~Awards~
Well, it has been a very fun few weeks for me! I have gotten to ride my new 4-H horse several times for the past few weeks. My new 4-H horse is a gelding named Little Guy. He is around 15 hands, he is 10, and he is a Tennessee Walker. He was born on my family’s farm (his mother is my mom’s horse) and he has mainly been a trail horse. He hasn’t had a lot of training and since I want to show him in our county fair this year my dad and I are working on training him. It is going to take a
The weather has been so beautiful lately. It has not rained in 2 days! YEAHHHHHH, lets party, lol! I have been able to get a lot of things outside done! I hope it stays sunny for at least 2 weeks! Lol!
Yesterday I had a doctor’s appointment. I switched doctors’ offices so yesterday was my first visit to my new doctor. The doctor’s appointment was about my allergies. I have always had allergies and I needed to see if I had to get new medication for my allergies and a little more about how to help my allergies from getting the best of me. My new doctor is really nice and very helpful! The doctor agreed with my mom about scheduling an allergy test. So in a few weeks I will be going to this one doctor that has this long name that specializes in allergies and allergy testing.
Ok, I have a few awards to give away. I found these awards on photobucket and I thought they were really cute and I have been wanting to give away some awards!

Weather(spring or winter?)
Hello Everyone,
I am so sorry it has taken me so long to write a REAL post. I have been really busy lately. I know I use that excuse every post and it is getting old, I will try to think of a better excuse next time, lol.
Let’s see I don’t know where to begin about what I have been doing for the last several weeks.
Where I live the weather has been showing NO sign of spring. It snowed a few days ago and we have had only 2 days of sunshine in the month of April and 2 days of sunshine in the month of March. I think it is ridiculous, it is supposed to be SPRING I think this is what spring is supposed to be, sunny 70 degree weather, flowers blooming, you should be able to wear shorts, tank tops, and flip-flops. But instead the version of spring where I live has been this: Cold 30-40 degree weather snow and rain are included in that, we have to go to the grocery store to be able to see “spring flowers”, and I am STILL wearing long sleeved shirts, jeans, warm wool socks, and boots. I am so ready for a WARM day here, usually in
Yesterday it was around 50 degrees; it was so nice to have a break from the 30 degree weather. It hadn’t been raining or snowing yet that day. A lady that I have been riding my horse with lately called and asked if my dad and I would like to go horse back riding. I, of course said yes. And I had a fabulous time. Vixson (my horse) did an awesome job. It was the first time she had been ridden since October and she did very well. I was really surprised. She is 27 years old, so I thought she would be a stiff and not want to do a lot of things. But she surprised me and she was not that stiff and she even wanted to jump this one log that was crossing the trail, and she did. She is my favorite horse ever. She is a good old girl. And after we got back from riding it rained.
Tomorrow is swimming lessons! And after swimming lessons one of my friends and her mom and brother are coming over. Her mom is really great with horses and she will be giving our horses there vaccinations (shots that help them from getting deadly diseases) this year. She is a really nice lady and her daughter and son are really nice as well!
Well I need to go do some commenting now!
God Bless,
~Makayla~

Pen-pals
Hi everyone,
Jocelyn Dixon posted about this on her blog and I thought this sounded so fun, so I decided to post about it on my blog. This is for girls only(sorry to all those guys out there). The sight is called Kindred Hearts and they have a spot where you can sign up to become someones pen-pal ( I have signed up). Here is some information just in case you would like to sign up and become a pen-pal. And here is the link........Kindred Hearts now please go sign up!!!!!
Pour yourself a cup of tea, find some pretty paper and open your favorite pen. Your new friend is waiting to hear the latest happenings and be encouraged.
Your lovely letter is received with excitement as your friend opens it to hear from you! Perhaps you enclosed a lovely bookmark, scented-pressed flowers, a photograph, or just a hello hug. Taking the time for old fashioned correspondence is almost non-existent with the communication possibilities available today. Many people find little reason to sit down with a pretty piece of stationary to carefully pen a nice letter. So few know the joyous anticipation of this lovely gift!
Each issue of Seasons at Home will now be encouraging our interested readers to sign up for Kindred Hearts. Our goal is to bring together those women who long for pen and paper fellowship! As many of us spend most of our time in our homes with our children and daily duties, a letter or card from a distant friend can be such a joy.
If you would like to find "like-minded" women who love the Lord and long to share encouragement and blessings, then join us as we write the good old fashioned way using our postal service! We would like to dedicate this column to those who are looking to share prayers, encouraging words, letters, cards, and friendship with others across the miles.
Girls ages 13-18 may sign up for our Young Kindred Heart pen pal program!
I think this is great and I hope a lot of people sign up!!!!

