Cousins!!!!!!!!

For the past week my cousins Annika and Isaac have been visiting us from Utah. This is very exciting due to the fact it has been months since the last time we saw them. We were even more excited when they stayed at our house from Thursday until Saturday.  We went on a lot of fun field trips with them, but the one that was the most fun was going to downtown Portland and playing in a giant fountain for about an hour and thirty minutes. We also went to an art museum and got ice cream at the restraint my dad works at, McCormick & Schmitz(I apologize for any spelling errors).  We also went to Easter Short Park, a fun park with an awesome water feature, and had a great time there. We also got to go to a wonderful barbecue and there, we had a truly epic water fight. We have had such a fun time with them and I hope we will get to do lots more before they go back to Utah.

Christmas Time!

         It's Christmas time! The season of giving and joy! But also the time of presents. I know I had a great Christmas. I got two new video games. the Lego Hobbit game and Nintendo Land. They also gave me a new camping pack that came with, two flashlights, a pair of small binoculars, and a water bottle . They also gave me a water cleaning experiment kit. It was fun to use. It changed water that had a clump of mud and oil in it to perfectly clear. But the best present of all was a trip to Hawaii. My mom and dad wrapped up two floaties for Ella and Abby. And she got two new life jackets for me and Avery. My other favorite part of Christmas was a cap gun that I regularly use to scare my sisters and the look on my sisters face when she saw the gag box my mom had wrapped up my video games in. The box said, Extreme Chores the Video game. I laughed really hard and Avery looked very stunned.


    MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     


  

science fair

A few weeks ago are class did a science fair. Everyone had a different question that they made up. My question was,  witch cereal has the most iron. I tested Kix, Life , Bran Flakes, and Honey Nut Cheerios. Kix had the most iron in it.

     The hardest part was making the board. It took gluing, cutting, and a lot of trial and error. But finally we did it. Fortunately it worked out nicely. 

     I unfortunately didn't get an award but I still had a good time. I can't wait for next year when we do it again. 

New Year Beach Trip

This is from our first and only trip down to the beach.The water was really cold , this was the reason we only went down once.

This pictureis of me riding the caracell in the mall . Aferwords I was very dizzy

We had a fun time in the hotel pool. The water was warm and I was happy about this because it was really nice to git in after playing in the ice cold ocean water.

One of my favorite parts was rideing this bike with my cousens around the city. And I learned how hard it is to drive. 

Christmas

This christrmas was fun. Manly because of all the snow. We even built a snowman! We named him waffle. Also we had afun time at our cousen chistmas party. We opened presents and I got a book about the grosses moments in history. I love it. I can't wait until next year.

Halloween

This Halloween was really fun. Also I had a great costume. I was a Ghostbuster! My dad spent all afternoon making a ghost vacuum, complete with lights and pack. The only flaw was that the gun was really heavy. It was a big pain lugging that around all night. But I still loved that costume. I might be it next year too.
   I also got a lot of candy. Me and my friend Carder had a fun time "luting" the houses of candy. My bag being so full was really heavy. That added on to the Ghostbuster gun being heavy too. So next year I'm sort of hoping for less candy.

Camping

This summer we went camping with my cousins at a place called Camp Creek.We had an awesome camp site because it was right next to a big forest.Me and my cousins had a really fun time in the forest.Also the smores we had were awesome.I can not wait until we go camping again!   

Hawaii

Hawaii  was my favorite thing we did this summer.We got to do a lot of fun things like we went body surfing and I went snorkeling.Even though I saw lots of awesome fish wail I was snorkeling my favorite activity was body surfing.I just love riding the waves.

The Egg

This is a story I wrote at school...

It all started one bright summer morning in July.  School had just ended and my birthday was coming up.  I thought I was going to have a nice quiet day.  Boy was I wrong.  I was sitting on the front porch licking a nice cold strawberry popsicle when I saw an enormous rock. "That wasn't there before," I thought.  So I went over to check it out.  But as I got closer, I was strange lightening bolt marks on the rock.. That was no rock.  That was a massive egg!  And when I say massive, I mean Massive.  It was the size of a bulldozer   What What could be inside?  A giant bird, king kong, maybe even an elephant   As i was thinking, a few cracks appeared on the egg.  Then ore cracks appeared and more and more.  Until finally it split in half.  A huge bolt of lightening  burst from the egg.  Ka boom!  I was blasted backwards.  When I looked up, I was amazed.  There, right in front of me was a huge dragon!

I twas the size of a whale.   "Hello," I said nervously.  It made a cooing sound in the back of it's throat.  "It's a baby," I said surprised.  "I wonder how big it is fully grown?"

"Jacob," my Mom called, "time for your piano lesson."

"I will be back soon," I said and then I rushed inside.

That night strange noises woke me up.  I looked up sleepily then there was a flash of light out side.  I slipped into my slippers and tiptoed down stairs   When I got outside the dragon ran up to me and said, "we have to get out of here," in a deep gravely voice.

"How did you grow so fast?"

"That's not important right now," he said, "we have to get out of here."  So I hopped on his back and we soared away.

"What was that about?"  I asked.

"The evil wizard is after my magic," said the dragon, "by the way, my name is Storm Breaker.  Let's go to my cloud.  We will be safe there.

At his lightening cloud we dried to think of ways to defeat the wizard.  Then I saw a yellow crystal glowing in the moonlight.  "What does that do?" I asked.

"It transports people," Storm Breaker said.

