Disneyland

2009-03-15T22:46:00.000-07:00

Disneyland rocked. The Buzz Light Year and Toy Story shooting games were the best. I did not enjoy the scary ride. The Tower of Terror made my legs shiver. The fireworks were amazing.

Legoland

2009-03-13T22:03:00.000-07:00

Dad and I spent the entire day at Legoland. We had lots of fun on all the rides. My favorite rides were the water ones. The log ride was great and Dad was soaked. Everything was made of Legos, even the animals.

Going to Disney Land

2009-03-07T22:45:00.001-08:00

I am on Cycle Break!!! for the month of March. We played Wii today and then went out with Emmy to Bowl. Now, I am packing to go to California on my second airplane ride. I am very excited to play in the ocean, see Uncle Craig, and check out Disney.

Definition of Cool

2009-02-15T22:27:00.000-08:00

Kyle and I (Melissa) learned the definition of what Parker thought was cool. We had to go buy white shirts today. He dressed it up with a necklace, jeans, black jacket, and spiked hair.

Dam

We have had a GREAT winter. This year we have had so much fun with crafts and playing in the eight inches of snow. I even saw 45 Eagles in Illinois along the Great River Road.

Columbia YouZeum

2009-02-08T20:34:00.000-08:00

We went to Columbia for my friend Lydia's birthday. We played Wii, colored, painted, and played hide and seek at her house all night long. Then Pops and Emmy took us to the YouZeum after a great buffet at the Riverboat. We learned about eating the Rainbow, I dissected a pig's heart! and checked my memory skills. So, here are some pictures.

Halloween

2008-11-03T11:45:00.003-08:00

Me and Xavier dress as dinosaurs on Halloween. I went to the pumpkin patch. We went to the zoo before halloween. My family ate at Fitzs and had ice cream floats. I played games at church. I saw fish at the Japense garden. I played in the water at the botanical garden.

I lost a Tooth

2008-09-15T11:38:00.001-07:00

I lost my first tooth at choir. I was eating a cookie when it fell out. My teacher wrapped it up and put it in a cup. I carefully brought it home to show my parents. I asked them to make sure the dog did not knock the cup over while I went to the bathroom. Of course they did not pay attention, and the dog knocked the cup over and we lost my tooth. But my dad searched the floor all night for it and found it. He put it in my pillow for me. That night the tooth fairy gave me $1 to reward me for keeping my teeth so clean!

School started in July!

2008-08-07T14:59:00.001-07:00

I am back in school (year round) for Senior Kindergarten. We have a few 3 week vacations throughout the year. So far I really like riding the bus! I am a picky eater but have found something I like to eat every day at the cafeteria.

Each morning my alarm goes off at 7:00. I get up and dress myself and eat breakfast. Then I head to the bus stop, which happens to be at the end or our driveway, and ride to school at 8:00.

The first couple of weeks we have reviewed our colors. I can now spell and read the words for colors. I am also reading a book by myself every school night. Last night I read Green Eggs and Ham. It was the first book I've read that I did not enjoy - it wasn't very funny.

I also earned a certificate for being able to count to 100!

Easter in TN

2008-03-29T18:17:00.001-07:00

We went to church. I got to hunt for Easter eggs. I found 21 eggs.
After we ate, me and mommy took a picture of me. Then we played on the playground after the picture.
We took pictures when we got back from church. This is the picture of me and Xavier together. And Xavier looked at the camera.
After pictures I threw the Frisbee.
Me and Craig Alan took a picture together. We wanted to see who was the best looking.

Guitar and Choir

2008-03-05T14:35:00.000-08:00

I have a concert tonight in front of the church. And I can play Twinkle Twinkle on the Guitar.

Kindergarten

2008-03-05T14:25:00.000-08:00

When I get to school we work on papers. Then we sit on the carpet to learn what we will do today, calendar. Then we have computer (half read books then they switch) or PE. We get snacks. We have centers every day. We play, green means we come where the white top lid is. We sit on the carpet and we talk about our paper work. We come back and learn about the letter people. Then it is time for math then sit on the carpet for Jesus Time before we say goodbye.

When we have our back packs on and are all in line we get to go outside.

My favorite thing is centers. My best friends are Konner, Charlie, and Bryce. I have never been on the the yellow or red light. I get free books everytime I read 100 books.

And one day me and Carly, in center, made a trap for the lego guys but it didn't really make a trap because it went on the other side.

Turning the big O-5

2008-03-05T14:20:00.000-08:00

It was a pool party (St. Peters Rex Plex). And I had a cool birthday cake. And there were cool (arcade) games we played. And we had cake and opened presents at the same time. Then we went in the pool and I had a lot of fun. Josh G. went around in the water circles (whirlpool) and I tried it too. We stood up and ran and the pool guys in charge said "get down". Then it was time to go bye bye.

We are converting the personal sites to blog sites. Hopefully the boys can then manage their own information.
