Switch-a-roo...

Sydney made a switch-a-roo! I traded my violin in for a claranet this year. In fourth grade band wasn't an option. The day I got it, when I opened the case, I was surprised. It had five parts to put together. When I got home I put it all together and I realized it had so many keys. I haven't brought it to band class yet but from my experiences with violin i know how to play hot cross buns and mary had a little lamb. I'm so excited to take it to band.

Sydney did go to school!

It was awesome! My teacher is Mrs. Marcozzi

which is the one i wanted. She is really cool and i like her alot. I wish Olivia is in my class but i have Lexi, Jera, and Ashley. My favorite class is Math because it is shorter this year and everyday we do timed tests and we get 5 minutes to do them and i get done in 2 minutes. Its a good thing mom made me practice my times facts. I only have one recess but its 40 minutes long. On the first day we were given a crooked line and we were to turn it into something and i turned it into a girl lost in the woods. When we were done we have to write a story about it i was finished in 3 days. My least favorite thing is schloastic news because they have a whole extra 15 questions that we have to answer plus for 4 questions on the magazine and 4 vocabulary words and we have to get back in the passage and highlight our answer. We have 30 minutes of super silent reading and my teacher says we has SSR everyday unless the building is on fire and if the building is on fire then we take the book with us.

Starting Seventh...

Since 7th graders didn't have to start school until noon, me and 14 other girls got to go to pizza hut for lunch before school started. It was great since the schools food is like gross. :( It was really fun to get to be with my friends before school actually started. I was mostly nervous about if I was going to be with any of my friends in my classes. It turns out I have friends in all my classes except reading, which only has 6 other students in it-wierd! My first hour is PE-eew-sticky and sweaty for the day. My PE teacher is REALLY scary! Then I have orchestra. Then I have math, me and my friend were really scared that we failed 6th grade math since the teacher was a 6th grade teacher last year. Thankfully she just moved to 7th grade this year. After that I have 4th hour english, my teacher is very pretty...JK she's really scary looking! Then I have Social and then Science. The science room is crawling with wolf spiders-barf!!!!!!!! Next is reading with Mrs.Kay-Higgins, thats the class with 6 kids. Last and least is prime time which the evil teacher askes us questions about the books we read when it should be more like a study hall I think. Although it took me a long time to find my locker and figure out the combo I had a really great first day of 7th grade.

First Day of High School. . .

Today was my first day of High School. It went way better than i thought it was going to. I though for sure iw as gunna get lost and not have any classes wit my friends and not be able to find anybody. I was happy when it was only the freshmen who went in the morning and got a tour of the school and got to learn more about the school. I am so happy cause i have at least one of my friends in each of my classes i wish i had more...but at least i do have one except in my Spanish class. For first hour i have PE and i am not happy bout that at all and i have Taylor with me in that class, second i have Science and i have Jaclyn with me, third i have Algebra and i have Charlie Ann with me in that one, fourth i have Drama 1 and Chelsea is in that class, fifth i have Desktop Publishing and i have Taylor in that class too, sixth i have Advanced English(class i had to read "They Cage The Animals At Night" for) and Chelsea is in that one also. Last i have Spanish and i have no friends in that class with me. Includeing me there are only 5 freshmen in that class but i have a feeling i am going to stay in this class all year unlike last year cause the teacher is nice and doesnt only talk Spanish to us all the time. I really only couldnt find one of my classes and it was like right behind me almost because there are only two main hallways really where pretty much all the classes are but there are a few sort of like secret passeges to different classes and they are kinda confusing but i like have to go up the stairs then back down then up and down cause i have classes on all floors pretty much right after each other. I am so happy cause in almost all my classes you dont need anything or the teachers keep it in their room so we dont lose it so i dont have to go to my locker all the time cause the halls are so crowded with all the freshman, sophmores, juniors, and seniors that its like hard to move so i dont like that part but i only to go all my classes on monday. On Wednesday and Friday i go to all the odd hours and on Tuesdays and Thursday i go to all the even hours cause on Tuesdays and Thursdays we start at 8:00 rather than 7:35.

Me and Korin at Grandpa and Grandmas

Me and Korin went to Grandpa and Grandmas house from Sunday the 20th to Friday the 25th. Monday the 21st (Sydneys birthday) me Korin and Grandma went to Souix Falls to do some shopping for clothes. We found some really great deals :). This is Korin tryin on a shirt at JC Penny that she was almost going to get but didn't.
This is me trying on a shirt at American Eagle (one of my fav stores). I got this shirt for $15 and it was on sale! :0
This is us back at Grandpa and Grandmas in the shirts we bought both at JC Penny.
These are Korins $80 shoes thats she got at Macy's on sale for $27 for our cousin April Fennerns wedding that comein up weekend.
Grandma got me and Korin these bags at Old Navy. Korin got a shirt there that is the same as her bag. Even though Korin is taller shes not by that much shes just wearing her new shoes.
On Tuesday we all went golfing in the morning. This is Korin, me, and grandpa all squished in the golf cart its gettin to small to hold all of us at once. Grandpa let me drive the golf cart a couple of times....
When we golf me and Korin only do the putting part cause we cant really do the rest.
Korin got mad at this hole because i got closer to the hole than she did. :D
We were going to go to Slaytona to go swimming but a lil kid had an "accident" in the pool so they had to close it so we just went to the park right by the pool. Everyone loves this hampster wheel thing we go on it like every year.

Over the fourth of July Grandpa and Grandmas inner tube got broken *cough cough Benjy cough* so Grandpa and Grandma got a new one! Its so awesome!!
Here we are tryin to hook up the inner tube to the rope so it wont fall off.
Heres me and Korin tubeing! We were pretty much the only ones on the lake that day which was a good thing cause we had the lake all to our selves. Of course there wasn't any waves from other boats but it was pretty wavy without them.
Our church down here in Kansas is asking for donations for stain glass windows and my mom wanted to donate some money for them. Grandpa and Grandma had the idea that we would load there truck up with metal the had by there red shed and aluminum cans and bring them to a place in Marshall to trade them for money. We went there before me, Korin, and grandma went to go and see Mamma Mia(best movie ever!) and we got $61.
Grandpas truck was over flowing with all the stuff we put in the back of the truck. Mom was really happy and surprised when we gave her the money we got for the stain glass windows.
