Logic Puzzler #1

Hey fellow Bloggerlanders~ Happy New Years! (Eve)

So since this weather is keeping everyone inside most of the time (except for tonight, party tonight! even though it is at our pastor's house. Anyone that knows our pastor and his family though would know, that they know how to have a fun time!). Anyway, I have decided to share with you some riddles from a book I got called "Uncle Johns Bathroom Puzzler:365 Logic Puzzles" throughout the winter to keep everyone occupied. I think we will try and post a riddle at least once a week and reveal the answer with the following week's riddle. Oh, and I thought we should have a symbolic mascot for these riddles so when you see the "smart thumb" its.....RIDDLE TIME!

Slip and Slide

This afternoon later after church some of us decided to
to take a walk. Because of all the rain and the sudden change
in temperature we ended up doing a lot more ice skating then walking:)





Joschi joined us. Isn't he cute?


It was funny watching everyone try to slide
all the way across the ice without slipping:)


Yeah! Good slide Becky!



Here goes my brother Jordan.....




Umm.. well, I think he needs to practice a little more:)




I don't know if Crystal thought she was figure skating....


Ummm... Yeah! I give Crystal a 10:)


I thought this was a cool looking picture.

We decided to then venture into the woods!


Becky carried our caution tape flag so
in cause any hunters were in the woods they
would be able to see us:)

We ended up hiking all the way to the creek.
The water was pretty high:)

There was a fallen tree that went all the way across
the creek and Becky and Reid were the first of the adventuress
ones to try to walk across to the other side. I would have closed my
eyes if only I wasn't taking pictures:)

Rachel finally decided to give it a try:)
Go Rach!


Beck was trying to encourage Rach
along as they waited on the other side.

I don't know what Jordan was trying to do...?:)


Everyone made it back safely across the tree:)


I couldn't resist taking a few pictures of the beauty around us:)

Beck found a weird looking mushroom.
It looked kinda like a funny looking nose:)?


I thank God for the beauty He made, but
best of all for good friends to enjoy it with.
Thanks everyone for a fun time!

"For unto us a child is born...."

For some reason I can't get any of my pictures to download right now so I was only able to download the video. I think the video is cuter then any of the pictures I was going to download anyway so this is fine with me. I hope everyone had a great Christmas! Jamie and I have started our own tradition for Christmas of waking up Christmas morning and having a special breakfast together then we go to my parents house. This Christmas before we went to my parents house we went to the nursing home in Amboy where I use to work and we visited with some of the people. It was such a blessing to see how happy it made the people. Every year we make either a cake or cupcakes to sing Happy Birthday to Jesus. It is so cute to see the excitement of Isaac and Kaleb (they really enjoy blowing out the candles). It is so important to keep our focus on the true meaning of what we celebrate during this beautiful season. The birth of Christ! What greater present to receive then God come down to us in the most vulnerable form of human flesh, a baby. The more times I read through the story of the birth of Christ the more amazed I am how awesome our God is and how great His love is for us. Well, I hope all had a great and blessed Christmas!
