~Busy Life~

Wow, it has been a couple months since i have been on my blog, let alone logged in to blogger!! Sheesh, can you say fail? lol
    I know it's always the same thing over and over, 'I'm Busy!'. and it's true, I am busy.. being back in Ohio on our extended academic vacay. I've been pretty busy being back in OH since April, but the business still continues to continue. =P

    Time with my friends is always fun. Co-op is over for right now, but Cornerstone (our newest co-op & the one i really enjoy for academic reasons) starts back up soon after the New Year & I'm not sure when Learning Tree starts back up. We have yet to register for classes there; I'm not even sure what classes they are offering yet or if I'll end up taking any. I know at CS (Cornerstone) I am taking Drama Production -which I can't wait for!-, Career Directions -mom's making me take it-, & Orchestra. I want to take choir over there too, but I'm not sure if I will or not yet. =?

Along with co-op I have my regular schooling at home.. busy getting high school credits in and over with. I'm only sophomore year, but I'm half way there! lol

    I wish summer was here again.. I miss all my zoo friends, but I get to see some about once a month. Can't wait until the 30th when we are having a ZooAide get-together for all the present ZooAides. It's a fun summer theme & we're going to be doing some games and then checking out the Wildlights too.. should be pretty awesome.

    We miss our daddy as he is in ND still.. )= Christmas won't be the same without him, but we're excited to be able to see him on the 12th of January! He will be here for a week before he has to return to the Dakota tundra. )'=That will be a sad day.

   

There is way too much to talk about and I could go on forever and ever and ever and ever and ever, but I don't want to do that as that will be very time consuming.  Besides, I think we have some dessert in the kitchen that is calling my name! ;)

=D

~YAY YAY YAY!~

YAY YAY YAY!

It is OFFICIAL!  We are going to have an Uncle Chad Nation!

It's pretty exciting (:

And then we'll have an Aunt Tiffany Nation. :D

Congrats Aunty Tiff & Chad! :D :D

~October 18th~

*sigh*.
today has been a good-filled school day. 
right now, kenz is outside, zack in his room, & mom resting on the couch.  i think gpa is on the backporch resting, as well.  the house is rather quiet, tho.
we are all feeling a little down, what with our colds. /:  luckily i am kinda over mine, just my stomach bothering me.  zack has been the one w/ a fever, and hasn't had it today.  kenzie really hasn't had it.  and now mom is a little stuffy.  oh how we l0ve colds! :{  JK JK JK!
not much to report since the last post.  i know i need to get some pics up so i'll go find some and report on that. 
i have co-op tomorrow and thursday. oh the joy.  and nothing aside from that and school work.
well:: i will go find some photos and get some posting going on! :D
=)

~GAHHHH!!~

ok, i know i haven't updated this in like forever, but i have been B.U.S.Y.!!
ever since mom & the sibs got back from ND we have been going NON-STOP!!
we just haven't had time to catch our breath..
i am sick w/ some kind of head cold or something. and i don't feel too well.  but tomorrow we get to sleep in and get some much-needed R&R.
as i am sitting here typing that i am sick, my brother just came up saying he took his temperature, and has some kind of 99* temp.  ugh we're all gonna be sick! 
this past week has been pretty awesome, though.  monday we did some school --not too exciting.  tuesday i had cornerstone co-op and then a GS meeting for kenzie (and i am a helper for her troop).  wednesday we didn't do much..  thursday i had learning tree co-op and shakespeare auditions (do NOT get my started on that topic!!)  and then friday we went to Newport Aquarium with the millers.  and today (saturday) we delivered all of our 1400+ weekend newspaper bags. so we can DEFINITELY sleep-in tomorrow! :D :D :D
i have not had anytime to keep up w/ either of my blogs. ( including my new one for my photography ..::  CassPhotography ::..  )  funny thing is, i haven't even had time to take pictures of all the stuff we've been doing!!  GAHHHHH!! lol
this coming week we don't have anything planned other than our tuesday and thursday co-ops, and we are hitting the school books ..  we need a good school week.  /: 
hope-fully we will be able to have a calm week, and then i'm sure it'll be back to craziness!  we are so run-down tho, and now all three of us kids don't feel good, that we need a good day of R&R. 
well i think i am going to retire this post and i hope to be able to update this sometime soon w/ what goes on.  in the meantime, my mom is better about updating her blog w/ what we do(:
=)

~Co-op~

well i am sitting here listening to the rain come on and go off (if i may put it that way) and thought i could update my blog(: lol

i have to say, we have been so busy lately it's ridiculous!!  we got back into our school books again this week and are still trying to get into the routine of things..
lovin' co-op so far, too!!  it's so great to hang w/ friends again and do other classes that i don't get to at home.  i love the choir!  everything sounds so pretty when we put the parts together and just being in a choir is so cool.

i am also taking shakespeare..  i like it, but it can be pretty confusing/:  but i'm getting thru it.  we don't have any quizes or anything on it but we talk about the book in class and it's pretty fun.  we have auditions for roles in tlhe play the first thursday in october.  i'm kinda nervous, but i'm gonna give it a shot.  what do they say:: no guts, no glory?  whatever, i'm gonna try out and see what happens(:

there are many new families, and many families who have been for as long as we have or so .. 

i love being able to go somewhere where you can not only take great classes, but also be able to spend time w/ friends while enjoying our classes.  i don't have any serious classes where we have to sit and be quiet, no talking alowed and we have to take notes. NO..the only classes i'm taking are choir and shakespeare.  not do NOT get me wrong:::they are important and you have to respect the rules, but as far as being super strict..they aren't and that makes it even more fun..(:

basically the summary of co-op..

Co-oP = awesome(:
