We moved into a new house in April and its been really hard to find much time to blog. Actually its been hard finding to do a lot of things. On top of that the computers were down for the longest time and I am just now able to start using the computers for blogging. During the time I wasn't blogging though I had a great time with my new camera. Here's some pictures I took of the sky when I was in Long Beach at the Aquarium (I just became an adult volunteer so I have been spending a lot of time there).
This one I took early in the morning on the balcone of our new house.
This one I took in the evening in the backyard of the new place, the colour of the sky that night were just so beatifully combined and bright! I was so happy I was able to capture them!
I have a lot more that I took but these are just a few of my favorites. Another high light that occured recently, one of my little sisters, Vivian, turned 4 years old in March. She helped my make the cake. She wanted it pink with MnM's and mini coloured marshmallows so that's what we did and it actually turned out pretty well. She liked it so much that she's already talking her "five birthday". lol! She's always full of joy. Everyday is always "the best day EVER!" for her. :)
Lorenzo's birthday is coming up in July, he'll be 2 years old. I think we're probably going to do for him what we did for his first birthday when it comes to the cake. He's still at the point where I'll be able to just make a small individual cake for him to smoosh! Little Renzo has been adding a good amount of noise to the house hold lately. He's extremely cute but a lot of work. I love taking pictures of him though, this is the face he makes when you telll him to say cheese!!
Don't want to leave the rest of the kids out of my update so I'll put a pick in here of them too. Their all doing well and having fun now that summer is here. They have been to start going on regular beach trips but oddly enough summer weather hasn't started here yet. Usually by this time of the year in Los Angeles its humid and WAY too hot, but currently its been foggy with occasional rain as well. (My favorite kind of weather!! I wish it could stay like this all year round- but not the kind of weather the others want for the beach).
Carmen (who turned 9 in Feb)
My little bro Gino (11)
(I don't have any recent pics of my other little bro. But he's not little any more though, he's only thirteen and he's 6' 2" with a size 15 shoe!)
That's about it. Just wanted to get back on here and say hi to all my blogger friends and post some pics. Hey by the way I just got an account on facebook so if any of my you guys are on there, tell me and I look you up and add you to my friends list!
Hi everyone,
I am trying very hard to find a way to post some new pictures from my laptop
becuase the computer I usually post them from the computer just crashed.
So I haven't forgotten about my blog. Just having a hard time getting to it-
Hope all you other bloggers are doing well!
Hi! I have more pictures! Christmas went well, no dramatic accidents of any sort. Phew! Which is good. We had lots of family over and all went well.
So here's some pictures of Christmas Eve at the Zarcone house.
Carmen with new boots
Mom and new book
Carlo...
Gino- very happy about his presents
Grandpa and new guitar
A couple days after Christmas my Aunt Marta and my Uncle Ricardo and my little cousin Andres came over. Here's him and Vivian!
Aunt Marta
Grandpa and Renzo, best friends forever!
I wish I would have taken pictures of all the family that we had over and Christmas
day but my mom's camera ran out of battery. :(
But I just wanted to give a bit of an update on the family.
Merry (late) Christmas to everybody!
I know its been a really long time sense I last posted anything but Thanksgiving didn't go very well. My littlest baby brother (16 months old), Lorenzo pulled down a bowl of hot gravy on himself and ended up with second degree burns on his arms in the hospital.
Thankfully he's home now though, :) and his burns are healing amazingly well though, and he's happy and running again. Its just been too crazy to sit down and find a moment to blog.
I'm at a loss of what to write about, but I just wanted to make sure that a year didn't go by before I wrote again.
Our entire house is getting redone for the next week or so. Everyday there have been people coming into the house to paint the walls or put down new tile floors. Next week we have to completely move out of each bedroom so that we can have new carpet put down. So we have tried to stay out of the way of all the construction with a couple field trips.
The first one on Monday was a trip to the LA zoo. I got some great pics of the animals.
This guy was the biggest giraffe at the zoo, every time I'm there he comes right up to the fence.
So close that if he came just a couple inches forward you could touch him! This is my mom' favorite
picture that I've taken so far.
