Malary's 8th Graduation

Well, I am done with my elementary education!!!! Well in a way; I still have 5 younger siblings to teach...

The Iowa Street School promotion ceremony was great. All the speeches were amazing and filled with voice. The pictures got annoying after a while but it was worth it.

I am going to Oasis High School. It's an independent study high school. I will also be taking online Palomar and BYU classes too. I can wait for school to start and I am excited that summer stared! I will be at the Del Mar for for two weeks, camping, and showing my animals with the family. Come down and see us June 21-July 6. It is always a great surprise to see people you know watching you clean your animal's pens in your really dirty, smelly, work overalls. The best part is you give them a hug in all that mess too. So please come down and visit so I can give you a smelly hug!! I hope to be able to blog during that time but I don't know. Thanks for checking back here at Greenwood Hoof Hearted Ranch. Where "It's Natural!"

Grandpa's Birthday Party

On Sunday we went to Grandpa's birthday party.

It was really fun and had good food.

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Cherry Pit Spitting Contest- See if you can find the pit!

Adorable Kennedy

Yum.... cake! Mommy made a delicious four layer cake!

Well they do!!

Audrey's Babies

Here are picture of Audrey babies La Mancha's that were born about one month ago. They're so hairy!!! Haha!

Baby Nubians

About one week ago my dairy goat, Janel, had babies. Four babies to be exact! FOUR BABIES! WOW! I don't know where she put them! The little babies are just so darn cute! My mom had to pull three of the four out. Can you imagine having your hand up a goat (with a glove) and feeling around for one of the three tangled babies, maybe two of the 12 legs, and one head match to the legs! Ha-ha! Wow! Crazy isn't!

Anyways, here are some pictures, names, and more of the story.

These are videos are when they were about 1/2 hour old.

The pictures (besides the first one) are about two days later.

Oo-Da-Lally- third born- doe(girl) The biggest one too!

This is my Pretzel. Pretzel was second born. She was a breech. She came out (with a little help) upside down and twisted like a pretzel. Her registered name will probably be Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel though.

Mr. Wiggles- Last one born- buck(boy) He loves to snuggle!

Frank named this goat Ben Kenobi (from Star Wars) He was the first born.

Lots to Type About

Happy Spring! Ha-ha! Finally we had a warm day. My Aunt Paige got this cookbook called Deceptively Delicious. My Grandma got one for her and my family too. There are so many awesome things I can't wait to make in there. Today I made these frozen yogurt pops that were in there. 2 cups plain yogurt (I used vanilla though) 2 cup fruit ( I used black berries and peaches) and 1/2 confectioners sugar. Pour into the ice cube trace and wait. Oh boy, was is delicious. The kids love it. By the way Paige, Yogurt Express is my new favorite! Ha-ha!


April 16th I went to an AWESOME photography class at the San Diego Zoo. Bu the catch is... it was nighttime photography! My grandma took me and we had SO much fun. The class was mostly professional, old, retired men so it was pretty interesting... in a good way...

We went around the zoo after closing hours and took a bunch of pictures. At the end, you pick your two favorite ones to show up on a big projector screen (anonymously) so the teacher, Ron Garrison, could critique it and complement. At first I thought I had no good pictures but Grandma made me turn in some pictures which I am glad we both did! He really actually like ours! When mine popped up on the screen I heard ooooo's and ahhhhh's. He loved the colors and told me to crop it more. Just then, Grandma called out to the WHOLE dang class, "THAT'S MY 14 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER'S PHOTO!!!" Ugh... I elbowed her and told her to shhhh! Ha-ha! People, of course, turned around and said, "You took that picture?" Haha! It was great. The teacher was funny and a lot of good advice/tips. I took lots of notes. That class was defiantly an eye opener for me. Now, I don't see nighttime the same way any more....





Here are some pictures that I took there.



This is one picture I showed to the class. I squeezed through some bushes and saw this bird and it looked cool next to the bridge. My flash was on (stupid) and it lit up the pond. When the picture came up on the slideshow at the end of class this is kinda how the conversation went.

Teacher: "Wow, interesting" After a few moments.. "Did you know that there were fish in that pond?"

Me: "No.."

Everyone laughed.

The straight and narrow path... I will take that pipe out later...




I didn't know I had this flamingo reflection picture till I got home. I think it looks better when I flip it right side up though.... oh well...






Cute.... Oh, this one guy got this picture of a kola's face. It was so close, the lighting was perfect and the eye was amazing. Everyone was awed over it. The teacher was going on about how good it was. I could be believe that is was taken in the nighttime condition! Then the guy that took the picture said, "Oh. Well, it's that kola over there..." Ha-ha-ha! It was the stuffed animals kola in the room we were sitting in!!!!!


He also taught us how to fix that glarey eye...



This is the one that he REALLY liked.. the Ooo aww photo! Ha-ha





Have you ever seen the Zoo parking lot like this? Can you see our car?
