Organizing Cards

Sorry I didn't do the post last night. My mom, my uncle, and I were catching up on American Idol. At the same time we were doing volunteer hours for my school by wrapping the napkins around the silverware and tying a bow around it. We worked while we watched 4 episodes and have A LOT more to do. I'll post a picture of that later.

These are my basketball cards. I got a lot of them from my brother but a lot of them were mine too. Some of my best are Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Moses Malone, and Kobe Bryant. I have a lot more.

Working late

This is a picture of the meatloaf that we had for dinner last night.  My mom had to work late tonight, so I did my homework at her office.  She had leftover meatloaf at work and I had spicy soup her work friend

gave me.

Oops

I took my picture for yesterday's daily photo.  After that, I got busy playing with my baseball cards and reading a book. 

Cookies

My mom made cookies for me because I finished my homework early. I finished my slave report 3 days early. We are also celebrating cookies because my Uncle Robert came over. He is going to fix my toilet. I am sooooooooo happy he came over because we haven't seen them in a long time

Dinner at Pedros

Hot yummy chocolate

I am starting a new thing on my blog called Daily Photo. I hope you like it.



This is my usual order at Peets.

Lucky Died

This year we found out that Lucky's tracheal paralysis was paralyzed. We thought he would die earlier, but luckily he didn't. Still I didn't like the timing. He died the day before Christmas Eve, while I was away in Los Angeles. I wasn't the first to know. BoBo was on the phone with my mom the day Lucky died. BoBo and mom agreed that we need to give him the medicine to die. He didn't cry on the outside, but I could tell he was crying on the inside. Lucky was BoBo's dog. He died around Christmas just like my dad's daughter did. I guess God has to take people out out of the world.

Nerf Fight

Today I had a Nerf fight with my brother. My brother and I got Nerf guns and bullets for the guns. We had a wonderful fight and will fight again.

Gingerbread Manger

Today, both our 5th grade classes made gingerbread houses. But mine was more like a gingerbread manger. How this all happened was one graham cracker fell on top of the graham cracker walls and another fell and knocked down a different graham cracker wall. I was gone while it happened. So the icing made all of the graham crackers stick. That's how I got a gingerbread manger.

thinking...

I've been thinking about Dad, Jessica, BoBo, and Lucky.

My mom gave me a Hurdy Gurdy music box that was in the garage. It used to be my dad's. It plays Silent Night, and whenever I hear it I think about him. I miss him a lot.

I also think about his daughter, Jessica. She lived for only three days and died on Christmas Day. Sometimes I think about her when I hear Christmas music playing. I never knew her but I wish that I did. I don't even have a picture of her.

I've also been thinking of BoBo a lot. He wants to go to the Navy or Air Force. I'm scared and hope he won't die.

For Lucky, that has always been there for me. He's been breathing like Darth Vadar lately which means that he is going to die soon. He has a problem with his throat. When he breaths like Darth Vadar, it hurts him. That's what the vet said. But it also hurts me.

I don't want to lose anyone else in my family.

School frustration

I am frustrated with school. It is too hard. I got a white slip yesterday and another one today. We get white slips and pink slips for not finishing our homework. I've been trying to do all of my homework but I sometime forget things, for to write it down. I am supposed to ask my teacher to look that I've written it all down but I forget that too sometimes.

At the end of the day, I have a hard time concentrating on the homework. Some times I want to make it perfect and sometimes I need more brain food. The homework is also hard. Hopefully, I will be able to fix these problems soon.

Trading

Little C and me traded Pokemon cards this weekend. I got some good cards. We had a whole lot of fun. We also tried to hit the Strike Zone in the backyard.

I wanted to play with him again on Monday but my mom took me shopping instead. I got a new watch so it wasn't so bad.

Ending Summer

A lot has happened since I last wrote:

- I went to some cool camps.
- I broke my arm.
- I went to Los Angeles and visited my aunties, brother, and cousins.
- I had my 11th birthday.
- I went back to school.

I am going to try to blog more but school might get in the way.

Darth Vader

My dog, Lucky has been breathing weirdly (like Darth Vader) for a while. We took him to the vet and found out that a part of his body that helps move when he breathes fast doesn't work right. His is paralyzed. This means that he going to die soon. We hope he can stay forever but he can't. Hopefully he will be able to stay for the rest of the year. I love him and I am sad that he is going to die.

iFly

Me and my mom's friend went to indoor skydiving (iFly).

We saw a video before the session and learned what to do. We got dressed up all in the suit, had to wear earplugs, a helmet, and goggles. The first picture is what I looked like in my suit.

There was a big airplane propeller that was hidden under the screened floor so you wouldn't hit it. There was a guy in the booth that was making the air go at a certain speed so that you wouldn't blast all the way to the top. There was also an instructor to make sure your position was right so that you wouldn't get hurt.

The instructor did tricks at the end and the guy in the booth made the speed higher for him than it was for all of us. Flying was really fun. I hope I can go again someday.

Olympics

It was Olympic day at daycamp. We played games, had races, and did relay races. I got this crown for winning the most points of all the kids 10-12 years old.

Man Camping at Big Trees

My mom and I went camping at Big Trees with the P family and C. On the first day, only me, Mr. P and his son, Plungdog went. We called it Man Camping because it was all men.

We did cool man things:
- Fishing
- Swimming at the river
- Football
- Eating surf and turf
- Messing up the tent
- Had a campfire
- Ate smores

The ladies came the next day. We did more of the same things plus we floated down the currents, told scary stories, and ate yummy food.

I caught a little fish but I had to put it back. Plungdog caught a bigger fish (see picture) that we ate for dinner.

Camp K

In June, I went to Camp K. This camp is for kids who have had a parent with cancer. I've been going since the year my dad died (2007) and this was my 3rd time. I saw some old friends and made new ones. I was away from home for 7 days. I had a lot of fun but my mom missed me.

My Two Big Brothers

Today was the last day of school. Right after school we flew to Los Angeles to see you two big brothers. BoBo had grown so much that I didn't even recognize him.

It was a quick trip. We went to see cousins, played card games, went to the dog park with Sydney, and ate yummy food. Then I had to fly back to go to Camp Kesem. I hope I can see my big brothers again really soon.

I've got eyes in the back of my head
