Azalea Trail Maids

2010-05-11T09:14:00.002-05:00

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

My Dress

2010-01-11T16:58:00.001-06:00

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 :)

2010-01-10T17:25:00.002-06:00

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:)

2009-10-13T16:14:00.002-05:00

Dauphin Island

2009-04-27T20:44:00.013-05:00

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

2009-04-24T15:26:00.000-05:00

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

Freaked Out!!!

2009-01-18T19:18:00.002-06:00

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??

2009-01-12T20:57:00.002-06:00

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!!! :)

2009-01-04T18:15:00.003-06:00

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.

Our Boat!!!

2008-12-25T11:39:00.003-06:00

My grandparents Friends gave us a small paddle boat that they didn't use any more.
We had to clean it , scrape barnacles off , and put on a coat of bottom paint but it was worth it we got to ride in it for the first time yesterday and it was really fun. I'm the captain , Joshua is the helmsman, and Mike is a passenger. The boat is about 6'-8' long and about a' wide and is pretty easy to paddle once you get the hang of it, but the first time out of the slip we went in a lot of circles, but overall we had fun.

2008-12-19T21:04:00.002-06:00

Well I have been busy. I had my Christmas cantata on Sunday and have had to baby-sit my
siblings for my mom and dads Christmas parties. Well I am going to the Mobile annual "Christmas and Holiday Parade" tomorrow and hope to get some good pics. (I do solemnly pledge and promise to post my pictures if I get them) HAHAHOHO:) And I have a pet adoption tomorrow. SO I am and have been very busy but I will try to post more often.

Happy Holidays Happy Holidays Why Can't We Say Merry Christmas Any More???

2008-12-03T21:15:00.003-06:00

Because "some one" might get offended. Isn't it ridicules every thing is about Christmas but
you can't say Merry Christmas EVERY THING is Happy Holidays, Holiday Parties, Holiday decor, ect. It makes me want to scream why can't we celebrate the REASON FOR THE SEASON, God's one and only son becoming human being born as a baby living a real life and then dying to save us from our sins. But alas hardly any one talks about THAT no it's Santa and Rudolph and Frosty and all the other caricatures and people saying Happy Holidays. Pardon my ranting but this gets under my skin and I hope it gets under yours to. I t has gotten so bad that some colleges are now forbidding students to decorate their dorms for Christmas, and have canceled their Christmas card competitions and other "Christmasy" things so that the invisible "someone" (that has not complained about any thing) will not get offended. Please try to say Merry Christmas when ever you can and maybe if enough of us do then we can show that people in general are not offended if somebody tells them to have a Merry Christmas. By the way Merry Christmas and through out all the shopping and parties, and other festivities try to remember The Reason For The Season.
I hope you all have a safe and blessed Christmas and New Year.

My My My So Busy!!!!

2008-11-23T20:08:00.002-06:00

The time has flown! We have been painting our house and I have been really busy.(I have said that in sevral posts and it's true) Well I have also had other things that I have been doing.
First my puppy got the dreaded parvo virus and had worms :( but the vet gave her some shots for the parvo and it cleared up and then I gave her the deworming pill so she is getting better. :)
Also I am now a volunteer at one of our local animal shelters so I have been busy with adoptions.
Well that's it for now. I will try to post more latter.

We Have a Turtle!!!

2008-11-10T21:00:00.002-06:00

We have a turtle. Joshua caught it at the park yesterday and since we had a tank Mom
let him keep it. The turtle is pretty small and has some of the prettiest markings
I have ever seen. I will try and get pics and post them later.

SEC Championship Here We Come!!!!!!

2008-11-08T21:11:00.003-06:00

Alabama beat LSU today 27-21 in OT. Making them now 10 and 0. :) They will now play in the
SEC championship and if they win that will most likely play in the national championship. This would be the first time Alabama was in the national championship since 1993 when they beat the Miami Hurricanes.

Christmas Cantata !!

2008-11-06T20:48:00.003-06:00

Well I am going to sing in a Christmas Cantata with my grandparent's church choir.
The songs that we are singing are soo pretty, and they are telling the whole Christmas story in song. I have been going to practice on Wednesdays and yesterday I was able to hit some VERY high notes that I have not been able to hit before.:) (I would try and my voice would crack) :(
Any way I am really happy and can't wait 'till the actual Cantata.:p

Alva's first fish!

