'bout time...

Well, I haven't posted in a looooooooong time.
So, I'll see if I can remember any important stuff that's happened duiring said looooooooong time.
ummm, Thanksgiving, which Lana posted about.
Jeremiah's birthday, which was fun. We went to Chuck E. Cheese's, which, is the best place in the world to spend money and time on stupid little prizes. I didn't even bother trying to get lots of tickets, 'cause I never get enough...;P
What else...(actually, I've got something else, I'm just trying to think of something ELSE to write about before the thing that I've already thought about)
We had a special dinner thing at church to kick off our Season of Blessing thingy. It's pretty neat, everybody gets ten bucks and has to use it to bless somebody in whatever way you feel led to. I haven't used mine yet... I guess because I haven't felt like I was supposed to...
Oh yeah! I thought of something cool! About a year ago, I borrowed Relient K's cd "Two Lefts Don't Make a Right but Three do", and I kinda lost it... But I found it the other day! Talk about awesomeness, 'cause I was gonna buy a Relient K cd because I had a huge lack of Relient K cd-nes, if that makes any sense...
But, in order to listen to a Relient K cd without disturbing your mother who doesn't happen to have the same taste in music as you(actually, she has no taste in music whatsoever...), you kinda have to have an mp3 player. So I got one. Not just any old mp3 player. An iPod, 'cause they're the best, in my opinion. And not just any iPod. nope. The one and only iPod Touch!!! It's flippin' sweet!!!!!! It's kinda like walmart, 'cause I lived just fine without it, but it sure is nice to have;P

So, yep, that was what I wanted to write about...

What else.... It freezing rained yesterday/today. Or would you say it rained freeze? Or maybe it frained... Why does everything have to be so confusing?!

I just thought of a couple more things.
We had a party for the end of Spanish class. Caleb and Jared/Steve(could somebody explain that to me please?) M., and I wanted to do a song(I think it's turning into a tradition...). We were gonna do the dance of the cucumber, but that didn't work out, so we just did Feliz Navidad. It didn't turn out quite like we planned, big surprise, but it was pretty fun.
Then yesterday we had a Christmas party in science class, and a test after that(unpleasant story in there...). I think I did pretty good on the test. It won't surprise me if I got it perfect, but then again it won't surprise me if I didn't either;P

Okay, let me see if there's anything else worthy of posting about.....*scanning memory*.... Let's see.. We're going to Florida this summer! It's for a family reunion! I think we're staying for like, five days. Then there's around one-day driving each way, so about a week long deal. It'll be fun! I haven't been to the ocean in a couple of years...

Well, I think that's about it for now... maybe... yep, I think it is...



What?! You're still here? I said that's it! Bye-bye! so long! see ya later






Come on! Don't you understand English? yeah, me neither...;P

I'm well!!

HAPPY BELATED POST!! Meaning, I meant to write a post the day after Christmas. But, due to circumstances beyond my control (being sickness), it was postponed to later date (being today). Christmas was about as good as it could be, being sick like I was.

Lana and I gave Lily-Pie a baby doll that she loves.

T.J. and I bought some foam dart shotguns, which are pretty sweet, for Jeremiah and Josiah.

T.J., Lana, and I gave Brandon a video camera with a green–screen and editing software (I hope it works;p).

I gave Lana While you were sleeping, an old family favorite (it’s kinda sad, this is most likely her last Christmas with our family).

Lana, Brandon, and I bought T.J. an espresso maker, which is pretty cool (if you like espresso).

I bought my mom a 2 gigabyte memory card for the new camera my dad bought her.

For my dad - Lana, T.J., and I got my dad a huge scope for his little .22 rifle (it’s gonna be awesome when we get it zeroed in).

Okay, other than telling you all that I got, I will just tell you the biggest, the heaviest and the noisiest (oh yes, it makes noise) present that I got. I guess I might as well show you. This is Donor, my Christmas puppy.

