Friday, March 7, 2008 - Another Entry |
Sorry it has taken me so long to write another post, everything has been so chaotic lately. Yesterday my mom went to do some work in town, and my brothers and I went to my aunt's house for the day! I had a good time! She is an awesome aunt, and I always enjoy going to her house!
On my last post someone left me a comment asking what my favorite movies are. I like so many movies that it is hard to choose from. I will name 5 of my favorite movies. 1-Pirates of the Caribbean 1,2,and 3, 2- Pride and Prejudice, 3- The Love Comes Softly Series, 4-I like several James Bond Movies, 5-Saving Sarah Cain. Those are all really good movies!
This Saturday the church that we do Monday school in is having a work day, we are going to have to clean the inside and the outside of the church. Everyone has to be there that is involved with the Monday school program and the people that go to that church! We have to be there at 9:00am, and we aren't for sure what time we are going to leave.
I can't think of anything else to write, so this will have to do for now!

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 - Hello, I'm still here! |
On Monday my brothers and I went to the co-op. For those who don't know what that is, if you look about 4-5 entrys down I explained it there. Anyway it was REALLY fun! I learned a LOT of different things. My favorite classes so far are Writing the Novel Way and Vocabulary! I can't wait till next Monday!
On Saturday I am going to help out at a Valentine's banquet. Some people that go to our church host the Valentine's banquet every year, they sell tickets for it, and they usually have a good turn out. The banquet is held at a school near where I live. I am going to help out, so I will be a waitress for the evening!!! I am supposed to were a black pair of pants and a white shirt. Thankfully I have both of those things!
That is all I have to say for this entry!

Thursday, January 17, 2008 - how y'll doing? |
I finally got the second book in the Prairie River Series; it is really good so far.
The alpaca job is going fairly well. The owners are coming back on Monday the 21st. I will be glad when they are back. Taking care of alpacas is defiantly a hard job, and it takes up so much time.
My mom is going to Orlando, Florida in about two weeks. She has a convention that she has to go to for her work. She will be gone for four days. It will be a LONG four days at our house, LOL!
Next week my brothers and I are going to start going to a co-op for homeschoolars. Just incase you don’t know what that is, I will tell you. Every Monday between 9:00-3:00 there are different classes that we go to and learn different things. There are about 10-15 classes for kids of all ages to participate in. there are about 7 classes in my age group that I can do, but some of the classes are at the same time so I can’t do all the classes. I am doing about 4-5 classes. The one class that I am really excited about is Writing the Novel Way. I LOVE writing and I have always wanted to write a book. The class sounds like fun and I will most likely learn some good tips about writing a book!
My brother is going to his friend’s birthday party today! He is going to leave in about 30 minutes. He will be gone for about 2-3 hours, so it will be very peaceful in this house! LOL!
I hope everyone has a great day!

Sunday, December 2, 2007 - Christmas |
Hello blogger,
Is it just me or are there other people who think that it is ridiculous that people are offended by other people being saying Merry Christmas? This is my opinion on that........ Christmas is a Christian holiday, period. How did the whole Christmas holiday start?------------- The birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, he was born in a stable in Bethlehem. People came from miles away to bring him gifts, and the wise men followed a star for miles just to see our Lord Jesus. How ridiculous it is that people are trying to take Christ out of Christmas, when Christmas all started because of Christ! Next time you go into a store, look how many things are Happy Holidays, and look how many of the decorations for Christmas are everything that DOESN'T have to do with Christ.
Now, in some stores they are not aloud to call Christmas trees, Christmas trees they can only call them family trees. I think that is wrong, a Christmas tree is a Christmas tree, it will always be a Christmas tree. Christ is Christmas and it will always be! and it is wrong that people try to change the meaning of Christmas.
If you have any opinions on this post PLEASE leave me a comment and let me now your opinion!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well now that I got that out of my system I will tell a few different things that have been going on around here lately.
Last night we got two an a half inches of snow! But in the morning it started raining, and it is pretty much slush. On Saturday the news says that we are suppose to get a good amount of snow, and it is supposed to stay for awhile!
Today I am at my aunts house, while my mom is working in town. I love my aunt sooooooo much, she is very nice, and fun to hang out with. My brother Jared came with me, and my aunt is babysitting here grandchild Hayden. Hayden is 7 months, and he is such a cutie!!!
Merry Christmas,

Hello bloggers,
How are you all doing!!!! I hope you enjoyed the pics in the last post!
Today it snowed!!!! It started to snow around 7:00pm. I love to play in the snow, I like to sled and snowboard! Do you all like to play in the snow?
Today was a normal day. We had swimming this morning. My mom organized swimming lessons at a local swimming pool for some of the homeschool people in the area. We do swimming lessons in the fall and the spring! I love swimming, it is my favorite sport! After swimming I worked on math. This year I am using Saxon math, and all my other subjects are bob jones. I worked on school for awhile and then I made an apple pie! I enjoy making pies, cakes, cookies, and pastries! I use Cyrstal Miller's oil pie crust recipe, and I think it works REALLY well!
Thank you all for stopping by and welcoming Emily to the site! She just wrote a new post, so if you have time please stop by and comment on her post!
We have a poll on our sidebar now, and we would like you to vote. We would like the views of the people that read our blog.

Wednesday, November 7, 2007 - Allergies or cold |
Well my mom and I haven't been feeling a hundred percent lately. My mom got a cold, stuffy nose, itchy throat, and stuff like that. I have been taking my vitamins and the immune boosts, so my immune system is not as weak and susceptible to sicknesses. I did get a stuffy nose, but I think that it is allergies, but yesterday I did have an itchy throat. Anyway can everyone please pray that we will get all better, and that no one else will get sick.
Sierra also hasn't been feeling the best either (That is why she hasn't been posting). She , well I will just say that she thinks she ate something that didn't agree with her, and she threw up several times a couple days ago. Please pray that she will get all better as well!
Well tonight my family and I went to Awana's. there wasn't as many people tonight as other nights. There was a lot of people that didn't come.
Tomorrow some of my other friends are coming over for awhile. Their mom and dad are taking adoption classes. I am hoping that I will finish school quickly so we have more time to play.
For the last few days my mom and I have been going to a gym that is 15 minutes from us. Mom and I wanted to get back into shape, we're entering the holiday season, were there's turkey, ham, pies, mashed potatoes and gravy, and all that good food that has a tendency to pack on the pounds. My mom and I usually do the tred meal, and some of the weights, and other equipment that they have. My favorite thing to do there is the boxing bag, I think it is really fun to punch the bag ( I know that sounds strange, but it is a big stress reliever) . Anyway, the gym owner is really nice and he was timing me to punch the bag for one minute without stopping, and then a one minute brake. We did that three times, and my knuckles were so sore and VERY red . Well at the time I wasn't that sore, but today I am REALLY sore . My shoulders hurt so bad. It hurts to pick up anything more than 5 pounds, or to stretch out, or anything that is stretching the muscle. My mom and I are going back to the gym tomorrow again, we took a brake this morning since we were so sore. We leave to go to the gym at 5:45 in the morning, so we are back by 7:00 am so dad can go to work.
Well I hope you enjoyed my post, even though it was long.
Makayla

Well it has been beautiful here for the past several weeks. Sunny and feeling like fall! it has been chilly and it freezes in the nights, but it is really nice. I don't like it when it is soooooo hot out, fall and winter are my favorite seasons!
My mom, me, and my brother Jared went to town today. Jared has been sick off and on for the last 3 weeks. My mom made an appointment with the doctor, to make the long story short, he has a sinus infection, and his sinuses are stuffed full. The doctor gave my mom some medicine for Jared. He has to take it once a day for 5 days. Please pray that he will get better soon, and sleep well at night.
Well that is all that I have to post for now!

Saturday, October 20, 2007 - Long Time Since I have Written an Entry |
Hello Everyone,
I am so sorry that it took me so long to write a new entry. I have been VERY busy. I will try to update you the best I can.
Lets see, vacation was pretty fun. It was VERY cold there. My Mom, me and my brothers visited some of the little town shops, and I got a WhiteFish, Montana shirt, and a pair of very pretty earings. It was a very scienic drive going to WhiteFish, there were a lot of cows and horses on the way. And every time my family and I drove past a pasture full of cows, Jared (my youngest brother, he is 1-1/2), would point to them and say cow, cow,cow, moooo. It was sooooooo cute !
Towards the end of our vacation my brother Jared got sick, he got the stomach flu, he puked several times in the hotel room. My mom and I did the best we could to cleen it up, but the smell still stayed in the room for awhile. The next day we started back home, I got a sack from the hotel room just incase Jared had to puke again, Thankfully he didn't, but then I must of caught what Jared caught and I puked 4 times in the car and once we reached home I puked another 5 times, and then I was a little better the next day, but my stomach was still turning a little. To make the story short we all got it, thankfully it is a short illness. My brother Jared is still sick, he puked again today, and he is fine for several days and then he will get sick again, if you all could pray for him to get well that would be great. But everyone else is doing well now. Vacations are nice, but I always like it when I am back home.
Well everything is going well, it has been VERY rainy and clowdy. It has also been cold as well, at nights it has been in the 40s and during the days it has been in the 50-60s. I like the fall, but the downside is all the rain. Where I live we get probably close to 20 inches of rain in the fall. What is all your girls and guys favorite seasons and why?
Yesterday my dad and my dad's friend butchered our bull Lucky. Lucky was getting kind of mean, he would charge the tractor or our truck when we would go feed. And we were getting low in our beef. The one thing I do not like about butchering is the smell, it stinks terrible.
Well my brother Matthew and I have started swimming lessons a week ago. This Monday will be our second lesson. My mom organizes a homeschool swimming lessons. There is two different sessions one is earlier than the other, and the homeschool group has 22 kids in each session.
Ok, well that is all I have to say for write now. Oh, I want to thank Shekinah for putting my awards on my sidebar. !!!THANK YOU!!!!

