I am in Bahrain now

Hanging out on the roof of our apartment grilling sausage and cheese and at the mall on one of the rides in the kids area

Living in Bahrain is interesting. Sometimes I want to go home and sometimes I want my family to come here. I do like it here but I just miss my cousins and my friends. And I kind of miss having my own room. When Skye takes a nap I can't go into my room to play or get my things because I might wake her up. But other than that part it isn't bad. Our apartment is nice, it is small but nice. We don't have Disney channel or cartoon network or any kids channels at all actually but my dad get's Netflix and the movies come to our house. Dad takes me bowling with him, when I get really good he is going to buy me my own ball and shoes adn I might join a league. It would be neat I think.

The planes and Bahrain

Well we made it, we are here! We went on 3 plane rides to get here, it was the first time I'd ever ridden on a plane. The first plane from Jacksonville to Washington, DC was very small and I couldn't sit next to mom. I sat in front of her next to a businessman but he was nice. I sat next to the window and looked out, the cars looked like ants and the rivers were very dark blue, we even flew out over the ocean. On our flights to from DC to Germany and from Germany to Bahrain we were 39,000 feet in the air so all we could see were the tops of the clouds! The plane food was actually good and the Gulf Air flight to Bahrain even had a Sky Nanny to help with babies and kids! I like it here, it is a neat place, they love kids here so there is a lot to do. I won't try the food, it just looks different and smells different and I am afraid I won't like it. Mom and Dad get frustrated and tell me I have to try it because that is what we have here and they don't want me to be hungry. Maybe I will give things a chance after we've been here for awhile but for now I am happy eatng cereal, pop tarts, apples, bananas, melons, and salads........they are the safest bet when eating in funky turkey places!

Going on an adventure

It has been very long since I wrote on my blog. We are in the middle of a big move, have big news in the coming weeks, I will be writing on my blog more.

Model Me

The other day we went out garage sale-ing. My mom likes to find funky things to turn into other funky things, it is pretty cool. Anyway, I decided to bring a little bit of style to our day out so I put together a great outfit and mom took some fashionista pics of me! I love dressing in fun clothes, it makes me happy and it makes other people smile so it is a good thing!

Horse Camp

I got to kick off the summer right by spending a week at Diamond D horse ranch! It was so awesome, we rode horses for 4-7 hours everyday. We learned a lot about horses and their gear as well. The trails were really neat but sometimes we went off the trail as well. Wednesday night we took an hour long ride through the woods to this little red church....right in the woods! There was a nice church service then we rode back, it was midnight before we went to sleep. We saw old whiskey making things in the woods and a railroad that was mostly buried. I learned about how they used to float logs up black creek to get timber for homes and buildings. I loved it so much, I want to work for Arabian Nights when I grow up and be a trick horse rider.

Last weekend my cousin spent the night with me. My mom thought it would be fun to have a girls night out so we went to O'Charleys for dinner. We had so much fun giggling about boys and talking about clothes and school and what we want to be when we grow up. My mom made both of our shirts and we were so happy that we wore them that very day! It was a neat day.


We are being silly and making faces at mom.

We are smiling pretty for this one, I want mom to get a big one so I can put it in a frame on my wall

Oh no! It is a girly-girl fight! Not really, we were pretending to be London from Suite Life!

I was telling Lyssa what is good, she had never been there before. I got my usual, the appetizer platter, it has chicken fingers, potato skins, and melty cheese triangles! With dipping sauces!

Cotton candy shirley temples! Have you ever seen anything so fun? You put the cotton candy in there and it dissovles and makes the sprite taste all candy-ish and turns it pink!

Surprise Disney Day Trip!~

My mom surprised us with a trip to Disney last week! Aunt Jen and Uncle Rob and the kids were staying in Orlando for a week so they told us to come down and go to disney with them one day and we did!

Here I am with Peter Pan and Wendy!


I love the magic of the castle! Everytime we go to Disney World and I see the castle I get all goosebumpy and wish I could stay the night there!


Check it out! We found a hidden Mickey in the clouds at the base of a castle in a gift shop at Downtown Disney when we went to eat dinner!


We ate dinner at the Rainforest Cafe! There were animals and thunderstorms and all sorts of things to look at! We were acting like silly monkeys!


On the monorail leaving the park to catch our bus back to the hotel. I was sad to go but I had such a great day I couldn't stop smiling!

It's so random

Here are some pretty random pictures of things that I've been doing. Nothing spectacular, just normal, old me!


We had some bad storms a few weeks ago and the power went out. Mom was pretty quick to light the candles. There was a picture hanging on the wall and it was reflected in the window. Between the reflection and the odd shadows from the candle light it made a scary image. Mom loves my scared face.

We went to the beach on Easter with Sarah, Cody, Meg, Shawn, Kelly, Brian, and some of Cody's friends. We didn't stay long because it was so windya, we ended up going back to Kelly's place where I got to swim in the pool and eat monster burgers and hot dogs and Sarah's killer banana pudding!


Sometimes I get songs in my head and I dance around the house. My mom does it too. She likes when I dance, she says it gives her "scrapbook pictures" My mom is a nerd sometimes but she doesn't mind, she always tells me "don't worry baby, geek is chic or dork is in"

I made some delicious strawberry cupcakes with strawberry icing. They were good but were missing something. So I topped them with some sliced black olives.....mmm..perfection. Of course even if I thought it was gross I wouldn't tell my mom, I would hate for her to know she was right! ;)

This is a new shirt mom made me from this awesome fabric. She did it without a pattern, she just measured me, went into the sewing room for 2 spongebobs and 2 iron mans, I think that is an hour and a half, and came out with this. I LOVE it! I want her to make me more. She is making a matching one for Skye right now.