"I have it!"  I yelled.  "We could trick the Wizard into touching he crystal!"

So we set up a big trap and waited for the Wizard to arrive.  When he got there he was surprised to see a big roller coaster.  "I think I"ll go on a ride before I defeat the dragon."  So he got in thecard and before he could ist down the roller coaster took off with amazing speed.  The Wizard screamed like a little girl as he went around twists and turns.  Finally it stopped.  The Wizard was about to get out when the crystal fell into his cart.

"Noooooooooooo!" He screamed, as he vanished in a flash of yellow light.

"Good bye,"  I told my friend an hour later.  "I hope I will see you soon.  Brake some storms for me."  And with one last wave he breathed on me and everything went black.

Th next day I woke up in my bed wondering if it was all just a dream when I felt something in my hand.  I looked down and sitting on my palm was a shiny scale.  A dragon scale.

Todays Piano Lesson

School

I have been going to school for the last 2 months.  I like school because it's fun to go to and I make a lot of friends.  I like doing the subjects.  It gives me something to do during the day.  It keeps me from being bored during the day.

At recess I usually play Call Duty Black Ops with some kids.  I mostly play with Kyler Ross.  Call Duty Black Ops is when you battle zombies.  

My favorite subject is silent reading.  During silent reading we go mostly anywhere in the room and read silently in the room to ourselves.  I usually bring my Harry Potter book and read that to myself.  Our teacher has some books that most of the class uses. I really like school and I hope I can go next year too.

Taxidermy Museum

Yesterday I went to see a taxidermy collection.  There were four rooms. 

 The first room we went into was his overflow room where he kept some of the big stuff.  He had an elk head, a moose head. 

 In the second room, it was the biggest room, inside the room,  He had a man-made whole body of a hippo but with real hippo teeth.  He also had a big electric elephant head that when you pressed a button on a remote control, it flapped it's ears.  If you press another button, it will spray water on you from it's trunk. 

 In the third room, he had a whole body of a fake buffalo.   There was a trap door inside it.  When you open it, there is drawer full of glasses of water.  He had two fake wolves in there. 

 In the fourth room, he had another moose head.  He had a zebra skin and some bear skins.  We had a really fun time. 

Chess Club

Yesterday, we went to a thing called Chess Club.  Chess club is at the library.  My friend Alfred goes to it.  We had a very fun time.

I like chess because it's a good thing to do when you're bored.  I  like moving the pieces.  My favorite piece is the rook.

The Dog Show

Yesterday we went to a dog show.  We came with Nana.

They had different booths where you could meet different kinds of dogs.  My favorite dog was a big sheep dog named puzzles.  They also had a place where you could watch the dogs do obstacle courses.  A little wiener dog once went on the track.  It was really cute.  At the end when we were walking out, we met a dog with a tutu on.  That was also really cute.  We had a really fun time.

The Rock Gym

I went to a place called the Circuit Gym.  It's a rock climbing place.  It's filled with a bunch of rock walls.  One of them has a slide on top.  You have to climb the sides to get to the slide.  There is another rock wall that you can go on top of.  But you have to climb it to get up there.

We went with Dylan, A.J., Connor, Makayla, Jeff, and Nana.  We had a really fun time. 

White Fang

We have been reading a book called White Fang. It's about a wolf and the story of his life. These are the things that White Fang does best: fighting, smelling, hunting, and he's really sensitive.

My favorite part is when he get's mad at his owner's mother for hugging him. I think it's funny.

At first they were calling him the grey cub.  Then some inidans found him and named him White Fang.  The one who named White Fang was named Grey Beaver. 

Here are some of the important things that happened to him: at first the indian named Grey Beaver owned him and was really mean to him.  Then he got sold to another mean guy named Beauty Smith.  Then a guy named Scott bought him and he was really nice to him.  Then he married another dog and had puppies.  

This was one of the funnest books I have ever read so far. 

I went to visit my Grandma and Grandpa.  I went to a lot of fun places with them.  First we went to the dinosaur park.  Then we went to the airplane museum. Then we went to Boondock's.

The Dinosaur Museum was really fun.  The fun thing about it was that it had a playground in the middle with a big fake tree that you could go inside of. 

The fun thing about the airplane museum was that it had a bunch of airplanes hanging from the ceiling and down on the floor. 

My favorite part of Boondocks was lazer tag. 

We also went to the planetarium and saw an IMAX movie about a space satellite named Hubble.  It took lots of pictures of galaxies.  

Mosasaur

A Mosasaur was a reptile, not a dinosaur.  It started out as lizard and was forced to flee into the water and evolved into the Mosasaur.

A Mosasaur is vicious.  He will eat anything in it's way.  Sharks can kill and eat it.  If two Mosasaurs run into each other, they will try to kill each other.  Sometimes they kill things just because they are vicious.

This is how a Mosasaur died. They think there was a 60 foot comet that hit the earth.  It made a giant cloud of dust that blocked the sun entirely.  It wiped out 75% of the dinosaurs.  Half of the food chain was destroyed.  Especially the animals in the ocean.   

Scouts

I have been going to something called Scouts.  I have already wrote about Scout Camp.  This week we had smores  and shot Nerf guns at each other with foam bullets. It was reallyy fun.  The kids that go there are Zach, Broch, Jimmy, TJ S., TJ N., Cooper, Ethan, Andrew, Jacob Feik.  One time we played water balloon volleyball.
