Park

Went to the park today before I went to Kumon. So finished up my homework & then played for a bit.

I did the monkey bars all by myself, mom was there spotting me just in case I needed some help. But I didn't. I did it all myself.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

The other day I asked mom if she knew how to cook a turkey with legs. She said yes, why? I said that I wanted to stay home and not take road trip and make a turkey dinner. Well the day didn't go as I had planned. I was suppose to wake up early and help my mom get the turkey ready and start making the pies and other stuff. Well I slept till noon, only because I stayed up late lastnight watching TV while mom made coleslaw. By the time I got up I had enough time to season the 12 pound bird before mom put it in the cooker. I did help with the marshmellows, I ate all the ones that wouldn't fit on the yams :)

We also burned some leaves in the yard, which was kind of cool until I got smoke in my eyes and it started to burn.

Anyway, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgving and enjoyed time with their family and friends.

Civil War Weekend at the Liendo Plantation

Today mom closed the store and we headed to Hempsted to visit the Liendo Plantation for a Civil War Reenactment.

I had so much fun today that I am planning on joining the 11th Texas Cavalry. After watching the last half of the battle, mom and I shopped. We got ol fashion rootbeer, a wooden riffle, lunch and some things for my camping box. Got to see a felt hat being made, helped a man build a fire the old fashion way, talked to people and found out what they did during the civil war. These people just played parts, they are not original people from the civil war.

I filled out an application and sent it off, so I will keep you posted about what I will be doing in the future with the group. I am also on the hunt for equipment and clothes. I have my own horse, so that is good.

10th Annual Golden Retriever Picnic

I was asked to attend the Golden Retriever's 10th Annual Picnic to sell raffle tickets. I sold a bunch and got to help draw the winners. There was food and cake. I also got to play with some friends too.

Here are some pictures

Mexico Cruise 2009

Mom & I took a cruise out of Galveston, Tx to Mexico. We were gone for five fun filled days. There are not too many pictures because mom forgot to bring the charger for the camera. But I can tell you that we had a total blast. We left on Monday, Nov. th and came back on Saturday, Nov. 14th.

On monday night I got a bit sea sick, so mom made me take a pill to help me not throw up. It didn't work, I puked twice. Once was all over the desk and floor in our cabin. The other I was able to make it to the bathroom, but that was all over the wall and floor. Not a good thing.
The next day we were at sea. I got to swim in the pool, relax in the hot tub and go down the waterslides all day long. We also played bingo.

Our first port was Progreso, Yocatan. We got to go on a tour of the Dzibilchaltun Ruins, Temple of the Dolls and the Franciscan Church which the spanish built. We also got to swim in a huge sink hole called the Cenote Xlakah. That was real cool. When I'm older I can come back and scuba dive in the caverns that spread out from the Cenote.

The next day we went to Cozumel. Mom & I were suppose to swim with the sting rays, but the water was too choppy so we went to a real nice beach. We got to have real mexican food for lunch which was good. I got to swim and mom took me out the a reef so that I could snorkle. I ment a boy from New York and we played and swam a little bit. I don't think he knew how to swim.

We ate in the formal dining room and everynight I got to get up and dance with the staff. That was so much fun. Every morning I would have eggs and baccon and sausage and apple juice. I would rather have pineapple juice, but they didn't have any so I just ate pineapples.

Mom dropped me off at the Carnival Kids Club so she could go and do some stuff, but we mostly hung out by the pool.

When we were in the ports we did alot of shopping too.

here are some pictures.

Trick-or-Treat on Halloween

This year I was Batman for Halloween. As always, I asked Grandma for a costume and she delivered a great one as usual. Mom got a Batman pail for my candy. So I matched from head to toe this year. Way to go guys!!!

I was suppose to go with Ashton, but I got in trouble at Raien's birthday party, so Ashley drove me home. So, just like last year we went and visited friends.

We first went to Wendy & Eddies house, then to Marks and then to my yearly haunt at Selena & Mike's. I had fun at W&E's house playing with other kids. And mom did let Eddie take me to a few houses to Trick-or-Treat.

Needless to say, the night was a huge success. I came home with a ton of candy.

A Night in The Forest @ WG Jones State Forest

Even though today is my birthday, I didn't want to do much because I had a huge birthday party at the Aquarium and then I'm going on a cruise.

So tonight we kicked back and went to dinner and then to Jones Forest for "A Night in the Forest" sponsored by the Friends of Texas Wildlife. There was a hay ride thru the forest, games, crafts, food and a whole bunch of fun.

I went in costume to give my batman costume a go before the big day (Halloween). I wanted to makes sure that everything would work good, the cape, belt, shoes and mask. Everything was great and I will look awsome on Halloween!!!

Purple Hair?

Today I dyed my hair purple.
I like it.
Chicks love it!!!
Need I have to say more?

my new moves

On Mondays I am taking dance lessons. This is only my 2nd group lesson, so my mom said I can take a couple of private lessons to get caught up to where the other kids are. I am the youngest in my group class. There is a girl in there that is also young, she is 8. But everyone else is older like 13 and stuff.

I learned the cha cha step today.

My Birthday Party

Had my birthday party at the Downtown Aquarium today. It was super cool. Got to have all my friends around and do real cool stuff. Check out the pictures here!

After dinner and playing upstairs in resturant we got to go ride the rides. We took the train into the shark tank which was pretty cool. After the rides we went into the adventure exhibit were we got to see a bunch of different fish and water life. We even got to pet stingrays and sharks in a tank. Then we got to see the two white tigers. They were huge!

I had a great time and I hope everyone else did too.

Zero Rule

I've learned the zero rule for addition in math and I pretty much have it down by the second lesson.



I have been doing a lot of home work for the last month. I go to Kumon for reading and math on Monday and Thursday and have Kumon work that needs to be done every day. But now I have started being home schooled, so I have started doing other things as well.

Here are some subjects I'm learning:

• Reading, every day and Kumon on Monday and Thursday
• Math, every day and Kumon on Monday and Thursday
• History, civil war is the subject now because we are going to go to a reenactment on Friday, November 20th, so mom wants me to have a good idea of what will be going on and why
• Health, I'm taking classes at the Health Museum on Wednesdays.
• Dance class is on Monday

The big news is that I am going to try out for a part in a major play, I will keep you posted on how things go with that.

USS Texas BB-35

Today mom took me on a suprise trip, she wouldn't tell me where she was taking me, she just said I would really like it.

We got to tour the USS Texas, which is a battleship. Did you know that the USS Texas Battleship is the last and oldest Battleship afloat that served in both WWI and WWII. The ship is almost 100 years old? Did you know that even thou it is in water it is really sitting on a cement base? There is so much to learn about the ship.

When I get a little bit older I am going to go on the Hard Hat Tour. I might even have my birthday sleep over there next year. I don't know, it's pretty cool.

Mom took a bunch of pictures

Tooth Fairy Visit #2

Need I say more?

Texas Prison Museum

Today we went to visit the Texas Prison Museum. I got to go into a cell and see what it was like and there is no way I would like to live in there. It is really small and the sink and tolet are together. There is not TV, or computer or toys or books or anything.

I also got to see Ol Smokey, which is an real electric chair. It was just like the one in the Green Mile movie.

Super Cat

Yesterday morning me and mom were walking the dogs and we found a stray cat. So my mom said we can keep him as long as I take care of him. She is going to have him neutered soon.

He is the best cat in the whole world. I named him Super Cat.

OH THE PAIN.. THE PAIN... PAIN & MORE MORE PAIN....

Today I stepped on a Io Moth Caterpillar. I started screaming, my mom thought I had cut myself in the kitchen.

So when my mom was looking up what kind of caterpillar I stepped on I went into the bathroom to scrub my foot with soap and water to remove the stinging. My mom then cut and put a slice of potato on my foot where it was stinging and put the old sock and a rubber band to hold it in place.

This is what we found out about the he Io Moth caterpillar. It is overall light green, but along each side there is a narrow reddish line bordered below by a white line. Grown caterpillars are two inches long and covered with branched, black-pointed green spines. They feed on a variety of plants including corn, roses, willow, linden, elm, oak, locust, apple, beech, ash, currant, and clover.

What it was doing in the kitchen of my mom's store is just simply beyond me.

Colin's Lemonade Stand

At the Old Town Spring Rod Run I sold water with flavored drink packets and candy. I got in trouble a few times because I gave drinks and candy to all the people I knew, which means since my mom has a store in Old Town Spring and because we belong to 3 of the car clubs that brought cars & trucks to the event I knew A LOT of people. I gave away more then he sold. So much for my school fund.

I had to make this video clip after all the cars left because of all the background noise.

Lost my 1st tooth

Today is a mile stone!!! I lost my first tooth, and when I say I lost it.... I mean I really lost it. I can't find it. I was eating an apple and then it was gone!

Biking with Ashton

Tonight we went to Ashton & Aiden's house to watch them while Ashley & Tony went to an open house at Ashton's school. I had a lot of fun playing with Ashton, but Aiden kept taking all the toys that I was playing with. I don't think I would like a baby brother or sister. I am finding out that I don't like to share as much as I use to.

Mom let me bring my bike so that we could ride around. It was fun and I want to go riding with Ashton soon.

Park

There is a real cool park that we go to. Over the last few months the HOA has been changing out some of the old equipment for new. Now they have installed a huge climbing web. It is so cool and really big. The first couple of times I went, I wouldn't climb all the way to the top. But now I know that I won't fall and I go straight to the top.

Gone Fishing

On Monday mom bought me a new fishing pole and small tackle box with some hooks, bobbers, lures and other things. So yesterday I forgot my box at home so when I caught a big fish, it broke the line and took my hook with, so we had to go again today. Well today was a very good day to fish. We only had about an hour to fish because my mom had to go meet Debbie.

But this is what I caught today. I'm so happy and

mom is proud of me becau

se I did such a great job of catching it, reeling it in and the

n holding it for a picture.

Fish on my friends!!!
