My Gingerbread House

This morning, I maked a gingerbread house with My Jenny and Papa.  We did lots of icing and put on candy pieces.  I made a teddy bear on the side of the house.  It was lots of fun.  Then, at 10:30, I had my second basketball game.  My team winned and I scored two baskets by myself!!  My coach said I'm doing really good!  After that, we had to buy groceries and then I helped Papa build rabbit cages outside in my pajamas!  Last night, we went to the zoo in the dark acause they had lots of lights - like millions of lights!  It was really cool.  There were no animals out though - they went to bed.  I did get to see snakes, lizards and fish though (Reptile House).  Today I am sick.  I have a bad cough and sore throat.  Are you well?  I telled Mana and Papa I couldn't go to school on Monday acause I'm coughing.  Papa said "we'll see".

Advent Countdown...

Hello!  My family and me are doing the Advent Countdown.  Do you know what that is?  We have these cards that tell us everyday what to do on each day.  If you want to, you can do it with us.  Here's the list for you...
Day 5      Do something special for a family member that makes their life easier.
Day 6     Watch 'It's a Wonderful Life' together with your family in your PJs and eat popcorn
Day 7     Make/decorate a Yule Log (my Papa drilled holes in a log for candles and stuff)
Day 9     Make Salt Dough Ornaments for the tree (we have a snowflake cookie cutter for ours)
Day 10   Paint salt dough ornaments and put some ribbon on and hang on a tree

That's some days for you.  I can give you some more days later.  I am getting tired of standing here with Mana.  Did you see the picture of that white teddy bear?  On Day 2, we shopped for a toy to buy for someone who doesn't have no presents.  At my school, we have a Christmas stocking and we buyed three matchbox cars for it.  Mana buyed the white bear for me to take to the fire station to give to some kid when there is an emergency.  BUT, I want to keep the bear now and don't want to give it away.  It is really soft.

Oh, know what?  The tooth fairy came again! Actually, she was too busy acause I lost my tooth on Thanksgiving and she didn't come.  The next morning, there was a note from her!! She didn't forget to come - she just was taking a break acause it was a holiday.  And know what?  She brought me this golden coin - it's a dollar.  I know other people don't have these.  The note said my tooth was very special and that's why I got a special coin. I'm going to take it to show and tell on Friday to show my teacher and class!  I'm going to take the note too!!

Basketball and things...

Did  you know I'm playing basketball again?  I am!  Tonight was my first practice.  I will practice again on next Wednesday after Thanksgiving and my games start soon.  There's a lot of people on my team - I think about 12.  

Are you ready for Turkey Day?  In my school, I'm learning about the Pilgrims and Indians.  The Indians teached the Pilgrims how to plant corn.  Do you know about that?  You put fish in the ground and then put the corn seeds in the ground too.  The fish would stink really bad, right?  That's not how my Papa plants corn.  Maybe he should try that - with stinky fish.  

I'm going to my Gram and Granddad's house for Thanksgiving.  Mana already started making pies and she made two Pumpkin Pies without me. :(   I'm going to help her make a chocolate cake, and pumpkin cookies and apple pie.  I'm going to help my Papa make pecan pie and cook some chickens and a big turkey in the big grease pot outside.  

You know my Papa has been in Texas and I've been helping my Mana do the animal stuff.  At night, we shut up the chickens.  In the morning we get eggs and feed the chickens and baby chicks - but they're not so much babies anymore - they are half grown.  We feed the rabbits food and give them hay.  I help my Mana fill up the chicken's water too.  She says I've been a big help.  I wake Mana in the morning and we go down to take care of the animals together.  Papa comes home tomorrow sometime, so we won't be doing it past tomorrow.  I told Mana to leave the eggs for Papa to clean too, but she said she needs to help Papa and clean the eggs.  Papa needs something to do when he gets home, right?

I'm doing my homework now.  All I got left is to read some pages with my Mom.  I'm taking a break first to eat tomato soup and a toasted cheese sandwich first before I read.

Oh, one more thing ~ I got 3 baby fish that's orange in my fish tank.  Now, I have a black molly, a spotted molly, a mickey mouse fish (acause you can see the mickey head and ears near it's tail), an algae eater, and 3 orange baby fish.  My two golden snails in the tank died.  

I love you!

My first race!

Today was my first one mile race!  I runned really fast and it was at the airport!  Mana did the race with me acause my Papa flyed to Texas to see his brother and Kristin.  Me and Mana did some warmups and some stretching before we started running.  Other people did that too.   When you are a runner like me and Papa, you drink Gatorade and you eat some stuff called 'Gu'.  My gu was strawberry/banana - it's this stuff that you eat that gives you energy to run fast. 

 I stopped four different times to wait for Mana to catch up.  Then, I runned again.  Finally, close to the end, I didn't wait for Mana anymore and crossed the finish line by myself.  Jenny went too - she taked our pictures.  At this race, I got this cool wing pin - you see it?  It's what pilots have too!  I had a good time running.  I got a special race shirt too, but you can't really see it acause my bib number is in the way.  

After the race, Mary picked me up and guess what?!!  We went to a Gamecocks football game!  Mary buyed me this cool Gamecock sweatshirt and hat.  I got to watch the whole game - they won you know!  It was 24 to 7.  After the game, we went to Mary's house and watched Sponge Bob and then came home.  It was a really good day!

My Shoebox Gift...

Did you know you could get a shoebox and make it a present?  You can.  You take a shoe box, pick if you want it to be for a girl or boy, and put toys and stuff in the box.  It will go to another country, okay?  Mana said it's called 'Operation Christmas Child'.  So, we went to Michael's and I found this cool stuff for a boy.  I buyed him a gummy sucker, a wooden puzzle, some crayons and notebook, a cool yo-yo toy, some slipper socks, a squishy Christmas ball with a light that lights up when you throw it, some jacks with a different ball and some other stuff that I can't remember now.  It almost didn't fit in the box.  Then, my Mana helped me write a little card to go in the box to my new friend.  I think my box went to Africa.  Have you ever done that?  You can if you want to.

My family visit...

Did you know my Grandpa, and Gaga, and Austyn and Brandy came to visit me?  Yep!  They did!  They came Friday night to my house and picked me up and taked me to the hotel.  Then, they comed with me to my game on Saturday and then everybody went to do the corn maze.  You see that picture?  There's this really big black slide that everybody can slide on.  My Gaga slided but not my Grandpa.  My Papa slided too but Mana didn't this time acause she was taking the pictures.  We did lots of fun things at that farm.  We bounced on these little horses (so did my Gaga and Mary!), we rided tricycles around, we raced little rubber ducks (mine was blue), climbed all over things and in things, swung on tube swings and played on the slide.  We got gatorade too!  I had a great time!


