Violin

Hey! As you guys may, (or may not) know. I play the violin! It is sweet! We just played a concert. Our pieces were, Fanfare Allegro, Cello's Ole, and Themes From Harry Potter. My favorite piece was Harry Potter! Of course! If ya didn't know, I am sorta obsessed by Harry Potter. I have listened to probably a thousand times. Anyways, you all should play violin because it is pretty cool. I played a cool song called "Kanon In D." It goes like: Da-da-du-da, Da-da-da-da-da-duh, dum-da-du-dum, du-da-duha-da. And so on. If you could hear it, that would be cool.

My Little Cousin, Cohen!

My cousin Melanie came over with her 4 mo. old Cohen last night. He's such a cutie! He has the most adorable little hair! It's a mowhawk! I wish I had pics to show you all! Well, I would if I could get my computer to work! Haha! Very funny! He loved snuggling and walking around! When they left, I realized they had the dogs in the car. Gabby and Ruby barked so much! I thought Cohen would cry. But, he didn't he just smiled! I thought it was the cutest thing!

This is a GR8 poem!

This poem was written by a teenager with cancer. She has 6 months left to live, and as her dying wish, she wanted to send a letter telling everyone to live their life to the fullest, since she never will. She wants this to be forwarded so I thought I could post it on my blog, because I think it is the most beautiful poem I have ever read! If you want me to fwd it to you, post your name and email under comments. (If I don't have your email already.)

Slow Dance

Have you ever watched kids,

On a merry go round?

Or listened to the rain,

Slapping on the ground?

Ever follow a 

Butterfly's erratic flight?

Or gazed up at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down,

Don't dance so fast,

Time is short, 

The music won't last.

Do you run through your day,

On the fly?

When you ask, "How are you?"

Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done,

Do you lie in your bed,

With the next hundred chores,

Running through your head?

You better slow down,

Don't dance so fast,

Have you ever told your child,

We'll do it tomorrow?

And in your haste,

Not see,

His sorrow?

Ever lost touch?

Let a good friendship die,

Cause you never,

Took the time,

To call and

Say, "Hi?"

You better slow down,

Don't dance so fast,

Time is short,

The music won't last.

Ever run so fast,

To get somewhere,

You miss half the fun,

Of getting their?

Do you worry and hurry,

Through your day,

It is like,

An unopened gift,

Thrown away.

Life is not a race,

Do take it slower,

Hear the music,

Before the song is over

Beautiful Christian Sister

Beautiful Christian Sister

By: Maya Angelou

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living'

I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.

I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong. 

I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success. 

I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,

My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain,

I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,

I'm just a simple sinner who received God's good grace, somehow!

Pretty is as Pretty does... but beautiful is just plain beautiful!

A friend told me this poem and I have loved it ever since. This reflects on my life. I am a Christian, God Freak, whatever you want to call it. And I'm pround!

A Lesson To Learn

Once Upon A Time,

There was a girl who liked to talk. She could talk about anything and everything for hours straight. When she was in class though, she sometimes talked out of turn. Her teacher gave her warnings, but her talking just couldn't stop. She was not focused. So, her teacher gave her a yellow light in the hope that she would get the message. Unfortunately, she didn't. So, she then got a red light. :'( Nothing better could've happened. She fixed her mistakes by talking to her teacher and her parents and tried to solve how she could reduce the talking and increase the focusing. She then did what she was told to and everything was all better. (::I::) 

Moral: Never get red lights. So, basiclly never be me!!!

The Coolest Song About Llamas Ever!

I couldn't upload the video about llama's, so I'll make one up for you!

Oh, I love llamas,

They like to eat,

Sweet Potatoes,

Or a llama pie.

What is?

What is?

A llama,

Or a llama pie?

It is!

It is!

A pie,

Made for llamas!

You have never tasted it,

You have never smelt the scent,

You have never seen the way,

A llama paid the rent.

Oh,

I love llamas!

Llama Talk!

As you can see, I like llamas! This is a picture of... you guessed it! A llama!!!! No idea what the monkey's doing there. I mean a llama is no animal that can be rode for leisure. In my opinion, I think that they are going hunting for little butterflies innocently roaming along the free world! You should look at my video I found about llamas! Try memorizing it!

This is me at my 6th grade track meet
