June 2021, Recap!

Posted on July 5, 2021 by Rosy Marr 🌸

Hello my dear blog readers! I hope this post finds you well, and in good spirits. And if not, it is my great hope that this post will bestow unto you joy and pleasure, and that you may leave happy and contented.

Ok, that was slightly weird, but hey, it’s true. (Even if it is worded in a slightly unique manner.) Lol!!😂

Anyway!! Am I the only one who is sitting here in shocked silence, because JUNE IS OVER?! I am currently speechless, but at least I can still type. We’re half way done with 2021! Crazy!! BUT EXCITING!!!

The month of June went very well (for the most part) for us. Save one aspect, which I will discuss at a later juncture. (I don’t know why I keep talking like this, LOL! Maybe it’s because I’ve been reading old books…? Ok, yeah probably. Deal with it.) 🤣

So here I am, at 5:25 in the afternoon, drinking ice tea and writing this blog post. 😀

~ Early in the month, we had some friends over for the day, which was fun! We played Apples to Apples, and… I won. XD (Not bragging, just stating the facts! LOL!!) We like to play that the cards you win are supposed to describe you… That can get pretty crazy, haha!!

What do y’all think? Do these words describe me??? 🤣

~I’ve been walking a lot lately. I try to get it 2 miles a day. (well sometimes…!) Listening to podcasts motivates me to actually do it. My favorite podcast to listen to is Revive our Hearts with Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth. 😀

~We went to Colorado, for my Grandma’s 70th birthday party! That was a good trip, and a lot of fun! 😀

On the way we listening to Ranger Bill, Focus on the Family Radio Theatre (This Hiding Place), Lamplighters, and I listened to an audio book. (“The Lamplighter” It was really good!!)

A couple of books I bought at a thrift store. Look how THICK!!! Can’t wait to read them!!

Some very random pictures…! lol!

In June I….

Hey everyone! I’m so sorry this is late… very late… I will try my best to do better next month! 😂

Anyway, May was a great month! *Tries to remember what even happened* At least I’m pretty sure it was. It’s been 12 whole days since May, and you can’t expect my brain to remember that far. 😉 Let me just find some pictures, and maybe that will refresh my memory… 😉

Ok, I’m going to start with the highlight of my month… Earlier in the month, our family met up with some amazing friends of ours, the Petzolds, in El Paso! They drove all the way from Arizona, which was amazing. We had a blast with them!

We went to a park, where we visited, played games, soccer, and sang together. So much fun!!

I laugh whenever I see this picture, because it looks like Annika has a mega long arm 🤣

Mr. Petzold got ice cream for everyone, which was DELICIOUS!! I got cookies ‘n cream…. YUMM!!

Eating breakfast outside the hotel, and saying our sad goodbyes….

And yeah, that was an amazing and SUPER fun time!!

~I cut (and layered) my own hair. I really like how it turned out! (And yeah, it’s slightly curly…!) 🤣

~Video called my friend, Carolina. 😀

~Started making friendship bracelets. So much fun!!

~More random pictures…! 😀

In May, I….

And there you have it!! May was a super fun month! 😄 June’s been good too, but I can’t talk about that yet, since this post is about May. LOL! Again, super sorry I’m so late….!!! And it’s so crazy to think that it’s already almost half way through the year…. WOW!! It’s going by so fast! XD 😀

April 2021, Recap

Hey everyone!

I’m so sorry about my unannounced break from blogging. XD I was super busy, we went on a trip, I was unmotivated for a while, and I just never found time to sit down and make a post. Between all those things, I’ve been gone for almost a month now… In fact, my last post was my March Recap. Oops!!

Anyway, back to the original purpose of this post…. IT’S MAY!!! (Well, as of tomorrow) 😉 (Is anyone else as shocked as I am? Comment below) XD

April 2021

~ I got the books in the mail that I talked about in my Book Haul post! (Very quick background story: I bought the book Little Women on a used books website, and it ended up being a very revised kid’s version… So I bought it again!)

This time, it was the original, and IT’S SOOO THICK!!! I love it…. 😍 I’m really excited to read it. (I love thick books!!!)

And I also tagged on two Anne of Green Gables books, since I had a $5 coupon. I’m excited for those too! 😀

~ A couple pictures from Church.

~I planted a (very) small flower garden! I planted zinnias and sunflowers. I’m really excited for them to come up!!! 😀 I’ll probably post pictures when they bloom, but until then, you’ll have to content yourself with this beautiful picture of… dirt.

My poor flower bed looks rather forlorn at this point, but don’t worry, something will *probably* come up. 😉 😂

~ I sewed a skirt and an apron! I really love how they turned out. 😄

~ Selfies with Lizzie XD (Believe me, I had to search through the pictures for a decent one that wasn’t too goofy) 😂

And honestly, not a whole ton else happened (that I remember at least…..) XD

ONLY THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY MONTH!