This is called a Gerenuk. When they finally stop chewing their food you can see it go down their
long throats and sometimes if they fell like chewing it again you can see the lump of food come back up. Cool huh? The new gorilla exhibit at the zoo is finished now and they have a huge silver back! While we were watching it came right up the glass where you see my mom and my brother Carlo sitting. Carlo made the mistake of going right up to the glass and looking it straight in the eyes. I wish I would have got a video of that! We got to see some real silver back behavior. It tried to punch him through the glass after roaring and beating his chest!! Scary... It really made me grateful that there was glass in between us.
And here's little Vivian. She was so excited to go to the zoo. She associates all the animals in the zoo with the ones from the cartoon movie "Madagascar" (her favorite movie). It made her very happy to see "Melman" (the giraffe), "Marty" (the Zebra), and "Gloria" (the hippo).
(If you can't tell what that is from the pic. Its a sea lion). Watching the sea lions made me miss my aquarium buddies in Long Beach.
There was only one meerkat (sp?) out that day.
Renzo reaction to animals.
Our next outing was a trip to Disney Land with out friends. Unfortunately I took a lot of pictures in the parking lot, at the entrance, and on main street. But after that I forgot I had a camera with me for almost the rest of the day. oops. Moms not happy.
Here a few of the ones that I did take.
Gino
Carmen and her friend
Renzo with friend's hat
I loved the Holoween decorations that were at the front gate!
Lorenzo had a much better reaction to Micky Mouse than I thought he would.

Anyone who reads my tag is TAGGED! HA! Tricked you ALL!
I am so excited!!! Last week I just got a phone call that said that I have been excepted by the aquarium of the Pacific to be a VolunTEEN! As a VolunTEEN I will be teaching the guests that come to the aquarium about the exhibits. I will also be showing them how to handle and interact with animals like sharks, mante rays, sea anemone, etc. while they are in the "touch pools".
Tomorrow will be my first day of training (I have to go for three training classes before I start working). Tomorrow will also most likely be the day that i receive my uniform and my name tag! I will take a picture of myself in my uniform and post the next time I write. Myself and the other volunteens are going to each have a journal that we write about our everyday experiences at the aquarium in. At the end of our eight weeks (the whole summer) we each have to use our journal entries to create a poster board about what we learned, what did, and how we benefited from the whole program.
I am working towards my doctorate degree as a Marine Biologist and that is why I wanted to be a volunteen at the aquarium. I know it will be an awesome learning experience and a wonderful chance to spend time with marine animals! I am going to take as many pictures as I can while I am at the aquarium tomorrow and post them as soon as possible!!
Also, my mom's birthday is on Sunday! Happy BIRTHDAY MOM!
On Wednesday of the week I went to go see the latest kids movie with my family. A lot of people that I have heard opinions from really didn't like the movie and seem to start giving it a bad reputation over a comment about home schooling. Although I don't think that the comment was meant to offend home schoolers. So I wanted to make sure that I gave it a good report in my book. The movie is based on one of Dr. Sues' books called Horton Hears a Who, that has tons of great messages in it. It is about Horton (played by Jim Carry) the elephant taking a bath in his jungle pond. He begins to teach his class of animal children when he sees a tiny speck float past his face. Not only that but the little speck makes a tiny scream! Horton quickly catches the speck on a flower in order to protect whatever little being lives on it. Little does he know that there is an entire other world called Whoville on the speck.
In Whoville no one suspects that they are no bigger than a flower and that the earthquakes and odd weather changes that they experience are the result of being carried by a "giant elephant", except for the mayor. The mayor (played by Steve Carrel) of Whoville (who has 96 daughters and 1 son) makes contact with Horton and is terrified that he and his fellow citizens could be destroyed any moment. He tried to warn all the other Whos but no one will believe him.
Up in Horton's jungle the other animals are completely disturbed and think he is crazy for talking and caring for this speck. Especially the Queen Kangaroo (played by Carol Burnett) who threatens to banish him if he doesn't stop his foolishness and throw away the flower! But the "elephant is faithful 100%" and wont give up his quest to find a safe place to put the speck where it wont encounter any danger.
As for the comment about home schooling it was made by the Queen Kangaroo. She thinks of herself as the leader of all the animals and is extremely controlling. She says that she doesn't want her little joey to be receive bad influence from the other children and that is why she "pouch schools" him. Even though it might have seemed that the movie industry was making fun of home schooling- in the end the little joey became a very strong leader who did the right thing when no one else would. And that's what home schoolers want to be right?
