Fall Photoshoot!

Hiya, people! 😉

For the last while I have been trying to find a good day for a Fall photoshoot, but each day has been too cloudy and rainy… Yesterday afternoon it was finally clear enough to get some good pictures!

I started out with a few pictures taken at our house.

And, I just got some cool new shoes, which I love, so…. Consequently, there are now quite a few pictures taken of them. But, I won’t bore you with all of them. Just three of them. XD

After that, I wanted to drive to an apple orchard nearby to take some pictures there. So I went and took my sister, Gracie, with me! 🙂

---

After that, Grace and I took mini photoshoots of each other, which was a lot of fun!

My pictures of Grace…

Grace’s pictures of me… (She did a good job!)

---

 

Ok, well that’s about it! Wow, that was a LONG post, with a LOT of pictures… XD I had a lot of fun with that photoshoot! 😀

Here’s a chocolate chip cookie for anyone who stayed until the end…! 😉

Ok, I just succeeded in making this post even longer… XD I’ll go now. ;P

~Rosy

Which picture was your favorite? Did you stay till the end? ;P Are you excited for Fall? 😀  

Little Brother Photoshoot

Hey guys! So, I know I haven’t done very many photography posts lately, but that’s because I honestly haven’t been taking very many pictures for a while. It’s because I’ve had… well, what you might call the photographers’ version of Writer’s Block. So Photographer’s Block I guess. XD um, is that a real thing? xD It should be.

Anyway, thankfully I’m getting over that now. So a few days ago I did a photoshoot of my adorable little brother James, and I love how it turned out! He is THE cutest, bestest, sweetest little bro anyone could ask for. ❤ ❤

Those eyes! ❤

Aww!

I love his face in this one!

He was laughing at his brother Philip, who was in the tree. 😉

❤ LOVE THIS ONE ❤

He looks like he’s thinking really hard about something.

 

This smile is sooo great!

Aw!

Love this kid so much! ❤ 

Aaaaah, his blue eyes!!!!

Bonus picture:

So, during the photoshoot, I asked James to reach up into the apple tree, and pretend he was picking an apple. I did that, and Philip said, “Take a picture of me doing that!” So he reached up into the tree to pretend to pick an apple, but the apple accidentally came down in his hand. We weren’t technically supposed to pick any apple yet since they weren’t ripe, and this was his face. XD XD

HAHA, isn’t that epic? XD

James and I had such fun with this photoshoot. He’s the best. ❤ So are all my siblings. 😉 ❤

Also, Gracie and I finally took the video for our Q&A. Sorry we took so long. More on that in the video. 😉 I can’t wait to get that finished and edited so I can post it soon! 🙂

Hope you all are having a wonderful day!

We’re Back!!!

Hey everyone! We’re finally back from our trip!! 😀 (In case you don’t know, our family went on a two week trip to Alabama for a family reunion. We also went to Georgia to visit several friends. We had a great time!!) 😀

Here are some pictures from our trip. 🙂 (Btw, I vlogged (video blogged) about the trip too, so ya’ll will get to see that video soon! 😀 )

We got the see the ocean for the first time on our way home! It was so beautiful! 😀 ❤

James is so cute! ❤ 

Beach photography! 

Our Uncle and Aunt took us to the zoo. Sadly, I forgot my camera, but here are some pictures off my uncle’s phone. 😉

Some of my siblings and I (Lacking two), and my cousin. (The boy in the green shirt.)

Cousins!

Philip and Susy make great lions!

OH! And I finally got to meet my good friend Amie!!!! 😀 We had such a fun time together! Her whole family is awesome. 😉 ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

We had a BLAST! 😀 We also made a video together, which you will get to see… later. 😉

Andy and Cousin Eddie invented a new way to have water balloon fights… Just smash the baboons on each other’s heads! LOL! XD I guess they weren’t getting wet enough the real way… ;P

Mom and her new-found cousin and Uncle. Probably more on that in a later post. No promises, but… probably! 😉

Lizzie and a friend’s dog.

