Going to San Francisco

On Thursday December 22nd, we all went to San Francisco and walked around for about 3 hours.To me and my brother it was OK but it was a little bit to much walking. To my sister and dad it was awesome. we went into a store and there was a 200 foot Christmas tree.... To bad it was fake, we went to the top floor and it took about 10 minutes because there was so many floors, we went on escalators and found our self on the top floor, number 5 . When we got to the top floor there was a restaurant. we gently walked our way through the tables of people as we approached the giant ring around the top of the tree, we looked all the way down and waved to see if anyone could see us there. We waved so long that somebody looked up at the top of the tree from the bottom and saw us waving. They waved back, after that we exited the building and went to different places, then our last stop was starbucks. 


My sister and I sat at a table to reserve it. my dad and brother order our drinks me and my sister got hot chocolate my brother got a strawberry smothie.But when the drink came to us it was a strawberry frappachino we all had a sip.... we all stayed up all night. the next day was the day that im typing this.

A Yummy Mistake

So... Yesterday the whole family was walking around the christmasy San Francisco. After two and a half hours, we became thirsty, and cruised into a Starbucks by Union Square. G and C ordered a Hot Chocolate, and I asked for a large Strawberry Smoothie. When the drinks cam through, I found that they had made a mistake and had given me a Strawberry Frappachino (or something like that). I told the clerk that I had ordered a Strawberry Smoothie, and they said that if I wanted to they could make it again. Being the optomistic person I am, I told them I would try it out and see if I liked it. By now the whole Cafe was watching, and I took the cup of Frappachino and went to my seat. I prepared myself for the worse, because I was not a fan of Cofee, but when I tasted this drink my mind went crazy. THIS IS DELICIOUS! I loudly said to everyone, everyone started laughing, and I enjoyed my Strawberry Frappachino. It was the most delicious mistake of my life.

What the heck I want for Cristmas

Woohoo!!!!!!!! Cristmas is coming! all I want ... and nothing else ever not a single thing else..... ok I want a BB/Pellet gun with targets and scope and pump action. Ok it sounds pretty long but I showed it to my dad and im reminding him everyday. I dont care if I get the other one that is smaller, I cant belive that there is one that is smaller.  A smaller magazine, less poweful , slower shooting and yea, IT COSTS MORE! I could not believe it, so could the man working there.

Plus I already got J a present, its a cap gun revolver, I got two of them one for me and one for J. anyways whoever is reading this, I wish you a merry cristmas I wish you a merry christmas I wish you a merry cristmas and a H,APPY NEW YEAR. Oh sorry the "HAPPY NEW YEAR" is in caps.       ;)

Our Little Christmas Tree

Sooo... it has been one whole year (and maybe a little bit more) since we bought Tatiana, our christmas tree. For those of you who don't remember, Tatiana is a living christmas tree, meaning we keep her alive throughout the year. We got her from Dusseldorf, Germany, and have successfully kept her alive throughout the harsh environment where we live. 




Last year, Tatiana was only about three feet tall, and we placed her in a pot on the piano for chirstmas. Since then, she has needed to be re-potted, and now proudly stands at around 3'3". It is quite amusing to see Tatiana, leaned over a little by the weight of the ornaments, trying her best to be a good christmas tree.

Battlefeild-1942, Battlefeild-Road To Rome, Battlefeild-Secret Wepons, Battlefeild-veitnam

We got this cool game called Battlefield 1942. We got Road to Rome, 1942, Secret Wepons and Vietnam.
In 1942, they had  the Panzer IV, one of those trucks with missles on the back, army jeeps, bazzoka, tommy guns, M1, sniper rifles, Ak 47, Spitfires, Dive bombers, Anti Aircraft, Anti Sea, Warships, Motor boats, Meshershmitts, Submarines, Anti Tank, and so on. In Road to Rome they had the same things as 1942, but the had new artillery cannons, and new trucks. In secret wepons the new stuff were... The stelth plane, the nuclier power rocket plane, jet packs, missles on top of tanks, rockets, super tuning airplane, and cool stuff like that.

My brother just darn wont let me play vietnam because its only installed on the computer he is using and he is playing on it. I have to blog for 15 mins. Then I get an hour of vietnam... Battlefeild ROCKS!!!

New House?

For quite some time now our house has been on the market. That means that most sundays we all have to help clean up the ENTIRE house. We have also been searching for another house to live in when we sell this one. Today wee went and saw a neighbor (his name will not be mentioned) and his house was for sale to. We may buy his when we sell ours. His house had two bedrooms (not including the GIANT loft), two bathrooms, and massive backyard. If we move there then wee could ride horses whenever we wanted to, and we could play in the year-long creek out back. It will be a definite change from the house that we have lived in for the past many years, but we will definitely enjoy it. The old owner is a good friend of ours.

