As of right now, I'm going to be taking a break from blogging. I've been really busy, and I have comments that need to be responded to and tags and awards that I have to give out- stuff like that. I have alot to do with soccer and school as it is. I'll be back soon- or the next time I feel like getting on. Thanks to everyone for the comments, PMs, tags, and awards. Til next time, Savannah http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/soccrchicksta/609054/ Thu, 23 Oct 2008 15:38:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/soccrchicksta/609054/ Hey, guys! Here’s what I’ve been up to this week! Sunday- We went to church and then to the park for a birthday party for our friend. His name is Matthew and he turned 8. We had pizza, and played soccer on the field that was there. It was all wt from the rain Saturday, and everyone was soaked! LOL Monday- I did only some of my school because my mom had to leave at 8:15 to take Cameron and Rachel to a field trip, and then she came back about an hour and a half later. Then, we had to leave at 11:30 to get to the same place to pick them up. Then, I had a field trip at the same place, so we waited there for about 45 minutes. It was a fun field trip. Later, I had soccer practice- that was an ok practice…. Tuesday- At 5 in the morning, my dad woke Rachel and I up and took us to the beach to watch the sunrise. But, we got there at 6:15 and sunrise wasn’t until 7:15. LOL So, we huddled up in blankets and waited til the sun rose. I got a ton of pictures! We also had school and then Grama came and picked Cameron, Rachel, and I up and went to Burger King for dinner, then to Rachel’s soccer practice. Then, we went back to Grama’s house, and we were dressing up in a bunch of old jewelry and clothes that my Grama has! It was a ton of fun! Mom and Dad picked us up later. Wednesday- Only school that day…… :\ Thursday- There was school, and at 4:30, my friend Kerah from my soccer team came over because she needed a ride to practice. We took Cameron to his practice, then left at 5:40 to go to our practice. There were only 3 people there- Kerah, Ryleigh, and I. LOL It was a pretty good practice though. LOL I watched DC and the Revs play last night as well- a great game played by DC!!! ;] Friday- Soccer practice and soccer. Rachel got a bloody nose playing on the playground- the first time Cameron, Rachel, or I have gotten a bloody nose before!!! Saturday- There were lots of games- and rain…. all day!!!!!! LOL I had my game with the girls, and we won 3-0. Rachel won her soccer game about 6 or so to 1. I lost my co-ed game 6-4, or something like that- it was a really good game though. Cameron tied his game 1-1. Sunday- There was church and I had a soccer game with the girls. We won 4-0. It was a really easy team- the worst in the league. Then, my coach, Kelly, went with my mom and I to her classic team’s game. She couldn’t play because she tore her second ACL, but I got to watch- it was a good game! ;] The score was 3-0, Kelly’s team won. Then, Kelly’s team had a picnic type thing, and she said I could stay. The food was really good! ;] Ugh….. I’m so tired from this weekend, so I’m gonna go! ;] Savannah http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/soccrchicksta/607037/ Sun, 19 Oct 2008 17:35:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/soccrchicksta/607037/ I got awarded by SmileyGirl95! ;] Thanks girl!!

It's late as it is, and I have to be up really early to get to my soccer game. Saturday- My co-ed team played and we won 7-0. Cameron's soccer team won, but I don't remember the score. Rachel won 9-1. :] Sunday- I went to church, and had a soccer game with the girls- we won 1-0. It was a tough game.

Tuesday- School... I helped out with Rachel's practice, which was fun ;] Wednesday- Only school :\ Thursday- School... I took Ryleigh to practice. But, first Cameron had practice, so we went from his practice to our practice. There were only 3 people there- me, Kelly, and Ryleigh. And our AMAZING coaches Chris and Kelly. It was an okay practice, but we only had 4 people to work with. LOL I was up until 11:20 watching an MLS soccer game! ;] Today I did school, and had soccer practice. That wasn't the best practice... But, whatever... Dad called the nurse, and she said that I can take my splint off my finger now. I am not completely confident just letting it hang free, so I taped it to my other finger. I've been meaning to put pictures on, but I've been really busyyy recently, and am too tired to do it now..... :/ Sorry!!! But, I'll try next post! Well, I gotta go- so tired... I have to be at the field tomorrow at 8:15 for a 9:00 game, and the field takes almost 30 minutes to get to. Okay, final good-bye!

