More Ramblings...

2009-09-14T15:38:00.000-07:00

First of all my dad is the nicest dad in the world. Even though he doesn't know it he's going to get me either a maltipoo or a miniature beagle. I would be so happy if he got it very soon. And i know I can handle having small dog.

My really nice grandma got me this bedding. I also have matching brown shams but they came later.

My pet Ginger. She is a Robo Hamster.

My Grandma also gave me a gift card to Justice. I used it to get a new wardrobe (minus the wardrobe). This is my favorite ensemble.

This is when I was freaking out while my Aunts threw me in the air. They were all cheerleaders so they decided to do cheerleading with me. And as you can tell I am freaked out!

Here is my cute bro! This is when Kaden was playing lost and found with me and he kept smashing his head in the pillows. It's the same as hide and seek.

This is after we played the game and he pretty much crashed on my bed.

This is our favorite game in the world. It's called "the blanket". He likes to sit in the middle of the blanket while I shake it, he likes to go under it and he likes it when I hide under it. Every time I put the blanket away he throws a temper tantrum and usually ends up getting put to bed.

Lucky You!

Here's a fun thing I got from my Grandma's blog.

If you are one of the first 5 people to comment on this post I am going to make you something special just for you. Here are the restrictions and the CATCH:

1. I hope you will like it but I can't guarantee it.
2. I might bake it, make it or write it.
3. It might take a little while.

And here is THE CATCH:
you have to offer the same thing on your blog!

POOF - I'm back!

2009-05-06T20:20:00.000-07:00

Don't worry all my blog fans - I'm still alive!

These are preserved bugs with needles going through them. I could only look at it for 2 seconds before I threw up. It was from my science class when we were studying insects.

Here I am showing my mom that I understand compound and simple eyes. I was also modeling a chewing mouth. Oh and I really didn't want to put this picture on my blog but my mom made me!

My volleyball team and I being goofy.

This is my radical totally awesome serving.

Tori and I subbing.

Game over and if you are wondering why I have long sleeves on it is because I have poison oak - again.

Here is Patches (the big one) and Samantha (the little one). Samantha was a girl for 36 hours or so we thought. So it turns out Samantha is now Sampson. My genius Papa thought "something" was an umbilical cord.

This is the Ghost horse/brat horse.

And this is the worlds cutest baby who wants to go in the pin with the horses.

THE END

Randomness... like always!

2008-12-07T06:32:00.000-08:00

Here are some funny pictures from the other night when Adison was being SO CRAZY! We were all laughing at her so hard!!!

Here I am doing my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE thing in the world!!! I am cantering on Apache. I can't wait to do this on Sierra some day.

I was pretending to be an injured (maybe dead) soldier at war... Lauren is scared on the horses but I begged her to do this pose with me.

And here is me doing one of my LEAST favorite things in the world but I get to do this one A LOT!

Pit Stop (because it's quick)

2008-09-30T13:00:00.000-07:00

This is what we do when we are bored. Our favorite thing in the backyard is a ramp. Doesn't it look fantastic!

I am an ameteur photographer. I love my mom's new camera. It is so fun to play with. Here is a picture I took of Kaden.

I got a little bit carried away with cuteness on boys! My dad wan't happy about this at all.

I will try and post again tomorrow or within the week.

Kaden, Kaden, Kaden and of course... a little of ME!

2008-08-03T14:07:00.000-07:00

We haven't been able to find my mom's camera and we finally found my dads.

This is me Avery, Kenyon and so on... Kaden wasn't that happy that I took his paci out when we took the picture.

Kaden is in a very good mood right now and I happened to get him to laugh.
My mom thinks Kaden's bottom is so cute and I just had to tell you guys.
"Adia stop tickling my feet, that hurts"
This is a book that my Aunt Stacey made for me after I came home from New York. I really like this photo album but there is one picture that really embarrasses me because my pants were a little low (do you get what I mean... if you don't scroll down).

my pink underwear was showing!

Mixed Bag

2008-06-18T21:05:00.000-07:00

I got the name mixed bag from an Arts Camp I'm going to because it's a bunch of things combined and that's what this is going to be because I haven't gotten to do this in a while.

This is me holding my brand new cousin Olivia. The first thing Olivia did when I held her was make a really weird face. She put her lips all scrunched up and me and Uncle Ben started laughing.

