I turned 12 on Sept. 29, but I had a slumber party on Oct. 3.  My mom took a bunch of pics of it.

It seems to be a tradition at my parties that my dad breaks out the whipped cream and starts shooting:

Don't ask why, because I don't know, but for some reason my dad HAD to spray the whipped cream in one of my friends hair!

But he got a neck full of it:

After that we made our own sundaes:

My sundae. I won a prize, but I gave it to one of my friends.

 

 

After we were done my dad came in to judge.

Here's my exact thought at this moment: "He's touching mine! Pick me! Please pick ME!!!"

 

Present time!

Coolest shirt ever:

Soooo true!

My brother (gameboy) is excited about this one:

Two of my friends gave me a piece of cardboard that said: "We forgot to get you a present...so we got you this piece of cardboard." Then I tore off a piece of paper that was covering another message: "Fooled you!"...I can't remember the rest but then it explained that I was now on a hunt for my presents.

We ran all over the house, like crazy people I might add, following the clues that we found along the way:

 

 

 

 

I got three bags of candy and...

HORSE TREATS! I've needed that for a while!

Then we had our faces painted by one of my BFFs:

 

My friend the dog!

I was a butterfly.

This girl had a rainbow on one cheek, a dog on the other, and a butterfly on her forehead.

ROCK ON!

Raccoon girl.

We pretty much played WII Tennis all night.

I don't have any more pics of the party...so I guess that I'll go now.  Gooooooooo slumber parties!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

 

I'm worth $7,875!

Erase my answers and add your own then add the totals up.

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while!  I've been soooo busy.  I'm finally getting around to writing about the horse show that I went to...2 weeks ago...

We got there around 10 (I can't remember when exactly), but my first class started around 1 or 2 (again I can't remember).  It was sooooo hot!  Maybe 90 degrees.  The classes I was in only had 3 people, plus me...so 4, signed up for them. 

I thought I would do so well...but I got 4th every time :(.  The only reason I did so baddly was because Butterbean was really tired and hot.

Oh well...I'll do better next time!

How is everyone?  I'm fine.  Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, but I've benn busy and I forgot. 

Some things that are going on with me: My cat's b-day is coming up on Monday!  She will be 1!  My b-day is coming up too...the 29th.  I'll be 12.  I have a horse show on Saturday (the 13th), so I should have pics up either Sunday or next week. 

I don't really have anything else to say...

OK, we're STILL in NC.  On Saturday we went to the Sand Dunes:

Here's a picture of my mom and my brother up close:

And here's one of them actual distance:

They were ay least 2 stories high and it was a work out trying to climb them:

But once you were up, you had to come down (the fun part!):

Well, I guess I'm done with Kitty Hawk for now!  I wonder what will happen next! ; D

We're still in Kitty Hawk but we're visiting the Wright Brothers' Museum:

They have a replica of they're first airplane:

The REAL one is Washington, DC (we've seen that one too!).

Outside the museum is the ACTUAL  place where they flew in the first airplane:

Each one of the stone markers show how far the airplane went (there were 4 flights):

It was pretty cool too stand in the exact place that Orville and Wilbur Wright stood 100 years ago!  It was even more amazing when my dad mentioned that only 66 years later man landed on the moon!  Well, I am going to write about something else now! 

The next few enteries will be about our trip to Kitty Hawk.  This one will be about the beach:

It was great, until I came into contact with a jellyfish!  It hurt so bad!   Never under estimate them, even the little ones!  After that I didn't go back in the water! :O

Well, not a tornado but it was almost a tornado.  This is how it happened.  After dinner one night, we were watching TV when a tornado warning came on.  My dad was on his way home from work at the time.  The warning was issued for several different counties including ours.  When it started get really windy and it was raining and hailing, we hid my brothers closet.  When the wind died down we went to see what had happened:

The hail was about the size of a quarter:

It got really foggy after that:

Here's what it did to our porch:

My dad got home OK and nobody got hurt! ; D

There is this strawberry farm that we go to once a year.  

Here's a picture of my friend's brother:

All that green behind him is strawberries!  There are also some onions there:

And here's my family (except my dad):

I think that my brain wasn't working because I put on my favorite jeans and one of my favorite shirts.  I got juice all over them! X P

That was the question I was asking my mom one morning when I went into the kitchen.  It smelled like hazelnut coffee.

After about an hour, my mom entered the kitchen and said, "Oh...it's the thing I put in the oven!"

Here's what they're SUPPOSED to look like:

Ugghh!  They don't look good either way to me!  Well, that's just another day at our house!    :D

My brother and I were in a 70's variety show last Friday.  A bunch of our homeschool friends were in it too.  There was the Jackson Five (7 in our case):

Side by Side:

Mission Impossible:

Here's my brother in a "Tight Rope" skit:

"The Annoying Bus Stop" skit (Which I was in but not till the end):

Sonny and Cher:

The Brady Bunch (Notice me as Marcia over in the corner):

And my personal favorite, The Osmonds:

At the end there was a surprise visit from Shaun Cassidy:

It was sooo fun for the kids in it and for the audience!

I went to another horse show on the 30th and did really well!  Here's a pic of me and The Bean:

Don't we look GOOD?!?!  Here's a pic of the girl I went with (my next door neighbor):

She's only 5 and got tired after a while!  Bless her heart!  Here's some pics of her on her horse Overly:

Here's some pics of 2 of my friends:

Me in the ring:

Like I said I did REALLY good:

6th, 2nd, and 3rd.... not bad in my opinion! 

Last week we went to a barrier island called Caper's Island.  We went with some of our friends from the homeschool group.

Here's a pic of our guide:

Ok, so we caught him off guard.  And here's some pics of some crabs that were in a trap that they pulled up:

When we got to the island our guide let us go to explore:

Further up on the beach there were a bunch of trees that had been killed by the tide, bleached by the sun, and covered in barnecles:

In this one you can see the barnecles:

That's a barrier island for ya!  I loved Caper's Island and I would LOVE to go again!

On February 3rd I went to the first show of the year.   It's a hour drive and we were leaving at 7:00 a.m. so we had to get up at 5:20. I got about 5 hours of sleep. 

Here are me and the Bean:

My friend came later in the day:

Punkin is 6 months old now and has figured out that she has claws and teeth.  She also knows that they hurt!!! 

Here's some pictures of her attacking my mom's foot:
