In My Pockets

• A Good Book
• I love to read so any chance I get I read so I need to have my book with me at all times, just in case.
  
• Money
• I have money in my pockets so that I can buy things like food or other items I may need. I also need money to pay for my lunch.
  
• Pencil
• I need a pencil in order to participate in my classes and pass them.
  
• Gum
• Sometimes you just need something to chew on and this stuff is delicious.
  
• Chap stick
  
• My lips get chapped really easy especially during the winter so it makes it nice when you've got this stuff on hand

Who Am I?

First theres a house,
empty and alone.
Along comes some kids
and now its a home.
The laughter and pounding
of small bare feet
fill its walls
with a joyful beat
Then along comes the sixth
a rough green eyed girl
followed by Annie
then Zachary Earl
she'd giggle and laugh
as she went through the day
working and riding
and raking the hay
when darkness would fall
and the stars came to play
out on the tramp
with her friends she would lay
looking up at the stars
that twinkled and shone
passing on knowledge
not many have known
the years have rolled on
and the kids have all grown
things are now different
but one thing is true
that home still has love
where they learned and they grew

My Weekend

Having a four-day weekend was absolutly amazing. On Friday I went up riding with my dad and grandpa to vaccinate the rest of the calves. It didn't take long and soon I was back at home. We then had to clean the house and eat lunch but afterward we got to go on an adventure....well sort of. We just went on a hike up this huge hill and played around a bit, but the view from up there was breath taking. We could see forever and everything was so small. When we got home we had a dance competition, but I was just a judge. it was my younger siblings and cousins who were dancing and boy were they entertaining.
On Saturday we just went in and watched the football game and they won!So now we're going to state but since East won we have to go all the way to Cheyenne for the game. after the game we just went home. On Sunday we just went to church then stayed home the rest if the time.
On Monday we went back to work. We had to go riding again to separate calves from their moms then hauling them all back home. Well that was basically how my weekend went.

Slow Dance

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask "How are you?
"Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say "Hi"?
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.


When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
