Daddy Daghter Dance 2

Daddy daughter dance is back! It was awesome. It started at Olive Garden. It was an excellent dinner under the lights of a wooden arch. After that we headed off to the dance. We got there and I saw my friend Emma. My Dad and I said hi and sat with them. Emma and I got to do the limbo contest and I won. Dad and I danced and played. This was the second dance we attended. We plan on going every year. I love how we both get dressed up. It feels like we're going to Cinderella's ball. It's really nice having some time alone with my dad. We can talk about anything without anyone interupting us. It's always a special night. Overall it was a great night.

School

The summer has to come to an end sometime. And that is when I start homeschooling. My Mom and Dad have been homeschooling me since I was five! We also started homeschooling my brother Zachary when he turned five. Almost everyone I know say that"you're so unlucky" or "do you ever get to see your friends?" I tell then yes. I probably get to see my friends more then I would if I were in school. I get to go on field trips with my homeschooling groups. I've gone to Springs Preserve, the Atomic Museum, and tons of others. I also am in Awana every Wednesday night and my church small group on Saturdays. I also play on a soccer league every Tuesday, Thursday, and games on Saturdays and some games on Mondays. I'm pretty busy!
I'm just starting to get to the homeschooling part. One of the things I do at home is grammer. Grammer is a pretty fun subject. But math would have to be my favorite. Everything I'm about to write is what I do in a day. I do grammer, math, cursive, reading and writing. I also love when my parents read to us each day. Most of the time we cuddle on the couch and they read us great books. I would hate public school because I wouldn't be as close as I am with my family. The best book I have read so far was "In Grandma's Attic". It was a great book about a girl who would find things in her Grandma's attic and her Grandma would tell her stories about that certain item. The best bood my parents have read to us has to be "Ginger Pye". Right now we're in the middle of "Gladys Aylward, The Adventure of a Lifetime." It's a really good book! Homeschooling is what I want to do forever and I hope I can do it forever.

Happy Birthday to Me!

I finally turn 10 on August 7th.. For my birthday my family and my friend Hannah's family went to Six Flags Adventure Park in Californa.The first ride we went on was "Tony Hawk's The Big Spin". It is a mini roller coster that spins so fast that all you can really do is scream, if you don't you might lose your memory. I went on Roar with Hannah her dad and my dad. The first time we went on Hannah and I closed our eyes. The second time we were brave enough to sqint. Don't believe us if we say we kept our eyes open! My family and Hannah went to the dolphin show. Who would think a little dolphin could jump half the height of my house? After a few more rides it was time to head home. Logan, Hannah's little brother was getting tired and so were we.

In the morning we had a party with some of my friends and family. Guests started arriving around 2pm. My friends and I went right into the pool. We were all going to jump at once but Hannah tricked me and pushed me in. I got her back later when I pushed her in. We both had a good laugh about that. We ate dinner, pizza, salad, and breadsticks. Yum! Then we had our yearly chocolate peanutbutter ice cream cake. After that, we got to open presents! My parents completely re-designed my bedroom for my birthday...(pictures will be posted soon). My nana got me a ton of stuff, but my favorite was the DSI. It has a camera and I can email on it! It also has an MP3 player! My grandma and grandpa Emch got me some great books and more knitting yarn and bag. Hannah got me a cool write on surf board and calendar that matched it. I also got a few gift cards which I bought DS games. And I can't forget to talk about Grandma Lee's famous clam dip that I love and everyone else loves! Overall, I had a great birthday and you will probably hear about my 11th birthday next year!

Happy Birthday Hannah!

Today is my BFF Hannah's birthday. She is turning 10. I'm sad that I couldn't be there today. But I will be their soon enough. I talked to her today, in fact I was the first one to talk to her. She was so happy! We get along very easily. We have never had a fight. Every summer not many people do this...we make an "organization". An organization is where Hannah and I try and think of ways to help others. Last year we started a clothing drive. It was alot of fun! This year we are thinking about making crafts for families with lots of kids. I hope Hannah has a number one tenth birthday and I can't wait to see her in a few weeks!

God's Girl

On September 28th, 2008 I was baptized at Canyon Ridge Christian Church. That same day my Nana was baptized. Pastor Chris Duncan baptized us. He is the same pastor who baptized my parents. He blessed me and my Nana and I am very greatful to him. We had lots of good friends and family there. Later we BBQed with my great Aunt Marie and Uncle John. Baptism is a great thing to bring you closer to God. I love reading my bible. I love God.
