All About Me!

Hi! I am Anna Madagan. Here I am going to write a little (ok, maybe a lot) about myself and share my favorite things, such as music, books, and hobbies. I really like squidoo. Some of my interests include, horseback riding, reading, writing, singing, taking pictures, and lots more! I am a Christian, and I'm a homeschooler. I really like playing outside and love gardening and riding my bike. My favorite seasons are Spring and Summer. I also like the beginning of Winter. As you may know, I live in a family of nine. Four brothers and two sisters. Seven kids counting me. My mom and dad are really patient and take really good care of me and my MANY siblings! I love to go to my homeschool co-op and hang out with my friends. I really like animals and zebras, and horses are two of my personal faves!

Photography

Me and Photography

Me and my camera! I love photography! It is so much fun and it's a great way to discover and get closer to God! I love taking pictures of my family and siblings, and my favorite things to take pictures of are plants, animals, and flowers! I love taking pictures of breathtaking landscapes, down to furry little squirels. I have the Canon rebel t3. It's a really good camera! I really enjoy it.

Sweet 13 :)

My Birthday!

Cupcakes :)I am 12. My birthday is July 9th. I am older than a lot of my friends and for some reason, that makes me feel special! Haha, I cannot wait until my birthday. I really like holidays. And I like Birthdays the most! I love having parties, having cake and ice cream, seeing friends and family! It is a great way to celebrate another year of life, I mean, who doesn't like birthdays? Mmm, my favorite cake is chocolate! Yummy! I like the icing the best! Birthdays are so much fun and they set a great example of the best gift... Jesus! (and life, of course!)

I predict...

You will have a wonderful year!

predicts:

Hello Anna,
So happy to hear your mom homeschools you. Congratulations on your achievements on squidoo. We homeschool our 7.

Cari_Kay predicts:

You will go on to do great things!

tinamahan predicts:

You will be very successful in your life because you seem very responsible for your age - you will have many followers, because people want to hear what you have to say - you will be a teen role model, because you will show teens that there are more constructive things to do with their time than getting into trouble, like being expressive in creating these pages! Wishing you a Happy Early Birthday!

exotickitten731 predicts:

You will have a wonderful year as well = ]

Ladyeaglefeather predicts:

I say you will be a well known, writer someday. Good luck in everything, you do.

wilfredpadilla predicts:

wilfredpadilla predicts:

Enjoy, it is your day!

BigGirlBlue predicts:

Lucky 13! Have a great time.

favored1 predicts:

Absolutely! With God all things are possible, so I believe Him.

nubitol predicts:

My Family!

My nice, big, Family!

All the Madagan kids, and our dadAs you know I live in a nice large family! Nine people all together! My family sure is big, that's for sure. People ask us "why," and "how," but it is all up to God! I hate to say it, but my family doesn't always get along very well. But, we have a huge family and even small families have temper tantrums. That is ok. We confess our sins, and God does the rest. I hate even more to say, but sometimes I am the one causing the fights. Yeah...But isn't it great that God forgives? My brothers are really gross, and make fart sounds a lot... hey it is the truth. My brothers are sometimes nasty. But, lets find what is good right? I have a nice big family and lots of company! God has surely blessed us! My two little sisters are five and three. I love them so much, and need to work on acting nicer to them! Same to my brothers. Ellis, the oldest is almost 15, and is right here on squidoo! (Maytheforcebewithyou13) Braeden, is 10 years old (brmadagan). Kellen, is the second to youngest brother, and is adorable! And, Declan! My real-life teddy bear! My mom and dad are awesome and my mom is on squidoo: Blessedmombygrace She's awesome, loving, and caring. I love my family!

(People in photo from left -Top row: Ellis, Braeden, Anna, and dad holding Delcan. - Bottom row: Eilley, Kellen, and Maebrey.)

Music!

My Favorite Music!

iPod TouchHey what girl doesn't like music? I like to listen and dance to music. I like to listen to Christian rock, and praise. Just because it is Christian doesn't mean it isn't good! And it isn't just good! It's GREAT! I have an iPod Touch 3rd generation, and I love to listen to music on that. I like TobyMac, Third Day, Newsboys, Relient K, WOW hits, Stephen Curtis Chapman, RED and Skillet. They are all my favorite. I like to listen to fast music more then slow. I get a lot of comments from people saying I have a great singing voice, and one day, it would be nice to be a real live singer! I believe that singing is one of the wonderful gifts the Lord has blessed me with!

Some cool songs (I like) on iTunes!

Track Artist Album  
Get Back Up tobyMac Tonight
Awake and Alive Skillet Awake
Love Song Third Day Third Day
We Joy Williams WOW Hits 2007
Cinderella Steven Curtis Chapman This Moment

bakergirl9 says:

I love Toby mac

homeschoolgirl1 says:

i love tobymac too mrs. madagan!

Never heard it and don't want to!

exotickitten731 says:

I'm not much for christian music at all, but I do love many types of music, from rock & country to Hip hop & Rap, I grew up with rock & country but in my teens I started listening to my own personal music Hip Hop & Rap, I even did it to frustrate my parents sometimes lol and even my brother!

KathyT says:

Actually, it's not that I WOULDN'T give it a listen - but (and please don't take offense) - if it's like the stuff that began blaring when I opened this lens (and I had to mute the sound in order to continue), then I'm guessing it's not my style. :)

pheonix76 says:

Not particularly. I lean more towards rock, alternative, and folk.

ben186422 says:

nah

grandmamarilyn says:

I have not heard of some of the ones you are talking about. I like to listen to Bluegrass Gospel and Old Time Religion type songs. But I agree with you I don't like the really slow ones. I am going to click Never heard of it but I don't necessarily don't want to.

Horseback Riding

I love horseback riding!

Me and Teddy last winter! I love horseback riding so much! Not to brag, but, I am pretty good at it too! Horse training comes along with it too, and I love that a lot too! I love horse riding and jumping, and I love horses themselves! They are one of my many favorite animals, and I get to spend time with them, my friends, and instructer every Tuesday morning! Riding in the rain can sometimes be fun, but also a little dangerous... I have been bucked, and have fallen off a lot, but the Lord has kept me safe and sound and the worst injury was a slight concussion.
