Johanna Speaks

Coyote Peterson is at Bell Creek. He is trying to find a rainbow trout. Coyote Peterson said normally people would be fly fishing to catch the rainbow trout but he is going to make his own net that is made of, a long stick, rope, and his shirt. He also said that Mark and Mario don't believe that he is going to catch the rainbow trout, But Coyote Peterson does think that he is going to catch the fish. 

Coyote Peterson sees a whole pocket of trout fish, but the fish are in deep water so Coyote Peterson said he is going to move upstream and find a narrow pocket of water where he can go knee-deep and try to catch a rainbow trout. Coyote Peterson found a really big pond! He said it's actually a really great chance for him to catch one because the fish are not in deep water. The fish do not like the light because there could be predators so they go under big rocks. Mark got a stick and started poking under the rocks a little to get the fish to come out and then Coyote Peterson can try and catch the fish. On their tenth try, they finally got the rainbow trout!

Coyote Peterson said if the rainbow trout is out of water for a little bit it will get stressed out! He also said to identify the rainbow trout is to see if the fish has a green line and a pretty pinkish stripe. if it does then that means it's a rainbow trout!

The rainbow trout eats little fish, crustaceans, other fish eggs. A group of trout is called a hover. The reason why it's called a hover is that when they swim they go back and forth very slowly keeping their balance, the water is just flowing, and then in a burst of speed, they go in the darker and deeper water of pockets. 

Coyote Peterson said it took them three hours to catch the rainbow trout!

My sister Noelle got a horse!

The horse that Noelle got is all brown with black on its legs. It looks really pretty! She is getting the horse this Saturday. 

Here is a picture of the horse that Noelle got:

Horses can run up to about 55 mph. The horse that Noelle is getting is not trained at all. She is really excited to train it. She said it's a bare mare. She also said she needs a name for the horse. I was thinking of Joelle or something because her name is Noelle and my name is Johanna so she could name it Joelle. She texted me and said she was thinking of that too!

My friends said she should name it Riley or Sterling. I think Sterling is a great name for it! This Saturday Noelle wanted me to go with her and see the horse and then see the fireworks! But she said if the horse is starting to act up in the trailer then she can't take me. So I am really hoping I get to go with her and see the horse!

A young male horse is called a colt. A young female horse is called fillies.

I wish I could have a painted horse! Painted horses are my favorite! When I say painted horses I don't mean like literally people painting horses I just mean the type of breed they are.

Here is a picture of a painted horse:

There are some new kids that moved to our street! There are only three girls. they have seven kids but the other siblings already moved out. One of the girl's ages are 9 and there are twins. The twins are both 11 years old. They moved in almost a month ago. and they are really nice! The names of the girls are, Annabelle, Abigail and Rosie. Annabelle and Abigail are twins.

They have baby squirrels! They said the baby squirrels are not even a month old. I went to their house that is up the street from us. So they are very close to us. When I got to their house I got to hold the squirrels. They were really cute! The reason why they have the squirrels is that their dad found them. And the baby squirrels think that their mom died so they took them, and took very good care of them.

The names of the two baby squirrels are, raisin and pickle. Pickle is a boy I think and raisin is a girl.

The baby squirrels have five toes on the back and in the front, they have four toes. Squirrels eat when their bigger, fruits, nuts,veggies, seeds, incects, eggs and plants.  The baby squirrels that they have loves grapes. We are really glade they love grapes because the grapes give them hydration so my friends don’t have to really give them a drink of milk. 

I really wish I had baby squirrels.

Here are some pictures and videos of the baby squirrels:

Two weeks ago was Noelle's wedding! It was so much fun! 

On the wedding day, we had to get to Gover Ranch at 8:00 in the morning. Gover Ranch is where Noelle was going to get married. We were the first ones to get there and then the other bridesmaids came. After all of the bridesmaids came we went to the bridle sweep. The bridle sweep was super nice! It had AC so it was perfect. It was so hot outside. It was like almost a hundred! When Noelle got there she went to go check out the bridle sweep, so I went with her to show her where it is. She also liked it too. 

The groomsmen had to stay in a trailer. I went to see what the trailer in the inside looked like. And when I did I knew there would be no space for seven groomsmen! But somehow there was. And there was no AC in there!

My brother Caleb had to deliver something to the bridle sweep. When he came in. He said it felt so nice in there. And he wanted to stay longer but he couldn't. He said do you guys need anything else? The reason why he said that is so he could stay in there longer. But we said we did not need any more stuff. So he just left. 

The bridle sweep had lots of mirrors. Like on one wall there were 8 of them.It was perfect because we could do our make up at the end of the day for the wedding and everyone had a mirror. 

After breakfast we went to the bridle sweep to get our hair curly. Noëlle’s friend did everyone’s hair. I forgot her name but I think it was Rebecca or something. When she was curling our hair she puts these clips so it would stay curly so when we take them out for the wedding. We stayed in the bridle sweep for a while. When it was lunch time my mom brought us food. And after lunch we had to rehearse. We all looked like old grammas going down the  aisle because of our hair. Everybody said I looked like a Shirley temple because of my hair for some reason. I did not know what a Shirley temple is.

When the wedding was about to start I was really excited! When the wedding started we went down the aisle. We had to go fast a little bit but when we go down the aisle we had to slow down a bit. After the wedding was done we did lots of pictures and my feet hurt like crazy! And when we were finally done we went to go and paint Camron’s car. And then we got to eat. I was really thirsty for some reason.So I got lots of ice tea. I was not really that hungry for some reason and so was Camron’s sister Natalie. 

We roasted some marshmallows. We danced and then ate desert. And then did some toasts to Cameron and Noelle. And then we did the Bouquet toss. Guess what I caught the bouquet!!! I was so happy!! When the wedding was over Cameron and Noelle rode in Camron’s  car. And we said go bye!

Here are some pics and videos: 

I got a keyboard piano from my aunt for free! I am really happy and grateful. I wrote some notes on the keyboard piano on the white keys with a dry-erase marker. That is so I could learn to remember the name of the notes so that I can get really good at it.

I tried two apps for the keyboard piano, but it didn't really work. If you want to learn the actual songs, it will cost you money on the app. 

So I went on YouTube, and I found some easy songs for me to play, and now I play every day. On YouTube, it’s a game that someone recorded and then put it on YouTube for someone to follow it. The reason why it's easy for me to follow is that there are these notes like A B or C that float down and it tells you which one to press.  They are slow enough for me to play. I can change the speed of the play using the settings of YouTube.

Here is one of the songs that I practice a lot on my keyboard piano:

I wake up in the morning very early because after we eat in the morning, we have to go straight to doing our school work. At 10:30, we get a break from schoolwork. The break is a half-hour long, and we get a snack, so I get straight on the piano keyboard during the break.

My brother Gideon and Simeon want to get a keyboard piano too. Simeon wants his piano keyboard because he uses it for his digital recordings, and when he gets better and better at it, he might use it for a story, or maybe a podcast. 

My brother Gideon wants to get good at the piano like me. So he's been practicing with me, and we take turns.  It is really fun! I love practicing with Gideon, staring at him, and trying to make him mess up in a fun way.