I was dribbling, and this girl came to get it. I kept going thinking she owuld not be able to kick it- but she did. I fell,and apparently fell on my left pinky..... I got up, and looked at it, and knew something was wrong with it. My mom takes me home, and we thought it was jammed or dislocated- I wasn't in much pain. I go to the doctor, get x-rays, and find out that my pinky's fractured. I was like you're kidding me. So, the doctors gave me this thumb support thing, and flipped it around- I'll post pictures soon- and I went home. I played a soccer game this morning, and scored. :D My brother and sister both lost their games... :[ I have a game this Wednesday, but I am not sure if I will play.

I watched about 10 or 25 minutes of it, but I personally thought it was BORING! I think it is more of a boy movie- LOL! I watched Bridge to Terabithia with my sister- that movie is so sad! I've only cried in 2 movies- that one and the Little Princess. I couldn't help it! LOL Saturday- I went to my little sister's soccer game. We were there from 9:30 til 11:45- the game was supposed to start at 10, but SURPRISE! it started at around 10:40! And it was so hot at the field! After that we went to my brother's soccer game, which at least there was shade at that field! He lost. :[ When his game was over, we went home, then went back to the field for my soccer game. Oh! I forgot to post the scores! Rachel got 8-1, Cameron got 6-3, and I got 5 or something to 2. I stayed after my game with my friend to watch part of the next game.

Well, I have some bad news. On Saturday, my papa passed away..... My mom [his daughter ] took a plane to go visit my grama and the rest of my mom's family and go to the funeral. She left Monday at 2:30. She's coming back tomorrow at about noon. If you guys could would you please be in prayer for my mom and her family?? Thanks so much guys- I know that my grama, mom, and other family members appreciate it alot. Well, when my mom left, we didn't have a teacher! But, we didn't get off completely free. We do have some work to do, but it's not a whole entire day! ;] Really quick I am going to tell you guys what I have been up to! Sunday- Church and I can't remember what else..... Oh, well, I'll go back later if I remember. LOL Monday- My mom left @ 2:30, and I did some of my school. I had soccer practice and my dad, brother, sister, me and my friend Zach had a campfire and smores in the backyard! =] Yum! Tuesday- Some school.... My grama took my brother, sister, and I to CiCi's and then to her house since we were done with school and would otherwise be bored at the house. =] It was fun! Rachel, my sister, had soccer practice and I helped out some. =] Today- Some school... My grama had to do something so she couldn't come pick me Cameron and Rachel up. :[ It's been raining some, and my sister's soccer practice was cancelled. :[ I started reading a boook called Mara, Daughter of the Nile today. I am only about 30 pages into and I LOVE  it!!!! I can tell that it's going to be really good! I was also reading the Greene Knowe Chronicles. The first 2 books were really good, but the third book is BLAH compared to the other ones. :\ Oh, well...... I guess I'm going to go work on my blog or comment some people. Thanks to those who've commented!! ;] Savannah http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/soccrchicksta/588117/ Wed, 10 Sep 2008 15:04:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/soccrchicksta/588117/ Well, Hurricane Hanna came and went. There was wind and rain, but not much else. It was kind of  a lame storm compared to other hurricanes I have gone through. But, no one was hurt, so I guess that's the important thing. Soccer was cancelled Friday and today, but I have practice with my co-ed team tomorrow at 3 to make up for our cancelled practice on Friday. There was this big tree/branch that fell into our pool!! :O My friend was chopping it with an axe! LOL I raked some leaves and things up, and cut some branches. Now I have a spot on my left hand that is raw from the raking. :[ Oh, well, it's not the first time. LOL I haven't done much today, but I just wanted to report that my family and I got through Hanna safely. What have you all been doing this weekend???? Well, I am going to go do more cleaning up in the yard, so I hope to talk to you all soon!

