Yay

Elijah is home. After 4 and a half hours of sitting in the waiting room just sitting there, the doctors gave him a tetanus shot, and an antibiotic, and sent him home. He is supposed to lay on the couch for 2 days. keeping his foot elevated, but he has been getting up:)

Bella is not here yet. She should be here around 10:30.

I am going to look for a sign language book or sheets on the internet with all the basic signs.

Sunday

Today we went to church. Elijah had to go to the emergency room. He has an infection on his foot, thats spreading up his leg it's from the bottom of the middle of his foot, to bit past his ankle. He has a fever,and is all teary. It makes me want to cry when I think about him, because he was so scared when Gabe being the big mouth hat he is, yelled, "Elijah! Holy cow! That's bad! You're going to have to go to the hospital!" And Elijah started crying because he was nervous, because he hasn't been to the doctors for a long time. Not since he was like 6 when he split his eyebrow open and had to get some stitches.

We went to he beach after church, and two people from our church got baptized. It was really fun, and cool to be able to evangelize. People on the beach looked at us funny, but I though it was cool. Some people got up and ran to their car. It's like, "We are going to mob you!"

I got to go. We are going to church soon.

Saturday

Hi. I had some fun at the concert. It was mostly rap, but it was still pretty good. I didn't know anyone I saw, except for Brian (a guy that goes to our church,) and Tim. (Some one me and Gabe met thee a long time ago.) I didn't talk to Tim, but Gabe did. He didn't remember me anyway, because I told Gabe to tell him I said 'hi', but he didn't know who I was. That's not a surprise.
Anyway, Bella is coming over Monday. I am excited about that. And on Friday, we are going to go to her house! So don't be surprised if I don't chat much from the 30 - July 4.

Concert vid.

Friday

Hi. The kids are going to a pizza party at Stephanie Matthew's house, for homeschoolers.
I am going to a concert!!!!!!!! It's called the wrecking. I am going with Missy Maclellen and her brother Josiah. Missy is married, but her husband Matt is in Arizona working for the border patrol. She is moving up there with him in a couple of weeks. She is about 22 maybe. Josiah Thurlow is 15. They asked me to invite Gabe too. I hope he comes. because I know Missy good, but I would still be a little nervous... anyway the admission is free.
Last night Kimmy and Josiah were the 2 man band for church. Josiah played the mandolin, and Kimmy the guitar. The people who are normally in the band are Bob, Joel and Steve. Bob had strep throat, and I don't know why the other guys didn't want to play. The were all there. (Except Bob)
I got a new shirt at Marden's that I am going to wear today. And a new silver kippa and some pretty purple bangles. They kippa sort of matches whatever you wear. Like, you wear a blue shirt, it looks tinted blue. With my purple shirt, it looked lavender. I love my new purple shirt. I will do a picture if you really care.

Salamander

Joesph found this 1 inch long red salamander in a patch of wild strawberry bushes. Isn't he cute?

Snake

The boys found it and Leah caught it. I was the official photographer.

My first free day

I am back from Sara's house now. I walked back with Isaac, but first we went to House of pizzza*, and got some bread sticks. I ate about 6 and Isaac ate 2. I was hungrier than him, I guess. And we got a soda. It was sierra mist. I am still thirsty for soda.
I am still working on illustrating my book, because it has, let me check...*scuffle*OK, 24 pages.
Auggh! Leah just poured water down my shirt!!!!!! Gees! I asked her to get me water, but she dumped it down my shirt. Oh well. Not very much. She said she was sorry. I have to make a new post.










*I like to add a z, for emphasis.

Whew!

Hi! busy day! Edwin Richy came over, I babysat at Sara's house too. I babysat a total of about 6 hours today. I am now going to sleep over at Sara's house. I am too tired to think. i want to go to sleep, but I know even if I lay down, I won't fall asleep for like, 45 minutes.
But bigger news. I FINISHED ALL OF MY SCHOOL TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It seems surreal.
Bella is coming over Monday. Next. Seeya.

