The Wizards of Winter

Someone had way too much time on their hands, but WOW! Cool! Tell me if you like it!

Football with Davis

Today my mom told my brother Davis and I to go play football outside. At first we tried to teach Roxy how to be a running back, but it didn't work. After that we decided to actually play football. The asphalt was 2-hand touch, but when we get to the grass, it's tackle. At first I was the receiving team, and Davis was the kicking team. I scored a touchdown, and when Davis received the ball, we argued about where he was supposed to be.
He scored, then I got the ball and we argued again. I scored, then he got the ball and we argued a lot this time! We kept on arguing and tackling each other. I think that that part was the best part of the game. I won 12-6 (there were no extra points and we counted the touchdowns by 3s).

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas! I love the Christmas season! It's so joyful! It really is the best time of year.
I'm listening to Christmas carols as I write this, so I'm typing to the beat of the music. Currently, I'm hearing "Jingle Bells". I just can't figure out who singing it. Yes! Here's "Santa Clause is Coming to Town"! I love this song. My dad's favorite song is "O Holy Night" I like that song too. I haven't heard "Frosty the Snowman" in a while. It's surprising how much I remember of the video now that my sister wants to watch it.
I can't wait to see my cousins with their new baby that's 3 months old. My aunt is also coming to our house in the 27th, and is staying 'til the 2nd. I also get to see my other cousin's new dog Lucy. That reminds me. One year, at my cousin's house (the one that got the new dog) we thought we saw Rudolph the red nosed reindeer! We saw a red light outside the window that looked like it was flying, and then we heard bells.
My goal for this year is to get people to say Merry Christmas instead of "Happy Holidays". Last night, we went to pick up my dad from work, and we met some of his friends in the biulding. I said Merry Christmas, and this guy said "Happy Holidays" back to me! I'm so frustrated.

Zoo Tycoon

Has anyone played a game called Zoo Tycoon? Or Zoo Tycoon 2? Or even Zoo Tycoon Endangered Species? Well if you haven't, I'll tell you something. It's the greatest game ever!!!!! I'll rate it for you. On a scale from 1-10 I give it a 10. The pictures below are from Zoo Tycoon (2 and Endangered Species). What you do in the game is build a zoo, complete challenges, and rescue abused animals. You can go into first person mode and groom, wash, and heal your animals; fill up food and water dishes; open gates and walk around like a guest; and finally, you get to rake poo. Gross!
There is also a camera mode where you can also get challenges. My brother got a challenge where he had to take a picture of a carnivore stalking and catching it's prey. I wish that I had gotten that challenge. Oh well.

I hope you liked my review! Have fun in your zoo!

Look, he's dancing!!

















Awwww, they're so cute!

Snoopy

My dad just got back from a business trip, and brought back some presents for us. Davis, Britni and I all got little flashlights, and then Davis got a set of playing cards and a little foam football. My dad gave me and Britni a little Snoopy stuffed animal with a little "Beagle Scout" t-shirt and backpack. It's soooooo cute!! I love it. Britni named hers "Snooper" and decided that it was the little sister of my Snoopy. I decided to keep mine as Snoopy and not change his name. Here's his first comic as a "Beagle Scout".

Santa Clause 3 "The Escape Clause"

Last night my Nana and Aitona, (my grandma and grandpa, respectively) took me, my siblings, my mom, and Natalia out to lunch and a movie. We saw the new Christmas movie, Santa Clause 3 "The Escape Clause". I'll do a review on it so you can decide if you want to see it.
I'll use stars, like real movie reviewers, so I'll give Santa Clause 3 "The Escape Clause" ****stars, on a scale of 1-5. It was very humorous and hilarious. If you liked the first two, you'll like this one. Jack Frost is the nasty villain in this plot, but he doesn't seem like it to Santa. Mrs. Clause is about to have a baby, so they invite the in-laws, and make the workshop and town seem like
Canadian toy maker's shop. It's a great movie!

There's nothing to write about!!!!!! My mom wants me to write about something I can elaborate on, like my last entry. I have nothing else to write about like that though! Oh well. I'll just use some of our teacher's suggestions.
If I could be any animal, I would be a wolf or dog. If I was a dog, I'd want to be a yellow lab. I think yellow labs are the greatest! They're so cute and friendly. I would teach myself to swim and surf.
If I was a wolf, I would be a gray wolf, because I studied them in 4th grade. The wolves are so awesome because they love their young and sing songs of joy when they're born.

FIRE!!!!!

I have a funny but serious story about a bottle rocket and highly flammable trees. It was serious then, but funny now for me but not for the guy who got fined.

Once upon a SuperBowl Sunday........
This guy(I'm going to call him Ernie 'cause I don't know his real name), So Ernie's favorite team had just won the Superbowl, and he was extremely excited. So, he let off a bottle rocket. There's five things wrong with that. One, it's illegal, two it's illegal, three it's dangerous, four it's illegal, and five, there was a lot of very very very flammable trees. Not anymore. The bottle rocket caught the first set of highly flammable trees on fire, and the sparks caught the next trees, and the next, and the next, and you get the picture, right? Soon, the flames got near my house. I freaked!!!!!! (I was around five then so it was okay.) My mom told me and my sibs to grab my favorite stuffed animal and run to Megan's house, because she was my next-door neighbor and her house didn't have sparks raining down on it. So I got to spend the night at Megan's house. It would've been fun if we weren't so scared.
Finally the firefighters and police got here and caught Ernie and his buds and put out the fire. Megan and her siblings, and me and mine used to hide in the little space between her highly flammable trees and the wall. But after the fire her dad cut 'em down. Now there's barely any of that certain kind of tree anywhere in that neighborhood.

The moral of this story is even if you're really excited that your team win the Super Bowl, don't set off a bottle rocket. People don't like fires around their homes, especially if it's not in the fireplace. Just remember that. If you don't, and set trees on fire, don't come crying to me.
Take care, and remember, "Only you can prevent forest fires!"

Harvestine

I think we shoud call halloween Harvestine, because the word halloween sounds spooky. And, the meaning of halloween now means pretty much the same thing as dress up and be scary, gross, creepy, and freakish. Halloween is fun, but I don't like the actual meaning of it. That's why I don't like going trick-or-treating. I don't like it when people dress up as scary, bloody, or gory things. Once my six year old "Little buddy" dressed up as a grim reaper or something like that. I got grossed out because you could you could pump fake blood through the face mask. Disgusting!

Anyway, I'm going to be one of the Inseparable BF2s, but without the ski goggles. I would go to the church's disco party for JH and HS, but my mom doesn't want drive me there so I can't go. Oh well. I get to go to Megan's house for a party instead. It'll be so fun! I'll get to go apple bobbing for my second time ever!

God's Supers, GSG, and MGSG

Now, I will reveal my secret identity to the world and let everyone know I'm a Christian! I want to start a club with my friends called the GSG, Gospel Surf Girls, and now we could make shirts for that like we did for our costume. We could also go meet at the beach and play and pray around, and have my mom teach us how to surf. That would be awesome! I will have to talk with my mom and friends about it. My little sister and I talked about her starting a club called MGSG, the Mini Gospel Surf Girls with her friends. If we both start our clubs, then we can meet together, hang out together, and read God's word together. I think I should really get my friends and tell them about this idea.

So long!

Night of the....Superheroes!!! II (Dadadaaaa!)

Finally! Tonight is (Dadadaaaa!) the Night of the Superheroes! And yes, the fate of the Candy Bar does rest in my hands! I must save it! Or, rather eat it! I must call together my two partners and we will form....... The Inseparable BF2s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Together will we save the world!!!!!And then, we will unmask ourselves in front of the other supers, so that they will know who we are and warn us when there is someone plotting against us!
Joined, the supers will all become....
God's Supers!



The city is in dire need of a hero!
I am that hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Dadadadannn!)