My last soccer game...

I had my last game on Saturday (yesterday).  My team didn't win but we don't win acause we play against some kids that are bigger acause they are 8 years old.   Me and my team have lots of fun though.  I have 6 other people on my team and we all go to the same school.  There's one girl on my team too.  We posed to have a party maybe next week at Cici's to celebrate.  I got my trophy at my last game too.  See?

HULK SMASH!!

You see me?  Did you know that was me?????  It is!!!  I am HULK SMASH!!  I got big muscles!!  Tonight is Halloween and I am going trick-or-treating with my Moma and my friend Landon and his Moma.  I got lots of green makeup on my face and hands.  You see my black hair too?

I weared my costume to school today too, but no green makeup on my face at school.  My friends thought I looked cool.  I had a big party today too and already got lots of candy!!!


My First Love Letter...

Papa taked me to school yesterday and there was this note on my desk.  Papa readed it to me.  It was from Gracie in my class.  I felt embarrassed and when I got home Papa telled Mana I got a letter from a girl.  Mana asked me what the letter said but I didn't want to say.  I telled her it said Gracie loved me and had a crush on me.  That's all I telled Mana.  Mana laughed and said I would get lots of love letters.  I don't want any love letters!  Mana said that I was wonderful and she loved me and that because I was wonderful, other people loved me too.  I telled Mana only people at home could say they loved me.  No one else! 

Note:  He was pleased to inform me that Mrs. Moody talked to Gracie about the letter - and that she had gotten in trouble two times now! :)

I am grumpy...

Did you know right now, I feel grumpy?  I am really tired and was crying when I talked to Brandy today, and then cried all the way home because I acted messy in the grocery store and didn't get to spend my quarter on candy.  I am still some grumpy acause I am working on my homework with my Papa.  Do you get grumpy sometimes?  I telled Mana it's because I am really tired and my neck hurts.  

Right now, I am working hard on my oral book report that I have to do in my school on Friday.  My book that I'm doing is called 'God's Mighty Warrior' by Sheila Walsh.  That's what I am, you know.  I am God's Mighty Warrior.  He helps me do good stuff and protects me.  I get to take my cape and helmet and sword for my book report.  I get to draw some picture of regular armor - this protects your body.  I get to draw a picture of God's armor too - that protects your heart.  We can wear God's armor if we ask Him to put it on us every day.  Now, Papa is reading me the story again.  But I am still grumpy.  My Mana will make me some heart cookies and me and Jenny are going to put icing in the shape of a shield on the cookies.

I've been doing lots of things.  Did you already know I got my Bobcat patch?  I got it on my camping trip.  I had to memorize three hard things.  I'm still practicing soccer on Tuesday night and sometimes my Papa who is my coach lets the parents play with us.  

My hamster is good.  I help change out his cage but I still don't like to do it.  It's yucky!

We have 26 baby chickens now.  We 'posed to have some baby ducks too.  My Papa buyed this inculator (incubator) and we put lots of eggs in it a few weeks ago.  Almost all the chicken eggs already hatched but the duck eggs take longer to cook in there.  Two of the baby chicks died - we don't know why - one had a weak leg and one never got out of it's egg.

Me and Duke (my dog) play lots together.  He likes to lay in the bedroom in the morning while I am eating breakfast and watch TV.  He's a good chaser of things like sticks and pecans and balls and most of the time he will bring the stuff back to you that you throw but sometimes not.  

I am coming to VA in three days for the pumpkin cut!  Did you know that?  Are you coming too?  I am going to cut a pumpkin with Rhylee and Braeden and they are coming on the trip with us.  I get to bring my pumpkin back home from Virginia.  I will see lots of people that is my family when I am there too.  For Halloween I am going to be HULK!!  My Mom buyed me a costume and big hands and green paint for my face.  

Bye!!

Be careful...

Did you know in the winter your heart can get so cold that it can freeze and your blood pressure will go down?  You know what happens?  Your heart gets really cold that it freezes and your blood pressure can go way down - it can go all the way down to your feet.  And know what?  That is NOT GOOD!  Then all the color goes away from you too.  That happened to me once.  I don't remember when but it happened.

Something else too - did you know gorillas eat ticks?  They eat lots of gross stuff too.  One was picking his nose!

Rhylee's Birthday

Did you know my cousin, Rhylee, turned 5?  I am always going to be older, right?  Cause when she turns six like I am now, I will already be 7.  I will be bigger than her too.  I'm going to be big like my daddy!  At Rhylee's party, we had cake that was a dress of a barbie doll.  Have you seen that before?  They make the cake and put the doll in the middle and the cake is her dress.  Wanna know something funny?  That doll was naked - she didn't have no clothes on!  The bottom cake part that was around the doll had pink see through paper (saran wrap) around her.  Rhylee's Meme made the cake for her.  It was pretty cool.  We played outside and with Rhylee's new toys.  I like playing with Rhylee a lot.

New picture...

If you look ALL THE WAY to the bottom, you will see a picture of me and my dog, Duke.  He's great!  Can you see the rest of my chicken pox too?

My week....

We were 'posed to go to the mountains last weekend to Yogi Bear Camp in NC.  I like this camp a lot and we stayed there last year too.  But when Papa was loading the car, I pulled my shirt up cause I was a  little itchy, and I had lots of spots all over my chest and tummy.  Papa and Mana thought it might be chicken pox and we didn't go on our trip.  We didn't pick apples either.  Me and Papa were reading about chicken pox and I get to stay home 10 days from school!!!!!  I like having the chicken pox!

Well, today is Monday and we went to the doctor and he doesn't know what I have.  He said it doesn't look like chicken pox and I've had two shots for the chicken pox.  The doctor said I had to go back to school. :(  Papa said I could stay out Tuesday though since I was already going to be out of school because I was going to the mountains.  We watched movies and played some games and laid around the house Monday and Tuesday.

Wednesday and Thursday I went to school.  On Thursday, my Papa and Mana took me to a different doctor cause my rash was still there but getting better.  And, you know what???  I have the chicken pox!!  I was happy until Papa asked the doctor if I should stay home and he said no because I wasn't contagious anymore. :(

On Friday, we had show and tell at my school and I weared my whole bee suit to show my friends!  Papa bringed a picture to show them of me and him standing around the bee houses in our bee suits.  I telled them what we did with the bees and they don't sting you.  My friends liked my bee suit.

