My Summer so Far…

July 8th, 2010

I just realized that I have been sooooo busy this summer that I have not had barely any time to blog,  I have been able to do somethings because I can get on my blog at camp this week but not enough time to let you all know how much fun my summer has been so far.

I don’t even know where to start.  Rather then get into details I thought it wojuld be fun to do a top ten list.  Here it is :-)

Top Ten Funnest Things

  1. Ice Skating- It has been 100 degrees here but today i actually went ice skating.  I was really brave and even though I fell alot I got right back up.  This was only my second time ever.  Love it!
  2. Farmer Girl - I spent the 4th of July with my best friend on her farm.  I did horesback riding.  My dad fell of a horse he was riding with out a saddle.  I rode with a saddle and I was awesome.  I also played in a creek in the farm and we saw a private show of fireworks.  The horses names are Timber, Azja, and Oscar.
  3. Horseback camp.  I spent a entire week at horseback riding camp.  I rode in a horseshoe with a horse names Cindy and started a Cindy Low fan club with my friend Sara.  I won a lot of ribbons, first place and CHAMPION.
  4. Guitar.  I think I wrote a little about this, but I still take lessons every week. 
  5. Pool- I go to our pool club a lot and sometimes go with my friends.  The water slide is really cool.
  6. Movies-0 Toy Story 3 - Favorite so far.
  7. Movies - Karate Kid - Loked it a lot.  I take karate.
  8. Movie- Marmaduke-saw that with my friends Julia, Victoria and Nacy - liked it.
  9. Sleepovers with my friends.
  10. Saw two cool outdoor concerts

Best summer ever and it is not even halfway done.

Guitar lesson update

May 26th, 2010

Just wanted to write an update on how my guitar lessons are going.  I wrote about how I got my first guitar and how i was starting lessons.  But now I have something really exciting.  I have my first guitar recital . YEEEEEEEEAAAHHHHHHHHHH!! coming up soon.  My guitar teacher said i was a natural and even though I only had 4 lessons so far he wants me to be in the next recital performance.  We will be playing a duet, probably of Yankee Doodle.  I still need to practice that a little bit.  I am really good on Mary Had a Little Lamb.  I am also learning some Blues chords, my favorite is D7, it is the hardest too. I also learned a special trick, Ta Ta Te Te Ta..

I will have my had video the performance and I will post it this blog.  Check back soon!

Emma star plays guitar

May 19th, 2010

hey that rhymes!  If you are a reader of this blog you will know that I am a singer and songwriter and have hopes of becoming a star one day!  I know it takes a lot of hard work to be a success and I am ready to work hard for it.  Three weeks ago I started taking professional guitar lessons.  My parents bought me a real guitar from a real music store.  My first lesson I learned what the chords were and I also learned how to play Mary had a little Lamb.  That was my homework for the week.  The next class I learned about timing and how long to hold a note.  After the class my teacher said I was a natural and I was born with talent and rythem.  That made me feel awesome.  The homework was to practice chords.  My last class I learned how to play Yankee Doodle.  I am working on this now.  I am hoping that in several months I will be playing some Taylor Swift.  Maybe a couple of years, but who knows.  I will keep practicing until I become really good.  Keep checking back because once I get good enough I will be posting some video on this blog and some pictures.  I guess I should start a Youtube channell just like my Justin Bieber did.

MOTHER’S DAY

May 9th, 2010

today is MOTHER’S DAY.  I have the best mom in the world.

when she woke up my brother and me made her breckfeast in bed it was really fun to do.  Well the cleanup was not that fun, but my mom is worth it.

After she got breckfest in bed we went down stairs were my brother made a stopsign then we gave her cards we spent 3 days making.  After the cards and gifts were opened I then sang a mothers day song to my mom.

ps. did you have a good mothers day?

this day makes my mom happy

she said that it was way better than last year

Justin Bieber versus Miley Cyrus

April 23rd, 2010

It is not like they are really fighting or competing against other but I thought it would be a cool title for this post right.

