Liars work at camp!!

So...theres this little song...and it's "revelation revelation 21:8 21:8, liars go to hell liars go to hell, burn burn burn, burn burn burn." I know many of you probably know the song, but it makes me laugh. Haha, this summer they had to change it to liars work at camp, and take out the burn burn burn part. I laughed. Anyways, here are some pictures of the "liars" I worked with this summer.

This ones for...

Someone who is like my big brother...
Someone who opened his door for me, even though I make fun of him all the time...and he had to put up with me all summer!
Someone who truly cares when Im upset
Someone who gets embarrassed really easy
Someone who is just like a big teddy bear
Someone who has an amazing son and another beautiful baby on the way
Someone who turns the age of old today....On January 27...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE WILLIS!!!!!!! I love you lots!!

Thanks Marty!!!
~Buttercup~

Ummm...how Hot is he?

Try like...sitting on the sun hot! He's like...a billion on the victor scale!!! Maybe not quite, but my oh my! Ladies...go rent unwed father with Brian Austin Green, then come back and tell me he isn't good looking!

I think...I hurt my knee

So I had an alright day today. I had an exam this morning, and really...what day is good when it begins with an exam? Anyways, i was in a bad mood on and off all day and well...Im a girl....and Im supposed to have female pain soon...so Im hungry and stuff as well. Anyways, I was getting out of my dads cop car...and slipped on some ice (probably not good mainly because I had my trombone and it went flying)...and now my knee is bleeding and numb and I can barely walk on it, haha so I think it hurts. Anyways, I better go.

ttyl

I only wish....

If every word I said
Could make you laugh
I'd talk forever
I'd ask the sky just what we had
It showed forever
If the song I sing to you
Could fill your heart with joy
I'd sing forever
Forever, forever
I've been so happy loving you
Let the love I have for you live in your heart
And be forever
Forever, forever
I've been so happy loving you
If every word I said could make you laugh
I'd talk forever
Forever, forever
I'll be so happy loving you

My family

My mom wanted a picture of the fam on here so this is me, and my siblings. The Blonde guy is my oldest brother..Chad...he's 26...the other guy is Bram...He's 24...and then theres Alicia (20) and I.

Aww

So...my parents are still in florida. So my sister and I decided this weekend would be a good weekend to go up to camp to visit with the Matermans. It was really good. Alicia and I spent all day with Xavier on saturday playing hide and seek, and playing with his new play-doh. Oh, and we went outside for a while and played in the snow. I was stupid and didnt take snow pants, gloves, a hat or anything, so I went out with my winter coat (with a hood)...in my jeans and with socks on my hands. But it was good. We grabbed a sled for Xavier to sit on and he went down a couple hills, some by himself with one of us at the bottom waiting for him and the other one following close behind. And then his face got pretty cold cause he didn't like the scarf we made him wear, haha...so we went up...and along the way up the hill (for all of you who have ever walked up the hill behind the dining hall in the snow, it's pretty hard), Xavier was on his sled and Alicia and I were taking turns pulling him and I fell twice. Now the first time I fell...I looked back and Xavier was laughing away and giggling and nodding in approval, and then he got this stern look on his face and simply said "lets go" so we started again and I fell again and Xavier got this shocked look on his face and he was like "Need help?" and before I got to respond he crawled out of the sled, grabbed my hand to pick me up and then sat back down in the sled, it was so cute. But Everytime I see him he gets closer and closer to saying buttercup (which is my camp nickname). Now it's uttertup. It's so cute. Then he gets tired of saying the whole thing so he just started calling me tup. It was cute. And Sunday...Marty found a mouse in the Vaccum...and then decided to pick it up by the tail and bring it over to My sister and I just to hear us scream...so we both jumped up screaming and running across the room...and Xavier was laughing and pointing at us saying "just a mouse.HAHAHA) But UGH it was gross. Haha...but yeah...thats about it.

Love ya'll

Florida

So Im home from florida now. It was AMAZING! It really was. We spent most of the time in disneyworld, yes thats right folks, disneyworld. But we went to universal studios, and we went to a beach (which happened to be named after my sister...Cocoa beach)...and of course we did outlet shopping, you cant go to the states and not go to the outlet malls. And we went to a mall, and it had victoria secret, haha it was really quite funny. And there was a McDonalds no word of a lie it was like Chucky Cheese's(sp?). It was 2 floors, had about 200 video games, it had some air hockey and pool, and of course, a monstrous play place, which we attempted to crawl through and our knees hurt real bad the next day from being to big, haha. And we swam in the pool lots. Anyways, here are some pics of the trip, theres a couple of McDonalds one of on the plane and then some randoms. Oh, and theres a couple of when we looked up and saw God in the sky.

