A Happy Birthday

Rebecca & Jonah

Yesterday was my little brother Jonah's 13th birthday~ I can hardly believe

he's a teen now....how time flies! So we went over to my grandparents' house

for a nice dinner and visit. Over all we had a lovely evening~

Chatting, eating good food, and enjoying grandmas' wonderful coffee!

These are burgers like none else: in a plastic bag with some raw hamberger

you add any toppings you like~ chopped pickles, bacon bits, cheese, sliced

sausage, steak seasoning~ anything. Then fry it all up and enjoy! It's my new

favorite food~ I'm glad Jonah chose this as his birthday dinner!

And the root beer of course~ I could have skipped the diet part though!

Jonah and his castle cake~ which was the theme.

LeAnna~ I simply cannot resist her! She's so adorable and photogenic. Whenever

I get my camera out she's right there saying "Take a picture of me!"

The ice cream cake was scrumptious!

Grandpa put a nice log on to burn while we visited~

Talking guns with Grandpa~

(sorry for the poor image quality)

~My favorite coffee in one of my favorite mugs~

(what would we all do without coffee???)

And while everyone visited in the living room, I had a little photo shoot with Susanna and LeAnna~

So we had a wonderful evening. Happy Birthday to my dear brother Jonah!!!!

Raquel said...: Cool new background, by the way. :)

If you wanted to get the white background near the header taken away, then you can modify it through your design master. (Click the "Template" tab on your dashboard, then click the orange button that says "Customize." On the "Advanced" control option, select the "backgrounds" option in the scrollbox, and then set everything to transparent (there are 3 different ones).

I don't know if you want to do that, but you can if you're interested!! :D; January 24, 2012 at 6:55 PM

Hello stranger! Thanks so much for dropping by my blog to see what I’ve been up to! I’m Danielle, but I also go by Dani Marie. My friends tell me I’m always laughing and smiling, and that I love life. Being the eldest of 11 children, we’re always doing something fun, and life never really gets boring. I’m currently helping to teach my young siblings, as we study learn. I’m also improving my skills as a photographer, with goals to start up a small ‘business’ if you like.

Skip on over to ‘About This Girl’~ Stay and read awhile, do!

Isa 61:10-11

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Isaiah 12:1-6

And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me. Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted. Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth. Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

Proverbs 2:1-9

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

Isaiah 61:1-3

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

Psalms 20:1-9

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah. Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel. We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions. Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
