A Berg Story by: Kivi

This is a made up story about Berg, my little brother. '' Once upon a time, Berg was taking a nap. Then, he needed a sip of water. Berg:'' I am going to go get a sip of water. La la la la la. Hey Mama? I need a sip of water.'' Mama: Sure but your water cup is in the car.'' '' Berg: Ok! I will be right back. Hmm. Oh, there is my water. Hey, I see the drivers seat! I am going to try it out. This is fun! Hey, what does this pedal do? Ahhhhhhh! I am driving! Wait a minute, this isn't our van. This is a pizza truck! Look, there is the pizza delivery guy! He is waving to me! Hi, can I borrow your pizza truck? To late! Now, how does this thing work? Oh, maybe this weight goes on the pedal. Wow, this goes fast. Now, pizza time.'' After eating 3 pizzas… '' Oh boy, I am stuffed. Hey there is the church! Eben is at Awana! I'll go ask him how to get home. Ok, so I turn in to the church parking lot, and then I park into that cement thing.

LC3 Family Reunion

This year at family reunion, Mama and Dada were the people that dress up and act in front of the church. This was my second time going to camp. LC3 reunion was at black lake bible camp. Every one at church could come if they wanted to, and there were lots of places to stay. We stayed in the lake house. Because Mama and Dada were usually busy, we were allowed to wander around the camp during break time. There were 2 carpet ball places, and one none of the other kids knew about, and was right in front of our cabin. Camp was really fun. In the morning and at night all of the kids went to kids club, and the adults went to church. I went to kids club the first night, and for the rest of camp I helped in toddlers club. There was one baby at toddlers club, his name was Kaid. Me and Bethlehem took turns holding him. On the last day, there were skits. I got to be in one! It was the only one with all kids acting. It was called the ambulance scene. In it, Brendan came on stage and said ''I think I am going to die.'' and then he falls on the floor. Then, Bethlehem and I come out and say,'' I think he is dead.'' Then I call 911 on my fingers and Megan comes in, caring Tarah on her back going ''we or, we or, we or.'' Then Meagan rolls him over and says that he is dead. Then Olivia says ''cut, cut! I am trying to make a skit!'' and then we repeat it over and over. The next time we did it all laughing, and then really dramatic and then Olivia told us to combine them together. Finally, at the end, she yelled''I give up!'' and threw down her clipboard. Also on the last day, I got to go on the blob! The blob is a gigantic plastic pillow. You jump on it from about 20 feet, crawl to the end, and then have someone launch you into the air and land in the water. Oh yea, Mama and Dada also made up games for us to do in the field. There were also minuet to win it games. This years theme was the amazing race. I loved it!

Baby Bear

Baby Bear is not born yet. We do not know if it is a boy or a girl. Opal and Pella think it will be a girl. Eben, Jasper and Berg think it will be a boy. I am still debating. Baby bear is 5 and a half months old. I will call Baby bear a boy for this blog. We heard about him on mothers day, at Sea side Oregon.  Now we always kiss him goodnight, and are hugging him and kissing him though out the day. Baby Bear is going to be my 7th sibling! We have all been wanting a new sibling since Pella was declared a toddler. With Pella, me and Eben were both debating, and we wanted separate genders. Eben said that he was going to teach her all about being a boy. We all talked to Pella a lot when she was still in Mama's tummy. I talked to her the most, and now at night she cries "Kivi" when she needs something. I really want baby bear to be a girl, but that would ruin our pattern.

Camping at the dairy farm

Last weekend we went to the Vanderpol's uncle's farm. We went there because Mama wanted to see a calf be born. We camped out on their aunt's backyard, which was within walking distance to the cows and calves. The pregnant cows were within a 5 minute driving distance, so that it was quieter for them. We stayed for a day and a half. There were 5 calves born while we were there, but we only got to see 3. The first calf took about an hour, but was a girl and was healthy.

Two of the calves were bulls, and since it was a dairy farm, they had to go to a special pen where another calf already was so that they could be sold. The last two were twin girls, and were backwards. Mama got to pull the second one out! But, they were both dead. Only Mama, Mr. Vanderpol, Eben, Julia, Jasper, Simeon, Malachi, and I got to see the twins. While we were there, we also got to see them make cows pregnant, and we got to go in the pregnant cow pen, and the going-to-be-pregnant pen! We also got to bottle feed the calves.

 It was really fun (and sad)!