CAT

Alright. You may or may not be wondering, who is CAT. I will have to start at the beginning of this story because it might not make sense.

It was a chilly autumn morning (I was 8) when i got this idea in my head "I need a pet." Throughout the next few weeks, I begged and begged for a pet...anything. My birthday came up, and I hoped that i had a pet. I was extra good that month, but too bad for me...no pet.

Christmas was just around the corner, and my hoping went on, and than just a few days before christmas, a ferrel cat showed up. A christmas miracle living beneath our porch. Over the next two years, I fed and tried to pet her. slowly she became used to me, and now i can even hold her. She is my cat. 

My dad and I were trying to think up a name for her, and inspired from just watching "Breakfast at Tiffany's," me and daddy decided to name her CAT.

That is my story, and I hope you liked it and felt the spirit of it all. CAT is doing wonderful, and I hope to blog again soon about her. I have added a voice message of cat meowing for her dinner (cute). Hope you enjoy.

" Poor cat! Poor slob without a name! The way I see it, I don't have the right to give him one. We don't belong to each other." -Holly Golighty (Breakfast at Tiffany's)

The Blue Angels in San Francisco

Last Saturday, I saw the blue angels! The drive was VERY long. We drove to San Francisco and we were looking for a parking spot. Finding a parking spot took a long time because everybody wanted to see the Blue Angels. Finally we found a parking spot 8 blocks away from the show place. We had to walk  for 8 blocks. By the time we got to the park we were tired. First the Patriots did tricks, the Canadian snow birds, then the coast guard helicopter flew around a bit. After them an Osprey flew around the bay, then came one of the finest fighter jets ever built - a super hornet. Because my sister had to meet a friend for a dance that night, we started walking back towards the car when, looking back we saw a 747 flying very low to the ground, Finally by the time we got back to the top of Pacific Heights where we parked the car, we saw them -  the Blue Angels. First we had to wait 6 air shows before the blue angels, and second of all we had to walk 8 blocks to get back to the car that  was up-hill all the way. Boy that was tiring. The Super hornet was just so darn loud that some people had to cover there ears. Oh Yeah, We ate to pizzas for lunch and they were delicious !

We Are Going To See The Blue Angels

Tomorrow, in San Francisco, are the Blue Angels. The Blue Angels are a squad of jet planes that create a show every year in San Francisco. It is a big event, and there is no place to park. the planes manly show off around Crissy Field and the Marina Green, put they come over the Marin Headlands every now and then. We have seen them from here in the past. It is amazing how much they must have to practice to do all their tricks without hitting each other, and I don't think they have done that in a long time. It will be fun, and I shall definetly attend the show. Thank you, and Good Night.

Footloose

Recently I was involved in a major school preformance. Footloose! It involved lots of singing and dancing, and the music was awesome. In the last week or two of rehearsal, I was away from home for 15 hours at a time !!!



Overall, it was very fun and i made a ton of new friends. Im sure dad, g, and c will all agree that it was a fantastic preformance, and that it was better than the oringinal musical that was put together in the 1980s. AT the start, it was hard to keep up with, and we were starting to hurry up when opening night was only two months away, but we made it. And it was great. I will upload pictures of the show later.

new Nerf gun

One afternoon we (Our family) went to a garage sale. I saw all sorts of toys then one caught my eye a big orange Nerf gun. I loaded it, and then I took a careful aim the pulled the huge trigger. The Nerf bullet went flying and hit just were i wanted it to hit, a puppet. At first I thought my dad would say no, but I dared to ask him and he said...."wow that is one big Nerf gun!" then I said "can I have it?!" of course he liked it so he said yes. we bought other things that did not catch my interest.A other man had the Nerf bullets because he bought one to, what??? he can't take all of them, otherwise I wouldn't have any!  I went home expecting my brother to be there but he was at Footloose rehersle. I wanted to show the Nerf gun  to him. What a horrible day I thought, then I thought what a good day and smiled.

Cousins Are Coming To Dinner

It has been a while and tonight Auntie and Cousin are coming from the midwest to have dinner and spend some time with us. Daddy has made both meat and vegetarian spaghetti to satisfy all dietary restrictions AND he has made the little Sausage, Manchega cheese and Olive hor d'oeuvres. This cheese is sooo good. It is Queso Manchego and is a cheese made in the La Mancha region of Spain from the milk of sheep of the Manchega breed.  Beautiful !!! Everyone had a great evening filled with good food, lots of laughing and many many stories including the 'Do you remember when ...' that Auntie told about Daddy as a young boy. Soo many secrets now known by all !!!

