Macho woman

Not so macho man

We were playing around while sarah was taking pictures. The Macho thing was Sarah's idea for a scrap book page. Both brandon and I loved it. I just to post it too.

Youth group

This is one of the pictures took of me just for fun. Unfortunaly the lighting was to bright. The reason why im posting this is to talk about church, and this is a pretty picture. I love my church and im so glad that jesssica has been taking me. All of the sponcers of youth group have helped me out, so does the kids. I always love going to church because I get to learn about god and have fun. This friday we're going to the corn maze. I cant wait! Its going to cost ten dollars but it will be worth it. :) A girl named anna (not my sister) said that she went yesterday, and said that she was only able to get out of 9 mazes and it took her five hours. We will be there for about three hours. We are going to take a bus there and back.

my mom

my mom is the one on the right she the the best. I'm doing this post because I had a bad dream. That I came home from school one day and i was supposed to spend the night at my moms house. When i got home everyone was at my house but my mom, and i was told i couldn't spend the night at my moms house to night. I asked why and i was told she died. No one knew where she was at just a note saying, "I'm sorry to have done this to you guys but I'm dead." The first thing i realized that this wasn't my moms handwriting. so i went to the back yard and noticed that there was a blanket nailed to the grass. I picked it up and nothing was there but a hole

I went inside and when i came back out i noticed that someone had covered the hole with the blanket again. i went outside and uncovered it again then i heard a noise so i jumped in. Luckily i missed my mom who was trying to climb out. I devised a plan for us to get out. Once i got to the top i realized that someone was trying to close the hole with the blanket again. I grabbed the hand and it was Rico from Hannah Montana. I went into the house dragging Rico behind me and told everyone what happened. then i woke up. The first thing i did when i woke up was call my mom to make sure she was OK.

I'm so lucky to have a mom like her. (of course there is more to the dream it would just take to long to write)

kevin

Kevin is Jessica son. he is so cute,funny,and fun to be around.

He is the only boy that's Jessica has but Jessica is in the proses of adopting kid. maybe she will get a boy. Kevin is one year old. I babysit him and he's two sister Danya and Gloria. they can be good when they decide to and when they get there new kids I can't babysitting because you have to be 14 and I'm 13. Kevin have learned a few words, and sounds that mean word like zoom for car, roof for dog and thing like that. and he learned sign langue for things like eat.

He's mom dad and sisters are helping him. Jessica and Danial have done so good with there kids. they are going to be great parents for what ever kid they get. Kevin is a smart little boy. He's going to be a human. {I cant thank of a better word } yes I spelled all by my self.**

Summer Days

The summer is almost gone. Only twenty days left. This summer all i have done was move to a house from a townhome, went camping once, went to four birthday parties, and went to eliches a couple times. I took a lot of pictures though. This one is one of favorites. Also ive been to church with jessicas family every sunday. sarah and anna come too. weve spent some time together this summer but not as much as when we lived by eachother, but at least once a week we have quality time. Ive found out alot more about the girls by baby sitting them too. My favorite part about baby sitting is when we go to the park. I also like taking care of kevin he has grown so much i cant believe it. and i love the mall baby video jessica put of kevin on youtube.

About Anna

Anna is my 5 year old sister. I love her with all of my heart. She can be a pain, but I still love her. In this picture Anna was at Danya's house. They were playing dress up. It was so cute I had to take a picture. Anna is smart, nice, funny,and lovely but sometimes she can be the total opposite.

Her birthday was on June 29th. She had a water party with all of her friends. She had alot of people there and one actually named Shannon, like me! First they all played with the water toys. Then we ate, she opened presents, and everyone went home. I wouldn't trade Anna for anything!

Carnival Birthday

For Anna's 5th birthday we went to a carnival with Jessica. It was $20 bucks for a wrist band but it was worth it! Anna had so much fun hanging out with Gloria and Danya. She calls them her two best friends in the whole world.