Night of the....Superheroes!!! (Dada)

Tomorrow, all the supers will come out and meet at a church! Yes, It will be spectacular. If you wish to go, dress up like a super! I, for one, am becoming a super not only to save the world, but also to get a super-size candy bar!! Every super in uniform will get a candy bar. I have to decide, to be a pumpkin-head, or not to be a pumpkin-head, that is the question. Maybe I'll just be something else.
My Powers? Oh, well, um... Aha!! I've got it! I can.......




To be continued.......

BLOGGING

I don't know why I'm still blogging, 'cause class is over. Maybe because it's fun. I don't know! I got to teach someone how to blog, and they like it, so maybe that's why I want to blog. Or maybe I just do it to waste some time, practice typing, and communicate with friends. I like being able to put pictures up, and write about cool things I've done, going to do, or that I'm doing. I also like being able to write about what I love. Speaking of what I love, my dog's sitting right next to me. She's so cute!!!
Uh-oh, I have to go!
Bye!

Babysitting

Today was pretty fun. I went to someone's house to help someone watch her kids. Then some other moms dropped their kids off, so then we had to watch 6 kids instead of 2. There was only 1 girl, but she fit in with the boys just fine. The oldest kid there was a 4-year old, and 2 kids had to take a nap. The little kids only wanted to have a snack, and then watch a movie. The 4-year old wanted to play outside and have a snack and watch a movie. The movie was "Dave and the Giant Pickle" from VeggieTales. After the movie I read them a "Winnie the Pooh" story, "Red Fish, Blue Fish, One Fish, Two Fish" from Dr. Seuss. Then the 4-year old wanted me to read him Calvin and Hobbes.
Then I had to get my schoolwork done. Oh well. I got paid $25 for having fun.

The Lake

This weekend was so awesome! I got to go to the same lake as before, but this time with student Leadership from church! We got cabins on the other side of the lake, and I thought that the cabins were like hotels! My dad came and brought our boat, so then we had two, because another guy, A Coast Guard, brought his boat too.
On the way to the lake, we saw two wild boars! They were like pink pigs with tusks. There was also some black tarantulas, owls, white mice, and bats. I also got within a yard of the rabbits. They were so cute! But the deer were much cuter, though. One doe came up to me on her own and sniffed and licked my hand! Then someone came out of the cabin and the doe ran a few yards away. I went inside, and then went out the back door, and the deer were up the hill a little ways, watching me. This time the doe brought her two fawns, both were baby bucks. I got chips and started to walk towards them, and the fawns backed away, but the doe stayed. She came closer, and I finally got her near the stairs. Then, I would feed her chips, and while she was chewing, I reached out to pet her. I pet her a few times, and then the two fawns came over, and I got to hand feed only one of them, before they shied away. That was so awesome, being able to enjoy God's creation like that.


We got to go wakebording, and I was the only one who waterskiied. This time, I actually got to stay up on the wakeboard for a few minutes. After taking everyone out on the boat, we had lunch and went tubing and Sea-Dooing. I had so much fun! I'm so glad I got to go.

Revised story

Mutt vs. the Dogcatcher

London, England is home to a lot of stray dogs. Not one of those stray dogs is a King Charles Spaniel, because King Charles made those dogs like royalty.since he did that, lots more dogs have been kicked out of homes to make room for the King Charles Spaniel. The dogcatcher rules the streets with an iron net. He’s caught most of the dogs except for a few elderly dogs, little puppies, about two middle-aged dogs, and Mutt. The dogcatcher now considers Mutt his worst enemy.
Mutt is about two years old, and is very cute. His coat is scraggly and scruffy and one ear is straight and the other is floppy. His fur is gray, with a few black hairs. His eyes are very intriguing; they seem to see inside of you. The color of his eyes is amber. He has a waggly tail, just like in the song, “How Much Is That Doggie In The Window?”
One of Mutt’s habits is to tease the dogcatcher whenever he tries to catch him. Mutt also loves to chase cats, bark at cats, and tease them. One of the best and most fun ways to get meat is to steal it from the butcher. When he returns to the alley he calls home, he wishes he had a family to play with.
Mutt is very daring; sneaky, cocky, brave, and risky, and he loves to take on any challenge. Mutt is very lovable and loving. He is also very funny and playful. His favorite pastime is trying to teach Scamp, a puppy, how to find food.
The dogcatcher is a very mean and cruel man. He’s always yelling, sneering or cursing. The dogcatcher is also very dumb. Whenever anybody important says something, he scratches his head, looks confused, and says “Duuuuhhhhh.” He’s also always ready for a call. Since most of the dogs have already been caught, most of the calls are about Mutt. The dogcatcher hates dogs, and loves cats.
The dogcatcher has a tomcat named Tom. The dogcatcher and Tom hate dogs and abuse them. Tom and Mutt are mortal enemies too. Mutt recites poems to Tom, and he gets really mad. The dogcatcher has blond spiky hair that sticks out from the hat he’s always wearing.