Love ya,
Court

Long awaited photos

K...so I FINALLY got my hair done today. I really like it, now the pictures don't show it very well, it's a lot more red then it looks.

I know that a couple people were waiting for the pictures, so here they are!

Consuming fire

K so heres the deal. sometimes I feel as if there should be more to my life then what there is. And I ask God for help. I have a God time, and that space is filled. There are times when I stop and think about this, and I ask myself if it makes me a bad Christian, because its almost as if Im fading in and out of Christianity and God-like Behaviour. I've come to a few conclusions, A- I am a Teenager, I have a few mistakes that Im allowed to make...as part of the teen life... B- I am human, meaning even more mistakes that Im allowed to make and C- well...there is no C. The thing is...there shouldnt be an A or a B, there should just be a G...(get it...G for God...haha...alright not so punny), but seriously. God expects us to make mistakes. Its how we deal with it. Now I've been listening to the song Consuming fire by Tim Hughes a lot lately, and Im gonna leave you with the lyrics. I dont want you to just read the lyrics. if you have the time...I want to see what you think.


Verse 1:
There must be more than this
oh breath of God come breath within
There must be more than this
Spirit of God we wait for you
Fill us anew we prayFill us anew we pray

Chorus:
Consuming Fire
Fan into flame
a passion for your name
Spirit of God fall in this place
Lord have your way
Lord have your way with us

Verse 2:
Come like a rushing wind
Fill us with power from on high
Now set the captives free
leave us abandoned to your praise
Lord let your glory fall
Lord let your glory fall
(repeat chorus)

Hair

Alright, so Im not going blonde. Im doing like dark red...ish instead. I'll post pictures when I get it done (unless of course it turns out bad, in that case I'll post pictures of what I'll look like for a while, with a hat on, haha. We went to Allisons concert last night, it was fun. Thank the lord there is only 10 school days left, I dont think I'd be able to handle anything else. Anyways, I have to go...School time.

see ya!

My God is mighty to save

everyone needs compassion
a love that's never failing
let mercy fall on me
everyone needs forgiveness
a kindness of a Savior the hope of nations Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save he is mighty to save
forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
so take me as You find meall my fears and failures
fill my life again i give my to follow everything i believe in
now i surrender Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save he is mighty to save
forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
shine your light and let the whole world see
we're singing for the glory of the risen King...Jesus


Alright, so Jesus and I had a long talk yesterday. I was at school, in PE. I was the Goalie in floor hockey and I started thinking about my life, odd time to start going all philisophical I know...but yeah. Jesus all of a sudden became so real, and stuff to me. He's always been real, but I think what hasn't been real lately was my full out relationship with him. this song Is so true. God is mighty to save. We have to shine our light out for him...otherwise there isn't a point in living. I feel like Im breathing Fresh air....Jesus just overcame me...and it feels amazing.


Oh...HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALICIA!!!

Kinda Random

I want to dye my hair blonde, is that a good idea or not? I cant decide. Is it a little drastic? If so, what color should I dye my hair? Any suggestions??

We have 2 fine boys staying with us this weekend....MMM....yummy, JUST KIDDING! They arent that fine...its Victor and Graeme, or as some of you may know them as...Bungee and Superman.

Im going to glenmore temples youth group tonight, because...well...I'm in the youth band, and I should probably be there. Christine McCmillian (sp?)...who is the old commissioner of the salvation army, is gonna be there. Im kind of excited to hear her speak, shes pretty cool.

The doctor finally realized that something is wrong with me, but doesnt know what. I had to get blood tests done today, and it sucked...I was doing good, then I looked at all the blood they were taking and I almost puked, haha.

I should go...bye!

Amazing night

Ok, so my dad got asked to speak at a mens thing in red deer, so my parents said that my sister and I could go to the camp to hang out with Rae and Xaiver, so we did. It was amazingly fun. We decorated sugar cookies, and it was fun. And I got to play hide and seek with Xaiver, hehe. And Umm....we exchanged Christmas gifts, a tad bit early, but thats alright. It was one of the best nights I've had in a very long time. I think Xavier missed my sister and Me. He wanted us to do everything with him, haha. I even ended up giving him a bath, haha. But it was good, quite enjoyable. I made the mistake of giving him a cup to see if he'd dump it on his head, therefore making it easier to wash his hair, but no, he dumped it on me instead, then proceeded to splash the water all over that place, in my general direction. Which was funny, haha especially considering I only had the one pair of pants, and the one shirt because we weren't spending the night, so I sat there in wet clothing, haha. It was fun. Anyways, Im gonna go,

Love ya'll
Courtney
