My camera is still messing up badly so accidentally I just deleted 2 of the cutest pictures which I cannot get back right now since I am out of town. I will post them when I get home. Of course I HAVE to delete the 2 best pictures! Oh, well. Hope you guys are having a good day. And if not, I hope these pictures help!
Well, it is official. We have a coyote prowling around our 2 and a half acres of land. Our neighbour who has 8 cats and 3 dogs, recently lost, I think 2 or 3 cats. :o( She is a animal lover if there ever was one. She talked to my Dad the other day and said she might have seen a coyote around her house. Well today it is official. She called up my Mom today and said she is looking at the coyote! YIKES!!! He saw her and ran away and then came back a couple minutes later and stood there for 5 full minutes. She called up our other neighbours and told them and they told her, that both of THEIR cats had gone missing as well. :o( That coyote is sure getting a good meal. So while he was out today, he was looking for a cat to munch on. We have 2 cats and 2 kittens of our own so we are VERY scared that they might get eaten as well. The neighbour is going to try and get a trap tomorrow! How fun that will be to see. She not too long ago thought the alligator in out lake was eating her cats, but it turned out the COYOTE WAS!!!!
Well Tat-ta everyone I hope you have NO coyotes in YOUR closet!
I am currently reading An Old-Fashioned Girl by Louisa May Alcott. I hope I spelled that right! IT is a FABULOUS book. Thanks Anna Naomi! Call me a weirdo, but I cannot read more than 1 book at a time. I get to interested in the 1rst one I am reading and then I can't keep up with the 2nd one! I don't know what it is but I just can't. I am a great reader and can read pretty fast too so I finish my books pretty quickly. I went to public school up until the 3rd grade. In kindergarten I was reading at 3rd grade level. Reading is probably one of my most FAVORITE things to do! I have so many good books to read, I will keep posting them so you can see what I am reading!
Well....
I GOT MY LEARNER'S LICENSE! YAY!!!!
I am so excited and a little bit nervous at the same time.
I drove a little bit on the way home from the DMV. Just on the roads with little traffic.
My dad took me driving yesterday on all the "Big" roads. I was a little nervous. But I did GREAT!
I also drove to Office Depot today and had little trouble. Besides almost hitting a car when I was parking, everything else went great!!! :o)
No I really didn't that was a joke. I just came a little too close to the car. :)
I have been watching my parents drive for 15 years and it is REALLY weird to be driving myself. I am a very cautious driver and my parents are VERY supportive.
My Mom is definitly the one who is a little more freaked out about me driving. Haha!
My Dad is the, "Oh, she will be alright"one. And my Mom is the, "How can my baby be driving already"one. :o)
I am so excited!
YAY!!!!!
Is this the cutest little angel face you have ever seen or what?
And yes, I am obsessed with her! She makes my life so happy.
I love her so much and don't know what I'd do without her.
I LOVE YOU KATE THE GREAT!!!!!!!!!!
I am VERY excited about going to Tennessee! We are leaving Sunday and we all are bouncing off the walls. Lol. I have never been to Tennessee so I think it should be neat to be able to go to a new place and visit. We are going to stay at my Mom's brother's house. He has a wife and two ADORABLE KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are sooooo cute. Two little boys. I think we should have a great time visiting. We are going to leave EARLY in the morning on Sunday and probably get there at night time. It is a 12 HOUR DRIVE AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! We can do it I am sure. It is going to be a GREAT adventure. :o) :o) :o) :o)
This is me racing against 3 other people on a racing game on Toontown! I had a lot of fun racing. My Dad was also racing me too. So it was me my Dad and two other kids. I WON THE RACE WOOOO HOOOO!!! Mom was proud of me. Before my Dad and I raced I told him that I was going to Whoop him. HE SAID TO ME NOT A CHANCE! I got my HAHA at the end! lol :) See my cute little Toontown tatoo on my left shoulder! It looks just like Ginger Poppenberry! (That's my toon's name).
