My week so far...

Saturday-  Was beautiful!  Sunshine and very little wind :)  Kat and I decided to go sit outside on the swing after lunch it was so gorgeous.  That evening Kat, Uncle B, and I went to Lighthouse to get a movie.  First we had to figure out how to work the machine.  That took us a good half-an-hour, and we finally after much struggle got our movie!

Sunday- We went to Saylor's Birthday!  Happy Birthday Saylor!  Mom was sick so she dropped us off, and we spent the afternoon playing games and munching on snacks.

Monday-Today- I went swimming, while Mom and Kat ran errands.  Meg, Becky, Sara, and I dove for bricks, and I swam a couple laps.  We also found out the a majority of the homeschoolers from a different program will be testing with us for the week!  Yay!  Maybe this year I can sit with someone I know :)



Sam, our faithful defender!

Test Prep

So this week Kat and I have been doing Test Prep for SBA.  I don't remember what it stands for but, we have had to do it every year since 3rd grade.  It's Math, Reading, and Writing.  If you're in 4th or 8th grade you have to take the science test.  I would add pictures, but the Internet is painfully slow.

I played the piano for church today!  It's getting easier to play in front of people :)  After church we had lunch, then Michaela's mom called to ask if we wanted to go for a hike, or ride bikes.  We decided to go ride bikes.  We live very close to the playground so instead of driving, Mom and Kat walked while I rode mom's bike!  Michaela and I rode around, talked, and just enjoyed the sunshine!  I wore capris today for the first time in probably six months!  The sunshine felt amazing :)

When it rains, it pours.

That is amazingly true.  It has been raining, snowing, freezing, and then thawing. =)  Just when I think it's going to stop, we get another "shower".  On a happier note,  I got a 100% on my Science exam! 

We are doing a VBS in a few weeks, and Kat and I have been practicing music.  Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

     I was awakened this morning at four o-clock by the phone ringing.  It was my grandma, calling to tell us about the earthquake in Japan.  It measured 8.9 and there was about 200-300 casualties.  We are watching the news now, and the destruction is devastating.

     My grandma is in Mapleton, OR and the county came up Hadsall Creek (the road she's on)  to sound the bullhorn.  I don't think Mapleton will be affected by it, but we never know.  Well I'm going back to bed for an hour or so.

Hello Everyone!  I have been very busy this week.  It seems like I have never had such a busy school year... 

Here are just a few pictures :)

Erin came over on Wednesday after her class to see us and she got stuck in the driveway.

Me, Kat, and Carrie singing Amazing Grace at the Pioneer Home.

Having fun with the camera... lol

Some of Kat's delicious homemade bread!  Yummmmy!

Hello Everyone!  It was 10 degrees here yesterday morning :)  Although it's finally supposed to warm up to 22 degrees.  'Kendall and I were sledding down the driveway which has a jump at the bottom.  We would get going really fast, and fly off the jump and land with a thump and a "Ouch".   Have a great day!

 We got to go sledding this week on Carlanna Lake Hill.  It was tons of fun.  Our friends the Hamlins came, and Liesel and Erin plus all our moms.

Snow and Sore Throat

Hello Everyone!  I haven't been doing much so I'm not sure what to post...  On Sunday afternoon I came down with a sore throat.  It's much better now.  In fact I just came back from a walk with my mom, Kat, and my grandma.  My hands are a little stiff, but other than that I feel great :) Have a great evening!!!

80th Post

Today I have been playing around with some of the pictures I took last week.  I edited them on picnik, and here is how they turned out.



This one is a little wacky, but I like it.
