What About Christmas

This year we should not spend a lot of money on Christmas gifts. So make a limit and try not to go over it. If you get your child(ren) an expensive gift, buy them something that goes with the expensive gift like balls, pucks, sticks, pads, skates, helmets and other stuff. Then if you are not at the limit, buy them little things. For girls buy them nail polish, makeup and other things. For a boy get them Lego, action figures, trucks and other things like that. This year we should give like Jesus gave us. Give money to people in Africa for food, water, shelter, clothing, games, bedding, and even go over to help them out. The people there are always looking for some help them out. If you help them build a better looking community they will really appreciate it. You could go down with your family for the Christmas break to help and it is probably even warmer there then here.

I feel this way because it is nice to give to people that don’t have money, shelter. For so much we can help them it is such a good thing to do. Even if you can’t give to them, give to a shelter, homeless people, children’s hospitals or even anything.

Disasters - Dante's Peak

I picked this movie piece because it is neat. They used camera trickery, CGI (computer-generated images), digital footages, matte paintings, Rain Head, and wind machine. I was impressed with what they have done with all the different techniques, such as how they where using the wind machine for all the wind and dirt flying.

My 2nd VOKI

"I pooted! Hello Future Boyfriend! Funny & Embarrassing Kids!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_t1lE9fj14Q



This little girl will now be embarrassed for the rest of her life and will be called poop girl. Her mom should never had put that video on. She is only 7 now and when she gets to be a teenager she will be mad at her mom. If this was me I wouldn't let my mom put it on because I don't want to be called names for having a video of me tooting on YouTube. I think the little girl's mom was mean for putting that on.

What I did on The Weekend

On the weekend we weaned 4 colts names Gravy, Business, Buster and Lucky. They are in with 4 foals Tango, Spider, Silver and Prince. It is so funny, because they like to run, jump and kick up their heels. It is funny when you feed them, because they will wait patiently, untill you give then their hay.

4-H Back Up and Running

So our club is back up and running! We are planning a lot of things for this year including finishing our 1 2 3 books. We are having our first riding meeting on my birthday. So hopefully I don't get the birthday bumps from my dad and all the boys in the club. Good thing there are only 5 of them in it! :) The picture below is the club from last year!

Lizzy! and Spruce Meadows!

On Saturday I got to ride my horse Lizzy again!! She is only two

and she is doing great. :) She has had a blanket, hood, slinky, splint boots on front, saddle, saddle pad, bridle, bit,and a lot of other things on her! In the picture it is Lizzy with her blanket and splint boats on!!

Then on Thursday we went to Spruce Meadows for the day! It was so much fun to see all

the horses jump. One thing that I liked was that I was so close to the Famous IAN MILLAR!! I was so close I could put my hand up and touch his leg but I didn't want to scare him. It was very cool to walk around the place and see all the horse stuff. There were even things to buy. I got a hay net for my horse and it is HOT PINK!!! Here are some pictures from Spruce Meadows-

Easter Break

On the Easter Break, one of my friends came over on Monday and we rode the horses for 2 hours and then my horse was so foamy that I had to give her a bath. Then on Tuesday we had a barrel racing clinic and my friend came with us and my horse was so soft after that. Then on Thursday we had a roping clinic and my horse like the cattle and when she is actully a racing horse. Then on Sunday I had a Jackpot and it was so fun because I got to see my friend from Consort. We all got a pail to feed our horses with and mine is hot pink. So that was my Easter Break.

Christy's Diary

This is something that we did in reading class about a girl that got adopted in the 1970's. Her name is Christy and this year she would be 38 years old.

One entry for a Diary in Christy's Diary

March 4, 1992

I am 20 years old and I still get to see my mother off and on but I still life with my adopted family. I still want to have a Rainbow family, have a husband that would make supper some days but a lot if I am not there to make the supper. I still like to talk to my mother on the phone so we talk a lot but we want to meet again in the park or somewhere again.

The thing that I think about open adoption is that people get to see the back ground on that child and can get and medicinal things on that child that the person adopted.

Today

Today we are in blogging and we are suppose to blog, so I am blogging right now. In Writers Workshop we did RAFTS and I am doing The Rodeo Clown @ the Calgary Stampede, and his name is Bo Bo.

