Oh my goosh! I haven't posted since July, lol. So like.. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much has been going on i could never post about it all. But I'll just say a few things that has happened.

In July, I went to a second youth camp (Youth America) with my friends and it was SO FREAKING AMAZING! I might post some pictures later. I would do it now, but I'm using the laptop we just got, and it doesn't have any pictures on it. But YA was SO much fun. Definitely going back again next year!

Two close family friends got married! Reid is 17, and Kat turned 18 the day of their wedding. Young, but I think it'll work out. They got God on their side :)

I saw Eclipse. DEFINITELY the BEST of the three movies so far :) But I can't believe they didn't put the famous "eclipse" line in it!!!!!!! Taylor looked great ;)

August 4th, my youth pastor's baby, Chloe, was born!!!! She's adorable! Love her :)

Maddie had another litter of kittens. Two adorable ones! (pics later). A beautiful blackish one, and a white one with black patches. I gave them two my friend Juliana :) Oh, and we gave Jinx away, but kept Kylie :) (Jinx and Kylie are from Maddie's first litter)

Started chemistry. It's hard sometimes! Because I'm having trouble with the lab notebooks, I have a D in chemistry now haha :P Gotta bring that up!!

Back in august, our youth group had a Speed The Light fundraiser by serving food to people in our church. Me, Jonathan, and Emily I think did a skit and it was fun :) We were so nervous we were shaking haha. I was sure people could tell, but mom said she couldn't so that's good haha. But it was a lot of fun, and I can't wait to do it again!! :D

My best guy friend, Jonathan, turned 16 on August 24th!! He can drive! :O he's a great driver, so that's good haha.

Went to the Imax with mom and Taylor to see a show about dolphins and whales :) Then we walked around a little bit and saw a few things.

August 31st,.. GOT MY FRICKIN' PERMIT!!!!!!!!! :D I love driving!!!!!! I can get my license in February I think!!

All through the month of September, our youth had a thing called "september rush" where we ate every wednesday night, and had cool special things, and gave out prizes for stuff and other stuff haha.

Went to the fair with a bunch of friends and it was AWESOME!!! Jonathan asked Taylor out, and now they are an ADORABLE couple :D It's so cute, haha. He asked her out on one of the rides :) He was going to ask her on the ferris wheel, but me and two other friends were forced to ride in the same thing, so that didn't happen.. He asked her on one of the fast rides haha :P Then she came back to me and my friends with a HUGE smile and we're like "what??" *she keeps smiling* "what th-- OH!!!!!!!!!!" haha it was funny.

Went skating with my brother and 3 other friends and it was SOOOO much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me and Maggie sat down on some little car ride thing for little kids, and it goes, "You're fat!" haha

I got a new guitar teacher this year, and me and my brother are doing a cooking class by my friends mom. It's ok.

I took the ACT, and got my scores back yesterday. First time taking it, and I got a 21!! :D

Paul Walker turned 37.

Our youth had ISI (Iron Sharpens Iron) which is where Mrs. Sara takes us girls somewhere (we went to the prayer room) and talks to us, while Pastor Dan talks to all the guys. It was a lot of fun! Us girls got to wear pjs and stuff :)

Went to the mall with Jonathan, Taylor, and Jon's older bro Daniel. It was a lot of fun!! Mostly just hung out and stuff. We also saw Toy Story 3 (my 2nd time seeing it). Loved it!!!

I've decided to go to UTM when i graduate, and me and mom went on a tour the other and i I LOVED IT!!!!!! Can't wait to move in haha.

Part of september rush, saturday, we had Super Sloppy Saturday. It was SO MUCH FUN!! And very messy! We played a game where the 3 people from each of the two teams (my team was Team Awesomest) had to stand in these two kiddy pools while the rest of the teams went to find 6 bananas, 2 chocolate syrup bottles, whip cream, and sprinkles (all of that was hidden everywhere) and then come back and put it all over the people in the pools. I was one of the peoples in the pools and it was awesome haha. I loved it!! Then we did a relay race. The two teams were in two lines, and we had to crawl to the baloons filled with shaving cream, pop it, then run to the slip and slide, then bob for grapes in water with noodles and then after all of our heads being stuck in it, the water was NASTY!!!!! And then we played an epic water balloon fight :) so it was AWESOME! Can't wait till next year :D Pics later

Friday, I'm most likely going to another fair with most of the same friends I went with to the last fair. Then saturday, our youth is having a Youth Rally and I CAN'T WAIT!! IT"S GOING TO BE SOOO COOL AND AWESOME!!!!!!!!! I really hope my friend Teddy can come, because I haven't seen him since Youth America, but he lives two hours away so he might not be able to come. Also, like 25 people from some ministry thing are going to be there and at our church the next day, and they need people to stay with, so we're having 3 or 4 guys stay at our house :) I'm so excited to meet them!!!

Next friday, my friend Esther is having a birthday sleepover, and I'm excited!! :D

Ok, well I guess that covers most of it for now haha. :P I'll try to post later! Right now I'm supposed to be doing school.. So I guess I should get on that.

Oh! One last thing. For my english class, we have to have a blog to write things on, and because we're meeting on there once a month instead of class, so I'm using my writing blog for that :) I've already done two assignments, so check it out by clicking HERE!!!
K, that's all for now!!!

Peace
Sarah

There's not much to post, but I'm bored, so I'ma post anyways.
Yesterday, me and Rachel pretty much just stayed in her room for the entire day and didn't really do anything. We were going to go on a bike ride, but then it started raining :( Then Mr. Daddy rented the 2nd and 3rd Pirates of the Caribbean movies, so we watched the 2nd one, then went to bed.

And today, we haven't really done anything either. We had doughnuts for breakfast (which, might I add, were delish!) and then kinda just did whatever. Then we watched the third POC and it was awesome but had an ending that needed to be continued in my opinion, but it won't be :( The fourth POC is coming out in May of next year, but it won't be continuing the story... It's just about Jack, and I'm pretty sure its based off a book, and Will, Elizabeth, and Regetti aren't going to be in it!!! :( So it's not really Pirates of the Caribbean...

Oh, today, The Last Airbender came out!! I really want to see it. We MIGHT go see it tomorrow. Well, that's mine and Rachel's plan. We haven't talked to her parents about it yet, lol. But, hopefully we can.

My mom called a couple days ago, and she took Jesse to the vet, and she has hookworms and heart worms but I don't think it is that bad. But I'ma pray that it won't get worse. Especially the heartworms, because mom said it could get worse and it would be really expensive to do something about it. Oh, and Maddie is pregnant again.. I need to quickly find homes for her kittens Kylie and Jinx. Then, after she has this next litter, we're getting her fixed! Then I gotta find homes for them... :\ I'm attached to Kylie and Jinx though, so it's going to be hard to give them up :( But I have to...

So far, it's been eight days that me and Rachel have been together, and we haven't gotten on eachother's nerves that bad, so that's good. We came up with this lil thing to do everytime we start to argue or something, and it's really funny so we just laugh and forget about what we were arguing about :) Still got like a week left with eachother though.. But I think we can make it :) On our way back, we will be stopping at Rachel's reletives house in Georgia. Yup.

I'm bored, lol. I wish I had more to post about, but I can't really think of anything. Except that I'm listening to this song called "Somebody Out There" by David Archuleta, and I really like it!! Here, check it out:

It gives me a slight idea for a book or something. I hope it works out :) If I even start it, lol. I hope I will. I've been thinking about starting a story for a while now, and have been playing with different ideas, but haven't figured out a story line. I haven't even written anything down yet, lol.

One last thing before I go. I have decided to become a pirate.
<3

2010-07-01T23:48:00.000-05:00

So, yesterday, wesa all went canoeing/kayaking. We as in: Me, Rachel, her mom, and two younger brothers and their dog, Bambi. Me, Mrs. Mommy, Rachel, and Bambi rode in the canoe, and the boys rode in the kayaks. The river thingie we rode on was only like 3 foot deep or something. We went out to a small little island and ate Subway that we had bought before. Me and rachel took the kayaks a lil ways out and drifted like a lot lol. I put my turtle silly band on my leg so i would tan around it and theres the faintest lil white spot where one of the turtles feet goes :P So I gotta keep working on it. Since we had drifted out so far, it took what seemed like a long time to get back to the lil island, and it hurt pretty bad lol.

Me in da water

The land to the right is part of the little island we stopped at

Rachel and me :)

Bambi aka Bambers :)

When we got back to the little island, we kinda just hung out, and we saw groups of fishies jump out of the water and it was SO cool!! I wish I got pictures. And then when me and rachel got back in the canoe, and Mrs. Mommy was out of it, pushing us off, I saw a small shark about 7-10ft away from us coming towards us! I was like, "Look! A shark!" in a way like "oh, that's cool" and not in a scary way lol, then Mrs. Mommy saw it and freaked out and jumped in the boat, haha. But it swam away. It was really cool! Wish I got pictures :(

When we got home, we tooks a shower then went to church. Mr. Daddy teaches the youth, and I really liked his preaching and his sermon :) After, we had YUMMY cookies :D

Then today, me, Rachel, Mrs. Mommy, Mr. Daddy, Lil Bro, Liler Bro, and rachels aunt and uncle all went boatin. Rachel's fam has a tube called Big Bertha and that was a lot of fun! Rachel's uncle fell off. He was going like really fast, lol. Then when Mrs. Mommy and rachel's aunt went, they kinda fell off after Mr. Daddy stopped the boat because the tube had lost a lot of air. Then the second time me and Rachel rode, when we stopped, I kinda pushed her in the water, then I went in too.

Me and Rachel

Rachel and me on Big Bertha :)

Gettin stuff off the boat!

Then wesa went home and went to Rachel's room. Rachel was tired so she kinda dozed off on the bed. I just sat there and looked at her brothers yearbook. Then pizza arrived!! And I ate that and watched Sky High, then me and rachel went back to her room (where I is right now) and watched a lot of hilarious youtube videos :) mostly Ed Bassmaster's vids. He's soooooo funny.

Well, that's about it so, until next time!

Saturday, me and rachel spent like all day painting our nails haha. Then Sunday, me and Rachel watched/teached the preschool kids at church, then wesa went home and rode our bikes to the park and took a few pictures.

Then we came back and watched Elf until Rachel's aunt and uncle came and then soon after we went to bed lol.

Then Monday (yesterday), we went to da beach! First beach we went to was mostly just rocks, so we didn't swim, but took a few pictures.

Then we went to a beach we could actually swim at and that was a lot of fun. We saw a hot surfer dude :P then he totally wiped out haha. Here are pics from that beach.

The surfer dude

Me and Rachel

Later that night, we watched The Master of Disguise and that was hilarioius :)

2010-06-26T17:02:00.000-05:00

Wow. I haven't posted on here since like.. March lol. Well instead of catching up on things, I'm in Florida right now!!

I'm sitting on Rachel's bathroom floor, doin junk on the computer while Rachel paints my toenails pink :) The day before yesterday, me and Luke flew in and got here around 11 or so. Me and Rachel stayed up till like almost 4am lol. Then the next day I unwillingly woke up at around 10 to the smoke alarm going off... darn u batteries.

Rachel's friend Alena and her lil sis were over here and we went to the pool and then to the beach which was fun. Alena is funny :P Oh yeah, we also took Rachel's other friend Anna to the beach too. It was a lot of fun, minus the sea water that went in my mouth or nose lol. We climbed on the rocks some, and we found this awesome spot that looked like a rubber ducky! Check it out:

Then today, me and rachel went to Wally World, and I bought:

And some Toy Story 3 silly bandz that I ended up not likeing so I gave them to Rachel's little brothers :P I have three silly bandz (thats all i want lol). A turtle, Dinosaur, and an 'S'. As seen in the picture, I bought a Spiderman electric toothbrush even though i just got two new toothbrushes recently :P It was just really cute and rachel got a pooh bear one.

Oh yeah, and yesterday evening, Luke and Rachel's brother, Zack, went to Europe! Here's a few pictures of them as they were leaving the house:

Two tourists going to Europe: A tennessee redneck and a florida fisherman haha. Zack didn't really wear the hat tho :P

Last night, me, Rachel, and Anna watched Pirates of the Caribbean (mine and Anna's first time watching it) and I really liked it! It was funny :P I love Captain Jack Sparrow lol. He's hilarious. Tonight, we're watching Up :) I love that movie and I can't wait! And then later sometime wesa gonna watch the other POC's. Tomorrow at church, me and Rachel are watching or teaching (or something) the preschoolers. Yup. Until later, bye!!

WINTER JAM!!!! Oh yeah!

2010-03-08T00:09:00.001-06:00

Oh, I just noticed this is my 201st post. Well that's not what I'm posting about. Tonight was... WINTER JAM! Oh yeah! It rocked :) Me and my youth group went together and had so much fun! The bands there (that I remember) were: Fireflight, Newsboys, Third Day, New Song, Tenth Avenue North :D, and one or two others I don't remember. TAN was my fav, then Third Day.

My bff Rachel was there with her friends Charis and Teddy and I got to see them! I haven't seen rachel since last august!!! And she's coming over tomorrow :D:D:D Here are some pictures:

some of the crazy lookin youth group :P

My crazy but awesome and lovable youth pastors:

Fireflight

Everyone's cell phone lights :P

HUGE baloons they had bouncing around the room. They didnt last long.. they all popped

Afterwards at Sonic. haha we're so weird (thats me and my youth pastors)

ME in my glasses

ok so this next picture needs some explaining :P So my friend (let's call him... Jon) orderded something at sonic where the cars r supposed to order. So he got on Nivek's (not real name :P) back and pretending like he was in a car and the women came out with his blast, and it was so funny! I got it on video, I might put it on here later. But she didn't know what to think, and Jon had the most serious look on his face through the whole thing while everyone else was laugh. :P well heres a picture (before the waitress came out)

TTYL!

