For the past few days we have had continuously good weather although today it was cold. Yesterday and days before that Gwen and I have been spending our time outside skating and doing yard work, but not today. I woke up this morning to get ready for church and then we had breakfast ( by the way it was delicious). Thank you Mom! When I walked outside toward the car I expected that it would be warm but it was cold. I also thought that it would probably warm up later. So we went to church. Church wasn't very long at all or, at least it didn't seem like it. When we got home from church it was still cold and dreary, the clouds were gray and it looked like it was about to rain. I helped Mom make salad and because I didn't feel like eating salad I made myself tomato bread. Later we went to play with our friends Sarah and Rachel but eventually came in because we were hungry. Instead of eating real food, we ate fresh baked cookies (Aunt Theresa's recipe). That's pretty much been my day so far!

Dad's birthday (again)

Today was my Dad's 47th birthday! Unfortunately Gwen and Jonathan's stomachs were hurting so they didn't go to school. Since there are only three of us in Elementary ( Jonathan Gwen and Aleks) and Jonathan and Gwen were sick, I was alone. But it didn't feel really different because on the bus I sit in the last seat and they sit in the front seat. Also my classroom is the last classroom in the whole building and their classes are in the front of the building. I also don't really pass by them in the hall, I do see Jonathan at lunch period though. When I came home Mom, Gwen, and Jonathan weren't there. Apparently they left to run some errands, so I got started on my homework. My homework is usually a lot but I almost always finish it at school, but I didn't finish math. Everyday for math homework we have to work in my math book. My teacher expects us to finish the whole book she said it was because we were a little bit behind in math. After homework was finished I started writing in my book. I am writing a book called "The School Year" and I am trying to make 30 - 50 pages long. So far I have already finished 14 pages and I started yesterday. After that Mom, called she told us to put up streamers and the Happy Birthday sign. So we got started. It was awesome when we finished! I even used streamers to write "Dad" on the door! When Mom got home we unloaded groceries. Mom then left again to buy artichokes, candles, cake, and diet soda for Tory. Mom also bought steak to put on the BBQ for dinner. When Dad arrived at home for work, everybody hid and yelled surprise when he walked in. Mom finished making dinner and Gregory's friend Kyle joined us. After that it was time to have cake and sing Happy Birthday to Dad. I brought my guitar down and played Happy Birthday for him and then we had cake. That was about it! Wow I'm pooped! Hope everybody had a great "Dad's birthday"! Happy Birthday Dad, I love you and thank you!

Fave Foto Friday!

This is a picture of my Dad, Grammy, Poppy, Sydney Debbie, and Uncle Webb in Maui Hawaii. I chose this picture for a few reasons 1. Because I have always wanted to go there. 2. Because I have been looking at these pictures a lot lately, 4. Because I wanted to do a photo of my Dad because it's his birthday, and 5. Because looking at these pictures makes me feel like I was there. So here it is!
