If you know Sara, you know that she likes to read, likes to play soccer, and is very nice. You also might know little things like she rides the bus, has two older siblings, and won the school spelling bee. What you might not know, or maybe you do, is the fact that she is moving to Idaho. It is very sad. She and her parents and their little dog, Doogie, have been packing for Idaho lately. Her sister, who is in college, is staying here and her brother is moving up to Seattle. When I first heard about this, I was very sad. The saddest part was I heard it from Gooby, who was also very sad. I still am very sad, but I hear Idaho is a nice place, and the temperature's better. Sara said she'll still visit and stuff. I got to talk with her the other day even. She came over to drop off a book. She got to meet the dogs. And I think she liked them! Me and Sara still have e-mail, and I'm pretty sure she reads my blog often. Even though she doesn't comment (ahem...) lol.

Friday was the first day of school.
What Katy gave me for my locker...
Katy gave me a bunch of stuff for my locker and I thank her for that. She gave me these cute little magnets that you put pictures in. She also gave me this little pen holder thing that I will use to hold chalk for my chalkboard and other things. Oh, and she gave me a digital clock for my locker. Isn't that awesome! Well, of course, Katy's awesome!
Other stuff for my locker...
I got bottom locker but I'm ok with that. All I have is a chalkboard and a corkboard and a mirror besides what Katy gave me.
The school..
This is the school's first year. It's not even finished. The library isn't ready and my homeroom doesn't have all the tables we need. It's a pretty school on the outside but inside it's kinda boring.
My homeroom...
Paxton's in my home room. And Mrs. Blackwell is my homeroom teacher. She was Courtney's teacher when she was my age. And the lady that does Mrs. Blackwell's hair, does my hair too.

My Nose!!!
My nose!!! My nose!!!
Owwwwieee!!!!
First time
Here's the scoop, the other day I went to Katy's and we were jumping on the trampoline. Being the long-legged scardycat I am, I tightened up when I did my flip. I was afraid I would hit Kye or Bailey since they weren't that far from me. I curled up too much in my flip and hit my nose on my knee. It hurt really bad and it's been swelling ever since. It's very sensitive.
Second Time
Well, yesterday I was at Katy's house and I leaned against the ladder and hit my nose. Not only was it bruised and swelling more, it was scratched and bleeding a little bit also. I am going to have a very large nose when I get back to school...lol

I will start with this great story and even though it is long you should read it. It is 100% true and it happened to one of my mom's friends. Her name is Kathy and she is the head of a women's ministry called Transformations Ministries .
If you believe in angels, this will make sense to you, if you don't your mind might change.

A Great Story
Miss Kathy was about to take a plane to her friend's house. She had hurt her foot and was walking to the door of the airport when an Asian lady walked up to her. She said "God told me to come talk to you." Miss Kathy didn't know what to say. The lady then said, "God says to put your foot in Winnegar." Kathy had the lady spell it for her and found she was talking about vinegar. The lady added that the friend Kathy was going to see had vinegar. As she started walking towards the field, she turned and said "And God said your husband has to eat lots of pineapple for his heart." Miss Kathy watched her walk far out into the field, and disappear. After all of this, when her friend had picked her up from the next airport and was driving her home, she told her about it. Miss Kathy's friend said she did not use vinegar for anything and had none. Miss Kathy said she would just have to see. When they got there they looked in the cabinet and found a brand-new thing of vinegar. They prayed and poured it into a bowl for Kathy to soak it in. After about an hour they took it out and it didn't hurt at all for the rest of the day. The next day, when she woke up, it hurt again. And again she soaked her foot and it felt better for the rest of the day. She did this for a week and God told her to stop, so she stopped. When she got home she told her husband about it and he went to the supermarket and came back with a whole lot of pineapples!

Katy
Last night me and Katy went outside. We talked and watched Bailey and Kye play and told Mrs. Andrea when Kye decided to jump into the road and right in the path of a coming car. It was fun. We sat on the mailbox and chatted and did the stuff we always do. I hope Katy will be home tonight!

School
I am no nerd nor freak...I like school! lol. I am so ready for school to start. And I can't wait!!!! It's this Friday!!!

Gymnastics
I was watching this gymnastics competitiion last night and I saw this girl land a cartwheel back-tuck on the balance beam. It was so cool! I have gymnastics today at 3:30. Bailey is starting tumbling because she wasn't getting all the stuff in gymnastics. I had my front limber kickover as a beginner and she hardly has her running round off rebound. But it's ok.

Lisa
Lisa got a blog! yay! You have to visit it! Ifm you know me but not her, then I'll tell you, she's a great person and you'll love her blog! click here!

Katy
I sat by Katy during church service and afterwards it was raining. By around 7 or 7:30 it had stopped and we went outside. We climbed on mail-boxes and sat on the monkey bars. It was fun. But when I tried a flip on the trampoline, which I can usually do and land, I hit my nose on my knee. Ouch! It was ok though. We just hung out and talked.

A cold chill ran down my back as I stared at the peculiar house. So large and scary, I couldn't help shaking. And the people inside were worse... I gulped when I saw the lightning strike above their house.

That's definately not Lisa's house!!!

Her Party
I loved it! Her birthday was July 24th but she couldn't have a party 'cause she was in El Salvador. Well, she invited Leta, Faith, Morgan, and myself to her party which was yesterday.
The Theme
The theme was 50's. I didn't wear a poodle skirt but I rolled up some jeans. I wore a band in my hair with dice earrings, and some ribbons around my neck.
Dancin'!
When I got to Lisa's house we danced to 50's music in front of the video camera. We also danced to Romanian music but that's beyond the point. Movie!!
After that, we went to see Sky High. It was my 2nd time seeing it but it was good.
Swim Swim Swim!!!
After that we put on our bathing suits and went swimming in Mrs. Deborah's pool. It was fun! We played Dive Dodge Ball and Categories. And we just swam and did stuff on the pool and diving board. It was fun except when I got hurt in Dive Dodge Ball. In Dive Dodge Ball, the person that is it has to try to hit you with an inflatable ball and you have to dodge it by diving into the water andavoiding it. Well, I ran down the diving board, about to jump, when my left foot slid off the diving board and I spun around, scraped my right shin on the diving board, and went under in a strattle. I was bleeding a little but it was ok.
Cake!!!
The cake was...DELICOUS!
A little Overview of the Rest
We fell asleep around 1, we got up, Leta wouldn't wake up, Faith looked creepy when she woke up, Morgan didn't spend the night , and we had pancakes and 50's ice cream sundaes for breakfast.

Some things I find very strange... Yes, they are all real!

Cats taking Pepto Bismol

Spenser hanging out in Katy's garage.

Birkleigh escaping from the yard, but coming right up to the front door and knocking. (scratching)

Ryleigh has a spot on his side in the shape of a heart.

Cow poop in the shape of a perfect heart.

A bunch of people think disco was the '60s...No way!

My birthday is the day before school starts.

A big ball of slobbery red feathers. (Cat got your bird?)

The piano playing itself.

Courtney going to sleep with frizzy hair, and waking up with a perfect ponytail. See A Scary Story, June 12 for details.

Life questions...

If someone took a rocket to outer space starting in Antarctica, would it go faster?

Is it possible to press your tongue to your nose without pressing your nose down lower?

Are all boys born with stupidity? Or just the ones I know?

Well, that's all I have for today!
Just thought I might like to show you.

Hangin' Out With Katy
Of course, me and Katy were hanging out yesterday. We just kinda hung out and talked. We went into my back yard and jumped on the trampoline and ran around with Birkeleigh. It was fun. She called today but I wasn't home. We might go outside and watch Kye and Bailey while we talk after dinner.

Megan and Her Dog
Megan came by earlier today. She brought her adorable 5-week-old chihuahua. He was SO cute!!! His name is Mocha Latte. Isn't that adorable? It was nice seeing Megan too cause she just got back from her Grandma's house.

Cafe Rue Orleans
Earlier today, for lunch, we went to the wonderful and delicious Cafe Rue Orleans. Mama got fried oysters, Bailey got fried shrimp, and I got fried croffish. The fried croffish dinner was so good!!! I loved it. I couldn't even finish it all it was so big. But I ate most of it because it was so good! We went to Landrys in Branson the other day and it wasn't as good, their croffih wasn't very spicy. But Cafe Rue Orleans has the best food ever!
