Dance Rawr Dance!

Family Force 5 is on tour with Jonezetta and TheSecretHandShake! I'm really hyped about it even though I wont get to see them. Jedidiah Clothing has some stuff about the Dance Rawr Dance tour and I am going to try to get one of the t-shirts. This is a pretty boring post and I'm not on Blogger a lot anymore 'cause I have a Myspace now. It is a lot more exciting and has a lot more stuff about FF5 on it than this.

I Dyed My Hair!

For my birthday, my mom let me get red stripes in my hair. In certain light, it looks pink because my hair is light brown. Yesterday, my mom took me to get my hair cut shorter because it is getting hotter and I had mentioned dying my hair before so she let me while I was getting it cut as a birthday present. My sister got a hair cut too. She cut off ten inches of her long hair to donate to Locks of Love who makes wigs for kids who don't have any hair. We went to visit my mom's parents and they were surprised at both of us; me for dying my hair and her for cutting it all off. My grandma even asked me to make sure it has red stripes when we get our whole family's pictures.

Yesterday, I went to an open house for the fire college where my other grandpa works. They showed how fast a fire can spread from a trash can in a bed room. In three minutes the temperature was twelve hundered degrees. When they put out the fire, there was so much smoke that I could not see two feet in front of me and afterwards my just cut hair smelled like smoke. It was depressing(Actually, I had a lot of fun). My week has been exciting!

My Birthday!

My birthday is on June fourteenth which is only fourteen days away! If you read my post titled ''Summer!'' and payed attention to the dates of my things to do, you can see that I will be at band camp in Iowa over my birthday. Some stuff that I want for my birthday are an mp3 player, saxaphone of my own(I rent one right now), some c.d.'s, and whatever else my parents think that I will like. I didn't even notice that my birthday was that soon until my ten year old sister said so. I can't wait!

My Brothers

nnnnbnnn kkjbvff vvvbbbbbbbbhhgggsxxhxcvjk v xxzz.That was my yougest brother's typing. He is one and a half years old. He is sad so he is sitting on my lap while I am writting and he just started pushing keys so I let him because it made him happy. Now he is leaning his head against me. I think he is tired. He keeps saying something and I can't figure out what it is. It is hard to describe what he was saying in writting. My other brother, Isaac who is three, is climbing all over me. I guess they must love me a lot. Oh, Josh is asleep. What can I do, my leg is asleep and my butt hurts. Oh well, at least I'm at the computer!

More Stuff to Do This Summer

O.K., I have another camp to go to this summer. It is called F.C.A. which is a sports camp. It stands for Fellowship of Christian Athletes. It is for three days in July. I think it starts on July eleventh, but I'm not sure. I am going to do softball. I did it last year and had a blast, but it was hot. They serve you breakfast and lunch. The whole camp is free, also.
When I go to Iowa for my band camp this summer, my family is going to make a two day vacation out of it when the camp is done. We will rent a hotel and go see the Mississippi River and go to the zoo. There is also some more stuff that we want to do there, but we don't have it all planned out yet. So, my summer has gotten busier.

I Like the Header for my Blog

This picture was taken specifically for my blog's header. I'm not really playing in this picture, I'm just posing. This isn't even my saxaphone, it belongs to the school. I left my own at the school that day so I had to use the school's tener. My saxaphone is an alto, which is smaller. I play this tener for jazz band at the school and I play my alto for regular band. If you look in the background, you can see another picture of me that was taken by a professional photagrapher. I think that is funny. Why does my mom put pictures of ourselves in our house? Hm, strange. Anyway, The shirt that I am wearing was from my band when we played with the highschool marching band. It has tigers on it with marching band hats. The tiger is my school's macot. I think that the header is a little overwhelming but I don't know how to make it smaller. I like it anyway, though.

My Dog

My dog's name is Natal. He is now seven years old and we got him when he was three months. He is a black lab and German shepard mix. He is a good family and guard dog. His birthday is on Christmas day. He is very good to my younger brothers who are three and one. They like to climb on him and pull at his ears and hair but he just sits there and lets them.If he gets really anoyed, then he will just stand up and walk away. But recently he had a problem.

