Anneke wants to blog

      I am going to miss school. I am also going to miss the fun activites. But what I'm going to miss the most is my friends and teachers. (I guess that's two things but back to the subject.) I'm going to miss all the fun we had. But looking on the bright side I am moving because  my dad got a job. Also we will be closer to family. My friends were nice so were my teachers. I'll always miss them forever and ever. I will make new friends but I will always miss my 4 friends here in las vegas.  They cared for me. I hope that they will remember me too. Being their friend was fun. But I hope my new friends turn out as nice as they were. They were nice to my 2 brothers that attended the same school as me. ( They hardly saw them, though.)  

So Yeah Marcus got a texting app on his kindle fire and it is almost all he ever does. Luke has been getting small pieces of card board and turning them into "phones" and a "kindle". Mallory is starting to play with me and she said in her church class that when she is sad she can come to me to be happy. Her teacher said what about your brothers. She said they don't make me happy they make me sad so that is what she said to her teacher at church. Tomorrow me and  Marcus are going to Legoland with our school choir it is going to be great. I  might have a sensitivity to gluten. Grammy (Grammy is my grandma from my dad's side)   she is coming to my house on June 15th. My birthday on July 24th which is coming up. My friends names are Hannah, Shayla, Lei'alani and Asya. Hannah is smart and caring. Shayla is a smart and loving girl. Lei'alani and Asya are animal loving and joyful girls.  Mrs.Hall and Mrs.Sanchez were my teachers.

(There has been a lot of quarreling amongst my children lately. They started this post and kept arguing. It sat for over 2 weeks. I am sharing what is here anyway. I hope we have more to share here in a bit.)

Entrepreneurs

On a hot day this week my children opened their first lemonade stand. Dad provided the start up, but they made $5. They had fresh squeezed and pink lemonade. 


Anneke - The lemonade was good.We read books well (while) we waited for customers.


Marcus - We had pink lemonade and fresh squeezed lemonade. Somebody from our old ward (the Hacienda ward) stopped by and bought two cups for one dollar. Fresh lemonade was a whole lot more popular than the pink, so we had pink lemonade for dinner that night. I am not in the picture, but I was there for nine tenths of the time. Some people paid way more than they needed to. One man paid $1.76 or so for one cup of  fifty cent lemonade. We stayed out there for two and a half hours or so.

Faces

Anneke's self portrait made with cut paper

 This is my favorite Marcus art work. So fun!

Cityscapes

We have been talking about landscapes, seascapes and now cityscapes. 

Anneke -

 Marcus - (He does not like paint and asked to do anything but paint. I guess that is not his preferred medium, huh?)

Happy (late) Valentine's Day

Here is Anneke's Valentine to us. I am not sure what the words are and she said, "I don't know" when I asked what they meant.

Happy birthday Grandma! (This posted too early, so check out special Luke art below.)