2008-10-18T21:47:00.002-05:00

Yesterday Alva caught her first fish. It was a 18" cat fish that weighed about 4 labs.
I can't wait to post pics it was soo funny, she caught it on a brim hook baited with bread and
her tiny pink fishing rod. In the pics she and her friends are holding their noses because of the smell. My grandmother took the pics on her camera so I have to wait until she emails them to me.
It will be worth the wait they are hilarious :)

More Scrapblogging

2008-10-16T18:50:00.001-05:00

I did another ScrapBlog to day.
It is on the civil war reenactment that we went to in
May and it is 5 pages long. You can see it if you click on the dog one and
then click on my other ScrapBlogs. Hope you enjoy it:)

I Have A Scrapblog

2008-10-14T20:56:00.002-05:00

I love scrap booking so Scrapblog is perfect.

Driving!!!!

2008-10-04T13:22:00.003-05:00

Today my aunt took me to an empty parking lot and let me drive!!!! :) It was really fun and it was the first time I had really driven. We worked on basics like right and left turns and breaking

without jerking. So hopefully I will pass my permit test the first time I take it.

Fun night

2008-09-28T18:30:00.002-05:00

Last night we had a "Camp out" at my aunt and uncle's house.
I used quotation marks because our "camp" was in the back yard.
We had a lot of fun. My uncle cooked hotdogs on the grill and then we roasted marshmellos over a fire. I think that there was a totle of 11 kids.
There was a girls tent and a boys tent. Our tent got set-up ontop of an
ant hill:( owowow. but over all we had fun.

Bama Still Unbeaten

2008-09-28T18:23:00.003-05:00

Alabama beat Georgia last night 41-31!
I know that does not look like much but at half time Bama was up
31-0, so Georgia made a really good come back in the second half.
We are still unbeaten.

Why I have not posted lately

2008-09-25T20:47:00.003-05:00

Once again I have gotten to busy to post. Oh well:) But I have been helping my dad
with some business things and as always I have school work so I don't have a lot of
free computer time to blog. Oh and I found a cool website were you can sign-up and have a
virtual online horse and equestrian center all for free so I now "have" a horse, and a good bit of my time goes there because just like a real horse you have to feed, and water, and groom your horse. The website is called Howrse and if you sign-up please put my user name Ms. trainer in
the sponsor blank. here is a link www.howrse.com

Bama Rules!

2008-09-21T20:54:00.004-05:00

Alabama whupped Arkansas yesterday 49 to 14. Auburn on the other hand LOST
to LSU 23 to 21. So far it looks like Bama is going to have a good season. ROLL TIDE!

Kombocha

2008-09-11T20:55:00.004-05:00

This past week I made kombocha. I had never made kombocha before and it was fun! Kate gave me one of her SCOBYs to start making the kombocha with because every time you brew a batch the "mother" SCOBY grows a "baby" and they just keep multiplying. Kombocha is supposed to be very healthy and it seems to have helped my allergies and tastes good to. My mom and I like our kumbocha sweet so we only let it sit for 7 days, but you can leave it for longer if you like it sour, or tart.

Crimson Tide #1

2008-09-07T07:06:00.002-05:00

Roll Tide Roll! I have changed my template again as you
can see and it's all about BAMA.
I love ALABAMA football!
So form now through the end of football season
every Saturday afternoon will be spent watching,
or listening to Crimson Tide football. GO BAMA!

Global Warming

2008-09-02T12:37:00.005-05:00

I found the funniest video about "Global Waring".
I have it down at the bottom of the page. In the video two guys sing about
how much better the world would be with global warming. and it is hilarious

School Work

2008-08-27T20:26:00.003-05:00

I have a TON of school work. Besides normal school subjects I am taking 2 languages.
But it is fun I work for about 2 1/2 - 3 hours a day and get all my school done. The languages that I
am learning are Latin and German. I am using Latina Christiana books and CD for Latin, and
Live Mocha for German. I highly recommend live mocha it is an on-line language program similar
to Rosetta Stone but the great thing is that it is free. But you must be 13 or older to use it.

Bass Pro Shops

2008-08-25T20:35:00.002-05:00

Today we went to the new Bass Pro Shops in Daphne. It is REALLY cool. The whole store
looks like a hunting loge and there are stuffed animals everywhere, there is a big fish tank
and one of the biggest cat fish I have ever seen. The store has all kinds of hunting , fishing and outdoor gear that is actually not that expensive, there are also lots of hunting and fishing nick knacks and decorations. There is also a restaurant in the store but we did not go there.

