Adorable is the perfect word!

Beat me?

This is meant as a joke, I wouldn't really intentionally hurt somebody! (Just to clarify)  

Well bye,

Rachel 

I was supposed to do this awhile ago

           

    

Eden tagged me a long time ago and I never took the time to fill it out until now but here it is. 

Thanks Eden for tagging me! 

1.    Favorite person in history and why?
Well I like a lot of people in history but one of my vary favorite people is Patrick Henry. I really like him because of his love for liberty and the more I read about him the more he seemed like a fun type of person. 
I'll do a post some time of all the funny quotations I found of things people have said about him

2.   Favorite scents?
I like the smell of sharpies, coffee, leather, paint, swimming pools, lemon, pinetrees and brownies. 

3.   What is your favorite Bible chapter, verse, or passage and why?

I would be very hard pressed to find a favorite part of the bible, there are just so many good parts, but I really like 1 John 4:7-21. 

 
4.   Favorite season?
That would have to be fall. I love all the colors of fall; the way you can look out over the moutains in the fall and see trees of all diferent colors.   

5.    Genre of music?
Contemporaty Christian. I like songs from all different artists so if I tryed to get any more specific than that it would take all day to tell you about. 

6.   Favorite kinds of books? (i.e. fiction, history, etc.)
Acton/Adventure!!! I love the books that grab me from the very first sentence and I can't put them down until I'm completely done. (U.S. history books are pretty good too.)

7.   For travel, do you prefer driving, flying, or train?
I've never been flying or on a train but one day I'm going to one day!
 
8.   Middle name?
Wynne. You say it more like Win. I'm the only person I know of with that middle name so it's kind of fun and I really like the letter W so it's an awesome middle name. 

9.   Favorite style of shoes?
Well, I don't wear shoes much but when I do it's either flip-flops or running shoes. I have always wanted to wear Cowgirl boots because I like the cowboy/girl look but that's to much shoe for me so I just look at how cute everybody else looks in them. 

10. Ice cream or Mousse?
I love ice cream! It's my favorite dessert and of all the ice creams my favorite flavor is cookies and cream.  

11.Favorite color combinations?   
Purple and Brown. Or maybe Pink and Brown. Or maybe Blue and Brown. Or maybe Green and Brown.... I don't know something bright and cute. 

 The 11 questions to those I Award:
1. Do you like sunrise of sunset best?
2. What is your favorite time period in American History?
3. What is your favorite song for today?
4. What is your favorite Gospal Matthew, Mark, Luke or John?
5. Do you like being tagged?

9. If you had ten minutes of 'free' time what would you do? 

10. If you were to write a fiction book what kind of story would it be? (Adventure, mystery, fantasy....) 

11. Do you like to wear hats? 

Now I'm suposed to tag 11 people but there is no way you are going to get me to do that. Pluse I don't read that many people's blogs and that many people don't read my blog so it would really be pointless.  So I'm not tagging anyone but if you want to do this incredible, amazing tag then feel free! 😏

I LOVE this quotation!

“ Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat. ”

5 things that make Erin an Awesome twin!

  

      

Five things that make Erin an awesome twin. 

1. When I'm singing a song and Erin walks into the room I sing louder and she sings with me. 

2. When my part of the dresser is messy she doesn't do anything but clean off her side and make my side look really bad. (That's enough to make me clean it.) 

3. She wakes up during storms and shuts our windows so that the room doesn't get wet. (I just keep sleeping.) 

4. She understands me when I talk to her while I'm brushing my teeth. 

5. When I'm with Erin I laugh at things that aren't even funny. And she laughs too. 

People always ask me what it's like to be a twin. 

I usually respond with something like 'What's it like to not be a twin', but really it's a lot of fun. For me it's having my best friend around all the time. It's having a servant and a boss around all the time. It's having to decide whose turn it is to clean the bathroom and having someone else to get in trouble with when the music is too loud. 

We're completely different and yet so much alike. 

I love her and I know she loves me back! 

~Rachel~ 

I love this

                    

a weekend camping at the lake

Jamie, Sarah and Ryan all out in the Lake. 

They had these long mat things and Ryan, Erin and Emily all took turnes rooling eachother up in them than pulling on one end and shooting the person out. 

Michael only swallowed like half a gallon of lake water. :) 

My favorite twin and me! (Just to clarify for all of you who are wondering, she's my only twin.)

Emily getting sun burned but having a lot of fun!  

Everyone got a chance to paddle. 

Well bye,

to love is to be vulnerable

   

“ To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable. ”

~C. S. Lewis~

Tangled

I really like to outline stories; I've read a lot of books on outlining books and movies work almost the same way. All that to say Jess was doing a presentation on movie making and I offered to write a quick outline for her to use as an example. I wrote the outline from the movie Tangle and I thought I would put it on here for y'all to see. (Even though most people probably have no interest in this.)

Flynn shows up in her tower.

It's called a disturbance to the 'hero's world'; it marks the part when what ever was normal for the hero suddenly must change. In Tangled  this happens when Flynn arrives in the tower and turned out not to be as bad as Rapunzel has always been told the outside world would be. 

She leaves the tower. 

A lot of times this part is called 'going through the first doorway'. It can also be called the first disaster but sometimes this sounds a little strong and is harder to get you mind around. (A doorway sounds more achievable  than a disaster.)

 

Her 'mother' finds them.

This point in the story is referred  to as the changing point. Up until now things could have gone back to the way they were before. But now the hero has a choice whether to continue with his/her mission(dream) or to return to the old life the way things where. (If they chose to "Give up on the whole endeavor" well, you end your story. So your story goal  has to be strong enough to keep your hero fighting.  

Flynn gets caught and Rapunzel taken. 

This is also called a doorway. One that will close your story. This needs to be the worst thing that has happened so far.  It is supposed to 'commit' your hero to the end of the story. In Tangled it happens when Flynn is captured and sent to prison and Rapunzel goes back with her 'mother' to be locked in the tower. Now there is no way Flynn and Rapunzel will not fight for a better ending to their story. They have to try one last time, as hard as they can to reach there goal and there dreams.


Well bye,

Jamie as a Director

Jamie has been working on a movie as the director. 

She has a lot of sweaty people to keep happy and she is very good at it. 

I don't really wear glasses but this pair the lenses had fallen out and we thought they would be a fun new touch to my costume.  

Well Bye, 

~Rachel~ 

Pictures because I think they are SO cute!

This little man is a really good sport when it comes to filming on really hot days; he just gets out his ice-pack and keeps working. 

Princess Cutie-pie is also very sweet about the long filming days. But she is looking a little tired here. 

The Bad Guy! Well not so very bad. Ryan spends a lot of time being filmed. As the only oder boy in the family he gets put in main roles a lot. 

Well Bye, 

~Rachel~
