Meet Malee..

After two years of waiting.. and waiting.. and waiting... we finally got our elephants back. They were sent to Tulsa for what was suppose to be a year, to meet this male elephant..... Finally, after two years, the Oklahoma City Zoo got what they wanted. A baby elephant! <3 Guys.. Meet Malee.. And her mom and aunt.. [I can't remember their names..]

I took about 50 pictures of her with her mom and aunt..

and about 120 of her all by herself.

Lets go flying

Up. Up. and higher. {Do you like tire swings?} i do. I'm trying to find a tire. A tire that doesn't turn my hands black when ever I touch it. A tire that can hang from a tree and spin around and around, until you're so dizzy you fall off.

I'm not sure what I should post about. I don't have much to post about. I feel bad posting just photos all the time, but I deleted my photography blog, I wasn't happy about it. Maybe I'll start over? Sorry I haven't been blogging much, Summer came fast

We got 22 chickens, two puppies, one snake, one turtle and one cat. All in all, we have 27 animals to take care of. That's really not that many. I think my parents are trying to turn our entire yard/house into a chicken farm. Chickens, chickens, chickens. We got this wire wrap around fence for the puppies, but I think its been used for the chickens more than the puppies. We got a 10x10 kennel for the puppies, but I think its used for the chickens more. We have this gigantic dog house for the puppies, but I see the chickens in it more than the puppies. My Dad and Joshua are building a big chicken coop for (ahem, drum roll please) the chickens. Dad said he'd build me one , with air-conditioning and a floor. (Kidding, though he said he would) I would paint it bright green, and inside I'd have clouds painted on the ceiling. We're going to have a lot of small {ish} large {ish} "buildings" in our yard. Speaking of puppies. I wanted to tell you we got a new puppy. My favorite puppy, Lacey (We named the two puppies we got, Cagney and Lacey) was hit by a car last Friday. So my mom got another puppy (Since Cagney was used to another dog being with her, we didn't want her to be alone.) We named her Lacey-too. (Yes, I do mean too) Mom said if there is a Cagney, there is a Lacey too. (If you click on the names, it will take you to a picture) if you want to see more pictures of her, go to my flickr page here.)

"Oh I hate this! Its revolting!" "More?" "Yes please!"

I apologize for being so random with post titles. I just enjoy doing that. Right now it is snowing! (Finally! I thought it wouldn't snow this winter!) The smell of hot chocolate and cookies are in the house, I just finished up a letter to one of my friends and a mug of hot chocolate. I'm making cookies also. Sweet Potato Cookies. They are my Nana's favourite. (My Nana lives across the street) She called and asked me if I would make them for her. So that's what I'm doing, making cookies and blogging. Lovely combination. I'm also watching a movie called "Cool Runnings" its about the first Jamaican bobsled team competing in the Olympics. Its based on a true story!

Rachel wanted me to tell my readers about Mittens. Remember Mittens? When we first found her she weighed 3 pounds. Just three pounds! Since then she's gained at least 3 more pounds. Last time we took her to the vet she weighed 6 pounds, but thats been a quite a while. We decided a few days ago that we weren't going to keep her, we were just going to foster her until we found a good owner. Because she was terrified of the little boys and she was always hiding, also she wouldn't come out of her crate. But then these last few days she's been so different! She rubs against her leg, and she actually wants to be picked up, she is also exploring the house now, and she's much friendly! So now we've decided to keep her. So confusing.

And here are the lyrics to a song I've been enjoying!

Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it’s more than you can take
But you are stronger, stronger than you know
Don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard
Impossible is not a word
It’s just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody’s scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It’ll be alright
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

Overcome the odds
You don't have a chance
(That’s what faith can do)
When the world says you can’t
It’ll tell you that you can!

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do
That's what faith can do!
Even if you fall sometimes
You will have the strength to rise

God bless!

Noch eine weitere zufällige Post.

Aren't I the confusing one? I think only one of my friends will be able to read the title, without using a translator. I really like German. A lot. I got a tiny little English to German, German to English dictionary at the bookstore the other day, its very helpful, I like it a lot. Speaking of Languages, my mom has started me on Latin. I'm not so sure I like it yet, its interesting and I think today it made some sense.... Why oh why does this always happen to me? Every time I sit down to write a blog post (When I have time!) I can never ever think of something to say. I guess this shall be a very random blog post, because I have lots of random facts/information to share.

Let's start with Black Mint Gum. Yeah. Black Mint Gum. Its good, but the black part of the gum looks weird. Its just sort of weird chewing a black piece of soft mint tasting stuff. Random...

I'm currently working on two short stories for a children's magazine. I'm also edited one of my short stories I had written a few months back. One of the short stories is actually about writing. Maybe I'll post it after I get it all written. I should probably post a chapter or two of my NaNo novel. Though it isn't done yet. Its January, back to writing!

I've started a photography blog. I had one before, but I didn't like it, and it wouldn't let me post pictures because of the template. You can now find my photography blog here. I'm sorry if the template is kind of a mess, I'm working on it soon though!

Well, this isn't as long as I wanted it to be, but it will have to work for right now. I'll try and get on tomorrow and write a real blog post! Oh, by the way, do you like my new template? I still haven't gotten it all set up, but I'm working on it!

God bless!

Cookies and the Doodad.

I thought since most people's post titles today would be Happy New Year! Or 2011! I would do something different. I could have always titled it 1-1-11. All one's today. But as you can see, I didn't. I made cookies today, for my older brother Joshua's birthday. He'll be 16 on Monday! **Falls over** We're having hot wings for dinner tonight, yum! Anyway. Here are a few pictures, starting off the new year! I just had to show my readers two of the doodad. I know I've been posting a lot about him, but he's just so adorable ♥

The Cookies : "Never ending row of cookies"

Doodad : "Adorable little curls ♥"

Doodad : "Cottage Cheese!"

There you go. And thats all I can think of. Have a great new year!

God bless!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Years everyone! May God bless you in this new year!

God bless!