G Makes a Bird Feeder

G decided to make a bird feeder and Daddy hung it in the apple trees. It was February and G wanted to give the birds that did not fly south something good to eat. She had found a pine cone one weekend while camping in Mendicino and decided to use this to 'Feed the Birds'. Look who came to try out the raccoon proof feeder!!

Hiking in Marin, Airplanes and Tennis

When i woke up i heard my sister in the hall, i walked up to her and asked "what do you want to do???"
she replied "i don't know" after chatting and looking for secret passage ways, daddy woke up but j kept snoozing. Once he woke up we dicidid to fly airplanes and play tennis.


After we played tennis we went up to Big Rock and flyed airplanes - but only j.. did and the rest of us just hiked 2 or 3 miles but after a while we turned back, and when we got home we checked for ticks and then we blogged and we all still are and all that time went by

PINK DRINKS!!!

It was a fine afternoon as we walked through the doorway, back from flying airplanes, G said, "O.K daddy time to make PINK DRINKS!!!". "OK" daddy replied, "J , C, go blog about today.". While c was having technical difficulties, G was in the kicthen with daddy cooking up a hurricane! After roughly twenty minutes, the bell rang with J and C runing to see the beautiful surprises that lay on the table. "Woah, G", "Amazing", "Awesome", were the responces that came as all of us began to eat and drink what seemed like liquid heaven. On the top was a swirled lid of whipped cream, and right below that was an ocean of beautiful, soft banana smothie. but that was only the top half, and the best was saved for last. as all of us each eventually came through to the raspberry awesomeness at the bottom. They were all amazing, and everybody gave them 10/10. Good Job G.

Pink Drinks

When I woke up I was excited to make pink drinks. I didn't want to get up yet from my long pleasant sleep so I lay down on my pillow and went back to sleep. soon I woke up again and got out of bed slowly because I had to  go to the bathroom! 


Once I got back in bed I read Big Nate Strikes Again. My  sister woke up and so I followed her down the stairs. After playing games all the morning Daddy, g,  j,  and me went to fly airplanes. After that we went shopping for apple juice and ice cream.  Once we got home I washed up and programmed on my computer. j. copied a game he had written and I edited it. After I edited it, my dad told me that my sister had made pink drinks and so I took one an started eating!!!  


With the wiped cream on top, I started out and ended with sorbet but I did not finnish the whole thing because I was to cold to finish it. After that, my dad told me to blog so I started writing and after five minutes I got kicked out from the site. I am back in now  - it comes to this second that all of you are reading my peace.

Sparklers

I was watching the clock as time went by. When it was eleven fifty-nine I yelled "One minute to New Years!" J., G.. and Daddy were watching the Waltons on a video. My sisters clock was four minutes off. I stared at the clock  on my computer because its the exact time. Once it was mid night I ran out of my room and yelled "happy new year!!!" after that we all went out side and played with sparklers, flowers(mini fireworks) and spiders (round circles that spert sparks all over the place) after we lit and watched them we lit more sparklers then we went inside,. happy knowing that the next year was going to be a ton of fun.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

WOW!!!! It's 2011 already! So this means we have been in this family 7 months! Last night, J, W, D, and I waited, and waited, until finally...10...9...8.....7....6......5.....4....3....2.......1..........and.....HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! We hurried outside, not caring that it was raining, in our hands, and in just a few seconds, in our hands, exploding with joy and happiness, were sparklers. the sparklers exploded with tons of colors! I thought it was interesting that when the color was blue, the smoke was blue, and that when the color changed to red, the smoke was red, and so on. After we finished off 3 boxes of them, D pulled out...(Drum roll...)....Fireworks!! Since we live in the redwoods, we can't do those huge ones that you see at fairs, so we got a bunch of mini ones. They were set of and exploded in mid air, into billions of colors, sparkling with fire and life! They were so exiting!!! The last kind of explosive we did were called DAISY'S, and when D lit them, all of a sudden the started spinning, with the colors of red, purple, blue green, and white fire. I could understand why they're called DAISY'S, because as they spun around, they looked like million color daisies. The daisies spun, but since the place that we lit was round, the flowers had a middle! There acctually was one more thing. They were little round tubes, that when you lit, one side exploded with bright cheerful colors. well, after we finished celebrating 2011, we happily walked in the house, and went to bed having wonderful dreams for the rest of the morning (Ha Ha Ha... It's was after midnight).