Until next time, my friends!

Heyy

2010-03-03T15:10:00.000-06:00

Hey!
I don't really have much to post, but I feel like posting...
So the zoo around where I live is having a photo contest! It has to be pictures that I took from their zoo, so these are the two pictures I picked out and I'm going to enter!

I love those pictures :) The prize is a zoo membership, a gift shop gift card and... something else i don't remember.. It doesn't really matter to me if I win or loose, but it will be fun :) Oh yeah, the other prize is a zoo calendar. Cuz I think they're gonna make a calendar out of the winner's pictures or something. The contest doesn't even start until April, but I'm planning ahead.

I just posted that Polar Bear picture and two more from the zoo on my picture blog if you wanna see. The link is on the sidebar, or you can go here: http://agomqpictures.blogspot.com/

I also just posted a cool short essay my friend and I wrote. You can check that out here: http://writings-tcg.blogspot.com/

Tuesday, in English class, we watched a very sad, but good, movie about the holocaust (based on a fictional book) called The Boy In The Striped Pajamas. It's a good movie, but a VERY SAD ENDING!! Just a heads up if you decide to watch it. Oh, and it's not very realistic, because it shows this 8 year old boy in a concentration camp, when in real life, kids didn't go to concentration camps. The German's just sent them to the gas chambers... and there's some other stuff but whatever.

Im'a go now, ttyl!

Until next time, my friends!

Happy March!

2010-03-01T13:29:00.000-06:00

Oh me gosh! I can't believe I haven't posted since one month ago, today! My bad about that.. Aren't you sooo excited that Spring is almost here? I sure am! I can barely contain my excitment :) the only thing that could make Spring better was having no school :D I'm so tired of school!! I cannot wait till Summer :) The bad thing is, it doesn't last long enough! Before we know it, it's gonna be winter again, and more school!

Speaking of school, I'm supposed to be writing a compare and contrast essay on two essays that's due tomorrow, but... well I got sidetracked and I'm kind of doing both.. haha

Guess what today is, besides March 1st. It's mine and my bff's Rachel's unofficial Jafriendaversary!! And it is also our favorite singer's (Justin Bieber) 16th birthday :) that's where the "Ja" in the "friendaversary" came in. We don't know the date of when we really first met, so we made it on JB's birthday XD

Speaking of Rachel, SHE'S IS GONNA FREAKIN' BE HERE IN EXACTLY ONE WEEK! I am SOO excited. I haven't seen her since August, and won't see her again till sometime in the Summer. The reason she is coming here, is because she is in a choir and she tried out for some singing thing, and got in, and it just happens to be like an hour away from where I live!! So I get to see her sing with a few other people on the 13th :) And she's coming over to my house next monday and tuesday. And we're gonna exchange our Jafriendaversary presents :D I need to finish hers... I'll tell u what it is later, after i give it to Rachel.

I'm listening to Hawk Nelson right now :) I love that band!

Do any of y'all know what Fine Arts is? Well.... I'm not really sure how to explain it.. So I'll tell ya what it means, later. But anyway, our youth group is going! It is the 12th and 13th. But Fine Arts is like 4 hours away, and Rachel's singing thing is at like 2pm on the 13th, so my mom is going to go to Fine Arts with the youth, and we are going to leave early :(

Oh and Sunday is...... WINTER JAM!!!!! Oh yeah :) If you don't know what that is, it is a big concert thing with a bunch of christian artists. I went two years ago, and it was awesome! Mostly because Skillet (fav christian band) was there. But they aren't gonna be there this year.. I'm not sure who is, but whatever, it'll be fun :)

On the 14th, me and probably my mom are going with my grandparents to Branson, Missorri for a couple days. That'll be fun :) Also, that's the week of my spring break, I believe. Can't wait!

Also, the puppies are getting fixed tomorrow, and we're leavin them at the shelter for a week. A WHOLE week without the pups :D hurray! lol :P

well i need to get on this paper, even though i'm having trouble... TTYL!!

Until next time, my friends!

February 1st!

2010-02-01T22:22:00.000-06:00

OMB, can you believe it's February already?? I can't! Oh my gosh, I can't wait till Summer. I'm so overwhelmed with school. . . . . anyone else feelin this yet??

Guess who's birthday it is today? My new youth pastor's! He turned the big 3-0. Guess who's else's birthday it is today? My cousins! I think he turned 23. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's right. Anyways, Wednesday, we (youth group and youth pastor's wife, Sara) had a little surprise birthday party for our youth pastor, Dan. He's in love with superheros (especially Spiderman), so Sara got him a Spiderman cake :P i must say, it was deeeeelicious! And we all huddled together for a picture:

Well, that's most of us.. see me!? I'm the one kneeling on the ground beside Dan (he's the one making a funny face and wearing a plaid shirt). I'm making the number "30" with my hands, he he. Dan and Mrs. Lynn tried that but got it backwards, haha.

Oh, there was a little ice storm a couple nights ago and we got ice (looks like snow, but aint) all over the ground. I took a lot of pictures, and you can see coming up soon on my picture blog, and I will post some on this blog too, but not tonight. It's late, and I'm supposed to be finishing up a book report due tomorrow morning for English class... So I better get going. BTYL! (Sorry for stealing that Mackenzie, it's just catchy :D hope ya dont mind!)

Until next time, my friends!

Foster Puppies!!!!

2010-01-25T23:02:00.000-06:00

Guess what??? Our parents finally let us get another foster dog!!! Remember when I told you the animal shelter had a sickly momma dog with 8 pups? Well, the momma's not doing so well, so the animal shelter peeps have asked people to foster some puppies (2 in each home to keep them together). We got two on Sunday (the 24th) and they were 4 weeks to the day. That means they were born on Christmas Eve!! How cute. They're really too young to be taken from their momma, but the momma cant keep nursing and taking care of 8 puppies.

Sunday, me, mom, and my friend went to the shelter and picked out two wittle puppies (both females). Their names are Brynn (the white one) and Shelli (the black one). Not the best names... but whatever. I didn't name them. Here are some pictures for you guys. BTW, they ain't that great cuz my camera really sucks, lol. but here ya go:

Until next time, my friends!

Happy Tuesday!

2010-01-19T12:53:00.000-06:00

Hey y'all!
'Tis a random post, to say some stuff. :)
First things first... i got an ipod! Finally!!!! It is a silver 120gb Ipod Classic. I bought it used on Ebay for $160. So far I have 325 songs (of the CD's I have), 4886 pictures (hehe. that took a while to download), 3 games that it came with, and 1 movie (The Fast and the Furious - my fav movie). Can't wait to put more songs on it!! Here's a picture for you:

For english homework this past week, me and my friend had to write a childrens book with drawings and all. It turned out great! We wrote it about a skunk named Sherman. Two other groups in our class (groups of three) wrote a childrens book too, and they were awesome! I've always wanted to write a kids book, and now I finally did :) One thing to mark of my imaginary list of Things To Do Before I Die. I really should make that list....

In English, we're starting to learn about the holocaust in the world wars. I know you're prob wondering what that has to do with english.. well we're gonna research about it and then write about it in a few weeks, and we're reading the book I Have Lived A Thousand Years. I can't wait to read the book; sounds interesing :) but sad, too...

Well, I should probably go and get started on school. This week I totally forgot about my biology homework, and so I have to do all of it AND study and take a test, all before tomorrow morning!!!! AHH!

Until next time, my friends!

New Fav Song!!

2010-01-10T15:55:00.006-06:00

I'm constantly changing my favorite song, because they're so many awwwesome songs out there!!! I'm still not positive that the song I'm about to tell you about is my absolute fav, but I think it is for now (but it'll most likely change soon, lol).

For the past couple of days, I've been listening to this song on Adam's ipod called The Best Day by Taylor Swift and I absolutely love it!!! I've been listening to it on repeat for forever (I'm listening to it now), and I just love it so much.

It's about her dad, and it's so sweet!! Below you can listen to the song and read the lyrics (please do, theyre so sweet). :)

Tell me what you think! And what's your favorite song?

Until next time,

New Puppies!!

2010-01-07T20:09:00.003-06:00

Guess what?? The local animal shelter just got a new dog (Darby) that was very pregnant, and on December 27th, Darby gave birth to TWELVE puppies!! Unfortunately, four of the puppies died :( But there's still eight left, and Darby is sickly. The shelter has asked people if they can to come and bottle feed the puppies every four hours. But whoever does that has to be 16 or older, and I'm only 15 :(

But, they said they will definitely need lots of foster homes for them once they're weaned, so that will be around February 11th, and mom said we can foster one!! EEP!! I can NOT(!!) wait!! I'll get to train it, get it used to people and i absolutely LOVE(!!) doing that!! I love training dogs, it's SOOO much fun for me!!!! I feel really accomplished when they learn something :)

That's why I love the pet-sitting job I have twice a week. My neighbor, Mrs. Diane, got a little puppy named Lily a while back, and she's SO cute! She asked me to come and watch her and help train her for an hour on Tuesdays and Fridays, while she can go upstairs and do whatever, and not have to worry/watch about Lily. It's a lot of fun! I also get paid $7 an hour, so $14 a week which ain't bad for me, lol. I've taught Lily to lay down, shake, go lay down (in her bed), and roll over. Mrs. Diane already taught her to sit. I wanna teach her more things, but I can't think of any... Got any ideas?? I really need some!

Anyways, Here are two pictures of Darby and her puppies when they were a day old. For the record, I did NOT take these pictures. These came off of the shelter website.

Until next time, my friends!

Change of blog name!!

2010-01-04T17:57:00.002-06:00

Heyy,
Just a quick post to say that I'm going to change the title of this blog soon!! Although I am a girl with a lot of questions, my mom pointed out that the title "A Girl Of Many Animals" would fit me better. So I'm going to be changing it to that soon. :). Well I gotta go finish math now.. Mom says I have to do it before basketball practice at 8 tonight. So I'll post later!!!

Until next time, my friends!

Guten tag meine freunde!!!

2010-01-03T00:23:00.003-06:00

Hey guys!! I think I wrote my title right. It says "good day my friends". And as u can see by that, German lessons are coming along pretty well. I know I haven't posted in over a month and I feel terrible... I don't have any excuse, just I haven't felt like it. But it is a brand new year in a brand new decade so I'm going to try to post whole lot more!! Oh and for the record, I'm typing this all on my brothers new iPod touch :D it's fun!!!

My family and I just got back from visiting family from Sunday to Wednesday. It was alright. Ive never liked staying away from home for too long tho. Mostly cuz I miss my pets back home so darn much. And usually when I'm out of town, I don't get to touch any animals and I can't go very long without seeing or touching any animals. But this time, my cousins brought their little puppy with them!!!! She was so cute! Her name was Dixie and she's a Chinese Crested Powderpuff. Weird name lol but she's cute! She didn't really like people though. Except for my aunt and cousins. She's just really scared of people. I taught her to sit and lay and that was fun :) nothing else interesting happened while there so I'll quit talking about that and move on.

Thursday night as u all know was new years eve and I had 2 of my friends spend the night. It was SOO much fun! We played poker and that was a lot of fun! I'd never played before. And I won. By a lot. Lol. We were gonna watch a couple movies and play some games but ended up
playing with my bird and watching TV instead :P While we were watching a TV show "My Wife And Kids", we saw this kid we thought we'd seen on another TV show, and right after that, none other than TAYLOR LAUTNER walked on screen!!!!!!!!!!! He was like 11 and so cute! As you can tell, we are HUGE fans of his. You probably aren't but whatever, you skip over this part if you like.
Anyhow! As soon as we saw him, me and Emily screamed SO LOUD! It was so funny. Mom was in her room, and heard us, and just thought we saw a bug or something :P Juliana hadn't been looking, so when me and Emily screamed, it scared her so bad :P Taylor said something on the show, but i didn't hear him; i was too busy squealing lol. Even though we had an AWESOMELY fun night, that was our highlight. ha ha
We were supposed to go to bed at 2:00am, but ended up going to bed at 2:30am (no biggie). But then ended up staying up (but in bed with lights off!!) talking till 5:00am lol :P It was a lotta fun.

Well that's all i feel like posting now, so IPHL!! (Ill post here later)
And i hope all of you people have a great new year!!!

Until next time, my friends!

P.S. Fyi, our church finally got a new youth pastor! Name is Dan and Sara *insert last name here* (actually i dont know their last name lol), and I'm so happy we got a new youth pastor now! Even though we all still miss the old one. So far they seem pretty nice. I havent heard Dan preach yet, but I will on Wednesday. Well.. that's all for now, so ttyl!

Cousins and stuff!

2009-11-26T00:50:00.008-06:00

Hey! Happy almost Thanksgiving!

It's actualy probably Thanksgiving and past now that you're reading it. And technically it is Thanksgiving day, because it's like 12:50 am... But anyways... My cousins Ben and John and Uncle Gary came in today from Minnasota!! :) They stay over at our grandparents house right next door. Unfortunatly, this year my FAVORITE holiday is going to be TINY!! The only people coming to our house for Thanksgiving is Ben, John, Uncle Gary, our grandparents, Uncle Glenn and my cousin David, and my brother's girlfriend and her sister :( that's IT! I am SOOO bummed. But I'll get over it.. eventually...

So here are some pictures I took earlier with my cousins at my grandparents house:

John and Me being weird. Im wearing his NCIS hat :) I want one..

A lil more normal picture

Ben and Adam at the table eating nuts

Me and the hat I really want! Hey guys, Christmas and my

b-day are coming up soon *wink*

Yesterday, my mom and I sat down and made some stuff to go in Bella's cage so she can jump around on or whatever. We looked at some pictures online and made this thingie (the purple one):

Ok, not a good picture, I admit. Its like a peice of material with a hole on top so she can crawl in, and then another material thats bigger and hangs down a little bit that she can crawl through or sleep in there or whatever. It's open on two ends, though, so she can get out there.

The green thing has elastic on the sides, and mom made it a while ago to go around the bird cage to keep stuff from "spilling" out, but she accidently forgot to double it, so i put it in Bella's cage :P It's kind of like a hammock/trampoline because of the elastic.

There she is, poking her wittle head out of the hole :P

Oh, the other day, I got these really cool socks i love! :) check 'em out:

Pretty sweet, huh?

I'll be posting more soon!!!!!!

Oh, Friday, my family (minus dad), Ben, John, (i guess theyre dad too), Stephanie, Allison, and i THINK that's all, are going to the zoo!!!!!!! They just got a new exhibit with Wolves (LOOOVE) and Grizzly Bears and I dunno what else. I can't wait to go!! The wolves and bears are just babies. But because it's a new exhibit it's expensive.. but whatever we'll manage :) I'll definetly bring my camera and I'll be sure to post them up here for all o' you to see :)

Until next time, my friends! Please comment.

I love that. Just for the record *wink*

Donuts!

2009-11-11T00:49:00.005-06:00

Some of you may know, that a while ago Mackenzie (over there at Mackenie's Heart) had a blogger contest for people to comment and she'd put our names on slips of paper and whosever she drew, won a $10 gift card to Dunkin' Donuts. Well... I won! (It was a while ago, but I'm just getting around to posting about it). Me and my dad went to get the donuts, and we got 4 jelly filled, 4 glazed, and 4 chocolate covered ones :)

Just to let you know Mackenzie.. my family and I enjoyed them Dunkin' Donuts. We enjoyed them a LOT :) If u don't believe me, here's some pictures of me and my twin brother enjoying them:

Just to let u know, the black mask on me is from my church's fall festival. My friends painted it on my face.
And i have pictures of my brother eating the donuts and a picture of all the donuts, but i can't find them... oh well. They tasted great, so THANKS MACKENZIE!!!!!!!!!

Until next time, my friends!

Kitten Molly!

2009-11-10T00:57:00.000-06:00

Like about a month ago, a neighbor came by with a plastic bag and handed it to my mom. She was thinking "Oh good, he brought us stuff from his garden". She looked inside it, and BAM. There's a kitten!!! A tiny 4 week old calico kitten our neighbor found out in the road. He couldn't take it home because his cats would kill the tiny kitten, so he gave her to us.

Of course I immeadately took her and fed her, and within 15 minutes she was named Molly. Mom said we couldn't keep her, but we had to find a home for her. :( she was SO tiny and cute!! She was only about 4 weeks old, so she still drank milk. I kept her in a cat cage (with blanket and milk) in the laundry room.

After a few days i soaked cat food in milk and she ate it (slowly). I bought a few cans of kitty food, and she ate some of that.. After about a week or two she started eating plain hard cat food fairly easily.

I kept Molly for a few weeks (in the house because our other cat didn't like her, and Molly didn't like the dogs), offered her to a few people. Even took her to church to see if anyone wanted her, but no takers. Finally, mom was tired of her, so we gave Molly to Zoe. Oh, and guess what? Zoe said her tail.. fell OFF! lol! poor kitty!!!

Here are some pictures of Molly for u guys :)

The day we got her

She was so little, and scared!

She went missing, and I looked all over for her, and found her in this cabinet. Lol.

a few weeks after we had her

She was so cute and playful and fell asleep in our (meaning my brother and I) arms and jackets. I miss her :( but she was a handful!!

Ill post more soon :) but it's really late and I have English class tomorrow... lol

Until next time, my friends!

BLG concert

2009-11-06T01:02:00.001-06:00

Remember like a loooong time ago (about TWO months!! SOOO sorry) I told you that me and my brothers were going to a fair that Boys Like Girls were playing at? Well... I GOT PICTURES! There was half-way heavy traffic, and it took us longer than it should to get there, but we finally got there. We met one of Luke's friend's (Lexi) there. Some random band played a little, then we stood (limited seating) for a whiiiillllee, SQUISHED to death SO crowded (it was outside btw), and FINALLY this guy came out and said:

that. lol. And then we all yelled "BOYS LIKE GIRLS. BOYS LIKE GIRLS." ect (as seen/heard in video) and then... LOVE DRUNK!! I LOVE that song. Here's the rest of that song:

Sorry for the HORRIBLE filming. I was freakin' squished, and trying to enjoy the concert at the same time...

I only got a few pictures, because the pictures turned out horrible... so here are those:

Martin, the singer!

Martin, singing

The lead guitar person, Paul

LOOK! I GOT A PICTURE WITH. THE. BAAAND! I'm so lucky...

Luke, Adam, and me waiting for the concert to start.

Lexi, Luke, and Adam. By the way, Lexi was the only one who knew i was taking this pic, lol.

While we were waiting for the concert to start, there was a couple in front of me about to take a picture of them two. I was in the background, and i saw them pointing and laughing at something in the picture. I think it was me. So when they went to take another picture, i made sure i was in the background and made a funny face. They took another picture and I did the same thing. I made it in every picture :)

After the concert, Lexi wanted us to walk her to her car, which, by the way, she had no idea where it was. So we walked around for like an HOUR looking for her car!! Wow. And i was HUNGRY.

Which way now?

Then we were at the LAST place to look, and Lexi sees a car and says "IS THAT MY CAR!?" and we all get excited and walking fast, then Lexi stops, turns around and says "Someone just got in it and drove away..." lol! So we walked a little further and... WA LAH! We FIND her car!! She was SOOO excited! She was yelling all the way to her car (she was running FYI) and then hugged her car :P

Ok well normally i wouldnt have made my first post in 2 months like this, but i had already started this post back in September, and so i decided just to go ahead and post it, and I'll make another post later fillin ya in on other stuff... which is a lot. I cant believe it's been two months. I feel terrible! But more post hopefully coming soon!!!

Until next time, my friends!

P.S. If you could all say a prayer for my grandma (we call her mommaw), she's in the hospital right now, for... well I really am not quite sure what for, but.. it's not serious. She'll be coming home soon, but if you all culd just say a prayer for her, that'd be great. Thank yas!!

Stuff here, Stuff there, Things here and there

2009-09-10T21:12:00.011-05:00

So I started German class Thursday. It's not really a class technically, because I'm the only one in class lol. Me and my older brother Luke, are taking from a really nice lady at her house. It's about a twenty minute drive, then Luke sat in the living room and did homework from other classes, while I did my first German class/lesson for an hour and a half (I was sooo tired. 9:30 is way to early for a class!!!), then i went in the living room and did schoolwork while Luke did German. I think this is Luke's third year of German... I think. We would have gone to Guitar lessons after that (That's right, Im'a startin Guitar lessong this year. not sure why i capitalized that...), but the teacher is outta town... so we start next week.

Monday, no... Tuesday me and my twin brother Adam started an English class which is at the church which is RIGHT next to our pasture, so we can walk to class and see the horses on the way! We were running late that day, so mom drove us... I sat next to my friend R (ain't gonna give her name. and no, not the one that lives in FL, lol). Our teacher is funny! One of the guys was late for class, and she made him do ten push-ups lol, but in a joking kind of way. Not punishment or mean. He was fine with it though. It's actually an English/art class. And we made collages in class! We all brought pictures, paper, glue, scissors, stickers, ect. to class and made collages :) Mine looks really cool! i love it! I want to add more to it though. I don't have any pictures of me now, printed out (lol), because they're all on the computer! So i used pictures from when I was like 9 and under, lol. Here's a picture of it:

I just got back from the Cotton Festival up at around the Court House. Here are some pictures:

Jesse with a firehat on, lol. We took both dogs up there, and Bella :)

The inside of the hood of a car. Ain't it cool?

A friend (Tad), dressed up for a play he's gonna be in next week. He looks like a villian, lol

Adam sitting on Tad's motorcycle

A croc ankle bracelet my grandma bought for me

Guys spray painting (with washable spray paint!) some kids hair, lol

A Team Jacob necklace my grandma bought for me :)

Tonight, me and my brothers are going to another Fair and going to see none other than the Boys Like Girls PLAY!!!!!!!!!! OMG I CAN'T WAIT! Them and Nickleback are my fav bands! I am so excited... I will take a bunch of pix and show y'all when i get time.

Last night, we had a game night at the church, and since it was September, me and two of my friends wore all red, white, and blue. I went a little over board, and tied a red white blue dog bone bandana on my leg, and had a red superman cape.. lol! I took a bunch of pix, and i'll post them later.

TTYL Y'all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Until next time, my friends!

Animal Shelter "Mega Motor Festival"

2009-08-27T15:53:00.007-05:00

Man, i typed up a lot of this post and then it deleted. AHH i have to type it over again:

Sorry it's taken so long to post this post about the animal shelter's Mega Motor Festival last saturday (the 22nd). Unfortuneatly they didn't bring any of their dogs because they didn't know if it would be really hot or not. But it was a really nice day!

A lot of cars showed up for the car show/contest, but only four motorcycles showed up for the motorcycle show/contest. We sold hotdogs, chips, drinks (all $1 each!!!), homemade cookies and brownies, and things for cats and dogs. A guy came with a trailer and sold fair food and gave half his earning to the animal shelter. It was a great day, we rais $1,370!!!

Me and mom sold drinks and the food.
There, they had police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and tractors that everyone could get into and look at and stuff. And then later, they had a hospital helicopter come and land!!!! I videoed it, and i'll put that on here later. I don't have time right now, about to go somewhere.
Here are pictures I took from that day:

Mom, and two volunteers (forgot their names lol), my brother Adam (he came later in the day. these pix aren't in order), and jesse; where we sold the food and drinks

Jesse sniffing a FAT pug

Adam

Jesse next to the police car

The helicopter!

A little boy pulling his little brother around with a dog leash lol

The trailer with the family that sold fair food

Mom selling a drink to someone

the cookies and brownies! we sold quite a few of these :)

Firetruck

I might post more pictures and videos later, but i got to go. bye!

Until next time, my friends!

Fillin' you all in

2009-08-21T17:57:00.010-05:00

Sorry I haven't posted in a while.. been busy, and I've half way been avoiding posting lol. First, the most important thing that has happened recently: I made... the... bunny cage bigger! :) lol. I just added four more squares. don't know what i mean? well here's a pictcha fo ya!

see how there's like 2 squares to make each "column" (idk what word to use)? well I just added for more squares to make two more "columns". Yup. Anyways, moving on:

Today my mom and I went to a new restaurant to meet with my soon-to-be english teacher and future classmates (I already know all but two). Explanation: Me and adam are going to take an english class on tuesdays at the church starting in september, and the teacher wanted all her future students to come have lunch. It was fun.. a few of the people i hadn't seen in over two years, and the others i just haven't seen in a long while. All but 2 of us (the two girls i didn't know) used to go to a home-school co-op thing on Fridays way back when i was like in 3rd or 4th grade and then again in 5th or 6th grade. I'm in 10th grade now (i'm a year ahead) :)

And then after that, me and mom went to Wal-mart and i got this awesome shirt for $7 in Miley's clothing line. I love her clothes at Wal-mart. But minus the blue or red lepoard print skinny jeans and tights.. those are just weird.

Random picture of my bedroom door:

That is the Wolf Crossing sign I bought in Florida at the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary. here's a close up on that little piece of paper under the sign:

yup. that's my name. signed... in BLOOD. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Naw really i just had a scab that.. uh.. well anyways it had enough blood to write my name with. I've always wanted to write my name in blood.. sorry if i sound creepy and if i'm grossing you out. my bad. not my intentions. I'd love to have a big sign that said "KEEP OUT" written in blood, but that would take a lot of blood... and i am not going to cut myself on purpose, lol. I"M NOT THAT CREEPY!

Ok, so the REAL most biggest thing that happened since I haven't posted is the thing that happened the day after my last post. Well, I went to my first biology II class, and after it, my mom told me she got a call from Luke who said that Stephanie's (his girlfriend) house burnt down!!! Luckily they were perfectly fine, but they lost most of their stuff. the house was still standing, but the inside was burnt all up. So Stephanie and Allison came and stayed with us for four days while their parents stayed in a hotel that the Salvation Army payed for for about 3 days. Then they found a house that's not very good at all, but their staying in it until they find something better. When they came here, we took them to wal-mart to pick out two outfits each, and I was so jealous! I loved the clothes they got!!! Anyways.. we had a lot of fun while they were here. Steph and Al weren't really sad at all, lol. They just made jokes the whole time about it. Like, the first and only thing Steph grabbed when the fire started was my two Twilight books she were borrowing and her David Archuleta poster (she LOOOOOOOOOVES him)! lol. But she left all Luke's pictures behind and the really nice expensive picture frame he got engraved for her at Disney World, but luckily that did survive.

Oh, and when luke gave her the picture frame, she didn't have a picture of him to put in it, so she put a little drawing Allison drew of our friend Craig. (more like Luke's friend, but when steph is over Craig usually comes over too. or not usually, but sometimes. he was here a lot when steph and Al were here this time), and that is the ONLY thing in the house that was damaged at all. it had no smoke marks or anything :P

Anyways, when they went back to their temporary home, Ashley Furniture gave them ALL brand NEW furniture for absoluetly FREE! And someone annoymously dropped off enough clothes for a whole new wardrobe for Stephanie and Allison all expensive nice clothes from the mall! Isn't God great? That is so cool!!

moving on...

I'm wearing a wrist brace. Just for fun :)

Did you know the name of the person who invented toilet's was Thomas Crapper? Lol!

Mom, Luke, Adam, and I had our annual back-to-school party on August 10th. We just played games, and ate YUMMY cupcakes.

The first game we played was the board game Clue. We love that game :)

And the 2nd game we played was the board game Risk. I LOOOVE that game! I ususally win, I'm really good at it, but this time I did REALLY bad, lol and lost first. Here are a couple pictures from the "party". Oh, and I talked mom into buying that Spongebob table cloth :P it was AWESOME. I looked at the pictures and drew (not traced) four spongebob's and their REALLY good. I'll take a pic of them and put them on here later.