Now before any confusion arises, I have had this dog for awhile. But if you will notice, he is sitting on carpet inside the house!! Now that you understand what the present was, please understand the sacrifice that it was. Our family of nine lives in a tiny house that is less than 1000 sq ft. so adding another dog is one thing, adding Donor is another. Donor is a hound/lab mix - very big and energetic. Here’s a picture of Donor next to Lola, my little dog (Lola is no tiny dog, she stands 14in. at the shoulders)

Now you should fully appreciate (not just understand) Donor, my Christmas puppy.Thanks mom and dad, I love you.

Okay, time for a real post. Umm, let’s see. Monday was chemistry class; we “tried” to make long lasting bubbles (not the flaming ones). After that I went to a surprise birthday party for a friend, we had pizza then we played basketball for a several hours.
I hadn’t touched a basketball (at least not with the intention of playing) in months. It was amazing; I still had the touch, I swooshed three threes in a row. My jumping needs some work though, I could only dunk on a nine or nine and a half ft. goal.
After that Mrs. M. took us home and visited with my mom for a little while. While they were talking I thought it was a good time to show my friends our swing. While we were walking over there my neighbor’s pit bull came over and started picking on the littlest friend. (poor kid is scared of dogs anyways). We ran Bull (that’s the pit bulls name) off and proceeded to the swing. Bull came back and we decided to just go back to the house after a few swings, we didn’t feel like messing with the dog.
After the Ms left I had to go lock up animals. I locked up the ducks and got over to the goats and realized that Bull was following me. I locked up the goats really fast (Bull doesn’t get along with the goats really well) and headed over to the chicken coop. While I was walking, Bull started nipping at my shoelaces, so I flicked him on the nose and said “no”. usually that does the trick and he’ll go home, but not this time. He just got mad and grabbed my shoe, squeezing my foot inside, and started pulling me around. Now I don’t know about you, but when a big huge monster dog bites my foot, I smack it on the nose. Well, this didn’t work, it just made him madder. So I made my way over to the gate at the garden so I could get inside the fence, kicked Bull in the head and disappeared in the tall grass. I snuck up to the house and that was all the fun that Bull could have with my foot that night.
A few days later Bull came over and was picking on Josiah, so I got onto him about it and he started barking, it was the meanest bark I had ever heard come from his mouth. So I looked at him and asked if that was supposed to scare me (if it was, he was doing a good job), then I started growling and ran towards him and he ran off with his tail between his legs. Bull doesn’t bother me anymore. Okay, enough of the dog.
Last night was our Christmas party at Riverwalk church (our apartment ministry), lots of kids and a few moms came. It was pretty fun. Dan and Andy played Christmas songs almost the whole time. Luke came to “help out”, I think he came more for Lana though. After it was over Luke and I cleaned up the leftover M and Ms.
I have all my Christmas shopping done, WHOOHOOO!! FIVE DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS!! Okay, I think that’s all.
Btw, I went to the orthodontist this morning and he said I get my braces off in mid Feb!!

Turkey Bowling and Christmas-Time

One teenage boy can make the difference. One boy can win the prize. One boy can be the turkey-bowl champion.
I am that boy. Say hello to the turkey-bowl champion of 2007!
Luke took Lana and me to a County-line basketball game last night, we only got to see the last half though.
After that we stayed for the fifth quarter activities(I shouldn’t say stayed for, fifth quarter was the reason we went). After goofing off for a while, it was time for turkey bowling. We divided into three teams and whittled it down to the final four finalists. I was the only one to get a strike, so I WON! The prize was a brand new frozen turkey (no idea when we are going to eat it, but we really will) plus bragging rights. After that Luke led some worship songs and then gave a devotion/lesson thing.
My family finally got ornaments on our tree today. We’ve had the tree for weeks, just haven’t put decorations on it. Christmas is 10 days away!! I still have some presents to buy, mainly for Jeremiah and Josiah. We’ve got Christmas with my dad’s family on the 22nd and my mom’s family on the 23rd. It’ll be pretty busy till after the holidays. I’m not sure if we’re doing anything for New Year’s Eve, but even if it’s just my family it’ll still be busy. Chemistry class this Monday, but then we get the next few weeks off. School’s out whoohoo!
Turkey -bowl champ, signing out . MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
