Hugo Birdie

I would like to announce that we have a new addition to the family.... Mom is having a baby!!!!!
Haha, sorry, I just couldn't pass up that opportunity! Actually the newest member of the family is Alex, the talking chicken. More of a parakeet if you want to get technical. He is 14 years old, and he can speak better english than me.

Thus far he hasn't said too much. We just brought him home yesterday morning, and the only thing he whispered was "Hugo Birdie" or so I thought. It turns out he was actually saying "You go birdie" (I'm pretty dense at times). Anyways, we went to meeting that night and when we got back, he started lettin the words fly! He talked for a few minutes, saying, "I'm a pretty bird" and either "meow" or "hello". We were laughing at that. Then just today, Bennett went to put his hand near the cage and he said "What are ya doin?"

Sorry for the poor quality... I took it with my ipod.

I pretty near fell off my perch! This should give me some things to blog about now.... :)

Psalm 27

I've been reading in Psalms lately, and I absolutely love it. David was quite a man of God! It sure shows me how far I fall short... Here's a few verses I read today. The Lord Is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? Teach me thy way o Lord... Wait On the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!

The Upside to Spring Cleaning

Today we finally officially started the work on my car! YAY! Thanks Pa!
Dad took the passenger door off, then went on to remove the seats, then the console, then the very bottom bottom floor mats. Under the bottom bottom floor mats dad found a toonie! Then ANOTHER! And another, another, another. They were all stuck to the bottom of the mat thing! $20 bucks in total! They were absolutely disgusting though. I was some excited let me tell ya! Usually I'm not one of those lucky people, who are like walking to their car in the parking lot and they have a 20 dollar bill stuck to their wheel or something. But my luck didn't end there. Dad opened the trunk of the car, and exclaimed, "Look at that, and American Eagle sweatshirt. And 15 more cents... for Canadian Tire!" Looks like Bennett just got a new sweater...

I Googled "how to clean off rusted coins" and found the best (easiest) way was to soak them in vinegar and salt. The other suggestions were Ketchup (which I tried and it actually did work but it just takes longer) Pop (coke or Pepsi) that I also tried, but couldn't tell if it was working or not. 

Pre-sing preparations...

Oh ya, on Friday night, the MacKenzie's had a sing song after meeting. The Quigley's from New Brunswick came over, and we all had a great time! We had a cake bcause it was Timmy and Sarah's birthday, along with a bunch of other people who I can't remember (Sorry!).