Phelps Makes History!

2008-08-17T06:56:00.003-05:00

Last night Michael Phelps won his 8th gold medal to surpass Mark Spitz's
record of 7 medals in one Olympics. The U.S men's team won gold in the men's 4x100m medley relay with Phelps swimming the butterfly leg, and Jason Lezac
again swimming the anchor leg for gold.

7 Golds for Phelps!

2008-08-16T18:08:00.004-05:00

On Friday night Michael Phelps won his seventh gold medal of these games
in the men's 100m fly. He beat the Russian swimmer by .01 of a second. Phelps has now tided
American Mark Spitz 7 golds from the 1972 Olympics, he is trying for 8 golds in one Olympics.
It has never been done. He already has 13 career golds, the most ever. Go Phelps.

Busy Busy Busy

2008-08-14T07:18:00.003-05:00

Well I have not posted in awhile because I have been really busy.
I had been blogging at night when the little kids were in bed, but this week
we have been watching the Olympics and I just have not had time to blog. But the Olympics have been really good, if you have not watched them I found
videos of the events on nbcolympics.com. I highly recommend that you watch the men's 4x100 relay video. We watched the relay live (I think) and it was phenomenal, the U.S. won but only by a point second or two. I won't tell you the rest so that if you go watch it I won't have spoiled it for you.

My Dogs

2008-08-10T16:19:00.011-05:00

This is my puppy Mia.

A silly picture of Buck.

Josh's dog Buck.

A really cute pic of Mimi

Bucky boy.

And another Mia pic.

These are some pics of my dogs we only have two but I took a lot of pics. We had such a hard time getting Buck to pose for us, ha ha but Mia did really well and posed for me several times.

Cute Game

2008-08-06T20:47:00.002-05:00

Josh showed me this game a little wile ago. It is called "Mutt Maker" and in the game you
get to create your own breed of dog by clicking and dragging parts from other breeds and then you can register it. here is the link.
http://animal.discovery.com/pet-planet/mutt-maker/mutt-maker.html

Logic

2008-08-05T20:55:00.002-05:00

This is a funny video that miss cori had found for us to watch in logic today.

Olympics

2008-08-03T20:17:00.001-05:00

With the Olympics starting in a few days I was trying to find
information on the sports and athletes and found this really cool website, were you can read bios of the athletes and get and get info on the sports. for any one who is interested here a link to the site:

http://www.nbcolympics.com/

Four days without dad

2008-07-31T20:52:00.004-05:00

Today dad left for a business conference in Dallas. He will be gone for four long days.
I guess that we are a bit spoiled because dad hardly ever has to leave so when he does have to
go is seems like a long time before he comes home, though my mom tries to make the time go faster by doing fun things we still really miss dad.

Birds Nest

2008-07-29T21:04:00.003-05:00

Today the boys were playing outside and found a birds nest!
We think that the baby birds are probably mocking birds because we saw the mother and she looks like a mocking bird. I got a few pictures so I hope that you can see the nest in them.

Happy Birthday Alva

2008-07-27T17:31:00.002-05:00

Happy Birthday Alva.
Today is Alva's 5th birthday.
We are having a special dinner that she
chose and my dad got cupcakes and ice cream so I will try and get some pics.

What I have been doing

2008-07-25T07:02:00.004-05:00

Well it has been about a week since I last posted, so I will tell you what I have
been doing. Last Saturday I made 21 jars of pickles! We don't know how
they taste yet because pickles have to cure so I'm hoping that they are
good.( This is the first time that I have made pickles by my self.) Then this
pasted week I have been working on a paint by numbers that my parents gave me for christmas two years ago. I had allready started it but had not finished.
The painting is three horses at a stream the picture on the box is really
pretty and I think that when I am done it will look nice. I am really trying to
finish the painting because when I first got it I repainted my room to match
it and the room has now been done for about a year and a half and the insperation for it is about 3/4 of the way done. Any way I allso found a really cool blog with FREE templates (the link on my side bar will bring you to it)
so I changed my template. Well from now on I am going to try to keep up with my blogging this is a lot of typing and my fingers are geting tired!

I CAN DRIVE!

2008-07-17T20:32:00.003-05:00

Even though I am not yet 15 I found out today that legally I can
learn to drive! My Uncle and I talked to a Police officer and he said that I can
even legally drive on the road for short periods of time, but that I shouldn't
because if some one was recklessly driving and hit me I could some how be at fault because I don't have my permit, so I should drive on private property.

