Johanna Speaks

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.

I am all done with the choir. The next semester is going to be in fall. Mrs.Doomer is going to be splitting us up. Like there is going to be three choirs instead of two now. The first choir is going to be for very little kids like 5 to 8 or something. And the second choir is I think going to be like 10 to 12 I think. And the third choir is going to be like I think 14 to 19. so yeah it's going to be a lot more kids next semester. I love choir a lot. I wish it didn't end yet. Joanna might be at the choir again next semester I don't know yet. I really hope she does though. 

Mrs.Doomer did a party for the choir. It was at a skating rank called " Viking Skate Country ". It's in redding. And it's only 25 min away from my house. It is really fun! I rode in my friend's car because my mom and dad were gone to Chester. My friend had a softball game at 3:30 so we had to leave at 3:00 to get to her game in time. Mrs.Doomer has ice cream for everyone there but we had to go to the game so we could not stay for the ice cream. We told Mrs.Domer we had to go and she ok and she gave us a little candy and said goodbye. We got to stay there for and hour and a half. But it felt to me only five min. 

I was not use to roller skating. I am way better at roller blading witch is a little harder than roller skating. After awhile I got the hang of it and I had lots of fun. Joanna was not there at all. I really wish she was. 

My bridesmaid dress came in! 

I actually ordered two bridesmaid dresses because my mom said the sizes were very difficult because if it's not the right size then I can't be a bridesmaid for Noelle's wedding. You would think I have a lot of time to buy the dress because the wedding is not until a long time. Well, the shipping took one month. And if I got the wrong size I can't order it or else it will take another month. We never expected that it would take a long time for it to come in that late.

When it finally came in I immediately got dressed in it. One was too big for me and the other fit just right. I was so happy! The back of the dress that fitted me was really pretty! The front was just right like it was not too low or too high it was just right. 

 A couple of days later my sister Noelle came and I put my bridesmaid dress on to show her. She said it looks really pretty! And that I can wear it to her wedding. She also said for the wedding I can have my hair like hers! And she said or I can look on Pinterest or something and see what hairstyle I want. Her friend is going to be doing all the bridesmaids' hair. It's a lot of hair to do. I forgot her name though.

Here is a video of my bridesmaid dress:

Last Tuesday I had my Choir performance! 

My brothers came and my sisters came too. We had the whole family except my brother Caleb did not come because he was in Sacermento.

 We actually had two performances. One was at I think 3:30 in the evening. The other one was at 6:30. When we had the first performance there were not that many people.  But the next performance that we had was lots of people all of the seats were basically filled with people and it's a huge church! My friend Abby could not make it to the performance because they were going to have company over at there house.My friend Sophie was there because she was in the choir with me. She had a little solo part in The Lost is Found song. 

Here is me singing my solo:

After the performance we all went to Panda Express! I rode with Camron and Noelle to Panda Express but we went accidentally to he wrong one so we called them and said where are you guys and we have been waiting for you and then they said we have been waiting for you so then we knew we were at the wrong Panda Express so we went to the right one and then we found them.

We came back home and it was almost 10:30! 

I had so much fun!

Yesterday Noelle had a Bridal Shower! 

My friend Sophie and my other friend Abby came to the Bridal Shower too. And Abby's mom and Sophie's mom and my mom.

The Bridal Shower was at Camron's Grammas. It starts at 3:30 so we left at 3:00. We were a little late but it did not start yet so that was good. Everybody was just talking for a while. There was a trampoline there and a treehouse and swings and some baby kittens too. They were really cute! There were five of them. Three were all orange and one black and one white. 

My friends and I all went on the trampoline together. There was another girl our age too. I forgot her name. But I do know that it started with a K. We played with her until the Bridal Shower started. 

There was a really nice table with some seats so we all sat there when the Bridal Shower started. Some people were bringing food out to everybody that was there. Camron's sisters brought out some games for everybody to play. The game was that people had to write down on a piece of paper that the people bring to you and it says what is Noelle's middle name and what eye color she has and stuff like that and the person who got most of the things right than they get a prize! I didn't get any prizes though. All of my friends helped each other and I also helped them too. It was really fun! After we played the game some people brought out some dessert for everybody. 

When we were done eating our dessert Noelle started to open some of the presents. Noelle got a lot of presents! My friends and I put all of the presents in Noelle's car. We stuffed a lot but it did work out thankfully. And nothing broke. I love going to Bridal Showers!

Here are some pictures and videos that I took:
