I need you

Hi Family,

I had forgotten that we had this blog to share all of our thoughts and feelings. Can we keep this going? I was reading it and felt such a sense of love and care.

I just wanted to remind all of you that we still have this and you are loved!

Holy Hanna Montana!


Ethan and I were sitting on the floor making a craft project when all of the sudden the floor, the walls, the ceiling and everything started shaking and made a huge sonic boom! It stopped as quickly as it started and Ethan and I just stared at each other..... I guess I was preparing for what was to come and didn't know what to say...


then Derick comes in and says "was that an Earthquake or did a truck just hit the side of our house?"


He told us to put our shoes on in case another one came but we didn't we just laughed and kept doing what we were doing.


It took about 30 min for me to really calm my heart rate down though! I have really only felt one other that was a little tiny one, but this one scared me a little. It was only like a 4 but it wasn't rolly, it was like a massive hit! I don't even want to imagine what a bigger one would be like....


I just love living here!


Love ya all,


Niesja

Ethan's Christmas Video


So, here it is.... a video of Ethan singing two songs... The first is "Sing a song for Hanakuh!" Horray... My child thinks that people who killed Jesus sing pretty songs.... then, "Must be Santa!"

He did a great job and We are super proud of him! Way to go Reethan!

It's been a while





I'm trying to hard to catch up with my life and it's just been one thing after another lately! I can't believe it's been an entire month without writing!

I guess I have to realize that I just moved, had family here for a week, Ethan was out of school, I have 4 vacant apartments to rent and some majorly mental tenants to deal with, the economy is hurting and 4 of my tenants just lost their jobs and can't pay the rent, I am dealing with the most deliberately stupid person I have ever met in my life and can't seem to get away from her, send out Christmas gifts, visit the sick and the poor, travel to South America for Green Peace, Meet the pope, Make a Sarah Palin parody video, make a puppet show, go to fight against the liberals of the nation and have a "Just love everyone please" meeting with California govener Arnold Swartinager and I have to make a wall to separate Ethan's room from the living room.

Hmmmm, can't think of anything else right now, but in the mean time of all of this we have had some fun and took some time to have family togetherness because that is #1 soooo we had some new adventures at Disneyland last week. we went on a canoe ride around the lake and they gave Ethan a little tiny paddle which was really cute, half way through the fun he got tired and it fell out of his hands into the lake... it was kinda funny but he was glad that he didn't have to row anymore! We all bought a new hat... Derick got a pirate hat, Ethan got a Tweedledee and Tweedlededum hat, and I'm goofy... of course!

During Thanksgiving we had family come to visit and about 75% of the time things went well. Ava spilt an entire half gallon of milk on top of Ethan and the carpet in Janice and Delwins timeshare and after a couple of days it started to smell like a rotten garbage can so they decided to leave early! Erin got upset at disneyland and cried, then I got upset at Disneyland and cried.... lets just say it was a very very very long day especially with the kids and trying to manuvere the family around disneyland for the day!





We played games and me and Mikey got in a fight.. then Crystal got involved and Mikey didn't like that so he yelled at her.... we all had to be nice and tell each other sorry later. We all love each other now! (It's so competitive in this family! whew)



They boys went to a car show, the girls went out to eat, saw Twillight and then Bolt all in one day! I know I'm making it sound like a crazy time but we all had a really great time seeing each other and just hanging out!

Here are some pictures of the craziness of the last little while! I will post some pics of our new place when it's ready to look at!

Here is a movie I made! Enjoy....

I hope you all enjoy this video! I spent a lot of time making it because I felt that people needed a little uplifting these days.... with the election and all the drama that has been going on in our country, we need to realize the important things.

I'm so happy to have you all as my family, I guess Blessed would be a better word!

Love ya!
