Christmas, New Year, Birthday and Birthday Party!

2010-01-14T19:37:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone!!

I hope you had a great Christmas and have a wonderful 2010!!

We made these on New Years Eve while thinking about the year that has passed and the year to come

On January 2 I turned 12!!

In celebration of my birthday we went to Wintergreen Ski Resort where my dad and I went snow tubing. It was very fun but cold and unfortunately my mom had to stay inside with Tristan. She didn't mind all that much because she got to take some pictures, such as these.

Whose reflection do you see in the window?

That's me coming inside after two hours of tubing!

The next day I had a birthday party with my friend who shares the same birthdate!

So far it has been a great New Year! How has yours been?

Coming SOOOOOOOOOON!!

Camping trip!

2009-08-24T18:19:00.000-07:00

Hey, everybody!!

I have just returned from a great camping trip at loft mountain (Shenandoah national park ) with my Mom, Dad, Tristan, (his first camping trip!!) my best friend Rachel, and her parents.

We had rain on the fist and second days, but on our last day (sunday) we finally got sunny skies.

We were able to come very close to some deer, who were very friendly.

Rachel and I named them Skydancer, Lightfoot, and Sunchaser. Here is Lightfoot (I think!)

We also saw some very cool views!!

Tristan was very impressed with it all. ( even when we had to shelter from the rain in a camper!)

Rachel and I made some Faerie houses/stores, too.

All in all, it was a pretty awesome weekend!! (Mom is not in the picture because she was taking it!)

How was yours??

See you later!!

2. i like to wear socks with my sandals.

3. i like to sing in an opera voice.

4. i like a meal the first few times i have it but after a few more of that meal i realize i don't like it.

5. even though i'm fine with hikes and showers i gripe a lot when i'm told it's time for one

6. at night i'm afraid to walk past my Dad's workroom when the light is off

silly movie

2008-03-30T17:28:00.000-07:00

Ok, this is a movie I made in our vacation flat in Larnaca, Cyprus.

I thought it was funny that in the song coming out of my Mom's computer, just after Devendra Banhart (one of my Mom's favorites) said, "one thousand mending moans," Yiayia did a very funny, pronounced, yawn!

A Brief Explanation of Cyprus

2008-03-04T06:58:00.000-08:00

my good friend shanti

We are now in Cyprus. We are in Nicosia, although we spent a week in the Larnaca area. We visited the Turkish side a few times. And then we came here to Nicosia, where we are mostly visiting family. Some of my favorite things about this trip are: Cats (lots and lots of them), beaches, collecting shells, kleftiko, grilled octopus, fresh calamari and the high, windy Kantara Castle, pictured below.

Tomorrow is our last day here. We leave early Thursday morning and spend one night in Amersterdam! And then on Friday I see my Dad and my cats, Luna and Loki! I've missed them all a lot.

this is me amongst the ruins of the ancient city of salamis

See you soon!

Leaving the Fort for Cyprus!

2008-02-17T07:37:00.000-08:00

I built this fort with my friends Jesse and Ibante. Now it is winter break, and I'm leaving for Cyprus on the 20th!!!!

This is a photo of my Mom, Yia yia and me when we went to Cyprus 2 years ago.

Christmas, Birthday, Birthday Party!

2008-01-21T08:39:00.000-08:00

Ok, big catch up, I had a great Christmas! I hope you did to! These are some pictures of some of my favorite things that I got.

The first is a cute (I mean REALLY), baby doll that I wanted, I named him Leo.

The 2nd is a sewing box (my very talented Mom made the lid for it).

3rd is the stuffed penguin that Leo is holding.

Jan 2nd was my 10th birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we went snow tubing, it was so much fun!!!!

Here is my silly Dad on the tube tow.

Here is my Mom, about to push off.

And this is me about to get dumped down the exit ramp of the tube tow!

After tubing I got my ears pierced. My mom had been promising me that I can get my ears pierced once I turn 10!!!

Here is the cake!

It is an ice cream cake with Cherry Garcia and chocolate ice cream inside.

Party Time!
This is a picture of everyone after having a dress up relay race.

I had a great holiday vacation. How about you?

