Ok, so I've learned how to ride the 4 wheeler, and I was riding it in the field at grandmas house while Callie, Corban, Nolan, and Izzy were in the mule. Callie was doing 'drivers ed' with Corban to help him get his mule driving 'license'. I was riding behind them when they stopped to look over the land I stopped too and it was beautiful then they started up again and drove off. Then the 4 wheeler just stopped and shut down all of a sudden. I pressed the start button to start it up again but it wasn't working. 'Ok' I thought 'I have it in neutral and I'll try to start it again' I tried again but it still wasn't working. I was trying to start it and get it into neutral but the 4 wheeler light that indicated that it was in neutral wasn't lighting up. So I got out and pushed the 4 wheeler a bit to see if it was in neutral, one of the ways you can tell if it is, is to see if it can move, and it did so it was in neutral. I was getting worried and thought that maybe it was out of gas but the gauge said it was full. So then I said a prayer and I tried it four more times and on the fourth, it just turned on! I am so thankful that it turned on and I was able to have fun riding over the field and that it was able to start again so we wouldn't have to drag it all the way back to the house.

Scary ride (thankful day 2)
Grandma has horses their names are Hondo and Dixie. Hondo is a bay and he responds really well but can't go anywhere without Dixie. Dixie is a beautiful paint she LOVES to eat so much that grandma has to close off some of the fields so she doesn't overeat because when she does her hoofs become soft and she could become lame😥 she also only really moves if Hondo is moving. Ok now you have the backround info. So Grandma and I were out on a trail ride in the woods, she was on Dixie and I was on Hondo. We were on shepherds lane and we were almost out into the field when I realized we didn't have our orange vests on. (you have to wear them during hunting season especially in the woods so other people don't accidentally shoot you) Right after I told grandma we heard a LOUD gun shot. Like OH MAN. Dixie spooked. She is really skittish and spooks really easily. (spooking means the horse is afraid and reacts jerkily like bolting, bucking, or standing still and losing footing ect...) So we were out on the field going back to the house. The field is a bad place for the horses because they can see the barn and want to bolt back to it. Hondo was doing well but Dixie kept standing still every time there was a gun shot, and there were ALOT. and it was ONLY on the way back. like 🙄 why dude, couldn't you have waited 20 min. for us to go back to the house. Oh well! The whole time we were walking back to the barn I kept looking back checking on grandma to see if she was ok, I was scared that Dixie would spook and bolt/buck grandma off. But thankfully we all got back safely and we were alright
PATATO GUN
Daddy made a potato gun when he was a teenager and it is a pvc pipe attached to a chamber were you spray hairspray into and close it with a cap that has a spark plug attached to it. First you put the ammunition (potato's, or parachute man or something else) in the pipe and then hairspray, then kneel and push the spark plug and BOOM! yay blasting potato's! We also were shooting bottle rockets in the middle of the day because, why not?! so that was fun!
I helped butcher a deer (not really but still)
So as you know daddy shot a deer at my grandma's house and the story of how is actually pretty funny, I wasn't there my dad was just telling me the story. So my dad was army crawling for about a football field length across my grandma's land to get closer to a group of 7 to 8 deer. The deer kept looking up and at each other in group-think like 'guys, there is a guy with a gun coming towards us are you worried? no, do you? do you think we should run? no. Ok, then I guess I'm not worried too.' and go back to eating and they did that the WHOLE time, daddy even shot two shots at them and they STILL didn't run. They were all still deciding to run or not and were like 'you wanna run? no ok' and not until one of their own was shot that they actually ran. 🤔😶 It's like GO RUN if even one of them run away and didn't participate in the group think they would've all followed and all been saved. but then we wouldn't have deer meat and venison is REALLY good soooooo 🙄😏. Then daddy got the tractor out to get the deer back to the house from the field. Our dog Josie went with daddy and ran faster and found the deer and was like 'LOOK MASTER LOOK I FOUND A DEER for you master! A DEER all by myself!' And then daddy was loading the deer in the tractor and then granddaddy walked up and Josie was barking and growling like 'BACK OFF this is me and masters KILL our KILL back off!' and granddaddy said he thought that Josie would bite his leg off. 😏😆 And then the next day daddy started to butcher it and I watched the WHOLE time. IDK I 'helped' because I kept daddy company while he butchered. It was actually pretty cool! once you take the fur and skin off you can see the muscle groups and the certain cuts you have to make. ok getting a little gross (idk what your comfort level is) so I'll stop but I thought it was neat and awesome, but still a little gross. I was in the shed with him the whole time watching him butcher the deer.
🦃Thanksgiving! 🦃
We are at grandmas house!!! Yay,😁 we arrived last night and today is Thanksgiving! So we have had A TON of fun so far! I rode the four wheeler for the first time!!😃 I have been focused on learning the dirt bike and now I can ride the four wheeler! I can go through the woods riding it! The first couple of times I went through was a bit scary because I had just learned it but the dirtbike translates over to 4 wheeling the only difference is no clutch to change gears (why I like it better) Daddy was on the dirt bike and we were going on the trails the 4 wheeler is wide and snagges on roots or rocks on the side which throws it off a bit and you have to make it straight again the scary part was I turned too wide and almost bumped into a tree twice. But I learned how to back out and ride it correctly and now it's really fun! Thanksgiving diner was AMAZING! We had all of the traditional foods! Green bean casserole, corn, rolls, cranberry sauce, and of course a delicious turkey!!!

