Hi-

Today is my Dad's birthday. So for his birthday my parents are going to Colorado for 5 days! Dad is pretty excited about this! They are leaving tomorrow morning (pray that they get there safe!) and they are coming back on Monday sometime. My mom went to Colorado when she was younger but my dad has never been there. I really want to go with them! :\ Collin (my little brother) keeps telling him that he wants to go with them so he can see some mountains. :) He doesn't really get that he can't. lol I guess he'll find out tomorrow. Poor man! :( lol

While my mom and dad are gone our second mom (we aren't really related at all but all us kids have know her and her daughter our whole lives. We call her our second mom and her daughter is our adopted sister! :o) lol) is staying with us for the whole time except for Sunday night. Nate and Leah (my sister and brother-in-law) are staying with us for that night. I am super excited to have Lucy (our friend) stay with us!! :D So fun!! Lindsay (Lucy's daughter. She is married and has 2 kids) might come down here with her 2 kids (Cade and Claire) and spend 2 nights with us while Mom and Dad are gone. This weekend is going to be so much fun! Except for the fact that Mom and Dad won't be here with us to have fun. But they get to see Lydia so I am sure they will have lots of fun with her and in Colorado. Not fair that they get to spend so much time with Lydia. :( :( Only a month till I get to see her!! :] Yay!!

That's it for now! Thanks for reading!

In Christ,
Bethany

Today

2012-03-02T16:45:00.000-08:00

Hello!

Today is Lydia's 19th birthday!! She is in CO though so we won't be able to celebrate her special day with her.
:( We sent her a package with all her birthday gifts in it though so she should get it in a day or 2. :) I think she will like that a lot! (she loves getting mail)

This morning Amanda, Logan and I went to MOPS to babysit. It was lots of fun spending the morning with a bunch of cute little kids! :P lol Then mom took us younger kids went to a friends house for the afternoon. That was also a lot of fun. Now we are all home and getting ready to have a delicious meal of mashed potatoes, bacon wrapped pork chops, vegetables and dinner rolls! Yum! :P Aren't you all jealous! (haha jk jk) Oh and we have a friend here for supper. Always fun having guest at this house. ;)

Hope you all have a wonderful and peaceful night with your family's!!

Busy life!

2012-02-29T18:06:00.001-08:00

Hey folks!

Lately life has been super crazy for us Seibel's here. Sometime's it is kind of fun to have lots to do and places to go but lately it has been WAY to crazy! It is kind of becoming our normal life but I am not liking this normal. :\ Here is my schedule for the week. (yup! it's really busy!!)

Sunday- I had to stay home from church because I wasn't feeling to good. (that was an okay day. lol)

Monday- I had tons of school to do and I didn't get all of it done. Then that afternoon I went shopping with Amanda and then after that I got to go home and relax. :)

Tuesday- I had a cello lesson and we had to leave at 12:30pm and I was gone literally ALL afternoon. Oh and that morning I had school

Wednesday (today)- I did some school and then had to leave to go to sewing class and that was all afternoon and then straight from sewing class we had to go to Sylvia's piano class and than took an hour so that is another hour that I was not home!! ugh!

Thursday- This is the first day that I get to stay home all day (I think! Lets hope it stays that way! xP)!! Yay!

Friday- I won't get any school done because I am going to MOPS with my sister (to babysit come cute little kids!). That will be a pretty fun day! I think that might be all I am doing that day but that depends. :) (Friday si also my big sister Lydia's birthday but she won't be with us for the day! (She will still be in CO) She is turning 19!! Time flies when your having fun!! lol :P)

Saturday- I don't think I am doing anything on Saturday either. But again it is a Saturday (no school and more time to do other things) so we may have something going on.

So there. That's what my week has/ looks like. Sound fun?

-the only person that posts on this blog. (LOL) (guess who that is???? LOL xP haha)

2012-02-22T18:54:00.001-08:00

Anyone want to buy some jewelry? :P lol

Just stuff

2012-02-18T10:18:00.000-08:00

Well, we haven't really been doing anything lately but since I haven't written on here in awhile so I decided to write. :)

Lydia is doing good in CO. We have talked to her little bits at a time. She is all settled in and is really liking it there and she says that it is really challenging. We all miss her here of course but we are doing okay. :) Collin keeps asking us and her (when we talk to her) when she is coming home. It makes her cry almost every time he says that. :( Poor Lydee!

Our friend from Germany is here. She is leaving on April 11th. She is taking Amanda with her to Germany and she is going to stay with Jasmin and her family till May 5th. They are going to spend a week in Italy (I am so jealous!! x( lol) and they are going to go to Paris. x( Ugh! can't wait till my turn! :P lol

Well, talk to you later.

