Things in the Peat Moss

Well yesterday I had a bit of an adventure while digging up a flowerbed. Let me tell you about it...haha. So my mom told me to work some peat moss into the soil in the flowerbed when I was hoeing it like no one's business. Let me tell you, if I had a dollar for every dead plant with impossible roots making it impossible to pull it out, I'd be rich! Look out Bill Gates. Also FYI, I got a sunburn! Anyhow, I went to go grab the peat moss from the shed and looked inside and saw something fuzzy...So normally when you see a strange object in your peat moss, you're not really tempted to touch it. Well I didn't touch it either. I went and got mom. Oh yes, Mom.
I told her there were "things in the peat moss".
She asked, "What do you mean things in the peat moss?"
"There are THINGS in the peat moss!"
"Well ok then, let's go see these THINGS in the peat moss."
So we trecked out to the shed and she opened the bag of peat moss and there was a ....MOUSE! We both screamed. Loudly. So Mom takes the peat moss and dumps it out and the mouse scurries off and that's not all! There were baby mice attached to the mom mouse! At first glance, I thought the mom was giving birth but no that was not the case. They were just grabbing some milk. So then the mice scurry under some flowers (as shown above) and stay there. It was crazy!

Wishful Thinking

Ho hum. You know what would be great? Visiting Europe. That's what would be great! I can see it now.....Greece, Paris, Spain, Venice, England and so on. You might be wondering why I'm even bringing this up. Well, I was looking through a friend's pictures from Europe and they were absolutly amazing! It just makes you wish you could go there! So that is officially a life goal! Go to Europe. And while I'm young and with a friend! Maybe when I'm in my twenties! If this blog is still around by then I will blog every step of the way!

I Love the Weather!

It's officially summer in my mind! I'm sunburnt and it's been 30+ degrees out lately! As long as we don't get any ridiculous snowstorms! I am also working at two camps this year!! SO excited! Summer is gonna be a good one this year! I just know it! I feel it in the heat radiating from my sunburn....

Band Trip 2010!

↑ Hailee, Sam and I on the rollercoaster!!

I have so much I could say about Band Trip!!! I'll give you the highlights so I don't get carpal tunnel.......
Well I guess I should start with Bill. Bill was the bus driver. Good ol' Bill had no idea where he was going I swear. First of all, we go down a one-way street the wrong way. (How he managed that, I'll never know...) Then we go into the parking lot of a hotel we're not staying in and we stay there for a good fifteen minutes. And the best blunder of all, we were driving around and we saw the stadium where the Edmonton Eskimos play and everyone was all amazed and everything. Then a few minutes later we're back at the stadium. Fifteen minutes later we're back at the stadium again and people are starting to wonder if Bill actually knew where he was going. Sure enough, fifteen minutes later we're back AGAIN! It was so funny.....
And of course, we went to the West Edmonton Mall and that was soooooo AWESOME! Me and Sheridan were on a schedule! We had mapped out all the places we wanted to go and we got everywhere in record time considering we only had 3 hours there!! So not enough time but anywho.....
And pretty much my favorite part of the trip was Galaxyland in the West Ed Mall!!! Let me just tell you, Mindbender (the largest indoor triple loop roller coaster in the world!!!) was AMAZING! It was funny because Me and Sam wanted to go on it. So we were almost at the front of the line and we were kinda getting intimidated by the bigness of it. I turned to Sam and asked her, "You know....maybe we should go on something smaller first....." and she agreed right away. So after our "smaller coaster" we told each other, "If everyone can do this than so can we!!" and we did. It was so nerve-wracking waiting for it to move. We expected the worst. So it started moving and me and Sam started screaming. It was absoluetly crazy! When you went over the loops, it was as if you blacked out for a second! Sam had felt it too! After the ride we went on it again right away! Soo fun! Then we made fishy lips for the camera on the coaster! haha

I ♥ this Car!

