This was first our first stop on our excursion today. Aunt Gina needed to enlarge and make a couple more copies if some pictures, and this was the place.

This was our next stop.

On our way home. It was really hot once we got back in the car. :(

Me unloading the car. Auntie insisted I hold something for the picture, thus the lemonade in my arm.

A long long time ago.... was the last time I blogged

I am very bad at being consistent with a lot of stuff. stuff named blog. other stuff of course too but the blog is a big one. So let me catch you up on the important recent events.
1. College.... This semester I took my first college class. It English 121 which I guess is just freshman english. I take it at Pikes Peak Community College. So far Ive done ok in it, it is a lot different than Im used to. So far Ive written on my personal definition of violence, a person or place that si important to me, and a paper on advice. Right now Im working on an analysis paper.
2. Sickness.... Since the beginning of the school year I have been sick 3 or 4 times. I hardly ever get sick so this was very wierd and unnormal for me. After we thought I was recovering, I had a small relaps of one of the sickness'. My throat was also hurting so my mom took me to the doctors to get checked for strep. i didnt have strep. So, my mom comes into my room shortly after that and asks me if I have heard of anyone in my school having mono. I hadnt at the time but I learned after that that there were a couple cases of it in the school. So after blood tests we found that I did have mono. yay. while talking to my frend liz yesterday I realized she had the exact same simptoms before me! coinsidence... I think not. the good news is that I feel much better now, though I am still pretty tired.
3. Soccer.... I didnt get to do soccer becasue of my college class and even if I had I wouldnt have been able to play because of the mono.
4. Job... I have been working two mornings a week at one of our friends ranchs that is about ten minutes down the road. Thats is really awesome. I am also applying for a job at the new Marriot Fairfield thats coming in down the road. Hopefully a summer job.... :)
thats all for now.... :D

Cloverfield and Halloween.

So last night my friend Liz, Boo, and I watched a movie. Clovefield. And I must say that it was THE stupidest movie I have ever seen. No plot, rising conflict, or conclusion. It makes me upset just thinking that I wasted and hour and a half of time when I could have been doing something else. But on a happier note, we had soo much fun at New Life, and then had more fun trying to trick-or-treat at like 9:00. No one really came to thier doors. bummer. Then we went home and watched that stupid movie. yay!

Sooo...... Its been awhile

I know friends. Its been a long time since Ive updated my blog. Sorry, but its not very high on my priority list, though I will try to remember more often. So, since the last time I blogged nothing much crazily exciting has happened. I have been going to public school for three classes and out of the three I really like all of then. For one though "like" is a relative term. Chemistry is pretty fun for me, I like my teacher, and I like the stuff we are learning in that class. I think its fun. But I am in conceptual chemistry, which is supposed to just have easier math. Apparently this is the class for all of those who failed regular chem though. So, pretty much all of the people in this class completely grind on my nerves every day. Its very hard for me to be in a class of kids who don't care about one thing and who don't do their homework. So, a lot of the time I come home frustrated because I was the only one in the class who had my homework done or something really stupid like that. Being the homeschooler that I am I'm used to having things done on time. Anyways.. I'm taking photo too and I totally love it.
We are going to have Christmas with my cousins.. yay! It has been about seven months since we've seen them and we get to meet Nacoya too! I am very excited about that. Now all we have to do is convince my grandparents to move here. Not having much success with that though.
It snowed yesterday night(which I was ecstatic about) and... that's about the newest news there is to share.
When I have something else interesting to blog, I will share it with you. :)

15 days later... The Permit!

Yay! I FINALLY got my permit! Fifteen days after my sixteenth birthday, just as long as it was before Boo's birthday. :) Next year at this time, she will be getting her permit, and I will be getting my license. It has taken much longer than expected. But.... I did it. We had to go way down in Colorado Springs to get it, and it took forever, but it was definitely worth it. My father took me driving last night, and it was much different than I originally expected, but it was very fun. Yay!

Sweet Sixteen!

Well three days ago was my sixteenth birthday. It was so much fun! The day of my actual birthday I went out to lunch with my parents, went to school, and then had an awesome steak dinner with no green vegtables in honor of me. yay! That night we watched "Willow", and my parents tell me I was almost named after one of the characters. They just loved the the way they said her name. My sisters gave me an awesome book called "The Brides of Maine". It was really good. Friday we went to the local Mexican restaurant which was really yummy. That night we watched "Over Her Dead Body" and ate cake that one of our friends made for me. It was amazing! Oh, and that movie was dumb. At the resataurant my parents gave my some gorgeous diamond earrings that are absolutly awesome. I am very excited about them. My extended family in Cali gave me the Thriller cd by Micheal Jackson. The funny thing is is that it was blank. Bummer dude. So amazon is shipping me is different one. Over all I had an amazing birthday and I had so much fun. Some other things happening ..... the finishing of lina bolinas playhouse, which is taking place while I am writing; The starting of school, its going awsome; and baby keaton is so cute!

Lina Bolina's Playhouse

Today was devoted to the continued building of Lina's new playhouse. We got all the measurements for the two long walls done, and one built. Then we (being Boo, Dad, and I) decided we were beginning to fade and made the desision to be done for today. So now me and Gabe are watching The Core. The part we are watching is so sad, this dude, we totally watch him die. uuggh. :( here are some pictures of the playhouse.

This is the one long wall we built today. The two open spaces on the top are the are windows.

This is the base of the playhouse. We will be putting plyboard on the top once the walls are up.

And this is Boo Boo. She has been reading this book that her friend Meghan loaned to her.
