It's almost here!

My favorite holiday of the season is just right around the corner..... CHRISTMAS!!!!

I love the baking, decoration, lights, and of course presents

Some of the cookies my mom and I made

I love to decorate too.  My mom and i of course did most of it.

And the tree. I did all the wrapping but the ones for me

I'm also helping my grandma with her wrapping, so be good or you don't get anything.

Just 7 more days of school and then its my vacation.  I'm already done with my two online classes, so now all i have to worry about is three classes a day.  Had my friends over to give them their gifts and we watch Cinderella 2.

I hope everyone as a happy holiday.

Confession

I confess I'm a shopaholic.  My favorite thing is to do is shop and every time i go shopping it is rare if i don't at least get one thing. And it doesn't make it any easier that my favorite stores are in St. Cloud. I even ketch my self checking the websites of the stores when i do my daily computer checking for sales. And if you saw my closet you would think i do have a problem. Its more of a little room. But i never by anything full price, always get the deals.

Miss you lots

as you all know a year ago today my best friend died, my grandpa Harvey. I always miss and love you.

On a silent night when friends are few,

i close my eyes and remember you.

a silent night, a silent tear,

a silent wish you were here.

Black and Orange Day

Today was Black and Orange day and the activity was Lightning (a basketball game). Sad to say i don't have much tiger clothes even though my parents own the towns embroidery shop. We didn't place in either the black and orange or the lightning. But we did get 2nd for the Victory cry. If you don't know what that is its when each grade at different times yell out V.I.C.T.O.R.Y. that's the Junior battle cry (or what ever grade their in) and they do it as loud as the can, the loudest is the winner.

Tonight is the Homecoming Football game, good luck boys!

class color day and crazy day

sorry i forgot to do my post yesterday.  yesterday was class color day and volleyball.  Juniors class color was black and we had t-shirts made they said like a Boss (its a song) but the B was a 13 for the class of 2013, which we got 2nd place for. we got 1st for volleyball.

Today was crazy day, which i did not do.  i am not sure who won. The event was wheel chair races, we got 1st.  people say we cheated because we had a girl that was actually in a wheel chair compete for us. But there was no rules that we could use her.

On Tuesday was our homecoming volleyball game, we won!

pajama day

today was pajama day and tug-o-war. the junior boys got 2nd in tug-o-war and we wont speak of how bad the girls lost.  sorry i forgot to take a picture of my pajamas, i just wore basketball shorts and a t-shirt.

Dress up day


Our homecoming week is this week and the first day was dress up day. not a very good picture of the outfit but you get the idea.

School Update

Junior year

so far school has been going good. i actually have a boring day. First class i have Mass Media and the teacher is always off track, so its a easy class. second class i have online photography, i like it a lot but the thing is it takes me a day to do a weeks worth of work. third class i have online history, i don't do anything during that time because i do it during my photography class. after lunch i have study hall and then i have my trig stats and prob math class, math comes easier for me so I'm doing good in that class. last class i have Spanish, i like the new Spanish teacher and i don't think the class is to hard. my last Spanish quiz i got a 1/2 wrong! besides classes, school has been good besides the girl drama. next week is our homecoming week so pictures are promised.

Fact Friday

My favorite subjects are Math and Art

First day of school

today was my first day of 11th grade. it was kind of boring due to not having any exciting classes. the classes I'm taking are:

• Mass media (lots of people in because the other English class is a college level and most people don't like the teacher)
• Online Art of Digital Photography ( in the library so very boring. it takes me a day to pretty much do the weeks worth of work)
• online US history (in the library again)
• Lunch (good class)
• Trig/Stats/Prob (lots of people again, but i like math)
• Spanish (new teacher this year, eight people in that class, I'm the oldest)

Just to give you a little info why i didn't take the college level class and took the easy one instead. well the teacher accused me of plagiarism two times and one time it was because the paper was to good (i didn't plagiarise), second time wasn't my fault it was a group project and i didn't right the papers. now to the story my mom loves: My mom and I went in during the summer to talk to the principle about my schedule, because i had to change some classes. well i needed a English credit and he said that i could take comp with Ms. Wyatt (the teacher i don't like) and i flat out said no i don't like her. my mom thinks it was so funny that i told the principle that and that i dont care what i say. he just laughed it off. thats why i love my school i can get by with anything and the teachers dont get mad at me.

