Jasmine
Jasmine was an absolute beautiful Cocker Spaniel with a golden coat. My parents owned her before I was born and once I was born we instantly had a bond. She was the sweetest dog you would've ever met. I learned many lessons from her; such as how to be gentle, use kind words and take care of a living breathing animal. Jasmine passed away when I was 4, I wasn't around her for very long or old enough to remember too much but till this day I will always remember her as the perfect dog. m -
Kobackers
Even at the age of 5 I was more intelligent then you'd think. It must have been around 10AM when my mom and I walked into kobackers to get all the ingredients to prepare and tasty breakfast. There must have been a lot on my moms head because she ended up just walking out without paying for the groceries. I without hesitation looked at my mom and said "you didn't pay!" Just as I said that my mom sprinted inside to pay, she had completely forgot. -
Castle Park
Castle park used to be a come to my family and I. My mom, dad and brother would be there all the time. When I was 6 years old my family and I had been there for about an hour and a half, it started getting dark out, we decided it would be best if we started to go home. My brother and I were racing to the car and all of a sudden I tripped and fell down the enormous hill and scrapped my knee. My brother was able to convince my mom to let him sit next to me instead of in his booster seat. -
Starting lacrosse
My brother inspired me to start playing lacrosse, he was so good at it I wanted to be just as good. I started in second grade, one year before all of my friends. I was so nervous because everyone was older then me and I didn't have any friends. I adjusted and just pushed myself even more so I could be at their level. I began to make a lot of friends as well and learned a lot from the older girls. Starting at second grade was an amazing decision. -
Golfing
Ive went golfing maybe 3 times my whole life. I dont find it too enjoyable but one day my family and I stopped at a tag sale and saw so many golf clubs ranging from 50 cents to one dollar. My mom and I knew we should at least get some. And so we did and in that same day me my mom my dad and Alex all went to the fields at the school and the first swing I took the club split in two and went flying. Its safe to say I haven't went golfing after that. -
Sledding at castle park
One day my brother and I had the brilliant idea to go sledding at the baseball field at castle park. We went down countless times and had many laughs. Until one time I beat my brother up the hill and caught him at the perfect time that he was walking up and I began to sled down and screamed "WATCH OUT" I ended up nailing him and he did a full front flip into the snow. We both looked up at each other after and could not catch our breathe from laughing. -
Walking popcorn
I was obsessed with roller blades everywhere I went I wanted to use them. Popcorn, my small little chihuahua who hates everyone except my mom. I decided to bring her on a walk while I rode on my roller blades. I was a battle between her wanting to go home and me wanting to go farther. We began to race back home and she ran inbetween my legs and pulled me down under with her. I can say I never walked her with roller blades after that. -
Playing Cards
Every year in Brazil there is Rodeo that takes place for 12 days, I at the time was too young to attend so I stayed home with my grandma and brother. We made the best out of the situation by staying up playing our favorite card game named bate. My grandma sat across from me super into the game wanting to win just as much as my brother and I. We stayed up for hours and had countless laughs. That night we also ordered pizza at two o'clock in the morning. -
Lemon Tree
In Brazil at my Uncles home he has a beautiful Lemon tree. Not only is it beautiful but more comes with it. Everyday at around 12:30pm two little yellow birds come singing their song to remind my Uncle that it was time for their bath and for him to water the Lemon tree. My Uncle showed me this the first day I got to Brazil and for the next two and a half weeks this would be my "job". It wasn't a job but more of an extravagant experience id never forget. -
Rodeo in Brazil
At 17 years old I went to a rodeo in Brazil we arrived at the arena at around 8pm &my cousins boyfriend did bullriding so he was able to tell me all about it. The bull riding went on for about 2 hours. Once it was over the arena was open to everyone and there were concerts all night. I went with my brother & all of my cousins ranging from he ages 20-30. I was the youngest so everyone was worried about me & wanted to keep me in their rang. It was a time I will never forget. Memories I cherish -
Piranhas
During our trip to Brazil we went to my Uncles other house about an hour away. We planned to fish and barbecue all day and night. My brother and cousins helped my Uncle get the boat in the water and the fishing began. My brother and I would feel the bites but wed pull and there was nothing left, the bait was gone along with the hook. My father laughed right away knowing what was happening. The piranhas were attacking it didnt take long for my brother and I to catch on to the games & hook one. -
Wisdom Teeth
The day I got my wisdom teeth out I was given double the anesthesia I was supposed to get because of how hard one of my teeth were to take out. I woke up not having a clue what was going on and could barely speak, I had a gash on the side of my mouth from all the pulling. I went home and next thing you know I was passed out in my moms arms because of how little I could eat, and how swollen my face was. My mom acted quickly and put salt in my mouth to wake me up and I was okay. Heres me after.
