I know:) well, maybe next year (or this winter) we can have a group skiing trip:)
admin
@Madi: Nope! Never have… I grew up in southern CA, so swimming is way more our sport!
@Elanee: Hmmm Sounds fun… But only if all the important people are there!
Ruth Smith
If you're serious, you can count on ALL the important people being there:) that would be SO amazing;) and we'd be sure to get you a lesson so you wouldn't hurt yourself;) and besides, you can't embarrass yourself any more than I did last time we went:)
Dani(elle)
Lol that sounds like an interesting story!! :) jk. When my dad was little his friends took him sking and he had to idea how to ski and they sent him down the hardest Mountain on the course!!! Not very good friends! :) lol
Madi
Wow…that's mean… :P
Dani(elle)
Lol IKR?!

Sledding has got to be better than skiing! We have the best hill to go on in the winter….the Strang's could come here, get used to cold weather, and go sledding with us :)
Dani(elle)
Lol sledding is fun, except for when you reach the bottom and have to climb all the way back up!!!!!!!! :P
admin
I've done some sledding in my life… but I doubt I'd ever get used to your ridiculously cold weather!!! ;)
Ruth Smith
Oh come on Jordan, you just have to go skiing, and then you'll LOVE the cold, especially if you go with friends:):):)
Ruth Smith
Too funny:):):) I literally LOL at those:) I came pretty close to the second one last time we skied. I actually ended up taking off my skis and walking down the whole hill!!! (talk about getting hot in the cold:) by the time I reached the bottom, I wasn't ready for J and Evan to convince me to go back up the lift, but I did:)
You know, Liberty University has its own artificial ski/ snowboarding slope, so you can go all year round, and you don't have to get cold. Maybe you would like that:)
Madi
Sad I missed the pics but yeah….it can be scary when you first look down the hill. :P
No cold wouldn't have the same affect as the chill you get when riding up the lift. ;)
Ruth Smith
IKR we went night skiing, and when you got on the lifts it was super cold and windy:):)
admin
I so want to go skiing. Finally I said that I would go when I get married.
But… that's not going to happen for a while here. :P
Ruth Smith
Is being married going to make it easier?? I would suggest you go skiing before you get married, so you don't have to embarrass yourself in front of your husband:)…… You never know what God has in store for your future:) it might come sooner than you think!

spoken like a true M….., elanee!
admin
You should have seen them… It was an arab guy skiing down a sand dune! LOL!
Ruth Smith
Takes one to know one:)
admin
Faugh! You're one to talk!
Oh that's right… that's like the one movie you guys haven't seen!!! ;)
Ruth Smith
I'm sure we could easily fix that:)
What's the name of it?
admin
Hey, I might not be that bad at skiing. :D You know, I don't have a lot of body mass, so I can carry it well. ;) Hmmm… I might embarrass myself in front of you guys! :D

We live about four hours away from St. Louis. We are not going. We would so like you all to stop by :D
Ruth Smith
Thank you all so much for your invitation, it would be so fun to see you all again!
We were going to fly into St. Louis, but we are thinking about flying into Kansas City instead, and driving from there to St. Louis, in which case, we could stop by and see you all! Our plans are not 100% finalized, so I will keep you up to date on what's happening:)

I like where I live, it even snowed here today, and we still have piles of it in our front yard that haven't melted away yet. A great thing about the town we live in is the ability to raise animals inside city limits. We live on two lots right in town, and my brother can keep his chickens in our backyard. So part of this morning and afternoon we have been decreasing the population of males in the chicken yard, and increasing their population in the freezer.
MilesChristiSum
Nobody likes this forum now, cause I posted about chicken slaughter on it. {mock cry's}
But what can beat going on a bike ride, and getting some good ripe wild Blueberries, they are much tastier than those you get at the store. Eating some really tasty Nagoon berries, and some Red Raspberries And getting to see moose calf twins along the way.
Emily H
hey, I think it's really neat that you can butcher chickens in your back yard!! :P
Dani(elle)
Lol um. :) lol yeah I wish we had wild fruit you could just pick and eat more. Everyone sprays everything with so many chemicals anymore. :P
Madi
IKR
Emily H
^^what Madi said. It's so gross what they do to the food now :(
Priscilla K.
Hey we butcher chickens in our back yard as well!
Jarrett
most favorite -tiny city ,1 hour away from the snow (in the winter), 30min away from the beach!
least favorite- a palm tree that keeps falling over when it's windy :)
weather - great temperature…60 degrees winter, 85 degrees summer, mostly sunny, only probably 2-5 rains per year :D
Dani(elle)
Alex's younger brother dissected a chicken in their backyard once. :) lol
Mommy's Helper
Yuck! We butcher chickens sometimes.
Madi
Should I change my name to Jonathan Park? LOL JK…I guess I'm in a weird mood. :P
I think Brennan has two "n's" though. :)
Andrew
You are sadly mistaken Madi. Brennan has three 'n's. Thank you for saying that she was correct in her spelling though :P
Hiruko Kagetane
@ThePendragon- Nice profile pic! I'm assuming you've see the Avengers?
Andrew
@ThePendragon- Nice profile pic! I'm assuming you've see the Avengers?
Not the full movie, only what could be gleaned from youtube… looks like a good movie though…
Dani(elle)
I LOVE YOU PROFILE PIC!!!!!!!!!
Madi

Too true. :P
Hiruko Kagetane
@ThePendragon- As you can see, Dani's one of those girls who squeals over Chris Hemsworth.
Dani(elle)
Lol no just Thor. Lol
Andrew
: ) mmmhmm… I ought to switch it to a picture of Gollum making a stink eye. JK
Dani(elle)
No plz! Lol JK but u can't do that because u would scare a certain 10 year old girl on here. :)
Dance4Him
Who?? Hannah???
Dani(elle)
Yeah. :)
Dance4Him
Isn't she 9?
Madi
To get back on topic ahem (and y'all accuse me!?) I love the mountains where I live! :D (And sunsets and after sunsets behind them…)
Priscilla K.
Yes back on topic, I love the temperature here! Every one thinks we're idiots, because we love it when it gets down to forty below zero every winter. Zero actually feels warm after that. Although it is a pain when we get frost in June and have to cover our garden. Two nights ago it got down to forty-two, which for July is freezing! I also love the fact that we don't get a lot of tornados and other disagreeable things. I only remember one tornado in our area, and we never get earth quakes or hurricanes. Also we don't have any poison snakes around. It's to cold for them:)
Mommy's Helper
I just checked and Madi, you were right at first. Brenan is only spelled with two "n"s.
Mommy's Helper
Did you say the his pic would scare me? Oh, thanks for thinking I'm ACTUALLY OLDER than I am! Everybody else thinks I'm younger. It sorta freaked me out at first, it didn't really scare me though. I definetely wouldn't mind if he changed it to something nicer.
I like where I live because I just do.
