Day Camp

Last week we went to visit the DeyArmins. We went to day camp at Shilo while we were there. We brought down the Erikson's trailer, and slept in it. At day camp we learned about the bible, and made up motions to go with it. The journey through the Bible went like this: Creation, Fall, Flood, Israel, Law, Judges, Kings, Prophets, Christ, Pentecost, Church, Persecution, Us, Rapture, Tribulation, Eternity. We made a map of that on the last day. It was really fun! Me and Elijah were put on the same team, orange team. At pool time, my goal was to protect the torpedoes for Little Bit, my friend at camp. Her real name is Elizabeth, but everyone calls her Little Bit. On orange team there were only 3 girls, the rest boys. The girls were Eliana, Little Bit and I. Camp started at 9 am. and ended at 4pm. I loved it a lot!

My Food Poem

Food is delicious, food is great. I don't  really like a great big steak. Almost all food is delicious, but not all of it is  nutritious. Most sweets are good, really delicious treats. They don't make you good and strong, just save that for the vegetable song. I like most vegetables salted and cooked. Vegetables are good, I'm really hooked. Broccoli is my favorite, I really like to savor it. I really like, though a nice bowl of peas. Pass them over, if you please! Cupcakes are really also really yummy, they are good to my tummy. Frosting though, is not very good. To you, though, taste good it should. I really like sometimes you see, a nice drink of milk, and a cookie. Pie is good, or so I say. I think you should eat it every day.

Awana Awards night

''Awana awards night is almost here! It is my favorite Awana night of the year! We go on stage and get announced, and sometimes our names get mispronounced.'' On Awards night all the kids in Awana get to go on stage and get the prizes that they earned that year. For instance, if you were in cubbies, your first year, you would get your cubbie hopper book diploma. If you were in you second year of sparks, you would get a blue ribbon and a certificate.

Jasper The Architect

My little brother Jasper loves to build. He usually builds with blocks, and can build a massive temple with them in 3 minutes. Because of little siblings, knees and elbows, every time he builds something, it is destroyed in 3 seconds. So, because of that, he has to rebuild his things 3,4, or 5 times before he can show them to Mama. Sometimes he will build churches,  (Note, all of the pictures are below the labels, please do not be confused.)

sometimes he builds temples,

once he built a ramp with a trap!

This is the death tower, as he calls it.

This is the smasher. 

This is a compass. 

 This is a giant hand watch.

I taught him how to make a train, and he caught on right away! A little while farther in this post and you will see his passenger train. 

 This is his pirate shaped steering wheel.

 This is the un-leaning tower of pisa.

This is the China Temple.

 This, as he calls it, is called Bible story.

This is the triangle.

And of course, this is the sundial on the wall.

Don't forget his nunchucks!

And this is his passenger train.

This is the sun tower. 

The double pig trough is also cool. I had him build some thin with only 8 blocks, instead of using the whole box.

This is a movie of him building something. Don't watch it because it doesent work. 

My Fashion

I have my own fashion.  I  like it, and wear it every day, unless I am wake boarding or skiing. In it I wear lots of skirts. My getting dressed goes something like this: Take off pjs. Put on a tank top.  Put on clean underwear. Put on pants and skirt # 1, the longest. Then skirt # 2, that only lets skirt #1 show an inch. Then skirt # 3, 4 and so on. My record of skirt wearing is 12 skirts at a time. Usually they go higher then my waist, but usually they only go up to my waist. I have 3 drawers over flowing with skirts. I can barely close them! One of my skirts, the longest and my favorite, is all brown and brushes the floor when I walk. When I wear my heelys with that skirt, you can't see my heelys so it looks like I'm a ghost hovering over the floor. Eben calls that my ghost costume.

Easter

Easter is always fun. Everyone hides Easter eggs full of candy for kids to find. Kids eat lots of candy, start feeling sick, but keep eating more candy.

Easter got her name from a roman goddess, named Eostre.You pronounce that Estie. She was said to send bunnies to deliver eggs to the people. That is how the easter bunny got started. We have changed Eostre's name to Easter.

 If you are a Christian call Easter Resurrection Sunday! Not Easter!

 Because of this myth parents go out and hide eggs for their kids to find. Then the kids find them, and eat the tasty treats inside them. On Resurrection Sunday, my siblings and I take turns hiding plastic candy filled eggs around the yard, after we have found the ones Mama hides for us to find. We also find the big Resurrection basket, and eat the goodies in there, too. Grandma and Grandpa also come over, and last year Grandpa hid eggs filled with pennies. Pella found most of them. Resurrection Sunday is almost here, so get ready!

Opal's flower fiesta

This year for Opal's birthday party she decided to have a flower fiesta. Mama bought her a big beautiful dress, but it was too big so Opal said I could wear it for a Mexican dance Eben and I did. For her party, Opal didn't want a cake, but cookies. She wanted gigantic cookies all stacked on top of one another. The flavors from bottom to top were Strawberry lemonade, a giant snicker doodle, then a oatmeal cookie on top with the Mexican flag and on top of that was a pink flower and the words,' Happy Birthday Opal !' In purple frosting.  She also had a piñata, shaped like a flower, and it was the same rules as always, youngest first. I didn't break it open, but instead hit my pelvis. It hurt. I can still feel it, and that was1 and a half weeks ago. It took about 3 rounds of hitting the piñata  before it finally broke open. It was filled with tootsie rolls and 2 tootsie pops.  Then she opened presents. Opal had lots of presents. Here are some things she got, to name a few: a balloon, some linking jewelry, 3 bags of bubble gum, clothes and markers. We had fun and Opal loved it. For food we had enchiladas,  quesadillas and refried beans. For drinks we had horchata and lots of other Mexican drinks. We also had water. Opal invited just the right amount of people, which we thought was too less. She made up a very fun party and helped with the clean up.