The girls went on all the little kid rides. While Sarah and I went on some big rides. The caterpillar, the mini roller coaster, was Anna, Gloria, and Danya's favorite ride. We also all spent the night at Jessica's house. Anna slept in Gloria's room.

Gloria tried spooking her out saying things like, "There are rats on the bed and poison on the floor." Anna asked, "Can I sleep with you?" and Gloria said, "No, I don't want to have a baby." She was a little confused. Anna came up to us crying, saying that she was scared, and that she wanted to sleep with Sarah. Sarah said, "No." so Anna ended up sleeping with me.

This is me on the "Freak Out" and the "Super Loop"! They are awesome!

School's Out!

Goodbye school, Hello Summer! I was so happy when school was out because I didn't have to deal with any more problems. As you may know, I wrote three books: "The Life of a 12 Year Old", "The Life of a 13 Year Old", and "The End of School". These books are available around school and if you read them you can see why I'm so happy that school's out.

No more getting bullied, called names, or being pushed around! I was so happy when I was at Jessica's house that I decided to make a post about it. That's why I put up this post.

Me in a tree

When I was little I loved to climb trees. My Mom called me "Mrs. Monkey". I climbed alot of trees; big ones, little ones, skinny ones, fat ones. One day I was climbing a tree and a dog came running and it started barking up the tree. So I climbed higher. I climbed so high that I got scared and I wouldn't come down. I sat up there for at least an hour calling my Mom. By then the dog was gone, but I was so scared I didn't come down. Finally she came out and I refused to come down and she had to call the fire department. So the fire department came and got me down.

Another story was when my Mom climbed up a tree while Larry, her new boyfriend, and Anna were down by the lake. My Mom started saying, "Anna, Anna, I'm stuck! Come help me!" Some lady actually thought she was stuck so she called the fire department. By the time they actually arrived, my Mom was already down. She was so embarassed because she had to explain to them she was just messing around! When she told me the story I thought it was funny.

This family has been a big change in my life. they are so speacl to me. Even know they dont know they have done a lot for me. When you first look at this pic you see two little girl. Well these two girl had made me reallylis that I dont need friend how push me around but two good one is all. The woman and the man had give me more hope.they had showed me the ligth of god.the woman had open my eyes the life and got me more into reading. she had made me think from both ways. The man I can 100% thruoh for his a man i can in what to resput. he has help me the most. and the baby i just love well really i love all of them. i love so most can bally say things. this post was really hard for to put on here becaese it showing my really feelings.

Happy Birthday Gloria

This Gloria, she is five years old, and today is her birthday. This is the first time i ever met her family. My four year old sister went to her party at Chucky cheese and i went along to supervise Anna. this is how we all became friends. Well actually it started off with my dog Midnight. He was technology just being a puppy but Jessica calls it terrorizing her kids. he would play rough with them and escape his lease when no one was around. After we had to get rid of Midnight we became really close to Gloria and her family. I am extremely glad to meet such wonderful people.anna and gloria become good friends

Zoom!

When I was babysitting the girls and the baby I called their mom and asked if they could play in their little toy car. We took the car to the park and they were driving around the park. I was on the swing with Kevin.

While we were at the park, Gloria drove off somewhere. So I had Danya go stop her since I can't run fast with the baby. Gloria did not stop because apparently she didn't hear Danya. She almost drove out into the street! I had to yell her name. She had the gas pedal floored and was going everywhere. She had closed her eyes! I'm just happy that she didn't get hit by a car. I would have been so worried about her going to the hospital.

Sometimes I miss being a little kid. Seeing how much fun they have, I just miss it. Being a teenager means you can't do things as you can being a little kid because people just think it's weird. You can't act like yourself any more. You can't do fun crazy things anymore like you did as a little kid because now people just think you're weird. But as a little kid, people would just think you were trying to be funny. Do you miss being a little kid? I surely do.

