I really am sorry if you tire of hearing about co-op... But it really is one of my most favorite times of the week, and, well, I hate to bring this up, but, it is my blog... Get the point? :)

Anyways, we got the confirmation email, and.... I GOT IN ALL THE CLASSES I WANTED TO!! I didn't last Semester... But, I had fun anyways, and met some new friends!!!

Now, here is a list of what I'll be taking

First Period;

Mmm...

With the faint smell of strawberries in the air, (my shampoo/conditioner) and the faint taste of butter and bread on my lips... Mmmmm! Oh, and the smell of the soup I made in the air, which I made yesterday and is warming in the crockpot. I'm starving, so good thing were about to eat! :) Hehe,sorry. That started composing itself in my head so I had to write it down somewhere! ;) The sun is actually kind of shining outside, but only a degree above freezing. (33. something.) I went outside and took pictures of my dolls outside today, but my ,uh, butt got very cold. :P I got really good pics of my dolls. The sun was shining on the trees, making shadows on the lawn, with the sun shining on the yard inbetween the trees. Its really very pretty. I dressed Rebecca in a skirt shirt and jacket, which was Rebeccas Hannukkah dress shoes, the skate outfit leggings, (pink) Molly's skating skirt, Saiges sweater outfit tank top, the photography outfit jacket, and a homemade scarf.

Nikki, my first doll was dressed in Nikki's meet boots, (really spelled Nicki by AG but I respelled Nikki) Saiges sweater outfit Jeggings, her meet outfit shirt,(under the leggins, cuz its a onsie), her skiing vest, and one of my headbands doubled over to criss cross, limegreen color. I took Penny, their horse out, too. With a saddle that sadly doesn't fit because I didn't know it didn't fit all horses. ( :( ) An underblanket and their saddlebags, with a pair of soakproof mittens, and a brush, and a purse!

I am finally getting around to updating.. Silly me...

Oh, my Aunt had her baby! His name is Alexander Daniel ____________________ (Her last name)

Love ya'll!

Animal Training.

Has anyone who reads my blog ever done any animal training..?  I read the American Girl Saige Books and her and her friend Gabi were training Picasso for the Fiesta, they were training him tricks such as nodding his head for "yes", and shaking his head to the side for "no", curling his upper lip and doing something else for "Duh". And, they trained him to paint! It was a Picasso original! (Hehe) Saige's friend Gabi used to train her dog and her grandma's horse so she knows all about it.
I just finished this book and it made me want to train our dogs..

:) I also want to train service dogs..

I wanted to do that after reading Nicki GOTY 2007.

But that, I still wanna do.

I finshed that book not long ago. *ahem* But, I still really want to do that!

Anyways, so I'm working on training our black lab, Gunner! (I'll post a pic soon.)

Alas, tonight I broke out the dog treats, broke them into pieces, set them on a plate, trying to keep them away from Gunner, but his super sniffer sniffed them out. (Darnit)
What I did was I took a piece, keeping it behind my back in my right hand, with my left hand I curled all but my pointer finger on my left hand, (you know what I mean) and made Gunner look at my hand, then I brought my hand down to his chest, making him follow it, to make him say yes! Then, I clicked my tongue and gave him a treat.

I clicked my tongue because after a while of them getting it right, when you click, they know they did it right and they expect a treat.

But, Gabi and Saige used a clicker..

..

..

..

A real clicker.

*humph*.

Anyways, I'll keep you posted on how it goes and maybe post pics,

Lots of Love

Atira and Gunner.

Resolutions; Revised!

Hi everyone!

I decided to do a revised version of my 2013 resolutions..

1.) I want, need to become closer to G-D, I like to think I have a very good relation with our L-RD, but there is always room for more!

2.) Read my Bible even more, really study it and think about what everything means.

3.) Listen to the sermons when we got to Church.

4.) Over all become closer to The L-rd!
I felt I really needed to add these, but these are always on my list if not on my New Years Resolutions, does that make sense?

Thanks!

Happy New Year!

I just can't believe its 2013... Its so crazy! I've had a good start of 2013, filled with family which is the best way to start a new year.

Right now I'm sitting on our couch with a pillow and my laptop watching Batman the dark night rises listening to my cousins (their brother/sister)argrue, and laugh! :O I'm having a good night, chatting and laughing with my cousins.. I dpon't get to see them often, so, yah!  There are candles shining on the table and its just a good night.. *sigh*.. They're staying the night tonight which will be fun!!!


Ciao!