About three months ago, my dad noticed a bump on Natal's toe. He thought it was just a sist and nothing to worry about, but it started to get bigger and bleed so we took to him to the vet. They said that it might be cancerous so they would have to cut some of it off and send it to the lab to be tested for cancer. We waited for about a week to get the results back. It was positive. Natal had cancer. I am just thankful that it was only his toe.

The vet said that they would have to cut off his toe and hope that it had not spread up his foot. They cut off his toe and told us that they would have to send it to the lab again to make sure they got it all. Natal looked miserable. He had his foot wrapped up in a cast and he limped. He could'nt walk very well and we had to keep my brothers away from him. We had to put his food and water bowls on a stool so he would'nt have to bend down and put pressure on his toe.

We got the results back from the lab. They had got all of the cancer! My dog was cancer free! He is doing fine now. He is back to his old self again. All he lost was a toe when he could have lost his whole foot or even his leg. I love my dog Natal!

Summer!

School is almost out! I get out of school on June first. There is no school on monday because it is Memorial Day and I have school on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Friday is the last day but it is only for an hour and you don't even have to go that day. I am so excited! I have a lot to do this summer.
On June tenth, I go to Iowa for a week of band camp(Actually, it is only for six days). On June twenty second, I move to a different town. The last week of June, my grandma is having her wedding renewal and all my family is going to be in town; all of my aunts, uncles, cousins, my dad's aunts, uncles, and cousins(it is my dad's mother's renewal),and every body else on my dad's side of the family.There will be, like, seventy people there.On July first my mom's sister is coming to visit from Florida with my uncle and my cousins. As you can see, my summer is busy.Except for August; I can't think of anything I am doing in August. Other than that, I have an exciting and busy summer!

Broken Finger

I broke my ring finger on Friday, May18. I was in second hour P.E. playing catch with a softball. My partner threw the ball to me and I caught it. I jammed my finger when I caught the softball. I wanted to scream out in pain because it hurt so bad. I thought that my finger was just bruised, but later I found out that it was fractured.
I had a field trip that day after second hour, so I was miserable throughout the entire day at Skate Land and Old Orchard bowling and mini golf. I tried to ignore my finger, but it still hurt no matter how hard I tried. When I was at Skate Land, I was pulling some tickets out of a game and saw how bad my finger looked. It was so swollen, that it was twice it's original size and all blue and purple. I could barely move it now because it was so swollen. I survived the rest of the day until I got home.
When my mom saw it, she wanted to take me to get it x-rayed.When my dad saw it, he knew that it was broken and he and my mom woried that I would not be able to play at my jazz band concert that night. To make sure that I could still play, I tried to play one of the songs but it was impossible. I was not going to be able to play that night. I was planning to at least watch the concert, but, again, this was not going to happen.
My mom called my band director to tell him that I could not play then she called my grandparents to tell them not to come because I broke my finger. Then, my mom took me to get it x-rayed. I was there for two hours so I completely missed the concert. They buddy taped my finger together with the one next to it because it was just a fracture and not a clean break.
So you see how such a little thing as a broken ring finger can mess up a lot of other stuff including people's plans.

Moving(Again)

I have moved so many times and now I am moving again.I was born in Illinois, then moved four more places in Illinois. My family dicided to move to Virginia. I lived there for two years then moved back to Illinois again. Now I am moving again. I am always excited about moving, but every time, I'm not as excited. Don't get me wrong,I am excited about moving, but not as much.
I have moved so many times, that I am not as nervous about new schools anymore. My family thinks that we will live here for a while, so I wont have to keep going threw the moving process again;or at least not for a while.
My family likes the new house and the town that it is in.There is a lot of room for my brothers and my dog to play. We have this little pond in our back yard which is about five feet wide. There are two frogs that live in it.The front yard is fenced . Now that I think of it I am excited about moving!
