Bad News, Good News, and Friday

On the day that I last posted, my dog Ruby died. It was sad, and I will miss her floppy ears, and deep bark. I will miss her chasing me when I'm playing outside. I will miss her curling up in a tight ball and sleeping in a small dog bed. Yes, I loved Ruby. I am going to turn things to a brighter side and mention that Skyler, my big brother came by. He stayed for a week. We had a brunch party on Wednesday. The Kammeyers, Weeks, Auntie Chanal and cousin Kayliana, and the St. Jameses all came. It was a lot of fun. On Friday two things happened. (1) I had my first Friday school. I loved it! My favorite class is P.E, which we have at the end of the day. I cant remember what the P.E teachers name is, so I call her coach. She's a lot of fun. I'm enjoying the studies of space we're doing. We watched an interesting video on the solar system in science class. I also liked art class. I love to draw so that was fun. Oh yeah! here's the second thing I did on Friday! (2) I spent the night at Shelby's! She is so much fun! We played barbies, rode on her four-wheeler (motorized), watched a movie, gave each other pedicures, made a play, and hung out on her swing set. Woo-hoo! Thanks for reading this post!! Oh yeah, I'm gonna start writing a Cheyenne's tip or C.T on the end of every post.

C.T: Never drink soda (or any other beverage) while watching your favorite comedian.

Field Trip to Outward Bounds

Dawn... I woke to Daddy's cellphone playing a ring tone that sounded like aliens were landing. The first thing I said that day was, "The aliens are landing!" Then I rolled out of bed. I had been really excited about this day ever since Monday. 'Twas the day we would go to Outward Bounds. I ate breakfast. I forget what I ate. So after that I dressed in my Yellow sweater, white tank top and red sweater/shirt. After that we made a mad rush to make lunches and brush our teeth and all that quintessence (stuff). Finally we piled into the blue van and rushed off to school... at 7:30!! When we got there we saw 1 car in the parking lot so we were kinda worried that we were late. All was well though, 'cause Ashlyn (my amigo) was there and she said that the vehicles that were going to drive us to Outward Bounds weren't there yet. So we walked into the Outreach portable and I was weighed down with like a 50 pound bag + a lunch box!!! Ashlyn showed me to the couch area and I collapsed on the floor. Finally a teacher lady said our transports were here so I said, Hallajuya (I think!) We climbed into a car and I got squished in between Cheyenne (my buddy) and Ashlyn (my amigo). Up front were Sami (my pal) and Jesse (My bro) and Gabe (By BIG bro). It really made me mad I had to sit in the middle. Here I am, crammed into a place with about 2 inches of leg room. So after a long ride there I stagger out of a car into a place that's warm and sunny. We hiked down a hill and threw our "luggage" onto a porch. So the first game we played was a game were two people get blindfolded and call each other from two sides of a field. We try to find each other. Whoopde doo. After we are done we ask each other what our favorite food is. I don't know about you but personally I don't really have a favorite food . So the girl asked me and I just shrugged and said the first thing that came to my mind: A burrito. After that we played a series of games and I just went along pretending to be challenged. At lunch I ate what was in my lunch box and mooched off of everyone I knew. Then at the end of lunch, this girl named Talula shrieked "THERE'S A VENOM SPEWING BLISTER BUG THAT WILL RELEASE POISONOUS VAPOR IF YOU STEP ON IT!!! when a kid almost stepped on she practically was sobbing her eyes out. Luckily it the bug slipped between a crack in the porch before and poisonous vapor was released, and Talula did not hyperventilate. The rest of the day was pretty much the same except on the way back I got a window seat. And on the way back i found out Sami and Cheyenne were coming over so yeah! G'night!

Today

Dawn... I sleepily awoke to the sound of daddy calling us to get up. I stretched out under the comforter to see what would happen. I heard daddy go into Dakota and Jesse's room. He said something, and then I heard Mama say; "Dakota is the first one up!" I knew it was my turn. The order is usually Dakota, Me, Gabe, Jesse. I only get up second so I get a good place on the couch. usually the good corner seat is taken if you get up third. So I plunked down on the green sofa, which was cold, as usual. In the mornings the couches are always freezing. That is why you have to bring a blanket with you in the mornings. If you don't, you sit there shivering in your pajamas, wishing you had a blanket but knowing If you get up you lose the good seat. In our old house there was a different routine. If you got up you had exactly 2 minutes to do whatever you needed to do. Now, though its just, "You move your meet you lose your seat." Sheesh! Anyway, I got breakfast (Gotart) and then dressed for meeting. As usual there was the "My turn for bathroom," and the "I get that seat." We went to meeting. After meeting, I was getting into my casual cloths and I realized that there is a seat chain in life as well as a food chain. First is Grown-ups. You know they get the good corner seat. If you try to pretend you don't know, others will not hesitate to remind you. Next is guests. You sit somewhere and mom tells you. Let the guests sit there. 7 people+ 6 seats= You sitting on a pillow on the ground. Next is FINALLY kids. Not many people complain of wanting to sit where we sit. We get the leftovers. We're beggers. Last and least is pets. you wanna sit where they're sitting? kick 'm off. All they do is give you a pitiful look that says, "I am apparently your slave." I ate a sandwich for lunch, and headed off to my room to read. After a while Sami+Tammy came over. They are fun. Mostly I sat on the sand pile and read books. Then we got subway. YUMMMMM!!! I don't remember the last time I had fast food (okay, I do.) Anyhow... That's pretty much it. I started to watch King Kong, but I stopped around the middle. That's the happiest part. Kay that's pretty much it. Bye!!!

I have a lot of catching up to do

So right now I'm going to pour out a weeks worth of nub (that means "stuff", a word I'm elimanating from my vocabulary.) So this week I did a lot of diffrent things. On Wedsnay last week I got my haircut! So cute!! Tammy cut it. Her daughter Sami is a friend of mine. On Friday we hat the Lewises over. Plus my cuz and Aunt. Levi and My Uncle came too. On Saturday we had a big breakfast. Lots of people were invited. On Sunday we had a field day All we did was an obstacle course. I went on it like 900 times. We had bbq chicken for dinner. Other than that we mostly ate chips. On Monday we said bye to all the peeps that were at our house. I also went to the band practice. Oh, speaking of wich they had a concert on Saturday. I danced till my legs were blue. There was a lot of people there. Mostly the kids kids stayed outside and talked and all that sum and substance. Tuesday was the first day of school and I got a Truckload of books and papers. So yeah now tis Wedsnay again. P.E.A.C.E O.U.T

A View I hope see sometime in my life

Music Practice

Today I went to music practice in Omak. I didn't play any songs but I learned one! Here 'tis

MY FAVE SONG


She said, I was seven and you were nine
I looked at you like the stars that shined
In the sky, the pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
Growing up and falling in love and our mamas smiled
And rolled their eyes and said oh my my my

Take me back to the house in the backyard tree
Said you'd beat me up, you were bigger than me
You never did, you never did
Take me back when our world was one block wide
I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried
Just two kids, you and I...
Oh my my my

Well, I was sixteen when suddenly
I wasn't that little girl you used to see
But your eyes still shined like pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
They never believed we'd really fall in love
And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes
And said oh my my my...

Take me back to the creek beds we turned up
Two A.M. riding in your truck and all I need is you next to me
Take me back to the time we had our very first fight
The slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnight
You stayed outside till the morning light
Oh my my my my

A few years had gone and come around
We were sitting at our favorite spot in town
And you looked at me, got down on one knee

Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle
Our whole town came and our mamas cried
You said I do and I did too
Take me home where we met so many years before
We'll rock our babies on that very front porch
After all this time, you and I

I'll be eighty-seven; you'll be eighty-nine
I'll still look at you like the stars that shine
In the sky, oh my my my...



I love that song and when it comes to the the mairrage part I really get teary eyed!
