolts in the holes. Then we finally put the bowl on top of the rings. Fifth, there was only one thing left to do. We had to put a little metal basket like a cover on the top of the bowl then we were done!














Here I am putting the rings together.











In this picture papa is helping me assemble the bowl.












I'm wearing the bowl on my head in this picture! Don't I look silly?









And hears the final product! Doesn't it look great!?











We had a great time afterwards! we roasted marshmallows and ate smores. It was fun putting the fire pit together, and it gave me a sense of accomplishment that I was able to put the fire pit together, well mostly by my self.

What Do You Fill Your Cup With?

"Father, if You are willing, take this cup from me, yet not my will, but Yours be done." Luke 22:42




What do you fill your daily cup with The things of the world? Or the things of God?


Today many people fill their cup with daily things such as TV, the Internet, video games, other people, and (its hard to say this) books, and many other sinful things. Some people even fill their cup with the mystery of nature and its wonders such as the elements, and the stars in the night sky. But it is entirely up to you what you fill your cup with. You can fill your cup with the things of God, the world, or nature, but it is up to you.
What does God want you to fill your cup with?
