Johanna Speaks

So we actually still have a treehouse from a long time ago which our grandpa built for us kids to go on but now the wood is rotten and breaks super easy if had weight on it. And now Ezra is building a new one for us!! He only has like the bottom almost done. And I think he's building another lower platform underneath the actual treehouse so Sophie and her friends can sit on it. I mean that's what it looks like and I think I over heard him telling mom and dad that's what he is going to do. 

Anyways, he's almost done with the lower platform. He will probably be done with the whole treehouse in like two weeks or so. Probably sooner. 

When he's all done somebody's going to have to go up there and test it out! Which is going to be very scary!!😐 I kind of want to test it out but I'm just so scared it's going to fall down. But hopefully he will put every wood piece and nail in correctly. I'm not even sure if he is following something to build the tree house which I hope he is because.........😑

But I know when it's finished it's going to be great! Here's a pic of what he's done so far:

He made everything from scratch! And even made the ladder by himself!

I had such a fun weekend!! 

So my friends the Garza girls got to come to our house on Saturday at 12:00. But one of the girls wasn't there and that was Abbigail. I asked where she was and they said she wasn't feeling well. :( So it was just Annie and Rosie who came. But we had a great time! 

Here's what we did on Saturday and Sunday together:

So when they first came we practiced line dancing together. They even taught me a new line dance! It was a lot of fun! I keep messing up, but after awhile I finally got it! :) I really wished Abbigail was there because it would just be even more fun with her! 

So after we line danced a bit, we ate lunch which was chicken tacos!! And had soda waters, ( yes that's what they are called ) and after we drank and ate, my mom said that she can drop us off at the little store and then we can walk back. Obviously we went to get candy then walked home from there. :) And Sophie was there too ( my sister not my friend ) and she handled the walk easily. It wasn't hard at all to walk that far. 

So after we got back we started to get ready for that night because there was going to be a band night at the lake club!! So we started to curl our hair. Then after that we got dressed in dresses and then ate and practiced more line dancing until it was time to go. 

So we headed down and Sophie's friends Ellie and Kayden was there. And my friend Abby too! I already knew she was coming.

So first we practiced more line dancing outside the building and then went inside the lake club and danced! We danced all the line dances we knew! And everybody kept saying that we were really good! And even some lady's tried to follow us in the line dancing. And some even taught us one while we were dancing!! So we danced with them. I have done the dance they did but I forgot how it went. But the dance was super easy to remember and do. We had an amazing time together!

Here are some vids of our dancing!

After about two hours of dancing it was like 9:28 PM so we headed back home and the girls stayed the night at our house. We watched clean memes and I got us some blankets and pillows and then fell asleep around 11 in our living room. 

The next morning I got up at 6:30 AM and it was Sunday so I got ready for church and then the girls helped me with the sandwich's that we had to make for a tea party after church. We made them and then the girls got ready for church. We ate breakfast and headed to church around 8:30 because I have to go early to practice music. Rosie and Annie wanted to go so they went with me. And Ezra drove us to church with dad. 

After practicing music we had bible study and then after that had church. Mr. and Mrs. Orr wasn't there and those are the people who do piano and guitar. And who are pros! So it was just Nicholas and Abbigail ( who is a violinist but also can play piano ) and I who played for church. I had solos and I messed up on a lot but it was ok. 

After that Annie and Rosie got to meet the people at the church and then we had a tea party there. The tea party was just for girls and no boys where aloud. 

After we prayed and sat down at the table we started eating. It was super awkward because nobody was talking and kept looking at each other. But we kept breaking the silence with laughs or giggles and then it would go silent again. After awhile we started talking. But we barely talked. We just laughed more then talked. And the girl who played piano named Abbigail said," Boys ask," what do girls do at tea party's?" Me," they giggle and laugh". It was so true what she said. :) 

Well after everybody ate we went outside and played Ninja and played one game of that and then sat in the pews and talked. It was mostly Rosie and Annie who talked. I didn't talk like at all because I was pretty tired plus I love to listen to people talk than rather myself talking. After that we went for a walk around the church. Then went back inside the church and sat on the pews and talked more. Then my dad came and picked us up and we drove the Garza girls back to their house.

That's all what happened!! I had a great time and I wish we could do it over again but with Abbigail next time! :)

I took a Spanish exam today at 9:05 AM!!

So basically this exam will be scoring you on how well you can speak in Spanish and how well you can listen to really fast conversation and say what they were talking about. 

So first it started with the listening. That was really hard because they talked so fast!! It's a recording of a news podcast or something like that and there are like five different options to choose from about what they are talking about. And I'm serious on how fast they talk. My mom over heard it too and she said it was super fast! And she's like a pro at Spanish. I could understand about 36% to 100% on what they were talking about. 

So there are two teachers who will be scoring me. One on the speaking and the other on the listening part. 

Here’s a fun testing part that anybody can do:

I won't get the scores like right away from the two teachers because that would just be too soon. But I felt like a did pretty bad because now I realized I didn't use that many complexed words that I already know and should have used. But hopefully I can get at least intermediate low. Which is already a good score.  

I had fun explaining the situations though.😊 

I have been doing my Spanish classes again but it's all adults! 

So at first I just went on but didn't have my camera on because I knew so little of the Spanish words but after I listened to one I knew a lot more and knew how their story went. So then the next time I had my camera on and I hade to actually had to speak which was scary! And there's like thirty adults in there soooo yeah. 

So far I have been doing the Spanish classes for about two weeks or so. It's still pretty scary getting called on but after awhile it's ok. I still have to do my big test! My parents and I have been just forgetting about it! So I really need to do it! But in the meantime I have been just learning more Spanish words as I am going through the class. 

And we just started a new Spanish story! It's pretty hard because we are saying like she knows how to do this in Spanish. I have to really slow down my words when I speak so I can focus on what I am saying more. Which is actually totally fine and it does help me too. 

Thanks for reading my blog post! Bye! 

So last Sunday we woke up in the morning and left around 10:00 AM to Roseville. We left that late because Simeon's church starts at 1.00 PM and it takes about three hours to get there. So we left and we got there on time. 

Ezra drove in his new car with Cameron and Noelle. And there and back only was $15 dollars for gas because his car takes so little gas and can go on for a long time! It was amazing! 

So after church it was like 3:00 PM in the afternoon and everybody else was there and we had tacos and had cake that I made. We didn't watch the Superbowl because everybody wasn't actually a Superbowl fan. But I was getting all the details of the scores from my friend Abby. I was voting for the 49ers but in the very beginning I told Abby I know that the Chiefs are going to win and I was right! Even though the 49ers were very far ahead when I said that.

Here's a pic of the cake I made Simeon for his birthday:

So after everybody ate and had cake Simeon opened his presents. He got a lot of taco things! And then most of everybody left. Nicholas and my brother Jonathan played chess until 10. Then Jonathan left and we headed to bed. 

Sophie, Nicholas, mom, dad and I were the only ones who spent the night at Caleb's house on Sunday night. And in the morning we went to a coffee shop that Simeon always goes too and worked there for a bit and then headed back home. After two hours we were in Chico and decided to head to Taco Shop because it was already lunch time. We ate and then left and headed all the way back home.  

Here are some videos I took!
