Happy Birthday Maverick!

The day before yesterday was Maverick's birthday! We had donuts and chocolate milk for breakfast. After that we got ready and went to church. Then we went to Main Event to go bowling! Maverick got a strike on his very first turn! I didn't do so well. I only got 2 spares. Gram made a R2-D2 cake. It was cool! I got Maverick some Star Wars books, Faith got him a chainsaw, Kannon got him a Spiderman car, Mom got him some cloths, Miss Chris and Mister John got him the Maverick Nerf gun and some holiday Hot Wheels cars, Gram and Pappy got him a remote control R2-D2, and Daddy got him a skateboard and a helmet. Then we had cake. I wasn't feeling very good and when I had my second piece of cake, I felt even worse. Then we played another game of bowling were Kannon won and I was in second. Then we went home and played. It was a happy day! :)

Funny Things, Weird Things, Etc. Vol. 6

I have more funny things, weird things, etc. for you! Here we go......


.......Once Maverick was drinking some juice and he laughed and it went down his throat and then he coughed and it came back out of his mouth AND his nose! It made his nose sore. It's funny that it came out of his nose, but it's not funny it made his nose sore.



.......Faith started to walk at 9 months! This was amazing, but unfortunately it made her leg funny. She had to wear a brace on her leg for a while to fix it. Part of it had butterflies on it. :) She was really good with it. She even learned how to take it off!



.......I taught myself how to read when I was 3 years old. It's amazing, isn't it? I wonder myself how I did it! I guess that's why I can read so well.



.......Daddy recently put up the putty in the new room. Now both Mom and Dad are working on sanding it. They wear special masks while they're doing it to help stop from breathing the stuff in. Last night it was so hazy in there, you eyes felt funny just 2 centimeters in!



.......Last night the boys slept in my room. It was fun! We stayed up playing games until 11:00. Then we slept for half an hour and then we woke up again. We stayed up for a while then we fell asleep again until about 5:30. Then we fell asleep at about 7:30 and then me and Faith woke up at 8:45. The boys didn't wake up til later. It was a fun night!


Well, that's all I can think of for now. I hope you enjoyed reading! :)

The Christmas Parade

Yesterday we went to the Christmas parade. It was lots of fun! We woke up at 7:00, and then we got dressed. We had to dress really warmly because it was going to be VERY cold. I had on 2 long sleeved shirts, one jacket, my winter coat, tights, long socks, and pants. I was going to wear 2 pairs of pants, but Mom said I didn't need it. I wish I wore those other pants! I also had my hat and gloves. A little bit after we got ready to go Gram and Pappy came. Then after a little bit we got in the car and went to the parade. Mom, Dad, and Maverick got in the middle seat and me, Kannon, and Faith got in the back seat. On the way we saw some pretty big buildings. We saw the American Airlines Center and the big ball tower. We also saw the rocket tower and the ruins of Reunion Arena. When we got there we all got on our hats, gloves, and coats. Me, Maverick, Kannon, and Pappy went ahead. Me and Kannon had a hard time keeping up. When we got there, Pappy laid out some of the blankets he had with him. Then, when the others got there, he laid out the rest of the blankets. We ate our donut holes and drank a little hot chocolate and then Daddy took us down to the place with trees. We chased him around and caught him twice. Then he spun all of us around and then we climbed on a sort of round railing. The first time I jumped of to Daddy. It was scary. The other times I didn't. Then we came back and listened to the rest of a concert that was going on. Then, after a while, the parade started! First came some police cars and some of what looked like golf carts, then dancers from a dance they did further down the road came. Then a marching band came, and then a Santa balloon came.
Next another marching band came, and then a float. Next came some old cars with people in them, and then came STAR WARS! There was Princess Leia and R2-D2, and then came Anikan and Padme in a ship with wheels. Then came Darth Vader with clones and officers and TIE fighter pilots. Then Rudolf came, then Strawberry Shortcake came. Then more stuff came, including bell balloons and other balloons, and then Santa Claus came on a float. Then we gathered up our stuff and walked back to the car. On the way home we saw more REALLY tall buildings and the X building. When we got home most of us were really tired, but happy. It was a great parade! :)

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy Birthday Daddy! I hope you like my birthday picture and the brownies we made you! You are the best dad in the world, and I hope you had a very happy day!

Funny Things, Weird Things, Etc. Vol. 5

I have more funny, things, weird things, etc.! Here we go!




......On Saturday Daddy put the siding on the house. Me and Maverick helped him use the table saw and I helped hold the boards up while he nailed them into place. My arms hurt a lot after I was done! Once while he was nailing a nail he hit his thumb very hard with the hammer. It looked really bad, one one side of the fingernail there was blood and the other side had a really bad swelling. Ouch!



......Once when I was about six there was a big thunderstorm in the middle of the night. I was asleep until this HUGE thunder came, and it was so big it set off a car alarm! It also woke me up. I think I was awake for the rest of the thunderstorm. That thunder was the biggest thunder I've ever heard in my life!


......We used to have a cat named Stormy. She really was pretty stormy! She was a stormy grey, hence the name, and she would scratch us up a lot! We had to give her back to the center, but we got Snuggles instead.



That's all for now. more will come soon! :)

The Fire House Open House Thingy

Last Saturday we went to a fire house open house thingy. It was tons of fun! In the morning I woke up and Pappy was there! And what's more, he brought donuts! They were good. After breakfast we went over to Gram and Pappy's house. After we played for a few minutes, it was time to go! We didn't know were we were going, and I wanted to see when we got there. It was really cold out. I should have brought my camera and my sweater! First we climbed on a ladder truck. The ladder was up all the way, and it was super duper tall! I kept saying, "Don't make me climb up there!" We did climb on the back of the truck, though. It was a lot higher than it looked! I kept pressing myself against the railings that were behind me. After that we climbed in it. I didn't climb in the front, though. But that's alright! One of the firefighters that were there said, "We have to close the doors." We didn't know why. Then we went closer to a big group of people. Then another firefighter said, "They're coming in, you need to stand back." We wondered what he meant, but then we figured out that a helicopter was going to land! When it came in, we yelled, "There it is!" Then it circled around. When it landed, it was like a tornado! We had to hold onto the fire hats we got, or they would have blown off! After that we saw a demonstration of what firefighters do if there was a wreak and someone was trapped inside. It was cool.Then we did something were there was this minuture house, and behind it there was a cart with some liquid on fire. We used a real fire hose to put it out! Even Faith did it! After that we got some lunch. It was hot dogs and soda. They were good. After that we saw the helicopter take off. It was like a tornado again! Then we got our stuff. While we were waiting in line, we saw a search dog. It was a golden retriever. It looked like a really nice dog! We got a lot of really cool stuff. After that, we saw a demonstration of a fire hose being used. The person said that it could spay out 1,000 gallons a minute! Then we went in a house were a firefighter told us stuff. And he picked ME to demonstrate what you do if the smoke alarms go off. Some pretend smoke came in and I went down on the ground. Faith just stayed where she was. :) Then I felt a door, and it was actually hot! There wasn't any fire behind it, though. After that we got a picture with a clown and then we went home. It was really fun! :)

Funny Things, Weird Things, Etc. Vol. 4

I have some more funny things, weird things, etc. for you! Here we go!



......It has been raining off and on all week. The sun has only come out once or twice, like last night it came out just a tiny bit. I was awake at 3:00 in the morning last night, and it started thunderstorming. It wasn't really bad, just the weird thing was that first the thunder was close, and then it was far away, then it was medium. Even if it did storm some more, I didn't hear it cause I fell asleep.


......Last night Daddy said that we had to take out a little wall. Then he swag the hammer in his hand and swung it at the wall. After he had gotten a section of the wall off, he said, "Look! Snake eggs!" Later Maverick held it, and he showed Mom. Then Daddy said that they were still wet. Then he said, "We'll just make sure we lock Snuggles in the playroom tonight. She'll play with it and stuff." And I said, " What, before I get to hold it?!"



......When we were coming home from church one day, we saw this huge tree that had fallen over. The funny thing was, it had tiny roots for a tree so big. Weird!



......We went to a baseball game last month. It was a lot of fun! On the way we passed Six Flags. We saw people going on the Superman and a huge and scary rollercoaster! At the baseball game we got peanuts and cotton candy. They were both really good! The Rangers lost though. But after the game there were fireworks! They were really spectacular!



......Faith keeps telling me what to say. It's really quite funny! Like just now she was trying to get me to get her to games, and I said no and she said, "Say Sure!" It is really funny!




That's all I have for now. More will come soon, I promise! :)