We spent a looong time in the car… Like, 6 days worth of driving… Ugh! To pass the time, we listened to a lot of Jonathan Park, Brinkman Adventures, and sermons by Israel Wayne. 🙂 So it wasn’t so bad. 😉 We did have a few really carsick kids though… XD

Y’all. I LOVED the South. It was sooo pretty, and I loved the people, the accent (lol!), the trees… And guys, the GREENNESS!!! 🌳🌲🍃 It was so beautiful! I loved it all! Except for the ticks. Death to all ticks. Seriously, if it hadn’t been for the ticks, I probably would have moved there. Ok, maybe not quite… ;P XD

Well, I hope you enjoyed these pictures! Keep on the look out for a video about the trip, where you can see all you just saw, and lot’s more! 🙂 And also the video about our visit with Amie. (Amie’s making that one.) I can’t wait to see it!! :D😁

See you soon! (Figuratively speaking.) 😉

Rosy

Have you ever seen the ocean?

Are you looking forward to seeing the video about our trip?  

 

March is Over… It’s April

What? How is this even possible? I mean, it was just Christmas… And New Years…. And now we’re 1/3 of the way through the yer! 😮 Well, I’m not complaining. YAY FOR SPRING!!!! 😀

Here is an overview of the month of March at the Marr house. 🙂

Ummm….

*Mind goes blank*

Uhh… I know something must have happened last month.

Just give me… a second…

Ok! 😉

Mom, Susy and Ruthie each had a birthday this month. 🙂 Susy turned 4 on the 3rd, and Ruthie turned 7.

 

Ruthie is the one no the left. This was taken on her birthday. 🙂

The Bible. I read in Leviticus, Job, Acts and Romans. (No, I didn’t read all of each of those books… 😉 )

~Rosy

Do any of you have birthdays in March? Have you read or listened to any lamplighter books? If so, which is your favorite? 

Lizzie and Queen Photoshoot

Yesterday my sister Lizzie (11) wanted me to do a photoshoot of her and her dog, Queen, to which I quite happily obliged!

Here are the pictures. And, btw, I took waaay more than this, but obviously they weren’t all good, sooo… lol! 😉 😛 XD

I really like this one!

This one is Lizzie’s favorite. 🙂

I think this one is cute!

I’m not sure whether she looks happy, or grossed out that she’s getting kissed… XD

Well, those are all the best ones I made. 🙂 I really love how this photoshoot turned out! Both of us really enjoyed it the time we spent together. ❤

And before I leave… Here’s a…

RPOR!

(Random Piece of Randomness)

Here’s a video I made of myself playing Fur Elise on the piano. (Complete with several mess-ups!)

Well, it’s the first part of the song anyway. I’m trying to learn the second part, but it’s harder than the first! XD 😀

Recent Photography

I realized that I haven’t posted much photography lately, sooo… I’ve decided to fix that! 😛 😀

So, for starters, my uncle gave my a camera that’s so much better than my old one! (Thanks sooo much Timothy! 😀 ) And he taught me how to use it, and I’ve been totally loving it! 😀 😉

 “Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.”  John 1:3

I love this one!

“Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land.”  Song of Solomon 2:12

I think this one is my favorite…! 😀 

 

“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.”  Romans 1:20

RPOR! 

For those of you who do not yet know what this is, it stand for Random Piece of Randomness. 😉 😛

This video is sooo funny!!! (How even…?!?) XD 😀 😉 😛

 

In Christ,

A Random Post // My Life Lately

Random Topic #1

A Visit From Our Grandparents

This January, our Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles came over for a few days, all the way from Coahuila, Mexico to celebrate a late Christmas with us. We had a really good time with them! 🙂 I didn’t take very many pictures, but here are a few, not all taken my me.

The kids playing with Uncle Benjamin

All of us kids with Grandpa

One of my uncles, Timothy, took a new family photo for us! Which brings me to me next topic…

Random Topic #2

Family Pictures

This was definitely my favorite picture!!! 😍

All the sisters and brothers. ❤ 🙃

Dad with all of us girls. 🙃

Mom with all the boys. 🙃

Random Topic #3

School

When I said random, I meant RANDOM! Lol. XD 😂

My friends Karen, and I. Oh, and Andy. Apparently, he thought this picture needed him. xD

So, for the last several months I’ve been teaching my friend, Karen, school as there isn’t a school here for her to go to. Here mother is our maid, and comes to our house to help out with chore twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays. So, on those days, Karen gets her lessons! Usually it’s just her I’m teaching, but sometimes  I have up to 4 or 5 students! Like on this particular day, when I had 4… 😁😂

My little friend, Maria (The little girl in the pink jacket who’s sitting next to me), drew this picture of me. ⬇︎

I think it bears a remarkably strong resemblance of me, don’t you think?

