I Love the Country

I apsolutly love the country. It's just so beautiful. we live around a bunch of hills. I would have pictures, but the computer decided that I shouldn't have picture, thanks alot! Anyway, back to the country. You'll have to use your imagination and "think" about this. so we hae a hill behind our house, in fron of our house across the rode, a hill on the right side of the house if your facing north, and a side hill on the left that ends up going to the top of the hill on the side of the house, if that makes any sence. If you go up any of these hills, it feels like you can see the world! but something really cool is if you go on top of the hill behind our house, you can see the rode twisting and curving, it is like looking at a painting. I love it in the Winter when it frosts over night and then the trees have a glaze of frost over all their branches. And down here, (we live in a valley type thing so yes, its "down here) we have a lot of tree's covering some of the hills. So can you kind of see why I like the country?

Butter, Milk, and Cream

Our family could NOT survive withought butter, milk, and cream(thanks to my dads part of the family). We drink milk at every meal, and I mean that. We go through 8 gallons of milk a week! Thats more a jusg of milk a day! Butter? Yeah, maybe we eat that a little less, but it's in a lot of food we eat. Last is cream, we were talking about it at super the other night when we were eating our vegetebles (with cream on them) and we decided that we couldn't ever, EVER, be able to survive without it! Cream, my friends, is how you get kids to eat corn, green beans, and peas. So, thats all. Butter, milk, and cream are not just a thought it's a dreamy thought.

Test Your Eyes

          I got this "Test Your Eyes" idea from my mind, amazing, right! First in this list of "m"s find two N's. If you can do this, your good.


                                                 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
                                                 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnmmmmmmmmn
                                                 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
                                                 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

        Did you get them? If youd did, good job! If not, oh well. Know try this one, find a j:

                                            iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
                                            iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
                                            iiiiiiiijiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
                                            iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii


        Actually I think the i's are easier than the m's. If you can do both of these, you have good eyes. For today consider myself a "Thoughtful Eye Doctor".
                                                        


                                   

Speech meet

Alright, so maybe I havn't been blogging about "thoughts" but I mean really, who can really blog constantly about "thoughts" when theres so much going on in there life? Right? My last speech meet was fun! But, my speech's didn't go to well. I did horrible on my serious speech, wonderful (I think) on my humerous speech, and then for the second round, I mixed up time and and missed it for my humerous. I was so upset about it. But I'm over it now. Anyway, it was so fun to hang out for a while. While waiting for rewards, we go so board, we started roaming all over the school. We even bought snacks for no reason at all, I mean I wasn't even hungry! Sorry, no pictures, forgot my camer. Oops! Well maybe I'll get a thought up on here in a while.

Tired

Sorry I havn't bloged in forever. This week has been crazy busy! Sorry, I'm not blogging about any thought today. To tired to think.......again. Same thing happened to me last week because of my speech meet, and now yesterday I had a speech meet and, well, I'm blogging about practically nothing!

Fun Days are Fun

Fun days are fun!!! Like today. We had some homeschooled friends out today and it was so fun. I really like having friends that are homeschooled like me. We hung out for a bit, had lunch, and then went on a hike. There mom said it was time to go at 2:00 but they left at 5:00. I did see that coming, though. It was so much fun. Ok, so what if I say it was fun too much, it was. I meen seriously, whens somethings fun, it's fun. Well, just a thought.

Out at a Rig

My dad works in the oil field. It's pretty cool because he's the rig manage. He works two weeks on and two weeks off. Even though he has to stay out on the rig the whole two weeks, we still get to go out and see him.  And that my friend......is AWESOME!!!! When my dad wasn't the rig manager, we weren't able to go out to the rig. Oh, and you might want to know that my dad stays in a shack and we go in there, not actually ON the rig. Well, I guess we did get to go on the rig once, it was pretty cool. I had to wear a hard hat. It was so heavy I felt like I was going to fall over! But that wasn't going to keep me away from having a grand tour of the rig (yeah, thats what my little sisters called it, the "Grand Tour"). It was really, and I mean  REALLY loud. The one scary part was when we went up this ladder and onto this plat-form-thingy-ma-bob (I don't know how to speak "rig") and it wasn't exactly what you would call completely covered. There was a whole bunch of cracks and I could see water/mud rushing under us. SCARY.  And then we went up really long stairs and up to this really-big-place-where-they-grab-the-pipe-thingy-ma-jag which I beleive is called the "floor". I know I should know this better, I mean seriously, simple names like "floor" should be easy to remember! I'll work on it though. I'm pretty sure I got the "floor" thing figured out, because, well, I've typed it about, I'd say 6 times. No, I'm not going to count. Anyway, I love my dads job. This is just a rig-sized-thought-thingy-ma-jig!!!