Poems
So I like writing poems (i think) and I've been taking creative writing because there were only 5 available electives I could take on my online school, K12. languages, creative writing, game coding, art history, and music history. I LOVE art but I wanted to MAKE art, not learn about the history. Same thing with music. So I knew I wanted to take French! And I LOVE writing. My mom didn't want me to take game coding. But I think is SUPER cool but IDK. Anyway we had to write poems for class and I was like 'oh kayyyy' so then I did and I just want to share some of my favorites with y'all.
This is a concrete poem (poem that make a picture) And I like this formatting of poems the best because it combines some of my favorite things! Writing and art! The blog wasn't formatting the poem correctly with the gingerbread man so here is the link

This is a limerick, it's purpose is to make fun of something, so in this one it's taking about how people you think are perfect still have flaws
Halitosis
There once was a beautiful girl
whos skin was as white as a pearl
She was sweet and kind
And smart in mind
but her breath made the strongest man hurl
this is a traditional rhyming poem with A,B patterns
Lets Enjoy
Autumn is here for now
Let’s enjoy it, how?
Watch the leaves tumble down
sweeping dancing all around
With colors of red, brown and gold
All the days getting cold
Gently drifting smooth and swift
Lets enjoy autumn's gift
Hear the crunch of smashing twigs
Hear the laughter of little kids
See the colors change and shift
Feel the warmth of summer lift
Enjoy the crisp autumn days
And the cool autumn nights
Enjoy the beauty of the sights
Let the football season begin
With teams that lose and win
Hot cider, apple pie
Tall trees, clear sky
Lets enjoy autumn while it lasts
Let's enjoy autumn before it is past
This last one is a free verse, just writing something poetic. You can choose either rhyme or not to.
STAND UP
There comes a time
Were we all
Have to stand up
And be brave
To rise
To help create
And build
To make choices
And not be let down.
Even when it’s hard
And it will at times
We will fall
But there is a way back up
We just have to ask
And there will be help
To pull us back on our feet
To continue the journey
And help us along
To catch us when we stumble
And guide us through
Even when there is nobody
There is always someone
We can unite
And stand up
And rise together
As one
As a whole
And we can be strong
We can be fierce
We can be kind
And we can understand
With no more confusion
And live in peace
If we all stand up
against the mighty winds
of the world
Leaf Sledding!
Yesterday Corban, Nolan, and Izzy went outside with the sled and I was like guys what are you doing with the sled, it's not even snowing? And they gave me the frustrating answer of 'you'll see'. So I followed them and figured it out. Since it's been raining all week it's wet and slippery, and since the grass is covered in leaves that make the perfect ride. It was a lot of fun to go on the top of the slide and whip down and try to get the farthest. I got a few pictures too! It was hard because they were moving so fast to get a really good one but Izzy was so excited when I told her it would be on my blog she started cooperating and posing like a movie star on her way down so she could 'be online'!😂 The sky was PINK. Literally pink it was so pretty and I didn't even know the whole sky could even turn that color. Pink is also my favorite color so it was cool to see the sky pink. Anyway, my siblings are SUPER sweet but can also be REALLY annoying (because they're siblings) The meme below is one I made and it cracks me up! because it's so true! And the grandma has a mischievous face!

