New Blog

I've decided to move my blog to a new site. The site is www.sierrasays.blogspot.com. Hope to see you there!

Late Spring Break

I have not posted in a while, but here is my spring break. It was so long and eventful that it would take years to write it all. These are mostly just pictures of the highlights from the trip, but if you want to hear the whole story then you can go to either jennysjabberings.blogspot.com or mauniasplace.blogspot.com. Hope you like the pictures! (By the way, if it seems like I have a fake smile in the pictures, it's probably because I had the flu for most of the vacation. It was NOT fun to be sick on vacation!)

AUSTIN

This is my sister, me, and my friend Rylie in the bath tub after getting out of the pool. Rylie is my friend that moved to Texas in fourth grade.
While we were staying with Rylie in Austin we decided to go to some caves that had some really cool formations. I'm not quite sure what this one is called.

These are called soda straws. There were tons of them hanging from the ceiling. They were called soda straws because if you took them off the ceiling you could use them as straws. (I would probably like to wash mine first though. :-0 )

My mom and I went to see the bats by this one bridge. There are about 1.5 million bats there at the height of the season. The bats kept coming out even after my mom and had left. It was amazing!

SAN ANTONIO

The building that we are standing in front of is the Alamo. It is a really old building where a famous war took place, but I can't remember what war it was. (It must be because my teacher has been filling my head with the tons of wars that have happened for U.S. independence. Who would have known there were so many!)

This is the friendship torch. It was really cool to see it at night, but I don't have any pictures of it at night.

Our final destination was my Grandpa and Nana's house. They have a dog, a horse, a dog, and two cats. This is my Grandpa with me and my sister. His name is Cary and my Nana is named Joe.

This is my Nana and Grandma with their dog Barley. Barley always had to be in the exact same spot that you were, but he was tons of fun.

This is still Barley.

This is still Barley except that in this picture he is in the lake which is out back by the horse's barn.

This is Nana standing by the horse's barn. The horse's name is Cutter. He was also lots of fun. Everyone got to ride him. My sister and I also got to help feed him.

Cutter was a great horse!

Those are most of the things that happened during spring break, but there is still more to see on my mom or sister's blog. It was quite the vacation!

My Trip to Lava Springs

If anyone has ever seen High School Musical 2, then you should know what Lava Springs is. It is where almost the entire movie was filmed. By chance, we were going to a friend's wedding. When we were driving through the front gates, my sister and I seemed to notice that the place looked really familiar. Then, it hit us. It looked familiar because we were looking at the set of High School Musical 2. We saw a few things that might look familiar to you. First, there was the bridge where Vanessa and Zac (Otherwise known as Troy and Gabriella.) sang "I've Got to Go My Own Way". We saw the golf course where multiple scenes were filmed, the pool where "All For One" was filmed, and many other places that were seen in the movie. It was very exciting! We have lots of pictures of it and I would put them on my blog, but first I have to get my mom to show me which folder the pictures are in. Has anyone else accidentaly been someplace, but found out that the place is really awesome? Comment and tell me!!!

The Long Lost Song

For those of you who don't know, my dad is not very musical. I'm sure that he would admit it to you if you asked him. Anyways, the other day, at my aunt and uncle's house, we found a song called misty. It turns out that it was written by my dad about his dog, Misty, which is funny all by itself, but what is really funny, are the lyrics. They are "Misty you are pretty and you're smart, you are a golden lab. You were trained while young. Remember that you are supposed to be smart and nice to me. You know when it is going to rain or anything else here even an Earthquake." When the words are "it's g0oing to rain" it goes up one note at a time and back down again, so if you are playing it and singing it at the same time, it is really really funny. The music looks like this:


Just thought you would think it's funny! :-)

Late Christmas

I know that you're probably all thinking that it's weird that I haven't written about Christmas, but I just seem to have not gotten around to writing on my blog in quite a while now. We spent our Christmas in Utah with my grandparents. I can officially say that I know what cold is like. I suppose that everyone like me that lives in California probably thinks that it's cold when either you can see your breath or it is 50 degrees or lower outside. After being to Utah in the winter, I no longer think that that is really that cold. I now think that I can only say that I'm cold when it is snowing or 18 degrees outside. (BRRRRRRRR!!!!!) While in Utah, I spent most of my time in the snow building snow walls, snow men, and making snow angels.

My dad tried to help me build an igloo, but the snow was
too soft :-(
The snow was a lot of fun, but if any of you have ever been in snow, then you know that the fun has to stop eventually because one of the adults has to try and ruin the fun by saying that we better come in and warm up or else someone is going to get frostbite. (Why do they always do stuff like that? It's like they think that playing in the snow would actually make us sick or give us frostbite! As if!) When the moment we had been waiting for was finally here, everyone rushed out of the snow and into our nice warm beds on Christmas eve. On Christmas morning, my sister and I were up bright and early to open gifts. Unfortunately, the parents didn't want to be up that early, so when the grandparents were up, my grandma helped me find some bells. We used those bells to get those sleepyhead parents out of bed. I couldn't believe that my mom and dad would even dream of sleeping in on vacation! When I had gotten then up by opening their door and shaking the bells, everyone gathered in the living room. It was a very exciting Christmas for me. In the middle of opening a present, a different present started to ring. When I opened it, it turned out to be a cell phone! I got a ton of other great stuff to like Nancy Drew computer games, a miopup (An electronic dog), and a lot of other things that I would name if there weren't so many of them. Christmas was tons of fun! I can't wait till next Christmas!

No Competition

I recently read a blog by someone about my age. His name is Cody Byers. His blog was VERY funny... and mine isn't. I could try to be funny, but I would still probably be no competition to his very funny blog. If you want to read his blog, you can find the link on the side of my website with the rest of the websites I like. The website is kidwithexperiences.blogspot.com. If you get the chance, this blog is very funny to read so you should go to it. You should also see some other blogs that people I know have written like my sisters blog (mauniasplace.blogspot.com), my mom's blog (jennysjabberings.blogspot.com), and a couple other websites that I like. I am sure that you will be very amused by them. :-)

My Pets

My family used to have a lot of pets. Over the years, we have had two rats, a gecko, a dog, lots of fish, and two hermit crabs. The rats, both hermit crabs, and all the fish died. :-( The rats died first and my sister and I were both really sad. Then the hermit crabs died. My sister and I each had our own hermit crab. Mine died first because he didn't want to move out of his shell and find a new one. Eventually, he just got way o big for his shell and it suffocated him. He died the same day as my fish did. (We aren't very good with fish.) A little while ago, my sister's hermit crab died. Unlike mine where we dug a hole and put my hermit crab in it, my sister put her hermit crab in a velvet box with his shell, a note, and a couple other things. Then my mom and sister gave him a proper burial in the backyard and marked his grave with a spoon that reads. "Here lies Mr. Wiggles" (That was his name.) After all of those pets died, we were left with only the dog, Cassidy, and the gecko, J.J. My all of those dying pets helped my mom reach her goal. That goal is to have all of the pets dead by the time my sister and I are both at collage. (My sister and I didn't think that was very nice.) Even though we only have two pets left now, one of them is the cutest one. That one is my dog Cassidy and I have an entire story about her. I love my pets and my goal is the opposite of my mom's. My goal is to be able to keep the pets alive and be able to enjoy them for as long as I can. (Pictures will be added soon.)
