Digital Camera Rally is Tonight!

Hey everyone! Today at WOW we're doing a digital camera rally. How this is done is we split up into teams and then a leader drives us around town and we hop out of the car at spacific places and then have the leader take our picture. Then we hop back in the car and go to another spot. We've only got about an hour to hit almost 30 spots. If I can, I'll post some of the pictures we take later, but that is a big maybe. That's all!

Yesterday...

Yesterday was really busy. We went to the mall to have lunch with some friends, and then we got my little sister's 9 month old pictures taken. Then we went to a friends house quickly and then to my braiding class. It was so much fun! I learned the running braid first, then the hunt braid, and finally the tail braid. I really enjoyed it. :) Then we went to another mall and met some friends for dinner. It was loads of fun, even though it was really busy. Have a great Saturday everyone!!



Friday, March 27, 2009

Horse braiding class...

I've got a horse clinic tonight at my stable. I get to learn how to braid a horses tail and mane! Fun, fun, FUN! I can't wait, and then after that we're going out to dinner with a few of my mom's friends from High School at the mall food court. So this should be a fun day. When I woke up this morning there was snow dust on the ground. It was depressing. :( But now it is all gone and I'm happy again! Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a good day readers,

cold!

Hey everyone! it was really cold yesterday. Well okay, not REALLY cold but, cold enough to SNOW! I was so mad, and depressed. :( Thankfully it stopped and we didn't get a lot. Actually it all melted last night so yeah, it's all good now! But it is still chilly, so I hoping and praying that it warms up and I can wear my shorts, tanks and flip flops! (Well, okay it is like 35 degrees so I only need it to warm up five moer degrees to wear my flipper floppers.(Flip Flops) LOL)

Praying For...

Hey ya'll! I'd just thought I send up an blog post alert about a four or five month old boy named Stellan. I don't know too much about what he has, only I do know that his heart rate is all over the board right now. It can plummet and then sky rocket. So please, please be praying for him and his family right now in their time of need.

Prayers for Stellan


thanks for reading,

Riding

Today at riding I rode Leo again. Lately I've been riding Febe, but she wasn't very happy or feeling good, so yeah I rode Leo. And I had Anna for an instructor instead of Jill, which is fine with me. :) Anna had me do a lot of my trotting without my stirrups! It was lots of fun, I did sitting and posting trot without stirrups and it was really fun but really hard. My friend Rachel came to watch me and that was fun. So that is all really I've got to write about today, I hope you all have a great rest of the day... or night really,

Tonight's topic at WOW

Hey ya'll! I thought I'd share what we talked about tonight at WOW. We talked about how to be happy, but not taking short cuts. Such as acting happy, listening to music, playing video games, and getting busy. We also talked about that yes, these things will make you happy, but not for long. But God will. So, my youth pastor had us do a taste test. And here is what was going through my mind,
"Oh great, this is not good."
And the reason being, is because sometimes my youth pastor likes to make us well, embarrassed lets just put it and leave it at that. So I walked up to the choices. There was cheese on crackers, Peanut butter on crackers, milk, chocolate chips, baloney, and bacon. Well, I don't eat baloney or bacon, and I don't really drink milk, so that left me to the chocolate chips and the crackers. I just chose the cheese and crackers. It tasted fine and normal. So, I sat back down at my spot and then, my youth pastor told us what was real, and what wasn't.
Real:
The crackers

Fake:
The cheese (Veggie cheese), the Peanut butter (Peanot butter), the milk (Soy milk), the baloney (Veggie baloney), the bacon (Veggie bacon), and the chocolate chips. (Ah man, I forgot what they were really made of! Oops)

But anyway, he was trying to tell us that somethings are not what they seem. Listening to music may make you happy for a short while, but in the long run, no. It won't. But God's love will! Here is a chapter from the bible that he share with us. Read carefully!

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 [a] ;
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

This may be a short chapter, but it is loaded with information for us on how to be truly happy! Read it again and look at the bold sections more carefully. This is a wonderful chapter, and just like he did, I'm going to encourage you to memorise it! It is only five verses! FIVE! You can do it! I'm sure going to try! Oh yeah, he also played this video for us. We are sponsoring a compassion child in Rwanda. So watch this too!



Hope you all have a wonderful day and rest of the week!

My very fun(ny) riding lesson!