Babysitting

Right now I'm babysitting Danya and Gloria. They're having alot of their friends over. Instead of babysitting three kids, it feels like I'm babysitting a hundred!

We started playing house with me as the mom and Amber as the stepmom. Then me and Amber started getting a little bit annoyed when all the kids started running off. We had to chase them all around and then we had to make a threat that if they did it again we weren't playing any more. After that they all calmed down.

That day for about ten minutes I forgot I was babysitting the girls and ran off with Amber. We were sitting in her house and I remembered that I was supposed to be watching the girls. So I go outside to see what the girls were doing. They were fine, but then my sister told me that a big black dog was just in the house and a strange man had to come get the dog out! Thank goodness nothing happened to the girls and the baby! I would have been in so much trouble with Jessica!

My Babysitter, My Friend

(A note from Jessica to Shannon)

Shannon, you asked me to describe you, but that's hard to do. I like so many things about you, even though I often seem frustrated by little things. I like that you ask me deep questions about my faith that require me to really examine what I believe so that I can put it into words.

I like that you are willing to scrapbook with me even if I don't have much time. I appreciate having you to talk to while I'm doing chores around my house, especially when you hold my baby at the same time so that I can get those chores done. When you really laugh (not that fake machine gun chuckle you do to make Kevin laugh), your laughter makes it almost impossible for me to keep a straight face, it's contagious.

I love that you have taken an interest in my girls, because they so badly needed a friend when we moved here in September. I wish you and Gloria were closer because I know she would love to have the same great friendship that you instantly had with Danya.

Since I first met you it seems like you have become more reliable, more responsible, more mature, and you have earned my trust. Except for a few tiny mistakes, you have done really well taking care of Kevin and the girls. I can tell you are going to be a great mom some day! I hope that we stay friends for a very long time. You will always be welcome at our house, even after we move.
(P.S. - I hope you don't mind me posting this!)

Danya

Danya is 6 years old. She's smart and playful and nice. She is wonderful. She loves to tell stories, dance, and sing. She has her own blog. She has a bunch of stories. There's this one where she ends with a math thing, it's so cute. She has 100s of things to tell. She's great, if you ever see her you'll be happy.

Thanksgivings

My family came over to Jessica's house for thanksgiving. We had a big dinner. I'm so glad that I know this family. They are so great. I'm so glad that my baby sister met Gloria. If she did not I dont know what I'd do.

Cute

Sarah and I were playing dress up with Danya and Gloria. We had a lot of fun. We dressed up in a lot of things. One time Anna came over and dressed up. She dressed so cute!

Teddy Bear

Kevin's first Christmas! Kevin got his first gift from me. I gave him a teddy bear with a hat. He loves it. He had a great Christmas and so did I.

Friends

These two girls are Danya and Gloria, my two friends. I watch them (baby sitting). Danya is the oldest and she is the one standing up. She is very smart and creative. Gloria is very active and smart. They are both playful and nice. Danya said "Shannon is very sweet and I like that she is my friend." Gloria said "Shannon is wonderful."

This blog is about me!

My name is Shannon Caulkins. I'm 13 years old and I love to scrapbook! I also love cooking, watching kids, and playing outdoors. I'm a creative young girl, very smart (even though I do have some reading issues). I've got two sisters and a twin brother. My older sister is 14 and named Sarah. My younger sister is only my half sister. She's 4. Her name is Anna. My twin brother's name is Brandon. Yes, we do get in fights alot.

I started scrapbooking when I was 12 years old. I got into scrapbooking by this wonderful person named Jessica. She has 3 kids, 2 girls and 1 boy. The boy is a baby, 8 months old. The two girls are 5 and 6. They're all great.

My two favorite holidays are Christmas and Halloween. I like Christmas because it's a time to hang out with family and have presents. I like Halloween because of the candy and I can dress up however I want and no one can make fun of me.

This blog is about me!