Thursday, October 11, 2007 - Vacation |
Hello Everyone,
It has been awhile since I have posted, so I thought I would post a quick post. I am currently on vacation with my family. We are staying at this beautiful hotel in WhiteFish, Montana. They have a computer, so that is why I am posting. My dad has some meetings that he had to attend to up here, and it is sooooooooooo beautiful! So we made it a vacation. We will be back home on Sunday. My brother and I are starting swimming lessons on Monday, so we HAVE to be back. Ok Back to the hotel, the pool is sooo cool. It is indoor/outdoor. It has a little tunnel that leads to the outside pool, and it is really cool!
Ok, Rachel awarded me the Purpose award, Thank you!
I am going to award- Kember, she is very sweet, and she always has cool things to read about on her blog.
I am going to award- The Wedhorn Family , she is very kind, very sweet, and nice, I always enjoy reading her posts!
I am going to award- RachelReasonings , I know she awarded me this award as well, but I think she deserves it!!!!
Well, the computer has a time limit of 15 minutes and I think I went over it a little, so I should probably get off after I say a few more things. LOL!!
Ok We went to Glacier National Park, and I took several beautiful pictures, That I will share when I get back to the computer at home. I thought Glacier Park was pretty, but there were barely any animals. My family saw 1 duck, 1 bird, and three Squirrels. I thought Yellowstone had a lot more animals and was a lot more preetier.
Ok, I am done with brekfest, and I need to go up to the room, and see what we are going to do for the day!

September 25, 2007- On Tuesday my dad was working at his shop and our 10 year old Black lab/Springer Spaniel named Emmett was laying under my dad's little pickup. My dad went to go up to the house for lunch and he didn't see Emmett and he accidently ran over him, and he got out and saw him and picked him up and caried him to the side of our driveway, we think he only ran over one of his front legs, because that is the only leg that is very swollen and he doesn't walk on it, but he walks on the other legs. We have called the vet, but we haven't gotten a call back yet, and we might have to take him to the vet office. But he has really bad hips and he has already had surgery on the, but they are still really bad, and he won't let us pick him up because it hurts him and he trys to bight us when we try to pick him up. But we hope the vet will call back soon!
September 28, 2007- Today was our first night of Awana for the year. Just in case you do not know what Awana is I will tell you. Awana stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed. And Awana is a club that teaches kids about Jesus. They have 15 minutes of story time and then you have books that have verses in them and you memerize them and say them to a leader, and they check it off and you get points for game time, and whoever's team wins at gametime gets a mini candybar, and the other kids get to have 1 piece of candy as well. They have different age groups as well, age 3-5 is cubbies and my mom and dad are the leaders for cubbies, grade K-2 is Sparkies, grade 3-6 is TNT ( which stands for Truth and Training), and they have a Jr.High Group, and our friends are the leaders for the Jr. High group. It is a very fun group to be in!!
September 27,2007- Well today my mom had to go to work, so my brothers and I are staying at my aunts house till she gets done with work. I am finished for school today, which is a BIG relief. And that is about everthing that is going on.
Well that is all I have to write about for now, I hope I didn't make the entry to long. LOL!!

Monday, September 24, 2007 - Awards, and Dangerous Fire |
Hello Everyone,
First of all I want to thank button's, point510, and jocelyndixon for the awards.
Buttons and Point510 awarded me the reflections award!!! And Jocelyn Dixon Awarded me the nice matters award. And for the reflections award I award....... Amanda - SuperHorseSteader, and Kate - branded4him, and the nice matters award goes to..... maa, because I always enjoy reading her posts, and she is very nice!
 
Ok now I will post about what I have been doing for the last several days.
Friday, September 21, 2007- Ok well, my mom, me and my brothers had to go to town to pick up a welding helmet for my dad. After we were done picking it up we went to a park for a picnic. The park is very nice and has a river nearby it is very pretty park and it is very peaceful. After our picnic, we did some school and mom took the boys down to play in the water.
There was a fire that is in a town about 15 minutes from were I live. It took place in an old building that a company used to store wood stove pellets, shavings, and some other things. They do not know what caused the fire yet, since it is to hot to have people go in and check it out, but they think it was caused from something inside the building. The fire was so big that a friend of my mom's could see it from the the post office, which is a good 1-2 miles away.
Ok I am going to skip Saturday since I can't remember if we did anything important on that day.
Sunday, September 23, 2007- Well yesterday my family and I went to church. Since the church that we go to is in the same town were the fire was, it was pretty smokey. And after church when we drove past the spot were the fire is, there were still flames were the building USED to be. They still haven't been able to see what caused the fire yet or if there was anyone in the building when it caught on fire.
Monday, September 24, 2007- Well today I did school, I am doing very well in school so far, and I am doing especially well in Math. I really like the Math this year. I am doing Saxon Math. It explianes the problems very well and it is easy to understand. Next week my friend Sierra is coming over to my house for 3 days. Her mom is going on a vacation and Sierra is staying at my house. One of the days we have planned for a movie night. My mom is going to take us to the store to get ice cream and a candy bar for each of us, and one of my mom's friend's let me borrow some movies, and we will just have a fun time! Well it is getting late and My mom made some homemade chocolate cake, which I NEED to go eat. LOL!!!

Wednesday, September 19, 2007 - Chiropractor Again! |
Hello,
Yesterday I went to the chiropractor, again. I had three rips out of place. No wonder it hurt so bad, the funny thing about this whole thing is that I just went to the chiropractor a week ago, and got mt neck and back popped back into place. The Chiropractor said to take it easy and NOT to lift anything heavy for three days. He said that the bones need to heal. My mom calls me the accident- prone child. After I got an adjustment, my mom had to get new tires for our car, the tread was wearing out. Well on our way to get new tires, one of the old tires, must of had a hole in it and was really low on air and was going flat. Thankfully we made it to the tire place in time. While our tires were being changed my aunt met us and we went out to lunch. I was very hungry, and I was glad there was a restaurant nearby!
Today my mom, me, and my brothers went on a nature walk around the farm. We found several cool things, and the weather was so nice!!! It was around 70 degrees, it was just right. A couple days ago, my mom and dad got new cell phones. My dad got a water proof one, some of the work he does he has to wade through water and stuff and a regular cell phone would get ruined. My mom got a Krazer, which I think is really cool!!! A little while ago we downloaded three ringtones. The songs my mom picked were Luck Man (by Montgomery Gentry), Independence Day (by Martina McBride), and God Bless the USA, and I am not for sure who sings that one.
Well that is all I have to write! Have a good evening!

I got 3 things. I got a pair of brand new BLUE flip flops (blue is my favorite color) , and I got 1 tank top, and 1 long sleeved shirt. After we were done garage saling mom, me , and Jared went home, and dad made dinner. Which I thought was very nice!

Thursday, September 13, 2007 - |
Hello bloggers,
September 12, 2007- Yesterday I did some computer work for my dad. I would work on my dad's stuff for a little while and then as you can see I added several different things to my blog, a cbox, and a bible quiz ( which is below my friends list). I took the bible quiz and it is a lot harder than you might think, I got 2 incorrect out of 10 questions. I thought it was fun!!!
September 13, 2007- Several days ago I popped my neck on accident. I was stretching my neck, because my neck was very sore, and then I heard a pop, and then I could only move my neck one way and it hurt to bend it back. So today I went to a chiropractor and he popped my neck back into place, and he also popped my back.He is very gentle and he does a very good job. And my neck feels a little bit better now . He said I need to ice my neck several times tomorrow and several times today and my neck should feel back to normal in a couple days. He said since the muscles were strained for several days, it takes 2-3 days for them to heal, and feel normal.
Well I will be starting school very soon!!! 4 days to be exact, I am kind of excited. My main priorities for the rest of the year are school, working with my horse(giving her grain and grooming her), cleaning out the chicken coop, and cleaning out the chicken boxes, and any other things I left out, which I am sure I most likely left several things out, and my mom will most likely remind me very soon . The current book I am reading is Nancy Drew/Hardy boys. So far it is pretty good, Nancy Drew/ Hardy boy Super mystery is the title, the book is about Nancy working on a case, and the Hardy Boys are working on the same case, but the don't figure out they are both working on it till the middle of the book. I have only read two of the Nancy Drew/ Hardy boy mysteries, and I liked them both!
Tomorrow evening my mom and I are going to a Keith Urban concert!!!! I like a lot of his songs, and if you haven't heard any of his songs you can go towards the bottom of my music box and there will be some of his songs!
Well that is all I have to write for now, I will post again soon! When I start school I will most likely only be able to post three days a week.