Fair #5

Last Wednesday my dad and Megan left for South Dakota, our fair #5 was the state fair there.  my mom and i stayed home and had the shop open for a few day than we left Friday afternoon to join them.  we did really well at this fair. I'm sure we will do it again next year. Monday morning my mom and i left early to go home so i would get home at a good time because of school the next day. Megan and my dad got home 1:30 am Tuesday morning.

Creations

Sense we have been going to lots of fairs. my mom came up with the idea that i make some of my colorful projects and we can put them in our booth so i can make some extra $$. so on Monday we went to crafts direct got some supplies, Monday night worked on it and most of Tuesday finished up so i could have it ready for South Dakota state fair.

Large: $2





Large boxes: $8

Small boxes: $6

 

Small with magnets: $1
medium: $1



Late wordless wednesday

fair #4

yes another fair. it was only two days, but there was a lot of neat activities. Ms tator tot, potato sack fashion show, mash potato eating contest, mash potato wrestling, and more and more potato things to do but didn't watch all. we even got free french fries! we were selling the same things as the fair #3 but we added a shirt. dad and his big ideas of making the millions. we were doing the cancer shirts of $10 each and we donate $4. we had a lady come up and asked if she can just give a donation and not get a shirt, so we said ya she could. my mom was thinking she would give the $4, no she gave $20! we had some generous people and some annoying ones, but at least my mom and i had some funny people watching to do.

dads new clothing line



First day of school

yup that's right it was my first day of school today. But it was for my college online classes. i am taking US history and digital photography and i have weekly assignments. and of course sense i like things done i finish my first week in the first day. well it was the introduction stuff but it was still a weeks assignment.

fair #3 pics

first shirt saying: I'm here when you need someone to lean on.

second shirt saying: who ever said winning isn't everything never had to fight cancer.

55 different color necklaces and 3 different color bracelets

fair #3

well its another weekend at the fair. now we are selling the titanium necklaces and cancer t-shirts. we have two different cancer shirts for $10 and every one we sell we are going to donate $4 to the coborns cancer center. we are also donating 100 shirts to the coborns cancer center! we do have one of our fair followers here at the fair again, they are the ones with the air brush tattoos. but unfortunately our purse people friends couldn't come. they were going to come but backed out at the last minute. i do not have my camera with so i cant take any pictures of the shirts or booth.

R.I.P.

Today i found out that the dad of a boy in my class died. he cant be that very old because he has a 16 year boy and a 3 year old little girl. he had been diagnosed with his cancer last fall and was said to not make it through the summer. so today my mom and i took two paper bags full of paper products to the family. we did this because we know how much food they would get.

Fair #2

this week is our fair #2, its 5 days long. so far its been going good, but today was the first day so it always can get better.  the best part of the fair i think is, at the last fair we got to know some new people and they are at this fair too. so i get to hang out with the purse people and their three kids. and also the tattoo people. ya at first we didn't know their names so we referred them as the purse people and the tattoo people. if you were wondering how the last fair went, we were so close to beating my dads goal, but hopefully this time we can pass our new goal. if i have time i will try to get pictures on of our booth #2 sometime this week.

fair #1

this weekend is our first county fair for selling our titanium necklaces. we also have the schools t-shirts and photo shirts. yesterday was our first day of selling and we did pretty good for the slowest day. if you are wondering what titanium necklaces are they are what athletes or any one can wear to help relaxe muscles. you probably thinking ya right they don't work. but they actually do, i have knee problems so i cant play sports. but i have noticed when i wear them my knees don't hurt.I'm also one of those people that don't think those type of things work, the only reason why i starting wearing them because of the look and colors. my mom, grandma, sister, and i put our crafts in the craft fair. only one thing of our things didn't place but we figured that. i had a drawing that got 1st. my mom, grandma and sister also had lots of things in first. grandma thinks its funny that her baby afghan got 1st and moms got 2nd.

Lake

today i went the first time this summer swimming. ya first time this season. we always had a pool set up at our house but the poles are kind of broke. i went with two of my friends to the lake today from 1 pm- 3:45 pm. i had fun, but lets just say I'm as pink as my room. if u haven't seen my room before its a bright pink. i guess that's what u get for over 2 hours in and out of the lake. but i had a blast, hopefully i can do it again another day. sorry i didn't get any pics.

driving

so today i finished up my behind the wheel from 9 am- 11 am. and than i had my drives test at 2pm. i was really nerves and than i saw that i had to have the guy that no one likes because he doesn't pass a lot of people. so i do my vehicle check, 90 degree back up, parallel parking, down hill parking (which i don't think it was a hill but he did), and drove around to do 4  right turns and 4 left turns. he didn't say anything about how i was doing until i parked in the parking lot. he start rattling stuff off what i didn't do right. *gulp* i was ready for the words of him saying i didn't pass. than he ripped of my form and said now your mom can take you to the court house to get your license. i passed! i was still shaking from being scared when felling out the paper work. so i took my eye test, and than smiled for my picture. i did it i passed my test the first time.

kids

today my aunt Robin and I went to help my cousin Amy at her daycare when she went to get a ultrasound. when she was gone all her daycare kids were napping but her older three kids were not. so i got to hang out with them for a while. before Amy got home from the doctors the kids got up. well let me say my mom thinks I'm a kid magnet because kids always come to me. and that's what they did i had almost all 10 of the kids around me playing cars. and of course i love little kids. I'm hopping to go to school later on for child development or anything to do with little kids. I'm even going to take a online class for teaching young children this school year. after playing some cars we had snack, played with more cars and one by one they left. i did two of the oldest ones fingernails and put some glittery hair spray in their hair. and then my aunt took us out for pizza! i had a fun day and got to spend it with my aunt, my older cousin Amy, her husband, and four of my younger cousins. hopefully i can do it again someday. =]

update

(wearing Megan's sun glasses)

sorry i haven't been updating i just never knew what to write about. well i haven't been doing much this summer. what I've done is go with my mom for her chemo and wound doctor appointments. she is doing good, her wound on her back from her surgery looks a lot better now. and we have now been going every Monday to st cloud for her chemo, 9 more Mondays to go. i also help mom around the house. I've been working for my dad at his embroidery shop and soon we will be going to three fairs to sell some of his products. I've had a couple play dates with my little cousin faith too, its fun to watch her and Megan argue. she gets mad at Megan a lot. i don't like that they are starting to put school supplies out at stores they like to rush things. but i guess they have to get it out sooner or later, i wished it was never. my mom and i made plans that when she is done with chemo we are going to go get our nails done, so we have been growing them out. well what about Megan does she get her nails done? she pretty much doesn't have any she bites them to nothing. i will try to update more.

Bummed

well I'm bummed because i cant get my drivers license. the town where i would take my drivers test isn't taking any more people because of a possible government shut down. so all the places around here are booked. i just have one more time for behind the wheel with my instructor and than I'm ready. he says I'm a good driver except I'm getting the bad habit of not stopping before the stop sign. so hopefully i can take my test before school starts so i can drive to school once in awhile.

5841 days old

I am now 5841 days old... or if you don't want to do the math i turned 16 yesterday! i had some family over on my birthday and had fun. i did not get many pictures.

The cup cakes i made the only help i had was my mom frosted them.
