Halloween is Around the Corner!

Hello everyone!

So I know I haven't posted in a long time... but here it goes.

I can't wait for Halloween. My favorite Holiday of the year. Even just the way the air feels and the crisp of dead leaves under your toes. I love how the sun sets each night, embracing the earth for as long as it can. The air feels thick and clean. And musty with the smell of life going in to hibernation. I love driving on the road under the bleak sky, the beautiful oranges, reds and yellows accenting the gray. Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the heat though, so it's kind of hard to give it up. Anyways, who loves Halloween? I know I do. I am still deciding who I want to be for Halloween though. I am deciding between... Link from Zelda, Lucille Ball, Velma from Scooby Doo or a very cute orange and black witch costume online.

Well.. Sorry it was so short, but I've got to run!

Thanks for reading!

Ketchup

Or catch up if you prefer. I prefer ketchup. Wow! So much has gone on since the last time I posted... Here's the scoop!

I had a wonderful Christmas, filled with family, fun... and food! New Year's was great, and January was... January I guess. Monotonous... drab... Anyways... I had a violin recital in January though... So I guess that wasn't drab! Once February picked up, things started getting more fun! I auditioned for the play "Much Ado About Nothing", and I will get to that a little later. I had a fantastic Valentine's day, with flowers, chocolates, and a nice dinner. We had goat babies on February 18th I think was the day, and boy are they cute! Mama goat Suzie had triplets, and everything went great! She had two boys, and one girl. If you want to come see them, come soon! They are at one of their cutest stages right now. Let's see... Oh right! Much Ado About Nothing. I auditioned for Beatrice, and luckily I did get Beatrice! Very exciting! I am very busy memorizing lines, going to rehearsals, etc. My play is on April 13th and 14th at The Midvale Main Street Theater if you want to come! We went to Disneyland as you might have seen, and it was so much fun. Already I have heart ache to go back though. I guess I will have to wait until my birthday.... HINT HINT!! HINT!! Sadly, our favorite ride "Splash Mountain" was closed, along with my favorite land Critter Country. And another fun thing that happened in Disneyland, was that I got to play fiddle! There was a man in Frontierland playing his fiddle, and of COURSE I stopped to watch him. He asked where I was from, and asked if I played fiddle. Then he let me play his post Civil War inlaid violin! It was a dream come true! Another thing I suppose I should mention... I got a full sized violin! It is a 1998 Scott Cao violin. It was my violin teachers old violin, that she thought she was going to keep forever, until she stumbled upon a really GREAT violin for a really GREAT price! I loooove my new violin so much! It sounds amazing, and it is so beautiful to play. I can't think of anything else off of the top of my head right now... Me and my mom worked outside ALL day today! Guess that's all for now!

Toodle loo!

Disneyland!

Here are a few pictures from our recent Disneyland trip that I took with my mom, and Grandma Kay.












Here are a few pictures from our recent Disneyland trip that I took with my mom, and Grandma Kay.

WE'RE BACK!

Wow! That was a long trip. I am glad we are home, and safe now. I don't like leaving my pets, and my bed, and such at home. It was a fun trip though! I am glad that we got to go, and spend all that family time together. My dad's whole family made the effort to drive to Gilbert for a Thanksgiving. BRINGHURST STYLE! Thanksgiving is unbelievably nice in Arizona. So warm, and relaxing. Any who, my brain is kind of frazzled right now, so I am trying to organize my thoughts for this post. Basically, this is the stuff I am filtering. lkaus7ye8ryaBvlajhp;]q7wucfjhdfahj vausyf uYHP78y aos7di8f8iaj 8967w78346 t0p awriye o98qe yrqh3p4987feyhaqbwlehflo76qaet78oq8aiw2w7q34ityr 784o pqe8r7f yvpq98734wr7fy qpu8eyf qiwrufty qw7465r oqeywfihq eo8246y uoqr'wavgrwf7yqowietiuhf kqui3o4w8efsdhuyjbnqwf....... Yup. That's the stuff. Well, the trip started on Wednesday afternoon, when we left the homestead at about 3:30. A little later than what we wanted, but we were NOT ready! We drove to Vegas on Wednesday, and stayed the night in the Stratosphere. My Mom accidentally forgot to pack my dad's contact lens solution, so we had to stop at a local Walmart to buy some. We decided to take my mom's dog, Dill, with us, and I decided to take my bird Kiwi. That meant we had to smuggle them into the Stratosphere... Boy was that fun! Luckily everything went fine with that. Thursday morning, we moved right along, and got on the road to Arizona! We were about five minutes away from the hotel when my dad started getting an allergy attack from the new contact lens solution. He started sniffling, getting a tight chest, and runny eyes. So he had to take those out, and wear his glasses. That was interesting! Once we got to our destination, the trailer, we dropped off our stuff, and I put my bird in his cage so he could stay there while we went to Thanksgiving dinner. We headed towards the Woodards house which is in Gilbert, and ate a FANTASTIC(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Thanksgiving dinner! Graciously prepared by my Uncle Nate. There was turkey, of course, ham, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, jello, yummy yams, corn, and probably more, but I can't think of it right now! It was such a good dinner, and I loved it a ton. We then visited for a while, and then we went back to the trailer. Friday, we went to Goldfield Mine town in Apache Junction with the Bringhursts! It was alot of fun. Later that day, we had a birthday party for my cousin Ryliegh at Peter Piper Pizza. The next day, we just relaxed, went to lunch at Cilantro's, I mean, Oregano's, went to the Woodards (I baked cookies!) and then went to dinner at Sakana, While my Aunt and Uncle went to Jim Gaffigan... Lucky..... Sunday, we got ready to go home, and drove half way to Vegas, and Monday, we drove the rest of the way home! Now here we are. Home. Safe. Happy. My mom made the best dinner tonight too. She made cheese pasta salad, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, and broccoli, and cauliflower. It was the best! Anyways, I am way tired, so Toodleloo!

VACATION

Well, I can't post for long since there is so much to do, but... I thought I could try and squeeze this one in! We are going on a vacation! We are leaving tomorrow afternoon to head down to the Sunny Arizona. We were originally gonna go for two and a half weeks, then we were gonna go for one and a half weeks... now we are going for just a few days! It will be more like a vacation, because we will only have Dill, and it will be quick. Any who... We are going down for Thanksgiving, go figure, and it should be really fun! I hope my uncle Nate cooks up some goooood food! I am thinking about going to Black Friday in Arizona, But I am not totally sure yet. It would be a lot warmer than doing it here! Anyways, I have Sooooo much to do!

Happy Thanksgiving! Hope it is great...

Is that...?

Well, the other night, while my mom was having her book group, me, my brother, and my dad went out to dinner! We were trying to decide where to go, and we had a few special "needs" that night. I could only eat soup, or something soft, because I went to to orthodontist the day before, and all my teeth were sore. Brit wanted something vegetarian, and yummy. Like a garden burger. We were on our way to South Towne, and my dad suggested Mimi's Cafe. It sounded great to me, because I could get Corn Chowder, and a Bran muffin, and Brit could get a veggie burger! We went to Mimi's, got seated, and began our night. I ordered (of course), the corn chowder, and the bran muffin, and Brit ordered the French Quarter burger, with a garden burger substitute, and my Dad ordered the three course meal dealio. He got French Onion soup, Mahi Mahi entree, and a triple fudge brownie for dessert. I thought the meal was really good! It hit the spot just right... While my dad was eating his dessert, (letting us have some bites of course) This family came in. There was a man, and two woman. Now, there's something you have to understand here. They were all just a tad over-weight, one of the women didn't wear a bra, and the man had long hair, a beard, a lumber-jack coat, and he had his hood pulled up over his head. Not long after they sat down, I got a text. I looked at my phone, and the text was from my dad. The text read, "Don't stare, but the guy sitting behind Brit looks like Obi-Wan Kanobi" I, having already been "glancing" at him, knew exactly what my dad was talking about. I had my own thoughts about him. I texted my dad back, "I thought he looked more like Brian David Mitchell" The night continued on, until my brother asked, "Young, or old?" My dad replied, "Mmm, Old" I was very confused at this point until my brother asked again, "Episode 1, or episode 4?" By this point, I knew they were talking about "Obi-Wan David Mitchell". It was an interesting night! But the food was good, the company was great, and I had a good time.

THANKSGIVING

Wow, Thanksgiving must be one of my favorite holidays. All the food, family, but most of all, the FOOD! I love the turkey, the stuffing, the root vegetables, yams, pie.... I could go on and on! I look forward to it every year, and this year we will be in Arizona! I can't wait to bake pies, and yams, and turkey turkey turkey! Usually I am a fairly strict vegetarian, but during thanksgiving, that all goes out the window! I love to bake, for one thing, so if I am given the excuse to bake something, then boy oh boy will I bake it! Cookies, cakes, pies, anything that goes in the oven, I like to cook. And I have two aprons. One is a full body apron, that my Grandma Diane made for me, and it is SOOOO cute! I love it to death. I got it for my birthday this year! My other apron is a half apron that my Grandma Kay bought for me at Gardner Village! It is off white on one side, and the other side is white, with green and blue eggs on it. Then there is a blue/green/orange stripe going down the middle, and the pockets are way cute. OH and on the white side, it says Rise and Shine! It is my cleaning apron. Today I am feeling better, and I think I got whatever it was out of my system. Yay! Now we have a lot to do today, because my mom has her book group tonight. Should be fun! They read Little Britches. She is gonna make Chicken Dumpling Soup, Brandied Carrots, Custard Cream Pie, and, I think that's it. Should be fun! Me and my dad and brother are gonna go to dinner while she is having it. Well, There's a lot of work to do! I should be able to post again tomorrow.

Blustery Days

Today had been a great day for me. As far as the weather goes. I don't know why, but I just love blustery days. It could be because of Winnie the Pooh... Or maybe I just like to see things flying around in an uncontrollable fit. Whenever there is a blustery day like today, I say to my mom, "I love blustery days" she always says that she has never been a fan. I only like blustery days in the fall though. With all the leaves flying everywhere, and the bare trees swaying with the wind, the fresh nip of air that it brings, or maybe it's the secure feeling that I get when I look out the window. I love the smell, the sound, the feel, I guess I just love everything about blustery days. They make me want to run, be free. I love the way that the clouds caress the mountains, and the way the wind blows through the bare trees. It's really an amazing thing to me. I don't know what makes them so special to me, or why I like them so much. They are just cool. I think it may be because it reminds me of Disneyland. There is a Winnie the Pooh ride there, and there is a "blustery" room. It is so cute. Today has been okay for me. I went to my last class of Shakespeare, before we leave for Arizona. It was a bitter sweet day. My friend Haven made me a bracelet. It is very cute. I am glad I am not actually moving for good to Arizona, and leaving all my friends and family behind here. I know eventually I would adjust, and make new friends, but you can't replace friends or family. I am very grateful we have the option to come home, and visit with people. Anyways, I woke up this morning feeling "off". I think you probably know what I'm talking about. Waking up with achy muscles, fuzzy head, heavy eyes. I thought this was just a bit unusual, but didn't think much of it during my rush out the door to Shakespeare. When I got home, I started getting a sore throat. I had my mom look at it, and she didn't see anything unusual. I believed her, relieved she didn't find anything. I looked at my throat in the mirror, and noticed a white puss pocket. Dread... I could only see it from a certain particular angle, so it's no wonder my mom couldn't see it. We looked up some pictures of strep throat, and sure enough, saw those white pockets. We immediately assumed strep, and I just laid down to rest. I noticed my sore throat wasn't getting worse. I don't think I have strep, but I don't know for sure. I am keeping my eye on it, and taking some Umcka just in case. Umcka works wonders! I will keep resting 'till I start feeling better. Luckily there's Spongebob to keep me company. ;) I best be resting now. Thanks for reading!

My Title Here --->

I think I may have taken up a new hobby! Sewing! I have spent the past few days just sewing away! So far, I have made four pet beds, two outfits for my Build-a-Bear Cinny, an apron for my Grandma Diane, and a whole lot of experiments! It's so relaxing to cut, then pin, then sew it all together. Except when my cat Angel gets in the way, and makes everything a pain in the butt. Also, everything I have made has been recycled! I just use old clothes that don't fit anymore, and transform them into a pet bed, or an apron! I made Kelli's bed out of a tank top that my cousin Tiani gave me. It is a white shirt with black along the bottom, and yellow flowers on it. I made Angel's bed out of a button up tee shirt that I got at Target. It is a blue plaid shirt, with cute ruffles and such. I made Dill's bed out of a shirt that my aunt gave me. It is green with an argyle texture, and a stripe texture as well. And I made Jasmine's bed out of a dress that I got at Old Navy. It is blue and pink stripes! They are way cute. I made one of Cinny's outfits out of an old dress that I had. It had that scrunchy, stretchy fabric that is kind of like an elastic waistband, but it is pretty. I cut part of that off, and sewed it to the very bottom of the dress. The scrunchy fabric was white with blue polka spots, and the bottom had blue flowers and spots on it. I love that dress! It is so pretty. I also made a bow out of that fabric. Her other outfit is a nightgown. I took an old long sleeve pajama shirt that I had, and basically just brought in all the sides ALOT, and that was that! It is made out of really soft fleece. I love snuggling her in that. My Grandma Diane's apron is made out of some old brown Capri's that I had. They have the smallest brown and pink plaid I think I have ever seen! I basically just cut along the inseam of the pants, and hemmed all the spots that I cut. Then I took a Blue shirt that I had, and put it in the V spot where the inseam was, then I attached some light pink lace that I had for my Halloween costume last year to the bottom of the blue part of the apron. THEN I took a cute pink belt, and put it in the belt loops of the pants/apron. It is so cute! I plan to give it to her soon. Well, there is a big mess in the craft room that needs cleaning, so I'll be off! I should be able to post soon. 'Till then, Bye!

Catching Up

Hey Everyone! I know it has been a long time since I have posted, so here it goes.

Well, Lots of things have changed since the last time I posted! First of all, we will start with home school. This year has gone really well as far as classes, lessons, and things like that. I am taking a Shakespeare class on Tuesday mornings, and that is really fun. We are just finishing Macbeth this week. It was WAY good! We discuss our book, Macbeth, and we play games that help with actors training, and we learn dances of the Elizabethan Era, and act out little scenes from Shakespeare. It is SO much fun! I love this class to death. Not only is it a great learning experience, but it also is a great social experience as well! I have made many friends in that class.

Science
I am currently taking an amazing online Science class. It is probably one of my favorite classes, and I think I have learned the most from this class, than I have in any other class! We started out with a little history of science. Learning the earliest scientists, and then the most recent scientists. We then moved on to learning about THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD(echoey super-hero voice), and how to apply it to experiments. Right now, we are learning about the different types of Science. We are talking about Archaeology, Paleontology, and Geology. I always kind of feel bad for Geology. It's not as grand as Archaeology or Paleontology. Anyways, in Archaeology, we are talking about how a historical document, or something of that sort, how do we know it is true? There is the Internal Test, which tests to see if the document contradicts itself, the External Test, to see if it contradicts any other artifacts, places, or other documents, and The Bibliographic Test, which tests if the document is the same as the original. Pretty fun eh? I love this class to death, and last night I got 100% on my exam! I am so proud of myself! We even celebrated with sparkling cider.

Math
Math has been surprisingly easy this year! I am really starting to get the hang of it, and how it all works. My mom has been really working hard to make sure that I understand it, and remember it. I am behind a year or so in math, but that's okay, cause I am doing well, and I know I will catch up. I am right in the middle of learning about Decimals.