Hello Everyone,
It has been awhile since I have posted. I will update you on the days that I didn't post.
September 8, 2007- I went to my friend's house on Saturday. My dad left to go hunting the day before Saturday, they were hunting for elk.
September 9, 2007- On Sunday I went to church, and after church my family and my friend went to an Awana postluck. It was very fun, and the food was great!!! My dad and Matthew got home from hunting, unfortunately they came home empty handed.
September 10, 2007- Yesterday I cleaned my room, it looks a little better, I just need to finish folding my clothes and my room will be CLEAN! It was very hot yesterday, it was around 95 degrees, we went to a boat moorage that is near us, we played there, but the water was VERY low and you could touch for two feet and then it dropped off abuot ten feet, so we didn't play there for a long time.
September 11, 2007- Today my mom had to go to work, she had to leave around 6:00 am  and she won't be back till around 5:00 pm. Dad stayed home from work and is doing some different things around the house. My dad is going to make a stall for my horse for the winter. We would put her in there in the nights, and when it is extremely cold.
Well that is all I have to say for now!

Thursday, September 6, 2007 - !Pictures! |
Hello,
Yesterday my mom and Matthew had to go to the dentist. Matthew had to get the rest of his cavities taken care of, and I not for sure what my mom had to have done. While they were gone I babysat my brothers! Well lets just say that it is not the easiest job in the world. And Jared was a little whinny yesterday. He wanted to be held all the time.
Today my mom had to go to town to work, so Jared and I are staying at my aunt's house, and Matthew and Luke are staying at my grandma's and grandpa's house. My aunt took me to Wal-Mart so I could get some fabric for making baby blankets. I found several different kinds of fabric that I thought were really cute! Just in case you were wondering, I make baby blankets for my uncle, who gives them out to the people he knows who are going to have baby's, or the guys at work, who's wives are going to have baby's. When I get a chance I will take a picture of some of the blankets I make and post them on here. Speaking of pictures, I am planning to post some pictures of me and my friend, and some just of me on here soon! My friend and I are planning to get together and take some pics, so we can post them on our blogs. I can't wait till I can post them on here!
I will be starting school on the 17th of September. In a way I am looking forward to it, and in a way I am not. But I hope that I will have a good school year and do very well!

Tuesday, September 4, 2007 - Pedicures and manicures! |
Hello everyone,
Well, I will do the same thing as the the last entry, I will tell you what I did on the days I didn't post.
September 2, 2007- My brother Jared had a fever for several days, around 101-102. We were giving him motrin, and his fever would go down for a little while, then it would go back up. We think he was teething. We went to town, and mom got these cool patches to put on his head, he didn't like it at all, and would not keep it on, but now he is much better and he has not had a fever for 48 hrs. My friend came over and spent the night at my house. My mom has a foot spa, and that night we used that a gave each other a pedicure. It felt soooooooo good!!! We also watched several different movies.
September 3, 2007- Happy Labor Day!!!! My mom, my brother Matthew, Sierra, and me went to a near by tennis court and we played tennis. I am not really good at it , but my mom and Sierra are very good, towards the end I was a little bit better, but I will need LOTS of practice. That night for dinner I made potato salad and we had hamburgers. MMMNNNNN!
September 4, 2007- Today is rainy. It rained really hard last night. It looks like it is clearing off a little bit, and maybe later on in the day it will turn out to be a nicer day. It is supposed to be really nice the rest of the week around 75-80 degrees. I have been cleaning my room pretty much all morning. Then when I wasn't cleaning my room I went outside, and since we haven't been going to the gym lately, I run laps around the house several times a day, for exercise. I run about 10 laps and by the time I am done I am ready for a big glass of water. Then I come inside and do some setups and push ups, and then I am done, it is quite refreshing.

Friday, August 31, 2007 - Updating! |
Hello Everyone,
Well I will update you on the days I haven't posted.
August 29, 2007- I was getting kind of board of the way I organized my room. I moved my bed and desk and I think it looks a lot better. Every other month I like to reorganizing my room. Also on that day my dad and I planned a birthday party for my mom. My dad ordered a cake and we invited several of my mom's closest friends, and our grandpa and grandma.
August 30, 2007- We cleaned the house that day. We invited about 10 guests, and of course the house has to be spotless. My mom had a good time visiting with her friends. I had a pretty good time to, I especially loved the pizza and cake, mmmmnnn.My mom got some jewelery, a foot spa, and some flowers.
Today, August 31, 2007- Today we had to go to the dentist. I had to get celence on my teeth. Just in case you don't know what that is, they put it in your molars to level them out, so cavities can't go in them.That took around 30 minutes for them to do that. My brother had 5 cavities, so it took a lot longer, but they only fixed three of them today, and he has to go back in a week to get the others fixed. The dentist said that I did a good job keeping my teeth clean, and that I had nice teeth, which I am thankful!
Tomorrow, September 1, 2007- I can't believe that tomorrow is September, summer has gone soooooooooo fast. Actually the whole year has gone by really fast. Tomorrow is my mom and dad's 17th anniversary. I hope my parents have a nice anniversary!!!
Well that is all that I have to say right now.
Thank you for reading,

Tuesday, August 28, 2007 - Babysitting! |
Hello,
Today my mom had to go to work in town. I babysat Luke, and Matthew and Jared stayed at my aunt's house why my mom went to work. Luke is a very busy three year old boy. The nice thing about babysitting him is that he loves to be outside. And in our front yard we have a sandpit, and he will stay out there thirty minutes to an hour playing with his tractors, and the other toys he has set up out there. And after that he will come in side for a little while and then he will go back outside and play again. When he grows up he said he wants to live on a farm and raise cows and he wants to own a John Deer tractor.
While Luke was outside I cleaned up the house a little. I cleaned the burners on the stove, I swept the floors, I cleaned the kitchen, and cleaned out the sink. The kitchen looked a lot better after I was done.
My grandma is not feeling very well today. She went to the doctor the day before yesterday and when she got home she didn't feel well. And now she can barely get off of the couch. she has a horrible headache. Can you please pray that she will get to feeling better.
I hope you enjoy this entry,

Hello,
The wedding was lots of fun! The bride was so beautiful! I got to see several friends I haven't seen in a long time. I got to see one of my friends mom and dad, which I haven't seen in a long time. They are missionaries in the Philippians. They have been missionaries there for I think 3 years.They are taking a little break, and are in the states for 7 months before they have to return.They are really nice people! They used to go to the church we used to go to, and when they left, their mom asked if I could write to her sons, I said yes.
Yesterday I spent the night at Sierra's house. I had a fun time! We talked, played Nintendo, and watched a movie. She has to be one of the coolest people I have ever met!
Ok, I have seen this game on several different blogs, and I thought I would give it a try.

Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - Busy, Busy,Busy!!!!!!! |
"WOW", what a busy week!
I got home from fair on Sunday evening. I had a fun time, although it was very stressful, aggravating, and towards the end of fair I was getting grumpy and tired. Vixson did an excellent job, even though we did not get to do all the classes. The night before showmanship I decided to give Vixson a bath. I never had used the conditioner on her before, but I have used the Shampoo on her. I washed her and made sure that I got all the soap out , and then I gave her water and food and clean shavings and went on to camp. She did very good in showmanship and the next day I noticed she had some bumps on her skin. They weren't that big at the time so I thought maybe it was some fly bites. The next day she had huge bumps all over her body and several of them had popped open and the pus was draining out of them. T found the vet and she said that they were hives, she said it was most likely the conditioner, since we never changed our hay,grain,supplements, saddle pad,or anything else. Every two to four hours she said to give her a bath and to wash the hives with Epsom salt. That whole day I could not ride her, but I kept on doing what the vet said and the next day she was back to normal. Later on I found out that it said on the bottle to dilute the shampoo and conditioner with water. Well next time I will know.
Today My brother ( Matthew), My mom, and I went to the dentist. My brother had five cavities. He has not been the best on brushing his teeth lately. The dentist said I had very nice teeth and I did a very good job brushing. It was very nice to hear that, I have been trying to brush my teeth twice or sometimes even three times a day. I never really liked yellow teeth. I like that dentist a lot and they are so gentle.
Tomorrow we are going to work around the house and take it easy. On Thursday we are going to meet my aunt and uncle and go bowling. I love going bowling! It is really fun!!!! My aunt and uncle are very nice and they have to be one of the nicest people I have every met, and defiantly my favorite aunt and uncle.
Well I thing that is a long enough post I will try to write again soon,

