Dance recital

Sunday was my year end dance recital. This is me and mom after the first show, there were two shows.

My Grandma came and gave me the flowers in the picture. The flowers are pink carnations and white daises. They are very beautiful and smell so good. I have them sitting right next to the computer so I can enjoy them.

My dance team, the Stars, danced to three songs and the finale. The three songs were American Pie (jazz), Sugar Cane (lyrical), and Bazooka Bubble Gum (tap). The finale, which the whole studio danced to do was Sweet Child of Mine. The theme for our studio this year was "The Sweet Life of Dance" and all the songs were about something sweet.

Next year I am going to take a tap class and not be in a show line. Tap is my favorite kind of dance, I just love to tap dance.

Underwater Adventures

When we went to Underwater Adventures I saw a awesomely big turtle. It was an Alligator turtle, here is a picture of it.

This I think is a red ear slider turtle, the tank with them in it is on the

left when you start walking through.

After that you go into this tunnel that is under water and get to see a whole bunch of things sharks, mantras, lots of different kinds of fish, and a couple sea turtles.

Then there is a room of Jelly fish. They are in tall tanks with neon lights that change color so you can see them. Then you come out in a gift shop and there is a touch pool with star fish and horse shoe crabs and some sea anemones. There is also a octopus in a tank with a information thing that said they are as smart as a four year old.

Parks

Lately, now that it is warmer, we have been going into town to a tennis court to play tennis. There is also a baseball field and a play ground. It has swings, a slide, tractor tires, a climbing thing, and this wonderful thing! Isn't it cool?! Thats me and my brother, he is in the middle, I'm on the left.

Grubs and chickens

We started our garden, radishes to sell at the farmers' market, and when we were planting I found a grub!

My mom and I were taking pictures of it this is one of the good ones. It was hard cause we were in the sun, and after a couple pictures it started biting us. That really hurts! In times like this the chickens get a snack! Lucky them!

Goat babys!

This last week we have had 8 baby goats! The first two are Zeke, a little boy, and Gabrella, a girl. Maggie is their mom. They are white and Zeke has a black spot by his ear and a few on his leg. They are good sized goats. Then later that night Elizabeth had Sneezerita, a girl, on Monday. She is all white and has big, beautiful, bug eyes. She is as big as Zeke. Wednesday, Calliope had a boy we named Charlie. His fur is brownish colored. Millie had Joe next, also brownish and a very big boy. Saturday, Desdemona had two little girls, Eleanora and Anastasia. Anastasia is mostly white and Eleanora is brown. She is my favorite and the cutest one of the new goats. They are both small but Eleanora is the smallest of the two. Then on Monday Veronica had Rubyanna. She is white.

Year of the dragonfly.

Last week was my birthday and I got dangly dragonfly earrings from my mom and dad and a pair of non dangly earrings. The dragonfly stands for growing up, which makes seance because it was my 13Th birthday. I also got Wii sports resort, Apples to Apples, a turtle necklace, and a set of shower gel and lotion. For dinner we went to Fudrukers after that we went to barns and nobles then Trader Joe's and finally the Northwestern book store. When we got home we played Apples to Apples, Mom won.