This is the Ford Fiesta!! I love it so much! And seeing as how I'm getting my license next year.....haha keep dreaming. I love the color too! It's between this and the lime green one. It has Sync technology of course, fold-down outside mirrors, nice exterior, nice interior, and pretty much everything! Go to http://www.fiesta.ford.eu/ if you want to see more!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mom's out there!
Me and my brother decided to make mom breakfast in bed for Mother's Day. Surprisingly, we hadn't thought to do that before....It went well except for the fact that mom heard the noise we were making and went to investigate. She figured it out but we told her to go back to bed so she did. I made fried eggs for the first time and well....let's just say they weren't quite top notch. Tyler made the toast (he was very proud). We also made her a bowl of fruit. We were just going to give her her favorite drink, Grapefruit juice but Tyler decided it needed a twist. I told him it didn't need any "twist" but he put ginger ale in the drink anyhow. Mom didn't end up liking the drink too much. I hate to say I told you so but I told you so. haha Basically, our little meal for her went well!

Band Trip!

I am so ready for our band trip this year!! We're going to Edmonton! We will be seeing Beauty and the Beast The Musical before anyone else! My band teacher got us all in free for a special presentation before the opening night! And OF COURSE, we get to spend some time in the West Edmonton Mall!!!! I am SO excited if you haven't yet noticed!

A Snowstorm in APRIL?!

So yes, this is April!! Why is it snowing may you ask? I have no clue. This was in Alberta. It was crazy because that morning we were able to go to the mall without a coat and then later we were running to the vehicle because we had no coat. There was ice frozen to the windshield! Ridiculous! On the way back to my Aunt's house, there were flares set up on the side of the road and cops were there as well. They were making sure no one got onto one of the major highways leading out of the city due to a 54 car pileup. It was kind of funny because all of the semi's who were trucking by that route were all stopped on the side of the road not really sure what they should be doing. There was basically a wall of semi's on both sides of you for a good while.

I Saw Alice in Wonderland!!

↑ Me with my 3D glasses and their lenses popped out :)

I went and saw Alice in Wonderland! Finally....although not with my friends. Oh well, it was still REALLY good! I've got to say, I'm a fan of that cat. There's just something about him......oh that's right, he evaporates. Anyway when my Aunt and I decided to go to this movie it was going to start in 15 minutes and we were 20 minutes away PLUS we didn't have our tickets yet. So we drove, surprisingly staying at speed limit (We didn't have time to get a ticket). When we  got to the theatre we were running all over the place trying to find the place where we got tickets. APPARENTLY my Aunt hadn't been to this theatre before! So we got our tickets and went into the theatre. And we only missed 10 minutes! Which was like the previews and 5 minutes of the movie! Wow! It was a great show!

Dancing with the Stars

So this year on Dancing with the Stars I'm cheering for Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy (that's a doozy of a name). They've done pretty decent so far and I'm expecting big things from now on! Haha....like I know what I'm talking about! Even though Erin has received death threats for her being on Dancing with the Stars (http://tinyurl.com/yzkqxrr) she's still staying on. No need to fear though, the FBI is on the case. (Wow, how corny am I?) I would defineately vote for them if it weren't for the small fact that I live in Canada.

Hoppy Easter!

Hoppy Easter everyone!! (Get it? I'm sure you do.) It's the wonderful holiday filled with bunny chocolates, Peeps and animals trying to become bunnies. Well, I know one thing for certain. Easter didn't come from bunnies and eggs and chocolate. It came from God. He died for us, need we be reminded. He saved us so we could go to heaven! Don't get me wrong, I love the chocolate eggs and bunnies. Personally though, I'm more of the hollow chocolate bunnies person and not bite-into-a-brick-of-chocolate-and-break-your-teeth kind of person. But that's just me! Hope everyone's Easter is filled with fun! (and the plastic stuffing you fill Easter baskets with!)

Good Friday Breakfast

As always, the Good Friday breakfast was a huge hit! Especially with all those crapes! (Don't know what crapes are? Please refer to the picture above ↑ ) There was one strange thing that happened with the food though. The eggs turned gray. It was so weird. It looked like silly putty. Not very appetizing.....
We had a great band! They are called the Hunter Family. They sing western gospel music. They were absolutely hilarious and so talented! The whole family was hockey players. The Good Friday breakfast was great!