It was really cool! I also had soccer practice- that went well! Tuesday- I had school, and I went to my sister's soccer practice. There, this 6 year old took my phone, and I was calling it and calling it. Finally, after a few hours, I guess the girl's mom found my phone, and she answered my call. I was kind of mad, but I got my phone back. :] Wednesday- School, and soccer- not much else. LOL Thursday- School, soccer practice, and watching MLS on the TV. :] Today, I did school and there is a big hurricane coming! :O It's coming at about 1 A.M. tomorrow morning, and I am staying up with my dad and my brother to see it!! :] The last big hurricane we had, this tree fell down in my friend Denae's[dancer011195] yard. It squashed a fence and our neighbor's garden, but thankfully it didn't fall towards Denae's house. The hurricane also cancelled this weekend's soccer. :\ Oh, well....... Well, I am going to go comment some people- and also, I only need 10 more comments before I reach 150! :D ;] Bye! ~~Savannah http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/soccrchicksta/585576/ Fri, 5 Sep 2008 12:15:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/soccrchicksta/585576/ This has been a great week- and this weekend will be even better. Really quickly, I’ll go over what I did this week. Sunday- Church and Pool Party for travel team Monday- School and soccer practice with the girls Tuesday- School but no soccer because of rain :\ Wednesday- School but again rain so no soccer Thursday- Soccer and soccer practice for my brother and travel team practice Friday- School ice-skating and soccer practice I’m going to write more about my soccer stuff on my soccer blog.