Random Thoughts
Ok, so this is a page full of the most random thoughts as the title says so let's get to it!
RANDOMEST THOUGHTS BY ADDIE HALL
This baymax one I did is SOSOSO cute I usually use references for my drawings when I draw animated characters or actors.
This picture of my dog Josie looks like it could be the cover of her autobiography
INTELECTUAL THOUGHTS AND QUESTIONS OF LIFE
BY: JOSIE HALL
CHAPTER ONE: Why do humans like to stay inside all the time and not play out with me all day? Why can't I drink from the water bowl in the room with the dreaded bathtub? Why can't I go on the couch? ...🤣
I make pinatas all the time and will probably do a whole blog post about that later, these were for Halloween.
My background because you gotta have Flynn Rider grabbing for google, to steal one more thing before he is lost into the abyss... I need help
I photoshopped this one day because I was bored Read it, it is hilarious
This is my house, we live in the middle of beautiful woods! And fall here is especially pretty because you get to see all of the changing colors but right now it's been raining nonstop for a week so most of the leaves are gone and ALL of them are red. no more orange or yellow🙁and I'm pretty sure that when summer left it took the grass with it because it has been replaced by leaves.
Me and my crazy Imagination
So I see things a little differently than most people. My imagination jumps to something completely different. Some people can see it and 50m3 p30pl3 d0n'7. 7his 1s a 57ranged 7hing. anyways here are some pictures of the things my imagination sees. (you can click on the pictures to see them better.)

Allergic reaction
So last post I said that we were at Shenandoah crossing for Nolan's birthday. So after we had finished watching the Lego Movie we did the nightly routine, brush teeth, wash face, PJs, etc... So then we went peacefully to bed. Then I wake up in a foggy haze, I'm Itching SO BAD and I am coughing so much I can't breathe. I immediately know that something is wrong and I try to get out of bed and realize it is SO dizzy to stand. I'm haking at my breath coughing gasping for air while trying to stifle the itch at the same time. Apparently, my coughs woke up my parents and they came into the room I was sharing with my sisters (Callie and Izzy) they gave me an inhaler and that helped with the breathing for a bit, then as soon as I started itching I started coughing again. Then I connected the dots the harder and longer I itch the more I would not be able to breathe.
Mama told me to calm down and try to slow down my breaths. She also said to get into the shower because that's what grandma did for my dad when he had asthma attacks the hot air and fumes help with breathing. But I knew that this wasn't an asthma attack. I got into the shower and was immediately relieved... momentarily. The water was so nice against my skin especially the shower helping the itch but I still needed to focus on breathing and NOT ITCHING! If I itched for longer than 10 seconds I would start to hyperventilate and then I would start panicking and hyperventilating more. Breathe DON'T ITCH breathe. It was SUPER painful. It was 1:26 am so nobody was open and we were like an hour away from the closest doctor. I waited in the tub for the pain to pass it was so ITCHY.
At about 2:33 Mama had finished calling teladoc (telephone doctor) and we were waiting for them to call back to ask me about my symptoms. If my skin rubbed or slightly even brushed against ANYTHING it would flare up and itch again. So I was like all spread out trying not to touch anything, including my skin. My skin was lobster red like literally SO red. It felt like the worst sunburn times a million. Mama asked if I wanted to get in eh car and drive to the doctors but if I tried to stand or even sit it would be SO SUPER dizzy the only position that was comfortable was lying in the tub. Then after a while, things started to calm down and I could touch stuff again and the itching backed off! And then I noticed that my knees down hadn't been itching the entire time and of course as soon as I thought that they flared up. It felt SO much worse because everything else was calmed down. And then after the same process, they finally calmed down too. I was able to get on some smooth pajamas on without it hurting too bad although it still was really dizzy to stand but not as bad to sit one step at a time I thought!
It was about 3:28 and I asked my dad for a priesthood blessing. He did and about half an hour later I was able to go to sleep with minimal itchiness! I have NO idea why the breathing and itching thing connected together but Mama says it was a severe allergic reaction. I also am VERY grateful that my dad holds the priesthood. I have no idea how to write this in a way that would explain the whole experience and pain but I'm glad it's over! I am fully back and healthy. I wish I knew what I was allergic to so I am able to prevent it from happening again but alas I remain in ignorance. Sorry if this story wasn't what you expected with the title and all but you got to make a dramatic entrance and catch people's attention. Although at one point I really thought I was going to die. I hope that wasn't TOO wordy.
