Just About Anything!

I haven't had much time for my blog recently so I thought that I should post some little things until I an get some of the photos I wanted. Enjoy! :) 

Me and Huddy in his little bed in Texas, fun... :) 

Sasha Kitten was sleeping so I thought that I would nag the one chance of her being still then. Its a good thing I did because she is so cute! :)

This is my favorite, SJ took most of these pics though. 

I was running through some of my pictures and I found this one of Huddy. He was feeling a bit slap-happy right after his nap.

WOC Trip :)

This week, on Monday through Wednesday, I went with my grade to a camp an hour away. The trip was called WOC (World is Our Classroom). The trips main purpose was for the 8th graders and the 7th graders to grow a bond between them and create new friendships. You see, 7th grade is considered High School here in Brazil, so technically this is our frist year of high school. The school wants the 8th graders to be there to help us with anything we need. We did many team activities and I actually did meet lots of new people.  I thought that it was really fun and I can't wait to go next year. 

This is Jessica. She is a friend that I have made here and that went on the WOC trip with me. 

The pool at WOC was freezing! But is was refreshing when it got REALLY hot. (Left to RIght: Me, Jessica, and Lucia another friend)

When doing team activities, we were divided into groups and had to come up with group names and cheers.  Our group name was "Snap Daddy" I really had no say in it but, yeah...;) 

This was a net/ climby wall thingy. (descriptive words ;) After we had our teams, we held something kinda like the "Amazing Race"  where one person on the team would have to complete a challenge, then pass the team's jersey to the next team-member. 

The next day, we started to make rockets out of bottles. Here we are just decorating them but later during the trip, they have a special machine that they shoot the rockets from and ours went surprisingly high. Yay! 

Here is Jessica and I (on the trip we spent lots of time together on the trip cause of same room, group, and we have lots of the same interests :) We were talking to Mrs.Cordell (math teacher) while watching others "attempt" to fish. 

Here we are at the lake, right after swimming and are trying to warm ourselves.. ;) 

This is all of the seventh grade that had come on the trip. There were at least 5 people not there. Its too bad they missed this year but next year they could come again.

Finally, on the last night, we roasted marsh mellows! I actually cooked 3, but one fell right as I brought it to my mouth, so I just ate 2... very disappointing (hehe) 

Sarah Jane's Gymnastics

This Sunday Sarah Jane had a gymnastics "competition" with her school against 2 other schools.

SJ doing an amazing back-bend. 

Sarah Jane just finished her vault section. 

The whole "Chapel" elementary gymnastics. 

SJ got her medal presented by our mom . 

Going to The Beach!

Almost there! So close to home! So cool! :)

The scenery is so cool! I love the beach and the trip there!

We got to ride through mountains during the trip. Beautiful!

Huddy is ready and excited to go "see the waves"

Hudson's 3rd Birthday!

We celebrated Hudson's Birthday here in Brazil. Struggling a little with his cake (what does leite mean?) but he loved  the presents, attention, and the Cars candle!

Animals

I saw this on a recent eagle cam and I thought that it was cute because you can rarely see both of the parents in the nest with their babies. (They are feeding them fish, can you see them?) 

I also thought that this picture was cute! Hehe! :)

A Walk in the Park

Saturday we went to the park here in Sao Paulo. It was the perfect weather and we even brought along Benny! There was a lake, trees to climb, and a playground for Hudson. It was really nice to just relax and stop for a day. :)


All of us in a tree at the park

Benny is at the Park too..though I don't know how the whole exercise thing is working for him!