Saturday, first I went with Papa and Mana to Mana's short work for a little while and me and Papa picked out some supplies while Mana worked.  Then, Papa went home and Mana took me to a birthday party.  It was lots of fun - they had the party at a place called 'The Plex' and inside the building was bouncy houses, and slides, and games and lots of things.  I climbed some up this mountain thing and when I got half way up I got a little scared and slid down the rope.  I did it two times.  Mana said I went high!  Then, they strap you in this bouncy thing where you can jump up and down and they lift you in the air some and it's like you are jumping up and down in the air.  After the party, I wanted to roller skate some there too, so Mana helped me and we stayed another 90 minutes roller skating.  I needed lots of help because I kept falling.  I practiced a lot and Mana said I was doing great!  You know what?  On the 5th time, I went all the way around the rink without holding Mana's hand!  I fell down lots but I didn't hold her hand.  So, Mana is going to pick me up at carpool on Monday and take me to Sonic because that was the deal. 

I love you!  Bye!


Bowling

Last Sunday afternoon we went bowling for all my good 'A'+'s!  We had a good time.  I made some strikes too!  Mary and Papa and Mama and me and my Mana were all there.  We bowled for two hours and it was lot's of fun!  We had the guards up (bumpers) so it could help everybody with bowling.  Some times, we bowled to see how many times you could hit the guards before knocking down the pins.  I won that game - I hit the guards 7 times!!  And, the lady at the bowling place had to go get my ball because it stopped and didn't knock down anything.  So, then she rolled it down the rest of the way and I got a strike!  Two things I won - the seven times and the strike!!!  Everybody laughed.

My butterfly...

We found all these caterpillars all over Mana's vine with leaves (Passion flower vine) and they ate ALL the leaves.  Mana thought we should keep some caterpillars in jars to see what they hatched into.  We took one to school too and then she looked it up on the internet.  This caterpillar is called a Variegated Fritillary and it is an orange butterfly.  Do you see me in the picture?  This is one that just came out of the cocoon and it's wings are not dry so it just hangs around.  I got to hold it for a while.  When I got tired of holding it, Mana hung it up on the vine until it wanted to fly away.  I'm not scared of them.  At school, the butterfly hatched and we let it go outside.  Mana caught another caterpillar for me and I might take it to school on Monday so we can watch that one too.  The butterflies are all over the lantana bushes and butterfly bushes.

Right now, me and My Papa are doing battle.  We are spinning some tops around.  However's top stops first, they lose.  I have the real spinner one and I gave Papa the spinning Cinderella toy. :)  I'm going to win!

My teacher, Mrs. Moody taught me something really cool ~ Manners will take you where money never will.  I say it to Mana and Papa often and they said that was really true.  I have good manners, right?

Oh!  Guess What?!!  I have 12 'A's now and I get to go bowling after my soccer game next Saturday!!!
I have to do some chores now - I don't like to work, but I've been learning that's what I'm posed to have to do.  Today, I had to help Mana clean up yucky dog poop all over the yard.  I weared rubber gloves and used my shovel.  I earned $1.00 for helping!  

I love you!

Saturday

Hi  everybody.  I didn't have school today.  I went with Mana all day and we did errands.  We went to take my new dog to the vet.  Did you know I had a new dog???!!  Papa and Mana got me one from the pound.  His name is Duke and he is black and white and Lab and Springer mixed.  He's a good boy.  So, we taked him to the vet acause he needed shots.  Then we bringed him back home and I went with Mana to her short work and got orange soda.  Then, I helped Mana buy groceries and we went to CVS and then we buyed more fish.  I have this cool red fish called a Mickey Mouse fish.  You know why they named it that?  It's because on it's tail is the Mickey Mouse head and ears.  It's really cool.  Mana buyed me some golden snails to eat algae.  She buyed two more fish to go outside in the fish pond because the last two ones died.  We don't know why.  One is still living out there.  So, when we got home, we were tired and then we watched Pink Panther.  Papa said you might remember it - it's a old cartoon with no words.  Do you?

Monday again...

Well, I got three more 'A's!! I had another vocabulary test and spelling test and got two more 'A++' so Mana says we can count that as three cause I'm doing so good!  I showed them my folder as soon as I got in the car today!  Now ~ I have just 6 more 'A's and I'm going bowling!!!!  My friend Aaron can't come though because this is a special treat for just me and I telled Mana that it was just a family thing and he couldn't come.  Aaron is coming to spend the night with me on this Friday.  I might have a soccer game Saturday but my team doesn't have a coach yet.  I haven't started practicing soccer yet but I can play really good.  Right now, I'm sitting on the floor next to Mana coloring her this really cool picture.  I am making her pretend money with her name on it.  It says Mana, and $1,000,000.00!  I put lots of colors all around the sides of the money.  We play store all the time and restaurant where I am the waiter.  My tummy isn't feeling good at all so Papa buyed me some ginger ale.  I am feeling better a little bit because I asked Mana for a piece of candy and you know what she said?  No!  I don't know why, my tummy is feeling much better.  I have to wait until after dinner and see how I feel.  I already telled Papa in the car on the way home today that I wasn't going to be able to go to school until Friday because I was sick.  Papa said I could only stay home if I frowed (threw) up or had a fever.  

I've been trying to talk to Mana about why she needs a smart phone - it's because it talks to you.  Mana said she doesn't need that kind of phone because she doesn't care if it talks to her or not.  I think she needs that kind of phone so I told her I would give her a $100 because she said it was a waste of money for her to have one like that.  She still said she didn't want one.  

I am going to help Mana cook and then I have to do my homework with Papa.  Did you know Chester (Mary's dog) went to live with Mary?  Now, I play with Jenny's cat.  She likes to chase bugs and chase the laser light Papa gave to me.  It's funny to watch.

Cub Scouts

Me and my Papa went to a cub scout meeting last Thursday and Papa buyed me all the uniform stuff.  I have cub scout meetings on Thursday nights at 6:00 p.m.  My Papa is going with me to the meetings too.  They said a parent has to come.  My club is called Tiger Cubs.  I have this cool orange and blue hat.  I get to earn patches.  I really like it.  I get to learn how to shoot a bow and arrow too.  I got this little handbook that tells me stuff to do and Mana has to sew my patches on my uniform. 

My grades...

So, on Friday, I have a vocabulary test, a spelling test and a math test.  On the second Friday of the month, I have to write a book report (in my own handwriting), and at the end of the month, I have to do an oral report in front of my class.  My vocabulary words from last week was abdomen, accelerate, abandon, absent, and absorb.  I had 10 spelling words and my bonus word was Mrs. Moody (my teacher's name).  I made a 'A++' on all my tests!  Papa and Mana was so proud of me!!  Mana telled me that when I make 12 'A's, Papa and Mana will take me bowling!  I love to go bowling!  I just need 9 more 'A's!!  