Random Topic #4

New Goats

A couple weeks ago, my dad came home with two goats, a mother with her little kid. 😀

Lizzie was happy! 😀

Random Topic #5

The Moon

The moon has been sooo pretty lately!!!! I have very much enjoyed taking pictures of it. 🙂

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained. Psalm 8:3

A yellow moon! 😮

Did any of you see the lunar eclipse last night (Jan 20)? It was so cool! I didn’t any good pictures… for four reasons. 1) It was freezing and I was barefoot. 2) I was shivering and that kept shaking the camera. 3) The dogs kept jumping on me. And 4) I didn’t have a tripod. So anyways, here was the best I managed to get. 🙂

Random Topic #6

This topic is actually a question.

Ok, so awhile back (Like, a looong while back), I did a committee story here on my blog. (If any of y’all are clueless, here’s the rules. Oh, and thanks to Anna W. for writing these up for me like, a looong while back! xD)

Here’s how it works. I post a story starter and y’all pick up where I left off by commenting with the next part of the story. Please write only a paragraph or two at a time and wait to add on again until someone else has. Try to keep the story moving along nicely, leave plenty of mystery and suspense for the next person to write about, and I will finish the story once it has come to some sort of ending. (Please make sure your writing is God honoring and appropriate for young ages. Please avoid all magic, gross violence, children being rebellious, and anything else that contradicts God’s Word.) You can read each new addition here in the comments, and then I will post the entire story, once it is complete, for everyone to read! Be creative and enjoy!!!

So, I was wondering what y’all thought about doing another one sometime in the near future? I think it would be so fun, and that we could write an awesome short story together! If I did one of these, do you think you would write for it? 🙂

Thy humble servant, 😉

Rosy 🌹

P.S. This was a bit of a long post, so here’s a cupcake for you if you read through it all! Also, if you comment below, I’ll give you a cookie… (Virtually of course, lol! 😉 😜)

Should I do more of these “Random posts”? Did you get to see the eclipse? Do you like goats? And what do you think about doing a committee story here on Rosy’s Writings?

 

Goat Rides and… A Water Bottle Hairstyle?

Despite having such a strange title (Especially that last part…), this post isn’t as weird as it may seem. In fact, there really is a such thing as a water bottle hairstyle, although I’m not sure that that’s the official name for it…. Anyway lets get started, with the goat rides. Yesterday evening some friends came over to…

Um, wait, a minute, I think I hear Mom calling me. Wait right there! Don’t move a muscle, I’ll be back in a jiffy… or two… Don’t go away… *Voice fades away*

---

*5 minutes pass*

Ahem. Excuse me, but I don’t think that Rosy will be back any time soon, so I have decided to take over finish this blog post for her. In case you don’t know who I am, let me introduce myself. I am… well, I don’t really have a name right now. But anyways, I am Rosy’s trusty camera! Rosy has thought about naming me, but so far hasn’t found a name that hasn’t sounded totally cheesy or plain weird. I have a few ideas, but am unable to tell her, since I don’t speak English. I can type it, but not speak it. Yet. 

Anyway, let’s get on to the real reason why I’m here. Goat rides. I should know about this, since Rosy used me to photograph the whole, crazy event. I honestly cannot understand why anyone in their right mind would want to ride a goat. Humans. I’ll never understand them. 

It started when some friends of the Marr family who were traveling through, came over to visit, and spend to the night in their guest house. After visiting (In Spanish, a language which I can’t understand!) in the living room for an hour, all the children 11 and under went outside to play. This happened to include the riding of a goat. Ugh… Rosy apparently thought they were cute, because she grabbed me, and ran outside to take picture of them. That’s what she always does whenever she sees something cute. Believe me, I know.

 Guys, she took waaaaaaay more pictures of that than what I just showed you! I’m only allowing you to see the very best ones, since most of them are embarrassing – they’re so blurry with such bad lighting, Ugh. She always does that to me….  

