Celtic Thunder

A few nights ago mom and I were watching TV, and we switched the channel to wmht. There an Irish group caught our eye called Celtic Thunder. They are kinda like Celtic Women but they are guys and they don't sing JUST old irish balads. Anyway if you want you can check them out you can on youtube!

My Life

Though it does not seem like it, my life has changed in many ways this year. No matter how small my life is different than it used to be. For instance

~I am interested in how I look and don't wear hoodies, jeans and ponytails everyday~

~I have an Ipod~

~I am living in a new house where I can have adventures with my imagination ~

~ I ride my bike around town ~

~I do announcements at church~

~I'm not TERRIFIED of thunderstorms anymore...OK not as much~

~I am going to have 3 new cousins!~

~I have a new baby sister!!!~

~I am copying aunt beans style of writing~


I know for others it may seem like not much but for me its been a big change! I can't wait to see what other new things happen to me this year!

Boo and Me

and grandma and abby

Heat Wave!

Summer heat has finally hit! Though i don't know if is a good thing! I believe i already drank a gallon of water! Well time for swimming, lemonade, and tans!

American Idol

Well, the final finale for AI is tonight and I have to admit...I'm sad! I love this show and starting tomorrow I'll have to wait almost a year to see it again! The contestants become my friends (metaphorically speaking) that I look forward to seeing twice a week. Oh well, at least there will a few new artists I will be able to listen to!
Oh, and I gotta say this has been a very interesting season! From the "I am your brother your best friend forever" guy, to Randy thinking it was 2007 I have been very entertained. I have also been disappointed, sadly watching as Carly Smithson, Brooke White, and Michael Johns were voted out. However, I'm overjoyed that David Archuleta made it to the finale! (though I figured he would) I'm hoping he wins, though a lot of people like David Cook. Well, I guess I'll find out tonight!

Our Parakeets

While I was away in Texas, my family bought parakeets. My brothers (preferably Jake) and I had been reading about bird care and decided that even though we wanted a parrot, we should start with something cheaper, and easier to take care of for our first bird ... like a parakeet. Well, we decided to save up our money and maybe get one in a few months. Dad however, surprised us by taking the boys to the pet store and letting them pick out a couple (2 but "couple" sounds better). Jacob picked one (a green and yellow one he named Banana), and Cotter the other (a blue one he named Leodis). Anyway, when the boys first brought them home they wouldn't do anything, not step up on their fingers, or even want them to touch them. Slowly they're learning however, and now we are training them to feel comfortable upside down, and we whistle a tune for them to hear, who knows, maybe they'll copy us sometime!
