We, as in Caitlin, my mom, and I, have a full day today!!!  We have to get everything ready to take to the fair tomorrow.(it's a Fri.)  I have to block the blanket I crocheted, put wire on my picture frames, and help Caitlin sew her horse blanket. Tomorrow also is a full day. We have co-op in the morning, and after co-op  some friends are coming over and we're going to the Park meeting, then we have to take the stuff to the fair before 5 p.m.(co-op is with our homeschool group and I'm taking Phisical science, Creative writing, and Geography.) I'm not sure what we're doing Fri. night but there's a chance my sister Lauren will get home from vacation Fri. night. Maybe she'll come over?!?  ;-)  

Nathan went to vo-tech at hinds to do building trades this morning. He does it every other day. On the days he's not going to vo-tech he's usually at Miss Karens doing school work.  Either way he's seldom home. And on the weekends a lot of times he has stuff going on like Cap, and Mowing lawns. ( He has a surt of business where he does lawn work for people!)  

I Hope you all have a wonderful day,   Amber

Sorry I haven't written in a while I really don't have much of an excuse, except that I've been pretty busy. You would think that I would have enough time to get on here and just write a bit!! ;-)   I hope I can do better.

We can't drive our car because something is wrong with it and it won't be fixed until mon. or tues. :-(   Therefor we had to cancell our piano lesson, and probably won't be able to go to Teens 4 Christ drama practice! :-(   I'm pretty aggravated with our car!  Also we have to drive my older sister's car (which isn't very dependable) to every where we absolutly HAVE to go. This week we have a lot of places we really need to go like for example, we have to go to co-op classes, Park meeting, and we have to go and drop off our crafts at the fair on Fri. And on Sat. we have to go do a fundraiser with T4C youth group!!  :-(   (T4C stands for Teens For Christ!)   So you can see why I'm aggravated with our car!!

Got to go so I can finish my school work, Amber  

bloggers, I'm sorry I haven't written in a while I'm going to try to update ya'll. I'm going to a Natches youth conv. on Fri. and Sat. I don't think I'll be singing though. I haven't been able to contact anybody in the chior so I'm not going to sing unless the call me back.  

My cat is expecting kittens in the middle of March. I'm guessing she'll have 3 kittens.  I can't wait!!               

I heard there is soposed to be a storm sometime in the next few days I hope it won't bring in a cold front. It's been 70 for the past couple days, and we're hoping to go hiking before it gets too hot. Our church also wants to go campping this Spring. I hope we can do both!!!

If you have any questions just leave a comment and I'll try to anwser as soon as possible! ;-)   Or you can E-mail me at Dbynums7@AOL.com

Hi! It's been a long time since I've bloged so I have a lot to tell. I got a lot of stuff for Christmas. I got a shelf, some games, a string of flower lights, and some crafts. I got a photo album filled with all the pictures from whin I was just a couple months old to now.  She also gave me a bag with candy in it. I'm sure I'll be able to eat it all, because it had a lot in it.

Chris grilled for us on Christmas day. It was about 45 out ,but it was sunny most of the day. To a lot of people 45 is wonderful (like Chris thinks) but to me 45 is cold.  We didn't eat lunch until 2:00 in the afternoon so we weren't very hungry for supper. My dad got sick that night and went to bed early. He had a really bad headache. We had to be really quiet after that.   

Well,I have church tonight so, Bye     Amber, Nichole

To Anna,Betsie, and Candice- I really missed you at park on Fri. :-(  I hope you all get well soon. :-)       

To Anna:   GET WELL SOON!!!!!!!     I hope I see you at book club on Tuesday!  :-)

Today I'm going Christmas shopping. I have already bought for some people, but I still have to buy for my brothers, my mom, and my dad. I don't know what I am going to get but I have some ideas. My mom is going to take Caitlin with us because she also has to buy for the same people.  we're about to go so I have to get off now, I will try to blog later if I have time.   Well, bye for now, Amber

To day was the first Real day of shool in about a week! We've been selling candy and Nathan and Caitlin have been sick. :-(  At least I haven't gotten sick. :-)   I can't believe it's Only 12 days till Christmas!!!!  People have been asking me what I want for Christmas but I can't say. I mean there's really nothing I need right now and ever since I moved into my new room,which is smaller than my old room, I don't have much room for anything else. The only thing I want is another cat or hamster,and my mom won't get me one. :-(    Well at least it will be a surprise when I open my gifts because I wouldn't have told anyone what I want so there will be nothing I asked for in the gifts I get. If you can understand that. :-)   I love christmas but I don't like the days After Christmas because there's SOOO much cleaning, putting things away, and not have anytime to look at what I got.

Well, I got to go, Amber!

Cheyenne is over today and she and Caitlin are playing with some stuff that my Grandmother gave us. My Grandmother lives in Tenesse. Friday, Saturday,and Sunday my dad took Nathan and Caitlin to my Grandmothers. I stayed home to help with Cheyenne over the weekend. My mom and I had a lot of fun by our selves without Nathan and Caitlin. We went out to eat, stayed up late watching a movie, and went stamping on Sat. at the Library.

Caitlin on the other hand called from my Grandmothers house and said she was home sick. My mom said that there was nothing she could do and that she would see her on Sun. afternoon. I enjoyed being by myself just me and my mom. I don't think I would like being an only child though. I wish sometimes I was but then I remember that if I were an only child I wouldn't have anybody to fight with! : )

Well, I got to go Amber.

