another year and a record snow storm.

   I am officially fifteen...  yep... another thing to remember when I fill out forms *sheepish grin*  Anyway, the point of this post is to share what I did for my birthday! So, if you live in Wisconsin, you know we had a blizzard this last weekend. Yes, I know it's basically the middle of April, but I'm not sure if God got the memo. haha, just kidding. Seriously though, we got 33ish inches of snow, in three days... with some of the snow drifts at 4 or 5 feet. Enough said, I'm getting cold.

   So I had a joined birthday party with the lovely Emma *check out her blog- Aspiring to Be* and it turned out sooo great. Of course a bunch of people were not able to make it due to the weather but it was still really fun! Unfortunately... I don't think either of us took ANY pictures! So that means you'll just have to simply imagine it! Emma made some delicious looking pizza garland and she did an awesome job on it! We put it by the pizza bar; Emma's mom made homemade pizza crust and we made a bunch of delicious pizzas. My mom, Sara, and I made ice cream garland for the ice cream table! We had LOADS of toppings to go with our ice cream!! We played some games, and I learned how to play Mafia; lets just say I was a little confused but I think I understand how to play now, and it was pretty funny. 

   Sarah (not my sister) was the doughnut man and she was delivering doughnuts and got stabbed and a doctor saw and ran to her. Sara (my sister) saw while riding her bike and ran into a car so the doctor veered to Sara and saved her instead of Sarah. Love it. 

   Finally, we watched the Greatest Showman; and it was AMAZING! That's it, AMAZING! I've been listening to the soundtrack non stop!!!

   On my birthday we didn't do much. We watched some movies, including the Greatest Showman...again, and the Chronicles of Narnia for the first time (that I remember)! We played a couple games and just spent the day together as a family! I'd rather spend the day trapped at home with my family than having a busy day!

   That's what I did for my birthday! I hope you enjoyed this post! When's your birthday?? Have a great day!     Always,

a sneak peek into my crazy life.

     Yes, I've hit the ALWAYS SUPER BUSY point of the year with spring pretty much here and with only having 6 WEEKS, I repeat, 6 WEEKS left of school... I'm super swamped! So I'm going to share my crazy "getting-up-to's" with y'all! #greathomemadewords

       So if you did not know I am in a musical with our home school group, The Lady Pirates of Captain Bree! I am an Irish Pirate who goes by the name of Patty! Here are the details if you want to see it! Dates: April 20, 21, 22; 2018 at 7pm on the 20 and 21 and at 2pm on the 22! It's at the Clintonville Public High School Auditorium and it's FREE!

       As I said I am on the home stretch of my freshman year of high school! And honestly... I'm kinda ready for the summer break! I am the kid who cried when school was over... and who does something for school every summer... so this is huge for me!

      I'm an Air Conditioner at 4-H camp this year! a.k.a. Assistant Counselor. I'm with the second to eldest group (6) this year and I'm really getting excited! Except for the fact of playing gaga ball... 24/7.... for 5 days.... *face palm* Don't get me wrong it's a fun game and all... but you get sick of it when that's all the kids want to do...

     I asked Nevaeh(my little cousin) if she wanted to play a game and she said she wanted to play candyland. I pull out the board and we pick our characters: Backpack(me), Dora(Nevaeh), and Boots(mom)! Our Diego is unfortunately extremely chewed up... not sure how that happened but anyway.

Obviously Nevaeh won because she got the ice cream cone *and cheated her way to victory in my opinion* but it was fun to play!

      And I am pleased to say the Samme is just about up to her best again! I am finally able to lightly canter her again!! AND... We took our first trail ride of the season this week! We actually got two in but now... Wisconsin is being ever so gracious as to bestow more snow upon us... we literally got at least 7 inches or more....Back the indoor for riding

     And finally, here are some pictures I took this week while I was at the barn! 

On the left is Samme, the charming fella here is Ducati and the black blob on the right is Dude. :)

This is my favorite photo I took! This is Samme

And this is Ducati!

When do you get done with school? What are your plans for the summer? Do you want some posts or even vlogs of stuff at the barn? If so what do you wan to see? Let me know in the  comments. Thank you so much for reading! I hope you have an awesome day!
     Always,