Dragonfly

These are pictures of a dragonfly Joseph found hatching out of it's shell. I kept the huge molted skin, and made a special little box just for it. And I glued it to the inside so that it wouldn't bounce around and get broken. I watched it almost the whole time, but after it's wings spread out, I knew it was going to make it, I went inside. I watched it for about an hour.

Laura's cake

100 dollar bill

This is one of the only one hundred dollar bills I've ever seen. It is Elijah's. He saved up 70 dollars for a bicycle, and Aunt Debbie gave him the rest of the money. Really nice of her. But anyway, he bought the bike, and had to return it, because it was messed up. So now he's waiting till a better one shows up, and he has a ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL!
If I seem like I'm obsessed with money, it's because I am.

A bird memorial

We found this bird on the ground. There was no blood, no squished, I don't know what happened to it.
This is the bird. The red on his wings is not blood.

This is the bird after we wrapped it up.This is the wrapper we put it in.

This is the box we put it in. We put flowers in it, and one worm for the after life.

This is the note we put inside.

It says, 'Bird, we will see you in heaven. Have fun. R.I.P.P.' (Rest In Peace Please.)
We dug a hole, each said a memorial, threw in some flowers, and buried it.

Saturday

Slept later than I usually do at Sara's house, until, like, 8:14. Josh and Sara are bringing Calli, Isaac and Alyssa maybe. We all went for a walk into town yesterday, and as I was worried about Alyssa going into the road, it was Calli who kept wandering off the sidewalk. We counted 14 bags of mail in people's driveways. Isaac likes to stay stupid just to get a rise out of his parents. Josh cracks the whip. He's bringing me home soon, I think.
I had a fun time with Ryan and Josh last night. Ryan was getting up at 2:45 in the morning to go fishing! That is crazy, and I would never be able to do that. I told Ryan good morning when he left, because he left at like, 12:45. He would only get like 1 and a half hours of sleep. :p. yuck. I would never do that.

Friday evening

Hi. I am sleeping over at Sara's house tonight. Ryan Stevens is here chillin' with us. Kimmy came over for a minute to help Sara pick out her clothes for the wedding tomorrow. I am not going.
I am going to Laura's bridal shower. I don't know what I am going to give her. I really don't. I don't even have much money to buy a present. I have to go. Bye.
I will write more tomorrow.

Friday

Hi. End of the week, almost. I am babysitting at Sara's house today. I am going to be there from 10:20 to about 5:30 or so. I hope it goes good, and I am expecting it to go well. It is 10:37 right now. Yesterday we caught 5 fish in the net, and I put them in the paddle boat. I found a huge nightcrawler and I was dangling it in the water and a sunfish came right up and grabbed it! I tried to hold on and I pulled him right out of the water, just because he wouldn't let go of his precious worm. But then he startled me, so I let go. Then 2 fish were fighting over the 8 inch nightcrawler, playing tug-of-war with their non-tooth-mouths. (They have sandpaper teeth, like Bass fish have.)
Bass look like this:
Sunfish from freshwater look like this:

Thursday

Hi. We have 3 possibly 4 yardsales we might go to. I got some pretty nail polish when I went to Sara's house after the beach that I went to after I went to piano lessons. It is sparkley purple!
I have some hard song that I have to do, but once you get em down, they aren't so hard. I had to ask Leah to help me, because I forgot how to do it. It's called monkey business, and the wren and the swan. monkey business, you have to play 3 notes at a time, but the wren and the swan is a little trickier.
On www.girlsense.com, my character's name is followthepixi, so look me up. I love that website.
If anyone can find the 6th Ronald Mcdonald movie, I'll pay you tons of money for it, because everyone in my family would want to watch it. I have to go. BYE!