Can you read this and than leave a comment please. I had to write this for Writers Workshop. This is my story under this message.


Rodeo News

Hi I am Kjerstin from Neutral Hills Rodeo Wranglers
reporting the Rodeo in Oyen. This rodeo took place on July 12,
2009.

When the Rodeo Clown went to jump through the hope of
fire when his bike went of course and went right in the ring of
fire. Than the Emergency Resonance went into the ring to get the
Rodeo Clown and when they got him. Good thing for the fire
resistant clothing that the Rodeo Clown was wearing when he
went into the fire. The quickly got him onto a stretcher and
rushed him to the nearest hospital. That is when they said that
he had a broken his right leg and arm from crashing into the bull
shoots.

Then they had the bull riding next and that was bad the 1st
on out got a bull named Mister Eats A Lot and the rider got on to
him and they let him out and he was a mean bull and he got his
rider off in 4.5 seconds. He was so mean the rider had to jump
the fence and get away from the bull. The funny thing was that
the bull rider landed on a person and a child. Than the next bull
was named The Worst Meany Ever and his named suited him
because he was mean the rider got onto him and they let him out
of the shots and he got his rider off in like 3 seconds, and than
tried to kill everything in his way. They had to bring out the 2
horses and cowboys to rope him and bring him out and he took
after one of the rodeo clown, which was funny.

Than they started to do Barrel Racing and the first one
went out and when they went around the first barrel the horse
slipped and than fell and landed on the rider’s ankle and than got
up and ran away. It took 5 people to catch the horse that took
off. Than the 5th rider and horse went out and got a fast time of
13.5 seconds that to me and everyone else there is very fast and
that is because it is a small arena. Than the last horse and rider
of 25 horses and riders went and they got the fastest time there
was it was a time of 11.2 seconds.

At the ending they enounced the winners for the Queen and
Princesses. That was interesting because I knew 2 of the 3 that
won the Queen and Princesses. The Queen Was Annemarie White
witch is from my 4-H club Neutral Hills 4-H Rodeo Wranglers. The
Princess that I knew was Kelsey Simpson, she is also from my
4-H club. They Rodeo around the Arena about 10 times well we
said the Cowboys Prayer, O’ Canada, and a lot more things.
At the end of this Rodeo for entertainment they had another
clown there and he tried the hop of fire and got though it safely.
Than they had a miniature bull there and everyone went to get
their photos token with the bull. They had to wear a cowboy hat,
chest pad and chaps. It was a good thing because there was a
lot of little kids that wanted to try to ride a bucking bull. The cool
part was that when you got your picture token you had to put
your hand up in the air.

This was such a good Rodeo but a bit scary with all the
accidents through out the Rodeo. Everyone did an awesome job
with the Rodeo. But most Canadians made the top ten.

The Book that I am Reading About the Holocaust

The class (Grade 6 & 7's) are reading a book Called Number the Stars by Lois Lowry. The book is called that because Ellen Rosen and her parents are Jews and the Nazis are looking for them to put them into concentration camps. The Nazis wants all Jews in the camps and the Rosens are on the list. The have almost bin cough but not cough. Ellen was at Annemarie's home with her parents and sister Kirsti. The soldiers came pounding on the door and wanted to search the house and so the soldiers did so and then Annemarie ripped the necklace off of Ellen. The solders came into Annemarie's room and told the girls to go into the living room with her parents. Annemarie had Ellen's necklace in her hand the whole time and it left an indent in her hand. Then her dad was talking to Annemarie's Uncle Henrik in code on the phone so that the girls and Annemarie's mom will go there that day.

We are reading this book because we are learning about our history and so we don't do the mistakes that they did so we don't do them.

I am reading Four Perfect Pebbles by Lisa Perl and Marion Blumenthal Lazan. It is about what happened in the early 1900 hundreds. When Hitler puts the Jews into concentration camps. So Marion the main character and her mom, dad and brother Albert are in the camp and the was so they can live is to find four perfect pebbles that look the same, witch is in color, shape and size and then if Marion finds four of them they can get out of the camp. Did you know that Hitler went to jail for 4 months. It is a good book and if you want to buy it you can go to the link.

If you want to buy the book you can go to the link under, you can even read the whole book online if you don't want to buy it.