One day…
Scamp and Mutt were walking along, and Mutt said, “Scamp, I’ve brought you along today to teach you how to get the best meat possible. We’re going to the butcher’s!”
“Really? Yay!! This’ll be so much fun, Uncle Mutt!”
The butcher’s was in sight when Mutt cautioned Scamp. “Shhh We have to be very quiet. Otherwise the butcher might call the dogcatcher and we won’t get any food tonight.”

When the butcher came out of his shop, both dogs started to crawl on their bellies. They were within a foot of the back door of the shop, when Scamp sneezed.
“Who’s out there? Come on out! Show yerselves! I mean it ye yellow-bellied cowards! If yer a dog, then scram! Beat it! And if yer Mutt, then I’m calling the dogcatcher!”
“Uh-oh. Uncle Mutt, what do we do? I’ve never seen the dogcatcher and I really don’t want to. I’m scared,” whimpered Scamp.
“It’ll be okay. We’ll leave now,” sighed Mutt.

“Weeeoooweeeoooweeeooo!” Went the dogcatcher’s siren.
“Finally! Yer here. They went that way! Catch them!” screamed the enraged butcher.
“I’m on it!” chuckled the dogcatcher evilly.


The dogs ran until they came to a brick wall.
“Scamp, I think you better go home.”
“Why? I want to stay with you.”
“Because. The dogcatcher is looking for you now. If he catches you, it won’t be good.”
“Fine. I’ll leave.”
“Be careful.”
“I know.”
Later on…
Piercing barks split the air! It’s a cry for help.
Those barks sound a lot like Scamp’s, Mutt realizes. Also, the sirens for the dogcatcher have stopped. Strange, Mutt thinks. Maybe I should go check it out.”

A ways away something bad had happened.
. The dogcatcher has caught Scamp and is going to use him as bait for a trap to catch Mutt!
When Mutt reaches the dogcatcher, he growls, “Let Scamp go!”
“No way, stupid dog! I’m using him as bait to trap you! Hahahahaha!”
“Ohhh. You want to trap me. Silly me. I figured you would want to have tea with me.” Mutt says sarcastically.
“Yup. Do you want cake, or ice cream, or both?"
Rolling his eyes Mutt says, “No! We’re supposed to fight for Scamp’s freedom! I was being sarcastic with the remark about tea! Geez!”
“Okey-dokey then. Let’s fight!”
“Grrrraaaarrr!!!” Growled Mutt, baring his teeth and backing the dogcatcher against a brick wall.
“Aaaaiiiieeeee!!!!!!” the dogcatcher screamed like a baby. Thump! The dogcatcher fainted!
“Ruff! Ruff! Yay! Mutt!!” cheered Scamp.
“Meow! Hiss. Groooowl! Rowww!” Howled the enraged Tom, who had seen the dogcatcher go down.
“Yipe! Save me, Mutt!” cried Scamp.
“Back away, you stupid cat!” Growled Mutt threateningly.
“Never! I will kick your butt, you dumb dog! Then I will take this darn pup here and lock him away!”
“Oh yeah? I’ll recite my own poem for you first!” challenged Scamp, knowing that Tom hated his poems. “Here it goes! Roses are red, Violets are blue, Am I sure glad I don’t look or smell like you!”
“Yowl! I hate you, you stupid puppy! Yowl!!!!!” Cried Tom as he ran to his master.