I taked my hamster to school last Friday too!  He runned in his wheel for a little while during math class - it was funny.  My other friends in their classroom (room #9) got to see him too.  He runned in their class too!  He's so cute!  You should see him.  He is light colored (cream) and has fluffy hair.  I like to pet him.  Each day, I give him food and me and Mana put him in his ball so he can run all around the house when I get home from school.  He runs in the bathroom and in my room and in the hall and sometimes he gets stuck under Mana's bed.  That's pretty funny.  When he's really quiet, Mana says I have to find him to make sure he didn't get out of his ball.  When he gets stuck, he makes poop on the floor - they are little poops.  Mana has to get the vacuum cleaner and suck it up.  Then, she has to wipe the floor.  I don't have to do that yet.  On Saturday, we have to clean out his cage acause it gets a little stinky.  We give him treats too - he likes zucchini and broccoli and sometimes a little piece of tomato.  

Sometimes I eat hot lunch at school.  On Friday, we have pizza at school and I LOVE cheese pizza.  Next week, Papa signed me up to get ice cream everyday after lunch.  We gotta see how that goes - Mana said if I eat my lunch and the ice cream, we can get ice cream again the next week.  It's a really big ice cream so I'm not sure if I can eat ALL the ice cream before it's time to go.  Last week, I was concerned about it and so I didn't want any last time.  

We cooked marshmallows last night in the fire pit - we have GIANT marshmallows (the size of 3 of the normal ones).  I love to burn mine.  But sometimes, I ask Papa to just make my giant marshmallow a little bit brown - and not burned.  It's really good both ways - which way do you like?

My first day at school...

Today was my first day at school - I'm a first grader now.  I go to Room # 8 and my teacher's name is Mrs. Moody.  In the summer time, she was the teacher that already taught me in the Bug Camp and the Creatures of the Sea Camp so I already know her.  Some of my friends aren't in my class room, they are in Room # 9.  I had homework tonight too.  I had to write out my spelling words, practice my numbers and practice knowing the definitions of some vocabulary words.  Want to know the words I had to practice on?  It was the words;  abdomen - that's your stomach, abandon - that's when you leave something, accelerate - that's when Papa drives faster, and absorb - that's like a sponge soaking up the water.  AND - we went to McDonald's to celebrate me going for my first day!  Mana is going to try to put my picture up so you can see what I looked like today.  I did NOT want my picture taken this morning, so I let her take my picture tonight.  That's my school shirt - and for four days I have to wear my school shirt and khaki shorts or pants and on Friday, I get to wear what I want to wear - not my uniform.  AND, on Friday's, that's the only day I want hot lunch because they have cheese pizza.  I like to bring my lunch from home better.  Tomorrow I will have a bologna sandwich, some oranges and a chocolate chip cookie in my lunch.  Do you know what you are having yet?  It was a good day.  I'm pretty tired because I played hard outside and I have to get up at 6:30 in the morning.  

I forgot something!  Did you know I have my own room now?  I'll tell you about it later.  I want to watch some TV before bed.  My room is blue (Panther's color) and I HAVE A HAMSTER named Rocky.

Good night!

Last week before school...

I only had to go to summer camp three days this week and then I had two days off (Thursday and Friday) because there's no summer camp left!!  Then, I have off four days and then real school starts.

On Thursday, I stayed home with my mom.  I don't know what we are did.  I wanted to get in the pool but we didn't do that. I played computer games and watched some TV.  Then, me and my mom baked some mint chocolate chip cookies.  They were really yummy!  I'll bring you some, okay?

On Friday, Mana didn't work and we went to the Children's Museum.  I got to play with lots of things and maked some fake money with my picture on it!  My bills were worth $1,000,000.00 each!  That's a lot of money.  When we were leaving, I telled Mana to please buy me a drink and she said I had big bills and that I could buy it. I said, "MANA, that's just fake money."  So, she buyed me a coke and some chicken nuggets.  You'd really like the Children's Museum.  They got this really tall, TALL boy inside that you can climb up in his brain and stomach and guts and slide down slides.  Inside, there's all these weird noises.  I played with so much stuff there - there's a water part with little boats, and a fire truck, and electricity, and a store, and a farm (you really get to milk a cow too - I squirted Mana!), and there's a market and big fake change and a bank and a cash register and musical instruments and lots and lots of stuff.  I didn't want to leave but we had to go pick up Papa from work and see Mary's new apartment. Did you know Mary has to go to school too?  She's still a kid too, you know.  That's why she is not a grown up - because she is still in school.

My Beach Week!!!

So, you know, I went to the beach for a whole week with my Grandpa, and Gaga, and Kyleigh and Annie and Brandy and Austyn and Jenny and I can't remember who else was there.  We had a GREAT time.  Wanna know what I did?  I did fun stuff like walked on the beach and collected shells and ate some pizza.  At night times, my Grandpa read me bedtime stories (and to Kyleigh and Austyn too).  We got to use our flashlights to look for crabs.  Have you ever done that?  Guess what?  Grandpa made this cool pulley thing on top of the deck so we could lower stuff to the beach on the bottom floor in a bucket.  I got lots of drinks that way.  I got to go to a movie with Grandpa and Austyn and Kyleigh too to see "Ice Age" again.  Then we had a family magic show.  I can do some cool magic tricks, did you know?  Grandpa and Gaga buyed me some tricks to do at home too.  I'm practicing.  I played a lot on my boogie board with Kyleigh and Austyn. I even went shoppine too and got some ice cream.  All week we watched some of the Olympics and it rained a little bit EVERY day.  I liked playing 'Froggy Dog' with everybody.  You ever played that?  I can show you how to play it next time I see you.  We built this big sandcastle with Uncle Eric too.  I got to catch minnows with this little net and we put them in the little pool.  I even got to play football with Uncle Joseph too.  I'm really good at football.  Another movie I got to see was "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" and ate lots of popcorn. Did you know my Grandpa tried to catch a shark so I could have the big jaw and teeth?!  He didn't catch a shark but he buyed me this shark jaw with sharp teeth in it and I taked it to school to show all my friends.  One day at the beach, we maked Brandy into a mermaid and covered her all up with sand.  I fed seagulls too - I gived them bread and popcorn.  All week I collected shells for Papa, and Mana, and my Mom.  I got a bag for each one of them.  

Here's some of my sayings during the week that Gaga wrote down because she thought you might like to know ~

'Anthony's Eyelashes'
Gaga:  "Anthony your eyes are so beautiful."
Anthony: "I have the most beautiful eyelashes in the world.:"
Anthony:  " My eyelashes are longer than God's!"

'Finding Shells for Mana'
Every shell that Anthony found - "Mana is going to love this one."

'Peaches for Papa'
Anthony looked at every peach in the grocery store to pick out 'perfect' peaches for Papa because "Papa really loves peaches."

Maybe next time you can go with us to the beach too!  I had a really good time!  Thanks for taking me to the beach Grandpa and Gaga and Mana says thanks so much for writing everything down!!