First beach day of the year!

Today it was finally warm enough to hit the beach! I was so excited to go! We loaded up in the car and went and stayed all day until about 6:00 in the evening. On the way home we got ice-cream like we always do. It was a fun day but it was super-windy. The pool I kept trying to blow up was flying away with me attached! We had a great time, the waves were so rough. I wish we had brought the boogie board but we didn't ride in our truck, we rode with Aunt and she didn't have room. It was a pretty good day.

Time for the fair! I wait for this all year long, I just love the fair! This year I was allowed to take one of my friends, we had such a blast. I rode a lot of great rides and one really scary ride my mom dared me to ride. I was super-scared and mom got a great picture. She also got some really funny pictures of us being spongebob and patric and some other crazy characters. But something happened during the transfer and the pictures are gone. Boo, they were really funny.


This is the kiddie coaster, my mom dared us go on it with the babies. I was hoping we wouldn't run into anybody we knew!


Ahhh, the swings. I love the swings!


Er, on second thought, I'm getting off. I just saw puke on the ground, ugh. Gross.


One of the many fun houses we went into, I love fun houses!


havin' some fun at Mellow Mushroom for lunch before the fair

Spring is here, time for the park!

Spring has officially arrived and with it's arrival has come the most beautiful weather so we have been spending a lot of time at the park. On this day we went to van zandt park and walked all the nature trails before we played on the playground. There weren't many kids there but I did make friends with a girl and we played hide-n-seek together. I wasn't aware mom was taking pictures of me. She says she has to do it on the sly or else I pose. Well duh, I want to look my best! I love going to the park. I always look forward to Wednesdays when we go to clark park with Sarah, William, and Grace. On the other days we go to the parks closer to our house. At the park near our house there is an awesome frolf course so mom said I could learn to frolf, I can't wait to do that!

Finished my first sewing project!

I have finished my first sewing project. It is a skirt and it is really cool. I made it out of pink and brown fabric, it is kind of see-through but mom said we can make a slip to go under it, maybe we can even make it out of netting so the skirt puffs out. That would be cool. Mom is going to have to help me adjust it because it is a bit big on me. I put in the zipper and made the waistband and did everything totally on my own. For my next project I will be making envelope pillowcases with buttons, I can't wait to learn how to do buttons and button holes. Moms machine makes it kind of easy because it has feet for buttons and button holes. My mom took these pictures while I was doing my sewing homework, I had to have the skirt front and back sewn together and the skirt hemmed so we could do the zippers and waistbands in class that day.

Scotland in Clay County?

We went to the Scottish games again this year and had more fun! We saw this English policeman walking around, he was really from England! So were the ladies with him so Mom made me get a picture with them. I told her just to let Skye but someone had to hold her so I had to get in the picture too. Gee. Thrilling. The rest of the day was good though, I got to pet some animals in the petting zoo and throw a sheep (not a real one!) The bagpipes hurt my ears but mom says they are beautiful and she loves the music. I loved the birds of prey, the falcons and eagles were soooo cool! We got to see Evan, Jason, Nicole, Grandma Kelly, Nan, and Pop there too. I wish Daddy could have gone, he likes doing that kind of stuff with us. It was neat.

Wishing for summer....

I love going to my Grandaddy's house anytime but I have to admit that summer is my FAVORITE time to be there. He lives on this cool lake and he has a ski boat, a fishing boat, and a kayak. Well, the kayak is Uncle Clint's but since I am really good at it they let me take it out all by myself. I love my Grandaddy's jeep, I want one when I turn 16. Mom and Dad say if I keep my grades up and I am a good girl then we'll see about getting a used one....mabye. I am doing some flips over the bar waiting for Grandaddy to come take me for a ride, I love going through the mud at the edge of the dried-up lakes! I also like going down the dirt road to Pinheads farm, I don't know his real name, Grandaddy just always calls him pinhead. I imagine he has a sister named eraser butt! He has cows, I love the cows because they are soft.

We sleep on air mattresses at Grandaddy's house. I usually share one with Lyssa and Logan but they beat me up in my sleep! This air bed had a hole in it so I pretty much woke up on the floor! I don't care though, I am always happy to wake up at Grandaddy's!

Lyssa and I used to have to take out the old fishing boat before Uncle got his kayak. The kayak is much easier to use! Grandaddy and Aunt had to come point us toward shore, we couldnt' make the boat turn!

We have many bikes, trikes, and even a 4-wheeler at Grandaddy's house! The sun is setting in this picture, that is why I am all orange! I was waiting for Loge to get done with the 4-wheeler so I could use it. I want to drive it fast but Grandaddy but a thingy on it that limits the speed. His driveway is long and dirty and it is so much fun to ride down. I always get filthy but that doesn't matter because all I have to do is go jump in the lake! My mom says it is relaxing for everyone at the lake because the only rules are to stay safe. I can pretty much do what I want and there is no bedtime. I am always worn out at the end of the day and Grandaddy always makes a fire down by the lake and we listen to odd music by this Zappa guy and make s'mores. I can't wait for summer!

This is the view from the house as the sun sets over the lake. I can't wait!!
