Christmas

Christmas is definitely my fave time of year :) But if I could take one thing out of it would be the hussle and bussle. I don't really enjoy crowds, tight spaces, and the pushing and shoving in stores.
I hope all of y'all had as good of a Christmas as I did :) and I hoped in the mist of the good times you remember the reason for the season- the little baby who was born in a manger to save all of us :)
Volunteering at the local "Walk to Bethlehem" helped me give back this year. That along with singing at 2 local nursing homes with our homeschool group. I absolutely loved being in the Walk to Bethlehem! We volunteered for 4 nights straight and I played Mary for 2 nights, then acted in the village shops for 2 nights. I was definitely blessed by this experience and I hope you guys can come out and help this year :)

My bff

My bff is out of the hospital and doing well. She still hurts but is better than before. :)
Well, that's all for now so........

Btw, I am thinking about deleteing this blog because I can't seem to get anybody on it, grrrr

grrrrrrr

I so want to talk to my bff but I can't seem to get to her. Her cell phone dead and I tried her mom's cell but I just got the answering machine.
My bff went in the hospital on Friday for surgery on her sternum. It was deformed on the bottom and there was some weird cartilage on her ribs so they had to go in and fix it. The surgery went well but she is in A LOT of pain right now. I have been praying like crazy for her and I hope to talk to her soon. Oh my gosh the tension is driving me insane. Please pray for me also that I don't start going bonkers and have to go to the crazy house! hahaha I am kidding but I seriously do feel like pulling my hair out. Until I hear her voice, I am going to be like this. She should be out of the hospital tomorrow I think so hopefully I can call her then. She is going to be on bed-rest for a month. I feel so bad for her. :(

FLYING

Last night I was up until 12:30am playing Just Dance on a friends wii. She was having a bday slumber party so everybody was just dancing randomly, even if they didn't have a wii remote. It was so much fun and I was doing really good surprising. I had never even played Just Dance before!
We just got back from flying in airplanes for Science Club! It was such an amazing experience! When we first got there, we sat and listened to one of the pilots teach us about planes, then we went up in groups of 2, not including the pilot. We flew for probably about 5 or 6 minutes. I saw people playing baseball on a baseball diamond, people canoeing in a creek, and even a horse track. Too bad there were no horses racing on it at the time :( It was just so cool.

I just HAD to put this here before I forgot. If you don't know me and my bff, we are crazy a lot of the time so this is a conversation we have been having for the past couple days on her Yahoo Updates page. She is Tacos.R.Smarticaltastic, I am Toughie, and another friend of mine is Candy-Corn

4-H Halloween Party

Last night was the 4-H Halloween party. I entered the pumpkin contest with my Cinderella's Carriage pumpkin. I placed 1st with my pumpkin but the best thing about it was my guy-friends reaction to my girly pumpkin. It was so hilarious. The were all shocked that I would make something like that. I guess they have never seen my girly side ;)
I think my guy-friends made a bet between themselves behind my back last night because almost all of them were trying to scare me. I hate to admit it but half the time, it worked. One of them kept shoving things like fake bugs into my face and I hate it when people do that so he always spooked me when he did that. Another one would sneak up behind me and shake me, urgh he scared me badly a couple times doing that. I think half the reason they could scare me was because it was dark out so it was already freaky. The next big thing was the two of them found a frog so as soon as I saw them with it, I took off. I kew what was coming next. They chased me around with the frog and ended up throwing it onto me. I screamed but it was only because they had scared me to death. Thank goodness I saw the frog hit the ground so I knew it was not on me anymore.
What was sweet was my one guy-friend who was not scaring me felt so sorry for me. He kept asking me if I was okay. The rest of the night he was kind of like my shield because I didn't want the one guy who threw the frog on me to sneak up on me again so he heled me keep an eye on that guy.
I am fine now but I know I don't like frogs anymore. ;) Just kidding, I love animals but I don't like it when somebody throws one at me. I know if he had threw a snake on me I would of been crying afterwards. I hate snakes. >:(

What's up with moi

A lot of stuff is new with me, yesterday a group of my homeschool friends and I went to the police station here and got to see and ask all kinds of questions. It was pretty cool. After we went and hit Hardee's (yummy yummy!) . My younger sister was sick (fever, throat hurting) so we left Hardee's, had to cancel her dentist appointment that day, and went to our grandpa's house and hung out. We hung out until it was time to go to soccer, S and I were the only ones who went to soccer because the twin didn't want to go without the sick twin. We ran A LOT during practice. I felt like I was going to fall over and pass out. After a bunch of running drills and passing drills, the coach let us scrimmage! The funnest part of the night was this one guy would talked to me. He was one of the guys that in the beginning of the season, he wasn't wearing a shirt to practice, later the coach had to MAKE them wear shirts. I was playing defender and he was the goalie so he turned to me and said, It's so hot, I want to take my shirt off but your mom will get onto me (they think its my mom who tattled, i don't really care who said something but thank goodness they did). I replied, My mom isn't even here, my dad brought S and me. He started to pick up his shirt, then he stopped and said, Wait a minute, is your dad the tall, buff dude? I nodded and replied, Yeah. Then he looked scared and said, I think I'm going to keep my shirt on! hahahahahha! I am serious! He did look scared! It was too funny.

