This Weeks Happenings

Some Happening From The Past Week:

1.) This past weekend my wonderful sister Rachel and her husband Brad came for a quick visit. They rode up here from Nevada on their motorcycle along with Brad's mom and her husband. It was good to see them. They are supposed to be coming up for Halloween weekend and they are bringing the kids, so that will be way fun. :)

2.) One of the things that my mom grew in her garden this year were pumpkins. So on Saturday, Cameron & Makayla came over and picked some out. Cameron loved it. Makayla was more excited about the apple she was eating that we picked from the apple tree. :)

My mom (Gramma) and Moo Moo eating her apple. Yum!

Moo Moo still too busy with her apple to care about the pumpkin in front of her. ;)

3.) For 6 hours last week and 6 hours this week, I've been at the courthouse for training. I'm part of Youth Court and I'm so excited about it! (Youth Court is for 1st time offenders, mainly dealing with tickets for minor in consumption of alcohol or minor in possession of tobacco. Everyone in court is made up of youth except for the judge.) Since someday I want to be an attorney, I thought this would be a great opportunity to gain some experience and learn more about the court system. So far, we've learned about the jobs as a juror, baliff and clerk. Holy cow! Those jobs are alot harder then the look on t.v. I never knew how much stuff these people acutally have to do. Tomorrow, we get sworn in by a judge and then we'll have another 2 hours of training from some local attorneys. We'll learn how to write opening & closing statements, how to question a witness, and how to basically present yourself. When your acting as the attorney for Youth Court, you're pretty much on your own. You have to come up with all your own questions and everything. It's kinda scary but I think it will be fun. Hopefully it will give me an idea if this is something that I really want to be doing for the rest of my life.

My Biker Parents :o)

Yesterday my parents woke me up and I thought it was going to be a normal Saturday. But it wasn't. They woke me up to tell me they were leaving. They left me home all alone to go on a motorcycle ride! They joined a Biker club a few months ago and they were all going on a ride. So they threw on their leathers, gloves, and helmets and hit the road. Here's a few pictures of my biker mama and a video of them hitting the road.