Tuesday, August 14, 2007 - Decorating stalls, and gone again! |
Hello bloggers,
Well, on Sunday afternoon my friend Sierra came over and spent the night. We had a good time. We watched several different movies and we stayed up till 3:00 am. The next day we played a Nancy Drew PC game. The game is called, The Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake. It is an awesome game, she let me borrow it and right now I am stuck on one part and it is very aggravating.
Yesterday our 4-H group decorated our stalls. They look very nice. We decorated with streamers, our posters, and some other different things.We went to the barn at the fair grounds around 2:45pm and we came home around 6:30pm, and we only had 6 stalls to decorate. I was defiantly tired when we got back home.
This will be my last post for 6 days. I will be at the fair grounds and I won't have enough time to come back to the house and write a new entry. I will be leaving around 3:00 pm today and I will be back around 6:00pm on Sunday. And after fair my life will be "pretty much" back to normal.
I hope you enjoy reading this entry,

Sunday, August 12, 2007 - I am glad to be back! |
Hello Bloggers,
Thank you....
I want to say thank you to everyone for the comments. I never expected to get so many. Thank you to... Kember, Mustang, EmilyD, SuperHorseSteader, Hanemlee, RachelsReasoning, Sierramist, MandieAnne, Meme2173, Pointe510, Beth, Sam7260, April in RI, and KennyHA and thank you to anyone else that I might of forgot.
Horse Camp, Our Horses, and Fair......
Horse camp went pretty well. I learned a lot of different things about, English, Western,Gaming, Grooming, and a lot of different things. It was very long and towards the end I was very tired and couldn't wait to get home and go to bed. Everyday we would get up a 6:45 am and then we would be released around 9:30-10:00 pm and by the time I took a shower and got ready to go to bed it was 11:30-12:00pm it was defiantly a long 4 days.
Vixson is doing very well. We have both been learning new techniques . I got her a pair of riding boots, that help with her arthritis. They help support the joints while you are riding. She doesn't mind them on the front legs, but she doesn't like them on the back legs.
My mom's horse Star had an abcess in her hoof. Just in case you don't know what an abcess is, it is a infection in the hoof-leg area. It gets to where they can barely walk. And we called the vet and the vet cut a little part in the hoof, so that the puss and the gross stuff that is in there can drain out.
Alright, I will tell you different things I am doing to get ready for fair. Fair is the 14,15,16,17,18, and the 19. I will most likely not be able to post on those days. To be able to go to fair you have to do a poster,( my poster was on arthritis in the horses joints), on your project, ( my project would be my horse). You also have to turn in a record book and you also have to attend a work day. Which was the 4th of August. On the work day you have to clean up the stalls, ( wash them with soap and water) put fresh shavings in them and the aisle. Our 4-H group worked from 9-12. It is hard work getting ready for fair and also during fair. My dad has made saddle racks for us, which is nice, this way we don't have to leave our saddles on the ground in our tack room. We have had several different people come in and teach us different things about English,Western, and showmanship. Which is nice, because it is all great information.
Lord of the Rings....
I finally have watched Lord of the Rings. I thought it was awesome!!!!!! My 5 favorite characters are.... Legilis, ( Not for sure how to spell his name. The person I'm talking about is the guy with the blond hair and the boy and arrow), Gimli, ( The dwarf with the red beard), Aregon,( Not for sure how to spell his name either.), Pippin, ( one of the hobits), and the elf( I think) with the black hair, I think her name is Arwin. And I am going over 5 but I also like Sam and Erowyn ( the girl with the blond wavy hair).
WOW, this is a very, very long entry and I hope you enjoy reading it. I will try to post another entry tomorrow, but it will have to be in the morning. I have to do stall decorating in the evening at 5:00 pm. I am glad to be back on HSB, and I will write again tomorrow.
Have a good day,
Makayla |

Thursday, July 12, 2007 - Month!!!! |
Hello,
Ok I am off to horse camp. Wish me luck!
Ok I will not be able to post for 1 month. I know it will be awhile. I got grounded and that is all I am going to tell. It will be awhile, but in that time I will have a comment contest. Lets see in one month how about my goal will be 30 comments. I think that sounds reasonable. The rules are that you cannot leave more than one comment a day. I can't wait to read them August 12.

Wednesday, July 11, 2007 - Warm! Did I mention Warm |
Hello Everyone,
Wow! It has been so warm! Yesterday it was 100 degrees. We went to town yesterday, my mom had to go to work. Jared and I stayed at my aunt's house. She has air conditioning in her house and it was so nice. Around 6:30pm we went home and our house wasn't to warm. The worst part of it was that we had 15 bees in our big windows in the front of the house. My parents don't know how they got in. All the windows were shut and the doors were shut as well. My dad thinks we might have a hole somewhere.
Tomorrow my family and I will be leaving to go to horse camp. I will be gone till Saturday evening. It will be a long week. The weather is not supposed to be to warm. Today it is supposed to be 100 and Thursday is supposed to be around 90 and Friday and Saturday around 80-85.
Tomorrow is my friend Alexandria's birthday. She is coming over today in a little while. Her mom and brothers and sisters wanted to get something for her birthday and while they do that Alexandria is going to come over and visit. I haven't seen her in awhile, so it will be nice to see her again.
I want to thank the people who did the habits/facts game. I enjoyed reading all your facts and habits.

Saturday, July 7, 2007 - A lot to tell! |
Hello bloggers,
Well it has defiantly been a busy several days. Yesterday my mom,grandma,my two little brothers,my friend, and I went to some garage sales. I got some cool stuff. I bought some jewelery, movies, and some miscellaneous stuff. While we were in the middle of garage sailing my grandpa called and said that our bull ( male cow) got out. So we had to come home and put him back into the fence. And then we went back and finished going to the sales that we did not go to yet.
Hmm, let me think of things I have done today. Around 10:00am I went down and groomed my horse. I gave her some grain and MSM ( MSM helps with her arthritis in her knees) while she eats the grain I groom her. This weekend is horse camp , so I am trying to take her out everyday and groom her. I also walk her around and work on her showmanship.
A little while ago I made some bread. I use Crystal Miller's recipe. I think it is very good,especially when it comes fresh out of the oven. MMMM NNN!
Well that is all I can think of writing for now!
God Bless,

Tuesday, July 3, 2007 - THE 4th OF THE JULY.......... |
Hello Everyone,
The Beach.....
The beach was very nice. we stayed at a nice hotel that had a free brekfest between 7-10. Which I enjoyed!It was very nice weather while we were there, between 65-70. I got some wonderful pictures of the ocean and other things. I just have to transfer them to the computer and then a j-peg file and then I will be able to post them. So it may be awhile, but I will try to post them on here as soon as possible. We stayed at the beach Friday,Saturday, and came home Sunday afternoon. It was nice being back on the farm.
Today....
Today I went to our neighbors to do some yard work for them. They are very nice and Bill ( our neighbor) helped me do some of the work. It will take a few days to clean it all up. Last year he cut down the blackberries that were covering his fence line. My job is to clean up all the blackberries and dried branches and leaves and put it in a trailer. It will take awhile, but it will look a lot better when it is done.
4th Of July.....
The 4th of July is tomorrow. The fireworks and all are cool, but it is also good to remember the true meaning of Independence Day! The weather is supposed to be in the mid 90s tomorrow. It will defiently be very warm. Today it was between 80-85. It was very warm. I hope everyone has a very fun and enjoyable 4th. I think that is all I have to write. I think that will keep y'all busy reading for a little while.
God Bless America,
Makayla

Friday, June 29, 2007 - The Beach! |
Hello Bloggers,
The day before yesterday I had to go to the doctor to get some shots. I had to get a Tetanus and meningococcal shot (I might of misspelled those words). I think I had a reaction to the shots, because yesterday I was really sick. I could keep nothing in my belly (I think that is the nice way of putting it). I started feeling much better towards the evening. My mom called the doctor and the doctor said to give me something that has a good amount of sugar in it. I guess it helps your belly or something like that. The doctor said to give me some Sprite or Sierra Mist. My mom would give me several tablespoons every 10-15 minutes. I felt a lot better that evening and I am about normal now.
We are going to leave today to go to the beach. So I will not be able to write a new entry for at least 3-4 days. I will try to take some pictures while I am at the beach and I will try to post them as soon as possible. I am all done packing and I helped the boys pack. We are going to leave when my dad comes home from work. He is going to come home earlier today, (around 1:30-2:30) That way we can get to the beach around dinner time. It is a three hour drive. Well that is all I have to say for now. Have a good day y'all.

