White House

2007-01-07T10:47:00.000-05:00

Saturday my dad, Connor, McKenzie and I went to a see the White House on a tour. The best part of the tour was the end where we talked these secret service guys. They have to carry 52 pounds of items every time they work! Other than seeing the White House we went up to the top of the Washington Monument.I looked down and every one looked liked ants. We also went to a museum to have lunch and see the exhibits.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

2006-12-22T14:23:00.000-05:00

Merry christmas! This year our tree is only half a tree, because we put it in the T.V. room and needed space so we could still watch T.V. with the tree on. We also have lights on our roof like icecycles, but they keep going down too far. There is a tree shop down the road from our house and a week before christmas they sold all their trees.

Sprained thumb

2006-11-28T14:00:00.000-05:00

The other day I was playing football with some friends.They scored a touchdown and punted the ball to the rest of us.When I went to catch it my friend's head hit my thumb, but I kept playing.Now I have a splint on it, and when I take it off every now and then I can move my thumb without a lot pain.So now me and Connor have had a sprained thumb (but on different hands).

Putting lights up

2006-11-21T17:54:00.000-05:00

The other day Kenzie was trying to put some lights on the pool deck, but she couldn't find a string that worked.She stayed at it though and eventually she fixed a string with lights that worked and put it up.When she came in it was about two hours after we went out there in the first place(which was to put lights on the shed and around the chicken run). When she came in she said she was tired and cold.

Taking the trash for a ride

2006-11-03T14:55:00.000-05:00

Wednesday we went to the dump. The left lane was being paved on the way to the dump and we had to wait for the person to tell us we could go because there were cars going the opposite direction. When we got to the other side of the road work we saw a line of cars waiting to go. When we got the the dump they were closed. My dad said he forgot they were closed on Wednesday.So we took our trash for a ride to and from the dump.

Reffing soccer

2006-10-07T08:47:00.000-05:00

I was supposed to ref soccer today,but due the all the rain we got the games were canceled. I was really looking forward to reffing today. I was scheduled to ref all day today.

Football

2006-09-29T13:36:00.000-05:00

Yesterday I got to play catch with my dad. I'm going to play flag football next year. I think I'm going to play wide receiver, so I have to be able to catch the ball. Connor and Tyler want to play too. Taylor doesn't want to play football so he's staying in soccer. Yesterday I also played with Connor. We would throw the ball high enough so the ball would go over our heads or low enough so that we couldn't get it.