What I been doin'....

Yesterday was Saturday and I worked in the yard some with my Papa.  Me and Papa digged this big hole - it is for our fish pond.  The deep part comes up to my legs past my knees.  There is a morning zone and a night zone to the fish pond.  The morning zone is the shallow part where the fish go in the morning.  The night zone is the deep part where the fish go at night.

Did you know in 7 days I am going to the beach?  My Papa and Mana buyed me a suitcase with a handle and wheels.  It has baseball and sports on the suitcase.  I needed one when I go to the beach.

Today is Sunday and we watched a movie and played in the pool.  Tomorrow I get to make some tie dye shirts with my Mom because she is not working.

My picture of Daddy...

I taked a picture to school today to show my friends my Daddy. It's the one of me and Daddy in our hunting clothes.  We got orange hats.  I have growed up a lot acause I was little in that picture.  I'm much bigger and taller now.  I got big muscles.  I showed the picture of my Daddy to my friends and then Papa took the picture back home acause I don't want it to get broke - it has glass in it.  My one friend, Aaron liked the picture a lot.  I don't get to see my Daddy for a long time.  But I think my Daddy can see me and I know my Daddy loves me a lot!

What's your favorite animal?

My favorite animal is a hamster.  I woke up early this morning (Saturday) just to tell Mana that, while I was sleeping in her bed.  I said, " Mana!  Mana!"  and she said "What?"  and I said (in loud whisper) "What is your favorite animal?"  She said "a dog.  What's yours?".  And I said "A hamster".  Then, I went back to sleep again. 

What's your favorite animal?

How to build a Robot Dog...

(As told to Papa and Mana on the way to Summer Camp on Friday)
You get a long piece of metal and you cut some strips.  You glue the tail on the fat part of the dog on his body and you have to wiggle it some so it will be loose and can move.  Then you glue the pieces together for the dog's body.  After that, you need to put a robot head on the dog.  You cut the head out and then glue it on too.  The dog needs eyes and nose and mouth.  You can glue those on too.  You can pick if it's a happy mouth, a mad face mouth, or a surprise mouth.  I would pick a mad face.  Then, you have to paint the dog or glue fur on.  You can use any color paint you want.  But if you use paint, you can't put fur on too.  I would pick paint because then you'd have more choices in how it could look.  I would paint it white with black spots (like dalmatians) but you have to start with black paint first.  Then, you have your robot dog.  It can do tricks. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANNIE!

Today (Friday) is my Annie's birthday - did you know?  I don't know how old she is.  She might be 26 like my Daddy, but I didn't ask her that.  I hope she had a good day today!  Are you ready to sing to Annie with me?  Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Annie.  Happy Birthday to you!  And many more - on channel four! 

Last night we went to a Blowfish baseball game.  It started raining a lot and we had to sit under this big roof thing.  It was cool though because some people covered the field with this big plastic thing - they covered all the bases and the dirt.  Then after lots of rain came, the baseball players were out in their red and blue shorts and they were sliding across the top of the plastic thing on their stomachs.  It was cool.  It rained for a while (an hour) before they started playing baseball again. And, there was lightning and thunder too.  After that though there was this big rainbow and we could see the whole thing - where it started and ended.  I got to walk all around on the bleachers in the rain when it wasn't raining hard.  I went all the way down the steps to the bottom and then came all the way up to the top again.  There wasn't much people there for the game.  We ate at Sonic too and I had chicken and a milkshake. My Papa buyed me a Blowfish t-shirt so now I have a shirt and hat just like the baseball players.  I wanted to bring my bat for some of them to sign but we forgot to bring it.  Mana said next time we will.

It's really hot...

Hello, Everybody!  How are you doing?

Know what I'm doing?  I'm reading to my Papa right now!  I am reading a book my Grandpa and Gaga gave me - it's called Mouse Soup.  It's a funny story.  I like it better when Mana reads to me cause it's much faster.  The weasel in the story wants to make mouse soup with this little mouse he caught.  But the mouse is tricky and tells the weasel he needs some stories to make the soup taste good and that he needs bees and mud and crickets and when the weasel gets all that stuff and comes home, the mouse wasn't there acause he sneeked out while the weasel was looking for that stuff.  And the weasel has mud all over him and bee stings.  That's funny, right?!

My Mama buyed me some fake dog poop.  Mana said when my Mama was little, she had fake dog poop too.  I telled Mana we need to put it on Papa's pillow at night - shhh! that's a secret!  That will be funny, right?!  Don't tell, okay?

I'm going to get in my swimming pool in a little while. It's my swimming pool because Mana said everything here belongs to me, except I don't think her makeup belongs to me.  I don't want that.  But the couches, and food, and stuff and beds are all mine.  I have lots of stuff!

In the Fall, did you know, I get to go to the mountains again?  We are going to Yogi Bear campground again like we went last year.  And, we might can take Rhylee with us.  We might sleep in the loft but I don't know that yet.  

I have two fish left in my fishbowl.  When they die, it's okay because Papa said if they die, he will buy me a hamster.  I want a hamster and (another secret - don't tell) when I make wishes, it's for a hamster.  My rabbit (Robin) is doing good - he still lives outside next to the other rabbits.  The mama rabbit that we had died acause she got too hot - that's what Papa said.  So, now we have to wait until some other girl ones grow big so they can be a mama.  

It's been really hot here.  I know it's been really hot where you are too.  Maybe you need a pool!  When you have a pool, you can get cooled off.  Tomorrow night, I'm going to a baseball game again.  I'm going to take my bat so I can see if some baseball players can sign it for me.

I love you!

Camp day...

Today, I went back to my school to camp.  Next week is my 'Creatures of the Sea' camp where I get to learn about dolphins, and crabs, and sharks, and fish and that stuff.  I am excited to learn that stuff and I will tell you about what I learned next week.

Right now, me and Papa are out in the pool.  We were posed to do fireworks tonight but Papa said I got to go to bed early acause last night I was up until really late, and the night before that I didn't go to bed until 11:00 cause of the baseball game.  I'm not tired though.  Mana said I'd be grouchy this morning but I told her I wouldn't be (but I was a little bit and my head hurt too).  

I'm eating corn on the cob tonight.  My three tooths at the top are loose but I can still eat my corn.  You just bite it on the side.  Do you know how to do that?  

It's 99 degrees outside.  It's been really hot.  I know it's been really hot where you live too cause I talk to Brandy and she said so.  They go swimming lots like me.  Brandy and Austyn want to come swimming in my pool with me.  They can come.  You can come too.  We got some floats.  If there's not much room, we can take turns getting in the pool.  Papa can cook some stuff on the grill too.  

Bye!

Happy 4th!!

