Life

     Sorry for lack of posts, yet again. My sister, Hannah, was going to post some pictures, but she couldn't from her I-pad (Freshmen and sophomore's get them for high school, I might get one next year!). So here is what I did today:
I went to church- we started reading Romans in our Sunday school class.
I ate lunch- leftover pizza!
I did my homework- Spanish, here's a pic.

 I had to make a book with 20 school items, fun stuff :)

I went shopping for khakis- success!
I posted on the blog- in the making. :)

So that's my life. What's yours?

-Emma :D

Pictures!

     Here are some pics of hair, cookies, flowers, and nature.

My crazy hair..

 Cookie dough!!

Pretty!!

 This is not a caterpillar, just a leaf thingy that falls off one of the trees :)

 Yeah, the leaves hadn't changed color that much yet.

 A plant close up

A plant farther away! :)

I love this weather!!!

-Emma :D

See You at the Pole!

     See You at the Pole, otherwise known as SYATP, is an event worldwide where students of all ages gather around their flagpole and...

Pray.

One of the most powerful things we can do at this age is pray, so to think if a group of eighty students or so at your school gathered, and prayed for about 45 minutes, how much an impact that would make.

I hope you take the opportunity and participate, even if you are home schooled, you could go to a local school, or your friends school.

This event takes place tomorrow morning, sorry for posting this a bit late!

God can do amazing things...let Him use YOU!

-Emma :D

-Emma :D

Congratulations Jess! Here's your award:

Tagged!

     Well. I was tagged by Dakota in a tag that you have probably seen going around, so here it goes:

 1) Each person must list eleven things about themselves:

1. I'm Emma (if you didn't already know :))
2. I just ran a cross country meet today, it was cold. :)
3. I am the youngest child in my family. :)
4. I have to run the mile in gym on Monday. Hoping for a personal best! :)
5. I am tired. :)
6. I don't really consider myself creative, I can't think of things off the top of my head. :)
7. I'm not that great at basketball, but I play on the school team anyway. :)
8. I like running long distances, not short. :)
9. I am taking my first year of Spanish! :)
10. I can be really random. :)
11. I like typing smiley faces :D

 2) Answer the eleven questions the tagger has sent you plus you must create eleven questions of your own for the eight to eleven people you will tag. Okay, well here are Dakota's questions: 

      1. What's your favorite AG doll? Hmm...I'd have to say I've always wanted Josephina, so she's my favorite..

      2. What do you like to do on the weekends? Sleep in on Saturdays and go to my church's youth group on Sunday and see my friends!

      3. What's your favorite season? Fall! I love the weather!

      4. What's your favorite month? Huh, never really thought about this. Umm, November, maybe?

      5. What's your favorite holiday? Christmas!

      6. What's your favorite time of day? Lunch time!

      7. What's your favorite type of weather? (Rain, Sunshine, ect.) Sunshine with a slight breeze in the lower 70's. Perfect weather!

      8. Hot weather or cold? Cold, you can snuggle into a blanket with a good book!

      9. What's your favorite subject in school? Math!

     10. What's your favorite book? Well one of my favorite series is The Mother Daughter Book Club- I really recommend this series to anyone looking for some good books, and The Real Life books by Nancy Rue.

     11. What's your favorite movie? I really don't have a favorite!

My eleven questions:

1. What is your goal in life?
2. How many siblings do you have?
3. How many blogs do you have?
4. Why do you blog?
5. Do you go to a public school, private school, or homeschool?
6. Would you rather eat solid chocolate or ice cream?
7. Who do you look up to in life?
8. Which is your favorite, breakfast, lunch, or supper/dinner?
9. Do you like cooking/baking?
10. What time during the week do you get up in the morning?
11. Do you know why everything's eleven in this tag, I mean why not ten or twelve?

Now I know it says tag 8-11 people, but because so many people have already been tagged, if you haven't been tagged.. I tag YOU!

-Emma :D

Pictures!

       Here are some pictures I took a couple days ago...

 Me!

 Hannah wanted me to take pictures of her backpack, we were thinking about putting this picture on the header, but the size wasn't right

Hannah's shadow and my head shadow. :)

-Emma :D

Blog Design!

     Hopefully you noticed the new design, and I would love to hear your opinion on it on the poll -->. And yes I am sorry for two things, first the "sneak peek" of the blog design was at first going to be the background, but when I tried that, it did not work out. But, here is what I was planning on doing:

  This was going to be the background...

And this was going to be the header...

     But it turned out looking to busy, so on the header, I made it how it is now, but the background was still not working for me, so yeah.

     And secondly, this post doesn't have the pictures that I told you about in the last post, you'll hopefully be able to see those on Tuesday. 

-Emma :D

Awards, Welcoming, and Blog Design!

I was awarded for the Your AG Blog is Great again by Katie, so you can see my post below about it.

Thanks so much for the award Katie!

Then, I would like to welcome the 26th and 27th followers of this blog, Delaney and Raine Sunshine! Thanks so much for following!

Next, I have made a blog design but, I don't know how to use my own picture for the background, could anyone help me with this? Here's a little sneak peak of what it will look like:

Yeah, it's not much, but you'll hopefully see the rest soon!

Lastly, I have decided to have The Doll Guess every other week and I'll make it harder, so then more people will guess and more hints will be given, sound good? Thanks for your response on the poll!

I'm sooo sorry that I haven't been posting lately, but I'll try to post at least once every three days or every other day! I know this was a lot to take in, but I'll have a photo shoot in my next post. :D
-Emma :D

Also, I bet you all have heard, and I don't have much to say, but.... Welcome Caroline Abbott! Caroline was officially released yesterday, check out her whole collection Here!

-Emma :D

Happy Labor Day!

     Many times I let this day go by without thinking about it's meaning. I take it as a day to sleep in, except for this year :D, a day not to go to school, and a day to relax. But we should really be focusing on how much hard work is put in each and every other day of the year.

   Without work there would be no food, education,^^no clean windows :) ^^ or practically anything else in this world. (You know, computers, cell phones, everything electronic that kids these days spend their life's on.) So next time you go someplace with other people, take some time to just look around at the people of the world, working and getting things done.
A special announcement/shout out...

Welcome Delaney! I'm so happy that you decided to follow this blog!

     Also, here is the hint for The 23rd Doll Guess:

1. The doll is a historical doll

Nobody has guessed at all yet, so guess away!

-Emma :)

PS. The picture above is not mine, obviously :), if you click on it, it will lead you back to where I found it.

Happy September!!! (Closed)

     First, a shout out to my dad (and cat)...

 Happy Birthday!!!

     As you can see from the title, I wrote Happy September, because I am happy! Today I got my PR (Personal Record) at my first cross country meet of the season! I am also happy because I didn't have to run in the rain. (Older kids did! :) ) Speaking of rain.. is anyone else being affected by Hurricane Isaac? Also, here is The 23rd Doll Guess!

CLOSED

Please guess the doll and the outfit, you may only guess once until the hint on Monday. Thanks!