Worth Dying For Concert

2008-07-15T06:23:00.007-05:00

On Sunday we went to the "Worth Dying For" concert in Jackson MS.
It was allot of fun. Since it was a three hour drive we had to leave
at about 2:30p.m to get to the concert at 6:00p.m, and then we had a three hour drive home, I did not get home until 1:15a.m! So we had a really fun time and we got to get our picture taken with the band!

Here is a link to their website: www.worthdyingfor.com

Co-op class

2008-07-10T16:16:00.003-05:00

We had a co-op class at our house today.
We did logic and public specking, for logic we did some
exercises from "The thinking tool box" and for public
specking every one had to do a presentation or any thing
that you might preform in public. I played 'The Star Spangled Banner"on the
piano.

Beach and 4th pics

2008-07-06T19:49:00.010-05:00

Here are some of the pics that I took at the beach and on the fourth.

The Beach

2008-07-03T15:42:00.002-05:00

We went to the beach yesterday with my cousin.
it was fun we got to swim and we had lunch, and then
went and met some friends at their hotel and went swimming
some, more but we had to get out of the water because we saw allot of
jelly fish and Laural got stung. So we went swimming in the pool instead. I got allot of pic's and I will try to post them latter.

Essay contest

2008-06-30T07:12:00.002-05:00

Alva has been asking me to post about how much
I like horses so I decided that I would have an essay

Fun Night

2008-06-30T06:04:00.003-05:00

Last night we got to see some
good friends of my grandparents
who we have not seen in over two years.
It was fun we had dinner at uncle John and aunt Kerry's
house and then (my favorite part) we did karaoke.
There were so many people that my uncle started calling
it "Flanagan Idle" so my mom went home and got a prize.
We had a really fun time my aunt and I sang a duet to "Our Song"
by Taylor Swift, my dad and josh sang "Five O'clock some where"
and we all sang allot more songs that I wont post because it would take to long.
Any way unfortunately I did not win my aunt won and I was first runner up.
My grandmother got tons of pics I will try and get some and post them.

Bay Bears

2008-06-28T06:39:00.002-05:00

Last night we went to the Bay Bears
Game at the Hank. My grandparents came
with us and we had a great time. The Bay Bears won,
and since it was Friday it was fire works night!
Well we decided to watch the fire works
on Bay Bear mountain, nothing wrong with
that except that to get to the mountain
you have to walk over an area were the
water slide had been drained, and I did not see all the
wet grass in time and I stepped in the mud but did not get
a lot of mud in my shoes. Then there was more wet grass
because of all the rain, and I almost fell in that because I did not see it and started to slip thankfully I did not fall down but I got a ton of
mud and grass in my shoes nasty yuck gross disgusting.
Then I had to walk all the way to the car in them, even
more gross then stepping in the mud because they stank and where
squishy. But the fireworks where really good. So we had a fun night
overall.

Americas Junior Miss

2008-06-26T21:26:00.003-05:00

My mom and I went to a reception
for a few of the Junior Misses from 2007
at the Ben main library in down town
Mobile. It was really neat the
girls all spoke and talked about what
their favorite book had been when
they were younger and the Americas
Junior Miss pageant. Then there were
refreshments in another room and you could
get the girls autographs, I got Miss Alabama's and
Miss South Carolina's.

2008-06-22T07:41:00.002-05:00

We went to miss Sibylla's house on

Wednesday night, and stayed

'til Saturday night. We had sooo much

fun. Our friends the Winkleys were there

and we went swimming and blueberry picking together

and then sold the blueberries. It was fun

Blueberries

2008-06-22T07:30:00.003-05:00

We went blueberry picking the other day

and in an hour and a half we picked 19 pounds!

We only had to pay one dollar a pound

so we went back to miss Sibylla's house

and sold them for Two dollars and fifty cents a pound.

we made about forty dollars but we had

to pay miss Sibylla back for the berries

and then split the remainder between

seven kids. So we did not get a lot of

money.

Glory Road

2008-06-12T06:19:00.003-05:00

We watched an amazing movie
last night called Glory Road!
The movie is based on the
true story of the Texas
Western University basket ball team.
In 1966 Don Haskins is hired to coach the
Texas Western basket ball team and since
he has very little money for recruiting nobody wants to
come play for him. Then he finds some very talented
black kids and they accept the scholarship's that he
has. To find out what happens to the team in that
turbulent time you have to watch the movie. I would rate it with 5 stars.