Well, sorry this is so short, but I really want to write on my soccer blog. Hope to talk to you all soon! ~~~Savannah P.S. There’s one last thing that I want to say:   HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!! ;] I LOVE YOU!!!!!! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/soccrchicksta/582364/ Fri, 29 Aug 2008 19:51:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/soccrchicksta/582364/ Well, I am back from vacation- and on Monday I start school! I am so excited! That also means that I won't be blogging as much- or commenting. I know I hardly comment, but I will try to comment everyone before school starts! Well, I guess I will tell you what happened on my vacaton! On Friday night my mom, brother, sister, dad and I left to make the long trip to my grandparents' house. We got to their house Saturday morning. I was so glad to be out of the car! LOL Later that afternoon, Brittney and Dillon- two of my cousins- and my aunt came over. Brittney is 13 and Dillon is 9. Rachel and Cameron, my brother and sister, and I went to their house to spend the night! It was alot fo fun! We had a campfire, and we slept in my cousins' camper with my other cousin Jessie. She is Brittney and Dillon's older sister. The next day, Sunday, we stayed almost the whole day at Brittney's house. We went back to my grandparents' that afternoon. On Monday another one of my cousins, Isaiah, and another one of my aunts came over. We played hide-and-seek, and played Isaiah's Wii that he brought with him. My dad took me putt-putting, and we both had a score of 51! :O On Tuesday, I went to a waterpark with Isaiah, Dillon, and Brittney. My mom, grama, aunt, dad, and siblings came too! It was so much fun! They have waterslides and putt-putt [LOL] and even a ferris wheel! On Wednesday, Dillon came over to my grandparents' house. Brittney didn't feel good that day so she couldn't come. :[ After my grama, mom, and I dropped Dillon off at his house, we went to a few different stores. On Thursday, I went to the zoo! It was alot of fun, and I took lotsa pictures. I might post some pictures sometime! That night, Brittney and Dillon came and slept over at our grandparents'! It was so much fun! I stayed up with Brittney til maybe 2:30! :O The next day, Brittney and I went on a walk, and then Jessie and my aunt came over to say good-bye to my family before we left. We left to come home at 7:30, and I am really happy to be home! Well, I hope this post wasn't too boring! I don't think I'll post unttil at least Friday with it being the first week of school, but I hope to talk to all of you very soon! Bye! ~Savannah <3 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/soccrchicksta/575824/ Sat, 16 Aug 2008 12:30:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/soccrchicksta/575824/ I am really excited because I am leaving tomorrow night to go visit relatives for a week! I can't wait! Well yesterday I went to my friend's house! It was fun! We played her Wii, had McDonald's for lunch, played house with her 4 year old twin sisters and had ice cream! Yummy! I also watched FC Barcelona beat the New York Red Bulls. The score was 6-2!!!!! It was a good game though. I didn't watch the whole because my grandma came over for a while when the game was on- but that's okay!! ;] Today I went with another friend to see Peter Pan. It was another one of those dollar moves! LOL It was okay. It was live action, and I definitely like the animated one done by Disney SO much better! I would rate it 2 stars- maybe 1.5. Yeah, it wasn't that good. But, my friend's mom got us Icees and popcorn! :D I thought we were only getting a drink and popcorn, but she came into the movie theater with Icees!! Yummy! Later , I have soccer practice with the travel team. Oh, when I come back from vacation on the 15th or 16th, I am starting school the following Monday, so I don't know when I will post next. Between school and soccer, I don't know how often I will post- let alone comment! Hope to talk to you all soon- and thanks for commenting! ;] God Bless, Savannah<33333 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/soccrchicksta/571321/ Thu, 7 Aug 2008 15:02:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/soccrchicksta/571321/ This is awful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    Pllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee sign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Savannah <3333 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/soccrchicksta/570370/ Tue, 5 Aug 2008 15:11:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/soccrchicksta/570370/ Yesterday I had so much fun! I woke up, and did some conditioning stuff for soccer. Then, at around lunch time, my friend Ryleigh picked me up and I went with her, her baby brother, and her step-dad to a meeting. I sat with Ryleigh and her brother while her step-dad went to the meeting. The meeting lasted for about an hour and a half. Then, we went to the store and Ryleigh's step-dad bought us ice cream, a soda, and some candy! It was yummy! Then, we had to run some errands. After the errands, we went to Ryleigh's house and we went swimming at the neighborhood pool. My mom came and picked Ryleigh and I up and we went to my house. After we ate dinner, we played some soccer, then went with my mom, brother and sister to watch a soccer game! The team we wanted to win lost- which means that team can't play in the playoffs in their league! : [ It was a good game, though- well, the last thirty minutes were anyway!! LOL We took Ryleigh home after the game. Today, we went to church and right now I am watching Toronto FC play against FC Dallas. I think I want Dallas to win- but it isn't my favorite team! Well, I hope to talk to you all soon!! God Bless, Savannah http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/soccrchicksta/569399/ Sun, 3 Aug 2008 14:58:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/soccrchicksta/569399/ Well, this week has been a bit busy!! On Tuesday, I went with my mom, sister, and brother to run a few errands. After dinner that night, we went to a park that is a few minutes away. My brother, sister and I played tag and some soccer!!! On Wednesday, I went to the beach with my mom, brother, and sister in the morning. It was fun! We also went to the same park that night too! It was fun! On Thursday, I went with my mom, brother, and sister to another of the free summer movies! It was Alvin and the Chipmunks- I like that movie alot! Later that day, I had soccer practice with the travel team. If I have time I will write about the practice on my soccer blog!!!! It was a good practice! There was lightning right at the end of practice- literally! It rained later that night. This morning I went to the beach with my mom, brother, sister, and my friend. Dancer011195 was there with her mom and sisters and brother. We were there for 3 and a half hours! I got sunburn on face!! LOL Oh, well!!!!!!!!!!!! Right now it's raining. Well, I had better go! Hope to talk to you all soon!! ~Savannah <3 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/soccrchicksta/568705/ Fri, 1 Aug 2008 15:18:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/soccrchicksta/568705/ Well, I can't believe that summer is almost over! It feels like it just started! Well, on Sunday, I went to church and my uncle and his girlfriend came over for a little while. I also bought something on MLS so I can watch MLS games on my pc any time I want!!! I am watching FC Dallas and Chivas USA play right now!! It was a game that was played in May. LOL My favorite MLS teams are Chivas USA and New England Revolution. Last night, my friend who lives across the street slept over. We made really goofy videos, and made more goofy movies with my brother and sister and 2 of my friend's sisters!! It was so much fun!!!!! I still need to go running today for soccer. I didn't  run Saturday or Sunday because my foot/leg were hurting for some reason- I think I hurt them at the lock-in. Well, I need to go!!! Hope to talk to you all soon!!