Sorry it has been so long!
I am so sorry it has taken FOREVER to write a new entry, this week has been really chaotic.
On Tuesday my mom had to go to a hotel and attend some meetings that were for her work. She said that my best friend Sierra and I could come with her and swim in the pool and watch tv while she was in the meetings. While my mom was in her meetings we went swimming in the pool , watched tv, and drank coffee
. Thankfully we were on spring break so we didn't have to do any school
, which was awesome! We spent the night at the hotel and the next day we went back to my house. I had a small b-day party that evening and most of my friends and family got to come. I had a great time! Oh, I almost forgot THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO COMMENTED ME ON THE LAST POST. THAT IS THE MOST COMMENTS I HAVE EVER HAD ON MY BLOG! THANK YOU EVERYONE, YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!
One of the classes I go to in co-op was having a field trip on Friday. The class that I am taking is all about Washington history. We were studying about Lewis and Clark, and different Forts. There is a fort near where I live. The fort is called Fort Vancouver, it was used as a trading post in the 1800s. It is a really cool place to visit. They have old cannons that you can look at, they have a blacksmiths shop, you got to see them make horse shoes and other things, they had a jail, and a bakers shop. In the 1800s beaver fur was like gold to us now. Beaver fur was worth a lot of money in England. It sold between 50-70 pounds. That was a LOT of money considering that the men that caught the beaver were only paid 25 pounds per year. There were a lot of other cool facts as well! If any of you are planning on visiting Washington I would defiantly recommend you to visit Fort Vancouver!
Today is going to be another busy day. My mom's best friend's grandma died a few days ago. They are having the funeral this afternoon. It would be great if everyone could pray for my mom's best friend's family. It is really hard on them.

~My Birthday~
Hello everyone,
I have sooooooooooooooo much to write about, I don't know where to start. Well........, last Friday I babysat this little boy that lives near my family and I. He is four years old and his name is Noah, he is such a great kid. He listens VERY well!!!! He listens WAY better then the dogs his parents have.lol The dogs they have are blue healers, and they are really hyper, and they LOVE to chew on things, fight with each other, and lick you to death
. It gets really frustrating sometimes.
While Noah was watching one of his favorite shows on their tv, I vacuumed and cleaned up the kitchen and made things look nice for his parents. While I was vacuuming I took of my shoes and sat them by the chair, when I was finished I forgot all about My shoes and I started to clean the kitchen. And then I noticed that the dogs were quiet, I went over where the dogs were and I noticed that they were chewing on one of my shoes. They had managed to rip out the entire sole, and there were teeth marks threw out the whole shoe. The bummer was that they were practicly new shoes, and they were expensive as well. I never told the parents, because they told me not to leave anything where the dogs could get a hold of it. I forgot all about what they said, so it was partially my fault. I guess I'll know better next time. They gave me a good amount of money for babysitting, so I will just have to go to the store and buy a new pair of shoes, problem is solved.
I can't wait, my birthday is in eight days!!!!! I will be turning 13! My birthday is on a Wednesday, and some of my friends wouldn't be able to come on a weekday, I am planing to have my party on the weekend!
My dad is excellent when it comes to making different things out of wood. He knows all about the different types of wood and he knows how to build a lit of different things. He made my brothers a beautiful dresser! For the past year I wanted my dad to make me a bed. The bed that I had was a twin size, it was really low to the ground, and it wasn't that sturdy either. I was totally ready for a new bed. I asked my dad if he could make me a new one. It took him awhile, but he finally said yes, I picked out the pattern that I liked. And he made it out of scratch for me. It is a queen size, it is made out of Black Walnut, it is 14 inches from the ground, and I LOVE it! (Dad if u happen to read this post thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.) That is my birthday present from my dad and mom!
Tonight will be the first night I will get to sleep in my new bed, my dad ended up giving me my present a little bit early.
Thank you everyone for the comments that you left me on my last post! I am going to try to post more regularly!!!!! lol
God Bless,
~Makayla~