Violin
I am currently taking an awesome violin/fiddle class from Nisha Harman. I love to just play away on my violin. I could do it all day! I am currently starting a classical song, my first in about two years. It is Concerto in A Minor. It is a beautiful song, and I love to play it. I also am getting a little bit better at performing in front of people. I am fine performing for my mom, or dad, or brother. But anyone else, I am still a bit shaky in the knees! I love violin, and I think I will continue to play the rest of my life.

Art
I am not taking any art classes right now, but I would love too. One O, or two... Anyways I love to draw, paint, and anything of that sort. Last night I drew a cute little Snowman that I am really proud of. :)
...
In my opinion, the world is my school. Every time I take a step outside, I am learning something new. Whenever I have a question, I can just ask my teacher. I love to know that I learn something new every day. Even if it is something small, like remembering how to write a lowercase q in cursive. Each time we go to a play, or even to dinner. It's so refreshing. By the way, the world is a GREAT teacher. :)


Pets
Well, we still have a lot of pets! We recently sold some of our goats. We sold four babies, and one mama. They all went to great homes! Except last night I had a dream that we brought one of our baby goats back from their old home, because he was being abused, and forced to eat "fresh poo"... I have NO idea where that came from! We currently have two goats, our sweet buck, Riot, and our sweet doe, Suzie. I know I am a farm girl at heart, so I love to go out and take care of our animals! They are so fulfilling. We still have our two sweet ponies, Beau and Ginger. They are the sweetest ponies you could ever find! I love them to death! Especially when they are fuzzy for the winter. We have five chickens, three Rhode Island Reds, one Australorp, and one Silkie. They are so cute! Our Mother Hen's name is Fern, and our other two RIR's are named Autumn, and Honey. Our Australorop's name is Mortitia, and she is at the bottom of the pecking order. :( And our silkie, who is a rooster, his name is Mr. Bojangles. He is the funniest looking chicken! Ever! For some reason though, he doesn't like being the top chicken. I don't know why! We have four dogs still, Dodger, Jasmine, Jade, and Dill. Dodger is Brit's dog, and he is an Australian Shepherd mix, Jasmine is my dog, and she is a Blue Heeler mix, Jade is my dad's dog, and she is a Yellow Lab, and Dill is my mom's dog, he is a Yorkie Pekingese. We love our dogs, and they love us. I have two indoor cats, Kelli, and Angel, and they are dandy! And we have six outdoor cats that are faithful to staying with us. Mama Kitty, Tim, Shadow, Dream, Tabby, and Noelle. During the summer, our sweet Daddy Cat passed away. He is missed everyday. There are a few feral cats that hang around our property. One is named Koochy, and he looks just like Daddy Cat did, the other doesn't have a name, but she is really cute. She has crossed eyes, a grey coat, and she is really fuzzy. Her and our cat Shadow, who is mentally retarded, hang out together, and it is really cute. She lives in our horse trailer. Any name ideas for her? She is getting used to me and my mom a little bit. And then there's Kiwi. He is such a sweet little bird, and I love him to death! He is with me right now, watching me type, and eating a paper towel. He is so cute, and I love him to death! About a month ago, we found a kitten on the side of the road. She was pretty much dead from starvation. We brought her home, and fed her some soft cat food. She had diarrhea from the very start, and it never ceased. She would eat, and drink, but she still wasn't doing well. One day, she started doing a little bit better, we let ourselves get a little bit of hope that she was going to make it. Later that night, she passed on peacefully. I feel so grateful that we got to spend those few days with that sweet little kitten. She was the sweetest, most adorable thing in the world. I miss you Boo, and you will always have a place in my heart.

