A SUPER Playdate!

The whole team!

Playdate Tomorrow

Tomorrow, Luke is coming over. Luke is my friend from church. He likes basketball just like me. He also likes video games just like me, but he just has one. (but that's still ok)

We will play Transformers and Fusion Frenzy on our XBOX when he comes. We are getting ready to paint Caroline's room, and after that we will do my room. I don't think we will play in the living room tomorrow, because all of Caroline's stuff is in there. (but it might be clean by then)

A Fun Day at the Schroers

We had a fun yesterday. At 3:00 we went to our friends to swim and eat and watch fireworks. I am glad I could touch the bottom of their pool this year! We swam until supper time, and after supper I was playing in the sandbox. Daddy came over and told me that at 6:30 we could go back in the pool and have another great time in the pool.

We swam until it was time for fireworks. My eyes got very red even though I wore my goggles a lot. A lot of time in the pool, Daddy said, "No JUMPING!" But once in awhile we started jumping and he didn't say anything about it. I did a kneeling dive and then I told Daddy and he said, "No more DIVING!"

I really loved the fireworks that went up in the air and when they got up as high as they could, they s prayed out in pretty colors.

When we came home from Schroers, we did the rest of our fireworks. I had the biggest firework in our family. They were the roman candles. They are still sticking in our yard today.

Did you have a fun time on the 4th of July at your house?

Buying Fireworks

Last year, when we went to get fireworks, we saw this big t-rex dinosaur by the tent. Look how big it is compared to me and Caroline!

Last year we bought a rocket and when we shot it off, we went to all the neighbors in the neighborhood to look for it after it landed, but we couldn't find it. We said it must have went to the moon!

This year we are going to go to north Lincoln and buy fireworks from our friends from church who have their own tent. I get to spend $10 from Dad and any of my wallet money that I want to use.

Some things I think I will buy are: another rocket, snappers, snakes and a tank. I like sparklers, too. Last year, I made my name with a sparkler. I think Raymond will like doing fireworks with us this year, but he might get a little scared. He will probably like the snappers. When the loud things go off, he will probably go to Mommy.

Swimming Lessons

I really love swimming lessons this year. We do it every year in the beginning of summer. My teacher's name is Ashley. I am in level one.

Yesterday they taught me a kind of float, and I can just do anything that's something to do with float now.

I like to play with the green noodle at the end of swimming lessons each time. It is really fun to float around with the noodle.

I'm glad I'm learning to swim because I like it, I want to be safe, and I want to help other people in the water if they are drowning.

We're going swimming tomorrow...

Even though we've had swimming lessons every day, we have a break off for 4th of July. We get to go swimming anyway!

This is a picture of me last year when we went swimming in the Schroer's pool on the 4th of July. I really hope I can touch the bottom this year...but I don't know yet. I will get to find out tomorrow.

My first blog entry

Because Caroline had a blog, I wanted to make a blog, too. Blogs are good for showing people things, and I have a lot of things I want to show you!

Here are a couple of my favorite things:
Favorite foods- mac and cheese, orange juice
Favorite colors- orange, green and black
Favorite animals- tiger, lion, gorilla
Favorite subject in school- numbers, subtraction
Favorite sport- BASKETBALL!
Favorite things to do with Dad- play Halo, go on bike rides, jump on trampoline, play basketball
Favorite things to do with Mom- play board games, make cookies, brownies and floppy chocolate chip bars, listen to Mom read to me.
Favorite thing to do with Xander- play Halo in the afternoon
Favorite thing to do with Caroline- play house and animals
Favorite thing to do with Raymond- walk along with him holding my finger, and talk with him in his 'language'
With all my brothers & sister I like to play King and Queen. Raymond usually is the little prince, Xander is the servant, and Caroline and me are the King and Queen.