This is a video of our friends the Leighton's chicks. (You know, Tab, our piano lesson teacher.) She has 4 kids. Eve 5, Joy 3, Wyatt 2, Ian 1. Wyatt is actually their nephew. They have a rabbit too, named Fraggle. I forgot to get pictures of her. But I got this video of their chicks. In case you can't see, they have 5 chicks, all girls. Bob is making a chicken coup in their backyard.

Sara's fish.

Here are some pictures of the fish Sara got. It is a blue beta. Its name is Dark Blueberry. Calli and Issac put a little green plastic snake in the vase and D.B. likes to snuggle under the snake and sleep
there.

Wednesday

Hi. I walked to the library today after I did a math lesson*applause* and go some books: Love that dog (By Sharon Creech) TIBET Through the red box (By Peter Sis)Cracker! The best dog in Vietnam (By Cynthia Kadohata{Also the author of my favorite book Kira Kira}) heartbeat (By Sharon Creech) Matilda Bone (By Karen Cushman)
and two movies: the Little house on the prairie, and the little rascals #2.
We just got Netflix! Right now we are watching The Island at the Top of the World! I saw it when I was really little, and I remember some of it.
Now if you will excuse me, I have to go read my poor neglected books. Good evening, audience.

Tuesday

Hi. We are going to Tab Leighton's house today. For piano lessons. All of us. I have no idea how it's going to work out, but probably everyone will stay outside for a while.
I did my last history test, my module 16 science test, and my quarter final test for science yesterday. We ate lunch, and I asked mom to drop me off at the post office, because I got a letter form Donna Ingalls, my old friend who moved to NY, asking me for the books I borrowed back. (2 Jurassic park books.) Well, she had sent $20.00 with her letter to pay for the shipping of her books, and I had asked Leah to put it in my wallet for me. She said, "k, sure, but i have to pick up these beads, so I'll put it in my pocket for now." I said, "OK." later, at the post office, I got her books all packaged up, and I reached into my wallet for the money, but it wasn't there. I then realized, that Leah must still have it in her pocket at the beach. I asked the lady at the counter to please wait 20 minutes while I walk to the beach, get the money, and come back her to pay for it. She said, OK. So I walk to the beach, praying Leah didn't change her shorts before the went to the beach. But she did. So I'm having hysterics, and mom just gives me $10.00 to pay for it. (The bill was $8.24) So I walked back to the post office with the money and paid for it. Then I walked back to the beach, and went swimming, telling mom I'll pay her back later. There were a few highschoolers around, but only 2 were brave enough to go in the water. I just ran right in and dove underwater. It had never felt better. It was so lovely, I wanted to just stay there forever.


Yesterday we saw some sunfish mating, or something. I'm not sure. But I think in my science book, it said that the female lays her eggs, then the male comes along to fertilize them. I think the ones you always see guarding the nest are the male ones.I got a video of them, but I don't think I can put it on here. I'll try.

Fish in the water

This is the video of the fish in the water. They are sunfish. I think they were mating or something.

Monday

I have some school lft to do, but when I do a reasonable amount, we are going to go to the prince Thomas Park beach! I love it there because it is very sandy, well, gravely. Kind of sandy at the shore. I wonder if anyone else is going to be there...
Instead of just sitting here trying to think of something important to write, I should probably get a move on chores before it gets too hot.
G'day!

Sunday

Hi. I found the song I heard on the radio, while i was with Bella. It's called Akon 'Don't matter'
I love it sooooo much! It's so beautiful. Try to look for it on www.youtube.com. It is now my favorite song. Bella loves it too.
Aunt Rachael and her four kids are up, and Aunt Debbie and Aunt Kit, and Grammy and Grampy too. We had cole cuts for lunch. Maybe I can make some kind of playlist like Sara's or something. If I can, then I'll put the song on here.
Everyone is gone. They all went home. Rachael's girls came to church with us today this morning.
Everyone went home now.