These 2 pictures are on Father's Day when we took my dad to DL Bliss in Tahoe for a surprise day of camping.

Man my arms are sore right now from this day in volleyball camp. I've always loved sports and volleyball and that's why I am doing this and it's really fun.

This is me and T on our last day in Washington. We had a lot of fun while we were there. We played video games and went out to breakfast a few times.

On our way to WA we stopped at seal rock in Oregon. The closest I got to a seal while I was there was probably about 50 feet down in a seal cave.

This is me and my dad in a big tide pool. There was a big hole in this little dip in the rock and I'm in the dip and every time a wave came the hole would spray out water and that is why I was scared. My dad was making me pick up an orange starfish. Now that it is over I am super glad I did it and I can say "I picked up a starfish". This is something very interesting that some of you might like to know... every single leg that you pick off a star fish makes another star fish.

This is at the nicest hotel I have ever been to and I am serious. Our hotel room was the best. You literally walked out and you were at steps to get to the beach.

These are the 3 oldest kids on the Howell side of my family. This is my strongest cousin holding me on his shoulders. We were playing mermaids and Adrian was our body guard (Hailey and me were princesses). Even though we are older we still like to play like kids.
THE END!

Big Sister of 4!

2008-05-02T13:26:00.000-07:00

Hi everybody. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Life has been busy. As you all probably know I am now a big sister or not 2, not 3, but 4! So I decided to show you a little bit about my life in the last 9 days.

These are my 4 siblings that I take care of everyday. I feed them breakfast and lunch, clean up after them and even do Kaden's diapers. I wake up early, walk my dog, get home take care of Kaden and make breakfast usually. Then Adison wakes up and I try to take care of her too but sometimes it doesn't work.

This is Kaden not even 10 minutes old. I was there when he was born. The Dr.'s asked me if I wanted to cut the umbilical cord but I said "no thanks!" I've already cut one (Adison's) once so it wasn't that big of a deal and I didn't feel comfortable cutting off part of a babies body.
I had to wait almost 20 minutes before I could hold him. I didn't like that! When I did hold him he fell right asleep and my mom tried to put him to sleep but I was the only one who could do it.
I didn't want my mom to take this picture because of the big bandaid on my face but she took it when I wasn't looking. Don't I look like I know what I am doing? I mean, I think I should after holding babies for 4 or 5 years now.
Here's one more when Kaden was 5 days old. We had been swimming all day and when it was time for dinner I finally got to hold the baby again.The End... I will try to post sooner next time!

Animal Rescuer Part 2

2008-02-17T17:56:00.000-08:00

Valentines Day this year was a dog gone fun one! We were getting ready to leave for our Valentine Party and my mom wanted us to gather for a picture when suddenly a dog ran up that I spotted. So my mom was too interested in the picture and she didn't really care about the dog. She told me that after she got a picture I could rescue it. When the picture was over I ran down the street to see if I could find it and it was sitting in our car. It was in the front seat with it's head out the window. After going door to door to see if anyone recognized who the dog belonged to I got on my hands and knees to beg my mom if I could take it to the party with us. I was worried about leaving it at our house because it hated Max (our dog) and I didn't want to leave it in the street because it could get hit by a car so I had to take it with us. My mom said "no". But I begged and begged and she turned soft.

Here is how I found it's owner... When I got home from the party, as you all probably guessed, I made posters and decided to take the dog with me on the walk to post the posters. As soon as I was done posting one on mailbox I hear a girl who was probably 13 or 14 yelling the dogs name. His name is Blackberry. I got around the corner and the dog literally dragged me to his owner.

THE END!

My Life In The Last Month

2007-12-17T21:53:00.000-08:00

Kenyon agreed to kneel at the manger if I took a picture of him. The picture turned out so good that I thought I should put it on my blog.

Although Max looks like a calm dog in this picture... I'm really wrestling him. After we took this picture Max got away from me because his collar wasn't on and he got under the tree and almost pulled it down and he got a hold of a glass ornament.
These are my BEST friends. The one in the green shirt is Danielle, the one in the pink shirt is Olivia, the one in the brown is Hannah and if you are wondering... the one in the grey shirt is ME! This is me and Hannah introducing my class at the co-op family night. Our class is called Holiday History and Traditions. My mom taught this class.
I'm not singing... I'm kind of like singing part of a poem.

