It was alot of fun! We met friends and walked the Freedom Trail and even saw two moose! ... well we saw one moose and saw the back of a moose as it walked away. Some of our campsites were cool while others were not so cool. But anyway. We came back on Sunday @ about 9 or 10 o'clock.  We haven't done too much since we got back other than school. and now our uncle came back from Iraq for two weeks so that's cool too. Well I gtg now... I'll ttyl! Eld*est http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/EldestOf5/599196/ Thu, 2 Oct 2008 20:18:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/EldestOf5/599196/ Hey peoples! I am sorry that I haven't written in so long. Have you guys been watching the Olympics? I have. My favorite event is the gymnastics and swimming. I hope that Michael Phelps gets all 8 gold medals this Olympics!! Anyway, I have an announcement to make.... We are going to Boston in the Fall!  Yea!!!!  We are going next month. I think it will be alot of fun! I have another announcement to make... It is longleggedgirl's birthday today! so please go over to her blog and wish her a happy birthday. We are going bowling tonight at her request. Sis#3 and I made her a brownie cake that has a bowling lane on it. My mom and sisters helped us brainstorm the stuff for it. I will try to post a pic soon. well I have to go. but I will post stuff from our trip and hopefully post before then also. ttyl! Eld*est http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/EldestOf5/574749/ Thu, 14 Aug 2008 11:57:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/EldestOf5/574749/ Hey guys and girls! We are back from Wild Adventures as you probably figured out! This past weekend we went to my grandma's house down in Tampa. When we got home, we found that water had leaked under our floor from the chimney area. We had had some rain and so that's how we found out about the leak. Hopefully we can get that fixed soon so that potential buyers don't have to worry about it. Sis#3 and I are doing a cake decorating class. It is alot of fun. I have learned how to make roses, bows, flowers, and even cellphones out of icing! I am going to learn how to do what's called basket weaving to make part of a cake look like a basket, today. Oh! Today is my G-maw's B-day! So Happy Birthday G-maw! I gtg now! So ttyl! Eld*est http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/EldestOf5/559196/ Thu, 10 Jul 2008 09:28:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/EldestOf5/559196/ If your wondering about the title then I'll just tell you that I just typed something because I couldn't figure out a title. Anyway, we have been really busy these past few weeks. Last week I don't think we were home much at all! And we will not be here this weekend at all. We will be at our friends all day tomorrow and Saturday and Sunday we will be up in Valdosta, Georgia at Wild Adventures.   Sis#3 has been gone w/ our aunt since Monday and has just gotten back today. Each of us are staying with her for 4 days each month through September. Sis#2 was first. She went in June. I will be going in August.   I finished school!! I am very glad and am enjoying my summer vacation. Well I have to be going. TTYL! Eld*est http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/EldestOf5/553144/ Thu, 26 Jun 2008 19:00:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/EldestOf5/553144/ I got baptized on Sunday! After church we went to a members house to do it (they have a pool and a really big house so we always do it there). There were five of us getting baptized. I was nervous at first but the Lord calmed me down and helped me tell my testimony clearly. I'll try to post some pics later. My grandparents came, my cousins came w/ their kids, my aunt and uncle came w/ their twins, and G-maw came. We had lunch after the baptism. So anyway, do ya'll get a summer break? I don't get school off until the 19th of this month. Why do I always ask questions when I know that I won't get any answers? I don't know why but I DO know that it's weird! oh, well I am a weird person. On Friday we went to Wild Adventures. We were at Splash Island most of the time though. It was alot of fun and the best part is that I didn't get as bad a sunburn as I thought!!  =D    When we got home I just tumbled into bed. And the next day we were going to a work day at our church! As it was, we got there really late and afterwards the four of us went to our friends house. So anyway, that was my weekend. Not necessarily in order, but there it is. I will post something later in the week hopefully (don't count on it though=).  Eld*est Oh! I forgot to tell you! We got a new roof today and yesterday! There was alot of bang bang! anyways, ttyl! Oh again! We won our last volleyball game! I know it was late notice but we have been pretty busy! Hey pets out there! I got out today but otherwise my day was pretty boring. I got to bark at all the men around our house! I don't understand why they were there but it was fun barking at them! I gtg now.

We put our house back up on the market after we remodeled the kitchen. The kitchen looks great now! It didn't look so great before but now it's terrific! Every time someone walks in that hasn't been since the remodeling they say that it looks great! I think my mom put pics up on her blog.   I am writing this from the Miami area. We have a C.A.R. conference down here. It actually starts tomorrow night, but my Aunt Anna and Uncle Brian have been renting down here for awhile so we came down early to see them. We have gone to the beach once already and we are going to go again tomorrow before we leave for the conference.   Oh!! I can't believe I forgot! It is my mom and dad's anniversary!! Since my dad is not down here they are seperated for their 15th anniversary. So I am going to tell them: Happy Anniversary Mom And Dad!! Anyway... I am going to do my second testing ever on Monday the 14th! I am excited but not. I have a test prep that I have to go through and some of the math I haven't even learned yet! I'm like, hello! How can I get a good grade on something I haven't even learned! It is not so much fun having to go over everything. It doesn't help that math isn't quite my favorite subject. Now if it was reading, I would love it and hopefully get pretty good on it. Ok, I have to get off now. Me mom says. Well, I'll TTYL!! Eld*est I don't have really anything to say other than that I miss my owner! Ash*lee I miss you too Ashlee!! Eld*est http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/EldestOf5/510101/ Thu, 3 Apr 2008 17:44:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/EldestOf5/510101/ I had an interesting day today. Well... not too interesting. =) I babysat our realtor's son all day today and it was fun. He is a very happy and quiet baby. He just turned 1 last month and he is soo cute! I have been babysitting him for them a lot.  I meant to blog yesterday and tell you how bored I was and post a pic for the first time but we just got new carpet in our rooms and so we were rearranging them and all. It looks pretty good with our light brown paint. I felt so random yesterday that I had a smiley face on my cheek, a million beads on and writing on my arm and was going to go to O'Charley's like that but my mom made me take the smiley face and I took some of the writing off too. I am going to try and take some pics of my room and post them. It will be the first time I post pics so wish me luck. Plus,  my dad's out of town so he can't help me =P  (he is a computer whiz! No I am not kidding!!)  I am amazed!! I don't have anything else to say!! normally I can post longer, but I can't think of anything at all to say!! Oh, well I guess I'll just have to go. I have to get off the computer anyway so Bye!  TTYL! Eld*est P.S. Oh! I forgot! I am going to art class tomorrow for my sisters! Also, my mom might get a job at the same homeschool store that my sisters are having their art class.
