Summer Bucket List

After this week I will have only two more weeks of school left until summer break. I am so excited, especially since I'm going to 4-H summer camp!!! I am also going to Art Camp, and it will be my 5th year and the last time I do it. Anyway, I am about to list my summer ideas for when I'm really bored.

• make a huge tent by wrapping string around three trees, putting sheets over it and filling it with chairs, books, blankets, a picnic basket, and drawing materials. (I will post pictures if it happens)
• Put glow sticks in a swimming pool at night ,and go swimming.... first I need to find a pool.
• make gummy bear ice-pops
• make my own lemonade stand...I don't know, I just think that might be fun.
• Create a boutique that sells bows, bracelets, necklaces, room decor, etc.
• have a family water balloon fight
• go to the pond and go fishing
• volunteer at the local library and humane society 
• create a time capsule to dig up in a year 
• create an obstacle course 
• start a flower garden complete with flowers (state the obvious), a little fish pond (maybe),and  a bird bath
• make a wind-chime

I hoped you enjoyed! Comment what you plan to do this summer.

April Update

This isn't the best pick, but I couldn't get those chicks to be still.

I haven't posted in a while and I have lots of things to catch up on. So I will tell about some of the main things that have been going on.

• Iggy, our cat, is going to have babies around June 18. Comment if you want one! There will probably be about three kittens.
• On the 14th of this month we competed in the district poultry judging competition. The junior team got 2nd place and the senior team got 3rd place. Ben was the high individual for the senior team, Ericka was second out of 70 kids in the junior team, and I got 10th place out of 70 kids.
• One of our hens had two chicks! They are so cute!
• This month for my birthday I am planning on having some girl cousins over for a sleep over.
• With 4-H I volunteered at our local AG Day. I helped Mrs. Jeri teach several (12) classes to 5th grade kids. It was very necessary for these kids, because they had no clue about where their food comes from. One kid thought that chocolate milk came from brown cows..... come on.

 

Painting My Room

I’ve always wanted to have a bright blue room, and on Sunday after church, I finally got it painted…. I say that I got it painted, but mom did most of it. I did help out by watching my two year old sister, Sadie. My room is shared with my sister, Ericka, and soon Sadie will share it with me! We also got a white bunk bed with stairs! I will show you the painting pictures and when the room is completely finished I will show it to you.

Cloverleaf DPA 2015

Saturday was a very exciting day for me! I got to go to Cloverleaf District Project Achievement (DPA). Another thing was that Mama and Daddy couldn't make it. At first I was pretty nervous because I had always had at least one family member. Ben and Ericka were there at DPA, but they are board members so they have several duties, like helping with the food.

This year for DPA I did the category, creative stitchery. In 2014 I did crafts, but since
I got first place in that category I couldn't do it again. I love sewing, so that wasn't a problem. I had to make several trips to Grandma's so I could make an apron! One time when I came I was so tired that I just burst out crying!(I'm not dramatic!!!!!)

So when I got there I started fearing the worst. I was thinking crazy things like, what if I get left behind, and what if I mess up!!!! When I got safely to my room I felt less nervous and more excited! I was the last person to go, and I was tired and hungry. I asked someone where the cafeteria was and then I ate. The food was a chicken sandwich and a huge cookie. 

After I ate I went and saw Ben and E.J. and I met up with someone that I saw at Ben and Ericka's DPA. Soon afterwards was the awards assembly! I was getting discouraged because the girl I was up against did pretty well, but finally they called my name. I got first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After that me and my crew, Ben and Ericka, basically got lost! We walked all around the middle school for a long time, but we finally found the 4-H van!!!!!! Our 4-H leader bought all of us a treat at DQ and then we went home. I loved this DPA and I will always remember it!

2015 Cinderella Movie!!!!

On Friday the new Cinderella movie came out. I really badly wanted to go since I normally don't get to see movies the day they come out. I asked mama and she said that I could go.... and would it really be fun without some of the cousins coming? So, Ericka, Mama, Sara, Aunt Lori, Lillie, Grace, and Becca all went with us!!!

It was a great movie and the girl who played Cinderella was a great actress. I like this movie even better than the movie, Frozen. I advise the move to everyone.... everyone but guys.
