Hello Everyone! :)

I had a Great Labor Day weekend!! :) On Sunday after church we went to a Rodeo! It was A LOT of fun! :) My Nana, Pawpaw, Aunt L, Uncle J, Aunt D, and 2 cousins went too! :) We celebrated my Aunt L's Birthday which was on the 27th of August and my PawPaw's Birthday which was the 5th by going to the Rodeo. :) We also ate Red Robin's before we went to the rodeo. :) It was the first time I had ever been and it was really good.

The rodeo was Awesome! There was bull riding, barrel racing, stear wrestling, calf roping, team calf roping, and a few other events.

After the rodeo I also got to ride a mechanical bull!!!!! It was really neat! :) Here are some pictures I took (and some of my dad's too) while we were at the rodeo:

This was at the beginning of the Rodeo while someone was singing the national anthem.

Here is the Three Bar J Rodeo Co. sign, I think the ones that hosted the Rodeo.

Here is 2 men doing the team calf roping.

Here is another picture of the team Calf roping.

Barrel Racing. (my favorite. :)

The Cowboys waiting.

Me and Hope at the rodeo.

Bull Riding!

It was also really sunny the day we were there.

When it was intermisson and we went to go get a cool drink I took this picture. I thought it looked neat. :)

Here is a picture I took of a Really pretty horse I saw! :)

Here are the cute calves.

After the rodeo I rode a mechanical bull! It was SO much fun!

Here's me riding the mechanical bull, with my family cheering me on. :)

Here's a video of my riding:

:) It was starting to get really bumpy. lol :)

The rodeo was actually in a fair in Ohio, so after the Rodeo we also looked around at the 4-H things, and animals. We also played a game called "The World's Tallest Pinball". Here is a picture of it:

What you had to do it put a ball in the circle opening, press the button, and watch it come down. If it goes down to the USA you could win any of the prizes, but if it went in a hole you could win a prize on the left. Mine got in a Hole, but I won a little purple monkey. :) It was fun too. :)

I had a Really great time!!! :) What did all of you do for Labor day?

I hope everyone has a Wonderful and Blessed Week! :)

Hello Everyone! I have seen many people do The Simple Women's Daybook, and I think it is Such a great idea! I want to start doing it too! :) I think I will be doing it every Thursday. :) So...here I go! :)

For Today…August 28, 2008

Outside my Window…Sunshine and our peach tree with little peaches on it, but looking rather sad. It is tilting in many ways.

I am thinking…I want to try to write one of my friends a letter, and that this is really fun! :)

I am thankful for…My freedoms living in the USA, also that I can worship God and pray to Him.

From the kitchen…nothing yet, I am sure something cooking soon.

I am wearing...A light blue T-shirt with tons of cute bright pictures of Snoopy and Woodstock, and light blue long jean shorts.

I am reading…My Bible, I am reading Deuteronomy but I am almost finished with it, then I will read Joshua. I am also reading Boston Jane: Wilderness which is VERY good! :)

I am hoping…to get to write that letter, and that the American Girl dolls I got from ebay come soon. (You can read about it Here)

I am creating...nothing at the moment.

I am hearing…The Tv but it is really faint, and also my 2 parakeets Shamrock and Daisy chirping in the room next to me.

Around the house…My mom and sister talking.

One of my favorite things…A Great book!!! :)

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...We are going to a rodeo on Sunday, after church in Ohio, to celebrate my Aunt L's birthday! Also, to get schoolwork done tomorrow. :)

I accomplished since last week…hmmm....Well, I accomplished getting my schoolwork done, and also cleaning the house for company. :)

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you…

A peach blossom from our peach tree. I can't wait until spring...my Favorite time of year! :)

I hope everyone has a Wonderful and Blessed day!!! :)

Hello Everyone! :)