Life
Well now I'm all teared up! Sniff Sniff... Anyways, Life's good! I am really happy right now, and I love my life. I feel like I am a very privileged thirteen year old. The things I have said above pretty much are my life, aside from my family. Usually, I wake up, get ready for whatever class I have that day, take care of my cats, take care of my bird, then go to class. When I get home, I do my chores, and my other home school, then I have the rest of the day off! I have a wonderful life, filled with wonderful people. Recently, we got a banjo. It is sooo much fun to play! I have learned a couple of fiddle songs, the Dueling Banjo's, Yankee Doodle, O' Susanna, and When the Saints Come Marching In! It is a ton of fun to play! I taught Brit part of the Dueling Banjo's, and I played it on my fiddle, and we dueled! It was awesome! On Wednesday night, I went to a CCS dinner with my dad. My mom hurt her shoulder recently, so she couldn't make it. So my dad invited me! It was so cool, and I was so grateful I got to go! I got to meet all the people that dad works with, and I even got to meet Bishop Wester! He is so nice. I had soo much fun! Thanks for taking me dad! Today I am going to a movie with my friend Shelby! She is so nice, and it is her birthday today! We are going to see Despicable Me. I am way excited! And, I hope she likes her gift. I am so happy lately, and I just love everything about my life. Even the sad, and hard times. I am a very lucky girl.

Thanks so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed this post.

Have a nice day!

Pets

Hey, I know I should be posting about Christmas, and all that jazz, but I only have a couple of minutes. And Christmas was GREAT!!!!!!!!


anywhooo, I am posting about my pets!!

Angel
Angel is a sassamafrass!! She is always getting into fights with Dill, meowing for attention, sticking her butt in my face, you know, typical cat stuff. But Angel is so sweet to me. I love that cat soo much! Whenever I am laying in bed, She comes up and licks my face, and lays with me, and makes me feel safe! I love her so much.
Kelli
Kelli is probably one of the sweetest cats I have ever met. She is mentally retarded, but I still love her very very very much! She always gives me loves, and snuggles up with me at night to keep me warm(she is quite fat!), she is my doll, my darling, she is so sweet.
Beau
Beau, my pony. What an attitude! That little pony has an attitude as big as the sky! He is so sweet though, and loves attention! He thinks he is the king of the castle, and really, he is! He loves to boss Ginger around, and feel all mighty!
Ginger
Ginger is my other pony. She is so sweet, and alot like Eeyore. I love her though, she is my sweet girl, my Ginger. She is the best riding pony, although she is lazy, and cuts corners whenever she can! She is a crackup!
Goats
My goats are sweet, loveable, and tiny! We have three Nigerian Dwarfs, Riot, our very sweet, and stinky buck. Lucy, our people shy, crazy, loud doe, and Suzie, our sweet compassionate doe, who loves people.
Autumn
Autumn is my chicken. She is sooo sweet to us, and loves to be picked up. She is Rhode Island Red, and is a doll! We have two other RIR, Honey and Fern, and we have three Australorps. Our Rooster, Rossi, and two hens, Cruella, and Morticia.
Jasmine
ah Jasmine, she is as sweet as she can be, but she was abused for the first five years of her life. She has a hard time accepting, and giving affection. and hates loud noises. She is so sweet though, and I love her so much!
Kiwi
Kiwi is the sweetest bird in the world! I call him BB (short for Baby Boy) cause he is the most adorable baby boy in the world! He loves to whistle, and get mad at his toys, his favorite color is Purple, and he hates it when I type on the computer. He gets very very mad at my fingers! His favorite bands are, The contours, Green Day, Shinedown, most Disney songs, and The Andy Griffith Show theme! He loves to poop on my desk, and clean my teeth, he likes to be scratched on his head, and whistle. He chews on everything he can(including my keys on my keyboard...) and likes to monkey around and be silly! He is my sweet baby boy!

How come no one really comments on my blog anymore??

