Picture Day

Picture Day is finally here! These are my results:

Picture Day

Sunday the 24th is going to be my first annual Picture Day! You can start now or wait until Sunday to go around town, around your house, or anywhere you go, and take pictures of anything that interests you. Send this notices to 2 other friends and pretty soon we'll have 20 people taking pictures Sunday! I'm planning to carry a camera every where I go, in case I see something picture worthy. Be sure to put your pictures somewhere everyone can see them. this is going to be so much fun!

Selena Gomez

Ever heard of her? I actually don't know why I'm writing about her, but I was listening to one of her CDs I got from the library while I was thinking about what to write. I love her music, but the rest of my family hates her. For those of you who live in portland, the Murry Hill library has one CD. If you check it out, just think that me plus like 100 people have checked that out. So cool! So that's today's post. Not that interesting, but it will have to for now. Please comment, and if you have any requests, please post them. (all my cousins are welcome to comment also!)

West Coast Game Safari: Pictures!!!

Here are the pictures I promised!

West Cost Game Safari

Over the weekend, I visited my grandma and grandpa's house. We decided to go to West Cost Game Safari, and it was amazing!!! When we first came in to pay, we saw a baby lemur. It was sooo cute! I bought some food and came out, and first thing, goats and big deer came up and wanted my food! They let the goats and deer run free throughout the park. The llamas and donkeys are out, too! We looked around and saw leopards, bison, elk, lions, cougars, and a lot others. They had a presentation were I got to pet a groundhog, ferrets, a possum, and a skunk. I even got to pet a desert lynx (a small big cat)! But best of all, We got to pet...baby...LIONS AND TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were absolutely ADORABLE! The tigers were my favorite. There were two lion cubs, Sumba and Sophie, and three tiger cubs, Chef, Commander, and Sargent. I hope you get to go to this magnificent place!!! (and if you're going, I can sneak into your car, right?)

???

I was looking at the comments and one reminded me of my favorite book series: Warriors. Warriors reminded me of animals, which reminded me of my pet of the week posts and how I wanted this post to be just about pet of the week, but I have already gone totally off topic, so it doesn't really matter if I put what I really wanted to say because people would be so wrapped up in the other stuff, that they wouldn't pay attention to the important stuff, but I am going to put it in anyway.

In the comments, please tell me what your favorite pet of the week is and why. There are only a few pets left and I may need to repeat some.

New Earrings!!!

On Father's day, I got my ears pierced!!! My parents said I could get them when I was 10, but my birthday is in soccer season, so I convinced my parents to let me get them now. I was really nearveous at first, but I've gotten used to them already. I got to pick the earring, and I got a rainbow flower. It hurt A LOT when they used the gun. I didn't cry though. But having earrings is hard work! I have to use special alcohol to clean my ears every day, 3 times a day, for 8 weeks! I get to finally take them off August 20, witch happens to be my parent's wedding aniversary! Also, August 21, the day after I can take my earrings out, is my dad's birthday! I'm really excited, and look forward to showing my earrings to you! KATIE

How to Make a Catnip Mouse

This is how you make a catnip mouse:

what you need to make one:

• small sock
• catnip
• toilet paper/tissues
• sissors
• string
• sharpie/felt marker

1. First get a small sock that you don't use any more.
2. Fill the bottom of your sock with about half a spoon full of catnip
3. Then, put some toilet paper or tissues in the sock, but don't fill it all the way
4. Tie off the sock where the tp/tissues end. There should be about half the sock left after the tie
5. Cut off the extra sock, and draw your mouse's face with the sharpie or felt marker. Tada!

CAT (cat adoption team)

On Saturday the Friesens and I went to a cat adoption center. We got to go in different rooms and interact with the cats in them. Some of the cats were in cages, though. Before I went, I made a catnip sock mouse (witch I'll tell you how to make in my next post) to give to the cats there. They really enjoyed it! But my favorite cat, or kitten, I should say, was a tiny kitten named Bug. I LOVED Bug! Even though he was in a cage, Alyssa and I still got to hold him! He got adopted a few days later. I guess it's happy he got a home. (my parents wouldn't have let me keep him anyway, but...) That was one of my best trips ever, and I want to say thank you again to Alyssa and Rebecca.

Oh, and have I mentioned I love cats?

Aunt Sarah

My grandma is visiting for the week,and she gave me something that my mom used to have. My mom's Aunt Sarah made it. Basically it's a journal full of magazine clippings of cats! That sounds like some thing I would do!* Great Aunt Sarah LOVED cats too, but she had cats. I'm working on that.** :( So I'm determined to not lose it (unlike everything else), and pass it down for generations to come.

*I LOVE CATS!!!!!!

* Nobody in my family really wants a cat except me. :,(

Vegies I Don't Like to Eat

Green beans sweet potatoes,

Baby carrots, too,

Vegies I don't like to eat,

I'll count them for you.

Broccoli, celery,

Any thing that's green,

Vegetables are horrible,

Although they keep you lean.

Cauliflower, spinage,

Artichoke and beans,

Boys and girls hate them,

Don't you think that's mean?

To many to count,

To many to hate,

I guess I'm stuck with

Green monster bait!

Make Way For Poems!

I've been writing a lot of poems lately, and I had an idea. Why not post them on my blog? So I'm going to post some of my favorite poems hope fully very soon. Make way for poems!

Squeak

Here are two pictures I took of my Guinea pig, Squeak, from 2007(top) and just a while ago(bottom). Doesn't seem like much of a difference to me, but I don't know. I thought I would post them just because. Do you ever think your Guinea pig is really a spy out to get you? Probably not, but that could make a interesting story...

Pet of the Week

Every week, on the side, you will see a virtual pet you can play with and feed. On Monday, I will change the pet. This week's pet is Felix Fox, and next week's is Pinky Pig. (for the records, I didn't come up with any of these names.) So be sure to check out the pet of the week on my blog!
