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.

Best Friends for Life

Hannah and I have been friends since we were 3. We met in preschool. Hannah lives in Pleasanton. I miss her a lot! I get to see her when I visit every summer. Hannah and I love to swim and ride bikes. We always have so much fun when we're together. We never want to be apart. Sometimes we cry when we have to leave eachother. We love having sleepovers. Last time we were together we had so much fun playing on our DS. We have a lot in common.

Daddy Daughter Dance

My Dad and I go to The Daddy Daughter Dance every year. This year the dance was at The Emerald at Queensridge . When we got there we sat down and talked. My Dad got me a tall strawberry drink. It was so good! A pastor from Cornerstone read us "The Princess Kiss" and my Dad gave me a white rose that was beautiful. We danced to "Butterfly Kisses" and "Cinderella" which is now our song. I also had fun dancing with all my friends while our Dad's talked. There was also a white chocolate fountain that we could dip tons of fruit and sweets in. I can't wait to go next year.

Wedding

My Uncle Mike got married to Marie and now she is my new Aunt. I love her so much! I love that she is my Aunt.The wedding was beautiful and I loved Maries dress! My Mom was so happy when they were married! After the wedding we went to a big party!

Best Friends

My friends Kayla & Collin came in October 2008, it was so much fun! Kayla is 6 & Collin is 3. Kayla has her own blog .We both love playing outside and runing around. Kayla lives in Arizona and I live in Las Vegas. She comes when she can. Her Mom Robin is my Mom's Best Friend. They met when they were 15! I did not meet Kayla until she was 4 and I was 6! I love Kayla & Collin! We all went to M&M world and Animal Rainforist Cafe. It was a lot of fun! I can't what until they come next time.

Our Summer at Nana's

My famliy and I go to Pleasanton every year. I love seeing my Nana & friends. I love my Nana & she love me! Some things we do are swim, see friends, and have a big birthday party for me and my brother Zachary. I love going!

Our vacation to Arkansas

We went to Arkansas in May 2007. My grandparents have a lake in there backyard. In the lake there are fish & turtles. Every morning we would feed them cat food. We went out on their boat to the middle of Lake Balboa to swim with the catfish. I love my grandparents!

Our Trip to Disneyland

When I was seven we went to Disneyland California. How did we get to Disneyland is were I'm going to start. The adventure started when we picked up my Nana from the airport. About an hour after she got her she told us the news. It started when she started unpacking. She pulled out four Mickey Mouse t-shirts and a video of Disneyland. Mom put the movie in for us and it was more then I could imagine. I kept saying "I wish could go there!" And then she told me we were going!!! At that time I was probably the happiest person in the world. Three days later we headed off to Disneyland. It took three hours to get to Disneyland. We stayed the night at a hotel out side of Disneyland called the Disneyland Hotel. Six hours of sleep later we headed out. My favorite ride was Mickey's roller coster. I had flip flops on a ninety mile per hour roller coster! When I went on the Tower of Terror I was freaked out at first, but got over it after seeing the view.I loved seeing all of Disneyland. We got to go to Build a bear workshop. I got a cute bunny I named Isabella and Zachary got a dog named Wishes. After that we went to Rainforestcafe. A fun day later it was time to go home. I was sad but I had plenty of memories. I hope that I can go back soon.

New blogger

I'm so excited to have my own blog. This is so new to me. I don't know where to start.