Last night at practice I did an awesome header. The goalie on the other team had the ball so he kicked it way up in the air and I saw it coming right down at me. I yelled, I got it, and when the ball came down, I headed it and it went back up in the air, into an open space near the goal, my teammate took it and almost scored a goal! It was pretty awesome and everyone was amazed I had gotten it. Yesterday was a pretty awesome day :)

Photos from Photo clinic

Yesterday was awesome, the homeschool meeting was fun and soccer practice was a blast!

Today we had a photo clinic where we went out and took photos in the woods and creek with a ranger. We were able to use the State's cameras so each of us had our own camera. It was a alot of fun and I took a couple good photos.
Here are a few of the photos I took-

I loved these flowers out on the trip

Purty butterfly :P



Stump in the weeds and flowers


Crab in the weeds

Chao mi amigas,

Jesuschick13 aka Toughie (My bff nicknamed me this because I am a "tough cookie" combine the two words and whaa laa! You get Toughie! hahaha!)

Update

Hello!

I know, I know, I didn't get to get online to post about my game Saturday. Well, here is how my weekend went-

Saturday

Soccer game was a slaughter. We won like 10-0. I felt so bad for the other team. They didn't even have enough players to play so they had to pull some players from other teams. The team's players weren't any bigger than me, only 3 people were taller. It was a sad game. But on the bright side, the Gators won their football game! YEA!!! I am hoping a Championship is close..... ;) Alabama Crimson Tide is next so they better watch out...... :P

We also went on a field trip. We went to a place that does helicopters for the police. We were allowed to hop in the helicopter and flip buttons and such. That is a really cool field trip.

Sunday

Sunday we relaxed and hung out, always fun.

Monday

Monday was just like Sunday, we relaxed and did school.

Tuesday

This was a sad day because it was our last trip to the springs. :'( We played volleyball and I brought a soccer ball so we had a little game. It was a blast but what was so funny was the two boys that I was playing (i have known one of them for forever, but the other is a really good friend). Let me set the picture for you. I am coming up the left side of the goal, they are on the middle and while I am dribbling the ball up, I hear them saying, "u take her" "no, YOU take her". I was laughing so hard that I missed the goal but it was so funny! And these boys are bigger than me! The one that I have known forever is 11 but he is tall and skinny and the other is 15 and he is tall and muscular. Then later on in the game I heard the 15 year old say "we are never going to win with (my name here) on the other side!" I guess he said that because when I set my mind on getting someone, I don't stop. The older one had the ball and I slammed into him, not hard enough that he fell over but hard enough that I could get the ball. Who ever said soccer is not a contact sport is crazy, u won't last a minute in the game if u don't man up enough to knock someone or get kicked. U just have to learn to play with the injury.

Later that day I had soccer practice which was fun like always. We even got to scrimmage at the end which is awesome but this time I got a little more bruised up than I normally do.


Well, that's all for now so until next time, Chao!

Where have I gone???

You may be asking yourself- Omigosh! Where is she? Well one, I'm right here, where I have always been and two, school is what I have been doing. I now have 3 online classes (english, spanish 2, and math and mom signed me up for american history so I might be getting that also), not including Science Club once a week, and also not including regular science, literary analisis which mom is doing with us, Bible, and some history here and there. I am pretty busy and soccer hasn't even started yet!

AWESOME NEW SONG!

Alright, there is this new song called Fight Another Day by Addison Road and its my new fave Christian song! I have it in my playlist so be sure to check it out! I have posted the lyrics on here for y'all to enjoy but, BE SURE that you listen to this song because it is such a good one! YOU BETTER LISTEN TO THIS SONG! lol! ;)


Your broken dreams,
Your crazy schemes,
They always let you down.
The things we chase,
A hopeless race,
You're breathless, off the ground.
From soaring highs to crash-and-dies,
A peace yet to be found.
But you could spend a lifetime running.
You could spend a lifetime running.

Chorus-

And do you feel the fire when the flame gets hot?
Are you living every day like it's the last you got?
Will you step aside when it all falls down,
And watch it burn away?
Have a little faith when the walls cave in,
Pray for strength to fly against the wind.
Will you walk away when the fire gets hot,
Or fight another...Another day, yeah.
Another day, yeah.


Your fractured heart,
Your disregard,
It leaves you frozen still.
A slow withdrawal
From it all
That keeps you unfulfilled.
*will* you spend a lifetime running?
'Cause you could spend a lifetime running!

Chorus-

And do you feel the fire when the flame gets hot?
Are you living every day like it's the last you got?
Will you step aside when it all falls down,
And watch it burn away?
Have a little faith when the walls cave in,
Pray for strength to fly against the wind.
Will you walk away when the fire gets hot,
Or fight another...Another day, yeah.
Another day, yeah.



Even when your heart's been broken,
He'll be there with arms wide open.
Be strong and his love will lead you to fight another day!
(4x)

Keep your head to the sun cause its shining
