First Snow!

We woke up Sunday morning to the first snow of the year. So Sunday afternoon we played for an hour in the snow. My mom came outside to take some pictures and we hit her 10 times (see picture) with snowballs. Today, the snow is still here but will probably be gone by tomorrow.

Gingerbread Castle

Thursday (aka Thanksgiving Day) my cousins, my brother and I made a gingerbread castle. It was fun to build. We bought some toy knights and a horse and put them in the castle. When we celebrate Christmas we get to eat it! YUM.

Thanksgiving

On Thanksgiving we went to Kansas City to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. My cousin Jake and I ate a turkey leg each (see picture). We had a lot of fun playing wii, dart tag
and making a gingerbread castle (see other post) with my cousins.

Deer

Saturday night I got a deer. He is okay in horn size and we got about 60 pounds of meat out of him. I had a great time.

What ? Wednesday

Today Mom and Dad went to a seminar at the Sprint Center. Tony Gonzalez was a speaker there. Here are a few things he said: one of his favorite moments as a Chiefs player was when he was at the Denver game in 08. When he got the wind knocked out of him, the crowd chanted, "Tony, Tony, Tony" and it felt like they were lifting him of the ground. He also said that to be successful, you should love what you do. If you only do as much as everyone else, you will be just like everone else and will not excel. My mom and Dad droped us off at my piano teacher's house at 6 am. We had a lot of fun there and had piano lessons because it was the day we normally took them. I got to play with Nathan and Sarah. I learned how to play some new card games.

Gary's Hat

Last night, Susan Bomar, the wife of my good friend Gary stopped by at church. Gary is my friend who went to church with us before moving to Arizona where he lived just a few weeks because of how bad his cancer was. He was very special to me because he liked the same things I liked and took the time to get to know me. I really miss him. He had wanted his wife, Susan, to give me his brand-new Stetson hat, so she brought it to me last night. It came in a really big, neat Stetson box. I will cherish it forever.

Bracelet

Well, I made it less than one day before I lost my 'rude and disrespectful' bracelet, and haven't earned it back since. However, I am doing OK so far today. Hopefully, I can keep it for longer than a day next time!!

What ? Wednesday

This week I've been learning about the election. It's very interesting. Last night I learned about electoral votes. I can't belive Obama won.

Complaining

My parents are complaining that I complain too much. :-) We are starting this thing were we have bracelets and they remind us about complaining and rudeness. Each time we complain or talk rudely, we get a bracelet taken away and if we keep our bracelets for a week, we get a prize.

Halloween

Friday night we went trick-or-treating. I was a cowboy and my brother was Cat in the Hat. The first stop we made was my Grandma Colleen's house. She gave us some candy. I got alot of candy that night and got to see my old soccer coach. The next night I went to my friend from my soccer team's Halloween party and we had tons of fun.