Wooowooowooowooo! That’s the police. The dogcatcher was actually Morris Bunt, the escaped criminal! The most wanted criminal in all of London!
“Great job dogs! We’ve been looking for Morris for a long time. Hey chief!” called Officer Marie.
“Yeah?” Chief answered.
“I think these dogs need a home!” she said.
“Okay, take ‘em!” he said.
“All right! You guys will like my home. There’s a big yard…”
The dogcatcher sneered, “I’ll get you Mutt if it’s the last thing I d-“
“Be quiet! Get in the car! And take your cat with you!” yelled the chief.


So the dogcatcher a.k.a. Morris Bunt finally got caught and taken back to Dartmoor prison with Tom, and Mutt and Scamp finally got a home. Mutt and Scamp lived happily ever after with Officer Marie.
THE END

Random Things

I don' know what to write about! Isn't that frustrating?
Oh! I just remembered something! Go to my blog, and under contributors, click on LT-man21 and you can go to somebody new's blog. I won't say their name. Some of you will know him. If you do, I bet you'll be able to guess who he is.
Oh, yeah! I'm so excited! I get to go to the same lake as I did earlier, but this time I get to go with my church's student leadership group! My dad's bringing our boat, and we'll be up there from Friday to Sunday. Scott's friend is a coast guard, and he's bringing a really cool boat, and Scott is bringing his Sea-doo, and so is another leader. We'll get to go water-skiing, wakeboarding, and tubing! It'll be awesome!

Mutt vs. the Dogcatcher

Mutt vs. the Dogcatcher

London, England was home to a lot of stray dogs. One of those stray dogs was special. His name was Mutt.

He has a tomcat named Tom. The dogcatcher and Tom hate dogs and abuse them. Tom and Mutt are mortal enemies too. The dogcatcher has blond spiky hair that sticks out from the hat he’s always wearing.

“Ruff! Ruff! Yay! Mutt!!”




Wooowooowooowooo! That’s the police. The dogcatcher was actually Morris Bunt! The most wanted criminal in all of London!
“Great job dogs! We’ve been looking for Morris for a long time. Chief!” called Officer Marie.

“Be quiet! Get in the car!” yelled the chief.

So the dogcatcher I mean, Morris Bunt finally got caught, and Mutt and Scamp finally got a home. Mutt and Scamp lived happily ever after With Officer Marie!
THE END

Lake

This weekend was so awesome! My family and I went to a lake for the weekend with my cousin J, my Uncle R, and Natalia. We brought our boat and Roxy, even though we didn't want to leave her on shore when everyone was on the boat. She was actually very good when on shore alone though. Roxy was very content with chasing sticks, balls, and birds. She even tried to chase the 8 deer we saw! ;~D We saw 2 does and 2 fawns on Saturday, and 3 does and 1 fawn on Sunday. They were so cute! My mom took some pictures, but I don't know how good they're going to turn out.
The best part was the wakeboarding, waterskiing, and innertubing. I am a lot better at waterskiing than wakeboarding, so I stayed up on skis about 20 minutes longer. When I jumped, the backs of my skis were about a computer's height out of the water! It was the first time I've ever tried to jump.
I tried wakeboarding for only the second time, and I stayed up for about 5 minutes. The water was extremely choppy though, unlike when I was waterskiing.
We hooked up 2 tubes, so we wouldn't have to take turns. We called the rides "Bumper Tubes" because we always hit each other as if we were in bumper cars. Davis and J were on the one that's easier to stay on, and Britni and I were on the flat tube, which was harder to stay on. We asked to hit the wakes made by other boats, and when we did, I had to hold on to Britni so she wouldn't fall off. I saved her about 15 times. The lake was so awesome! I hope I can go again.