I hate being sick
Sorry it has taken me FOREVER to post! I have had a bad cold. I have been so tired and I have at least went through several boxes of Kleenexes, and my nose is still running
. This morning I am feeling a little better!!!!!!
Last Saturday my mom, my brother Matthew, and my friend Sierra went to a birthday party for my mom's friend. Her husband planned a surprise birthday party for her! He did a GREAT job, there was at least 100 people there! I had a blast! After the party my friend Sierra spent the night at my house and we watched several movies! The movies were pretty good, my favorite one that we watched was Go To Mars. It is a really funny movie, it was made in like the 1950s ( I think), it is Black and White. It is an awesome movie!!!!
How was everyone's Easter??? Mine was great! Sierra got to stay for Easter! My mom made ham, potatoes, rolls, and for desert she made flan. Flan is an awesome desert, it has caramel on the top, and it is like a pudding! It is really delicious.
Last night my mom, my brothers, and me watched the Bee Movie. I thought it was an ok movie. It was kind of stupid though. It had a couple funny parts. It wasn't my favorite movie. My mom rented that one and a few other movies. She also rented Enchanted, I can't wait to see that! Are there any other movies that y'all would recommend me to see? Let me know!

Hello! (Sorry, couldn't think of a better title)
Hello everyone,
Sorry it has been awhile since I have posted. I have been extremely busy with my school, and my homework that I have to due for Monday School.
On the 15 of March my brother Luke turned 4. He was so excited! He loves Power Rangers, so his theme for his birthday was Power Rangers. He has watched so many Power Ranger movies that I can't stand watching another one. Anyway, back to the birthday party, he had mostly family come for his birthday. We had cake, ice cream, and pizza. He got a lot of interesting gifts as well!
Yesterday was Monday school, we had a St.Patrick's Day potluck at Monday school. People brought desert and the cooking class made Chili and potatoes for us! It was pretty good! I hope y'all had a great St. Patrick's Day!
My friend gave these funny stories to her about incidents where people weren't using there brain. Here are a few of them!
One
Recently when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu you could have an order of 6,9, or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. "We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager at the counter. "You don't?" I replied. "We only have six,nine, or twelve," was the reply. "So I can't order half of a dozen nuggets, but I can order six?" "That's right." So I shook my head and ordered sick nuggets.
Two
I was checking out at a local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those "dividers" that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed up. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the "divider", looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code she said to me, " Do you know how much this is?" I said to her "I've changed my mind; I don't think I'll buy that today." She said "OK," and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue what had just happened.
Three
A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid was eating ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and it should be fine. The mother says:I just gave him some ant killer..........? Dispatcher: Rush him into the emergency room!
Ok that is it! Man, some of those are like oh my goodness i can't believe you did that. I hope you enjoyed this post!

~Chiropractor~
Hey everyone
This morning when I woke up my neck was really hurting and I couldn't move it to the side, it hurt really bad. My mom made an appointment with the chiropractor and thankfully they could get me in. To make the long story short, my spine was out of place, my legs were a quarter of an inch off, and several bones in my neck were out of place. He adjusted everything, so now it is all back into place. I am still a little sore, but he said that tomorrow I should be feeling a LOT better.
Oh, tomorrow I am starting swimming lessons again. I take swimming lessons in the spring and summer! I LOVE to swim! I am in the advance level so this year the teacher will probably review everything we know and make it better! There are about 6-10 kids in the advance class!
After swimming my mom and my brothers might go to the theater to see the movie Horton Hears a Who. We might be going with our cousins! I hope we can go! I haven't been to the movie theater in soooooooooooo long!
Does everyone like my new template! I actually made it, so if anyone would like a template let me know! Just send me a private message, I need to know 2-4 colors you would like and a theme!
I also got a Voice comment box ( It is on my sidebar), I would love it if you'll could leave me a voice comment on there!

On March 8, Amanda (Gratitude) is turning 15! So it would be great if everyone would stop by her blog and wish her a Happy Birthday!
Sorry it has taken me so long to write another post, everything has been so chaotic lately. Yesterday my mom went to do some work in town, and my brothers and I went to my aunt's house for the day! I had a good time! She is an awesome aunt, and I always enjoy going to her house!
On my last post someone left me a comment asking what my favorite movies are. I like so many movies that it is hard to choose from. I will name 5 of my favorite movies. 1-Pirates of the Caribbean 1,2,and 3, 2- Pride and Prejudice, 3- The Love Comes Softly Series, 4-I like several James Bond Movies, 5-Saving Sarah Cain. Those are all really good movies!