Ketchup

Hi. I slept over at Danielle's house for the first time! That's the second sleep over I've had with a friend!!! I slept good. And I hope she did, sleeping on the floor.
We went out to do the goats at about 6:00 am or so, and it was pretty cool, but I suck at milking. (Sorry, language, but it's true.) I tried twice, and the second time, the goat kicked me and dumped half the milk out. But I caught the bucket before it hit the floor.
Then we did the chickens. and separated the goats, so that the mama goats could nurse their own babies. It was fun. And I really wanted to stay another night, but I was a little homesick, and I miss Leah and Bella. And Ellie. And my mom, a little.I think I hurt Danielle's feelings, f I did, I'm sorry, Day. :-(
Here is a cute smiley: ~:o (it's a baby)

I was hoping to get a better haircut, (I have a weird messed up angled bob,)And I wanted it to look a little better. I have to wrap it up, the batteries are starting to die a little on the cordless keyboard.

:(

Hi. We are going to go to Patrick Aldrich, Spencer Thurlow, and Chance Aldrich's graduation parties. I am wearing a red and white skirt, and a white peasant blouse. I didn't have a very good day so far, but we did go to house of pizza and Aunt Debbie gave us money for it, ($4000000 dollars) and the bill was $39.80! Talk about close! But we were walking by the Junior high baseball field and some guys were playing kickball, and one guy was like, "Hey ladies!" To me, Bella, and Leah. We were like trying not to laugh. But it was a little embarrassing.

G'day

This is the biggest little horse standing exactly two and three eighths inches high.

This one is the smallest of the three. It stands exactly one and three eighths inches high.

This is the middle and stands exactly 2 inches high.

This is approximately 6 inches high and I need more batteries and I need to find online directions for it.

This one is beautiful purple and was made in 1987, making it 21 years old. It is 8 inches high.

I gave this one to Esther. It is not that fuzzy, really. It is 9 and a half inches high.

This is the cute snuggles brand laundry softener beanie baby teddy.

GUATEMALAN WORRY PEOPLE

There is a story that when the
Mayan Indians of Guatemala
have worries, they tell them to
the Worry People who take the
worries away. So write your
thoughts and worries in this
book and it will help take your
worries away.

From the mayan people to You.

That is what it says on the back of the thing. You can only write 7 worries a day and then you have to cross out which ones came true or not. I hope we can go swimming tonight... :)

Fun Fun day...

Hi. Bella is here with her family. Except for her dad. He's in Chicago. Yesterday I babysat for Evan Bubar. For 4 and a half hours and got paid $8.00.
Gabe came home from school yesterday and said there was something for me in his backpack pocket. What could it be? A late valentine? A box of chocolates? A Rose? Hopefully not. And thankfully it was just a picture of Davey, Joseph, Edwin and I, playing out in the snow.
I wrote a sum-up of the new Jurassic park four:

~~~Some people were in a submarine and a giant water dinosaur attacked.them and ate their submarine. Then a bunch of guys went out on a mission to kill it before it swam, out into the whole ocean and terrorized the fishing industries. They almost didn't kill it in time. It got six ships of the cost of Costa Rica.and 7 of the ten submarines sent to destroy it and John Hammond from the first book drowns in the water. In a sinking submarine. But they kill it and no other ships get sunken or eaten.~~~


That's the jist of it.
Nate and his two brothers are here for the evening, because Missy is getting an award for completing the CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant.) course at region.

God's kiss of Forgiveness sucks the poison from the wound.

Monday

Hi. i went to Sara's house last night and slept over. The kids were pretty good, but Alyssa kept ruining the game when we were trying to play 'capture the flag'. She kept taking flags and running away with them. I slept in Sara's bed with her, because Josh isn't home and she gets scared at her house at night by herself. Kimmy came over last night to keep her company. The last post was from Hannah Bouber, my friend. She is 8 years old. I watch her at her house some days when the parents are busy.
I Don't have much to say. i have 3 math lessons left to do, and a stupid 5 typed-page-report, which is like, 10 written pages. So Bye.

my name is becky this is a web site that I made. you can E.Mail me.