My risk guys all lined up (there were more, these are just some)

Luke, Adam, and mom playing risk

Adam, lol. I sat there holding the camera towards him WAITING to get this pic. It took a while, but he finally lost a country, and I snapped a pic :)

A random pic of me holding the last snake I had this summer, Jasper.

One last thing before I go, oh wait... 2nd to the last... anyways, my friend R got me obsessed with Declan Galbraith (singer from England, still love him!), then a dancer from Britian's got Talent, Aidan Davis (awesome 12 yr old dancer!), and now *drum roll* ladies and gentlemen, I introduce you to the great, awesome singer, JUSTIN DREW BIEBER!!!!!!!!!!!

Who is Justin Bieber? Well, he's the new singing sensation of 2009. He's 15 years old and got discovered on Youtube for just putting a video of him when he was 12 singing in a competition. He put the video up so his friends and family who couldn't come to the competition, could see it. Then people like Justin Timberlake, Micheal Jackson (before he died), Usher, and Scott somebody (his manager now) saw his videos and really liked him. Long story short, Scott became his new manager for Justin's singing career and Usher and Justin Timberlake wanted to sign him, but Justin chose Usher, and now their together like all the time, and Usher is like Justin's mentor, as Justin said. Justin Bieber's first album My World comes out October 13th I think.. I already pre-ordered it on amazon.com for only 10 bucks :) I can't wait to get it! Anways, now I'm obsessed with Justin Bieber, and i've been listening to his music like crazy!! Here are a couple pix and videos:

This is a pic of him hanging by my door in my room above my light switch :P

Justin and Usher at KCA 2009

Here is the music video to his hit single "One Time". Usher is in it, and at the beginning of the video, it shows Justin playing video games with this real life best friend:

Here is him singing "Lonely Girl" live at a radio place

Tell me if ya like him or not :) He self-taught himself how to play the guitar, piano, trumpet, drums, and congos, and he skateboards, and he used to play hockey before he became a singer, and he can dance. man, this is a talented 15-year old! By the way, he's from Canada, but moved down to Atlanta when his career started.

Tomorrow from 9-3 the animal shelter is having a big event that I'm going to volunteer at. There is going to be a lot of different vehicles there like firetrucks, police cars, motorcycles, maybe old cars, maybe army vehicles, ect.. that you can get into and touch and stuff, and there's going to be food and drinks and the dogs, and it'll be lots of fun :) I'm taking my camera (which, by the way i forgot to say that I found!!!!!!!!) and i'll take lots of pics to show y'all!

Until then, I'm gonna go. so bye! Oh, and I posted a few times on my Valley blog and picture blog, please check those out and comment: http://trainingvalley.blogspot.com/ http://agomqpictures.blogspot.com/ Thanks y'all!

And as Justin would say, Payce!!

ha ha

2009-08-04T20:48:00.003-05:00

Ha ha, my brother (Adam) just said "*so and so* has Swan Flu!" LOL! not Swine.. ok just had to say that. I JUST posted a post below this, please check it out :)

Boring Skool stuff

2009-08-04T20:34:00.002-05:00

I'm not normal.. ok? I'm actually excited about school starting back. I usually am.. This post is pretty much just about school, so you don't have to read it if you don't wonnu (won-nu [wun-oou] "want" and "to" put together to form one word. Example: "But mom, I don't wonnu!") yeah I say that word a lot.. I made it up :)

Wednesday (tomorrow) I start my biology class. Really early... but that's just when the teacher starts. I got my biology book in Friday that goes with the class. It's a big book! Unfortuneatly it's about the human body which I really don't care about at all. I want to learn about animal bodies. Mom tells me that it's pretty much the same, and I say that if it's the same, then why can't I take a class about the animal body? Whatever.. at least we'll be doing expericments like looking at things under the microscope, and diseceting which I've done a lot of...

So anyways, mom found out yesterday that I'm supposed to read the fisrt 17 pages of the book and answer some "On your own" questions BEFORE class tomorrow morning!! I just stared about twenty minutes ago.. I'm on the 5th page :)

I'm also going to be taking an English class on Tuesdays. And I'll also be taking German with my brother Luke (just us two in the class :) on Thursdays I think... Oh, and I'm probably going to take guitar lessons from Luke's guitar teacher on Thrusdays too. Last school year, Luke went to German on Thrusdays and then went straight to guitar, and that's what we're probably going to do this year. My other brother, Adam was going to take German, then changed to Spanish and is now back on German, lol. We'll see if he sticks with that. But he says he doesn't want to take a class, but to do it at home instead. So i dunno.

Well, I guess that's it.. I'll post more about other stuff later. I really gotta read my biology.

Until next time, just say no and stay in school. And don't do drugs :)

Goin' Home Today!!

2009-07-27T11:34:00.005-05:00

Yup, I'm finally going home today, after 9 days. I'm excited. I've had a lot of fun here in Florida, but i'm ready to go home. I'm ready to see my family, and REALLY excited to see my animals :) I haven't pet an animal in like 7 or 8 days, and that was just one pet of a fat cat at a resteraunt..

:( I can't go too long without petting an animal, lol. And this is too long for me. LOL! R's older brother, Z just tripped over something in the bathroom, and slammed into the bathroom door which burst open. lol it scared me. He fell on the ground, got up, said "good morning". lol

Anyways, mine and Luke's flight leaves at 4:30pm, and we fly to.. i don't remember where. Then we get on another plane and fly home :)

Friday we all went to Epcot in Disney World, but I really don't feel like posting about that really... But I'll tell you what I bought:

A little plastic kitty bowl for my kitten. On the side, it has a bunch of different Disney cat characters.
A beer mug from Germany (NOT for beer!!!!). btw, Epcot has like 11 different "countries" you can visit and Germany was one. That was my fav country.
2 peices of chocolate from Germany
A bag of candy from Norway for Adam back home
A friendship bracelet in Mexico (rachel got one too)
A shot glass with leather around it in Mexico for adam.

Awesome Disneyland healing

2009-07-23T14:04:00.003-05:00

Here are some videos that was showed Wednesday night at R's youth group. A man and a woman go to Disneyland and (through God) heal a bunch of different people. It's absolutely amazing! Here are 4 videos:

Amazing, isn't it?
By the way, a few hours ago I posted another post below this one. Please check it out :)

Until next time, my friends!

I don't have anything else to post... so here's a video of a cougar at the Wildlife Sanctuary from yesterday. Right before I took this video, the cougar was playing with a bowl in the water, but when I turned the camera on, he/she got out and mostly stopped playing :(

And here is a video of the two raccoons:

Ok, well I guess that's all for now. Talk to ya lata you guys!

Until next time, my friends!

More FL stuff

2009-07-22T22:04:00.013-05:00

Guess where me and R went today? To the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary!!! It wasn't far. We rode the bikes there, and it's free to get in, so we just rode our bikes there, parked them, and started on the "trail" with the animals. The animals were in small enclosure's, and not really big ones like The Wild Animal Sanctuary.

Unfortunately they didn't have any tigers or wolves.. but the closest to that was cougars (the only big cats there) and foxes. They had all kinds of animals there. The ones I remember were: Cougars, Foxes, a bunch of different kinds of owls, all kinds of birds ranging from pelicans to bald eagles to vultures to parrots and song birds, turtles, an alligator, a crocodile, bobcats, skunks, raccoons, deer, opossum's, snakes, and that's all I can think of right now. They also have a gift shop, and I bought a Wolf Crossing sign for my bedroom door, a little really pretty rock with a tiny raccoon on it for my grandparents who gave me a $100 for this trip, and a fox postcard to send to my family. Here are some pictures from the sanctuary. Sorry, the pictures are not in order, their actually backwards lol.

Ain't it coolio? :):) I had fun there, but it was HOT! Later that afternoon we went to youth group, and for praise and worship they played a video of Hillsong performing, and it's like the music at Youth Camp, and it made me and R really really miss camp so badly!! We wanna go back!!! I can't wait till next year :) The praise and worship is the best part of camp, and being with my youth group.

After youth, Luke, Z, R, and I went to Chili's to eat. I'll post pictures of that later... I've put so many pictures on here already, I don't feel like putting on anymore.... Tomorrow me and R are probably going to the mall, more bike riding, and modeling (for fun) at the park in our new clothes :P And then Friday we're going to Disney World!!! Can't wait, it'll be my first time. But we only get to go to one park.. Luke and Z are going to Epcot, and Me, R, and I think the rest of R's family are going to Typhoon Lagoon.

Ok, well that's it for now, ttyl!!

Until next time, my friends!

Florida!

2009-07-20T23:04:00.008-05:00

Sorry I haven't posted yet. We met R's family at a store around 8 in the morning at McDonald's on Saturday. We drove like six hours to a hospital in Alabama where R's great uncle was. We stayed there for about 20 minutes or so and left and drove another who-knows-how-many-hours to a hotel where we got one free night there. All seven of us stayed in that little hotel room. After we got settled in the hotel, we went to the beach. It was like 8pm or something like that, and the sun was setting on the beach and it was so pretty!! But R forgot her camera, so we didn't get any pictures...

the above is a picture of the hospital by the way.

When we got back to the hotel, we took turns taking showers and then all went to bed. Luke and R's brother Z slept on the floor, R and me got one bed, and R's mom and two little brothers got the other bed.

The next day we left and drove about an hour to another beach that was SO cool! The water was really clear, and the sand was almost completely white, and soft and hardly any shells. R and I stayed in the water for a long time. The water was kinda cold! But we got used to it. We got out to almost to our necks, and were talking, when something tickled my toe. I jumped and screamed. I realized a fish had come up and nibbled my toe! It was funny :P After that I accidentally kicked the little fish -- twice. lol! and then R kicked it on purpose, and then I kicked it once or twice on purpose :P Then the fish kept following us around. It was funny. R's lil brother Saiah went to get a net out of the car, and I tried to catch the little fish, but it was too fast.

That pic is me and R at the beach

We stayed there for a long while, and omg I forgot to say that before we went on the beach, we ate at a restaurant right next to the beach.

After we left the beach and drove for like an hour or so to a campsite, and we set up our kind of small tent, and we ate chicken legs and then smores. Then, R's mom and the little boys went to wal-mart to buy a REALLY big tent. So we all slept in that that night. It was horrible. I had no pillow, and my blanket covered about half of me. The ground was hard and painful. And there was lights outside, so it wasn't dark at all, and ugh I couldn't go to sleep. I finally after a long time was able to go to sleep, but I was really cold and in the morning I woke up with a sore shoulder.

We didn't leave the campsite until like 12:30pm or something like that. Before we did, me and R went back to the gift shop/gas station because we wanted to buy a cool hat that we had seen in there the day before. The hat's were awesome, but $25. But we bought them anyway. R also bought some cool sunglasses that I wish I had... Here is a pic of both of us with the hats:

Oh, i forgot to say that when we first got to the campsite, and we were right outside the gift shop and were walking back to the car, a guy quite a few years older than me and R walked by us and said, "Ooo!! Girls :)" LOL! It was so funny. I didn't know what to think of it.

After we left there, we drove several hours to a place where we were going to camp and then the next day go tubing, but we ended up voting to just go home instead. And so we drove 5 hours to R's home. It was a long 5 hours, which a lot of it I spent sleeping, or at least trying to. We finally got here to R's house at 11pm. We brought some of our stuff in, and after saying hello to R's dad (he had come back before R and the rest of her family did), R and I came to her room, and got on the computer (facebook).

While I was on the computer, R started writing on my arm with a thick, black, permenant marker. ALL over my right arm. It was covered, and I went to wash it off, and it's MUCH harder than it looks. I got most of it off, but it's all still on my arm, but just faint. It lookes really weird.

Ok, so me and R are going to get ready and go on a bike ride around here, and maybe ride to the pool to swim later. I'll post more later, ttyl.

Me on the beach. It was REALLY bright out there, that's why I'm squinting

Until next time, my friends!

Poll and pictures from last year in FL

2009-07-15T13:17:00.011-05:00

FYI incase you didn't see, I just put up two polls over there --->>
on the sidebar. The first one is "have you ever been to FL?" and the other is "Have you ever held an Alligator?". I was the first to vote. Woo hoo! lol.

Here's some pictures from my trip last year to FL:

The famous Everglades!!

The bike trail rode thing at the National Park

An Alligator skull in the gift shop (not for sell)

I'll post more next time. Like Alligator pictures and stuff :) Sorry the pictures are really close together and the words aren't in the right spot really... it won't fix :( but I always have that problem when I put a lot of pictures on here.

Until next time, my friends!

Florida!

2009-07-13T22:51:00.005-05:00

So Saturday, me and my older brother (he's 17) Luke are going with my friend and her family back to her house!! It's like an 18 hour drive.. but it'll be ok I guess. Don't worry, we'll be stopping. It'll be a 2 day drive I think. We're gonna be stopping at my friend's Aunt and Uncle's house for one or two nights, not sure.

Then we'll be spending 7 days at their house, and flying back that Sunday I think... ok I'm not sure what day, lol, but I'm pretty sure we're flying back Sunday. We'll be landing the 2nd plane (yeah it's a two plane trip) at 7pm something. When we land our first plane in Atlanta, mom and dad says it's a really big airport *gulp* so I hope we'll have enough time in case we get lost or something.

The plane tickets cost $156.55 each, or something like that. And we have to pay for them.. which sucks because I'm trying to save up for a really nice camera, and just saving up so I can have money in case something like this comes up again. It's so awesome that I pet-sit! I don't know what I'd do if I didn't.... Fortunately, my awesome Poppa who lives next door gave me and Luke a HUNDRED dollars EACH to spend on the trip!! So that pays for most of the plane tickets :) And I just finished up a pet-sitting job today, so I'll get paid for that soon :) Every bit of money left over of the $100 is going STRAIGHT in the bank!

