Johanna Speaks

So recently Sophie and I have been going across the street to a lady's house who has a dog that is fourteen years old! And in dog years that's about 98 years old!!!😐 And it's a big dog too! She thinks its part German Shepherd and mixed with something else. And the dog's name is Champ. 

So we know the lady because of our cousins and aunt. So awhile ago ( when we still lived in the other house ) our cousins and aunt visited us and they knew a lady who lived near by our street ( which is now the street we live on ) and so we all visited her and went on walks with her and the dog Champ and got to know her more. And recently our cousins visited us like last week and haven't seen her in so long so we all went over there and said hi and my mom started talking to her about how I really want a dog and also want to walk them and stuff like that and the lady said Sophie and I are welcome to come over and see her dog Champ. And plus I might even be babysitting the dog one of these days. Depends how long Champ will live since he's pretty old. 

So that's the back story on how we know the lady. And now that we have been seeing her a lot, we have been getting to know her really well. And now Sophie and I usually go over there everyday around 5:00 PM and hang out with her dog and chat a bit too. 

My mom just wants to make sure before we get a dog or anything, just that I am around them a lot and have more knowledge about puppies or dogs and raising them and trying to train them too. And right know I have been reading a book called, " The Art Of Raising A Puppy". And I have also been watching a lot of Cesar Milan videos too. 

I just hope some day I will be able to get a dog!😌

So I have watched all of Cesar Millan's videos and have been aching to get a dog!! There are just some problems with me getting a puppy right now. 

My mom wants to make sure it's not going to be an inside dog and sleep in my bed or anything because then we would have so much hair in our house which is bad because we have a lotion business and the last thing we want is to have hair in the lotion. 😐 And she knows we are not going to keep that promise. But I said that we can like put a sign up or something that says all the rules about the dog and then everybody would have to be very strict on it. Soooo I'm just hoping that we will be able to do that and GET a dog!!

Here are the reasons why I want a dog:

1. To have a fun pet companion.

2. To go and take hikes or walks with it.

3. Teach it tricks or discipline. 

4. Plus I have always wanted to be a dog trainer.

5. To set boundaries and limitations with the house or outside. And help it to know what I want it to do. 

6. And if I work with my own dog first and teach it tricks and sit and not to bark etc. I would then be able to work with other different dogs.

And there are probably plenty more reasons why I want a dog but I can't think of it right now. 😊

I have also been taking notes from watching and reading Cesar Millan's YouTube videos and books. Here are pics of what I wrote based off of the vids and books I have seen. And don't judge my hand writing! I know it's bad!

So I recently wanted to get back into drawing so I went on my computer and opened the app Krita and got started on drawing a random face. A girl face. It went ok. It didn't really look that good but I was proud of myself! I took a picture of it and then accidently it deleted the girl's face!! 😐 I was very sad. But I had at least a picture on my phone of her. 

So then a day after I drew another girl's face but this time I looked up faces on the web because I wanted to see how people drew their eyes and hair. So I tried to draw it like theirs and after I was finished it didn't really look like it but it still looked pretty great! I took a picture when it was just a sketch, and then after I put color into it. 

After that drawing I wanted to draw another face and I thought maybe of doing something else like a guys face but when I tried doing it, it was pretty hard so then I went back to drawing another girl face and that went great actually! 

Here are the pics of the girl drawings:

I also tried to do some animation on there too which they also had so I tried that! I first watched a video on how to do it of course then I tried. I actually had a lot of fun doing it! It takes a long time to do it but it looks great! Here is a video!!!

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! :)