This is Kenyon and Avery's class singing this little light of mine. I must say Avery was one of the only kids singing.
This is the final four national championship games of volleyball. My dad and I went. We saw Stanford against Pen State and Pen State won... boo hoo hoo! We also saw USC play Stanford. USC lost by 2 points.
This is the girls in a huddle. My favorite players are #1, #6, #16 and #20.

Poison Oak

2007-11-13T11:13:00.000-08:00

This is a picture of Poison Oak. Poison oak can grow anywhere from the top of trees and under ground. It's easy to get it if you go near a plant or if you cut down a tree and are hand moving the logs. This is the kind that is near my house. There are many different kinds of poison oak but this is the kind that I got. I'm pretty sure.

I have poison oak on my arm but you can not really see it in this picture because there is not enough light to show it. It's really bad to get it on your arm and on your hand because those are the places that your skin touches the most. I've had this for over a week and I'm getting a little better. My face isn't that bad anymore but it still itches like crazy.
I just got it on my legs today. I got it on my legs because when I was supposed to be cleaning I was playing with my brother and sister and rolling all around and scratching.
This is my arm and it looks like a disease huh? I don't know why I have it so bad on my arm but I'm hoping it will get better the soonest. Because I can't lay down without thinking about it. I can't even put my arm straight.

The worst part about this is that I have missed one field trip, one Thanksgiving dinner, one get together with my friends, a birthday party, a bible study, some school and co-op and church.

The best part is I get to watch lots and lots of movies and go online a lot.

And if you are wondering how I got it... me and the girl who helps my mom with us (Ms. Sarah) were going on a nature walk with Avery, Kenyon and the dog. And little did we know there was lots of poison oak down there. To get to the place we were going to go we had to go down a rock trail and then into weeds and then we were there. Then once we got there we let the dog go cause we knew he wouldn't go too far from us. Then as were guessing the dog ran into the poison oak. While we were there we caught 13 out of 18 frogs we saw in the creek and we got up to our knees in water. The next day I had poison oak, then my dad got it, then my mom and then my little brother.

THE END!

This is a picture of a dog that was lost but now it is found. We found it at the park by our house and brought it home. It was very stinky and wasn't hungry or thirsty so we knew it hadn't been lost for long. We gave it a bath because it stunk like crazy. We made posters to put up in our neighborhood but as soon as my mom went to put it up she saw that the owner had put a sign up already. The lady said it wouldn't eat what we gave it because it only eats the food it gets flown in from New York. It only eats raw filet mignon and broiled chicken. Fancy doo dah huh? I think that is pretty much spoiling a dog to the limit. She told us it gets lost a lot and I wonder why she doesn't have a collar on it. Well it was fun to have an extra dog for the day, whom Avery named "Blow". I don't why but maybe it's because it looks like it had been blown in a tornado. I can't wait for my next animal rescue. Oh and by the way... this dog has been hit by a car two times.

Dad's done it again!

2007-10-24T19:50:00.000-07:00

Well dad's done it again...he almost killed me. As you all probably know, I LOVE to kayak. Unfortunately that life has come to a stop. After my dad probably tried to kill me by taking me past my limit. While we were kayaking he told me it would probably be only 3 more rapids but it turned out to be more like 13! I'm only used to little baby rapids and when we were on the 5th rapid there was a huge boulder in the water and the water was already moving pretty fast, it was practically a huge wave and for a second it looked like I was in an ocean. Also I get nervous when people watch me try things and there were 3 or 4 people watching me. They were all in hard shells. Hard shells are made for tricks. He goes and tries to do a 360 in the water and he ended up falling out. I was thinking if a grown up falls out then I am going to too but I didn't. We ended pulling over because I was bawling becasue I almost died. P.S. I won't be trying that again...unless my dad sees this and makes me!

My New Dog Maximus

2007-10-23T17:23:00.000-07:00

For my first post I thought I would tell you about my first real pet Max. He is very energetic! and a little nippy. He's about 5 months old now. We have had him for three months. This picture is about when we first got him. He's a lot bigger now and tougher.

Max stands for Maximus Lucious the Gladiator!