Guess what we might get to do while we're in Florida? We might go to Disney World for one day!!!!!!!!!!! I've never been to Disney World, or Land, or Six Flags, or anything like that! I've only been to one amusement park before, and it was kind of small, and I've been to a couple fairs but that's about it. :) I hope we get to go!!

OH! And guess what ELSE we might get to do??? Go to the BUSCH WILDLIFE SANCTUARY!!! :D:D Won't that be SO cool! I think they have Wolves too... omg I can't wait :) And me and my friend are going to go bike riding around her neighborhood everyday, and maybe even ride bikes to Starbucks even though it's kind of far.. but we might get to :)

And we'll probably go to the mall and go to American Eagle and other places. :) I am so excited!! And we'll get to go to the beach and all kinds of stuff. I can't WAIT!

And of course I'll get to see ALLIGATORS AGAIN!! I can't wait for that part :) It was so cool last time. We counted how many we saw (forgot lol. 11 maybe? or was it 7.. I don't remember). I got really interested in Alligators after that :)

By the way, I took all those pictures last year when me and Luke went to FL. The first one is my friend, me, and my friend's little brother being weird in the car lol.

The second is my friend riding a bike at a national park i think it was.. we saw two baby alligators there.

The third one is of the beach. I love that picture :)

And the fourth is of me holding a baby alligator at the place we went airboat riding at. That's the guide-alligator-expert guy. Let me recommend that if you ever go to FL or wherever and you ever have the chance to go on an airboat ride.. DO it! It was SOOOO cool!

We saw so many alligators, and the guide (forgot his name) told us all so much about alligators, and he is so nice, and the alligators come up RIGHT next to the boat (some of them that is). I could have reached out and touched one. For some reason, the REALLY loudness of the airboat didn't scare them away. They just slowly come up to the boat and sit there while everyone is taking pictures, then when the guy turns the boat back on, they just slowly swim away.

The guide had his own Alligator call, lol it was FUNNY. But it worked. And our guide did some filming for Animal Planet! He said he was swimming in some water with the gators, and laid on top of a 10 foot male alligator! He said the only time it really scared him, was when the 10 foot alligator was under water, and then came up RIGHT in front of his face. He said that scared him a little lol. He also said they might not put it on Animal Planet because they don't want other people thinking they can do that too, lol.

Ok, well this is long enough, so toodles!

Until next time, my friends!

Jana left today. This week really flew by fast! Sorry I didn't post more.. when we were on the computer, really all we did was facebook stuff, and I didn't think about posting...

Wednesday night we painted our fingernails black (I just really wanted to see what it would look like). Yeah... not me. lol. I don't look good with fingernail polish, and that's fine, cause I don't like it either. And last night, we painted everyother fingernail black with light (really light) pink dots, and the other ones pink with black dots. It looked really cool! But I took it off right before dinner, cause it looked.. weird I guess.

Since I don't have my camera (STILL haven't found it), we took all the pictures on Jana's camera which she has. So I don't have any pictures on this computer yet.. But she'll send me them later, so I'll post pictures then.

In one week (like the 18th or 19th I think...) Jana and her family will be going back home, and me and my older brother Luke are driving back with them. We will be staying for 7 days (from the day we leave. It'll be a 2 or 3 day trip there), and then flying back home. Yup.

I guess that's really all.... I'm really tired -- didn't get much sleep this week. To tell ya the truth.. I don't know if i've even caught up on sleep from youth camp. Maybe I did sleep a long time one night... I can't remember. Jana didn't let me sleep much this week lol. We stayed up pretty late, then of course I'm used to sleeping in until 11 or 12, but she gets up a 2 or 3 hours before that normally, and she forces me up no matter how many times I hit her lol. One day, she was trying to get me up, and I was awake, and just about to get up, and she POURED WATER ON MY HEAD!!! I was like :O and jumped up. It was funny and mean at the same time...

I'm SO glad tomorrow is Saturday and not Sunday so I can sleep in for a loooong time. :) All day if I want. I think I might go to bed now... but my room has fleas. Why? Because before when my kitten slept in there, she had fleas and she slept in my bed every night. And now, she gave our inside/outside dog Amy a LOT of fleas, and she's been in my room and on my bed, and now I got fleas in my room!

Just a while ago I went up there, and as soon as I sat on the floor, I was ATTACKED by FIVE fleas at the SAME TIME!! AHH it was HORRIBLE!! And I have like a million (exatterated just a little bit) mosquito bites all over me.. I fell sorry for myself. And Luke stole my CD player for the night, and I really wanted to listen to music... gur. AND I'm hungry but idk what to eat, and I don't think there is anything that I have that would be easy to fix... Poor me! Maybe I'll have cereal.. Yeah I guess I will. Ok, bye now.

Until next time, my friends!

WAKE UP EVERYONE!!

2009-07-07T05:41:00.002-05:00

It's 5:41 in the morning right now, and me and Jana have been awake all night/morning without even closing our eyes except to blink, and we're watching the sunrise :) we haven't even gotten all that tired lol. It's gettin lighter, and lighter.

I'm playin the song Wake Up America by Miley Cyrus and it's goin good with us right now :)

My kitten is crawling on my arm. ha ha ha ok then.

Jana is taking pictures of herself :P

Well we want to go on a walk, so I will post again later!! bye

Until next time, my friends!

IT'S TODAY TODAY TOADY!!!

2009-07-06T15:30:00.007-05:00

What is today? The day my bff Jana comes to visit for the first time since last summer!!! I can't wait! I can't wait! Her whole family is coming at 6pm and staying for dinner, and then they all leave except for Jana and her older brother :) (the older brother is good friends with my older brother, Luke).

We are going to have a lot of fun :) Don't worry, we'll post while she's here so you can know what we're doin that is so fun :) OMG! Lol I just looked over at my rabbit that I put back in the cage after letting her run around awhile, and she is sitting there, staring at the wall with a VERY evil look on her face! Lol! it looks so funny. The black fur around her eyes doesn't help lol. Just makes her look more evil. A solid white bunny with pink ears, a fluffy stub of a tail, and "emo" black "eye-shadow" around her eyes lol. Ha ha my bunny is emo. Emo Lily. Emo Lily Bunny.. ok i'm done.

A little while ago, I took my kitten's litterbox (she's an outside cat/kitten now so she doesn't need it) and transformed it into a bed with scrap material and I put it on the porch for her to sleep in. Don't worry I washed it first. But right now she's sleeping on the grill on the porch where here food was.. but I moved her bed, food, and water beside the grill under a chair..

Ok well that's really all I got to say for now, so talk to you guyz's later!!!

Until next time, my friends!

P.S. I did not just now take that picture, but doesn't Lily look so evil there?

I'm home!

2009-07-05T20:44:00.005-05:00

I'm home from Arkansas!! How much did y'all miss me? Well I missed home! Especially my pets and my room to escape to to get some alone time. I love my cousins and family, but I like being alone sometimes. Especially when I'm reading (I bought the Eclipse, the third Twilight book to read a second time plus more and I've been readin that).

Yesterday, my dad took all of us girls (me, Allison, Stephanie, my 2 cousins Haley [12], and Lauren [10]) and Luke to Wal-mart because I wanted to buy Eclipse, and mom was sick (she was sick the whole time! And still doesn't feel well *frowns*). Last night, me and Haley were in the closet (for light) reading lol. She was reading New Moon, and I was reading Eclipse. Then this morning, me, Al, and Haley laid in bed reading. Al-Twilight, Haley-New Moon, me-Eclipse lol. :P we just needed someone to read Breaking Dawn! But I don't got that one yet.. But I've borrowed it from a friend so I have read it..

Ok, for those of you who aren't fans of the Twilight saga, I will move on.. My aunt's boyfriend Nick writes a lot of songs and he sung and played (on the guitar) a bunch for him. He's REALLY good! We all sat in the mostly dark listening to him play. It was really nice. We all said we wanted to buy one of his CD's when he gets one. He said he's working on it :) One song he played that I think he wrote, was called To Do List and it was upbeat and we all really liked it! Like he sang for each day what he was going to do, and one was "Friday, I'm gonna burn this list" lol that was funny.

We also played volleyball (not in the pool this time) in the yard, and that was a lot of fun! Someone on my team hit the ball over and it hit my dad.. and he bent over and my grandma (right behind him) served the ball and it hit his butt! It was SO funny! That happened several times today when some of us were playing in the pool. Well not in the butt since that was in the water.. but in the head and all kinds of funny stuff happened.

My brother Adam is staying at my grandparents along with my cousin Reid (the rest of his family went home this morning) until Wednesday, when my grandparents are bringing them here. And Reid is gonna stay with us for the rest of the week I think, and I don't know after that lol. Also, my bff Jana is... GOING TO BE HERE TOMORROW OMG I CAN NOT WAIT!!!!! I haven't seen her since last August cuz she lives 22 hours away!! She gets to stay here until FRIDAY!! Then the next week she goes to camp and when they leave...this state... and go back to...their state... me and Luke are probably going with them and flying back home!! That's sorta what we did last August... Me and Luke flew (by ourselves. then i was 13, and he was 16 but we ages a year lol) to...Jana's state... and flew back. That was fun. but kind of scary cause that was our first time flying alone and we had to take two planes.. so at one airport we were ALONE.

Well i was talking to my friend on the Internet, and one of us mentioned ice cream.. so I'm going next door (grandparents live next door in case you forgot or didn't know) to get some :D So ttyl!

Oh, by the way, I'm going to be posting about youth camp... soon. :)

Until next time, my friends!

Hello From Arkansas

2009-07-03T18:04:00.007-05:00

Hey guys! We got here (Arkansas) yesterday. Yup. It's true. Today, we went swimming and that was fun. This time I remembered sun screen (thanks to my mom) so I won't have that horrible burn like last time I went swimming here (about a week or two ago).

I've been texting Luke's friend (I guess technically my friend too) Craig like all day lol. Allison and my cousin Lauren are here in the same room with me also on computers, and we're all emailing eachother lol. It's fun. Especially since I am in the mood for typing.

I took two different quizzes on facebook to see how well i knew Twilight (they were supposed to be really hard and they sorta were...) and they said I was an expert at Twilight lol. I've read the first book almost 4 times, then second one twice, and the third and fourth once. I also took a quiz to see which Twilight character and I got Edward! Ew! I don't like Edward.. well I do sorta, but Jacob is SOO much better. :) As you can see my "Team Jacob" sparkly picture over there on my sidebar -->>

I took another quiz to see what decade i should have been born in and I got 1980's the first time, but when I looked back over it, some of the answers weren't really that accurate.. so i did it again and got 1970's, which is sorta what I wanted :) Disco! *dances*

Sometime later today, my dad and my aunt, cousin, and my aunt's boyfriend are supposed to be coming here. My dad didn't come yesterday cause he had to work yesterday (his shift at his job is from 2pm-11pm so we don't get to see him that much ): ).

Guess who will be at my house Monday-Friday that I haven't seen since last August?? MY BFF JANA!!!!!! I can't WAIT!! We have like so much planned :) Don't worry I'll be posting during the week and keep you updated on what me and her are doing :)

I have Jason Mraz's song I'm Yours stuck in my head... Just the beggining though. Not that you guys would care, lol. I'm just typing random stuff here. Earlier this morning, when we were swimming in the pool, there were some worker guys working on the house (about 20 feet away from the pool) and me, Stephanie, Allison, and Lauren were swimming in circles singing (really loud) random songs like Mary Had a Little Lamb, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, the ABC's, Hakuna Matata (a very awesome song), and Best of Both Worlds (hannah montana). And then we came up with our own song (I wrote it) and we sang it loud enough so the workers could here us. Sing this to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star:

Two, two workers on the house.
List-e-ning to this song.
I hope I'm not annoying you
I hope I am entertaining you
Two, two workers on the house,
List-e-ning to this song.

Isn't it awesome? And I wrote it all myself :) I wonder what the workers were thinking... we sang until finally mom yelled at us to stop. So we had to :( Sad story, ain't it? But it was fun while it lasted. We wanted to make a whirl pool in the pool (where else?) and so while we were all going around, and around, and around; I started singing Hakuna Matata on the top of my lungs, and then Stephanie and Lauren joined in (but not as loud as me. I don't think anyone could get that loud), and it was so much fun. I bet it sounded horrible though since I was singing it so loud. By the way, I was only singing the only part I know lol:

Hakuna Matata
What a wonderful phraaaaase
Hakuna Matata
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
for the rest of your days
It's our problem freeee
Phiilooosiphyyyyyyyyy
.......*dramatic pause*........
HAKUNA MATATA
...............
HAAAKUNNAA MATATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
Hakuna
Matata
Hakuna
Matata
Hakuna
Matata

And so on until I decided to stop. Pretty cool, huh? You should try it sometime. ha ha. Sorry I feel like really random right now and just feel like typing whatever I think of.

What's a motto?
Nothing. What's a-motto with you?

Omg you have to go to this website (http://www.lionking.org/lyrics/OBCR/HakunaMatata.html) and read the lyrics to HM. it's so funny. BTW that HM does not stand for Hannah Montana but for Hakuna Matata.

Ok well this post is really meaningless and probably boring for you, so I will quit this post RIGHT now.

Ok now.

Ok, seriously, I'm done now.

Until next time, my friends!

Hi from Ben and Sarah

2009-06-29T20:05:00.005-05:00

Sarah: Hey, I'm sitting here with my cousin, Ben. And I'm bored so I decided to make this post (because I also feel like typing). Anyways, y'all say sup to Ben.

Y'all: Sup, Ben!

Ben: Welcome, esteemed members of the interwebz. I would like to direct your attention to two websites i think you might enjoy.

