Aliens!!!!!

Hello!

Okay, so, since I have not been posting blogs as much as I'd like to, I decided to set up a schedule to be writing. Every week just check in and there will most likely be a blog post. Anyway, the topic today is on meteors.

We had a bunch of meteors going across the sky and it went on for two days! The first night there was a lot but I wasn't there to see it. My dad was--dang it!!!! But then the second night our whole family went outside and laid on a blanket with our dog April. It got so cold that half of our family left, ha--wimps. Me, my sister Belle, and my awesome dad stayed outside.

My dad and Belle were freezing, but I was very warm because I was huddled up next to April, my dog. We saw 5 or 6 meteors until the biggest, baddest one of all. I call it Mr. Jupiter. Da, Da Da!!!!!!! Mr. Jupiter was so big that it left a trail behind him. I think Mr. Jupiter was actually a U.F.O! What if these weird bald guys came out of their super high tech vehicle thing? And, no, I'm not talking about my dad.

My saying for the day is if you ever see an alien, it might just be your dad.

The Best Dog Name Ever!

I got a dog!!!!!!

Our family finally got our own dog!!!

We got it from the pound, but surprisingly, she is very nice and calm and is very well trained. Her name is April. We were going to name her Death Star, but she was already named so we could not change it.

Me and my dad have a secret plan. We will slowly transition her name into Death Star. First, we will go from April to Apith, and then, we will go from Beth Gar and then Death Star!!!!

Sometimes,  when no one is out there with her,  she will howl as loud as she can and when she does, I think there is a giant wolf waiting for us to come outside so that it can eat us.

Another time she was able to get up into our play ground, but was too scared to get down so we had to push her down the big slide--and when we were trying to push her down, I was on the slide too trying to get her down with a dog treat, but then my sister hurried and pushed her down onto me and we both fell down the slide together!

My saying for the day is: If you hate your name, you can always change it to something better like Death Star.

(She wouldn't my Death Star hat)

Five Surgeries Won't Bring This 9 Year Old Down!

Hello!!!!!!!!!!!

Surgery was a punch to my face!!!!!

Why? Because I was in the hospital for four days but it felt like a million years. I had a lot of pain in my back, the bed was uncomfy (it probably didn't help that I threw up on it once or twice, I don't really remember), and the pills were too big to swallow. 

The nurses and doctors were very nice. One of them brought me a bunch of colored sand so I could make these cool animal prints. Some red sand spilled on me and it looked like I was bleeding! At least it was sparkly blood. 

The best part of the surgery is when I got home. It was nice to see my whole family, but the greatest part is I was able to walk again and even run sometimes! I feel so much better compared to my fourth surgery! I am back in school. Today I made it all day!! 

Some of my goals for this summer are running lots, play baseball and soccer, ride lots of horses, and play with every animal I can get my hands on. 

My saying for the day is: Sometimes life can be really tough, but in order to get to the easy parts, you have to go through the bad parts. And it's worth it!

I have to have surgery again??? But I'm little!!

Sorry!!!!!!!

I have been very busy for a while and couldn't write much!!!  ;)

I have been caught up in all of this medical stuff! Just a couple days ago I found out that I was going to get another surgery-very soon--to fix my dumb tethered cord!! Mostly because I cannot walk any more:(  I am back to the wheelchair. I can't believe that this is my 5th surgery!!!

But enough of dumb medical stuff. Some cool things I got to do is see the new Cinderella movie. I thought it was really cute and funny and encouraging. I also started playing the Cello. I love it so much and think it is the prettiest instrument I've ever seen! I also went to Boston and loved how the big shiny buildings reflected off of each other.

Most of all I got to watch all of the Harry Potter's in a row again. If I had to choose between Clark Kent and Harry Potter, I would choose Harry Potter (I can't believe I just said that!). Harry Potter just has a more interesting life. And he has a scar like me, but in a different place.

The saying for the day is: If you don't like Harry Potter, then you clearly have problems. Seriously. You may want to see a doctor.

This is a cello!!!

My Big Brother, the Ninja-Beater-Upper

Grant is my older brother. He is 13 years old. He wants to be a...well, he said a janitor so....???

Anyway his favorite sports are football, soccer, poker (??) and I guess gambeling? I think he was kidding. His favorite animal is a snake. His favorite vehicle is a dirt-bike, which our parents said he could have if he gets straight A's so I guess he is never getting one.

I think Grant is very funny, like sometimes he sings Katy Perry songs in the shower! He is a great short, big brother who would most likely beat up a black belt ninja to save me from ... well, something.

My saying for the day is: sometimes older brothers can be annoying, but just love them anyway.

Lady Liberty's Nose

I really like the school I go to because the people there are really nice. Like my last year's teacher was really awesome because she let us have tons of free time, but that doesn't mean I'm a dummy for it. She taught me about Lady Liberty and that her nose between her eyes is as long as a fifth grader. I wonder what I would do if I was on Lady Liberty's face?

This year I like school because I have smart and fun friends. Sometimes it's hard at recess, though, because I can't play on the toys like everyone else, but I like to watch the boys play kickball.

I love to learn about history and living things. I do not like to learn about math because 1 + 1 is two and so what???

My saying for the day is: If you don't like school, stay home and eat junk food.

My special friend Chip.

We have a chipmunk that has been living in our yard ever since we first moved here. I became friends with him when I was going down the stairs (when I was walking good), and he ran in front of me into a small hole in the rocks. I named him Chip.

I like Chip because he's very cute and fast. One time we were running up from our secret hideout, and I saw Chip running along the rocks. My sister tried to throw a ball at him, but he went underneath a big rock. He's smart.

I did a little research and found out that chipmunks hibernate in the winter and need tons and tons of food when they wake up. So I decided to build a small house over his hole in the ground with lots of food inside. They next day all the food was gone!!! I'm sure Chip took it. Do you like my house?

My saying for the day is: If you have a hole in your yard, don't stick your hand in it. Trust me. It's not always a chipmunk's home.
