Sewing

A while ago I started sewing lessons. My first project was to sew a pillow. It took about four or five lessons but I was a beginner, and had just started. When I finished my pillow my sewing teacher gave me a prize. It was a sewing kit. My next project was an apron. We had to sew a lot to get the apron done. Once I finished the apron, I got to decide if I wanted to sew a lap blanket or pjs. I decided to sew pjs. They were hard. We had to sew along a curved line. I got ahead and Taylor was still working on his pjs when I had finished. I had already bought some other fabric because I wanted to sew another pair of pjs so I started my other pair. Once I finished I could choose my next project. I really wanted to sew a dress, so I started to make a dress. I have not finished it yet but I am excited to finish it and also excited to wear it!

Camping

On Thursday my family and I went camping. We had a lot of fun. When we got to our camping place we went to ask the owners if their park was opened (we were going to camp at Nuns Park), but the owner said that their park wasn't open until Saturday. He also said that about 4 miles up the road was another camp site called Deer Creek so we drove up there and luckily it was opened! We picked our site and then set up camp. Once camp was set up we started the fire so we could make dinner. Our dinner was hot dogs, and for dessert we had pineapple upside down cake. It was so yummy. We went to bed really late, probaly around 10:30pm. Then we went to get ready for bed. We fell asleep, but I had so much trouble staying warm. My legs were so cold, and I was still wearing dad's big fleece coat and my big coat but I was still very cold. I was the first to wake up. For breakfast we had oatmeal, hot chocolate, and left over pineapple upside down cake. Once we had eaten breakfast We rode our bikes to the beach. Me and Taylor tried to catch little baby prairie dogs, but we didn't catch one. We came back to our camp and had lunch.

 Then Taylor, Dad, and I went on a huge hike. We had to walk all the way from our camp to the other camp site, probably about 2 miles! Then we hiked the hill about a couple thousand feet. (It was big.) Once we got to the top of the mountain we had to go down the mountain. It was steep. When we got to the bottom of the hill, we were going to swim from the mountain to our camp site. The swim was a big one too. But then Taylor talked to a family in a boat and they gave us a ride to our camp. Once we went back to our camp, we had dinner and then we started to pack up. Once we were packed up we went to our cousin's house and roasted smores with them. I had a great time camping and I want to go another time soon.

We are on the very top of this hill.  

Reading to my siblings

Today I decided that I want to read fun books to my younger siblings; books like "The Mouse and the Motorcycle," "Stuart Little," and some other fun kid books. I started reading "Charlotte's Web" to Camryn and Deacon. We've read to page 17.  In the story Fern saves a pig, and she names the pig Wilbur.

One day at school she was still thinking about her pig's name when her school teacher asked her, "Fern, what is the capital of Pennsylvania?"

"Wilbur," Fern answered.

I have all ready watched the movie a couple times, but Iv'e only read the book once. Camryn and Deacon both liked the pig best, and I like Fern and Wilbur. In the book is Fern is my age, 8, and so that is fun for me.

My Suzuki book one recital

On Friday, March 25th I had my Suzuki book one recital. Earlier in the week I handed out my invitations. People started to come at 6:55 and I thought that it was only 6:35! When the first person came my mom had just done my hair. When it was time to start the recital I was excited but a little nervous too. For my recital I told my published story called, "Magical Meggie," and I played songs as they fit the mood of the story. I did not play all my songs perfectly but I did do really well. I only messed up on four or five  songs. After the recital we had refreshments upstairs. One of the treats were my cookies, that me and Taylor sell in our business.
I had a fun recital, and I am excited to have my Suzuki book two recital.

About Me

 

I am eight years old and my birthday is in October. 

I love to cook and I am an expert at making messes.  

                    

                         I love to do triathlons and when I had my first one I had to wear a life jacket because they said that I had to. I think it slowed me down. Me and Taylor wore wet suits because the water was very cold.  

When I was a baby me and my brother, Taylor would hop in a bucket and play in water in it, it was fun.

We had two guinea pigs Tron and Cora. We had then for a while but they were stinky so mom and dad gave them away. We love our guinea pigs and I hope we can get more.   

Guinea pigs

Today we went to the library, and we did pet reports and read about animals. I read about Guinea pigs. I did a pet report, and I leaned all about Guinea pigs. Guinea pigs are constantly on alert for predators. Sometimes they might even sleep with there eyes open! And they are not nocturnal animals. Guinea pigs need lots of space to play and exercise. An indoor pen is the best place. Guinea pigs love to play hide and seek. If you don't give attention to them they can get unfriendly and mean, but if you spend a lot of time with them, you will have a nice, happy, and friendly pet. Wild Guinea pigs eat any kind of fresh greens, like grass, leafs buds, bark, twigs, fruits and seeds. Guinea pigs eat as much as they can, They eat up to about forty-sixty meals a day! Short haired Guinea pigs are easy to take care of, because you don't have to brush there hair every day.
I really, really want to get a pet Guinea pig, and hope we do. We used to have two, there names were Tron and Cora.
