Azalea Trail Maids

Well I found out about 3 weeks ago that this coming fall for the first time ever homeschool girls will be able to try out for the Azalea Trail! This is really cool because I have wanted to try out since I was about 4 years old and was VERY disappointed when I found out when I was that homeschoolers were not allowed to participate. Now that homeschoolers are allowed I will be trying out!! :)

Cookies

I just made tulip shaped sugar cookies with Taylor and now we are going to watch Princess Protection Program.

My Dress

Mom and Dad gave me a civil war dress pattern that I had wanted for Christmas as well as a gift card for the fabric and Mom and I are going shopping tonight to get the fabric:) I will try and post pics while I'm working on it as well as when it's done :)

Well I haven't posted in a while but I'm going to try and start again:) Since I last posted our family took part in a WWII army day,and a 1500 reformation celebration, I have participated in the Mobile Home School Chorus (MHSC) and made most the costumes for the reformation day. I also have a baby sitting job two days a week and my school work so I stay pretty busy :) In addition to all of this we drove up to Pennsylvania the day after Christmas and stayed for a couple of days, it was cold but there was snow and we had a lot of fun. I think we brought the weather back with us because right now we are having some of the coldest weather I can remember lol. Sorry I'm rambling so I'll stop and hope every one stays warm:)

I got my permit!!

About two weeks ago my Mom and I went to the license commissioner and I past the test and got my learners permit. !!

Dauphin Island

The lush greenery

Looking down at the path.

The path going up the shell mound.

This is a cute pic of a squirrel

The red spot is a summer tanager

A pretty picture of the trees and flowers.

These are some pictures that I took when we went to Dauphin Island.

Scots Wha Hae

Here are the words to Scots Wha Hae the new song on my play list.

Scots Wha Hae

Scots wha hae wae Wallace bled,

Scots wham Bruce hae aftimes led,

Welcome tae your gory bed,

Or tae victory

Nows the day and nows the hour,

See the front o battle lour,

See approach proud Edwards power,

Chains and slavery

Wha will be a traitor knave,

Wha can fill a cowards grave

Wha sae base as be a slave,

let him turn and flee,

Wha for Scotlands king and law,

Freedoms sword will strongly draw,

Freeman stand and freeman fa,

let him follow me.

By oppressions woes and pains,

By your sons in servile chains,

We will drain our dearest veins,

But they shall be free.

Lay the proud usurpers low,

Tyrants fall in every foe,

Libertys in every blow,

let us do or dee

Cool Snapping Turtle Pics

Freaked Out!!!

Last night I was babysitting for my Aunt &Uncle I got really freaked out. I was babysitting because my Aunt is a nurse and was needed in the ER and my Uncle was working at the fire house until 11:30pm. Well about the time Uncle John should have been home the dogs went nuts, barking non stop(usually when they are barking at a car or person they will stop barking when you tell them to, this time they didn't) so I went to see what they were barking at and saw a car parked in the driveway! At first I thought that it might be a rental that my Aunt had had last week and maybe Uncle John was driving it, but when I called Aunt Kerry at work she said that he had his truck. So I stayed on the house phone with Aunt Kerry and called my Dad with her cell phone (that she had left at home) asking him to come up and see who was in the car. The whole time I was on the phone the car just sat there with no lights on and nobody moving in or out of it, and then all of a sudden it was leaving, so I was still on the phone with Aunt Kerry and told her and she said that's weird, so then Dad got there and I talked to him, described the car and told him which direction it had gone and he said he would drive around the neighbourhood to see if the car was still around, and Aunt Kerry said that if the car came back that I should call 911. By this time it was about 11:50pm and so I kept both phones with me and watched some TV. At 12:00am Uncle John got home and after I told him what had happened he said that the car had been a friend of his that I have met that he was going to meet but that he was glad I had called Aunt Kerry and Dad since I didn't know who it was. So in the end there was nothing wrong but I still got scared before I found out who it was.

Fishing??

Well I went fishing on Saturday with my Dad, Josh, Mike, Conner, and Travis at the creek
near our house. And as I expected I got left to watch and help Trouble and Danger(aka Mike and Conner). After baiting hooks, help get hooks unstuck, and untangling their lines after attempting to "fly fish", I used my dads pole and caught a small brim. Then on the way home Josh had a shoe lace that was dragging on the ground and Travis stepped on it a couple of times(on purpose) before Josh decided to hit him with his fishing pole and hooked Travis' shorts. It took Dad about five minutes to get the hook out and then we walked say two yards and Buddy accidentally caught Josh's hat. Then about 600 yards later Conner danced back on to Buddy's pole and caught himself on the hook and then ran forward and broke the line. (Oh and Conner hooked my hair on the way down to the creek) And then just as we were walking up to the house Travis hooked his hand. So we had a very funny fishing trip and I don't know if we were fishing for fish or people, hence the question marks in the title.:)

My First Catfish!!! :)

I just caught my first catfish here at my grandparents house!! (that is where I'm posting from to :) ) It was pretty small so we threw it back but it was fun to catch especially since I caught it off our boat.
