Cleaning day!

I had an AMAZING WEEKEND this week. I hung out with like 5 of my friends, and had a sleepover with another. I also went and saw "the Lucky One" with a friend and nearly cried. It is a really good movie and i suggest you should go watch it :) .

Right now me, my mom, and my little sister are all cleaning, and doing yard-work. I was just taking a  rest from cleaning the kitchen, while my mom is mowing the lawns. I cleaned my room, and Thursday i cleaned the family room too. So now I'm trying to finish cleaning the kitchen and living room before my dad gets home.

I AM LAUGHING RIGHT NOW: because as I'm typing, im listening to my mother run over rocks with the lawn mower. (That's how she BROKE THE LAST ONE) What a silly mother :P  Here's our pond in our backyard looking lovely. The waterfall isn't working right now so all we have is the fountain thingy.

THIS WEEK:
Well i have piano on Monday, so hopefully that goes well, I'm going to order some grooming supplies from "Greenhawk Equestrian supplies" (because i need/want really badly to learn how to do hunter braids, and pinwheels, and other things, because i need to make some money somehow. )I'll probably order everything, because almost all items at Greenhawk are on sale, so i could get a Dandy brush for 4$ or a hoof pick for 1$ so I'm pretty siked. I also am probably going to hang out with my horse friend, Emma and practice my hunter braids on her pony. I've got some assignments due as well, also maybe some tests. I will post new PHOTOS on my other blog, "Flying High Photography" quite soon. 

Best Friends:

Today my bestie, since we were 8 months old, Elissa came over after school because i felt like inviting her over. At four we had to go to a meeting at our old Elementary school about french; like how we were doing, and what they need to improve on. So we went, gave our input, yada yada, (i almost fell asleep) and then she came to my house for a short while until her dad came to pick her up.

So we are in my basement, and fooling around, poking each other, and laughing our heads off. We were being totally rude and slapping each other sometimes on the butt or our chests.

I'm like, "if anyone saw us right now and didn't know we were best friends might think we are gay,"
and Elissa's like , " BEST FRIENDS = LESBIAN LOVERS !!!" i nearly died laughing cause it is so true, best friends do act like lesbians sometimes to their other best friend.

JUST TO MAKE THINGS CLEAR: WE ARE NOT i repeat NOT lesbian :P

(i just had to share that funny story with you :)

New Guitar ! :)

Well, I'm now going to have to learn how to play the guitar :) My friend Bethany dropped of this gorgeous Yamaha Guitar off today. I love it! will have to learn how to tune it, but its a start. I can't wait to learn the chords. Here's a picture ! a couple of tiny dents on it but its quite nice.

My new Guitar ! 

Getting a guitar!

One of my adult friends at church was getting rid of a guitar. She asked my friend Bella first, and because Bella already has a baby Taylor, she turned down the offer. So she asked me, because one time i said that i always wanted to learn to play the guitar. So i am officially going to have my own guitar! :) I'm so excited ! It'll be another instrument that i will learn, but i wont take lessons. I'll just teach myself, because I'm already taking piano lessons once a week, and I try to practice for at least a couple hours a week already for piano, as I play Grade 8 classical piano (not like keyboarding like people in bands, stuff like Beethoven, and Bach)

I will post a picture of my new guitar when I get it, and a picture of my Piano, as I love it dearly. It is an old piano, but with a unique sound to it. (it is in tune) But it has a deep rich quality of sound to it. 

THIS WEEK:

I will have a couple of tests to study for this week so i may not be posting much this week. 

More photos from the B-day Party :)

My FAVOURITE Picture of Gizmo yet <3 Love you buddy :)

 HERES SOME MORE !

My and Lil' Sisters B-day Party at the Ranch

So yesterday, April 18th, me and my little sister had a shared B-day party. My little sister and her friends came later, because their school ends later than our school. So me and my friends got changed at school and went straight away to the ranch.

We went in the corral first, (well after Bill explained everything to my friends what we were doing, ) and then after that refreshing of how to ride your horse, we went out onto a nice long trail. We didn't see any deer, but it was a really fun time :) I almost never go horse back-riding with my friends, so it was a nice treat. ALSO because it was such an amazingly beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky yet, it wasn't hot :)

Here are some pictures of me and my friends having some fun !

Me on Gizmo :)

If your wondering what he's doing, i dont really know... i think he's pooping, but he might be doing his coughing, and tooting thingy again ;)

My friends Elissa on Storm (left), and Kristina on Ripper (right), Ripper is somewhat famous at the Ranch, because he's been featured at a music video filmed at Rocky Ridge Ranch, called 'Fly Robin' by Amy Savin. (GO CHECK IT OUT!)

Elissa on Storm again 

   

Emma on Saige :) she's cheating a bit here and riding Saige English not western because Saige can do both.

Me on Gizzie again.

As you can see from this picture, Gizmo is not a purebred :P He's a funny looking one, but cute nonetheless.

Sophia on Echo

This is Bill on Moira

All of us coming back from the trail ride.

heading back to the barn.

SMILE! :D

Us all fooling around in our cowboy hats :)

Us trying, and failing to do the can-can properly :)

Gizmo :)

Well just spent a lovely weekend at Rocky Ridge Ranch, and I rode Gizmo each ride. He was acting and behaving better than expected on the first day, but the second day, he was acting up, and when i went to get on him, he would start walking away. So i would have to spin him around until he decided he would stand still. I like that he doesn't try to go for the grass when we are on trail rides, cause then its one less thing i have to worry about. But i figured out over the summer that he LOVES Crabbe apples, so whenever we pass under a tree, he always tries to get them off the ground.
He was still not listening to me to get him to walk faster in the corral, but out on the trails, he speeds up quite a bit. He's responding much better to turning signals, when before he would just keep walking wherever he tried to go. Another thing he does is if there is mud, or puddles, he will try to avoid them at all costs, or try to run through them. SO i have to hold him back, or encourage him to go forward as much as possible.

He's my buddy and i love him dearly :) Overall it was a fun weekend. I tried to run Bill (barn manager) over with Gizmo, while there was a group. Gizmo walked right up to him, bumped his nose into him, and then stopped after almost pushing Bill over. (had a good chuckle after that :P )

On the second day, we had just brought all the horses that we needed in and they were all tied up in the barn, (because we don't have stalls, we tie them up to the walls, and then we have a center aisle) he was scratching, so i grabbed a really hard brush and scratched that spot for him. HIS FACE WAS HILARIOUS!!!!! he did this: he stretched out his neck, showed the edges of his back teeth, and stretched out his lips. I used my nails instead to scratch him and he looked like he was in heaven. It's nice that i have to the time when i'm there to groom him myself, and tack him up most of the time.

Well, time for me to get ready for school tomorrow, and prepare for the interesting week ahead: dentists, horseback-riding birthday party at the ranch, and math test ....
