Maverick's Tooth

Guess what? Maverick lost his first tooth last Thursday. He was really excited! Here is how it fell out: Well, we don't really know how it fell out, but what we do know is that it came out in pizza! Maverick was eating his pizza and he felt something hard in his mouth. He didn't realize it was his tooth when he took it out of his mouth. Later, when he was in the bathroom to brush his teeth, he looked in the mirror and realized his tooth was gone! Then he went and told Mom. A few nights later the tooth fairy came. She left Mav 3 dollars and thirty-something cents. I'm very happy for him! :)

VBS 2009

For VBS this year at church, the theam was "Starlight Rescue". The decorations were really awsome, the best I've ever seen. There were planets, stars, and spacemen hanging down from the ceiling in the lobby. The walls next to the stairs had black paper on them, and glued to the paper were things like stars and planets. There were also black lights on the platforms between the sets of stairs. It was the same thing on the walls in the lobby, and on the platforms on the stairs in the lobby there were rockets. Not real rockets, of course. In the auditorium, on the stage there were pretend arcade games. On the edges of the stage, there were rope lights. It was really, really cool. On water day for me, we played a lot of fun games, all which had to do with water. We did a water relay, a sponge toss game, and water hot potato. Here is what happend on my first day: Mom dropped me off upstairs. Then my class(4th grade C) went into a big room. There we did a science experiment with a crazy professor. The experiment was to make a penny shiny......with hot sauce! We also used a paper clip, a thumb tack, and 'polising goop', as the professer called it. Then we went to the auditorium for assembly. When we got there we went to a mat to sit on. Then the rest of the classes got there and assembly started. There were 2 teams: the red team and the blue team. The left side was the blue team and the right side was the red team. That day my class was on the red team. You competed for balls, which were astroids, which were points. Our team won some of the competions. Then it was worship. They would chose people to come on stage to sing and do the motions. I got to go up 2 times. The songs were great! I bought a CD of them. There were: "Sing Praises", "Rocket To My Heart", "Light Shine Strong", "Shining Stars", and "Let Your Light Shine". I like them all, but my favorite is "Rocket To My Heart". Then we had a skit. The caritures were: Samantha, a tom-boy, Tiffany, a very girly-girl, CBC2, a robot, and Samantha and Tiffany's mom. Samantha(we'll call her Sam) and Tiffany got sucked into a video game, and there they met CBC2. Then it ended. Then we did another song, and then we had snack and watched 2 cartoons. The first one was about a lost sheep, and the second one was about a play. Then assembly was over. Then we went to our class. It was fun. Then we went to the place were our moms or dads would pick us up. The next day was water day for me and Kannon(I forgot to tell you, he got to go this year.). It was a lot of fun. The next day was water day for Maverick. It sounded like he had a lot of fun too. Thursday was the Family Fun Night. They had a real fire truck there! I got to go play with Elizabeth, my freind. We played without adults! We both got to use a real fire house. In the skit, both Tiffany and Sam belived in God in the end. VBS 2009 was awsome! :)

The Park

Today we went to the park. It was my idea. First we went to Mcdonald's to get some lunch. I paid for it. Then we went to the park. On the way, we saw some hawks that were really close to the ground! I love hawks almost as much as I love whales! Then, when we got to the park, I helped Mom carry a lot of stuff. It took a long time for Daddy to get there. We had lots of fun, and Mommy brought the video camera and took some video. :)

YIPPE!

Guess what? C'mon, you have to guess! Oh, fine, I'll tell you. Mommy is having another baby!!!!! Horay! What's more, Maverick's room isan't going to be Maverick's room anymore. It will be the nursery! Were will the boys sleep, you ask? Well, I'll tell you, sheesh, stop bugging me. :) Daddy is going to make a wall in the playroom, and behind that wall will be their room. I hope the new baby will be a girl. The funny part is, we were watching the home videos Mom makes, and we were watching when Faith was born, and Maverick asked Mom if she was going to have another baby. Mom said no, but she was wrong! Please pray for her, because she has not been feeling well lately. I think she is under a lot of stress. :)

My Fish

I have 3 fish right now. I used to have 6. My tiger barb died the day before yesterday. My cherry barb and my sucker fish died yesterday. The other fish have already started eating them.

Let's have a little history about my fish. I bought them with my birthday money. I was very excited when we went to get my first fish. We even bought a ship to put in the tank. We brought them home and started on what was supposed to be a story of happy, long-living fish. That didn't work out at all. Soon one fish died, and another, and another until all of them had died. So we got more. Most of them, died, too. But not all! We bought more fish. Then it comes to now. I used to have a tiger barb, a cherry barb, a catfish, a rainbow shark, and a rosy barb. Now I only have the shark, the catfish, and the rosy.

You would think that after a long time of fish dieing, I would be used to it. Nope. I feel like I'm the reason my fish are dieing. Mom keeps telling me that there was something in the water. I don't deny that, but I still don't feel good at all. Does anybody know any good fish keeping tips?

Wine & Food Festival

On Sunday we went to a wine and food festival in Austin. It was a really long drive. Saturday night we had camp-out in the play room. We had to wake up really early so we could have enough time to get there before it started. We woke up at 6:30 in the morning. Dad had music playing on Itunes. We got ready to go and then Gram and Pappy picked us up. First we went to Hillsboro to drop Kannon and Faith of at Miss Melinei's granny's house. It is right by a farm! We dropped them off there because they coudn't come with us. Then we went the rest of the way there. And even that was interesting. We saw some weird stuff. I had brought my camera there, too, so I took lots of pictures. We stopped for breakfast at Ihop. I got the silver five with bacon and scrambled eggs. Maverick got the same with hash browns insted of eggs. Then we got back in the car. Gram gave us her Ipod Touch. We watched a video about blue whales and then we played Touch Pysicys. Then we played Blocked. Then we gave it to Gram. After awhile Maverick threw up. Poor guy. :( I didn't throw up though! :) Then we got there. I took some pictures. There were a lot of tents. They had food places and wine tasting places in them. One was a cooking deminstration. One was were you went to hear the music. They had live bands there! First we went potty in the port-a-pottys. Then we went to a tent. There was: wine, wine, and more wine! There was a little food, and it was pretty good. Gram said that the festival should have been called the Wine & Food And Wine Festival! After we went through the tents we went to a place were there were some small food booths. There was a place that had chicken stuff and a place that had tacos and another place. I tryed one of the tacos, but I didn't like it. To get to the food booths you had to go over a muddy field. There were boards that you could walk over so you wouldn't get muddy. Then we went to a place that we could run around in. Then we went potty again. Then we ran around a little more, and then we went to the cooking deminstration tent. On the chairs were some bags. They were checkerd with a green stripe near the top. The words in the green stripe said, "I used to be a plastic bottle." On some of them the checkers were two shades of green. On the others they were colored. We kept one of each. It took too long for the deminstratoin to start so we went out of the tent. We went with Pappy to the field again. He counted how long it took for us to run to the fence and back. I got 14 and 13 seconds. Maverick got 17,16,and 15 seconds. Then we went to the music. I took some pictures and even some video. Then we found the others. Then we went home. When we stopped at the farm I took some pictures. There was a dog there and a cat. We petted them both. There were also some cows behind the fence. I took pictures of them. I took pictures of the barn, the tractor, and a pothole. Then we went home. It felt great to be home! A good time was had by all!