Yesterday I had a riding lesson and I got to ride Leo. I was thinking "Yes! Finally a calm horse after Febe!" But man I was SOOOOOO wrong!!!!!! (Here is an attitude description of Leo. Calmest horse you'll meet.) I got in the stall and he was antsy, I just thought that it was because he wanted to go out and be ridden, I got out to the arena and he kept trying to bite me! So, I slapped him in the face and hopped on. He refused to walk so I kept stopping and going, stopping and going. Finally Jill told me I could trot, but then he just wanted to canter! I was so confused! With Leo I've always gotta urge him on to even trot! So Again, stop and go, stop and go. Then... (This is the kinda funny kinda scary part.) he started doing the bunny hop! I'm not kidding! All four legs off the ground at the same time jumping up and down. After about ten minutes I got him to stand still and Jill (My instructor) told me to get off and she was going to try ride him out of it. First though, she kicked him in the stomach really hard. She didn't take my helmet though when she got on. When she hopped on and let him canter. Then, he reared. I freaked out because she didn't have a helmet on. Then he did it again, and he was vertical! Like a straight line! Now, I was kinda laughing because it was a totally different horse! She hopped off and kicked him again and hit him with the reins. She told Ann (A girl who works there to pay for her lessons) to get her a lunge rope and a whip. Right after she put the line on, he went into a full pledged canter and then gallop! Ann, Jill and I were all in hysterics! This wasn't the Leo we all knew! It was crazy! He fell on his side once and his bottom once too I think. After about twenty plus minutes he was calmed down and soooooo sweaty! He was completely drenched with sweat. He smelled like a wet dog. *Yuck* Jill got on for a few minutes and then let me on. I was giggling still, and after I got on, it was the same old Leo.
So yeah, that is my very funny, odd and maybe even scary story! I'm tellin' yeah... there is never a dull moment when it comes to horses!

(Note: Don't worry, Leo wasn't hurt at all during this lesson. He is such a huge animal, so don't worry. If anyone would have got hurt, it would have been either me or Jill. All the slapping, kicking, and falling probably didn't fase him at all really! I just thought I'd let you know that!)

Saturday Fun

Hello! Well, Saturday may be people's favorite day of the week, it can be hard sometimes to think of something to do. You REALLY shouldn't be a couch potato, but sometimes it seems like that is the only thing you can do. So, here are a few things that may help you get your bottom off that couch!

1. Scrapbook
It is fun, and it can be silly. I'm making a scrapbook about my friends. It will be interesting to see the pictures I get. LOL
2. Cook
Make something from scratch! But, make sure you clean up after yourself. Or your parents will have a fit.
3.CLEAN
I know, it doesn't sound fun, but your parents will ADORE you for doing it!
4. Go outside!
Run, bike, swim, ski, whatever you like to do outside do it! Unless it is raining or you have really bad weather.
5.Pray
Talking to God can really be fun. Just talk to him like he is your best friend. Or, your dad. He loves it when you do that. And, before you know it, an hour could have gone by!


So, do you have any ideas to pass those Saturdays? If you want, you can leave me a comment and tell me!

Riding...

I love riding. It is my favorite thing to do! Well, that and go to my youth group WOW. lol, but anyway... I rode again today. It was a great lesson. I rode Febe again, but she was kind of a pain. She gets distracted SO easily! So, she stopped constently and turned her head to look at the bird that just hopped. *Rolls eyes* and it is really, REALLY hard to move a 1,000 (maybe, not sure) plus pound stubborn animal. But, I managed too. I trotted over a log a lot today, which was fun, unless Febe stopped and it too five minutes to get over it. But yeah, oh all you other riders may know what I'm talking about when I say this next thing. Isn't it SO annoying when a rain drop (Or melted snow drop) falls through your helmet's holes and right on your head! That happened today, it was very gross and cold. It was melted snow that leaked through my stable's roof. So yeah, it was fun still. I always have fun riding! Have a good day!!!!!!!

Last Riding lesson...

At my last riding lesson I rode a horse named Febe. She was so sweet. But fast! She is a black mare quarter horse. But she doesn't really look like one. :) my new saddle blanket really sticks out on her. Because it is mint green and she is solid black. I loved riding her, she was amzing and I didin't want it to end. Lets see if I can get the pictures my mom took on here...

Puzzling Proverbs...

Hey guys! Now, I'm not meaning like proverbs from the bible, I mean like sayings such as All's fare in love and war. That kind of proverb. So, what you've gotta do is solve these. And to tell me what you think they are, just put the number and your answer! In about two maybe three weeks I'll post all the answers for you guys! :) So here we go!

Example: P. is as P. D. Answer: Pretty is as Pretty Does


1. Y. can L. a H. to W. but Y. can't M. H. D.

2. S. is G.

3. Don't C. Y. C. before T. H.

4. E. to B. E. to R. M. a M. H., W., and W.

5. The, L. of M. is the R. of all E.

6. D. C. over S. M.

7. S. and Y. shall. F.

8. C. should be. S., not H.

If one is already answered, and you think it is a different answer or even if you think it is the same one, you can answer it too!