My family and I had a Wonderful time having the people in the small group my mom and dad go to, over to our house yesterday! It was Really fun! We had a lot of yummy food and played games like: Adults VS. Kids volleyball, Hillbilly Golf (I will try to describe it someother time :), Corn Hole, and I played Frisbee with a few people too. :) It was a Great time of Fun, Friends, and Fellowship.:)

School has been going well too! We had a half day of school today (because we were tired from yesterday.) of Bible journal, Bible reading, World Geography, Science, and I read my book called "Boston Jane:An Adventure and I finished it today! I am starting the 2nd and last book tomorrow called Boston Jane: Wilderness. (There are only 2 books in the series.) It was such a Great book! It was by Jennifer L Holm. :)

God helped me do a Great thing this weekend! Well, yesterday during our youth sunday school we did a different thing than we normally do. We did worship, people were able to give testimonies of what God has been doing or what He did in their life, and people were invited to read verses of God's word. It was SO neat! :) I am a person who gets really nervous and doesn't really like to talk in front of many people, but God lead me to read a chapter of Psalms that I had read a couple weeks ago. So I stood up and read Psalms 100:

1 Shout for Joy to the LORD, all the earth.

2 Worship the LORD with gladness;

come before him with joyful songs.

3 Know that the LORD is God.

It is he who made us, and we are his;

we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving

and his courts with praise;

give thanks to him and praise his name.

5 For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;

his faithfulness continues through all generations.

It was SOOOOO cool!!! God is SO Good and Awesome! It definately wasn't me who stood up and said this. God did it, by giving me courage, strength, and the words to speak. It is SO neat how God can do things through you, that you thought or think that you would never be able to do. With God ALL things are possible! :)

I hope everyone has a Great Week!!! :) :) ;)

           Love,

Hello Everyone! :)

There is my Schedule! :) I didn't do Literature or spelling today, but I did everything else. :) I think it will be a Great Year! :)

I found this tag and I thought it would be really fun to answer since it deals with school and homeschooling. :)

The Homeschool Tag

- How long have you homeschooled? For 2 years going on 3 years.

-  What grade did you start homeschooling? I was in 7th grade.

-  What grade are you in now? 9th

-  How old were you when you started? 12

-  Do you like homeschooling? YES! I Love it! :):):):):):):):):):)

 
-  Have you ever gone to school? Yes.

-  How long did you go to school? From Kindergarden to 6 weeks of 7th grade.

-  Do you intend to home school your kids when you grow up? Yes I do! I think it will be a Wonderful experience to teach my children! :)

-  What are two things that you like about homeschooling? I Love having a Great teacher and a Great Principle (Mom and Dad) who always want what is best for me. :) I also Love reading my school books on my own pace and Really enjoying it! :)

-  Do you totally go against public schools? I am mostly against them now, since I have been to one. I think it is a horrible place to go and try to be a Christian. It is hard to not get sucked into what everyone else wants to do or is doing. I had a very hard time being in public school so I feel really bad for the ones that are in public school. (No offense to anyone though.)

-  Do you have friends who are not homeschoolers? Well, I do have a few friends at church that are not homeschoolers. I have Very many friends that are homeschooled too. :)

-  Is it hard to get along with public school friends? Sometimes my few public school friends at church think it is strange that I am homeschooled, but it isn't too hard. Though, my friends are Christians (Or say that they are.) so it isn't hard to be around them since we both have a love for God. If I had a non-christian public school friend it would be Very hard to be around them and get along with them.

-  What is the first thing other people say when they find out that you homeschool? When my mom tells adults that she homeschools my sister and I, many people say "Your Brave!" to my mom. I think that is kind of strange when people say that. Other people say "That's Great!", but you never know what people are thinking. I don't care though, I LOVE being homeschooled and I will NEVER go back to public school again! :)

-  Who are you going to tag? Anyone who wants to. :)

That was a Really great tag! :) I Really do LOVE being homeschooled!

I hope everyone has a Great day and week! :)
