My Exciting Week of School, or NonSchool!

Hey everybody! Last week was so busy for me! I went to Indianapolis with my WE the People class on Sunday and Monday (if you have no idea what that is then please YouTube it or ask me). Then on Tuesday I went to Nashville with my Honors Orchestra and we played at the mall and at the Grand Ole Opry! Then on Wednesday, I had to play with my Honors Orchestra again, but this time we had to play for the 4th graders. Then on Thursday I had a final in Algebra, then later that night I had another concert with my Orchestra. Then on Friday everybody was hyped up because of Christmas Break! And finally, on Saturday, I slept until 11:30 and I had nothing else to do! It was CRAZY!!! But during the whole week, I took pictures for you guys! Yea!!!

I'm 14!

Today it's my birthday! Yea! I'm finally 14!!! Well anyway, I wanted to show you guys what I got! But I mostly asked for money. So ya, that's why I actually don't have to many "big" gifts.

 
I got this bag with my name on it from my Mom! I totally am in love with it!
 
 
Then today, she used her lunch break to go get this for me. Isn't that sweet! So I came home from just taking a super hard algebra test 10 minutes ago and found this delicious cupcake to calm my nerves!
 
That's basically all my mom got me. Besides a trip to New York and D.C. in May with my school... (that's part of my Christmas too)
 
I had a pretty good birthday overall... Besides the stupid math test! Curse math! Why was it invented?!? To kill 8th graders???
 
Love, Loren
 
P.S. the cupcake was from a local bakery thats only a 5 minute drive from my house to there. It's one of the yummiest placest in my city!

Dog Treats!

Last night my dogs ran out of treats for me to give them when they go into their pens when we leave the house. So I went through all of my dog recipes (I have quite a few...), and I found one I have never tried before. Its pretty easy with only a few ingredents. Here's the link to the website so I don't have to right out all the instructions. :D But here are a few pictures that I was able to snap while I made them.

 
 
 
Here's the dough. It was really icky feeling, espically since you have to mix it with your hands. :P
 
 Then here are the treats once they are done cooking!
 
 Abby ate her's in 2 bites!
 
Katies loved her's!

 And Max savored his. Or he was overwhelmed by the amount of peanut butter that was it in. Either way, he sure did love it.
 
And they were just begging for more treats after they got to taste-test them!
 
I can now safely say that these are their faviorites that I have made so far! Don't forget to check out the link for the actual recipe! Please comment if you have a pet, and if you love them enough to make them treats! Lol! I sure do! <3
 
Love, Loren
