Birthdays...

Today it's my older sister's birthday! Happy birthday, girl! I will post pictures later. Guess what? I'm writing a novella! (mini novel.)

Today....

Today I'm so busy, I could barely write this! My speech, my creative writing, my homework, cleaning my room, doing dishes... wow! But here I am, typing away. I think this is like a sacred time, where I get to write without interruptions. But that's enough of writing about writing. It was amazing outside today. It wasn't quite cool enough to be called Autumn, but the shades of green on the trees are amazing. Well, exciting news! We had an exciting weekend! My younger sister knocked out her two front teeth on her scooter, and my older sister nearly burned herself by setting paper on fire. What a wonderful weekend! ;) But I survived without a scrape, missing teeth, broken bone, or a burn. Lucky me!

My Life

I decide to do a little show and tell to tell you what my life is like :)

The first picture is the front of our house. My mom likes to decorate with flowers ;)

The second picture is of our other kitten, Stripey.She's a female. Betcha can't tell what she looks like!

The third is our adorable elderly dog named Gunner. She's a girl, and NO we didn't name her. The guy we bought her from did.

The fourth is our sweet, attention hogging dog named Honey. You'll be sitting there petting her, and she'll be angelic, and then you get up to pet her mother, Gunner, and she'll be jumping all over you, trying to get you to stop petting Gunner and pet her again. Does that make sense?

The fifth picture is of our driveway. So very fancy, is it not? ;)

The sixth is the horsebarn that the original owners built. We don't have any horses, although that would make me very happy. My parents say they're too expernsive to feed and keep up with the vet bills.

The seventh is the very back part of our property. Our house sits on 8 acres, so there's plenty of land.

The eighth is the front part of our back yard. All the stones are gathered around the fire pit and arranged as benches so you have something to sit on while you roast your marshmallow.

The ninth is one of our kittens, Mittens. Ha, ha, I'm a rhyming master. He is a male, and loves to sit on your shoulder while you walk around. He also likes to ride in the pouches on our heavy duty scooters that go on gravel while we go down hills.

Well, that's the outside of our house view. I'll post the inside tommorrow when my room is clean :)

Mt. Sherman Trip 2008

It's school time again, and I'm having fun remembering my summer. Here's some pix. We went to Colorado to climb mountains. Aren't the mountains amazing? We were driving up there(really long drive) and finally, we see these giant green very tall, pointy mountains, rising up out of the earth. Driving got a little interesting (especially when we had to turn the great big, white van around), but it was worth it. We stayed at a lodge where this man turned his home into a place to stay with different rooms, and he made AWESOME food (Maybe it's the altitude, because my mom's pancakes are never that good. Shhhh!) I miss Colorado. In these pictures, we are climbing Mt. Sherman, and it is very hard to climb. It was late June, and there was still a lot of ice. It was slippery with rough terrain, and sometimes nothing but dust. I was so scared. But we made it! I will post more about the Mt. Sherman trip more later on probably, because that was the most awesome time I've ever had!