Bethany

Today :(

2012-02-11T14:16:00.000-08:00

Right now my oldest sister, Lydia is flying through the air. She is on her way to Colorado. She will be there for 2 months for a discipleship training program. She is really excited about this but is going to miss us a lot. As will I. I don't know what I am going to do without her here! It is almost like she moved out and I won't get to see her for months. (just like my oldest sister, Emily.) We will try to get along as best we can with out her I guess. :( It will be very hard. I already miss her and really can't wait to see her again in April! Please pray for safe travel for her and protection while she is there.

That's it for now.

Hello Friends,

Just updating you on my little nephew. He is not here yet. :-/ We are all so excited and can't wait to meet him! It is really hard to wait for him. He is taking to long! Ugh! This is a test for our patience for all of us. I don't know how well we are doing though! :-\ Anyways, please pray for Emily, as this is hard to wait and that she would be strong for the delivery. And please pray for Ryan! That he would be strong and healthy.

I think that is it for now. I will keep you posted on everything else. :)

With love,
Bethany

Happy New Year! (and other things)

2012-01-01T14:10:00.000-08:00

Hello Friends and Family,

Wishing you a very happy, peaceful, healthy, beautiful, wonderful, and blessed New Year!

It has been snowing here since early this morning! We get it all after Christmas. :\ Ugh!

Anyways, yesterday/last night we all had a ball! It was so much fun! First, we went to see the movie Tintin with my Grandpa, aunt and cousins, at the theater. Then we all went our to McDonalds for lunch and then to bowling. When we got home we had the Reihl family over. The kids stayed till midnight but Mrs. Reihl left around 9:30pm I think. It was a lot of fun! We ate lots of our favorite New Years snacks and we played a lot of fun games! :) I went to bed at midnight. I am so tired right now! :\

So, that is what we all did! Hope you all had as much fun as we did! :)

Happy New Year!
Bethany

Life in general

2011-12-28T09:56:00.000-08:00

Well, this week we have pretty much just been re-cooperating from Christmas weekend. That means that we get to sleep in and do no school! :) I am so loving this! lol :P Anyways, here is what we are doing this week.

Sunday- CHRISTMAS DAY!

Monday- We had Christmas with my moms sister and my cousins. It was a lot of fun! We played a lot of games and just had fun with them.

Tuesday- We did nothing. ;) lol

Wednesday (today)- Amanda went down to Illinois with a good friend of ours. They went to stay with Chad, Emily, Ivy and little Ryan. They are coming home on Friday.

Logan has a basket ball game tonight in Rosendale. I think we are all going to that. I am actually looking forward to it. Surprisingly. Since he has been talking about it since Monday. :-/ Ugh

Thursday- I don't think we are doing anything tomorrow either. :(

Friday- Amanda and Lucy (our friend) are coming home. I think we are all going to a friends Christmas party that night too.

Saturday- NEW YEARS EVE! We are going bowling and then to a movie with my aunt (my moms sister) and my cousins! I am pretty excited about that. :)

Well, I think that's it. :) I know, it sounds like a pretty boring week. But you know what? The best part is getting to just relax for the week! Yay!

I'll post more later.

With Love,

Bethany

(D.O.T.T.K.) (guess what that means ;))

Our family Christmas Concerts

2011-12-14T10:14:00.000-08:00

Hey!

This weekend please join us in prayer as we perform our family Christmas concert at the PAC in Fond du Lac on Saturday the 18th. We are doing 2 that day. One at 1pm and the other at 6pm. Both at the PAC. We know that there will be a lot of people there that don't know Christ as their personal Savior. Please pray that God's light will shine through us there and always! We have a dress rehearsal on Friday night so please pray that that will go well too. We did our first concert on Saturday the 10th in West Bend and it went very well. The people there heard the gospel there as well so you can also pray that they would get saved. :)

Thanks for joining us! Maybe we will see you there (if you got tickets. They went really fast! :-/)

With Love,
Bethany

This weekend

2011-12-08T11:08:00.000-08:00

Hello!

Tomorrow (Friday) my sister, brother-in-law, niece and nephew are coming! They are coming for the weekend because of our concert in West Bend this Saturday. Tomorrow we have a rehearsal for it. I can't wait to see them but I am not really looking forward to practicing for the concert. But soon it will all be over! I really enjoy the concerts but I don't like the practices. :-/ Oh well. :) After this weekend we have 2 more concerts to do on the 18th and then we are done! Oh goody! lol :P As you can see I am looking forward to haveing my normal life back. And getting caught up in school. (I think I am pretty behind now. :-/ Yuk!)

So as you can see life is very busy here and it always is. :)

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas if I don't talk with you before then!

In Christ,

Bethany Grace

My crazy life!

2011-11-19T19:01:00.000-08:00

Hey!

Sorry I haven't posted in so long. :\ Yikes!

Anyways, last week was our last performance of "Oliver Twist". Our family is in a home school drama group and that was our play this year. It was really well and it was tons of fun! Logan was Dodger, Sylvia, Natalie and Lillie were orphans in the workhouse, and I was an added part named Kit. We all really enjoy being in these plays and really look forward to it every year! I am really sad that it is over though. :( That is the hard part. Getting over the fact that I won't get to see friends twice a week anymore. Or at least until next year. But there is always something to look forward to. :)

On Thursday, the 10th, I turned 13 years old! I can't believe that I am a teenager! So weird! :) But yet really fun! I got to get my ears pierced (I will post pics later) and I got to go out for lunch with my mom too. It was a wonderful day! Even though we had a dress rehearsal that night for our play. It was really fun to see everyone on my birthday too though. I have some really awesome friends who all wished me a "Happy Birthday". :) Thank you everyone!

Well, I think that is about it. :) Thank you for reading this.

In Christ,

Bethany

My dad

2011-08-22T19:47:00.000-07:00

Please lift my dad up in prayer. Last night he was having a lot of pain by his kidney. Mom thought for sure it was kidney stones so she took him to the ER but the doctors said that is wasn't kidney stones but they don't know what is causing the pain. They gave him an antibiotic for the pain. He stayed home from church to rest this morning and now is doing a lot better but is not completely better and still has a some pains every now and then. He was drinking a tea for the pain before so I think that helped. (He said that the tea is awful! He hates tea and coffee. :P lol)Please keep him in your prayers! Pray for the pain and a fast recovery. He has next to no pain when he is on his antibiotic but once that wares of he has lots of pain. I will update you later on how he is doing.

Thanks for praying!

~Bethany~

Some very happy news!!

My stay at Lucy Konen's and more :)

2011-08-11T08:51:00.000-07:00

This past Wednesday Natalie and I left to go to Lucy Konen's house. Lucy is a very dear old friend! I have known her all of my life. :) She often has some of us sleepover at her house. It was our turn and so we came up here and last night was our first night! We had a very nice time with Andrew and Lindsay (Lindsay is Lucy's daughter) Lentz. We went to Bay Beach and had a very fun time there with Cade and Claire. (Lindsay's kiddos!) Cade fell of one of the park benches there and has a little bump on the back of his head so you can all be praying that that would heal up fast. Poor little man! :( Today we are going to shop then after lunch we will go to a place called Panit, Pottery & Bead It! to paint some things! This will be Natalie's first time there! :) We are really excited to be here and are having a blast with Lucuy, Andrew, Lindsay and the kiddos! :)

Also Amanda (my older sister) got back last night from a short turm mission trip to Joplin, Missori! I have not yet seen her so I am not sure how she is doing but I know she had a very good time there in Joplin. A few other teens from our church went with her as well as my two cousins (Chelsea and Preston) and Chelsea's boyfriend! :)I look forward to hearing from her and I will post more about her trip and maybe a few pictures since she took the camra with her. :)

Hope you are having a blessed day!

In Christ,
~Bethany~

My life right now :)

2011-08-03T16:05:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone!

Here's whats going on in my life right now. :)

I decided that I want to buy me own camera! :) But I have no way of getting the money for that. I have been asking God to bring me a babysitting job. Well so far he hasn't answered that prayer but I am still waiting on him.

I recently got back into making jewelry. I was asking God if that was his will for me that day. This was all happening last week, the week of EAA. We had a friend staying with us because she was helping out at EAA. I had made a few pairs of earrings (I posted 2 of them), one for my sisters birthday. I showed Kyra (the friend) them and she especially liked the purple ones and was going to ask if she could buy them from me. But before she could ask that I told her that I had made them for Emily's (my sister) birthday. I told her that I could make her some but she could pick out the beads that she wanted. She agreed to that and told me that she would pay for them since that is what she was going to do with the other ones. It was already late so i couldn't make them that night but we got the beads picked out and everything was ready so I could start right away in the morning. Well the next morning I was up bright and early making Kyra's earrings for her. (She had to go to EAA with Amanda to help there) I had them done by the afternoon (Kyra and Amanda would get home after supper sometime) and they were all ready and waiting for her. :) (we had been texting each other and I told her they were all ready for her :).) While she was gone I made some other things and as I was making some jewelry I was talking with Sylvia and I was telling her what had happened that day. How God had answered my prayer right away! It was AMAZING!! He had really answered my prayer the next day! Kyra loved/loves her earrings and was able to wear them that Sunday! I give all the glory to my wonderful Father in Heaven! On that note, I am now selling necklaces, bracelets and earrings (and I made my first rig today). Please let me know if you would like to purchase any sort of jewelry. You are also welcome to tell me what color you would like the beads to be and what shape. I am selling everything pretty cheep and the money will go toward my camera so you will be helping pay for that! :) So please feel free to comment on this, email, or call me. (If I see you soon you can also just let me know then :).) I am looking forward to doing this!

Thank you again for reading this! I hope you are having a lovely summer and enjoying every bit of this beautiful weather that God has given us! :)

In Christ,

~Bethany~