(In case you thought I had no more pictures to show you…. Believe me, I have a lot.) However, I want to do a ful post on it later, so I’m going to *try* and choose only a few to show you for now. 😉

~We went to my grandparent’s house this month, and we had a super fun time!! I had a lot of fun with my grandparents, and my aunt, and I also got to meet my uncle’s girlfriend, Carolina. 😀 I’d been friends with her online for a while, and it was so great to finally meet her! 💖

And I have a TON more pictures, that will just have to wait till a later post. 😄 It was a great time though! 😀 ❤️

In April, I….

February 2021 Recap!

Hey everyone!!

IT’S ALREADY ALMOST THE THIRD MONTH OF 2021!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooow!!!!!!! I find that hard to believe… February just flew right by. It was a great month though! At least I think it was. I forget what even happened. Consequently, I’m just as excited as you to find out, LOL!

~Sometimes near the beginning of February, our family, plus our friend Susanna who was visiting us, had a hotdog and s’mores roast. T’was a lot of fun! We used healthy homemade marshmallows for the s’mores. 😄 😋

~Sometime around the same time, mom, Grace, Lizzie, Susanna and I went on a girl’s date kinda thing. We went out to eat, and to a thrift store! (you can see what I got at the thrift store HERE!) It was a BLAST!

~We went out to eat (AGAIN?!) with Susanna. It’s kinda a tradition to take our American friends to this restaurant when they visit, so we had no choice. We don’t usually go out to eat this much, lol!

Shortly aftwerwards, Susanna left, and we all missed her lots. ❤

~Siblings selfies! 😂 👌

~Doing a class with a couple of my siblings 😄

~A few days ago was the 5th anniversary of our ministry here in Mexico! Here is a picture of us last Sunday.

~Last Monday (the 22nd), Ruthie, Susy and I went to the Border with Dad to get mail, go shopping and stuff like that. 🙂 It was a very fun trip!

🚙 🛣 👌 🤓🌅 🇲🇽 → 🇺🇸 😄 😎 🌄 💟 🧢 😂

We got ice cream there! Which again, is not normal, and was a VERY special treat!!!! Dad and I got a Reeses Overload, and the girl’s split a Strawberry Cheesecake flavored one. SO DELICIOUS! 😍 💖

In February, I….

Yesterday was my brother, James’, 4th birthday! 😀

He is such a precious boy, and I love him so much!! ❤ It’s so hard to believe it’s been 4 years since he was born.

The dessert he picked was chocolate chip cookies and ice cream! 😋

Smile!! XD

March Recap

Posted on April 6, 2020 by Rosy Marr 🌸

Standard

March was a long month… A lot of crazy stuff happened, as I’m sure you know! 😉 It wasn’t a bad month though. A lot of good things happened too! And I haven’t been bored even the tiniest little bit either… XD

when-you-find-out-your-nomal-daily-lifestyle-is-called-quarantine-meme

Yup. XD

But yeah, boredom isn’t a thing for me. Life has been mostly normal for me personally, except for church. (So sad!!!)

Gracie and I have a goal to walk 100 miles this Spring! 😀

My lil’ buddy ❤ ❤ ❤

James can do more pushups than I can, lol XD

Yes, there’s still TP at the store here, lol… XD

Mom had her 40th birthday this month! 😀

I organized bookshelves a couple days ago… Whew, that was quite a job! Lol! ;P

I have also been doing a lot of art lately, and started learning to draw people, which has been lots of fun! 😀

I drew this picture of my friend, Kyra! 😀

I also painted my sketchbook cover, and even though it could be better, I love how it turned out! 🙂 😀

Sketchbook

Another exciting thing that happened this month was our church’s 4th anniversary! Well, technically it was last month, but we celebrated it this month, right before the quarantine started. 🙂 Here is our church picture (minus a couple families). 😉

2020-04-06 (4)

So yeah. It’s been a pretty good month for me, despite all the crazy stuff that’s been going on. 😀

And, I shall end this post, with this very deep and thought-provoking meme. (JK) XD

2020-04-06 (7)

Have fun at home, ya’ll!! 😉

~Rosy

P.S. I just realized I should do a post with the ultimate list of boredom busters and stuff. I never truly get bored, but I always love reading those anyway and trying out the ideas. What do y’all think? 🙂

What I’ve Been Doing Lately…

Posted on November 12, 2019 by Rosy Marr 🌸

Standard

Lately, we have been pretty busy (as always!) Freezer meals, company, organizing, cleaning… 😀

Here are some of the things I have been up to lately. 🙂

2019-11-05-5

Birthdays

We have three birthdays in November birthdays! Gracie turned 15 on the 10th, Philip turned 6 on the 11th, and I’m going to turn 16 on the 22nd! 🙂

For Gracie’s birthday, I made her some healthy, homemade Oreos. (YUM.) Man, that was SO much fun, guys! I made several different flavors… Normal, peppermint, lemon, strawberry, chocolate, peanut butter, birthday cake, caramel… 😄 They were super yummy (I barely managed not to eat all of them) and pretty, and so much fun to make!

Normal, stawberry and birthday cake flavors.

YUM!

Lemon flavor!

