Spying on Mom

Me and my friends tried to get the dogs inside my closet with us so we could spy on my Mom. First, we kept the dogs inside so that they couldn't get in the way then she would know that we were spying on her. She was in garage. We were upstairs in my room, in my closet trying to get the dogs there. Then we got out and the dogs stayed inside. She almost saw us right when she came out but we hid in this certain spot where there are a lot of jackets. It was the downstairs closet. We couldn't find the attic. The dogs didn't get out but then we opened the door to get something and Ronin got out. He didn't chew up any of my things because the light was off so he couldn't find anything. It was fun.

Auto Show

Today, we went to the auto show with Al & Lois.


This is Al and me next to his Ferrari.
Isn't it cool?

We saw all kinds of cars.
Some were pretty cool like this painted car.
I had a lot of favorites like the Bugatti, the Porsche, and the Mustang.
I got to sit in the cars.
I took lots of pictures and even played games.
We saw cars that go on electricity and natural gas too.

OMG

Look at all of the places that my readers are from! Pretty cool, huh?

Blog 365

It's hard to keep up with the blogging because I have school, I have recess, I have to eat lunch, and do my homework. I have to eat dinner. I have to go to hospice.

It is hard to post every day for the blog 365. So my posts might be late sometimes, but I will try to do one for everyday.

I hope this is okay.

My dogs

Lucky is a very patient, cool, and a good dog but he isn't a playful dog. Ronin is a really playful dog but sometimes he gets so playful that he is out of control.

Best Shot Monday

My brother's work

Today was when my brother had to go to work. We picked him up at night time and he was still in work. So we just waited in the car and saw what he was doing. He had a pretty fun job but then we saw his friends come look in the window. We were wondering why they were there. Conor was surprised to see them looking at him through the window. He didn't know that we were looking through the window too.

Conor was collecting ballons to give on to each kid at the Birthday party. Then he cleaned windows and stacked up chairs. He even got a $20 tip (he had to split with the other girl). He has a really good job.

Cute picture

Look close

Look close at this photo for the Spiderwick Chronicles movie. Do you see someone that you know?

YMCA

Today, I went to YMCA. We played games on miniclip. We went outside. I read my book. We ate lunch, and I played fooz ball a lot.

It's a new year

On New Years Eve, we went to my friends house. We ate ice cream, had cookies, watched a little TV, and played. At midnight, we all put on our New Years Eve hat and did the count down until New Years. Then we went outside to see the fireworks.

Happy New Year!

Mom and me

My Chicago Marathon Experience

I went to Illinois with my Mom, who was going to be running in the Chicago Marathon. We stayed with family and had a fun time in the days before the race. We even went to the race expo with my Mom.

The expo was cool. It had tons of food, and it had sports games that we played, and we got this foam toy that was shaped like a police badge.

The night night before the race my brothers, Dylan and Conor, Tash, my Mom and my cousins, Alex and Jake all got together. We walked on the pier where there was an old Tucker car that had sank underwater years ago. There were people dressed up in costumes. One of them scared a little girl. Then we went for pizza. It was good but I didn't get to finish it because we ordered three pizzas and this guy gave me a gumball.

My Mom spent the night in a hotel that night and we went back to my other cousins (Kelly, Brendan, Kasey, Jess, and Bradey) house. My cousins Cloe and Connor don't live there but they are always there so it seems like they live there too. Also, Sarah and Ryan D were there a lot too.

On race day, my Mom was already running when Dylan, Tash, Cloe, Jess, Conor, and I got on train. The train ride was long because a train got stuck on the tracks and our train had to push it to Chicago.

By the time we got to the race course my Mom was already past where we were going to see her (mile 13). She called us and told us that she wasn't running a fast as she wanted to because it was too hot and there were too many people.

It was so hot out that when we were walking we were sweating a lot. We were thristy too. We went to McDonalds and then to the finish line to wait for my Mom.

Right when we got there they called the race off. They closed the race down half way through. My Mom was already past the half way spot. She called to tell us that she was going to run the rest of the way. We went to the hotel to wait because my Mom told us to because it was so hot.

Before my Mom finished we went to eat in the dining room. We ate a lot of food. My Mom came and she was wearing a medal. We finished our food and saved some for my Mom. She ate it all up.

After that, we went to the train station and went back to Kelly's. Later we got on the plane to come back home.

4th Grade Art

In 4th grade we did this thing where you write your name in cursive on this peice of paper on both sides of a folded piece of paper. When you unfold the paper it makes a neat design.

We also made a cool scarecrow for the Fall festival. Our class scarecrow won the contest. My 1st grade teacher won the drawing for our class scarecrow.

How My Dad Died

One day while I was in bed my Dad had a stroke. We charged down the stairs wondering what happened. I missed it but my Mom saw it. So she took him to the hospital.

Later we found out that he had lunch cancer. It was worse than that. The cancer spread to his brain and a lot of bones. He didn't eat much but oh when he ate those chocolate cookies he went "mmmmmm."

One day he told us something. He told us, "when I die I'll always love you and be close to each other, try and be good friends," he said.

One afternooon when I arrived home my brother Dylan and my Mom met me outside and told me that my Dad died.

I miss him.

Happy Birthday Ryan

I had a birthday on Tuesday. I am now 9 years old.

First, my Mom took the whole family horseback riding. My horse's name was JD. My Mom's horse was named Poncho. Tash was on Taunto. Conor had Chevy, and Dylan rode on a big horse that I cannot remember his name.

It was fun but I kept thinking that I might fall off of the track. And you could die if you fell off of the track. The track pretty much took us in a big circle through trees. I wish that we had a horse for real life. That would be cool. Don't you think?

At my birthday party I invited my friends (who are my neighbors) and my family and my cousins. They all came. My Nanny and Aunts brought food to share. It was all yummy.

All of the kids ran around the house playing games and screaming. It was fun. One of the games we played was hide and go seek. While we counting, me and Jasmine were playing games on our DS. When we were done counting we paused the game.

One time we couldn't find Brendan. We looked all over. After, we found out that he was going poop. Lil' Conor had the best hiding spot. He hid in the car.

I got some cool presents. Al gave everyone each a toy car so everyone got a present. My presents were money, a gift card for Game Stop, clothes, some video games, and my own golf clubs.



I had a really good birthday.
