All about my life



                      
     This is my family well most of it Christianna was not born when this picture was taken.  From left to right  Daniel (16) is in the back,  Brenden (12) is in front, Josh (6) is next,  my mom, Then dad is in the back, Davey (8) is in front of dad, Zach (4) is in front of Davey,  Tyler/me (15) is in the back with Miah (8) in front of me, Rachel (14) is holding Steve (2),  Bekah (12) is next to them,  And last is Lydia (13),  Anna is not in the picture but, she is turning 1. 

     The first thing you need to know about me is that I am a christian and I am proud of it.  Next thing you need to understand is that I am home schooled.  In fact everyone in my house is home schooled (at least for now).  I love being home schooled and many of my posts will be about my schooling.  As you can see I am blessed with a large family and I am also blessed\cursed with being one of the oldest.  I say blessed because it really is a blessing to be the oldest girl.  Every one looks up to you and thinks the world of you.  I say being the oldest girl is also a curse because EVERYONE looks up to YOU and EXPECTS the world of YOU.  Honestly though I like being the oldest, every position in the family has it`s advantages and disadvantages.  I think being the oldest has more advantages than disadvantages.  In my house I am the teachers (Mom) administrative assistant. My job is to keep things organized and running smoothly.  Sometimes this is a very difficult task but, most times I enjoy it.  I love to organize things!! I keep our family library and our school room clean and organized.  Currently I am going through all our books and getting rid of ones we don`t need or want.  What do I do with these books?  Well Daniel and I are going to put them on Craig's list for sale (with my moms help).  We are also going through our whole house getting rid of stuff we don`t need. Some we donate and some we sell.  I like to do this, we find so much stuff we did not even know we had like an ice cream maker!  Some other things you might want to know are that we are from Michigan and just moved to Pennsylvania last July.  We moved because my Dad got a long deserved promotion.  At first as you may expect we hated it here but, now it is begining to feel like a second home.  I can say that (though Michigan will always be better than Pennsylvania) it is a pretty nice place.   Until next time,  Tyler
