I just went to see the movie "Twilight". I went with two of my friends. We got there almost two hours early and there was already a line. We sat in the very top of the theater. It was such a good movie. I am planning to go see it with more friends. Almost everyone loves the movie. Some people said that they hated it though because it was to different from the book. But I thought it was great. All of my friends have been so excited to see it. It was so worth the wait!

My Walk

On Saturday I went to my grandmothers house. We ended up going on 3.2 mile walk. There is a farm on the way and stopped to take pictures. There were horses and goats and rams and chickens and a lot more! It was a lot of fun. We walked by ponds and tractors. Everyday my grandparents and there neighbors go on this walk. So then we all went together. When we got back home we had a snack the baked rasberry bars. They were delicious!. I had fun spending the day with my grandparents.

SICK!

For the past 5 days or so I have had tonsillitis. It hasn't been very pleasant.

My tonsils are red and swollen. I have small white sores on my tonsils. The second day I woke up and I had sores along my lower front gums. I looked at my mouth this morning and I had red speckles on the inner part of my top lip. When my throat first started to hurt I had red dots on the roof of my mouth those are pretty much gone. But my mouth still kills. It doesn't even feel like a normal sore throat. It pinches when I swallow.

Luckily my mom found medicine the my sister was supposed to take when she had strep. We had a full bottle so I have been taking that. It has helped so much it is like a miracle! I have to spend the next day or so out of school. I have already missed 2 days.

A Fall Day at the Beach

Yesterday I went to the beach. It was just my mom and I. We brought our dog Lily. I ran through the water with my dog. We walked up and down the beach. I wrote names in the sand. My sister was out with her friends and my friend had ust left my house. My mom offered to take me somewhere so we went to the beach. The water wasn't actually that cold for fall. We walked up and down the beach barefoot! I had so much fun.

Fun in the Fall

A couple of days ago my mom, sister, and I went to a place in a near by town. There was a bridge and some walking trails. It was very interesting when we went down the trails. There was foundation mill the used to be there. In this picture my sister and I were about to walk into the trails. We were on the trails and we found bricks in the ground. It was really cool. The trail ran along a river the whole time. After the trails we went to a farm stand called "The Laughing Crow". It had great decorations! The signs that were there were homemade. It was so much fun.

Hanging Out

Today after school field hockey was cancelled because of rain. I ended up having my friend Rachel over. We played guitar hero and hung out at my friend Shannon's house. We had lots of fun. Before Rachel had to leave we went out side and sat down on skateboards and went down my driveway. I actually stood on the skateboard a couple of times. I can actually move on a skateboard and I'm not that bad. I had tons of fun.

Fields Hockey Game

Today I had a field hockey game. We lost 8 to 0, I think. I did pretty good on defence though!!! I have practice every day this week. No time to hang out with friends.

New Moon

Right now I am reading the book New Moon. I read Twilight and it was a great book so I started reading the second one. I think that so far the first one is better. My mom read the series and she was half way through the third one and she hated it so she returned the third and fourth book. I like the series so far. If your looking for a book to read this is a great book. A bunch of kids at my school are reading the series. One girl likes it so much that she is reading the series for the sixth time! So it must be really good.

Last night I slept over at my grandmas house. I had lots of fun. Today I went out to the back of her house an built a faerie house. It's made out of rocks, sticks and leaves. I worked pretty hard on it, so I hope that it stays up fr a while. There were quite a few red leaves on the ground, so that's what I used. After that I collected leaves and brought them inside and drew them. I havn't finished it yet. When I do I will put it up on my blog.

This is one out of 2 of our cats. He is our newest. We got him in September '07. His name is Phineas. I think that he is adorable . How can you not? It's really funny when he attacks my dog Winston, he hits him and jumps on him. It's really funny! Every morning he runs up and down the hall. He is so cute.

I love to play field hockey. This is me playing at a jamboree. Teams from all over the state came to the local high school and played games. Each team had five 25 minute games. It was a very long day. I left at 11:00am and got back at 5:00pm. It was worth it though. I have to practice every weekday after school. I don't get home until around 5:45. Then I still have to do homework. It is worth it though.

A couple of days after we went to the tall ships my dad ran a 10k (6.2 miles). The finish was right next to the ocean. Here in this picture I was looking for crabs. I ended up finding one but then it scurried away. I was very sad.:(. I took one of my best friends, Fiona, with me. It was lots of fun. We threw huge rocks in the water. Fiona and I each held about 4 rocks then threw them in at the same time. It was a huge splash!!!!
