Here are some of the long-awaited pictures of the state fair I went to for my birthday! There were lots of amazing animals, including a little bunny rabbit named DOOM. Haha!

The Presents Coming to Use

I got many great presents for my birthday last week. Among them were:

• From Hannah: An Obama shirt, a bag of black licorice (yummy!), a photo of me and her, a photo album of camping, an Irish button, and a CD of the amazing video she made!
• From relatives: 2 $25 iTunes cards, money
• From other friends: 3 earrings, 5 mini-hand-sanitizers, Julia Child's book, Julia Child's cookbook "Mastering the Art of French Cooking," a cute set of tablespoons, and "Catching Fire"
• From Mom and Dad: A "Stay Fresh" shirt, and the Mary Poppins 45th Anniversary Edition DVD

I've gotten much use out of all of them, I've watched Mary Poppins about 3 times over, I've started Catching Fire, I've bought a bunch of songs on iTunes, I've put the money in my wallet, I've worn 2 of the 3 earrings, I've worn the Obama shirt and the Stay Fresh shirt! They are all AWESOME!!!

Thanks so much everyone!!

Happy Birthday to Me!!

Today is my birthday!!! Even though school started, we didn't have to be there til 11:25, so my friends and my mom and my friend's mom (those super-sneaks, them) they brought all my friends to the Family Pancake House and surprised me!! They gave me some really awesome stuff, too, including MASTERING THE ART OF FRENCH COOKING BY JULIA CHILD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love my friends!!!

Bad Weather, Good Things Ahead

For the last three days, it has been not summer weather AT ALL. It has been rainy, cloudy, and cool. It's almost like fall!!

Oh, well. I have many great things to look forward to!! I'm going camping with Hannah on Friday, and that will be AMAZING. I am really excited!! Then after that I have..........well.....nothing of much interest. Just school supply shopping (boo hoo! Summer's almost over!), hanging out, and stuff. Oh, and my birthday! I almost forgot!!! How could I?!? I'm not sure what I'm doing, but I'll concot something to do with all my bffls.

Well, must go now. Bye!!

Ta-Ta for Now!!!

Here I am posting from my cousin's house. We drove here yesterday from my grandparents' hosue, where I was from Tuesday through Friday. I had lots of fun. Last night I had fun playing soccer with my little cousins and playing the moron test on my cousin's iTouch. Today we are leaving for our annual vacation to Idaho, where we go every year for a week. I always have so much fun there. Unfortunately, I have zero internet access there, so there will be no posts for a week on The Most Awesomest Blog Evah! But there will be many after I get back!! Adios!!

Also I would like to say Happy Birthday to my cousin!! Happy Birthday Ethan!!

Have a Happy Birthday...

I would like to recognize a very special person today. Let's see if you can guess who she is.

• She has a very nice blog which she started in May of last year
• She went to Washington DC over Spring Break
• She has had three family members die, but just added seven new members
• She has one cat
• She is a die-hard Hillary Clinton fan. She also likes Obama.
• She likes to climb trees

Can you guess who she is?????

It's HANNAH!!!! From the famous blog "Chicken News." (If you haven't checked it out yet, see the side bar labeled "Super-dee-duper Blogs that I Like.")

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HANNAH!!!! WE ALL LOVE YOU!!!! OH AND HAPPY YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF YOUR LOVELY BLOG!!!

May: A Big Month Ahead

May is going to be a very good month for me. Here's why:

• I said "Rabbit" this morning
• A volleyball tournament tomorrow and Sunday
• My aunt's birthday on the 3rd
• Cinco de Mayo
• Hannah's (from Chicken News) birthday on the 6th
• The last dance of the year on the 8th
• Mother's Day on the 10th (oops...gotta conference with Dad about that one...)
• My cousin Jamie's birthday on the 20th
• NO SCHOOL on May 22nd: LEAP Day
• A VERY AWESOME low-key volleyball tournament over Memorial Day (okay, so it's not low-key, but it doesn't really count for anything except a pat-yourself-on-the-back-if-you-win.)
• I get to mark down the days until school gets out. On the last day of May, there will be 15 days of school left!! EEK!!!!