Worship Workshop

Last night was cool. I went to my church's Worship Workshop to join the Junior High Worship group. The leaders thought I wanted to sing, but I told them that I wanted to play the keyboard. The group already consisted of 4 singers, a bass guitarist, a drum player, and the leader who was the lead singer and guitarist. The only girls besides me were the singers. Everybody else was a boy. Before we actually started practicing, the leader read Ephesians chapter 5 verses 1-2. 1Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children 2and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Then we shared our thoughts on the verse. Then the kids played around while the leaders tried to figure out the sound and how to hook up the keyboard. We practiced Holy Fire, Here I Am To Worship, All Who Are Thirsty, I Could Sing of Your Love Forever, and Holiness. The Worship group will get to go to a Chris Tomlin concert on the 21st. I can't wait to go! Worship group will be so fun! I'm so glad I went. Now I get to help out with worship tomorrow night for youth group.

Soccer

I should've written this earlier, but our soccer game on Saturday was awesome! We played a really good blue team, which had about 5 All Stars on it. Amy and Megan are on my team, and in practice, some of the other girls were phsyching us out, because our first two games (which thankfully didn't count), we lost by a lot. The game before though, we won, but only because the other team did a handball in the box in the 4th quarter.
This game, we all knew, was going to be a challenge. The first quarter, Amy and I were out, so we watched to find out who was their greatest player. We soon found, that #8, the coaches daughter was. She was a midfielder, so I knew that If I was defense, I'd have to watch her. When I came in the coach put me in midfield. #8 was out. A girl on our team I'm going to call her teammateA, scored in the first quarter, but then the blue team got a goal off a corner kick in the second.
The rest of the game I was defense. The blue team scored another goal, and then Megan scored one. After that, It was teammateA who scored our third goal. In the 4th quarter, Amy scored. Then, our last goal was scored by teammateA. We had won against maybe the best team in the league 5-2! It was the best game ever.

My Descriptive Essay

All right. I revised my essay, so here it is! I hope you like it.

Roxy

My best non-human friend is my dog Roxy, the best good-natured yellow lab ever. She is smaller than most labs because of her mom. I never met her mom or dad, but I know that her mom was small, and her dad was big. Roxy is more of a yellowish-white color than anything else. Her ears are like a piece of golden velvet. Her tail is like a flag that announces her moods (usually happiness). She is so fun to cuddle with because she just curls up and falls asleep with her head on your lap. Roxy is like a girl version of Air Bud (from the movies), because she loves to play soccer, basketball, baseball, football and tennis. The only sport that Air Bud can’t do but Roxy does is surfing.

Roxy is a Labrador Retriever, which means she loves the water. One of her favorite spots to go is the beach. I take Roxy to the beach mainly to get her tired out with a tennis ball. I usually pack two to three tennis balls, and Roxy always loses at least one. The one(s) that we bring back are covered in sand. It looks as if we had made perfect sand balls and brought them home. That’s because Roxy grabs them, and if we don’t try to take it away, she’ll start digging all around it. I don’t know what she’s doing, but it’s fun to watch. That gets her all sandy too. The surfboards also entertain Roxy, because she always takes at least one wave on my board. While she’s in the water, her flag (tail) is up and waving happily. If she could smile, it would be from ear to soggy ear. When she gets out of the water she stinks! She smells as bad as rotten eggs. The smell is a choking stench. On the drive home, the car is filled with the wet dog stink.

When we get home, I have to give Roxy a bath. Roxy would love to have baths banned. When she takes a bath, she would pout if she could, but she can’t, so she gives me those heart-wrenching puppy eyes. Her usually proud flag is hidden between her legs. When the bath is over, we have to wrap her up in her doggie blanket and lay her down on her doggie bed. She sometimes falls asleep, and other times she looks trapped. When I go to bed, she’s always right there behind me, waiting to be invited to join me up on my bed. I scratch her fuzzy tummy, and then we go to sleep.

My Story

Okay. Here is my story that I wrote for class. Enjoy!