Tuesday, June 26, 2007 - Update! |
Hello Bloggers,
The day before yesterday I spent the night at my friend's house. We played cards and watched some movies. The movies we watched are... Twins (Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito), Calamity Jane ( Starring Doris Day and Howard Keel, I thought it was a funny and a very good movie), And an Agatha Christie Movie, The Mirror Cracked (Starring Elizabeth Taylor,Rock Hudson,Angela Lansbury,and Tony Curtis). Those are all very good movies and fun to watch.
Let me see, I can update you on things that are happening on our farm.......
The Garden is going ok. We got some sweet pepper plants and some tomato plants. We have a few stalks of corn that the rabbits left behind. We are going to buy some corn plants in a week or so. We have two rows of beans and the rabbits have not touched them YET. Either, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I will be doing some yard work for a neighbor. Our neighbor wants me to bring my horse as well, so my horse(Vixson) can eat some of the taller grass in his yard. I bet Vixson will enjoy eating it, although I don't think she needs it.
This weekend it is supposed to be very nice and my family is thinking about going to the beach. I can't wait!!!!!! It has been awhile since I have been to the beach and I am looking forward to going. I will try to get some pics. And I will try to post them. It might be sometime though. Well I think that is all. I hope you enjoyed reading it. I tried not to make it to long.
God Bless,
Makayla

Saturday, June 23, 2007 - Hay! |
Hello Everyone,
Today we are getting hay. Dad hired a couple of guys to help him with the hay. We have to get 15 ton of hay. It is a lot. Well in the winter we have 6 cows ( and possibly more this winter), and 4 horses. In the Winter we usually give them 2 bales of hay a day. The hay is very nice. It is 75% alfalfa and 25% Timothy grass/hay.
Yesterday my mom, me, Matthew,Luke,and Jared went to town. We had to take the bacons and ham to a butcher shop to have it cured. we also went to Wal-Mart and we went to get some Chinese food. I like Chinese food it is one of my favorite dishes.
Tomorrow is church and I might go to my friends house. Well that is about all I have to write. It has been kind of mellow here.
Well bye for now,

Wednesday, June 20, 2007 - Testing |
Hello everyone,
I will update you on what I have been up to the last few days.
Yesterday....
Well Yesterday I started testing. We ( the other kids who are testing as well) are tested from nine to twelve-thirty. And the lady who tests us lets us have a little brake in between tests. She is very nice! After I got home from testing I checked the eggs. I am getting around seven eggs, but we have a rat or a ground squirrel that is eating the eggs. I hope we catch whatever it is that is eating the eggs. I know it is not a chicken, because usually half the shell is gone and the egg shell is on the ground or by the the nest.
Today.......
Today I finished testing. I tested above average in everything. I worked hard and I am glad I tested well. Today I also had the pleasure of wrapping meat. We butchered our 4 pigs. We wrapped two whole pigs and a half of another pig. Tomorrow we are going to wrap the rest. I don't mind wrapping the meat, but the smell of the pig is what gets to me. Well that is what has been going on around here for the last couple days.
Well by for now, I will try to write tomorrow,
Makayla

Monday, June 18, 2007 - Long week!!!!! |
Hello bloggers,
Well it has been several days so I will try to update you on what has been going on at the Williams farm.
Today and Yesterday.....
Well today is my dad's 43rd birthday. For dinner we invited a couple of my dad's and mom's friends and we are going to have a barbecue. My mom made homemade cake and frosting which looks delicious.
I cleaned out our camper and got it looking nice for horse camp. And boy did I have a lot to clean. I sanitized everything and swept the floor, and did other little things. I can't wait till horse camp. I got the last bit of accessories that I need for horse camp. My mom ordered me some cowboy boots. I got some brushes for cleaning my horse and making her hair soft and clean. I got a hoof pick and hair bands for braiding her hair.
Further on in the week.....
Tomorrow is testing for my school. I love testing I think it is really fun. And I am praying that I get good grades and do well in my tests. The lady that does the testing is really kind, so that makes it more enjoyable. Well I can't think of anything on the top of my head. Oh, I think we all should give Amanda Dixson (SuperAngel) and Jocelyn Dixson (Amusing reflections of a country girl) a hands up for putting together the Homesteading Carnival. If you haven't checked it out you should they did a very well job.
Well bye for now,

Thursday, June 7, 2007 - Aunt's b-ay |
Hello everyone,
Today is my aunts Birthday! She is turning 42 and can you believe she is a grandma. I think she is to young to be a grandma. She is a very nice aunt, she always calls me Sis I don't know why but she does. Maybe she calls me that because I am a sister to 3. I don't know but I don't mind it, but there are a lot better nicknames for me than Sis. "Oh Well"!
Thank you all for your prays for Vi I will update you when I hear any word. I also need some pray for my other friend Alexandria. She is 11 and yesterday she was doing a handstand and forgot to stand on her hands and she stood on her head and popped her neck. when she went to the Chiropractor it was very swollen and he did not want to pop her neck incase of further damange. She is going to the doctor to have X-Rays (and she should be there right now) and pray that it is nothing serious and will be easy to fix. Well I guess I am just full of pray requests.
Today we went on a field trip to Wild Oats(the organic grocery store). It was very interesting. Some of our friends went and my cousins and us.
Well that is all for now,

Wednesday, June 6, 2007 - Vi needs your prays! |
Hello everyone,
I would like prayer for an old friend. She is very good friends with my grandpa and when I met her I liked her and now we send letters and emails back and forth. She is older she is in her mid 80s. Anyhow the reason I would like pray for her is because she has pneumonia, she was released from the hospital or is going to be released soon. I would like pray that she gets much better and that it won't get any worse.
School has went ok today. my aunt made me do an hour school and have a 5 to 10 minute break and than another hour. After three hours of work my aunt let me have a 30 min break. I am trying to finish the rest of my literature and writing booklet ( the schooling that I am doing this year is ACE and you have what they call paces, and they have anywhere from 27 to 43 pages in them,and you have to complete twelve of those in a year. I am on my last one in literature and writing.). In literature and writing I have a book I have to read with each pace. The book I am reading with this one is Treasures of the Snow. It is an awesome book so far. I was surprised. It is sad as well, but I recommend you read,you won't be disappointed.
Well that is all I got to say for right now,

Tuesday, June 5, 2007 - my aunts house and CPC! |
Hello everyone,
Sorry I haven't been on in a while. It has been a busy week. I have been trying to finish my school and if everything goes well I should be done by Friday or Monday of next week.
Today my mom,brother(Jared), and I are going to stay at my aunt's and uncle's house. My mom is doing some training for work and didn't get done till around seven-thirty,so she did not want to go all the way home. We will be staying in my aunts spare bedroom. I like her house a lot. After school she lets me watch tv which I think is cool. My family does not have cable or stuff like that at home, we can only watch dvds or vhs,which is cool as well.
All the animals are doing well. In July I am going to horse camp. I will be bringing Vixson. Horse camp is sooooooooo fun,we do a lot of activities.
The Walk for Life was so fun. I won first place in my age group. I raised a total of $1,492.00 . it is a great cause and think of all the women and teens and babys I have helped. I am very glad and I thank all the people that has sponsored me,from the people my mom works with to my grandparents,they helped me raise this much and I couldn't of done it without all the people that sponsored me.
Thank you and y'all have a wonderful night,
Makayla |

Hello Everyone,
The last few days my allergies started to prove that they are there. I had a stuffy nose, sore throat, and a headache. I am feeling better now that I started taking my allergy medicine. I totally do not like allergies.

Cream together the above ingredients and then add
4 cups of oatmeal

Saturday, May 26, 2007 - Concert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Hello bloggers,
I went to the concert last night. It was awesome!!!! I got to meet Kellie Pickler,My aunt took a picture of Kellie and I, I also got her autograph. I wanted to get Taylor Swifts autograph, but I couldn't even see the end of the line,she had about 1,000-2,000 people in her line and the staff had to cut some of the people off because Taylor's hand was getting tired.
Brad Paisley did an awesome job as well. He sang a song called, When I get where I am Going. He dedicated it to all the famous people who have died, Johnny Cash,June Carter Cash,Steve Irwin,Ronald Regan, the people who died in the Virginia Tech shooting,and several more people I can't remember the names. It was awesome,Taylor Swift did an awesome job as well as Jack Ingram(who was a little to loud. And of course Kellie Pickler did a good job. When I get the pictures sent to my mom's email I will defiantly post them.
That is all for now,

Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - tree fell, Oh deer |
Hello bloggers,
Yesterday we had a wind storm in the night and a tree fell on my grandparents house . It was a huge tree and it split in fours and fell on their roof. It damaged the roof pretty bad. There are several holes that my dad will have to fix. And the bad part is that it rained most of the day yesterday. We are thinking that the tree was struck by lightning, (there was a thunder and lightning storm that night as well). I hope all turns out well.
Tonight for dinner we are having barbecue steak,potato salad, and baked beans.
The Walk for life is going very well I have a week and four days left to raise money,and so far I have raised $ 802.00. My goal is 2,000 dollars,but I hope to at least make a thousand if I can't make it to two thousand. My friend Sierra is doing it as well she has raised $ 250.00 so far. I am very proud of her,she is doing a very good job,two thumbs up.
Well I probably should go I don't have any more things to say, I have to start making the potato salad.
God Bless,

Saturday, May 19, 2007 - Mom is home. |
Hello bloggers,
My mom is home! Man, she got a nice tan. She got me three bracelets and earings matching, she said we could share them which is fine by me. She got a pink earing and bracelet set, a turquoise earings and bracelet set, and a red coral earings and bracelet set. She got a pure silver dolphin bracelet especially for me. It is so pretty and a little heavy. She also got me and my friend a dolphin shirt and some pens. She had a fun time and I am glad she did, she deserved it.
My mom is making some homemade bread. She uses Crystal Miller's bread recipe. I would link her name, but it doesn't seem to be working.
The most disgusting thing happened this morning. We had a guest come and I opened the door and stepped out , and I guess there was a web that had some baby spiders on it, I guess I didn't see it. I walked into it, and didn't realize it till two of them were on my face, and all over my clothes and shirts and hair. I was disgusted,my mom cept on slapping my clothes and killing the spiders to get them off of me. I ran to the shower and took off my clothes and jumped in, finally after washing my hair I think I got them all out. I don't think I will be using the front door today.
Well that is about all,

Friday, May 18, 2007 - Water Problem fixed and mom is coming home!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Hello bloggers,
Mom is coming home tonight. Her plane comes in at 8:30pm. I can't wait to see her again. My mom got my friend Sierra and I some stuff from Mexico. She got me a skirt and a dolphin shirt ( I love dolphins, they are my favorite animal) . She got Sierra two dolphin pens and a dolphin shirt,matching mine.
Part of the water problem is fixed. The sealing for the hose were it connects to the spring is broke and some dirt and stuff clogged up the hose. We have to put some new sealing stuff and the problem is fixed. We did clean it out, but it will clog up within a couple hours. But in the mean time it started working and filled up the chicken water and the pig water, but the horse water is still not working. Which is not that bad,cause I have a hose hooked up to the pump,so I only have to turn the water on,so that is easy. "Yes", now I don't have to pack 5 gallon buckets till this evening.
My dad gave my baby brother Jared a haircut, it looks awful. His hair is, being generous a millimeter long. He said," he must of used the wrong guard", I said "you think". I have decided I will try to get a ride with a friend to church for the early service and then ride home with them( my parents go to the second service). Then I won't have to get the comments what happened to your brothers hair, Oh, are you talking to me. They probably wouldn't say that, but it still is embarrassing. No offense to the people that have had to have Chemo therepy,but my brother he looks like he is taking Chemo therepy. Mom will never forgive dad for this one.
Well that is all for write now,

Thursday, May 17, 2007 - One more day left and mom will be home. |
Hello Bloggers,
This morning has been very interesting. Yesterday when I went to go do the chickens I noticed that their water wasn't working,and I also noticed that the horses water and the pigs water was not working either. My Grandma and I checked the levers that turn the water on and off, they were both on. So that means we have a hole somewhere in the line from our place to a mile up the road. And we have to check everything over carefully for the hole in the line, but until then we have to pack water .
We have a faucet that is by the chicken coop(that is where I have been getting the water to pack to the other animals). It is hooked to our well, the other water is hooked up to a spring up the road. So this morning I hooked a hose to the faucet and put the hose in the horses water so it can fill up, hey it is better than packing a 5 gallon bucket. Than I filled the chicken and pig water,and I will have to do it again this evening.
So that is how my morning started.
I also talked to my mom this morning, dad woke me up at 5:00 so I can talk to her. Yes I was glad to talk to her, but why 5:00. At 5:00 it is 7:00 there time. She is going to a sea park today to SWIM WITH THE DOLPHINS. Today is their day off, until 4:30pm and than another 6 hours of meetings. She said she won't be in till 11:00pm. What a long day.
Well that is all for write now, I will write more this afternoon or tomorrow.

Wednesday, May 16, 2007 - Day four, and surviving |
Hello Bloggers,
Today has been a lot better than yesterday. Linda rocked Jared to sleep around 11:30am for his morning nap. He must of been dreaming of mom. He did that sucking movement with his lips as if he were nursing. It was so cute. Then he talked in his sleep and said mom-ma, and then went back to sleep. Poor little guy!
Today for lunch we had some plain Bagels and some cream cheese. I haven't had that in a while. My Grandpa had to go to Therapy yesterday and offered to pick some grocerys up for us. I thought that was nice of him. He also picked up some fruit and milk. With four boys in the house who are all big milk drinkers, we go threw three gallons of milk a week, I know it is a lot of milk,but at least it isn't pop. At least it builds strong bones.
We had some startling news. One of our neighbors saw a black bear on the corner of his property, which is an inch from our property.He owns 16 acres and we own 21 acres and a fence surrounds the property, and he saw the bear in the wooded area by the fence. Several other people have seen one around were we live. I was very nervous. And today our babysitter took Jared to play in the back yard and she heard a loud noise. She was very nervous and she took Jared and went inside. A couple weeks ago Matthew ( the oldest of the boys) and I were investigating around the property and found a bears nest. I hope this bear just passes by and does not stay here long.
Well I think that is all for the day.

Tuesday, May 15, 2007 - I am Surviving Day 3 without Mom |
Hello Bloggers,
Well I am surviving day 3 without mom. It is getting harder. Jared is missing mom a lot, He is used to nursing at night and when he takes an afternoon nap. We have been trying to give him warm milk, that helps a little,but he still cries and whines.
Our babysitter Linda Willis is very nice. She is one of my moms friends. She is sitting with the boys watching Pete's Dragon, I have never watched the movie, but from the parts I am listening to it sounds funny.
So what have all of you guys been doing? How has your Tuesday been?
I caught the chicken that was eating the eggs. I was going down to check the eggs the day before yesterday and I noticed that there was a chicken that was pecking at something, then it turned around and I noticed it had fresh yolk on its beak and some shavings. I finally caught it after doing several laps around the chicken coop. We have a cage that is black and it is like a netting material,so there is a lot of holes in it. Anyway, I put some shavings and a handful of chicken feed and some water in a container and put the chicken in there. I will probably keep her in there for at least a week. Dad said they are probably lacking something in there diet, so I gave them some leftover oatmeal that we had had the previous day, and several leftover pancakes. They loved it. I also gave some to the chicken in the cage. I hope we will have no more egg eaters.
I hope you all have had a good day and I will most likely write a new entry tomorrow.
Your faithful writer,
Makayla |

Saturday, May 12, 2007 - Grandma's b-day!!!!!!!!11111111 |
Hello Readers,
Today we are celebrating my grandma's 63 b-day. Her actual b-day is the 14,but mom will be gone to Mexico that day. My aunt is coming up and her husband, and I think a couple other people are coming as well. I had to help her dust the house, it is amazing how much dust builds up during a month. I love cleaning other peoples house, EXCEPT, my own. I like keeping a clean bedroom and all, but I do not like folding clothes,washing dishes, and so on and so forth.
The weather is looking pretty nice for here. The"Weather people say " that it is supposed to be in the 80s by Wednesday. Mon 72,Tues 78,Wed 84, and back down to the mid 70s the rest of the week.
Lets see, a little more about what is going on around here. Well my chickens are laying about8- 12 eggs a day. I have a egg eater in the coop. The chicken eats an egg a day, it is driving me crazy. Checking the beak for yolk does not work, I already tried. If anyone knows how to tell which chicken is eating eggs let me know. The horses are doing very well. The dogs are doing well, Except Emmet, he is getting old, and he is such a good dog, Bear on the other hand is more stupid than a post. He is a Chocolate Lab, and he is hiper. Well that is about all. All the other animals are doing fine.
bye for now,
Makayla

Aloha,
Today My mom went to the doctor and went shopping.Emily babysat us. Her sister Sierra came over to play with me. Of course we had to do school, and then we watched a movie called Bicentennial Man. It was an interesting movie.
I want to thank everyone for there lovely comments on my blog. I am glad you like reading my blog.
It has been kind of calm around hear for a while. Jared my youngest brother just woke up from a nap, and Luke my second youngest brother is taking a nap. It is amazing how calm and peaceful they look when they are sleeping, and when they wake up they can turn into little monsters. And Matthew is playing outside with Sierra's brother Isaac.
Well that is about it for the day. I will write soon.