I wont ruin the ending for you, just in case you want to see it for yourself. But some of the morals in the movie were: "A Persons a Person no matter how small" (in order to support pro-life instead of abortion), everyone counts and can make a difference, and even if you can't hear, see, or feel something that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist...(and many more). This movie is a great family that is very funny and entertaining! I think everyone would enjoy seeing it!
My little sister Carmen just turned 8 on Thursday! So I made her another one of my homemade three layer cakes. This year I made her a cake with a Little Mermaid theme. I wanted to take a pic of it before my brothers and sisters started eating it but I couldn't find my camera. The reason I wanted to get a picture of it was to post it on my blog. So since I couldn't find it I just gave up and said "Go ahead eat up." As you might guess, the next morning after the b-day party my mom says "I found the camera!"....,sigh.... I hate Murphy's law.... WHY DO THESE THINGS HAPPEN! ARGH! Anyway, I took a pic of it on my phone and my dad said that he will try his best to figure out a way to get the it from my phone to the computer. So whenever that is accomplished I will post a picture of it. But if for some reason I can't post it I will just have to wait until (my little sister) Vivian turns three in March to show you my next cake. The theme of her's is going to be fairies in a patch of grass. Her choice. LOL! She loves stuff like that! So Happy Birthday to Carmen and Happy February 23rd to the rest of you.
I admit that I am most certainly the biggest percrastinator on the homeschoolblogger.com, but at least I post once a decade right? Anyway, yes my blog is still under construction, I just haven't decided the theme and with all the classes I have been taking in addition to my home school stuff my schedule has been packed! Not only that but now instead of just one baby in the house there are THREE! My little brother Lorenzo and......*drum roll*...... our two new puppies! Phoebe (my puppy) and Zoey (my sister's)!!! They are both two month old border collie sisters! Phoebe is big fat and not very active (the perfect kind of dog for me) and Zoey is thin and way more hyper than her sister (the perfect dog for Carmen). All of us have a lot of work to be done- but personally I am loving it!
Hey everyone. Before I start writing my entry I want to point out the reason for something if you have noticed it on my blog. Sometimes the entries that I wrote a while back wih pictures in them are deleted after a few months and that is because for some reason there is a limit on the control panel of my blog that wont let me upload more than a few pics. So if I want to post another entry with pictures I have to delete the last one first. Anyway, Christmas time is finally here! One of my favorite times of the year! Recently I have been taking a lot of classes at a college near my grandma's house (and have beenbusy with homework and such) and little Lorenzo is almost five months old (and needs LOTS of attention!!). So with the combination of the two I really haven't had time to start having fun with the "christmasy" things that I love doing in December. But soon my classes will be over and Christmas brake is coming soon and that means that I can begin decorating, cooking, baking, putting up the tree, going to see Bob Baker's Marianets, Glory of Christmas, and making crafts with my siblings. And in my next entry I post Christmas pics of all of our activities. So how do bloggers like the new theme of my blog. Groovy....no? :) te he.... By the by I came upon a recipe that sounds awesome for the holidays! In fact I am baking it right now in the oven as I type! I am a huge fan of biscottis, I love baking them, (and no I will not accept the mispronounciation of the word: "Biscaaaty"! It is prounounced "Bi-sco-ty") and this recipe makes me salivate just by reading the title. Have a fun Christmas! (Ps. I didn't write this recipe).
Triple Chocolate Chip Biscottis
INGREDIENTS:
5 cups flour
1 1/2 cups cocoa powder
2 tbs baking powder
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
6 eggs
1 tbs vanilla extract
2 cups chocolate chips
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 400F. Cream sugar and butter. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until smooth and add vanilla extract. Sift together the dry ingredients and add to the egg mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Shape the dough into 6 longs loaves and brush with beaten egg yolk. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Cut each loaf into 1 inch slices and place back on baking sheet. Reduce heat to 350F and place slices back into the oven. Bake for another 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and cool. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate, and drizzle over the biscotti.
Lately my brother (gino) has been getting into skateboarding and a few days ago he got a new idea from one his skater dude friends, he calls it: Bunjy Boarding! He takes a skate board with out the wheels and does this:
Pretty origanal no? As a site note: Little new baby Lorenzo is doing fine and Vivian (the 2 year old) who used to be "the baby" is not reacting in jealousy over attention as I thought she would but is apsolutely loving having another baby in the house and continually asks "Angie, do you need some help wit da baby?" and always begs to hold him at every opportunity. Here they are:
And here is a picture of Lorenzo during "tummy time" on the carpet- learn how to scoot around and role over.