On my last post I only got one comment, and the person asked me what my favorite Cd was. I have many, so I will limit it down to telling you my five favorite albums. I like Jump 5's first album, Taylor Swift's album, Rihanna's first album, Carrie Underwood's 2nd album, and Brad Paisley's new album that just came out. If you have any questions about what kind of things I like or enjoy doing, just let me know. For example my favorite color, movie, my favorite thing to do, and stuff like that. Just send me a message or leave me a comment!
Last weekend my friend Sierra came over to my house. I had a pretty good time! We played American Idol on my family's wii! It is really fun! And we watched the movie Saving Sarah Cain! It is an awesome movie!

Another prayer request
I have another prayer request! A lady that we know was just diagnosed with bone cancer. It has spread all through her body, and only a miracle could save her. She has a 12 year old daughter, a 10 year old son, and a husband. It would be great if you could pray for her and her family.
Yesterday I watched the movie Becoming Jane. I thought it was really good! I have always liked watching movies that were dated back to the 1700 or 1800 hundreds. I Love the dresses! Becoming Jane is PG, and I recommend it to anyone.
I can't think of anything else to write about. If there is anything that any of you want me to post about. Like any questions about myself, movies, cds, anything. Just send me a message!
Have a great day!

Pray for the people that are sick.
I am going to start this post by asking if everyone could please pray for some people that I know that are really sick. The flu and several other illnesses have been going around in the area where I live. Six people have already died from it this year. It is becoming a big issue, and It would be great if all of you would pray.
Last weekend I went to my friend Sierra's house. I had a good time, we mainly lounged around and watched tv and stuff like that. We weren't feeling that well! But I am feeling a lot better today.
Today was Monday School ( co-op). Monday school is a co-op that my brothers and I are doing. The co-op is when we take different classes, and learn different things kind of like public school, except for it is only on Mondays. The classes I am taking are Writing the Novel Way(It is about learning how to write your own novel/book), Vocabulary, and Washington St. History. I have quite a bit of homework to do, especially for Vocabulary.
About a week ago I finally got an ipod. I bought half of it with my own money and my mom bought the other half. I got a black ipod classic. It is 80 GB, and can store up to 20,000 songs.
Tomorrow My brother and I are going to go to the dentist to get our teeth cleaned! I really like the dentist we go to. Everyone is so nice!
I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Beautiful Day
The weather has been so beautiful today. It has been sunny ALL day. The temperature has been around 60 degrees which is like totally warm, considering the temperature that we were having. I took advantage of the beautiful weather, and groomed my horse Vixson and my mom's horse Star. They look very nice now! I also took a walk and got some fresh air, I can tell spring is defiantly in the air!!!!
Tonight was awana's. I had a very fun time! We played several games of basketball, and for bible study time we read about prophecies.
I want to say thank you to ShootingStar for giving me my 100th comment!!!!!! And thank you to everyone that has given me comments!!!!!

Very Good Book
Sorry it has taken me FOREVER to write a new post! I have been extremel busy.
Monday school has been going great. I really like the writing the novel way class. I have started writing a story about a girl living in Egypt in the 1500s, she is the pharaohs daughter. I am having a great time writing it!
As you can notice I changed my template. I didn't make this one, I got it from www.betruemeg.com. There are a lot of neat templates there, so if you are looking for a new template, I highly recommend going there. I do have a few questions for all of you html experts out there. Do any of you know how to center a picture on a template. Because whenever I try to put a picture on a template, it always starts on the left side of the page, it never is center.
Tomorrow my family and I are going to Awana's. My parents teach a group in awana's. I am in the Jr. High Group, It is pretty fun!
I just read an awesome book about the suffrgette. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is when the women pleaded with the president to let them vote. It was a very sad book, most of the women were imprisioned because of picketing( picketing is when you stand on sidewalks and hold signs saying different things). The prisions which they were sent to had a horrible enviroment. They had worms in all the food, and many people got very sick. The picketing started in 1917 and the president finally agreed in 1920 to let woman vote. It was a great book. The book is called Dear America: The Diary of Kathleen Bowen. I recommend this book to anyone.