The Day My Pet Rock Came To Life

One Friday at the beach I picked out a smooth, medium sized rock to keep. I named him Rocky and took him home. I painted big jolly eyes and a smiling mouth on him. I showed my brother Davis and he laughed.
The next morning…
“Wake up! Come on sleepyhead!! Wake up! Come on. Wake up!” I jolted up, looked around and started to get nervous. There was nobody here. And then…”Down here!! Hey! You! Look down here!”
I looked down and saw nothing but my pet rock, and he said “Finally! You’re slow. Are you still asleep or something?”
“Aaauugghh!!!!” I screamed, "This is just a dream. I’m still asleep, in bed, dreaming,” I kept telling myself. “Ouch!” I had closed my eyes and pinched myself to wake me up, but it didn’t work.
5 minutes later…
I was in Davis’s tornado-struck room telling him what happened. When he heard he started to laugh his head off. I told him to come and see for himself, and he said only as long as the rock “talked” to him too.
Rocky took one look at Davis, and shut up right away. Davis said,” Well?”
I shrugged as he walked away. “Rocky!!!” I yelled. “What were you thinking!?!?!?!?”
“He would have fainted anyway. What was the point?” I couldn’t argue with that, so I decided to take Rocky to the beach where I found him.

Later that day…
We arrived at the rocky, duney beach, and I took him out of my pocket. He told me to put him down so he could feel the dry sand dunes and talk to the other rocks. I did, and he just sat there. I asked him what he was doing, and he said that he was talking with the other rock. He said that I just have to listen to them. When he was done, I walked him around for a little bit. He loved the sound of the crashing waves, the cry of the seagulls, and the feel of the gritty sand. We finally went home, and decided to go to bed.

The following morning…
“Yawn! Phew! Yesterday was all a dream! I’m free!” I yelled as I realized I had dreamt up yesterday. “Hahahaha!”
“Shhhh! I’m trying to sleep!” grumbled Roxy, my normally good-natured yellow lab. “Don’t you remember the saying, let sleeping dogs lie?” Here we go again!!!!! I thought as I rolled over in bed.


THE END

Invisibility

Being invisible would be awesome, because there's so many fun things to do. First off I could pull many pranks on my friends and family. I would be able to T.P. somebody without getting caught. Sneaking up on my brother and sister would be fun, but mean (but then I'd become visible and tell them what I did). Getting out of punishment and schoolwork would be a piece of cake. Endless desserts would finally be within my grasp! ;-D When my brother slept with my dog, I could sneak in and take her back. Then, if Davis and Britni were trying to hide, they could come to me and I'd make us both invisible.

During hide and seek, I'd hide in the most obvious spots, and only leave a little part of my body visible. I would take our laserlight, and make my dog go nuts because she wouldn't be able to see who was holding the light. Being able to become invisible whenever I want to would be so awesome!

Nothing's happening today, so I'll just write about anything. Oh yeah! I forgot. My Nana and Aitona (Grandma and Grandpa) came yesterday with my 3rd cousin named Natalia. It's different because she'll be here for three months, and we had to move my brother out of his room. She doesn't speak much English, but she's nice. I wonder what it'll be like, having her here.
Any way, my mom bought a used skateboard without trucks and wheels, and taped an old pair of her shoes on it, and now we use it on the trampoline. It's so fun! I can do an Indy, 180 spin, 360 spin, and a stalefish. I don't know what to call it, but when you're on the board with other people on the trampoline, you go really high! When you land, though, your legs feel so weird.
Uh-oh. I got to go.
See ya!

Pool Party!

Last night was awesome! My church has a really great junior high program led by Scott. We do really awesome stuff on Wednesdays. One time we had a candy night, we had a pizza night, we had a snow cone night,and we're having nacho night next week, and last night was a pool party! We had really great taquitos, Dr. Pepper and Coke, and lots of different kinds of chips. One of the leaders had brought in a big air mattress. All the boys started to play king of the hill. I started to play along with two other girls. Then I pushed off this one guy and he called two of his buddies two help him get me. They were out to get me even though I had only pushed one of them off once. When they tried to get me though, I pushed them off a lot. One of the leaders, Raymond (he was the one who brought in the mattress) came to play. He went under the mattress and lifted it up! Everyone fell off,except for me. That, was the most fun part of the game. I finally fell off, only to pop back up saying,"That was awesome! Let's do it again!"
Somebody had asked Scott last Sunday if they could get baptized at the party, and Scott said yes. After baptizing him, Scott asked if anybody else would like to get baptized and I said yes! He baptized me, and then I got out and asked Raymond to hand me back my towel, and he said,"Sure. But now it's time for your 'official' baptizing!" and threw me in the pool. I got out and went in the jacuzzi. Then Scoot threw pennies in the pool and told us that for every 20 pennies, we'd get a candy. When all the pennies were gone, we went up to get our candy. I got four candies. They were Skittles, Three Musketeers, Twix, and Reeses. The party was great! I had so much fun!

