Watch Out Burley, Here I Come!!!

Yes, it's that time. Yesterday I started Drivers Ed. All we did was sit in the classroom for 2 hours and listen to the teacher blab his mouth. The classes are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 7 to 9 A.M, and then you can sign up for your drives almost every day of the week. Today was my first drive. It lasted for 2 hours. I drove around town, in the parking lots, out in the country, pretty much everywhere in Burley. I didn't do too bad; only hit a few curbs! See, I have only driven once in the country and not at all in town, so I didn't do too bad. Next week I will be driving to Oakley and on the free way. I think that will be pretty interesting! Well, I will try and keep you posted on how I am doing. That's all for now; wish me luck!

Cash

Well, my mom said that we had to post a picture of our dog Cash on the blog. Mom loves him to death! She couldn't function without him. She said that I better do it or else she was going to right away! We have a really nice dog. Cash is a border collie/Australian shepherd. He knows many tricks including sit, lay, shake, smile, and many more. He has learned all the names of our cats too. He knows what the goats, pigs, squirrels, cats, horses, and rabbits are also. Cash is very smart and we all love him!

World's Best Point System

Uncle Kevin, here are the results of our families point system. How's yours doing?

Prom

Burley's prom was just a couple of weeks ago, and Carlie went with one of her friends, Ryan Olson. They didn't have much time for a day date, because Carlie had to take the ACT that day, but their group did go up to the Cottonwood Caves and hike around. She was in a group with a bunch of very nice kids, and they all had fun. Carlie looked so beautiful in her dress, and thanks to mom her hair was fabulous!

We have been doing 4-H pigs for about the last 4 years, and we weren't really planning on doing them this year. However, at the very last minute, we found 4 pigs, which were the exact amount we needed. So on Saturday morning, we all woke up at about 9 to go and weigh them in. That is not early at all compared to what time we usually get up which is 5 A.M! They all weighed between 44-50 pounds. My pig is sick, but is getting better, and now our spare is sick, so hopefully we can get him feeling better. The pigs are so fun and cute to play with and we all enjoy them!

Lacy's Shop Project

Carlie just downloaded a lot of pictures onto the computer, so we have a lot of updating to do. I just got put into shop this semester, and am having a pretty good time. I made the cork board/magnet board/dry-erase board and we are now making co2 cars. Those however, are not my favorite! I am pretty stressed about it, but I have sketched my design and cut it out, so I am not too far behind. Wish me luck!!!

Renaissance Person

I guess that Lacy was asked to write about a Renaissance person in her history class. Her teacher said to pick someone that they knew that was good at everything and write about them and why they would be considered a Renaissance person. Well, Lacy chose Carlie. This was on the computer and I thought it was so sweet that I needed to post it. Lacy is a great girl and we all love her very much!

Renaissance Person

The person that I choose to be a Renaissance person would have to be my sister Carlie. Carlie is a wonderful person, inside and out. She is not only smart, but also has many other great qualities about her. Carlie maintains a 4.0 GPA. Just this past month, Carlie was elected the State BPA President. She is very responsible, and likes school. She is always caught up with her homework. Carlie has a love for music also. She is great at the piano and violin. Carlie also has a beautiful singing voice. Just this summer, Carlie won Rodeo Princess. She is planning on running for Queen this summer at the fair. Carlie loves animals. She is the person who takes care of most of them, which include horses, rabbits, goats, pigs, cats, and a dog. The many things Carlie is good at wouldn’t begin to fill within these lines, but know that she is someone who I respect beyond measure. Carlie is a wonderful person, and great example to everyone. In my eyes, she is amazing, and someone I would definitely consider to be a Renaissance person!