So, what are you doing today on July 4th?  I am having a cook out at my house.  Cherie, and Brad, and Rhylee, and Braden, and Gram, and Granddad, and my Papa, and my Mana, and Mary and Jenny are here.  My Mom had to work today.  But tonight, she's going to take me to a fair and watch fireworks!  

Did you know I went to a baseball game yesterday?  It was the Blowfish.  We went with everybody to the game and ate peanuts and snacks and had gatorade.  At night, they had really big fireworks and some music.  It was so cool!  Know what else?!  Papa got us seats next to the dugout and after the game, one of the baseball players signed my shirt for me.  His name is Fredrico and he is from Italy and he is going to college somewhere around here.  Cool, right?  I didn't have a ball for him to sign, but Papa said that next time we come, I can bring my Blowfish ball and ask somebody to sign it for me.  We all weared flag t-shirts to the game and we matched each other.  I had a blue shirt.  Mana buyed red ones, blue ones and white ones and they all had our flag on the shirt.  Mana took some pictures so maybe she'll put one up for you to see what we looked like.

I swimmed in the pool yesterday too.  We had a great time!  I knowed my Daddy could see the fireworks and my Daddy loves me very much.

Mary's car...

Hey, everybody!  I want to tell you about Mary's new car!  It's red!  It's the color I telled her to buy.  It has just two doors but people can sit in the back too.  Know what else?  It has a sunroof that you push a button and it opens.  It's seriously cool - I telled Mary it looks like Batman's car - but it is red.  The name of the car is an Infiniti.  Do you know what it looks like?  Mary is going to take me for a ride in it soon.  She got a new car because she wrecked her last one a little while ago.  Bye!

My day...

I'm having a really good day!!  Are you?  Today is Saturday.  Last night after my gymnastics camp was over, my Papa picked me up and picked up my friend, Aaron to spend the night with me.  Did you know that my Papa set up a tent in our house so me and Aaron could sleep in it?!  It was really cool.  We ate Pizza and played with toys and taked a bath and then went to sleep in the tent.  I told Mana she had to stay in there with me all night.  And, you know what she did?!  She went out after I was sleeping!! I woked up in the night and she wasn't there.  I was pretty upset with her but it was okay.  This morning, we had to get up early because me and Mana had haircuts at 8:00!  My hair is really short again and I think it looks really cool.  After the haircuts, we had to get some groceries and then back home.  We ate lunch and then we all got in the pool.  Mary and Mana just laid on floats, but Papa was the pirate and me and Aaron were on our boat (float) and the pirate spinned us all around and up and down and flipped us and bumped us.  We laughed and laughed.  Me and Aaron did lots of jumping off the ladder onto our boat.  You remember, I'm a really good swimmer, right?  I love to swim.  My friend, Aaron doesn't know how to swim yet.  But I do!

We are playing football on the XBox right now.  Papa is going to take Aaron home in about 10 minutes.  Then, I gotta help Papa outside in the yard some with some plants or something.  Tonight, I'm gonna help Mana make some cheeseburgers for dinner.  I got a lot of sun outside but I wasn't out there for a long time.  I weared sun block too.  I love you!

Hey!

Did you k now I'm doing really COOL stuff?!  This week I am going to bug camp (insect camp) at my school for part of the day.  We learn about lots of different bugs and make stuff too.  Yesterday, I maked this big butterfly and Mana hung it up by the back door.  Then, after lunch, I am going to my gymnastics class!  It is so much fun!  Yesterday was the first day of my gymnastics camp and my Papa stayed with me the whole time (from 1:00 - 5:00)!  Papa watched me do the parachute, and jump in this big big pit, and walk on the balance beam.  I got to somersault and jump on the trampoline too.  Then, I painted this wooden picture frame.  Today, my Mom took me and she stayed for 1 hour and watched me.  I'm at home now and eating pizza.  I still got three days left of bug camp and gymnastics camp left!  

In a couple weeks, Papa said I am signed up to do an ocean camp to learn about sharks and dolphins and crabs and shrimp and fish.  That camp is at my school too.  


I am thinking I might like to do boy scouts.  They have boy scouts at my school and there's a thing like boy scouts at my church too.  Papa can come with me to the church boy scouts because it will be on Wednesday nights after school is done.  He can't come with me to my school boy scouts though because that's sometime in the day and Papa will be at work.

All my animals here are good.  My ducks don't fly away anymore because Papa clipped their wings, remember?  Did you know I have a boy duck and 3 girl ducks?  I know I have a boy duck because his head is green.  The ducks are called mallard ducks.  They are in the same big pen with the chickens and nobody bothers each other.  The bees are down there too, but nothing gets stinged.  

I was sitting with Mana in the pool last Saturday and we watched a honey bee land on the float and drink water.  It was really close to us.  I was a little nervous but the bee doesn't bother you.  It just wants water to drink.  A few bees fell in the pool and I used the noodle to rescue them.  I swimmed over to them with the noodle and put the noodle close to them, and they climbed up on it and rested for a minute.  Then, they flied away.  

Bye!

Thursday

I go to camp, you know?  I fell down today in the water thing and got lots of scratches.  My teacher had to put three bandaids on my leg and foot!  

I ate Chinese food tonight - with rice and chicken and brocolli.  I like the little cookies that come with it.  My fortune said "You will travel with the person of your dreams".  Mary asked me who was the person of my dreams ~ it's my DADDY!  Did you know I have dreams about my Daddy?  They are always very good dreams.  In my dreams, me and my Daddy always go hunting together.  We hunt animals for food.  My Grandpa said one day he will give me my Daddy's knife.  My Grandpa gived me my Daddy's BB gun already.  It has a scope.  

I love you.

What's been happening...

Hello everybody!  I go to camp everyday.  At camp I play all the time and no home work for the whole summer.  At camp, I read books, and do puzzles, and watch movies, and play in the spray pool - it's kind of like a sprinkler with a pole.  I play on the playground too.  And you get behavior books and I'm almost going to get my first one!  I already have two!  You have to win the behavior books.  You gets lots of good behavior cards and then when you get lots, you get a book.  There's some different kids in my class too.  Did you know I'm going to be in first grade?  Lilah is a new kid, and Aaron is a new kid and I like all them.  

Today I got to go bowling.  It was lots of fun and I got a spare!  Not a strike - just a spare.  Do you know what that is?  A spare is like when you get all of the pins knocked down when you just roll two times is all.  Have you ever got one of those?  If you don't knock them all down, you don't get a spare.  You get nothing.  

I'm going to eat pizza tonight for dinner and I ate a sour patch kids popsicle a little while ago.  Do you like sour stuff?  I love it!

I don't have to go to my  camp tomorrow because my mom is off of work.  I'm supposed to go to the park with her.  I'll get to sleep in really late in the morning too.

