Happenings

Sam enjoys grossing me out by showing me his cut toe. But other than that everything has been going well. We got our driveway paved on Tuesday and I go out every chance I get to rollerblade. :) My brothers are already bored of it and say, "You're going out AGAIN Ella? Can you do something else other than school and rollerblading?"
My reply: "Believe it or not, I really like rollerblading, and yes, it is within my capabilities to do other things."

Isaac's concert went very well on Sunday. We brought Grandma and Grandpa, Christina, Rebekah and Courtney. My fav. piece was: Ride of the Valkyries. It was AWESOME!

Favorite saying: 'i' before 'e' except... when you run a feisty heist on a weird beige foreign neighbor.
Love it! Bye. :)

I am asking for prayer as a huge hurricane is going to come really close to my Aunt's home. Part of the city has already been evacuated. They're calling the storm Frankenstorm because it's SO big! It's going to be hard of her to have to stay in for a while with a new born and a toddler. Thanks! :) 

Yes I'm Alive

Sorry I haven't written in a long time. School's kept me quite busy. I've been practicing piano a lot since the next SAT is coming up in March. My family made August 13th spectacular for me. I turned 13 on the 13th! I just couldn't wait till thanksgiving for my favorite pies, so instead of a Birthday cake I had Birthday pies! (My favorite kind too!)

A Poem

I was bored yesterday so I decided to write a poem:
                                              A Day at the Farm

The rooster is crowin’

The farmer awakes

He starts the mowin’

His wife starts to bake

The cow needs milkin’

The dog needs fed

The field needs tillin’

The owl goes to bed

The horses need ridden

The baby starts to cry

Off to bed he is bidden

Mom will sing him a lullaby

The day goes fast

The sun’s going down

Now the day is past

The farmer frowns

Tomorrow though, more work will be done

Now off to bed before up comes the sun

SAT(Student Achievement Testing)

Hey! I just got back from my test! Heh heh. This is probably the worst it's gone out of all of them. But, I don't think I'll get below 70 % right. The hot weather is amazing! I mean it's still a March in Michigan! Dad thinks it's still going to snow, which it probably is. Sigh... The Father Daughter banquet went really well. The guest singer was Chris August. He is really good. Well, I don't really know what else to say so I guess that means it's time to get off.

Ella's Blog

Hey! This is Ella. I've officially taken over the Sarver Blog. I hope to be posting on it regularly. Things have been going great in the Sarver household. It is SO warm outside! (and beautiful) Isaac is hoping to start his garden soon. (I help w/it) Having the Glidewells staying here has been a real pleasure. I like playing with their three older girls. They're around my age. I can't wait till we can take our canoe out on our lake. Just recently we got a new dog his name is Taron and he is 1 and a half years old. Well, that's all I have to say right now, so see ya! 

Lazarus

This blog has been officially resurrected. Our family did not all get eaten by rabid jellyfish or kidnapped by Antarcticans. We just kind of forgot about the whole blogging thing.
We just finished our first year of Classical Conversations and loved it! I was in Challenge B, Ella was in Masters, Reuben was in Apprentices, and Sam was in Abecedarians. (yes, that is a real word) Classical Conversations is a curriculum that I will leave to my Mom to explain. I studied Latin, Logic, Debate, Chemistry, Mock Trial, Literature, Short story writings, and History of science. I did a science fair project, wrote my own short story (which you can read upon request), committed to memory all the latin  noun declensions, a portion of latin conjugations, and the personal pronoun declensions. We did a whole lot of other stuff too. I had an awesome teacher and an awesome classroom along with awesome classmates. We had so much fun. I can't wait till next year... but then again, this is all about me. If you want to read more about me, go to my blog, but wait till you're done reading this! I know it is awesome, I can't help it really, but read about everybody else first.
Ella has discovered her interest in violin and continues to excel rapidly in her musical skills. She just received a new violin on Thursday that is beautiful. I think I'm starting to annoy her because I ask her to play it so much. The make of the violin she has is an Amati milano. She is also working on writing a book. She hasn't really told me much about it, but she works on it a lot. I'm sure it will be good.
Hopefully Mom will get back into the habit of updating more frequently. Bye!