My First Speech Meet

Ok, so I'm finally blogging about my first speech meet. It was FUN! 

Here I am with a third place ribbon! I won it for my seious speech, which I'll admit still need work. But, a ribbon is a ribbon, and I was excited.

Alright, I'll admit, I. was. shocked. I mean first place! I never would've guessed! It was for my humerous speech. SHOCKED!!!

Here is me and too of my best friends.(notice the head in the back round? yeah thats my sister who felt left out, HI Brooke!) We were on our way back from the speech meet. I had my hair fixed and everything.....it was perfect.

So that was my VERY busy Saturday, but it was also VERY fun Saturday! Ok, so what if this isn't axactly a "thought" . But hosestly, not every thing is going to be a thought. I have to mix it up once in a while! Right?

Too Tired

Sorry, too tired to blog about a thought. Can't think! I had a speech meet today(part of the reason I'm tired) but I'll blog about it tomarrow, don't worry! I'm tired got to go, can't think any more. This is NOT a thought!

Sweat shirts

Sweat shirts are warm and soft. I love being warm. So does my sister, Brooke. We actually have something in common! Well, I guess we have alot in common. Oh, never mind! Anyway, as I was saying, I wear sweat shirts all the time, even when I'm not cold. The thought came to me when I was talking to my mom and told her to remind me to bring a sweat shirt to my speach meet tomarrow. Right up until then I had never noticed that I'm never not wearing one. Ok, Maybe your just wasting your time reading this being that this is totally meaningless to probably every body that reads this. So, SORRY! Well, I guess I'm just a thoughtful person.

BIG Words!!

I like and I also dislike big words. I like to confuse people with big words. But, I don't like to be confused by big words said by other people. I like the way big words roll of my tongue. I don't like when I try to be smart with them, and then I end up pronouncing them wrong. I like learning new words for fun. I don't like "having" to learn big words.

Big words that aren't that big but are fun to say:
                                                                             Pathetic
                                                                             dramatic
                                                                             carbon dioxide
                                                                             climatic
                                                                              poodle
                                                                            
Big words that I like but get confused by half the time:
                                                                                       chrysanthemum
                                                                                       kemalataturk
                                                                                       lamentation
                                                                                       popocatepetl
                                                                                     
I don't even know what half the things in my list are, I just was paging threw the dictionary and found them. The only word I know in that list is chrysanthemum. It is a flower, but I'm sure you know that. This is a very BIG thought.                           
                                 
                                 

Summer.........Can't Wait!

Summer is getting cloeser!!! I love summer. It is my favorite time of the year, mostly because everything goes on at that time. For example: I have softball(I'm the pitcher), Theatre camp(witch is really awesome and FUN!!), and most important......CAMP!!!! Camp is the absolute BEST thing of the year. I wait all summer(because it is at the end of summer) just to go to camp. It is awesome. Anyway, Summer will be fun! This is an AWESOME thought.

Grandpa's Fudge

This is my Great-Grandpa Alfred's famous fudge. It is AMAZING! 

This is the pan he made the fudge in when he was about my age. You see the lines that go across it? They are creases so that when you poor the fudge in there, let it cool, and finally take it out, there are creases in fudge that guide you on were to cut it. Perfect squares every time!


I'd like to share with you a couple of things about my great-grandpa. He was a great man. He passed away two years ago. It was very sad, but all the memories of him are still with me. He was my dad's grandpa and my grandma's dad.