Wednesday, May 9, 2007 - I had a ear infection after all |
Hello,
I ended up having an ear infection after all. The doctor gave me some antibiotics. He gave me Amoxacyln. Believe it or not it is my favorite medicine. It is bubble gum and mmmnnnnnn it is good. I don't do very well swallowing pills, I usually gag, so that is why the doctor gave me liquid medicine.
My mom is leaving to go to Mexico on Mothers Day she will be gone for 6 days. She is going on behalf of her work. They will be going to a fancy part of Mexico. I can't spell the name so that will have to do. The company is going to provide an activity for them, and guess what it is. SWIMMING WITH THE DOLPHINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so upset. I love dolphins,and she teases me saying do you want me to get a picture of me swimming with the dolphins,MOTHERS. Speaking of dolphins, I have some cool facts about sea animals in one of my books.
SHARKS-Sharks usually swim about three miles per hour. But they can put on bursts of speed. When hunting, some reach 40 miles per hour!
Sharks teeth are not in one row like yours. Sharks have as many as 20 rows of teeth.(I would hate to meet the shark that had the 20 rows)
THE BLUE WHALE-All whales are big. But the blue whale is the BIGGEST. It's as high as a two-story building! It's as long as three buses! It's as heavy as twenty elephants (wow wee)! It is even bigger than the Tyrannisauras rex(T-Rex)! The young calf (The blue whale's baby)of the blue whale nurses about 40 times a day. Every day , it guzzles about 130 gallons of milk,and gains 200 pounds a day.
DOLPHINS-Dolphins are small, toothed whales. They are the biggest group of whales with teeth. Bottle nose dolphins are the largest dolphin,besides the Orca whale. The biggest dolphin is the Orca whale (killer whale). Orcas hunt blue whales for there big tongues! (euuuuu). The tongue of the blue whale is the Orcas favorite meal.
Well there is your facts about some of the sea animals. I will try to write more tomorrow.
Thank you for reading my blog

Hello everyone,
For the last couple days my ear has been plugged. I know it sounds weird,but I can't hear out of it and it makes me so dizzy. And I just cleaned my ear out with a Q-tip. My mom put some ear drops in my ear, but it doesn't seem to help. tomorrow my mom is going to see if I can get a doctors appt. I hope I will feel better tomorrow.If you have anything that made your ear feel better when it hurt and was plugged let me know.
On Saturday the 4-h club that I go to are planning a ride. We are going to practice the basics and start getting ready for horse camp and fair. We are going to ride at the fair ground's arena. My mom just moved my horse and Star ( my mom's horse) into a different pasture, we have three pastures and they eat the grass down pretty fast. Our cows are in with them so they help a little. Anyway, we moved Star and Vixson (my horse) in the smallest of the three. They haven't grazed in there a while so the grass was a little below the knee. They enjoyed being moved. They didn't give my mom any trouble, they pretty much galloped into that pasture. I had to walk Vixson around some today, she is old and she was getting stiff, she was falling asleep while I was walking her. Man,how lazy can you get. To show how stuffed they were and couldn't bare staying away from the delicious grass, Star was laying down eating, now that is pathetic.
Today was one of those days were the weather couldn't make up its mind. It was rainy,hailing,sunny cloudy,warm, and cold all in one day. I would like a couple days of sun shine so we can plant our garden. We don't want the seeds to wash away.
So far for the CPC I have raised $665.00. My goal is 2,000 so I have a little ways to go,but I am getting there. Well I am going to go to bed it is around 9:00pm. And I have a big day tomorrow.
Good night,
Makayla

Hello,
Today my mom let me do a math lesson and that is it. Thank goodness! It is a beautiful day and she wanted us to get outside and enjoy the weather.
So far I have raised close to $300 for the CPC. I just have to keep calling people. I get nervous when I'm talking to someone about the CPC or any other thing. There are a lot of ums in that conversation.
On Saturday my friend and I watched the movie, End of the Spear. It was very sad. It did not have tons of blood in it like I thought it would,which was nice. If you have watched the movie tell me how you liked it.
Well it is a beautiful day today. It is supposed to be getting into the 70s. Well I think I will go outside and play. I need to groom my horse as well. Bye for now.

Monday, April 23, 2007 - CPC, and more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Hello,
Our family has been sick with a cold for the last couple days. I was the first to get it and past it on to my little brothers. I hope they will get well soon.
I am trying to get people to sponsor me for a Walk that I am doing. The walk is called the Walk for Life. It is with the CPC ( Community Pregnancy Clinic). I will tell a little bit about the Clinic.
The Mission of the Community Pregnancy Clinic is to minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ in both word and deed to women and teens by: Providing compassionate help and hope to those who find themselves unprepared for pregnancy.

The Walk for life is the NUMBER ONE fundraiser of the year. The goal of the CPC this year is 30,000 dollars. In 2005 I raised 1,037 for the CPC and my goal this year is 2,000. I hope you will help me make this goal. To sponsor me you will have to provide me with your address and Name( last and first) . Some of you may not feel comfortable doing that I understand. But those who will like to sponsor me instead of writing me a comment send me a message instead. That way your address will not be showed to everyone. I will give an example of what the form will look like.
First name ----------------------------- Last name ---------------------------------

City/state---------------------------- ------------ Zip--------------------------------
add to mailing list ( yes or no)
Amount you would like to sponsor 20,30,50,100,( you do not need to do these amounts. If you would like to sponsor more or less or example 25 dollars you would tell me and I would put that on the form.The CPC will send you a bill in the mail to put the money in. I hope you will sponsor me.
THANK YOU

Monday, April 16, 2007 - Amusing day |
Hello, April 16, 2007 8:30pm
Today I woke up around 6:30am to go to work with my dad. He needed some help so I went with him. We got back around 10:45am so I got a late start on school but I got it done.
Did anybody hear about the attack on the college. I believe it was the Tect college. 33 people died and 20 were wounded. It is sad when stupid people do that to innocent people. It is sad what this world has come to. I just hope that the people who died were believers in Christ.
Tonight my Grandpa is taping the CMA (country music awards) awards for me. I like country music. Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Josh Turner and many more are performing. I can't wait till tomorrow when I get the tape. They will be going on till 11:00pm tonight. Mom didn't want me stay up that late because of course we have a busy day tomorrow.
My dad said this week if the weather is nice we might go on a trail ride with the horses. My horse needs to get back in shape. It wouldn't hurt my dad's horse to exercise either. Warrior ( my dad's horse) loves to eat. He about founders every winter. Foundering is when a horse eats so much that his hoofs start to turn outward and he starts limping and pretty soon they won't be able to walk on there feet. And they usually have to be put down. It is a very serious illness. Some of the signs to foundering before it gets to late to do anything about it is there neck will start getting stiff. The part were the mane grows out will start getting fat and hard as a rock. When it gets to that point you want to do something fast. Usually you put them in a pasture that has no grass just dirt, and give them a fleck of grass hay a day. Until the swelling of the neck goes down. There that is a little information about founder.
Since melly guessed the last trivia I will write some more( good job melly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
True or false? Bees must collect nectar from two thousand flowers to make two tablespoons of honey?
True or false? Some frogs can be frozen and when they un thaw they can live again?
There is your trivia. You all have a good day.

Friday, April 13, 2007 - All about today |
Hello,
Today my horse was shod and the other horses were trimmed. Vixon does a good job standing still while getting shod.
I had a Wonderful birthday. I got a lot of neat gifts. My friend Sierra gave me the cd from Taylor Swift. She is a very good singer. I also got some movies, One Night with the King and Loves Abiding Joy. We never were able to go to the zoo on my birthday. It was raining on and off all day. Instead we went out to lunch and had a party at my house that evening. I had a lot of fun. In a little while for a family movie night we are going to watch the movie End of the Spear. It is about the missionary Jim Elliot and his friends going to preach the gospel to this tribe of Indians(Wahoni).
You guys and girls still haven't guessed the trivia Question. I will list them again.
True or False? It takes an ostrich egg 17 min to hard boil?
True or False? A chicken lays an egg every 26 to 30 hours ?
True or false? After laying an egg a chicken starts to reproduce another after 30 minutes?
Our pigs are just about ready to butcher. They are getting really big. We bought one ton of pig feed and that will be are last ton we will buy. I will be soooooo glad when we butcher them. More meat in the freezer and we don't have to smell them, every time we go up the driveway. I know it sounds mean but come on pigs are very stinky. And they are cute when they are babies, but when they get older they are kind of ugly.
Well I hope you will guess the trivia. I always like guessing trivia. Thank you for reading my blog and I will try to read yours.

