It is finally winter break and it is almost Christmas! I can get some rest and and read or something like
that. This could probably be the best Christmas ever and there is only 4 more days until we are having fun as a family. If you think about it almost every Christmas is a really good one. I bet Trey and Evan think the same.

Carter

a few days ago me, Trey, Evan, mimi and poppop were going to see our new cousin baby Carter and we had pizza and stayed for about an hour or two. Out of all the kids I got to hold him first. When I first set him on my lap he farted on me! Ya, I now that its grose. When it was Trey and Evan's turn nothing happend! What happens next, he poops on me. So watch out when your holding a baby for the first time!

we just got back from the beach and I had a blast there. But I am still glad to be home and things are back to normal.

This week I have been doing VBS and it is doing great. I really like doing VBS at this church because there is like a town square with lots of shops. Today I did the wood shop and the food market and we went to Mary's house. I LOVE VBS!

I am so glad that it is summer now because I have no school for the summer ans mom is doing a camp for the summer and I can't wait! So I am pretty pumped for tomorrow.

FIRE

last night wile we were camping Evan was putting fire on his stick and thinking it was a light saber and he was trying to hit me and then I heard Trey saying STOP DROP AND ROLL, STOP DROP AND ROLL. And of course I did not believe him and then I looked down and there was fire on my pants but it went away quick and I was very mad at him.

Wyatt is going to come over today to spend the night so we went to the grocery store and got stuff for the weekend and when we were about to leave and then mom took off into the store and came back out with some jumbo marshmallows and said "this is why kids come over to our house" and then we got all the other stuff for a camping trip. Went home and got ready for Wyatt to come over and we are still waiting for him to come and it is 10:42.

weekend trip

This week me,Dad,Trey and Evan went to our Dad's grandpa's funeral so we had to go to a
hotel and we had lots of fun so we thought that we could do it more often and now every Saturday we do a boy night and have fun more. And at the hotel we swam,ate and we wanted to go into the game room but that sent dad crazy because dad did NOT want us to play any video games at his grandpa's funeral.

NBA basketball

in class a few days ago me and my friend Austin wanted to do some research. We had to
see what idea we wanted to do research on. We saw that other people were doing baseball
so our favorite sport is basketball so we did that. At first we thought we were 1 team
but we had a fight on witch team to do he wanted to do the Bulls and I wanted to do the
76ers. So we kind of thought that we could do 2 different players so he did Darrick Rose
and I Evan Turner. And I am doing TONS of research.

Trey's Glasses

Yesterday my brother Trey got glasses and everybody is telling him he looks like a scientist.

the wind

Today Trey and I played in the wind. And Evan played too. The wind was HUUUGGGGEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!. It almost blew us out of this world. I drove the
tractor today too. While the wind was blowing like nuts, we played rich person
like one guy would watch a guy play an instrument and he get's payed. We were pretending we were rich.

The Ghost

Once there lived an old clumsy carpenter named Joe. He was poor and needed money. He lived in a camper. No one really bothered him. B0ut there was one person in his life named Clagget. Clagget was his brother. Every time he went into the woods he begged
everyone to believe that he saw a ghost. But no one ever believed him. Once when Clagget and Joe's sister Sue were picking berries a berry flew off the vine by it self. She was shocked. She told every one that she knew about the ghost. They started believing what Clagget said. But Joe still did not believe in what they said.

Joe took a walk in the woods at midnight and he could hear strange sounds. He looked every where but he could not see a thing. But then something taped his back. He turned around and he saw nothing. He started to get a little scared. A big shiver went down his back. Then something grabbed his leg. He looked down and it was still tugging on his leg but he saw nothing. He ran home and believed in ghosts from then on.
