Last Night

Last night was the second time I've gone to youth group. So far, aside from waiting till midnight for my dad to be done with practice, I like it and think it's fun.

Last night we played two games outside. In one of the games you had to roll a ball with your head from one side to the other side. The other game you had to crawl with the ball between your knees or your ankles to the other side.

Then we went inside and ate pop corn while they talked about the new series we are going to start. I am looking forward to the next youth group meeting.

My Puppy

I have one of the best dogs ever! She is so cute and obedient.

Okay, so sometimes she's not totally obedient. But I still love her.

Although it was almost four years ago, I remember the day my dad brought her home like it was yesterday.......

I was playing next door with my friend Chaunte when her older sister came and told me my dad was bringing home a puppy. I was so excited that I waited for Jasmine (that's her name) on my swing set. She was the last girl puppy, the runt. We didn't have food or anything for her so we had to run to the pet store, puppy and all. She was a good puppy. She loved to sit on our laps, and now that she bigger she still thinks she can sit on our laps. Jasmine will always be my little puppy, no matter how big she gets.

Book Review: The Golem's Eye

I just finished book two of the Bartimaeus trilogy; The Golem's Eye. This book is by Jonathan Stroud and takes place in England.

The main characters in this book are Bartimaeus( a djinni), Nathanial a young magician, and a girl named Kitty Jones.

Mass chaos is going through England, an unknown figure is destroying big tourist attractions and the mysterious Resistance has unleashed a crazed afrit( a powerful djinni) who is killing people at random. Nathanial's career is on a thin thread as he fights to gain power.

I am glad I am reading the books in order, because if I wasn't, I would have no clue who or what anybody was. I like these books for their continuous excitement. I would definitely recommend them, but you should read them in order. The first book is called The Amulet of Samarkand.

School

All through out the summer I have been doing little tidbits of school. Like math, spelling, and language. But after Labor day we are going to start a new curriculum. It is called Tapestry of Grace. In this curriculum first we are going to be studying the ancient Egyptians. We also get to help plan our week. I am so excited and cannot wait.

All my friends started school last week, and I'm still on summer break!

Summer

I had a very eventful summer this year! I went to church camp (as I have told you in the past),
my sister and I went to visit my grand parents and my aunt and uncle in Arizona, I went camping with my family, and to finish my summer my other grandparents and my other aunt and uncle are coming to visit next week.

My time in AZ was really fun. My aunt took us (me, my sister, and my cousins) to lots of fun pools to beat the heat. My grandparents took me to fun places too. Like the Arboretum with all the beautiful plants. Also, a place that had Native American ruins. I'm glad I went to Arizona, even though I missed my parents and my brothers.

When we went camping at Starved Rock, I got to bring my friend Sarah. It rained a lot while we were there. Although, we didn't get to go hiking, we got to fish ( I didn't catch any fish but like my dad says it isn't called catching it's called fishing) and swim. Through the rain I still had fun being with family and friends.