Bye!

My Graduation

Today was my Kindergarten Graduation.  I had a blue cap and big blue gown that went over my clothes.  I had a white sash that said 2012.  Did you know I'm finished now, and get to go into first grade?  I had a bunch of songs to sing with my class.  I did good with singing too.  Then, they called eveybody's names one at a time to walk across the stage and get their diploma.  After all that, Papa took us to Zesto's for ice cream!  I got chocolate ice cream with sprinkles.  Everybody was there ~ Papa, and me, and Mana, and Mary, and Jenny, and my Momma.  Papa did the video camera because there's no card for our camera right now.  Papa will fix the video so you can watch me sing some songs, okay?

I fell asleep on the way home because I was so tired.  Did you know I have a fat ankle today?  It's because yesterday I got bit by something and it was swole up a little bit.  Sometimes, I can hardly walk and then somebody has to carry me.  

I'm watching a movie right now with Mary.  I went swimming today for a little while again with Papa.  I have 4 more days left of school and then I start summer school.  There's some cool camps I get to go to too!  There's this ocean camp that teaches about fish, and sharks, and dolphins; and then there's a bug camp where you learn all about bugs.  

Know something I really like right now?  I really like detective stuff.  I like the Spy Kids movies and Mana found this cool website with all these cool detective online games to play.  I have to find and hide clues and use tools to find the diamond.  I won one of the games and got a detective card that Mana printed for me with my name on it!  How cool is that?!

Did you know I'm coming to Virginia next week?  I will see you soon.  I love you!

Fixin' stuff...

Guess what me and my Papa are doing?  We had to cut a pipe loose in the basement so that Papa could fix the water line outside and have water come to the new water spouts by the garden.  Then, I had to hold Papa's tools because he's doing stuff.  I got to hold this big cutter thing too.  Next, Papa did some fixin' under the house too.  He's got a small leak in the pipe that he couldn't fix yet.  We have to get some other parts for it.  It was cool.  I can fix stuff like that too!  

After that, me and Papa got in the pool - but just for a minute because it was still kind of cold (72).  Mana still won't get in the pool!

Sunday, May 13, 2012

Happy Mother's Day

Today is Mother's Day.  I maked this card and bag for my mom.  We gived Mana a cool chair that lays back and I got to talk to some people today too and telled them Happy Mother's Day.  After that, I helped Papa cook some food, and then we went to Gram's and Granddad's house to eat with them.  I took my game boy and my kindle fire to play with there.  Gram and Mary and Mana played Bingo with me and Apples to Apples.  Those are two games I like to play.  I win most of the time, did you know?  Now, I'm back home and watching a movie.  It's close to bed now though so Mana needs to stop being on the computer and lay down with me.  Good night Everybody ~  I will see you in a few days, okay? 

I was in a boat...

Today, (Saturday) we got to float in our boat in the river!  Me and Papa and Mana was in the boat, and Mary and Jenny was in their big yellow inner tubes.  Their tubes was tied to our boat.  It took us a while to go from the place we got in, to the place we got out of the boat.  I got to help Papa paddle some too.  And, I climbed in Jenny's tube with her and Papa and me splashed Mary some.  It was cloudy and Mary said it was cold.  We had a good time and I can't wait to go again.  Papa said the water was up really high because he didn't have to paddle the boat around any rocks like he had to do last time.  We went through this lock thing too but there was no rapids because the water was too high.  There's this wall thing you can stand on at the lock and jump into the water but we didn't do that this time.  Jenny said she would do it next time with me when it was sunny and hot outside.  I have this cool life jacket with space ships on it.  Papa had to buy me this new one, because remember, the other one was too small!

Did you know I'm so strong?!!

I'm really, strong, did you know?  Today, I carried a bag of dog food from Mana's car, up the steps and to the back porch for Mary and her dog Chester.  Do you know how much it weighed?  It weighed 25 POUNDS!  I'm strong, right?  Did you know that I weigh 47 pounds too? 

Monday, May 7, 2012

My day

Hey!  I had a good day but I don't know why.  Mana asked me and I said I don't know.  Do you do that too?  Anyway, guess what me and my Papa are doing outside right now?!!  Papa pulled out his boat - you put air in it and it holds 5 people!  Do you have a boat like that?  We got some huge inner tubes too that are yellow.  Papa and me are checking to make sure the boat looks like it's in good shape.  We get to float on the river on Saturday!  We are going to take a picnic lunch too.  Jenny and Mary can't ride in the boat with us - they have to be in their own inner tubes.  There's a little bit of rapids too!  I'm excited to go.  Only Papa, and me, and Mana are going in Papa's boat.  We don't go fishing.  We just sit in the boat and ride.  Last time (two years ago) when I got bored, I would get out and swim to somebody else's inner tube.  You should see how funny I look right now!  Papa put on me this life jacket that's a swimiming suit too (size 4) and it's really tight on my arms.  Mana said she'd buy me another life jacket this week but I think I'm good.  Papa had to peel it off me like a banana!  

I've been practicing for my graduation, did you know?  I am singing two songs with my group and one is called Yankee Doodle.  Do you know that song already?  I got a poem I'm 'posed to say too.  I've been practicing with my class.  

Did you know I'm coming to Virginia really soon?  It's just some days left before I come.  I get to see everybody!  I have a baseball game again on Thursday night and we get to bring snack again. 

Sunday, May 6, 2012

I went to a festival!

On Saturday, my Mom took me to the Crawfish Festival.  I ate a turkey drumstick, and a crawfish, and corn, and jumbalai, and some gatorade and frozen strawberry lemonade, and potatoes.  I got to play on a bouncy house, and I rided on little boxes that spinned around, and I rided on swings too - all with my friend Landen.  I did a obstacle course thing too.   It was a lot of fun but I felt like I was going to frow (throw) up on the spinning box cars and I thought my left flip flop was going to fly off but it didn't.  Me and Mom were gone all day and then we went to dinner too.  At dinner, I had a burger, and mashed potatoes and a drink.  

Today, I got to help Papa with some planting stuff and helped Mana water.  Me and Papa got in the pool.  Jenny was supposed to but she said no because the sun wasn't shining really bright.  The temperature was 80 degrees today.  It rained really good last night.  Did you get some rain too? 

Hey Grandpa and Gaga ~ you remember that dinosaur egg that you gived to me that I had to put in water to watch it come out?  Well, guess what happened?!  It came out some and I had to crack the shell so the rest of it could come out.  It's a teenage dinosaur - it's not a baby or little kid dinosaur.  I took it to school to show my friends and they thought it was really cool.

I catched some little grasshoppers today to feed to the chickens.  The chickens acted funny because when they would peck at it, the grasshopper would jump!  My ducks are really big too and they like to play in their little swimming pool.  They jump in and out and go under the water and flap their wings and splash all over the place.  