I'll never forget the Story my mom told me about how he met his wife, Cari. To me this story is like a fairie tale, read and you will see why. When they met each other, Cari's dad did not aprove, and told him to go away. They kept in touch through letters for quite sometime until Alfred decided that he would go to her house and ask her to marry him. Yet her dad still did not aprove and told her if she was going to mary him, she had to go and never come back. She did. I still remember mom saying that they went every where with each other and rarely were ever apart.


Alright, so how about I tell you some memories of when we would go to his house. My mom would call and tell my great -grandpa that we were coming. He would tell her to be sure to go to the store and pick up chocolate milk, and of course she did because no one can ever say no to the man. So after we got the chocolate milk, we would go to his house and he would already have a batch of fresh waffles baked. Mmm, they were good. As we ate the waffles, he would make his famous fudge, our favorite thing EVER!!!


I'm shure you wouldn't mind if I told you the story behind the fudge, would you? Well, When he was about my age, He made it and sold it to his family for a penny. Yes, only a penny! Any way, when he saved up enough money, he would go buy himself a pair of overals. Thats right, HE saved up for his OWN overals. I think that's really cool.


So that's my great-grandpa. It might seem like just a story to you, but to me it's a memory that I will never forget and it means alot to me. My great-grandpa was one of my favorite people to visit. I loved his stories, his waffles, and most of all the memory of that amazing fudge.

Thank yous:

                    I'd like to thank my mom for telling me the story of how my great grandpa met his wife

                    I'd like to thank my grandma for making the fudge and lettingme take a picture of it

                    Last, I'd like to thank my Great-Grandpa Alfred for all the great memories.

This isn't just a thought, It is a wonderful memory that I won't ever forget.

You Want To Know a Trick?

You want to know a trick? Well, have you ever said something really, and I mean REALLY, stupid? Before you say no, and try to hide that you really do, hear me out. You don't have to be ashamed, just listen to a conversation I had with someone the other day......

  "What I said" Says me. (you didn't think I would tell what I said, did you?)
  "What?" Says the confused person.
   "Hm?" Says me.
   "What did you say?"  Says the confused person.
    "Nothing, why?" Says me.
   "You said something"Says the VERY confused person.
   "No I didn't. Did you?" says me, In my "inisant" voice.
   "No I didn't. I'm confused!" Says confused person.
    "Well, I didn't say anything." Says me, using my VERY inasint voice.
   "Just forget it." Says the confused person wondering what just happened!

     There you have it! you should try it, it works very well when you say something and want to take it back. You just have to be sure the conversation is long enough so he/she forgets EXACTLY what you said. Try it. This isn't "Just" a thought. It is a "important" thought for those who get embarassed for silly little things.

Guess WHAT!

Ok, let me start out with the fact that I have 5 SISTERS, not BROTHERS, SISTERS. My mom is expecting so we are excited for that.  So she went for an ultra sound and well, how do i say this, she kind of found it that it was, well......................a BOY! I was totally SHOCKED! I mean a boy, how different will that be? I guess I'v always wanted a brother, but never expected to get one. I'm so shocked that I can bearly contain myself! Well this isn't really a thought it is just an outragous out burst of mine, but oh well, it's good to have a break from a thought, right?

Summer vs Winter

Summer is fun. Winter is cold. Summer, I have softball. Winter, I have school. Summer, I have camp. Winter, I have School. Summer, I have theater camp. Winter, I have school. See where I'm going with this? Take a guess............................................yep Summer wins! You'v just played a game of, "Guess Which One". Just kidding, it was just a thought.

speech...............FUN

     Speech is so much fun. I am doing two different speaches, a humerous one and a serious one. I like both of them but the humerous one is more fun to do, because, well, you know, it's "humerous". Our first speech meet is the 11th. CAN' T WAIT. It will be awesome being that this is my first meet EVER! My humerous speech is about a girl who is taking driving lessons and her mom is teaching her (which she doesn't like). And my serious one is about a couple that is driving home and "alomost" gets in a car accident, but when they reach home, they realize that they are ghosts. Creepy, right. So, I am very excited because it is SO much fun! That's all.