Gracie and I get to be the same age for a few days! 😀

2019-11-12-9

Haircut

Last week I suddenly got this urge to cut my hair. I wanted something different! XD

Before and after…

2019-11-12-1

I really like it! 🙂

Painting

I’ve started really getting into acrylic painting in the last few weeks. It’s so much fun!!! I only had a tiny bit of dollar store paint (which I mostly finished), but I want to order some more from Amazon or something. 🙂

My first painting:

I LOVE how this turned out!! ❤

My second painting:

2019-10-12

My third painting:

I did this one of a cute, tiny canvas my friend, Susie, gave me as an early birthday present. 🙂

My fourth, and last painting (So far!):

I painted it on a piece of cardboard because I didn’t have any canvas… XD

2019-11-12-8

This one didn’t turn out quite as I’d liked, mostly because I ran out of white after doing that light blue sky… But I still like it!!! 😀 It’s very Fall-y. 😉

Other Stuff

I finally got rid of my old school book collection… XD It took me two years collect all those… LOL!

2019-11-12-3

James is my babyyy!! *massive heart eyes* (He’s growing about way too fast. XD ) Lol.

We have been having fun with Anna Bagwell (Maggie’s cousin). Here she is playing a game with some of the kids. 🙂

2019-11-12-10

Singing and playing guitar with visitors.

So yeah. There’s a little update for ya! 😀 Hope you enjoyed. 🙂

Well, I’d better go and help get the house ready for company tonight.. 😀

Let’s Talk!

How has your last few months been? Which painting was you favorite? What flavor of Oreos do you think would be you favorite?

Little Brother Photoshoot

Posted on August 21, 2019 by Rosy Marr 🌸

Standard

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. 😉

James, 2019, 19

❤ LOVE THIS ONE ❤

James, 2019, 17

James, 2019, 6

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

James, 2019, 16

This smile is sooo great!

James, 2019, 13

Aw!

Love this kid so much! ❤

James, 2019, 18

James, 2019, 7

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!

Rosy

Which picture was your favorite?

Do you have an adorable little brother? ;P

Quick Update Before We Leave

Hi! So, I managed to find a bit of time to write a quick blog post today! I’ll have to try to do this quick though. 😉 We haven’t done almost any packing yet, so we’re doing that today. We’re leaving the day after tomorrow!!!! 😮 (For those of you who don’t know, we’re going to Alabama and Georgia.) We’re way excited!! 😀

Anyway, here’s a few pictures from the last few weeks! 🙂

Lizzie’s birthdays was a few weeks ago. She turned 12. 🙂

We made pigs in a blanket for her birthday meal. 🙂

2019-05-19

My and my gravity defying braids! XD

This is a really strange looking picture of me, but oh well… 😉 It was a few days ago, when my dad surprised us by bringing pizza for lunch. Yum! Btw, that’s my dad’s hand in the background… lol!

We’ve been making a lot of snacks for the trip. 😀 In this case, it’s dehydrated cauliflower. Yum!!!

Here’s a random funny meme I found. Good grief, I can’t tell if this person is smart, or foolish… Probably the latter.

Disclaimer: Do not try this at home! ;P XD

Well, I have to go and help get ready for the trip! I’ll see you guys in a few weeks. 😀

pizap.com15587556357691

Note: Please excuse the terribly uncreative title… Oh well. My brain’s not working tonight. XD

Ok, we all know that kids can say the funniest things sometimes… I am convinced that my siblings are the best at making me laugh. XD 😀 ❤

I’ve compiled a few of my favorite funny quotes from my siblings. Enjoy!!

Philip (5): “Rosy, you are big. You are too big to live in a sprinkle.”

Oookay…. Whoa, that was random! 😂🤣😂

Andy (10), while eating ice cream: “Oh, I just got freezer burn!”

He meant brain freeze! LOL! XD

Me: “James, are you as cowboy?”

James (2): “Yeah! Mooooooo!!!”

Not sure he knows exactly what what a cowboy is yet… 😂🤔

Philip (5): “Rosy, I wish you weren’t my sister.”

Me: 😲😲😲”Oh! Why?”

Philip: “Because I really want to marry you, and I can’t marry my sister!”

This one was my favorite!!!!!!!😂 Talk about a relived big sister… (Wait, was that my first marriage proposal???) 🤣

Philip, after I opened a jar lid for him: “You are the strongest lady I ever met!”

Wow! Is that a compliment? I think it is… 🤔😁😆

Friend: “Who of your siblings do you think speaks the best at speaking Spanish?”

Gracie: “I don’t want to brag, so go ask my dad!”

Haha! Even that was a couple years ago, it took a little bit of convincing to let me add that one… But she let me! 😁😂

Susy (4), trying to sing Jesus Loves Me: “Jesus loves me, this he knows, and I know the Bible knows!”

Lol, maybe we should work on that with her a bit… 😂🤔🙃🎶

Ok, I know I had more quotes, but I forgot some of them… Consequences of storing them in my brain, instead of one paper. I’ll probably remember as soon as I click post post on this. So, I might post another one of these sometime. 😉

Because He lives,

Rosy

p.s. Oh, and y’all!!! The sunset was sooo pretty tonight!!!! 😀 ❤