I guess you can say that they are kind of competing for my top favorite pop star in the world.  I have been in love with Miley Cyrus for the past three years.  I watch her show mostly ever day.  I listen to her in the car about almost all the time.  I went to her concert in Philly on Novemeber 4th (my birthday) 2009 (It Rocked!)  I have all her albums, I have a tee shirt from her concert. I saw Miley’s movie The Last Song last weekend.  SO as you can see I really like Miley Cyrus a lot.

I did not think that I would be able to like a pop star any more than her, until Justin Bieber came into my life.  About 3 months ago two of my good friends told me about Justin Bieber and then I saw him on TV on New Years Eve.  I went to the toy store and I saw his CD and I fell in love with him.  The song Love Me is my favorite on that CD.  Then I saw him on People magazine and had to get it.  I have bought about 5 other magazines with him on the cover.  Of course, I got Justin Biebers new CD when it came out last week.  My favorite song on that one is Baby. I have three Justin Bieber shirts too.  I can’t wait until he comes in concert.

PS. I guess I have room in my heart too love them both.  Who is your favorite: Miley or Justin?

spring break is on the way..hip hip hurray!

March 31st, 2010

Hi my readers. Today was a half day.  When you think of half days you think that you go in late.  Today, we had early dismissal instead.  Why, do you ask?  Because it is spring break time, no school tomorrow or Friday.  The sun is shining after 4 days of rain, I couldn’t be happier.  After I write this I am going to outside and play some softball and basketball with my dad.  I will be writing about my softball playing soon, so be sure to check back in here.

For spring break I have a lot of plans to do:

  • I want to go to Staples and get a new notepad and pens to draw in my new notebook.  I am a talented drawer too you know!
  • Go to Target and get the new Justin Bieber CD, yes he is my favorite and SOOOOOOOOO cute!  I will be writing some posts about him too.
  • I am going to eat lots and lots of candy from my easter eggs that I got from the easter egg hunt at school today.  My favorite candy is jolly ranchers.  I got so much candy that I do not like at all like Laffy Taffees and tootsie rolls. Grossssss!
  • My gparents are coming down all the way from Connecticut for easter.  Every year they set up an easter hunt, if it rains they still do it but they do it inside.
  • Do I get toys for easter?  I forget but I sure do hope so.  Oh yea, last year I got Julie the new American Girl doll, but that was from the easter bunny.

my modeling pictures

March 13th, 2010

Yesterday was a super awesome day for me.  After school I went to my modeling shoot.  This is actually the second modeling shoot that I have been a part of.  Both of them were for a childrens boutique clothing store.  I am going to post some modeling pictures below, these are on the website from the first time.  The new pictures are not up yet but I will post them when they are on the website.

This last time I modeled four different outfits as part of the upcoming spring collection.  The photographer said i was a natural and I got out on the first time she took the pictures.  I really like modeling, it is very fun and I definitely want to continue to do more.  I am now the only girl model for the entire tween clothing line.

my favorite rock chicks (from the 80’s)

February 27th, 2010

Yesterday my dad introduced me to a lot of music on youtube that I never heard before.  Since I want to be a rock star, (you can read about that in my last post) I thought it would be good to learn a little more about the history of female pop/rock stars.  Afterall, Miley Cyrus covered the Joan Jett song I love Rock and Roll when I saw her in concert.

Here is what we did, I listened to and judged 8 different female singers and judged them on 4 categories.  The categories are :

  • looks
  • voice
  • music
  • lyrics

and then I added up the scores and I came up with my top 3.

First, here are the 8 that I evaluated

  • Joan Jett
  • Lita Ford
  • Edie Brickell
  • Natalie Merchant
  • Ani Lenox
  • Traci Chapman
  • Sinead Oconnor
  • b52s

Out of those 8,

here are my top 3 favorites along with a video.

Joan Jett - what she rocks!

Edi Brickel -little different than Joan Jett, I know but i really like it.

who is your favorite female singer from the 80’s. Oh,I I forgot Cyndi Lauper.