Busy Week

2007-11-27T17:15:00.001-08:00

On Saturday this week we have the Christmas Bazaar at my school. Nia and I are going to play Good King Wenceslas. I am very excited about it. Nia plays cello and I play violin. That is us practicing in the picture above. I decided to put the picture below up because my cat Luna is in the background with glowing eyes.

Though it is past Thanksgiving that I am writing this, I wanted to wish you all a Happy Holiday!

For Thanksgiving I went over to my friend Rachel's house with my parents. It was lots of fun. After having our Thanksgiving meal, we all took a walk, and two of Rachel's cats followed us. Rachel and I played a fun game where our dads chased us and tried to tag us. It was quite a lot of fun.

Kimchee

2007-11-09T14:38:00.000-08:00

Let me eat kimchee,
I said upon my mother's knee,
and she said to mee,

Halloween

2007-11-01T10:14:00.000-07:00

My mom and I were carving our pumpkins. This is a picture of a sprout my mom found growing inside her pumpkin.

This is my costume. My mom made it. The headdress is from the Amazon. But I am Pocahontas from the Powhatan tribe.

This is me sorting my candy after I went trick or treating. I got a lot of M&M's and lollipops. My favorite candy is the Tootsy Roll.

This is Loki. He was having fun with a lollipop.

These are the lit up pumpkins.

My pumpkin has the letter I for a nose because I have a friend named Iliana who was killed in a car crash. This pumpkin was made in memory of her.

oh don piano

2007-10-10T13:25:00.000-07:00

this is a very silly little movie of some cats saying funny things. i have been doubled over in laughter and maybe you will be too. i thought it would be very fun to post on my blog. i hope you'll enjoy it.

Pirate Number Six

2007-09-14T17:42:00.000-07:00

This is a picture my mom took of me at my second baseball game. Most unfortunately we lost 4 to 20. Even though we lost it was still a lot of fun because I got to do a lot of right fielding and some batting (although one of the boys was a bit too tall and he pitched too fast for me). Despite the fact that I'm the only girl on the team, and I'm not quite as experienced as some of the boys, the boys are still very nice and it's a good team to be a part of. Our team name is the Piedmont Pirates and tomorrow I have to be at practice at 8AM!

By the way, I was given the Nice Matters Award by Molly.

Meet Jonny Jonson

2007-08-17T12:23:00.000-07:00

We rescued him from the salvation army today. After our service fee of 50 cents, he was ours to bring home. He has provided much entertainment throughout the day. He is a newscaster but he is also a rock star.

Jonny Jonson looks a little like a cow, but he's a dog. He does like to say, "Let's hear it for the cows!!!"

We've decided that Jonny Jonson is pretty silly indeed.

The t-shirt no one else in the world has

2007-07-20T13:34:00.000-07:00

In my summer arts camp i made a block print t-shirt as one of the crafts. The design was made by taking a block and cutting dolphin shapes into it. Then i inked it up with ink and i made a pattern on my shirt.

On the back it says summer arts 2007 as a memory of the camp.

It's a t-shirt no one else in the world has. That is why it is so special.

You guys should go to Summer Arts Camp at the UVA Art Museum because it's AWESOME!

Poem I Wrote in First Grade II

2007-06-21T18:09:00.000-07:00

A dolphin swam in the sea
Cool water swished along
And sang its bubbling
Rippling little song

Poem I Wrote in First Grade I

2007-06-21T18:00:00.000-07:00

The ants went marching
Through the hills
The butterflies did fly
The bees hummed between the flowers
And collected nectar for their hives

Lovey Dove

2007-06-11T19:59:00.000-07:00

Horses Dancing

2007-06-06T17:22:00.000-07:00

Horses, horses
big and coarse.
Stamping
prancing
dancing.
They have
their own
small rhythm
and I love to go dance with 'em.

Cat Fight Cat Bite!

2007-06-05T19:02:00.000-07:00

Our cat Loki got into a fight with another cat in our neighborhood.He got bitten by the cat and we had to take him to the vet. He's ok but he looks like he got drilled in the side.

My New Blog

2007-06-05T18:40:00.000-07:00

Through this blog I plan to share poems, stories, thoughts and pictures.

Since my mom has a blog I was inspired to do one too. I chose the name Adriel Dolphin because my middle name is Adriel and the dolphin is my favorite animal.

I hope you like this blog.
