4-H Season

Well, if 4-H goes on in your state, you know that it's fair season. For my county, judging is the 15th and fair is the 16th through the 20th. Today, I've been working for hours on my french horn history project for music and it's becoming a complete failure. My mom had the...GREAT idea to glue the timeline to my board instead of taping it which made it look even worse than before. But I'll get it done...eventually.

None of my projects are done, and no one wants to help. I have 9 projects, and all my mom wants to do is focus on my brother's 5 projects which he doesn't even want to do which is very unfortunate, but I guess I can't change her mind. I've already made her seriously mad a few times too many.

I guess while she sleeps, I'll go ahead and do my clothing project. I decided to find an outfit themed casual for under $20. I found a long-sleeved shirt with light fabric kind of a blue-ish green-ish color with buttons half-way down the middle. It goes with a pair of long 5 R jeans from Lee's that were really cute and to finish it off, a pair of Emu boots for $4.50.

My mom and I had never heard of the brand so just a bit ago, I looked at them. I got a pair similar to these and I was like. "Oh my, God. I got THESE boots for just a tiny price." And they're in awesome quality and JUST MY SIZE!!! And I promise you, they'll be worn plenty and a few questions might be asked about how I got them by a few of those girls who dream about shoes.

Anyway, very excited, but I gotta go work!

Birthday Week

Hello, readers! Sorry not to've written in so long! I had a fun time with my grandparents and other family this 4th of July weekend. What about you? My grandfather began to teach me archery and I'm sure we'll do more of it when we go camping later this month. My brother tried, but his little nine (almost ten!) year old body can't pull back the thirty-pounder. =)

Now, the reason I'm here is because I'd like to tell you about birthday week. In my house, we have three birthdays in a week, not to mention my grandma's.

My dad's was yesterday. We got him a John Deer shirt, a green plaid shirt (button down), and I got him a piece of wood that said "A father is a person who puts pictures where his money used to be." I liked it a lot.

Yesterday was also my grandma's birthday, but we never saw her or gave her a call, but Brandon got a present and Mom and Dad got cards because Grandpa must've dropped them off and we didn't even know it.

Tomorrow is my mom's birthday. She'll be turning the big 40! We were so great that we got her presents YESTERDAY while we were at Walmart because we needed pop and TP.

Anyway, since she doesn't read this blog, I can tell you that because she's going to Connecticut later this month, we got her an airplane pillow, luggage tags, a phone case, and a nice card. The card says, "You must be a really great Mom..."-open it-"because kid's like us don't happen to just anyone!"

It also came with a cool bag with butterflies because she really likes butterflies. =)

And on the 14th is Brandon's birthday. I, honestly, haven't gotten him anything, but he wants a mini ping-pong table. So I'm going to go look into that.

We'll see you later,

Geneology

Well happy day-before-4th-of-July! I've been working on my fair projects because our 4-H county fair is in less than two weeks and I signed up for nine! Lately, I've been working on my geneology because that one's going to take a lot. I worked on it during the school year as an EAGLE project, and now I've got to put it all together in a tree. I've used Ancestry, which is really awesome, but now I need to put it all together. I've bought a tri-fold board and that's where all my ancestors are going. I hope to have pictures soon, but now, I need to finish!

By the way, if you're thinking of doing the same, or a family project, I'm going to individuals on Pages like this:

And it's going to go like that for the almost 300 people in my tree. Wish me luck and I'll tell you how I do! =)

T.V.

I've got three shows for you. There's kind of two topics or "perks" of watching them.

1. You can be on the shows.
2. And you can win things and vote on some things.

Not to mention that they're all funny/action packed. =)

The first show I've got is American Ninja Warrior. It's very action packed with very strong people trying to cross the courses to become the first American Ninja Warrior. It's very fun to watch them to go through the difficult courses to see who wins.

The second show is America's Funniest Home Videos, which is very funny. It's some 25 years old or something and most of you have probably heard of it. Well, let me just say that it's worth it to watch. Very funny, you'll love it, every Wednesday.

The last show is Wipeout. There are some different competitions and themes that they have and the Johns (hosts) are very funny, too.

I hope you check out these shows and like them. And I apologize to any people who aren't Americans who can't watch this show, although hopefully there are some from your country.

Oh! And another show you might want to look into is America's Got Talent. This show is awesome. There's a whole bunch of different talents and it's a show worth watching! So check out this one two!

That's all the time I have, but I hope to see you later on my blog!

2048

So maybe movies weren't such a hit, but who doesn't like games? I was gifted with this app thanks to a recommendation from my cousin about a game called 2048. 2048 is a thinking game, but not necessarily a math or multiplication game. You add up numbers (Ex. 2 + 2 = 4) Then you keep going and your goal is to keep going until you get to 2048. The tiles slide on a 4x4 board. I know this sounds really confusing now, but it'll make more sense later when you get it! You can find 2048 on the Google Play Store, Amazon App Store, or wherever you buy games.

Happy playing!

Movies

You've seen fonts and book suggestions. You've seen lots of things here, really. But how would you like to see movie recommendations? I've seen some really good movies lately and I've wanted to share them, but wasn't quite sure how. Because who cares about that when they can go on and on about the carnival in town (you'll hear about that later).

So my first movie is called Raising Izzie and I'm seeing it right now on the UP channel. I've seen lots of their movies and shows, and they've always seemed sketchy and like they all had the same plot, but this one is a little different.

Raising Izzie is about two girls who are living on their own-and they have been for awhile. Gertrude and her sister, Izzie, live alone and no one really knows. Gurty can copy her mom's signature and make excuses for why she's not there, but that's getting harder and harder. One day before school, Izzie leaves the heater on and doesn't shut it off. When they get back that night, they're apartment has been burned down and they have no where to go, so they go to Gertrude's junior high and try to sneak in, but they find her teacher there and everything is spilled out. She takes them home and...well, I can't tell you. =) I'm watching it right now but I can already tell it's going to be a great one! =)

The next one is another I watched today on UP. It's called Love Finds You In Sugarcreek, Ohio. It's about a baseball player who's life was murdered and he just wants to get away to find somewhere where his son, Bobby, can just be a normal kid. And then he meets a police officer there, Rachel and he starts to fall in love. But then...you'll have to watch the movie to find out. =)

I hope you find these movies and watch them because they're really great. They're similar to ones on Hallmark, but a little different.

Fonts

Neglecting my blog, I've done it again! I guess I've been so busy with softball and haven't had time to do things that I usually enjoy.

Although I've neglected my poor blog, I also have to say that lately I've become obsessed with fonts. There are some really cool ones that you can just download and POOF, an awesome story that looks pretty professional.

Here I have some links to the places where you can get them. I also have some for the upcoming 4th of July for all those Americans out there! =)

It may be bad that some of them link to another blog, but I love her blog so much! What a tough woman!

This is where you can download these fonts.