Dill

Dill. Definition: stinker, cutie pie, pain in the butt, comforter, family. Dill is a stinker. Maybe you know this, maybe you don't. Dill likes to chew things. Maybe you knew this, maybe you didn't. Yesterday night. Dill was extra bad. When we got home, we saw him chewing on some sudephedrin. My dad takes sudephedrin to cure his bad sinuses. They had to make sudephedrin and over the counter medicine, because people were giving it to their children, and accidentally overdosing them. We got the packet from Dill, and saw that there was only one left in the packet. He had one in his mouth. We didn't know if he had gotten any, or if he had, how many he had gotten. My Mom researched about what happens if your dog eats it, and it can be fatal. We called the vet, and took him in right away. They told us they were going to induce vomiting, and give him activated charcoal to soak up any of the sudephedrin that may already be in his intestines, and told us that we could run some errands for a little bit, and come back in an hour. Well, we went home and we got Brit, so that we could find him a winter coat. We were headed to Sports Authority when my Mom got a call. It was the vet. She told us that he had eaten a few pills, and that one pill was fatal. She told us that we could take him to an animal emergency clinic, where he would get the most aggressive treatment. He would have to stay over night. She said, he still might not make it. After hearing this, we picked up Dill, not knowing if this was the last time we were going to see him or not, and headed to the animal emergency clinic. They took him in, and the family sat. And waited. They told us he was doing much better than they thought, and they let us know that we could say goodnight. We walked into the place where they were keeping him, and he had IVs, and things stuck to his chest. He had a big cloth wrapped around his neck, holding a monitoring system. Dill was distressed. We had to say goodbye, hoping we would see him tomorrow, knowing we would not be able to sleep, and left. We went home, got some dinner, and hoped for the best, hoping for little ten pound Dill to pull through. We slept. The next morning my Mom got a call. Dill made it. He made it through the night. We were so happy. If Dill had died, the world as we know it would have shattered for us. I was overjoyed. Dill. Definition: Alive.

Love

I love my Kiwi, my dog, my chickens, my horses, my cats, my house, my life, my yard, my chores, my Cinnamon, my blankets, fresh water, being able to go to school and being educated, my friends, my aunts, my uncles, my cousins, my grandparents, my room, my pillow, my stuffed animals, but most of all, I love my mom, becuase she does so much for me, helps me with my hair, and loves me in every way that she possibly can, she helps me, and holds me close to her heart. My dad, because he works so hard to make me happy, and take us on trips, and give me food to eat, because he is a character, that keeps us laughing, and he loves me so much. My brother, because we are best friends, we don't argue, because he teaches me patience, and the value of life. I love my family. they are fantastic! Thanks so much!


Hug hug, kiss kiss, hug hug, big kiss, little hug, kiss kiss, little kiss.

This is to my great Gramscrackers. 1921-2009


For Gramscrackers

Through the years we’ve had,
The tears we shed,
The hugs we’ve shared,
And the memories you’ve given,

My Great Gramscrackers,
So sweet and independent,
Has past so peacefully,
She deserves so much credit,

While washing sisters,
And walking asleep,
A sweetheart in World War Two,
A sweetheart in Heaven,

My Sweet Gramscrackers,
I love you so much,
I hope that you know,
You would never give up,

I hope you are happy,
And peaceful as well,
Through the gold gates of Heaven,
I meet you again.

Catch up...

I need to post but I'm not feeling creative. So here it goes!


Homeschool

Well first off, Me and Brit started our school year, and so far it is going really well! On Tuesdays, we have Shakespeare, History, and Physiology, and I haven't tried Shakespeare yet, because the lady who is teaching it was out of town for the first week. And then on Wednesdays, we have Spanish, Art, Creative writing, and Constitutional studies. And THEN on Thursdays, we have Social dance, Entrapranuership, and Physics, and I have violin at 4:30 :D and of course, we do math at home, but that pretty much covers everything else!


Me

Welllll, first off, wait. Ummm Second off, I am trying to decide how to repaint my room. I am thinking light blue, or pink walls, with argyle or something cute on them. Any ideas? I want something really cute, but I am not quite sure what I really want. SO let me know! And like I said before, I am not feeling very creative so... BYE!!!
