MOM'S DAY OUT!

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so sorry I haven't blogged in a while. I was so busy with school, that whenever I got a chance to blog, the internet wasn't working. Today I pick to tell you about our mom's day out. It is a time when all us AZ kids go to aunty Karen's house, out in Makeni. While we are there, all of our moms go and have a good time together. They might go to get a manicure, or go shopping. This happens once a month, the last Wednesday is the month. We all carpool out to Makeni, and are relieved when we get there. There are nine people sitting in a car that can only hold seven. It is also a long drive. When we get there, we will go play. This first picture is a picture of all of the kids sitting in the tree. Then, when the moms are gone, we decided to go on a walk. We stopped by miss dil's house to feed the fish. The second picture is one of all of us standing by the tank. Before this became a fish tank, it was a swimming pool. When we where taking the picture, Caleb(the one with blond hair and the red hat) was walking and and didn't see the hole witch normally the people get all the dirt out of the pool with, and stepped in it!! Oh, great!! We don't need some onre smelling like fish!! And for added measure, he did it again!! WOW!!!!! Ten we went to the local playground. The third picture is a picture of me, Caleb, Ireen, and Macie walking across soem tires that were cemented into the ground. Aunt Karen wanted to take a picture of all of us on the slide, all staked up. Being the oldest, I had to be on the bottom. I was doing pretty good until Julia and Payton added on. This was to much!! I collapsed, with all of the eleven kids on top of me!! Yeesh!!! Then we went back to the house and watched a movie. it was the movie UP. Thank you Aunty Karen for the WONDERFUL day!!! BYE!!!

Uh, what is that on my plate?

Hi guys! Now, if you look at the subject, it almost explains it all.
Here in Zambia, the staple food in Nshima(it is YUMMY!). It is a filling,
easy to make and cheap food. Now, in America, our staple food is
hamburgers, hotdogs, and pizza. Now Nshima (the N is silent, so it is
pronounced shima) is quite different. It is made of the same thing grits
are made of, except it isn't so runny(and it usually isn't eaten for
breakfast). Now, Nshima is not eaten plain. You eat it with relish, which
can be almost anything. Fried caterpillars, (I have tried them and they
taste like French fries! Except the ones that aren't cooked very well. They
are still gooey on the insides! Chicken feet(which are eaten with the bones
and toenails!!! And, they aren't very yummy!) Cow intestines(they look like
honey comb and they and they are VERY chewy.) And, I was even brave enough
to try Field Rat!!!(it tasted like steak!!) Oh, and one more. Kapenta,
which are little tiny fish that are eaten with the eye balls and guts and
bones!! (these ones taste like soggy French fries!) Now, all of these I
have eaten, and I say these things by personal experience. Now there is
lots more. Beans, cabbage, meatballs, scrambled eggs, soya,(That is the
stuff that is on the plate in the picture, it looks like little pieces of
meat. It tastes like chicken. We have it a lot. The other thing on the
plate is the Nshima.) You name it!!
Well, I hope I didn't gross you out!
Ta-ta!

4 pictures for you

HELLO! I am so sorry I have not wrote in a long time!! Whenever I want to,
the internet isn't working, the power is out, or Dad or Mom is on the
computer. One of my New Year's resolutions is blogging 3 times a week or
more!
If you are wondering what these pictures are of, I will tell you.
So, Sunday morning, at about 8:45, we heard some knocking at our gate.
Bradyn went out to answer it, and there were 5 kids asking to pick some
fruit/berries, called Msukai, from our tree. After asking dad, he came to
the gate and let them in. Mom was a bit nervous that we let them climb it,
cuz it was a 40 foot high tree! One time, I looked up, and about 40 feet
above me, there was this teenager sitting on a branch about as big as you
ankle! When I saw that, closed my eyes and prayed a silent prayer!!
Thankfully, all they left with was barrels of berries!!! Thank God for
that!!!! All of us felt good about blessing those people! Unfortunately,
they didn't know English very well, so it was hard to communicate.
Today we started school again, after a whole month off. I think I
like Having August, April, And December off instead of having June, July and
August off. Then You don't forget things!
Well, I hope you liked my update!
Alive in Africa,

Part three (3)

When we looked out the window, this spotted giraffe poked his head up to the window. The giraffe looked surprised and licked the window! Kaitlyn and I grabbed on to each other to keep from falling down we were laughing So hard! My friend Sydney got out her camera and took a picture. When we all looked at the picture, we started laughing all over again. Then Danielle said " Sydney, I think you are going to win an award with that picture!" All of a sudden, Chloe said "Guys, if we saw the giraffe, then we are probable close to the ground!"
Sure enough, the sergeant of the ship said " We are landing in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, LANDING! As we landed with a BUMP, I whispered to Kelly " I am pretty sure this is going to be fun!" As me and Rachel stepped out of the rocket, we saw......................

Part two (2)

We took off! We were going SO fast! My friend Blake(my very good friend when I was a little girl) was so exited to be in a rocket ship, had forgotten to buckle his seat belt and when the rocket started, flew backwards and bammed into the wall. I looked out the window to see my cousins Annabelle and Molly Bea waving good-bye. I waved back and watch as they grew smaller and smaller.
When I looked up, I saw my Math teacher(who's name is Owen) purchasing tickets for for safari on his MAC computer and Bumpa and Boggie( my grandparents on my moms side) feeding Freddy the crow some peanut butter sandwiches. Then I hear Papa(my grandpa) ask,"Is there any golf in Zambia?'' " The sergeant of the ship said" There is a golf course right by the Safari lodge." Then I whispered to my friend Sophia," I am so exited I am going to shoot right out the window!" After giggling for about one minute, I grabbed my companions hand (who's name was Kara, my really good friend back in America) and said,"Kara, look out the window!

My creative writing story(using my spelling words)

One day,when i was going to college, my bachelor teacher said "We are going to go on a field trip today to count the musicians in Zambia,Africa." All of us were SO excited! Then this pretty girl named Ashley asked "When we are there, could we go on a safari?" Our teacher felt pressured, so he said "Sure."
"O.K. people" said our teacher "I am giving you 30 minutes to get your supplies. Then meet me at the basketball court to board our rocket ship."(They had to do the field trip all in one day, so they had to take a rocket ship) So my classmates and I ran to our lockers feeling excited. But I did not know what I was about to experience.
When the rocket arrived, we found our field trip buddies and boarded the rocket. The sergeant of the rocket said " 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Launch!" The engine fired up and
