We're in Pennslvanya

A couple days ago we flew into Pennsylvania and then we drove three hours and forty-five minutes to my grammy's house. I slept most of the time, but that's what my mom said.

The next few days until right now we were put hard to work lifting heavy bags,dressers and desks into a big trash can. After that the painting came. We painted Dan's section of the room first then the down stairs bathroom, then we painted the other section in Glenn's "room" and while they (my aunt& brothers) I tore out a big old carpet that ran down the stairs and had lots of nail row after row. I got poked at least four times.

And now uncle Dan is painting the ceiling of the living room. We're painting the house white although it is white in some places but you can see a lot of difference when you paint with the new paint.

Going back! and its happy memories

I am exited to go to Salt Lake City. We are going on a plane to Pennsylvania. We have a layover in Denver which is some where I haven't been before! One time when we were in Chicago on a layover I was so excited to call my uncle Cameron because he lived in Chicago. I bothered my dad so much about talking to him that he just pulled out his phone and we called him. We were only able to leave a message though before we had to board the plane.

Since then I have seen my Uncle Cameron so many times I can't count. The first time that I saw him in a long time, we decided to wright a book that was on E-mail.

Helm's Deep

A couple of days ago we made Helm's Deep. We found some rope and tackle and we hauled up a ladder near the window of the tree house. Each of the boys had a turn. When it was my turn I made it to the top but I ended up being stuck on my belt loop. I stayed there for about five minutes trying to get it off. When I made it to the top I fought Jared with my high impact battle sword. An Orc (me) doesn't last long against Aragorn (Jared) though! It was fun.

Our Trip to Virginia and Wahington, DC

This is what I wrote in my journal about the family trip we just took.....

Today is Monday as you might know. I will tell why I have not written this journal for ten days. That is because our family went on a trip. It was really fun. I loved it! We had a long drive, but we had a good night's rest the night before we left. We stayed in Salt Lake City. The airport was right next to our hotel.

We flew to Atlanta the next day and then on to Norfolk, Virginia. We flew on Delta. It is one of my favorite planes to fly on. Our plane had TV screens at each seat. We watched Animal Planet. When we landed we rented a car and drove to our hotel and had a good night's sleep.

For the next few days we went to famous houses of the President's plus the White House. Then we spent three days on the beach. Then we flew out. I am glad to be home.

I finished my book. Here's my review.

The Ruins of Gorlan by John Flanagan


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the first book in my life that impressed me. My most favorite part in the book was when they killed the bore. I thank my mother for letting me read this book. And I thank John Flanagan for writing this book.

Jon Schmidt

I love Jon Schmidt music! I've added a whole playlist of just his music. There are even three versions of our family's most favorite song ever-LOVE STORY/VIVA LA VIDA. Just stick around and listen as it starts to play. ENJOY!

Pen pal Mail!

We got our pen pal mail today! Caleb, Jared and I have pen pals. It was great reading about my pen pal! He is from Texas. Having a pen pal is so fun!
