Not Knowing

Today I stuck a sticker on my mom's back. She still does not know. She looks pretty funny. I don't think she will find out until she reads my blog or when she takes a shower. I love my mom. She is loving, caring, helpful, and she is a teacher too. There are a lot of other things that she is but I am not going to list them all right now.

A Day with my Friend

Two days ago was my best friend's birthday. Her name is Miss Linda. We went on a walk down Morris Road, Miller Road, Gharet Road, and Silverbrook Road. We picked flowers, threw rocks in the creek, caught sleet with our tongues and collected rocks from the creek. It was a pretty good day. I enjoyed myself and she did too. She said that it was the best birthday that she has ever had. I believe her. She said she would write about it in her journal. I gave her a plant called Hens and Chicks with a pretty card. I gave her one a long time ago, but when she had eye surgery, she forgot to water it and it died. So she was happy when I gave it to her. She is the best friend that anyone could ever have.

A Walk with my Mom

My mom, my little sister, and I went on a walk about two weeks ago. It was a nice day. It was the only nice day we have had in the last three weeks. I picked two daffodils. I gave one to a friend of mine and the other one is in our window sill dying. I need to throw it out. While we were on our walk we looked at a little creek. It was beautiful. And then we looked at a really ugly pond like thing on the side of the road. It had a lot of algae in it and no living creatures.

Hey Mom, thanks for letting me walk with you.

My Cat

I got my cat when I was 4 years old. I have had her for six years. The story on her is that my dad went to go visit some friends on his way home from his school in Vancouver. He came home and told Matthew to get his dirty clothes out of his bag because he had spent the night with his friends. He did not have dirty clothes. He had a cat and when Matthew opened the bag the cat climbed out of it. Matthew named her Precious. I had the saddest face on when two cats did not jump out. Then my dad said, "Oh, I forgot my computer at their house." So he went back and of course he had to get another cat, not his computer. When my dad got home he told me to get his computer out of his bag, so I did and another cat popped out. I named her Elisha. She is so pretty.

She always comes for breakfast when I shake her food bowl. She reads with me in our hammock for thirty minutes. She eats lunch with me. The funny part is that she eats what I eat a lot of the time. Once I had soup and it had cooked carrots in it. I cannot stand cooked carrots but my cat loves them. So I gave all the cooked carrots to her. She had a pretty good lunch and was very happy. Sorry Mom.

My Little Sister's First Birthday

This is my little sister Larah's first birthday. She turned 1 on January 4th. She has never had her own cake before. You can see she was a mess. Larah has had cake before when someone was feeding it to her, but not all by herself. She is so cute. If you were with her for five minutes you would know she's a keeper. She knows how to play peek-a-boo. The amazing part is that she is good at it. She is so grownup. She can say Papa and Mama and she is a good copy cat. When you say "Mmmmmm" she says "Mmmmmm". I am so glad she came into our life a year ago.

A Gift From My Papa

This is a necklace that my Papa brought me home from the UAE. He was invited to the United Arab Emirates to teach one on one discipleship. I think the necklace is so pretty. I wear it almost every Sunday. I asked him what type of wood it is made from and he said that the people he bought it from did not tell him. I will treasure this forever.

My Bracelet

This is a bracelet made out of an ostrich egg. My dad went to Botswana, Africa on a mission trip and he brought it home for me. Even though it is made out of ostrich egg I still think it is very pretty. Before this trip he went on another mission trip to the UAE and brought me a necklace home. I am going to post about that soon. I wore my bracelet to church today and of course I wore my necklace too.