Sarah: Translation from computer geek (no, im not offending him by that, he likes to be called that) to normal people: he wants to show ya'll his two websites.

Ben: http://frithlink.bravehost.com/ and http://rosemegangel.bravehost.com/

Sarah: Okay, that second website is just in the process of being made. It's a "club" Luke's girlfriend Stephanie and her sister allison and their friend came up with. It's called RMA (Rose Meg and Angel; the first three characters). It's like my all time favorite game, and I don't feel like explaining it so just go to HERE to find out what it is and how to play. I'm not asking you to join because that's kind of impossible sorta for you all who i don't know... i just gave ya that there link so ya can know what it is. It's awesome. But the website needs a LOOOT of work before it is really acurate (i mean on the characters page) but it's still great. All thanks to my cousin BEN!!!!!!!

Ben: Anyway, RMA is a text-based RPG.

Sarah: *interupts* Click on the link there to find out what an RPG is

Ben: Yes thank you, Sarah. Where was I? Oh yes, the websites. Frithlink, on the other hand is a network for tech-based things for me and my friends. It may prove useful to you. For example, you can read reviews of gadgets, or learn how to build a computer (it's simple, trust me :D).

Sarah: Well it's simple for computer builder peoples...

Ben: No really, and you can learn how to do it. It's cheaper and better than getting a pre-assembled one at the store. Or, for a nominal fee, I can help you pick the components you want, order them, and install them for you.

Sarah: Ok well we are going to go watch Twilight (we borrowed it from a friend) so I'll talk to you guys's later!!

Until next time, my friends!

Guess which handsome girl is home!? yes, ME!

2009-06-28T22:41:00.000-05:00

So.... I'm.. HOME FROM THE AWESOMEST TIME EVER AT CAMP!! I got home Friday at around 4:30pm? I don't remember.. but I haven't posted yet because my cousins Ben and John are here and I've been spending time with them.

More ramble rambles

2009-06-17T21:40:00.006-05:00

So Miley's-used-to-be-surprise-not-so-surprising-birthday-party was fun :) i went up to the church a 9:30 and her and her family oh and our youth pastor was there. i helped decorate. we hung the "happy birthday" sign on the ping pong table :P on the net. and our youth pastor hung up a pinata. miley cheated and opened the little hole part and took some candy out :P

they had three cans of silly string, so me, miley, and miley's lil sister allie planned on spraying the next person that came in the door. so when the first "guest" arrived (craig) we hid beside the door and as soon as he opened the door, we jumped out "AAHH" and sprayed up all over with silly string. it was so funny!! he stood right outside the door picking off all the string while we were standing there laughina and picking up the string off the floor that didn't make it onto craig.

and then next to arrive was julie. me and miley were in another room so we ran as fast as we could into the other room and ran straight up to julie and sprayed her all over. her face was so funny :P and then we hid beside the doors again when Jeremey came and we jumped out and sprayed him with about twice as much silly string as Julie and Craig. and at one point i sprayed our youth pastor :P

well it was just me, miley, craig, julie, jeremey, and our youth pastor lol. and of course her parents. we played guitar hero and that was a lot of fun. i beat Jeremey twice -- only because the first time i was on easy and he was on hard (we were also playing the.. uh.. well ya know what i forgot. so nevermind lol) and the second time i really kicked his butt (no not literally). why? because his guitar ran out of batteries lol! so i really smoked him.

the cake rocked. miley made it herself, and the frosting was blue and she made a guitar on it! it was cool. and we had snowcones too :D yum yum. i had two.. and we had pizza and coke. so i got my share of sugar. after craig left, a while later when miley's mom was cleaning up; me, Julie, and Jeremy were sittin at a table listening to the radio. that was fun. we just sat there and talked. we talked about music some, and other stuff.

well thats about it about the party. tomorrow, me, mom, and my two brothers are going to Arkansas for the day to visit my grandparents and my aunt and cousins who are in town for my aunts high school reunion. we were going to spend the night, but i got pet-sitting jobs that night and the next day, and luke has to work.

and i got pet-sitting jobs all this weekend (two different ones). and then monday-friday is.... YOUTH CAMP!! OH YEAH! i can't wait!! i wish i was getting paid from pet-sitting before youth camp.. but one of them ends the first day of youth camp. the other ends sooner, maybe i can get paid for that one before camp :)

like i said before in a previous post, i am taking my new journal (it's pink and black and coolio!!) to camp with me, and I will try my best to update it every chance i get so that when i get home i can post it on here :) and i STILL haven't found my camera.. well to be honest i haven't done a huge search around the house yet.. i meant to today but it didn't happen. i'll do it.. friday? or maybe tomorrow when we get back from Arkansas.

Saturday i will be going to a wedding at church. ... i hate dressing up. dressing up for a wedding is okay. i only have one dress that i got for easter this year. i've showed u guyses a pic of it before. buy i might be watching the little kids in the nursery during the wedding part lol. i'm not sure if i'm going to do that or watch the wedding part. i haven't decided... what do u think i should do?

well.. i think that is all, so enjoy these pix. peace out ya'll

Until next time, my friends!

P.s. hey guys those of you who have not read my post below this one, please check it out :) thanks ya'll. oh and don't forget to comment of course :)

ramble ramble.. tHIs iS a sCRambLE ha ha i suck at jokes

2009-06-15T22:24:00.007-05:00

okay so i still haven't found my camera UGH. i wonder where it is? youth camp is next week, so i guess tomorrow i am going to have a huge, thorough search through the house lookin for it. and if i don't find it then i will start asking my friends if they've seen it lol.

so right now i am listening to the song crazy mary by FM static. im also IMing jeremy and texting (on gmail) my brothers friend craig.

guess what? tomorrow is my friend miley's fourteenth birthday!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MILEY!!! just so you know, her real name is not miley but i'm saying miley for safety reasons. anyways, she's having a birthday party (sorta) at the church tomorrow. its gonna be like a game night. it was going to be a surprise but her mom decided to go ahead and tell her about it. so it's mileys-used-to-be-surprise-not-so-surprising-birthday party tomorrow lol. since its supposed to be a youth game "night" (its at 10:00 in the morning lol) she invited everyone from youth but not many can come lol.

let's see, everyone in youth: caleb, zoe, miley (of course), me, julie, saylor (nickname), Jeremy, my brothers luke and adam, craig, and.... omg is that all? hmmm well i guess so. anyways, caleb and zoe can't go because their at camp, and my brothers can't go because luke is working in the morning and adam will be dirtbike riding with a friend somewhere... and wait that's all that can't come.. anyways i can't wait!

i bought miley a twilight game (i'm jealous), and i wrapped it in red snowman wrapping paper (lol) and i put a santa 'to and from' sticker on it and i said it was from santa. ha ha. i'm funny. oh and i had way too much wrapping paper, but instead of cutting it, i left it and tried my best to wrap it right, and the bottom of the present looks terrible, so i made that the top and put the bow and sticker on that side. ha ha ha. aren't i the best? duh i didn't even have to ask. i'm second to the best. chuck norris comes in first of course. but i'm a close second. you could say i'm kind of like his side-kick. ha! in my dreams..

guess what? today when luke's guitar student was leaving, he and his friends saw a teeny BAT (yes, bat) hanging on the wall outside of our house! it was so cool! i even touched it.. you don't believe me? check it out:

see how tiny it was?? that's my finger

isn't that so cool? i don't think i've ever touched a bat before.. i got to email those pictures to my cousin, ben. he LOOOVES bats so he might like those pix :)

well i am REALLY tired so i'm gonna go to bed. it's 11:04pm.. so yeah. i'm not usually so tired but last night i stayed up till 1:30 (not unusual for me) but i could NOT fall asleep until FOUR O CLOCK IN THE MORNING!! and then i got up somewhere between 10 and 10:30 so i am really tired.. and i have to get up at like 8 tomorrow. ugh! that's like 5 or 6 o' clock in the morning to some people... so i'll ttyl!

peace out homedogs!

Do you know the feeling...?

2009-06-08T14:20:00.002-05:00

You know that feeling you get when your scuba diving in the ocean, and your surrounded by all those tiny fish, and a few sea horses and maybe an eel or two swim by?

Or the feeling you get when sky diving, and your falling, and falling and falling, with the wind blowing on you, your screaming of joy and happiness?

Or the feeling you get when gliding across the moon in your space suit, feeling as light as a feather and the feeling of being on top of the world?

Or that feeling you get when your hiding in the snow, closely watching a magnificent wild wolf running with his pack, you holding your camera ready to snap a picture of his pack as soon as you get the chance?

No? Well neither do I, but boy I wish I did. And I know I will one day! Maybe not the space thing.. I mean what are the odds of that? But I will the others. ESPECIALLY the taking pictures of the wolf pack and the skydiving :) Unfortunately my parents said I can't skydive until I'm 18 because they don't want to be responsible if anything happens *sigh*

Whatever.

We'll see about that.

I want to skydive for my 17th birthday but I really don't think that is going to happen...

parents. *rolls eyes*

Why do they have to be so paranoid sometimes?

Well I can see why they don't want me to skydive.. but other things. Even though BOTH of my parents have gone skydiving they don't really want me to. My mom has gone several times, and I want to SOO badly! My mom just told me that my dad has only skydived once and that was with her :)

According to Adam, my little kitten (he said it can be just mine. YEA!) is asleep in my room in my laundry basket right now :P

I just went upstairs to see her, and she was asleep on the pile of clothes I need to put away which is right next to my laundry basket. She was SOO cute! She woke up when I opened the door, and she started sliding off the pile :P But I picked her up and she is now purring and meowing in my lap. She was on the computer desk. AHH! She is attacking my finger while I'm trying to type. LOL Now my bracelet, what's next??

She's so soft..

And cute..

And just plain ADORABLE!

I can't get over the fact that I finally have MY own KITTEN!! In the HOUSE too! But mom said she's just staying in the house till she's bigger.. because she's really small and she'll probably run away if we left her outside, and Jesse would probably eat her.

She's playing with a pen on the computer desk :P LOL! She just did a somersault :P My acrobatic kitty.

My acrobatic, soft, adorable, purr box *wink at Zoe*, kitten; Maddie :)

I just saw two fleas on her throat, but she was moving and I couldn't catch them :(

This post is probably really boring to you, but I'm bored, and don't have anything else to say, and I'm just writing down stuff every time something happens :P

Let's see.. mom's watching TV, dad's at work, Luke's in the shower, and Adam's about to go to Nivek's house. Nivek is Zoe's brother by the way.

OMG, Maddie laid down on the edge of the computer desk, and rolled over and fell off. That was funny. Oops! She just fell off again.

Mommas first piano student is here :) She lives on the other side of the loop I live on. Yup. Her and her brother take piano lesson's from my mom, Luke does work for them sometimes, I pet-sit for them, and dad fixed their ceiling when they first moved in cuz it was leaking. So Adam is the only one n my family that hasn't made money from them :P

Oh my gosh! Maddie fell off again. She's clumsy :P

This is such a meaningless, random post.

You don't have to read this you know.

I just needed to post again.

And I'm bored.

Do you even like this post?

I do.

It's a lot of fun to write, lol.

I'm drinking some really good cold water in a bottle.

It's 'Sam's choice, Purified drinking water with flavor enhancing minerals'.

It's good.

It really is.

Finally Maddie is laying in my lap looking around.

Maybe she won't fall off again.. Clumsy, clumsy kitty.

Which reminds me, yesterday at church, Pastor P was preaching and he said something about smashing your finger with a hammer and said, "And then you say 'Oh dirty word, oh dirty word.'" It was so funny.

My kitty is cute.

Is your kitty cute?

Guess what? Didn't I tell you that my friend Jana is coming to visit July 6-10?? I didn't? Well she is. Anyways, when they leave (the state I live in) to go back home, Luke and I are probably going to go with them! Luke will drive mom's van with Jana's older brother (his friend), and I will ride with Jana, her mom, and her two lil brothers.

Then we stay for a week or so, then Luke and I drive home (22 hours) and we might camp out instead of staying at a hotel!! You realize how FUN that would be???? It will be one of my MANY adventures I will have :) Last time me and Luke went to visit them, we flew (by ourselves!) together. It took two planes, but it was cool.

Oh my gosh I can not wait!!

This time I really will post about my trip and post pictures lol. If I can ever find my camera.. I hope I can before youth camp which is only TWO WEEKS AWAY!!!! Omg I can't wait for that either!!

Wow this post is kind of long... But I don't feel like stopping.

But then again, maybe I will and work on one of my many stories :P

I think I will do that.

Okay.

Well then bye.

See ya.

I hope I didn't bore you.

Or freak you out.

See ya in the crazy house, because I know I'll be there one day :P

Joking.

Of course.

Okay for real, bye,

Kitten!!

2009-06-06T13:03:00.007-05:00

So I'm sitting there, a little over 2 hours ago, in a chair, in our driveway, during our garage sale, reading Twilight; when I kept hearing these "Meow" sounds. I couldn't decide if it was a bird or a cat. But I kept hearing it and it sounded more and more like a cat that was hurt or lost. Sadly, I put Twilight down, and then happily, walked down my driveway. The "meows" got closer and louder and I realized they were coming from the woods of our neighbor (I'll say Mrs. H). I walked up tp their fence and the meows were really close but i couldn't see the cat.

I called Adam who was holding Jesse so she wouldn't follow and he came down. I went back up to the house and asked mom to call Mrs. H and ask if we could go in her woods to look for the cat. She said yes, so I ran back down to the fence where Adam was at and we climbed through and walked into the woods. The meowing continued and I didn't have to walk far before I saw a little gray figure dart through the weeds away from me. I realized it was a little gray kitten and I chased after it. That little kitten was fast and could easily run through the little poison-ivy-like weeds, but I had to go around trees and bush-like things and I couldn't keep up.