Roxy

I'm going to keep writing about Roxy because she is the best dog ever. If I take her to the beach and go surfing, she'll follow me, and when I take a wave, she'll try to bodysurf it with me. One time, though, my mom and I actually got her on a board and she took a wave! It's so cute when she does that!
Speaking of cute, when I'm gone at camp, she'll pull out all my stuffed animals and stay in my room, on my bed. Even when my family and I are gone for only a few minutes she'll do that! She gets lonely, and that's what she does when she's lonely.
Sometimes, though, when my family and I are tired, but she isn't, she'll run to the park to play. Some of those times she sees her friends and stays and plays. If not, she'll walk herself back home.
When she sleeps with me, she'll sometimes crowd me, but most of the tome she doesn't. Then, in the morning she'll leave, or wake me up. This morning she woke me up.
That's it for now!

Roxy

Hello!
I can't think of anything to write about except for my dog, Roxy. She's a 3-year old year old yellow lab. She loves playing with people and other dogs. Her best friend (boyfriend) is my friend's dog, Hobie. They love to hang out with each other, which is great because then I get to see my friend. If you mention the name Hobie to Roxy, she goes crazy! She starts running to the front door and back, licking your face, and wagging her body! I would say wagging her tail, except she gets so excited that her whole body starts wagging along with her tail! Also, if you mention the names of my other friend's dogs, she goes crazy too, but she doesn't run to the front door. Maybe it's because she grew up knowing Hobie, and not the other dogs until later.
I have to go, but I'll be back to write more about Roxy later.
Bye!

Dani Roxy Girl 2: September 2006

Hi again. I don't have much to say, except for the fact that our team, the Mongooses, lost another soccer game.My friends Amy, Megan, and I are all on the same team, and we had a game at 2:00 pm. We played the Stingrays, and we lost 3 to 1. Personally, I got really mad, so then I started going harder in the last quarter. I was defense though, so I couldn't score any goals.

On Thursday I got to go to Disneyland! It was so awesome! I got to go with my two friends. We got there when it opened and left when it closed. It felt like we went on almost every ride in the park! Our favorite was Space Mountain, and then Splash. The only rides that we wanted to go on but didn't get to were the Peter Pan and Indiana Jones rides. Oh well. We had tons of fun anyway. The next day I was so tired that the only thing I did was writing, which was also fun.

In writing I liked the Choose your own Adventure writing assignment. My group is doing a really cool story! The people in my group are Amy, Megan, and Lauren. I'm looking forward to our field trip next week.

See Ya!

Brazil

Hi, my name is Dani. I live in God's wonderful surf country.

I just recently got back from doing God's work in Brazil. I was in Sao Paulo Brazil for 10 days where I met some wonderful people. I was part of a children's ministry team. We did dramas, skits, and puppet shows to help them understand God's love. We did a workshop to teach the churches how to have a children's program (Sunday school, vacation bible school). After that we did two crusades to reach the youth. That was when we did the most puppet shows. The second crusade 45 kids accepted Jesus into their hearts during the altar call. It was so cool to know that we helped them! It was really a blessing to see these kids so eager to learn about God.
I had a puppet that I gave away to a 10 year old boy named Matthew. When I gave it to him his face lit up with joy as it is probably the only stuffed animal he has. It made me feel good to give it to him.

When we had free time we went shopping in the malls. I bought some really cool and interesting things. All their shops are grouped together by what they sell. For example, if you wanted to get Christian stuff you would go to the Christian area of town. If you wanted to get music you would go to the music area.