After she had finished with that, she was randomly inspired by the sunset, and ordered all of her siblings and their little Mexican friend to stand on the wall in front of it, to which they willingly and happily complied. (Wow, that was a long sentence! Especially for me!!!)

I personally think these are the best picture that I she took all day! 

After the company went to the guest house to get ready for bed, Rosy got inspired again  only this time it was for a hair style. She grabbed her sister, Bekah, and ran to another room with a brush, comb and strangely enough… And empty water bottle… Unfortunately  I can’t tell you what went on in there, since she left me in the living room alone.

However, when she came back, I was horrified and utterly shocked at what I saw. Behold:

 

Crazy? Yup. My thoughts exactly. She really liked it, her sister tolerated it, and everyone else thought it was hilarious. But she didn’t ask my opinion! 😦

After all that happened, the day was over, and they all got ready for bed. 

Uh oh. I think I hear Rosy coming back. Please, PLEASE do not tell her I was here!!! She might never forgive me for ruining her blog. (At least, that’s what she would think about it… I personally believe the world would be better if it were run by cameras.) But she’s coming, so I really need to go. YOU NEVER SAW ME!!!!!

---

 

Okay, guys, I’m finally back. I’m really, really sorry, but I don’t think that I’m going to have time to tell you what I was going to tell you about the goats and hairstyles and stuff… I’m so sorry! Maybe another day, okay?

Oh look! I just saw one my siblings run past wearing a towel on her head for a hat! She was so cute! I’ve got to get a picture of this! 😀

TTFN!

Rosy

*Grabs camera and runs off*

Post #106 – In Which I Tell You What’s Been Going on at the Marr House…

Happy National Oatmeal Muffin Day, everyone. (So, how many of you ate oatmeal muffins today?) 😛

So, I realized I should probably write up an update on my life for Ya’ll. So, welcome to Post #106 – In Which I Tell You What’s Been Going on at the Marr House. Because you probably couldn’t guess after reading that title… 😛

Anyways, so as you may remember, if you have been keeping up with my blog, I had a birthday, and so did my sister and brother. What you probably don’t remember (At least, it would be pretty creepy if you did, since it never happened…), are the pictures that I didn’t post.

My now 5 year old brother, Philip, and now 14 year old sis, Gracie. 😀

My now 15 year old self… 😉 Isn’t the cake one of my friends made amazing??? She also made the one in the above pic.

The weather has been super cool… like, in the teen digits a few weeks ago… Brrr! We’ve had a good frost almost every morning. It really almost looks like snow!

Doesn’t it look kind of like snow?

A frozen leaf. And a freezing hand… 😛

It sadly has not yet snowed. I mean, if it’s going to have to be this cold, at least we can have a little bit of snow, right? Of course! But no… 😦 So yeah. Maybe, MAYBE, we will get to have a white Christmas this year!

Speaking of… IT’S 5 DAYS ‘TILL CHRISTMAS, GUYS!!!!!!! Can you believe it??? And it’s also almost 2019… Wow. 😮

A few week ago, my brother and I realized we were matching in clothes. (It took us about half way through the day to figure it out! 😛 ) Then, of course, I had to take pictures… Which was actually a challenge, since Andy (My Bro), didn’t want to… (Well, he pretended not to want to…) xD

Aaaaand, this is what it actually took to get a good picture… 😛 =D

My friend and I. This pic was actually taken about a year ago, but I just decided to post it anyway. Just cuz… 😛

I’m in this position half my life. And of course, I never exaggerate. Right? RIGHT? Of course. 

Oh, and I’m participating in this photography contest! You can see all my pics for the contest here. I’ll be adding a new one every week!

Some of my siblings jumping off a wall…

My sister, Lizzie. I kind of like this pic, lol. xD 😀

This, my friends, is a snake. At our house. In our tree. Guys, it was the funnest EVER to photograph!!! Seriously!

SO pretty!!!!! ❤ 😀

 

Welp, that’s it for today! I hope you all sleep well, and since most of y’all will probably be viewing this post tomorrow or later, have a good day!!! 😀

The humble servant, 😛

Rosy 😀

Let’s talk!

Do you like snakes?

Are you ready for Christmas?

Has it snowed yet at your house?
