Hello

A day or so ago Sister Wright gave me a pair of roller blades and I got really good at it in one day. Today was Sunday and I was roller blading in the rain, and it was really fun. I made a hockey stick that's falling apart, I made it out of an old Coke can, a jumprope, and a broken redwood post from a pack mom got for the garden. It looked hilarious, and I zoomed around on my roller blades and I shot it into the goals, which were the gates and the bricks.

We're going to move to Utah. I'm kind of mixed up about that because I only know a little bit why my parents are moving to Utah. But, it will be fine.

I went snowboarding.

I went snowboarding today. I the beginning it wasn't so good because it was so, I couldn't really snowboard. And in the end he said he wasn't joking, he was serious, but that I know everything I need to know to be a real snowboarder. Here's a snowboarding computer game that I like:Snoboarder xs. It was super fun! I watched my dad go down the hill. He was cool, but he fell before he even got to the "slow" sign before the hill started.

The hill we went on was nicknamed "The Bunny Run" because it was easiest, shortest, and the ski lift wasn't as high run. And most of the other runs were high speed. And they were called quads, but they really could only hold 3 people, you could put 4 on if you wanted to be squished. And mine is the only one that wasn't a high-speed ski lift.

The lift was called the Explorer, the run was called the Explorer II, but people just called it the explorer, the same as the lift, because the lift went right through the middle of the run. It's the shortest lift on the map on the wall inside. When I went snowboarding, I mainly had my heels pointing down and my toes pointing up, so I was leaning on my heels, and that helped me not go so fast, because putting your heels back is your brakes. When you put your toes forward, it doesn't slow you, but stops you completely and digs up snow, because there are a few inches of snow on top that aren't so hard. The snow is hard because they are driven over with big machines called Snow Cats. I joke about how they are big fat cats that like to play in the snow.

The snowplow we saw on Grandma's street today was pretty cool. It looks more like a giant snow blower, because it dug up snow in the front and blew snow out the back.

My snow board was about as big as Sophie and went up to my mouth. Dad's snowboard and Jessika's skis and Karen's snowboard and Uncle Danny's snowboard were really big and they were WAY taller than me.

See you later!

Christmas Day and Beyond


On Christmas Day I opened presents and I got a whole bunch of cool presents. I got some slippers that had leopard spots on them and they were really soft on the outside, and they were on the couch filled with candy, just like everybody else's, except my parents, theirs were in boxes, I guess, I forgot. I also got this new bike, which was almost the first thing I saw besides the couch full of candy. Here's the picture of my bicycle:


I took this picture, along with a whole bunch of other pictures. Here are some other pictures that I took, including, but not limited to, these pictures:


This is a Japanese garden at the corner. I call it "The Garden at the Corner." But it is at a man's house.




This is a picture from the parking lot behind my house. I'm surprised my parents let me go there.




This is a picture of our street. Some of the pictures that I took are tilted because I think it looks cool to take pictures with the camera at different angles.




This is a picture of the front of our house. This is the one that I tood that is just plain, not at any different angle.



This is a picture of our car. There is a big white smudge in front of the license plate, because license plate numbers are not supposed to be on the Internet.

These are all pictures taken by my new, blue camera that has a red shutter button, two viewfinders that look like binoculars, because it is designed for kids, because some kids can't close one eye. A square LCD screen, an on and off button...It makes a funny noise when you start the camera. It also has white and red spots.

I had a VERY fun Christmas, and those aren't all the presents I got, I got way more presents! I got a Secret Santa present, and it was a Magnetix kit!

K, Bye!
