Photos...

My nose looks big.............
you can see my freckles!!!

this one is my favorite. It looks like the light is shining right on it.

What I've been up to...........

Nothing much, but it is still exciting for me! I tested last week in ballet to see if I could move up and start beginning pointe. I passed with a score of 93 out of 100! Now I will have a much needed break before stuffing them in those pointe shoes in September.


I've also been excited about a photography contest at the library this summer. Basically we had to take some pictures and submit three that we think were good enough to win. Still haven't found out yet, but I will add a post soon on the winners. Here are some samples of the photos I've been taking this summer. I was trying to get some good photos for facebook and just being bored.

Sick.........

I HATE being sick. Sure, it has it's pros and cons, but whenever I get sick, it seems like I always miss out on something fun. Here are some examples.

1. In fourth grade, my teacher (he was really awesome) had planned a Popcorn, Pop, Pizza, and a Povie at Pills house. (Povie is movie and Pill is his nickname.) Then I was going to sleep over at my best friend's house. When I woke up that morning, I had a fever. So we had to call my friend and cancel. I was really bummed.

2. In 2005, we planned a vacation to South Dakota. At least a week before I got sick so we had to bring my big nebulizer along too. I still got to go, but it wasn't as much fun as it could have been, with me coughing and weezing all the time.

3. In third grade, I was starting to get sick a couple of days before my birthday, but I had my party anyway, the day before my birthday. Then the next day I was much more sick, so I had to stay home from school on my birthday. What makes it worse is that we were having a valentines day party on that day too, so I missed that too.

4. This year, I was sick on my birthday again! (I hope this pattern doesn't continue.)

I could probably name a lot more, but I don't want to bore you, so I'll add one more.

5. This week was signs and wonders camp. I was going as a teen helper. On the Friday before the camp, my throat got really sore. I thought it would go away before then. On Monday, I left for camp with a good supply of cough drops and kleenex, but on Wednesday I was running a fever, so I called my dad to come and get me. There's always next time! I just hope that I won't get sick at the next camp later this year.

Dreams

It's been a very slow summer here in KC. Monday brings Signs and Wonders Camp here in KC. This year, due to bad and rainy wheather, instead of sleeping in tents at S and W, we'll be sleeping in the Forerunner School of Ministry building. The funny thing is, I recently had a dream about it. A lot of parents in the dream were mad at Lenny LaGuardia because they thought it would actually be a CAMP, while in my dream, they just slept in their sleeping bags with a blanket beneath their sleeping bags. Stranger still, I had this dream 3 days before I found out that we would be sleeping in FSM. This is probably my first prophetic dream this year. Last summer I had a dream about the end times that actually affected some girls in my tent at S and W camp who were really scared about the end times.

Today was an eventful day. Zach, who is 17, was mowing the lawn and found a 5ft black rat snake! Then he found a small turtle! Then Obe, the Dinsmore's new puppy found a dead bird and started eating it! The problem was that there were maggots in the bird. My mom scooped up the bird with a plastic bag and threw it away. It was really disgusting. Next week is Signs and Wonders camp, where I will be a teen helper. Some of my friends will even be there from different states. Signs and Wonders is a really fun camp. We sleep in tents and play capture-the-flag and swim in the Hernhut pool. There's worship and teachings too. I am really looking forward to it.

Hey! So sorry I haven't posted anything in forever, I've just been kind of busy, plus I forgot my password. oops! Here some photos that I took during my photography class at school, taught by non other then Shelley Paulson!