I love you!

YAY! It's Friday!

You see that picture of me in that go-cart?  My hair doesn't look like that anymore because I got a really cool hair cut!  It's short, but not really short like when my Daddy cut my hair.  You'd like it though.

I had a good school day.  When I got home, me and Papa got in the pool together while Mana cooked dinner.  You know what she's making?  It's one of my favorite things - mac and cheese!!  

I'm still playing baseball.  I played last night!  I got two good hits and when I played on first base, I got this boy out!!  My daddy would be really proud, right?

Yesterday me and Momma played in the pool with my friend Landen and his momma.  I had a great time.  It's time to eat now, so bye!  Tomorrow, me and Papa are going to play in the pool again!

My day...

Hi everybody!  How was your day?  Mana says that's nice to ask people how their day was.  My day was good.  My Mom picked me up from school and then at home, we swimmed in our pool!  The water is warm now (83 degrees)!  Some days ago, I got in the pool and it was 68 - Mana only said I could stay in there for 15 minutes.  Then, a few days after that when I got in, it was 72 degrees.  Papa came in the pool then but Mana still won't come.  I'm glad the pool is warm now.  It was fun swimming.  I'm watching a Spy Kids movie now - do you like those movies?  I like to watch them.  

Did you know my Papa turned 50 years old?!  We had a party last Saturday and Cherie and Brad and Braeden and Rhylee and Gram and Granddad and Kristin came to his party.  He got some cool presents too.  

I'm happy about summer coming.  But, I still have to go to my school.  But one week, I get to do gymnastics for 5 days!  Papa said I will really like it.  I went to the gymnastics place one time for Syna's (classmate) birthday - that was a lot of fun.  I get to go to the beach in the summer too with my Grandpa and Gaga.

Kristin came to visit us too.  Me and Kristin played games and we watched movies together.  

My two teeth are growing in from the ones I lost.  I got a silver dollar for the second tooth that came out (I think I told you that already).

School is almost over.  My graduation is on May 20th and Mana said she will put up pictures.  My last day of kindergarten is May 25th!  I'm big because I'm going into first grade!  Did you know I get to go to my school again next year?  I really like my school.  And, I got lots of friends too. 

I love you.  Bye!

At School...

This week at school, I've been doing testing all week.  Every day I have to do some tests and then I get to play outside for a while while other kids are doing the tests.  I don't remember what tests I'm doing but my teacher said I'm doing really good.  I'm still reading too, you know.  I had a baseball game on Tuesday night and I got a baseball game to go to on Friday.  Last night we went to Coleman's baseball game.  It was cool to watch the big kids play.  Coleman plays really good.

I'm watching some TV now and eating ice cream.  Do you like ice cream?  Me too!  I don't like ice cream sandwiches though.  Did you know Mana is the boss?  She's the boss of Papa too.  I telled Mana she was the boss of Papa and Mana said she wasn't but I knowed she is.  Right?

I love you!

At Frankie's Fun Park!



This day we all went to Frankie's Fun Park for my birthday!!  We was supposed to have a party there last week but another boy in my class had a birthday there the same time we were going to do it, so I just went to his party instead.  His name is James.  It was great!  But today, me and Rhylee and my friend Aaron, and Braeden, and Papa, and Mana, and Mary, and Coleman and Cherie all went to Frankie's.  It was so cool!!  Me and my friend Aaron played in this big fun house thing with ropes and swings and slides.  Then we played air hockey.  Next, we went outside and we rode the bumper boats.  Me and Aaron catched Mana and Rhylee in their boat and sprayed them with water.  That's funny, right?  After that we rode this drop thing - it has lots of seats and goes up slow, and then drops you down fast.  It made us laugh.  Coleman rode it with me and Aaron the first time, and then we rided by ourselves.  Then, we ate some pizza and then me and Aaron and Rhylee rode the go carts for kids.  It was so much fun - I was a really fast rider.  After that, it was time to go home.  Rhylee and Braeden and Cherie went back home to their house and me and Aaron went to my house.  We played in the pool for 15 minutes (temperature was 72!), then we played with Chester in the back of Papa's truck, and then we got to shoot the bb gun with  Papa at the target.  Finally, we came inside and taked a bath and ate dinner, and now, me and Aaron are playing Star Wars on the TV.  We have special chairs we are sitting in too - Aaron is sitting in the Sponge Bob chair from Grandpa and Gaga, and I'm sitting in the chair from my other friend Landon - he gived me this black gaming chair.  It rocks too.  

Thank you so much for all my presents I got for my birthday too!  I love everything!  I love everybody too!  I will see you very soon, okay?  Bye!!

My Fun Day at School

Today, at my school, we had a Fun Day!  Do you know what a Fun Day is?  It's when you get to go on rides at your school and eat pop corn and cotton candy and play on the bouncy house!  Papa comed to me school too to help my class.  Mana was supposed to come but she had to go to her long work instead.  It's okay though.  After my Fun Day, my Momma picked me up and took me back home and I got to play with Rhylee and Braeden.  Me and Rhylee played outside for a long time but we didn't go in the swimming pool.  I really had a great day today!  I told Mana it was the 'best day ever'.

It's my birthday today!


Hello my people!  Did you know ~ I am 6 years old today!!  See all my candles?!  I blowed them out with one time blowing.  You know what I wished for?  Can you not tell anybody?  I wished for a hamster.  I telled Jenny, but that was all.  No one else, okay?  If you tell somebody else, the wish might not come true.  My last wish was for a guinea pig.  I had a great day today.  My Momma picked me up in car pool and then I comed home and played.  Then, I opened my presents with Papa and Jenny and Mana and we played three games!  One of my presents was this funny game called Headbanz - it's great because you get to wear this blue headband thing and it holds a card in it and you have to guess what you are before the little timer runs out of sand.  We looked pretty funny - but my Papa said he looked cool.  He didn't really.  I got lots of presents for my birthday!  When I was visiting in Virginia, My Grandpa and My Gaga got me this game boy with a game and a baseball bag that holds my bats and gloves and baseballs, and I even have one of my daddy's baseball bats!  Momma Brandy got me this cool big soccer goal.   I've played with it lots in the yard.  But Chester keeps chasing the soccer ball when I kick it!  Today, I got more stuff too.  I got mail from my Nannie and Papa and $50.00!!  I'm really rich now!  Then, I got that game I was telling you about that we played and then I got a new game for my gameboy too.  My Momma will have my present tomorrow.  She said it's really special too.  From my Granddad and Gram I got this really cool cash register.  Me and Jenny played store with it a long time.  Everything was great.  Thank you for all my stuff.  I love you.  Bye!