Nyan showed me this. I thought you'd like to see it. I think the reason it came back like this was because my mom is from Wis. (Way up north.)

I had some people tell me they wished that I would write more than just about kittens so I'm going to write about the choir I'm in.

It all started at church camp last summer. It was the last day and people were going home.I was waiting for my mom to get there and in the last service they said that at 1:00 P.M. that afternoon we could audition for the Mississippi All State Youth Choir.  

It cost twenty dollars and auditioning didn't mean you were in it. I told my mom about it when she got there and she asked me if I would like to audition and I said "Yes I'd love to audition." So I auditioned and about two months later I got a pamplet,letter,cd,and a form that said I was accepted in the choir and that I had to fill out the form and send it to them with $30.00. My parents and I talked about it for about a week then my parents said I could go. I filled out the form and sent it in with the thirty dollars. My first meeting of the Choir was in Oct. it was a S.O.S. social (which means a Start Of the Season social.) I have been to two practices and one performance. I'm having a lot of fun and even though I'm the youngest one in the choir (I'm twelve and the others are mostly between 15-20) I still know some of the girls from camp that are 14. I'm hoping to have a couple more practices and performances before it's over. And that is the choir story!!!

I hope you like what I wrote. I have a few more stories like that so maybe in a few days I'll write another one. Well I got to go for now, Amber

We finally gave away the kitten. I was kind of sad but pretty glad that we were finally able to find a home for her. The people who got her seemed nice and were glad to have a new kitten.

We had our bookclub today and our new book is a New England girls journal from 1830-1832. It looks like a good book. Our last book was Triss, a Redwall book, by Brian Jaques. It was a really good book and everybody liked it exept one girl who said that it didn't really hold her attention. If you haven't read any of the Redwall books you should.

Well I got to go. Amber

I can't believe we still have a kitten. We gave the other one to Candice two weeks ago. My mom said that if we don't find a home for it soon we'll have to take it to the shelter. I think we're going to have to put it in the paper. Even though I want to keep it. I keep asking my mom why we can't have two cats and she always says the same thing. "We can't have two cats unless we fix both of them so they won't be having babies and fighting with each other every time one of them goes into heat." So now I've just quit asking. 

We used to have two cats Kitty Kitty and Calie but they kept fighting with each other so my mom said we had to get rid of one of them. It was a hard decision but I finally said we could get rid of Calie. It was so much harder getting rid of Calie than a kitten because I had had her for two years and she had given us two litters of kittens but it was either her or the Mama of her(Kitty Kitty) and we had had Kitty Kitty for longer so it only seemed fair to get rid of Calie.

Well I got to go for now, Amber

I'm sorry I havn't been writing. I've been really busy.

 The kittens are getting really big. They turned Four weeks old today. I can't belive there already Four weeks old!!! They're staring to roam about the house.( That isn't a good thing.) :-)  We finally decided on a name for them. The boys name is Peter, and the girls name is Tiger Lilly. Peter is black and white, and Tiger Lilly is Black with brown and cream mixed in. Peter is very big and fat (as in a LOT of fur.) Tiger Lilly on the other hand is small and delicate. She's also not very pretty. We have to watch them a lot, or they'll get lost. They like playing in the living room because there's a lot of places to hide. A couple nights ago I went in my room to get ready for bed and I step on (what I thought was the but was the kitten.) Ever since then I have to be careful  not  to step on the kittens when I go in my room.(especially at night.)

Nathan turned 15 today. I don't know when we're having his party.

Well I got to go,Bye.

Today I got the kittens out to play with,and the mama cat got realy nervous. They're almost two weeks old, but they are really smart. I love babies!!! If my mom would let me I would have tons of cats. I have been  with the mama cat every time she has had babies. Callie on the other hand had her kittens right as we were leaving to go on vaction. We had to get rid of Callie a year ago. I miss her a lot. 

Well, I got to go  Bye!

Last time I forgot to tell you about my younger sister. Caitlin is 8 and loves horses, swimming, and going barefoot. We used to share a room until I moved. Since then she's been sleeping on the floor in my room half the night. She's outgrowing that though (thank goodness.) She has a pretty short temper, and likes screaming. Lauren and Chris have been married for a year and a half.Chris is about to turn 28 and is my Brother-in-law. Tomorrow is his birthday. Chris REALLY, REALLY  likes starwars and has bought every starwars figure he can. He can also cook really good. I like Chris and he likes us so we're just one big happy family. Well, I got to go Bye!!! : )

Hi! I live in MS. I have 4 brothers and sisters. There's Lauren who's about to turn 22 and is married and has a 2 year old little girl. David is 20, he doesn't live at home any more, and I have his old room. Nathan is 14 (almost 15), and loves plants and animals(like me!). I'm Amber and I'm 12, I love animals, piano,and crocheting. I don't go to school because I'm homeschooled. I like being homeschooled because I can do things that public schooled kids can't. Like sleep in until 8:30 or 9:00 a.m. I also don't have to put up with classmates.  I can just go in my room ,shut the door, and have peace and quiet.

We have a lot of pets, there's Prissy our dog, Kitty Kitty our cat, and Nathan has Tommy the parakeet. Nathan also has lots of fish. Our cat just had kittens about a week ago. There are two of them, one is black and white and He's a boy. The other one is black and brown and she's a girl. They're as cute as can be. I just Love cats and kittens.

Well, I've got to go Bye!!! :)