Eventually I lost it and so I stopped and then me and Adam heard more meowing. We walked quietly in the direction of the sounds and then saw some gray in the weeds (the poison-ivy-like weeds were taller than the kitten! We slowly walked up to the cat, but it darted off and Adam started chasing it, and he grabbed it but it got away then he grabbed it again and that time he caught it :) But it bit him, lol. And he almost dropped her.

We took her back up to the house, and showed Luke (who didn't care), and mom (dad was still sleeping). We took the kitten to my room and put her in the window seal. She was scared so she hid behind some pillows. I got our cat food out from the time I saw a cat in the barn, we wanted a barn cat so mom bought cat food but it didn't stay... anyways, we got a small bowl and put some cat food in it, which the kitten started eating immeadietly. While she was eating, me and Adam were trying to come up with a good name for her. After a few minutes, I came up with the name Maddie. We both liked it, so that is her name!

Maddie is probably about 2 months old, actually probably a month and a half.. but I really don't know. I don't know where she came from, but she must've had a home because she is really tame and knows how to go up and down the stairs. She purrs a LOT and absolutely LOVES to climb on to my shoulders and snuggle up with my hair. It's so cute! Oh, and she meows a lot too :P When I put her in my room, she gets scared and hides in my closet behind my laundry basket :P

Mom said we can probably keep her and keep her in the house until she gets used to us so she won't run away, and so we know that Jesse won't eat her. When my dad woke up, the first thing he said was "we need to find her owners" and I was like "NO! I'm keeping her XD" I'm evil, but I love Maddie already!! Dad isn't sure if we will keep her or not, but I am sure of it :D But if it doesn't work out, Zoe said she'll gladly take her. She came over to see Maddie, and she likes her.. of course. Only jerks wouldn't like Maddie. Maddi3e w5as just hhhw[lk00000 Oops lol. Sorry about that Maddie stepped on the keyboard (seriously). lol.

I was trying to say that Maddie was just curled up asleep in my laps, and she was using my left arm so most of this post was typed with just my right hand. But then I got up to let Amy out, and Maddie woke up and Adam just took her....

Anyways, here are some pictures of Maddie I took with my mom's camera (I still haven't found mine). Oh, and I took a picture of Tracey for ya :)

In my window seal

Maddie and Amy on my bed

Maddie eating. Well she was until I took this picture.

Maddie with my fav stuffed animal, Dakota

Maddie meowing on the steps. She wouldn't go any further! I had to carry her the rest of the way. Anyways, that is the background of our computer right now.

And finally, the talking bird Tracey!!

Until next time!

P.S. Sorry about the writing being all squished between the photos or whatever but it won't let me fix it

UP, UP,UP and away!! (in a house)

2009-06-05T22:09:00.003-05:00

Last night, me and my two brothers went to see the movie, UP. The movie started at 5:30 and we were late. We were like 10 minutes late before we even got there so we just decided to see the 7:35 showing instead. Luke had a friend (Jacob) that worked not too far away at a restaurant, so we went there to see if he still worked there and if he did, to say hi. He didn't work there anymore, but we decided to eat there. I had a chicken sandwich, and the chicken was in the shape of a heart lol.

Right across the street was the Starbucks Jacob used to work at, and a girl working at the restaurant said he might be working there again. So we went to Starbucks but he didn't work there... so we just went back to the movie theatre. We were late, lol. We bought our ticket and walked into the theatre and NObody else was in that one. Probably because we were seeing the 2D version instead of the 3D (because Luke doesn't like 3D. GUR I've never seen anything in 3D before...) and everyone probably went to the 3D one.

We took our seats and we were like 15 minutes late, but the commercials were just starting. the movie didn't even start until 30 minutes past the time it was supposed to.. because we three were the only ones in the theatre, we were talking loudly, and Luke kept yelling. It was fun. I kept thinking I was disturbing someone, but there weren't any other people in there, lol.

The movie was really good :) It wasn't quite as funny as the commercials show it to be, and it had hardly any of the stuff in the movie that they showed on the commercials, but I still really liked it :) I want to see it again. I love the beginning which shows Carl Fredrickson (the old guy, ya know) when he was like 8 or 9, and he meets this kind of crazy girl (she had short, spiky, wild hair and a missing tooth :P) named Ellie who dreams of building her house on Paradise Falls which is in a lost land. And Carl ends up marrying her and it shows the time pass as they grow older and then they are real old, and Ellie dies before they could take their adventure to Paradise Falls. And then the story goes on from there as it shows on the commercials.

It is a really great movie and I encourage everyone who is reading this to go see it. It is a heartfelt movie about an old man named Carl who has to fulfil a promise, a little boy named Russel who wants to earn his "helping the elderly" badge, a "talking" dog named Doug who wants to help his new masters, and a colorful "non-existing" bird named Kevin who loves chocolate. The bird is a girl by the way.

I would love to tell you all about the movie, but that would be spoiling it for those who have not seen it yet... If you have not seen UP, I hope you will, and I hope you like it as much as I do.

We are having a garage sell tomorrow, and I have to get up early, so I better go... I have more to say, but I'll save that for another post.

Until next time, my friends!

Summer at last

2009-06-01T18:02:00.007-05:00

Can you believe it's June already? I can't! This year is flying by so fast! Youth Camp is June 22-26 and I can't wait!! But unfortunately Me and my friend Julie (not real name) are going to be the ONLY girls that are going from our church :( Miley (also not real name) isn't going because she doesn't like camps, and Saylor was going but now she can't because her grandpa is retiring and her family is throwing him a surprise party that Wednesday.. And there is no female counselor to go with us!!!! How horrible! The youth pastors wife can't go because she has her wittle adorwable baby to take care of at home. :( So its just us. Me and Julie in a church van surrounded by all boys ranging from the age of 12-18. Not including Brian (youth pastor). But camp will still be fun nonetheless...

I'm planning on bringing my journal along with me so I can write in it all day long, then when I get home, I'm going to post the not private stuff here on my blog so you guys will know what I did :) EEP! I can't wait :D

July 6-10, my bff Jana who lives 22 hours away from me [:(] is coming here!! Eep! I can't wait!! I haven't seen her since LAST AUGUST (!!) when my bro and I flew down to see her and her family :) My brother went to see her older brother btw. I just can't wait till she gets here! We have a loong list of things to do while she's here :) I'm hoping I can convince Brian to have a game night while Jana is here cause she's never been to one.

May 24th me and my bros went to see Stephanie and Allison, and that was a lot of fun! Right now I'm trying to think of what we did because I forgot most of it... lol. We watched the recorded American Idol finale, and I got to see Jason Mraz sing on there ♥ but he has a mustache which makes him look old and not as good... :( We went to the park and hung out for a while and we went to wal-mart. I can't remember details or anything else we did lol.

Friday night was a game night at church and that was fun. Miley, Julie and I were bored, so we were laying on the floor (me and Miley were laying down, Julie was sitting down) and we were twisting around and we decided to have a race doing that. But then we realized that was too embarrassing, weird, and hard so we came up with something else to do. We decided to army crawl. Ever seen that? It's what soldiers in the army do, they crawl across the ground using only their forearms. But doing it on tile like me and Miley is way easier, but it hurt like.. a lot! We tied. And we were like "Ooooww!!..........let's do that again!!" Yes, we were dumb enough to do it again. And the second time hurt way worse! But it was fun! My knees (I was wearing shorts) were really red, and so were my arms :P

Then Miley and Julie tried to have a crabwalk race (going backwards) and Miley went about a foot and flipped over backwards!! IT WAS SOO FUNNY! She did a backwards somersault. It was so funny I wish I got it on film. But unfortunately I STLL have not found my camera. It's been over a week! GUR.

Today we got Tracey (bird) out for the first time. She actually got on Luke's finger! Before if we put our hand anywhere near her she'd bite us. But today we got her out and we were all holding her and she was actually being nice!! I held her and she crawled up my arm to stand on my shoulder. She has bitten peoples ears before, so I was being careful. I was pretending I was a pirate too :P I need to get a pirate costume.. lol. Jeremy and Caleb were over because they had been over swimming, and Jeremy held Tracey, and she climbed onto his shoulder and then she wouldn't come off! Adam and Luke tried to get her, but she tried to bite them, and when I tried she DID bite me and it hurt! :( But she finally let Luke pick her up. It was funny, she didn't want to leave Jeremy.. :P

Well that's about it... So I'll post lata. Until next time; don't do drugs, stay in school even though it's Summer, wash your cat, cook popcorn in the microwave, and most importantly, comment on this post!!

May May May!

2009-05-21T14:40:00.012-05:00

Aren't you glad that Summer is almost here? I sure am. A lot of you are probably already out of school or almost, but I'm not :( I got to do math throughout the Summer because I am WAY behind! I am also going to do other school too, because although I am already a grade ahead, I want to get another grade ahead. Then, I'll graduate when I'm 16!!!! But if I do that, I'm not going to go to college right after. I'd wait until the next year.

Anyways, since I haven't posted since the end of April, I got to fill you in with everything May:

May 3rd
That day was a friend of Luke's b-day. His name is Tad, and he was turning 18. He invited some of his friends (including Luke) to a big birthday/graduation party/dance. So Luke's girlfriend came over sometime that day (can't remember what time). We (me, mom, Luke, Adam, and Luke's friend Craig) drove down (1 1/2 hourse) to get Stephanie and her sister Allison.

The ride home was fun :) I "stole" Craig's phone and was texting Stephanie, even though she was like 2 (maybe) feet away. But it was fun :) Here's a pic of Steph, Luke, and Craig (weird pic, but funny. it's the background on this computer :D) Oh, and a pic of Steph

When we got home, we hung out for a while, then Luke, Stephanie, and mom (the spy over Luke and Steph) left to to go Tad's house to hang out with everyone befrore going to the dance. A little before the dance part of Tad's party, Luke and Steph came home to get ready. Here are some pictures I took before they left, and some that mom took at the dance/party:

Aww what a cute couple :)

All the guys except one at the dance. Luke is the 2nd from the left, then the middle dude (next to luke) is Tad - the birthday boy - then his friend Wesley, and the one on the right is Tad's 14 yr old bro Holt, who is Adam's friend.

Steph and Al got to stay until 10:00pm when their dad came to pick them up :)

May 7th
PROM NIGHT FOR LUKE AND STEPH!!!!!!!!!!! :D Stephanie and Allison (and their parents) spent the night that night because prom didn't end until midnight, so it would be like almost 2 in the morning if they drove home that night.

So they came over (and Craig too), and we hung out for a while. I can't really remember all what happened, so I'll skip to prom time. So when it was time to get ready for prom, Steph and her mom went into the guestroom to get ready, and Luke went upstairs to get his suit and stuff. When Steph came out of the guestroom in her AWESOME dress she got for FIVE DOLLARS (!!!!) I was like :O she looking really pretty!!!!! See:

It was like really sparkly and REALLy pretty. Pictures don't do it justice. Here are some more pictures, before and at the prom:

Stephanie outside at prom

Luke outside at prom

Luke and Steph right outside our house

A funny prom pic

Are ya comin or am I going to the prom myself?"

Luke attempting to open the box to the wrist flower thing (forgot what it's called)

Luke giving it to Stephanie (I love this pic!)

Stephanie showing it off

They didn't get back from prom until a little after 12. Then Me, Luke, Adam, Steph, and Al stayed up till 2:30 in the morning by the computer (cuz that's where me and Al were) talking and stuff. LOL I at first wrote "steph" instead of "stuff" :P Then the next day they had to leave at like 11 something :( but it was still a lot of fun :)

May 8th
Game night!! So our youth group went bowling and out to pizza. One of the girls in our youth group (also my friend *smiles*), Saylor (nickname) turned 15 that day! So she had a good birthday, lol.

First we went to Cici's for pizza. I sat at the table with Craig, Miley*, Julie*, Tad, Holt, and Tad and Holt's two lil sisters Shae and Jade. At one time when Craig got up for something, all of us poured salt, pepper, cheese, pizza crust, and other various things in his drink. And he came back and I think we told him. Saylor said she'd give him $5 if he drank some of it. And he did! But he said he didn't think it tasted any different lol. And Saylor gave him her five bucks. I videoed it too, here:

Craig is the one that drinks it (of course), I'm filming (also of course), Tad is over there next to Craig, and when I turn the camera to that girl, yeah that's Saylor.

We kept trying to sing happy b-day to Saylor, but she kept running away, so finally, our youth pastor Brian came over there and put his hands on her shoulders so she couldn't move; and we all sang happy birthday -- LOUDLY. Like REALLY loud. And everyone was staring at us and Saylor's face turned all red it was FUNNY! But unfortunately I forgot about my camera and didn't get it on film :( This is Brian's version of happy b-day:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! Saylor L** (last name)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! Saylor L**
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR SAYLOR L** WHO'S SINGLE AND LOOKING.... (he sang that really loudly and Saylor turned even redder :P)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!

It was so funny I wish I got it on film.

After that we went bowling. We took up 3 lanes. I bowled with Julie, Jade, Shae, and Mrs. Andrea (Brian's wife). Miley and Saylor are just weird, and they didn't bowl. Miley just did facebook stuff on her ipod touch (I want one!) and Saylor just talked to anyone who wasn't bowling right then.

I came in 2nd on my "team" or whatever it's called. Julie was first, Mrs. Andrea 2nd, and then Jade and Shae. I was surprised that Jade beat Shae, because Jade is 6 and Shae was almost 9 (she turned 9 on the 17th). Holt was the best bowler out of everyone. He got like 140 something I think. Maybe more idk.

May 9th
Me, Luke and Craig went to Luke's friend Alexis' graduation. After the graduation and after we said hi and 'congrats!' to Alexis, Luke, Craig and I went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant. Then we went home.