Friday, April 6, 2007 - Baby,Easter,and my birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Hello everyone.
My aunt is now a grandma. The baby boy was born on the 4th of April at 1:16am in the morning. He is a cutie and his name is Hayden.
Little bit of trivia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
True or False? An ostrich egg takes 17 minutes to hard boil?
True or false? A chicken lays an egg every 26 - 30 hours?
True or false? After laying an egg a chicken starts to reproduce another one after thirty minutes?
Today I gave my horse a bath. She does really well. It was very warm today so she didn't get cold. What makes me mad was after I gave her a bath I waited a couple minutes and let her go into the pasture and she rolled in the mud. And of course got all dirty. But I guess you have to have patience. I guess I can look at the bright side, SHE WILL BE NEEDING ANOTHER BATH SOON.
My birthday is four days away. For my birthday I plan on going to the zoo. Weather depending. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!! I am already saying I am twelve. I was born at 12: 28am in the morning, so when I wake up on the 9 th I am twelve.
This Easter is going to be fun. My friend is coming over for Easter as well as my grandparents and my moms friends.
It will be fun. We will have a feast. And I hope all of you have a fantastic Easter. It is kind of annoying when you go to look at Easter stuff and there is all that bunny stuff and eggs. You are lucky to find a cross in the Easter section. Easter is a great time of year to know that Jesus arose from the dead after dying on the cross for OUR sin. The least we can do is put some stuff in the stores about the true meaning of Easter.
God bless everyone. Have a wonderful Easter!

Monday, March 26, 2007 - Town girl today |
Hello,
Today my mom is working in town. My youngest brother Jared and me are staying with her untill mom gets back from work. She is a really cool aunt. She will be a Grandma soon. She is not old, She is 40. The grandchild ( which is a boy) is due April 6. That was my due date when I was born. Maybe this baby will be born on my birthday.
Last night my dad, matthew, and I watched the Nativity. It was an awesome movie. It was sad as well. They did not add anything that was not true.Dad and Ireally liked it. I would of hated to live during Harod's rain. He was a very evil man. Which is your favorite movies. Mine are the Nativity, The mummy and the mummy returns ( the title sounds scary but it really is not a scary movie), Pirates of the Carribean( not for sure if I spelled that right), and my favorite older movie is Mary Poppins.
I can't wait till my birthday. I am counting down the days. I can't wait to be twelve. It is exactly 2 weeks and one day.
Well I think that is enough writing for the day

Wednesday, March 21, 2007 - It works! |
Good morning,
That is so weird the computer works fine on my mom's computer. Maybe my dad's computer had something wrong with it last night. Or the whole site had something wrong.
I just got back from feeding the animals. My dad lets me use his tractor. Which I think I look cool on it. I enjoy feeding the animals. I like getting outside BEFORE school. I have to feed our pigs,pewwwwww. My dad will be butchering them soon, which is disgusting to watch.
Today is Awana's. My mom won't be there tonight. She is going out of town for work. She will be leaving before Awana's and coming back tomorrow evening. Yeah, I know I will be stuck at home with my dad and my three brothers . I will have to clean house cook at least lunch and dinner and so on and so forth. I believe mom will try to ask one of the people we know to babysit us,Thank goodness.
Well I should probably get back to school,

Hello,
Today my mom made fresh bread. She uses Crystal Miller's recipe.
I would like to share my devotion for the day with y'all.
The up and the down of it
For
you have delivered my soul from death and my feet from stumbling,that I
may walk before God in the light of life. (Psalm 56:13.)
Jim moved from one house to another with his family.The new house had
almost the same floor plan as the old. Split level, with living area on
the main floor,family and laundry in the daylight basement,and bedrooms
and baths on the top floor.However, there was one difference. The
stairs were in reverse position to those of the old place-the ones that
went up in the house went down in the new one, and vice versa.
One night Jim came home from his friend's house a little after his
family went to bed. he carefully locked the front door behind him and,
not wanting to bother anyone with a light,he headed for the stairs and
started up to his room.
Crash,Clatter,Bang! Down the stairs he fell. Jim had forgotten about
the difference in the stairs.Luckily he wasn't hurt, just a few bruises
jere and there.
A whole lot of people your age and older are stumbling around in this
dark world. sooner or later they are going to crash.They either don't
know or won't believe that no one can live happily and
successfully unless he walks in the light of God.
I like that story a lot. hope you enjoyed it.

Hello,
Today has been very busy. It snowed today. It was so suprising when I
woke up and there was snow in the ground. I can't wait till it is
summer. When is your favorite season?
Tomorrow is church. That means waking up early. I don't like waking up early. I like sleeping in. Well it is getting kind of late.
Goodnight,
Makayla

Hello, 12:46 pm
It was a very busy weekend. My cousins came up and visited. We had a good time. Yesterday my mom, my friend and I watched the movie Flicka.I thought it was a very good movie. Tim McGraw plays as the dad in the movie.
Thank you all for praying. She had a safe delivery . It is a boy and he is eight pounds and 1 ounce. He is a cutie from what I heard. Thank you again for your prayers.
I can't believe it is almost March. Well in a week and a half, but still that isn't that far away. In two to three weeks my family will be going to the Grand Canyon. We will be going to the San Diego zoo and Sea World on the way to the Grand Canyon. Sea World has Dolphins, Whales, Sharks, and a whole lot of different things. I can't wait. I will take pictures and list them on here. I will try to get as many as possible. If you have been to any of these places tell me about it.
Well I am going to have lunch.
God bless you,

Good morning,
Thank you Sally for the idea. I will have to try it. In case you didn't read what Sally said I will tell you. She heard that if you feed your chickens cucumbers they are supposed to lay more eggs.
Happy Valentines Day
Today is Valentines Day. Most people don't know what Valentines Day is all about. Valentines Day is about a man named Valentine, imagine that. Anyway he was a christian man and he was put in jail for preaching the gospel. Later he was released and he preached to people again. In the ending he died because he wouldn't stop preaching the gospel to people. The meaning of the story is he loved others more than his self, he was willing to die for them. It is a pretty sad book.
Let me know what your favorite Valentines day was.
God Bless,
Makayla

About today, 4:36 pm
Today was hard for me. I do not like Mondays. I have to wake up early and do school. It is hard getting back on track. I hope everyone had a good day today. Let me know what your most funniest, weirdest Monday. I don't know which one is mine. I have had so many.
Our pigs are about ready to butcher. Don't you just love butchering pigs. We will probably butcher in the next couple month's.
I haven't taken any pictures of myself lately so I will tell you a little bit about how I look. I have brown hair brown eyes. I am not chubby, I am in the middle between chubby and skinny. I am 5 feet and that is about it. Now you can let your imagination do the rest.
I can't think of anything else to write at this moment. I will have to call this good.
God bless,
Makayla

Wednesday, February 7, 2007 - About today |
Hello all
Today so far has been very busy. I did school this morning and ate lunch and took a little break. I was reading Little women during my break. It was a lot better than I thought. The book is 537 pages and I am on page 444. I am getting there.
Tonight is awana's. In case you don't know what Awana's is I will tell you.
Every Wednesday we meet in the evening at this school. There is four age groups.
Cubbies, Which is ages 2-4, Sparkies, k-2nd grade, T&T,3rd-6th grade, and jr high.
I am in T&T. My parents are the Cubbies leaders. I have to help mom with the cubbies stuff a lot. In my class we have story time for 15 min, then we say verses. We have four different books that have verses in them. We memorizie them say them to a leader and have them checked off. Then we have game time. And the verses we said adds points to our team, but you shouldn't memorize them just so you get points. You should memorize them and put them into practice. Then at game time you get split up into four teams. The team with the most points gets a candy bar. But if you don 't win you get a piece of candy at the door for being a good sport. Hanemlee are our song leaders. thank you hanemlee. It is fun! It is a chance to have fun and learn about God at the same time.
My brothers have this big animal book and I marked some different pages that has a few different facts about animals . I want to share it with you. Here you go!
The King Penguin is the second largest penguin in the world. The King penguin will dive to a depth of 200 feet when it is hunting for food. It eats squid and other types of fish.
The anaconda is the biggest snake in the world, even larger than the Old World python. The anaconda has been known to attack jaguars. The largest reported anaconda is 26 feet long. ( Man, I would hate to meet him or her. )
There is your Trivia for the day. Pretty amazing.
The last question I asked you was, When was the first compass made. I will give you a hint it was between 1000-2000 A.D. This question was in my science.
Well That is enough trivia and writing for me for a while.
I'll write soon

Dear everyone, 2/3/07 6:51pm
Today was an ok day. My friend Sierra Came over. I will let Sierra say a few words later.
Sorry about yesterday. I mess up my dates sometimes, Especially when we start a knew year. Instead of putting February I put January. It seems like last month flew by.
The last trivia question I did was not a very good one. Lets try this one.
Is a Whale Shark a Fish or a mammle. In other words does it give live birth or does it lay eggs? Please answer. I love doing trivia questions.Especially when I know the answer.
Bye for now,

Thursday, February 1, 2007 - work out time |
Hello,
I just got back from the gym, I was working out with my mom.
It is important to get your exercise, right. I help with the animals, not everyday but at least four times out of the week.
I messed up on the last trivia question. It is not mice it is rats. I'm not for sure if that will make a whole lot of a difference .
well it is time for me to get my pjs on and settle down in my bed with a nice book.
For now,
Makayla