My grandpa Jim made up a nickname that everyone on my mom's side of the family calls him " Lo Ro". Sense his full name is Lorenzo Rosario ______. Of course I myself always prefer the nickname that my dad insists is a girl name but I love calling him because of all the stories that I have read where people with the name Lorence have this perticular nickname: Lori. So far out of all of the babies that I have taken care of in this famiy, Vivi and Lori are deffinately the most good natured. (For vivian her personality really does go with her name which means "full of joy"). I'll write again soon.
My sincer apologies for not posting as soon as I usually do. I really did mean to over the last several days but have been through a few tramatic events that have made my schedule a little ascew (sp?). About a week ago, there was a humongous truck pile up on the 5 freeway which I live right by. So that made it impossible to go and do a lot of things that needed to be done- such as going to my college classes that we have to take the freeway to get to. If that wasn't enough to make traffic worse now we have the fires going on in almost all the major locations in Southern California. There are 15 of them that I know of at the moment and a lot of them are REALLY close to my house! But not close enough that we have had to evacuate. A lot of my friends have though, and the sky is filled with smoke! It's not as bad as yesterday but it's almost hard to breath when I go outside. If I find out anything else important I'll post another entry.
Okay... I guess that didn't go well. Yes, as you might have read about in my last entry, I did try to switch to blogspot as my homepage (so to speak). But it didn't work out at all! I still have it up and running if any of you guys want to check it out but I found that blogspot just is not as.. hmm... how should I put it?... fun and social as homeschoolblogger. When I posted there was never any comments- either becuase nobody read my entries or because someone wanted post a comment but couldn't becuase it requires gmail account to do so. So I have officially started writing entries here again, and it's good to be back. I'll be happily starting up on my super commenter possition again!
Sorry guys, I haven't really had anything important to blog about lately, and I don't like blogging when there isn't anything good to write. Yes I could have blogged about the poll results, but sadly there was only like one MAYBE two people that wrote their vote in there comments. So there goes that idea out the window. LOL! So here is my announcement: I have been getting some what frusterated with the homeschoolblogger settings and control panel that I have to deal with everytime I want to change the template or write an entry. I wont be posting anymore on this blog, but I will posting more on my new site that I have created on www.blogspot.com and I programed it so that all you homschoolblogger friends of mine can comment on it.
Please come and comment, I don't want to lose contact with all you guys on my friends list. That would be sad. Maybe you can even make your own blogspot! But regardless I promise that I will still come and comment on your sites, cause a lot of you guys have some really cool blogs.

No I didn't fall of the face of the blogesphere!
Hi everyone. Yes, I am still here on homeschoolblogger! I didn't Fall off the face of the blogesphere (I like that word). I have had some technical difficulties with my blog for a while, my mom said that she wanted me to block everyone except for logged in homeschoolblogger members from seeing my site, and some how when I did that, I accidently blocked myself from viewing my own site (don't ask me how I did that-becuase I haven't the slightest idea), and that's why I might not have been able to return all of your comments. I couldn't see any of your comments. LOL!
But during that time I was gone, I had lots of time to think of what to post and I....still couldn't figure out anything to post, right now I am writting and thinking at the same time. Okay, I have it. I want you guys to take a poll. (Inquizitive (sp?) minds in my family wanted to know this) If you guys comment (which I really hope you do, I like comments) Answer me this question and in two week time I will post an entry showing the results.
How do you spend the summer?
Choices:
1. We do school all summer, just like the school year
2. I go to summer camp
3. We take the whole summer off
4. We have a combination of on and off weeks of school throughout the summer
A lot of things have been going on sinse the last time I posted. First of all about my eye, the doctor said that I was having an allergic reaction from something that fell in my eye and it's not swollen anymore. But Saturday my family and I had a really great time. We went to the BUG FAIR! It was so much fun!! At the muesuem that it is held at there are tons of things to do. The first thing we did was go over to the section where all the bug sellers had their booths set up. Gino (my bro), my Mom, and I are bug collectors and every a couple years ago we buy (dead) bug specimens to put in our collections. The first time we went to the bug fair my mom assigned all of us a Country to look for bugs from and I was assigned South America. So I collected butterflies and moths from places in South America. But this year we didn't want to have to bring all the boxes of collections with us so I brought mine and mom used it to put some of the bugs that she bought in it. This year my mom collected a hug moth from Arizona and a huge Rhinoceros Beetle! I would love to show you some pictures but this darn conotrol panel wont let me download anymore pics so....sorry. But anway, another thing that has happened sinse my last entry is this. Gino now has a problem with his fingers. Don't ask me why everyone is having so many health problems but that's life for you. So as I was saying, this morning he woke up and he showed mom that his fingers were purple and blue. As if they were bruised or something, but Gino (www.homeschoolblogger.com/ginoblog) says that he doesn't feel any difference or pain in his fingers at all. My mom thinks that the problem might be that blood is having a hard time cirulating to his fingers. So today we are going to the doctors AGAIN! (Sorry again for not being able to post any pictures).
To make up for the lake of pictures and interesting things in this entry here is a funw website that you guys can surf around on, you guys might already know about it but I just found it last month and I thought it was pretty fun for when your desperately bored: http://kids.yahoo.com/
Okay, if you haven't noticed, I put this thing on the side of my blog to count how many people visite my website and so far it has count 93 people!!! And do you know how many people out of that 93 actually noticed that there was in fact a comment button??? 4!!! 4 PEOPLE! That is sad!! WAS IT SOMETHING I SAID THAT MAKES YOU PEOPLE NOT WANT TO COMMENT??? WHERE DID I GO WRONG??! Well, maybe now that you people relize that I know that you are being counted as a NONcommenter! you might think about commenting. Am I right? I said a I RIGHT? Here I'll make you a deal. I will comment on your site for however many times you comment on my site. Deal?? Anyway, on to something interesting:
This morning I woke uo with my eye completely swollen and red, and as you read this I can bearly open my left eye. My mom said that I have what is called "Conjunctivitous" (sp?) or otherwise known as "Pink Eye"!! Really I must say though, it's a much more onnoying sickness than anything. My eye feels like a five pund weight, is watering, and I can't do anything about it! I'm not supposed to rub it or touch it at all! I would show you a picture but I on't have one on hand right now and I have to get ready to go to the doctors where he is going to put drops in my eyes. But to give you a picture of how I look here's a quote from my brother Carlo and what he said about me this morning "OH MY GOSH! YOU LOOK LIKE THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME!" LOL! ROTFLOLSTC!
Hey Peoples! How do you guys like the new template?? It is sort of weird with the comment situation though, I must admit. In case you guys can't figure out how to leave me a comment now here is how: First you have to push the thing that says how many comments I have so far and it will look something like this at the top of my entry " 2 Comments" (or however many comments I have at the time). Click on that and then there will be a place that says "Add comment" that you can push. Here is a new Tag that I have made up and even though a lot of you bloggers are very annoyed (or so I have heard) by tags you will have to read the tag to see if you are tagged or not. Here it is:
(1.) What is your middle name?
(2.) Do you like you first name? if you could change your name what would change it to?
(3.) What is your pets name? (If you don't have one) What would you name a pet if you had one?
(4.) What are your favorite books in the world?
(5.) What is your dream house?
(6.) Do you enjoy being the age that you are? (If not) What age would you preffer to be if you could go forward in time right now?
(7.) Do you have any siblings? (if so) Do you enjoy having siblings? How many kids do you want when you grow up?
(8.) Do you enjoy to cook? (If so) What is your favorite thing to cook?
(9.) What girl names do you like?
(10.) What boy names do you like?
(11.) What is your favorite colour? Give three adjectives "Why?".
(12.) Who are the bloggers that you are going to tag next?
Okay that was it! Now here are the people I am going to tag:
I am 15 and I love reading, writing, listening to music, Tap dancing, and playing bass guitar!!! I am working on becoming a musician and a marine biologist.
The new gorilla exhibit at the zoo is finished now and they have a huge silver back! While we were watching it came right up the glass where you see my mom and my brother Carlo sitting. Carlo made the mistake of going right up to the glass and looking it straight in the eyes. I wish I would have got a video of that! We got to see some real silver back behavior. It tried to punch him through the glass after roaring and beating his chest!! Scary... It really made me grateful that there was glass in between us.
Moms not happy.