Today has been a good day. We had church in the morning and it was a wonderful sermon. It was also nice to see all of our church family there. We came home and I cleaned the most dirty kitchen you have ever seen. Well maybe that is a little over the top. At least the kitchen wasn't like how it is after Thanksgiving dinner! I would PAY somebody to clean THAT mess up. Lol. All of the fam are now enjoying homemade cinnamon buns and watching Lord of the Rings. THE BEST MOVIES EVER IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THEM! We have been really relaxed today which is good. Because the 7th day the LORD RESTED! So we are resting and having a wonderful time doing so too! Ha Ha! :o) Have a GREAT DAY EVERYONE! <><
Yesterday at 7:12pm on the dot my Dad, me, Rachel, and Lauren headed off to go see Pirates of the Caribbean World's End. We got their parked we were almost at the front door when we saw it!!! THE BIGGEST LINE!!!!! I asked my Dad I wonder what that line is for? Thinking maybe it was for the ticket booth or something. I was REAALLLY wrong. Lol. It was the line just to get into the movie. YIKES! We walked in the front door already having our tickets. and headed for the movie. When we saw how long the line was. We almost gave up! My dad said that he thought It would be better to go the next day so that it wouldn't be so crowded. We went to the ticket booth to get out new tickets for tomorrow. Thankfully my Dad asked if we would all be able to sit together. She said we would definitely be able to. The movie was on 4 theaters holding all together about 1000 people. WOW! Good thing my Dad asked other wise we would have been sitting at home watching Wallace and Gromit with Lauren! HeeHee! We walked and then walked and walked some more to the very very VERY back of the line. We all were laughing because it was so long! There were about 300 and over people in the line. We were the very last people in line. That's what we get for going to the one show of the night. The line went fast and we got into our theater. The movie was excellent. It was 3 hours long but WAY worth going. It had a little bit of everything in it! It made me laugh, cry, jump and shiver. A great movie! I recommend it to anyone who is lacking A-D-V-E-N-T-U-R-E!!!
Arrgghh matey's...
WOW! Today we have cleaned up quite a lot! We have our whole back room clean!!!!! It looks really nice and It's nice to come in and be able to sit and enjoy sitting in the new clean space. I cleaned up the screens outside from the windows. It started to POUR down on my head so I came in. We washed windows, Lauren did some dishes, Rachel cleaned the shelves that my Dad's smiley face mugs collection sits on. :o) Kate is soooo taken with those mugs! She will sit below the mugs and stare and wave both hands at them. It is so sad to see her do that. I don't know why you would think that it would be cute. Maybe because she thinks they are real because of the faces on them. I also helped my Dad out with the grout up stairs in the bathroom. I sure did get messy!!! At the start of today I felt a little grumpy when I heard all the work that needed to be done. After it is finished it makes you think WOW this was WAY worth it. Also to always have a joyful heart when working. It sure does help out a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also you can spread joy to others. :)
Today really showed how responsible I am! I had to take care of Kate for a few hours while my Mom did a Baading class. I think I did really well. We played with some chalk outside with her. SHE LOVES chalk!!!!!!!! IT is so cute to see her draw with it on the ground. She was watching Lauren so carefully making sure she was doing it the correct way. After I gave her a bath and she had such a F-U-N time!!! Then we played Toontown on the computer together she loves that game. Then she got a little tired so I put her down to bed. She cried for just a little while and then she went straight to sleep. She is such a funny BABY!!! I enjoy every moment I have with her. Mom came home and her bead class was a success!!!!!! SHe ended up having a great time!
Well today my good friend Charissa and I woke up S-L-O-W-L-Y! We had stayed up very late watching movies... Mom made a really good breakfast eggs with cheese, ham, and onions. It was SO good. After breakfast Charissa helped me clean the kitchen. She is so nice to help me with my chores around the house. Then we went over to our next door neighbors house to play with her two dogs Jada and Dillian. Jada is completely blind it is so pitiful to watch her run into things!
:o( :o( :o(. After we played half a game of pictionary with my Mom and sister Rachel. The baby was fussy so we did not really get to finish. After that her Mom basically pulled up our driveway. I was sad because I have such a good time with Charissa when ever she is over and I hate to see her go. But.... THANKFULLY her Mom and my Mom talked for a bit. So we ended up spending a little bit more time together. :o) After Charissa had left we had lunch. Rice, beans, and chicken. It was great and I enjoyed it very MUCH!!!!! After that can you say CHORES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We did our chores and cleaned up from lunch. Mom looked over her beads for her bead class that's coming up. I just finished peeling some potatoes for dinner and can hear them boiling over as I type, be right back. They're good. :o) Charissa and I ended up having a FABULOUS TIME!
Well today we had piano and sewing to do. We had a nice time with our sewing instructor. We didn't do any sewing this time. We just went over what projects we are going to do. Also what kind of fabrics, that kind of thing. After I had piano! It was nice to be able to be back. Since we have been away for a while. I learned some new things like 1&2 inversions and some other things. My teach Michael played for the first time for me and my Mom. He was AWESOME. It is really always neat to see someone else at a higher level than you are play. It gives you so much encouragement. So I had a nice time playing. I am home now and we are having hamburgers YUMMY!!!