Also, that day and the next day I pet-sat a couple of labs that live a few minutes away. Their names are Eve and Sadie:

I also pet-sat for Caleb and Jeremy's family while they were in Washington D.C. Her are all of their dogs:

Duchess (she smelt like a skunk the whole time)

Clancy (he was pretty shy)

Fluffy "Fluffers" (I pet-sat him and his mom and his siblings when they were just a few days old once. They stayed in my closet)

Sugar (who was in this position a lot. She LOOOVES attention. Just like the rest of them who all wanted my attention at the same time! Boy that was hard lol. I wish I had 4 arms :P)

May 16th

That day the animal shelter I volunteer with, had an adoption day at the Wal-mart in the town/city that I live in so I went. They usually have it in the or city that's like 30 minutes away, so I don't usually go. They didn't really need my help, but I stayed anyways to see the dogs. I mostly petted this one dog named Marzi that I really want to foster. Two dogs got adopted that day; a cute puppy named Cyan, and a really fun, happy, hyper dog named Armas. Also, they raised $450 in donations!!!!!! I took a bunch of pictures of the dogs, but I haven't uploaded them yet, and I can't find my camera...so I'll post those pictures later.

May 17th

Shae's b-day! I didn't have anything to do with her b-day or do anything, I just wanted to say that she turned 9 that day. lol. Do you remember when I told you that I had taken 3 eggs from the Canadian geese Edmund and Jessa? Yeah well they didn't hatch :( Neither did Edmund's and Jessa's. I think their's got eaten. Madonna's eggs didn't hatch either.. but her's are still there.

The reason why I'm typing about the eggs on this day is because I threw them out. I gave one to Jesse which she ate, and the other two me and Adam threw against a tree :D it was so cool! But then when I saw Jesse eating her egg, Adam realized there was A gosling in that egg!!!!! But by then it was too late. I was SOOOOOO sad and mad at myself for not waiting a little longer :(:(:( I wish I had. Then I would have a little gosling!!!! *cries*

May 19th

My mom's piano recital!! We had it at the church. I wasn't going to play anything, but then mom pointed out that if I didn't it would have been my first time since I was 5 that I wasn't in a piano recital!! And I couldn't have that! So I decided (the day OF the recital, lol) that I ws going to play a song. I had been playing "Teardrops on My Guitar" (on the piano lol) lately, but I wasn't quite good enough at it for the recital, but I played it anyway. I did okay, but even though it was my 9th recital, I was FREAKIN nervous! I think I FELT more nervous than I really was. I couldn't calm my body down. OMG I'm stiffining up and I feel nervous just typing this!! I'm even sweating! LOL! Anyways. I got up there (Later Luke said that I was really shaking) and I started to play. It was really hard cuz my arms were stiff and I was like.. idk freaking out lol. I kept telling my body to calm down, that it was not big deal, and I was fine, but my body wasn't! It was still stiff and freaking out lol. But my mind was mostly calm. That probably doesn't make sense to you, but idk how else to word it. I was just happy I didn't trip on my way up to the piano or my way back to my seat lol.

My mom filmed it, but like I said I can't find my camera so I can't post the video up yet. But when I find it, I'll post it on here :)

Sometime in there (I forgot when) we..... GOT A TALKING BIRD NAMED TRACEY!!!!!! I don't know what kind of bird she is other than a noisy one. She mostly says "good morning tracey" over and over. But it's pretty hard to understand her :( it just sounds like she's trying to talk while gargling water lol. I'm trying to teach her to say "Shut up Tracey" so she'll be sittin there and say to herself "Shut up Tracey, shut up tracey" :P lol

I'll post more about her later, and pictures of her once I find my camera. So I guess I'll hopefully post again soon!

Until next time, my friends!

P.S. *not real names

Day with my grandparents

2009-04-24T21:14:00.006-05:00

I just posted a post because I was tagged, so you can read that below this post. But I decided to go ahead and post about my day yesterday with my grandparents before I.... don't. So, here I go!

Grandpa (mom's dad) and Grandma (my moms step mom) came over at about 11:30. We sat in the living room and talked for a few, then we decided to go out for lunch. We drove to a mexican resteraunt (I got a hamburger :D) and yeah. After we ate, me and my brothers went to the new ATV store right next door. I forgot to say that before we left the house, I put on Grandpa's AWESOME tie. It is like a zipper kind of thing.. you pull the small part to tighten it, and just pull the reg part of the tie down to loosen it. It ROCKS! I wore it all day yesterday, and today.

Me in the awesome tie and my new friends :P those statues were outside of the resturaunt

Grandpa on a motorcycle in the ATV store

Adam on a tiny pink fourwheeler

That's what Adam actually wants, not the pink fourwheeler ;P

Me in the awesome tie on the little pink fourwheeler

Mom on a motorcycle

So when we left there, we went to the bank so mom could get some money out of Luke's account to pay her back for money he borrowed. BTW, Luke left after the ATV store to go to his german classes.

After that, Grandpa drove to ******ville (can't say where!). While we were there, we stopped by the feed store to get some horse feed for Valley. Then I begged to drive around on some old country roads. And we did! We went down this one road, and then from then on, we didn't pay attention to where we turned, and we just drove. It was so pretty outside and it was so much fun!! We passed by some animalless-rolling-hills farm, which were really pretty.
See?

When we finally got back to ******ville (we made a circle sorta), I made a comment wishing for ice cream. I guess wishes really do work.. because we went to Baskin Robins!

Grandpa holding my ice cream cone, and his

Me and my awesome popsicle-tasting ice cream

I forgot that before we went on the country roads, we stopped by another place that sold golfcarts.

Grandma and I on a golfcart

And Grandpa pulled over when he saw a fourwheeler for sale

Adam on the fourwheller that had HUGE wheels

This was in the "yard" (or whatever it is called) of the business that had the fourwheeler out front for sale. Ain't it cool? I wish I got a picure of the front of it..

Until next time, my friends!

2009-04-22T14:47:00.000-05:00

Yes, I am truly sorry for not posting in close to a month. I don't have a good excuse, so I'm not going to tell you one. But I AM going to tell you that because I am posting...THE PAPARAZZI ARE AFTER ME!!!!!! SEE:

Anyways, I'll be right back. Lemme go get my calender so I can see what all happened when I wasn't posting... so brb.

Okay, back. Let's see.... April Fool's day.. no I didn't play a prank.. not enough planning time. But my dad told me that what he used to do, was dress up in all green and then go up to people who weren't wearing green, and pinch them and say "your not wearing green!" and they'll be like, "Uh, it's April Fools' day, not St. Patrick's day!" ha ha I can't wait.

April 3rd and 4th My mom and I went to Fire For the Nations. Look it up, I don't feel like explaining it... :D I'll give you the link. HERE OW! I just got a paper cut :( Man it hurts :( OO! pizza!

April 11th - I stole 2 Canada goose eggs from "our" Canada geese (whom today I named Jessa [female] and... uh.. well i forgot). I tried to get one from Madonna our goose (greylag), but she wouldn't get off her nest (of course. she's a good mamma). So we decided justs not to get one of hers. Her mate, Felix, isn't a very good dad/mate. He doesn't protect her at ALL he stays over there with the Canada geese :( but the male goose is really protective of Jessa. Jessie got attacked by him today. Man I wish I could remember his name...

April 12th - CHOIR PERFORMANCE. I bought a nice white dress (with black sort of jacket for looks) for the performance and for Easter :) The last time I wore a dress, I was probably under 10. Maybe. I don't know, I can't remember... it was fun performing, I think I'll do it again at Christmas time. Unfortunately, my friend Miley (not real name) didn't like performing :( Oh well. My fav song to do was Victory Chant because us youth that were in the choir (me, Miley, Julie, Zoe, and Caleb) went over to the side, got to hold our own mic's (yea!) and we would sing something, and then the rest of the choir would echo. It was fun! My other favorite song to do was Alive, Forever Amen. Why? Because it was upbeat and made me want to dance :) I don't know, I just really liked it.

April 15th - stole another egg from Jessa (she laid more)

April 17th - Game night!!! All of us youth (and a few other teens) went over to our youth pastors house from 7-10:30 and played games and stuff. When we were all in the living room, we turned on Finding Nemo :P But then most of everybody got up and went to play Monopoly or other games.

But I stayed in there and held Kayla (not real name), my youth pastor's wittle baby girl. She's like 8 months or something like that. I'm not sure. But I had soooooo much fun playing with her! She's just so cute! She really liked playing with my Team Jacob key chain. But I had to keep her from putting it in her mouth. She's so funny, she pulled her sock partially off, and started chewing on it. And she loves to lay on the floor, grab her feet, and roll around. Lol!

After a while, we all went outside and played hide and go seek (with a base) and it was soooooooooooo much fun!!!!!!!!!! I hid behind a telephone pole almost every time. And then this guy, Reid, got on top of the shed, and on top of my mom's van (Luke drove it there) several times. Yeah, he didn't make it.

That night, my friend Sailor (nickname) got to spend the night :) we stayed up till like 2:30 before finally going to sleep.

April 18th - after Luke took Sailor and I to Starbucks, mom said that if all of us (my family, Sailor, and Luke's friend Greg [also not real name]) cleaned the gameroom (girls clean that) and the boys clean the laundry room, then we could all go to the movies!

So we did. And then we all went to the movies! Us girls (me, mom, and Sailor) saw The Hannah Montana Movie, and the boys (dad, Luke, Adam, and Greg) saw The Fast and the Furious. The HM movie was really good! It is WAY better and different than the show! I LOOOVED it, and the songs were/are awesome!! I won't say anymore incase ya'll haven't seen it and are planning on going to. I want to go back soon and see 17 Again. :)

Than night, Greg and Sailor spent the night. We (me, my bros, and Greg and Sailor) stayed up and watched tv for a while, then we all went up to my room and hung out until 1:30am when dad came up there and told us to go to bed. We had so much fun. I'll post pictures and maybe videos later. But you'll probably have to remind me...

Today, April 22th - EARTH DAY!! I have spent a lot of time outside today, and I might even pick up trash on the side of the rode, cuz there is a LOT of it. But I probably won't today... And I am prob getting Valley back today. If you have no idea what I'm talking about... then READ MY TRAINING VALLEY BLOG!!!!!! (my newest post). http://trainingvalley.blogspot.com/

OMG! My Sugar Glider food for Bella is here!!!! Man that was a nice UPS man... my bro just spilt my cup of water all over the floor. I took a picture of the food and the toy, and the treats that came with the food, and I will post it on here later. I don't feel like taking the time to put it on the computer. Yeah.

Yummy yummy reese's pieces

I love you.

Yummy yummy resse's pieces

Your brown and blue.

Yummy yummy resse's pieces

Designed after batman,

you taste so yummy yummy,

I wish I had a tan.

Okay, so that last line didn't work, but it's the only thing I could think of that rymed with batman. And it's true, so yeah. It works I guess.

Until next time,

P.S. My resse's piece fell in the water Adam spilt...

P.P.S. I don't feel like taking the time to do colors, so I hope you like a colorless post

Spring has sprung!!

2009-03-31T16:25:00.007-05:00

It's totally true!! Look, all the bees are talking:

Yes, I did take that wonderful bee picture. I just edited it a bit on picnik.com. But isn't it just wonderful that Spring is finally here? And if you don't believe me or the bees, just ask the monkeys!!

Now do you believe me? You better, because I'm running out of talking animals. And no, I did not take that picture of that Orangutan. I just found it online.

I don't know about you guys, but Spring is my favorite season. I love all the flowers blooming, the bees getting the nector from the flowers, all the birds coming out and tweeting and doing things that birds do. Isn't it wonderful? It's like they all come alive. Like, all winter their like.. well, ya know... not around?? But in the spring, they all come out of being 'not around' and like COME ALIVE!!!!!! The birds are tweeting, the bees are buzzing, the snakes are hissing, the fish are bubbling, I'm dancing around and singing at the top of my lungs "SPRING is hereeeee. oh yeah, SPPPRRRIIINNGG is HEEERRREEE, YEAH!"the baby animals are.. doing what baby animals do, and so on.

If I'm dancing and singing a strange made-up Spring song, what are you guys doin? You know, what I don't care. I think I'll go back to my singing. SPPPRRING is HEEERRREE, SPRRING is HEEERREE. SPRRING is HEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE, Spring is heeeeeeeeeerEEEE. SPPPPPPPRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIINGGGGGGGGGGG is HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE! *Walks off, still singing, but fades off*

Didn't those baby monkies look funny and cute at the same time? :D I love 'em. And no, I did not take those pix -- got 'em online I am going to make a list of random things I've done today:

I cut my finger washing a pot
I ate Cap'n Crunch's Peanut Butter Crunch, and it was GOOD
I ate a 3-leaf clover - it tasted like lettuce, but not as good, and it got stuck in my teeth...
I tried another piece of grass that looked like it would taste REALLY good, but it did NOOT taste good... I was very disappointed
I talked to Jake on IM (actually I am still talking to him)
While I led Valley around to graze, I had my sugar glider, Bella, in my shirt
And... I had to tie Jesse up cuz she was going on the rode. oops, I mean roAd.

My finger that I cut on the pot. can't really tell in this picture

Well, I don't have that much more to say, so here are some pictures I took yesterday:

Valley's head, and the barn (I was trying to take a lot of pictures in weird, unique angles and ways)

part of the lake and pasture

Valley eating in the barn

The barn (I took this pic real close to the ground to get the grass too :P)

The beautiful pink bush by our house. It is sooooooooooooooooo much prettier in person. And yeah, that's the bush I took the picture of the bee on

Our pretty pear tree

A tree of some sort

That white spot in the middle is the Sun. Sorta

A panorma picture of part of the pasture and lake. hmm.. small picture..

Well, that's about it, so.. UNTIL NEXT TIME! Which will be tomorrow. Oh, and if you know of any good, non-hurting-people-but-not-wimpy-and-lame April Fool's jokes I could pull on some1 tomorrow, that would be great :D thanks!

Bloggin out,
