"Get Both of Them!!!!"

We just got adorable puppies!!! They are so sweet. Mom and Dad promised that as soon as we got a new house, we could get a dog, something I have wanted for SO long. So on Thursday we went to the Maricopa Animal Shelter. But after getting lost and not knowing where to go, we got there right after they closed the kennels. So we went home very disappointed. But, luckily Friday was a half day!!!! So right after school we started driving. We got there and started looking for a dog. There was this one called Taco that we had seen online and he was a cute little puppy. But when we go there he was not a puppy. The picture needed to be updated!!!He was cute, but not what we were looking for. Then there was Cinder and she was cute, but not right. So we went to Walmart and Mom talked to Dad while me and the boys ate ice cream cones from McDonald's. I also showed off my awesome knowledge of Spanish. :) We had also seen this cute picture of a chihuahua mix. So we got directions from Dad to this Pet Smart all the way in Deer Valley!! But we went there on a very long drive! When we got there we went in and there she was! She was from the Arizona Humane Society and they had taken her to the Pet Smart. So we got there and she was so cute!!! But we almost did not get her. This other lady wanted her too!! But, luckily the other lady wanted a purebred and not a mix. So she left and we got to hold her. She is so tiny, not even 4 pounds! But in the cage next to Selma, (that was the shelters name for her) there was a equally adorable pit bull/ rottweiler puppy named Rainy!(Again, a shelter name.) And she was so playful and cute. Selma was more dainty and preferred to sit on my lap. But the boys loved Rainy! I was so sad because I loved both of them but I wanted Selma!! So after Mom couldn't decide, she called Dad. This was all after about 45 min. We couldn't leave! And so Dad looked at the pictures of them online and helped Mom decide. And guess what he said?? He said we could have both!!! We were so happy!!! So we got things all figured out and food and a crate for them. And then we drove home!! They are family dogs but Selma is more mine and Rainy is perfect for the boys. They both are so tiny. Also on the way home we picked out new names. Selma and Rainy are cute, but not for them. So now Selma is Coco and Rainy is.. well that's a work in progress, we are thinking about Starry. Coco and Starry are not potty trained so we will have to work on that. Wish us luck:)!!! So Coco is the one that is being held and Starry is the one all curled up. You will probably see the difference, Coco is petite and Starry is more stocky. Starry in the picture is all pooped out from the boys playing with her. The title is '' Get Both of Them'' because that's how a Dad told Mom. So now we have puppies. Hopefully they will stay small and only grow a little. And hopefully they won't destroy the house!!

Also today is Ari's sixth birthday! And Bram's second birthday last week, so the joke is one is for Bram's birthday and the other for Ari's!!

(Sorry the pictures are not very good, they were taken with Dad's phone.)

Well, the first week has passed. On Monday, I got the whole rules lecture in 6 out of 7 classes. One thing I miss about the elementary, is that since there is one teacher, I don't get 6 different lectures. On Tuesday, we started to do some real work with EESI testing. On Wednesday that was done except for in math, of course. Thursday was real work with note taking and receiving assignments. That night I came home and found my history notebook missing with all my stuff in it and the study guide that was due the next day!!!! I was freaking out. More to come on that. Friday was same, and I think I have gotten my schedule down. There was many times over the week that I wanted to follow my old schedule, only to remember and hurry back to the right class to get there on time. Oops! Well, that day after school, Asher cam up to me and lo and behold, he had my notebook!!! Yeah!! He said some girls found it in the bathroom. Why it would be in the bathroom, I have no clue. Oh well. I will have to go but I have more stuff to say and will just have to write later!!!!

A few more days......

Where has the summer gone?? I must once gain feel sad that summer is almost over! Three more days and then school starts. Well, I don't know what else to write.I might have a few friends over tomorrow and go swimming. But I am not sure. And we meet teachers tomorrow. To meet the adults who will torture us for the next year. Actually, they are awesome teachers, and now that all the really horrible ones are gone, it will be okay. So....thats all. Bye!

School starts so soon!!!

What am I to do, school starts on Monday!! Actually, I am really excited to be at school with friends, but not so excited to be with schoolwork, oh well, what can I do?? But we had a lovely end after having Grampa and Grama Green over and the Snells. Fun Fun! And now we must get back to a long 10 months.......
