Songs

Hey Guys! I was recently allowed to watch Pirates of Caribbean: At World's End. The main song and my  favorite(!) was Hoist the Colors! Hoist the Colors is now my favorite song! It goes like this,

Lyrics:

Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho,
thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.

The king and his men
stole the queen from her bed
and bound her in her Bones.
The seas be ours
and by the powers
where we will we'll roam.

Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.

Some men have died
and some are alive
and others sail on the sea
– with the keys to the cage...
and the Devil to pay
we lay to Fiddler's Green!

The bell has been raised
from it's watery grave...
Do you hear it's sepulchral tone?
We are a call to all,
pay head the squall
and turn your sail toward home!

Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never shall we die. 

Isn't it a wonderful song! I love it! I only wish that you guys can hear the tune.

Claire's 8th Birthday Experience

Hello! We have a family tradition in our family that my Nana made. On our eighth birthday, we get to pick a Sea World Experience and do the experience for our present! I did the Dolphins, Garrett did the Belugas,  and today, Claire did the Sea Lions! It was all very interesting, she went into a changing room and came out in two wet suits,you are usually in one wet suit, but it was 39 degrees today and the water was originally cold, so she had to wear two. Anyway, she went with one of the trainers to the stadium and do a whole bunch of cool tricks with a Sea Lion named Dylan. They made him smile, and stick out his tongue, and dance, and shake his booty, and she got to ride him! It was a fun day. And I had the most awesome lunch ever! I had the most delicious ribs, and fries, and mint cake! They were sooooooo good! And we went on rides and ugh! Best Day Ever! And Claire loved it! Hahaha!

Christmas!

Hey Guys! I know most of you don't check out my blog that much anymore, but please do cause I will be getting on more often now that I remembered my password! Anyway, Christmas! I'm SUUUUPER excited for my family to open their presents this year because I got them all some really nice ones! I can't tell you what I got my parents until after Christmas though, because they check out my blog to, and I wouldn't want them to know so soon! But I will tell you what I got my siblings.

Garrett: A box of "Make It Your Self" crystals you can shape and smooth into crystal dinosaurs. =)

Claire: A purse with imprinted designs to color in with fabric markers.= It is colorless at the moment. =) 

Ty: A 3-D Toy Story coloring book. =)

Is that really it? My family seems so much bigger! It doesn't matter. Heck! They're expensive enough as it is! I honestly just really want a Gift Card to Barnes and Nobles, or the Book Shop this year! Ever since I moved I've had( If it's possible. =) ) even more of a craving for reading! I'm listening to audio books as well now,so I can read and do something else at the same time! What did you guys get your family for Christmas?

Ty

Uh Oh! Ty had a 104 degree fever today! The day after his birthday to! We'll just have to see what happens!

Christmas!

Hey Guys! What are you hoping for for Christmas? I'm hoping for a Barnes and Noble gift card, or a breyer, or horse stuff for Christmas! I'm super excited! I hope we all get what we want!

Ty's Birthday!

Thanksgiving

Hey Guys! Sorry I haven't written in so long! There hasn't been anything going on lately! But I got some now. For Thanksgiving we went to Sea World instead of eating Thanksgiving dinner because my Uncle was coming a couple days later! So we went to Sea World and had fun for a whole day! When Uncle Sam and Ashley came over though, we had a real feast! Chunky mashed potatoes with bacon and butter, turkey, cranberry sauce, corn, stuffing, Apple crumble, pumpkin pie, and banana coconut cream pie! It was really good! Happy Thanksgiving!
