April Showers Bring May Flowers!

As you might already know, rain is what helps plants grow. There's this phrase that people use that is very true! April Showers bring May Flowers! I asked some of my friends from my class if they knew the phrase, the weren't quite sure, but they knew that it was some kind of thing people would say in the end of April, getting into May. I sat with a bunch of little kids at school last month, teaching them about plants. We did little science experiments, and what a plant needs to grow. Since I have the challenging work at my school, I got to teach these young uns a cool plant lesson. This is exactly how I taught these little people: "What does a plant need to grow? Cookies? Candy? Even Oreos? NO! There are 4 things a plant needs to be a healthy plant. It needs soil, sun, water and air. That's it! While we need many fruits and vegetables, these plants don't necessarily EAT these things, the things come flowing by the plant, or falling on the plant in order to grow. It seems like they're small eaters aren't they? I would say so! Did you all know that plants hold oxygen that they give to us when we give them carbon dyoxide? That's cool huh? What does the rain do to help plants grow? It has special chemicals in it, producing items plants need. When it lands on the plant, an eensy weensy bit of green is covered on the plant! Hurray!" That is how I taught them about plants. This phrase is very true, flowers cover your garden in May after many rainstorms that happened in April. Hurrah!

P.S. The sunset pciture has a point. It's one of the things plants need to grow!

Dogs Rule, Cats Drool!

I love my dog, Cooper. We have so much fun together. Dogs rule! Cats, on the other hand, are not my type of pet. I feel like they arch their backs ALL the time! If you don't know what "Arching The Big One" is, it's this: When cats arch their backs, it means they're REALLY mad. I wouldn't even care if we bought a noisy bird. We'd just keep him outside all day and all night. Please, don't adopt a cat! If you already have one, you're missing out on all the fun of a dog! Ha ha ha! Buy a dog today! You never know if you'll find the best dog on earth! The best dog on the Earth is Cooper the cutie pie.

The Other Side of the Rainbow

People wonder what's on the other side of a rainbow. Some believe there's gold, others believe it leads to a cave full of treasure. Well, to tell you the truth, it's just a phrase people use to make the other person crack up. When I was younger I always thought there was toys, candy, and all the things a kid could wish for at the end of a rainbow. There are 7 colors in the rainbow. Some people think there's only 6 colors because the forget one important color: Indigo. Here's the rainbow in order. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and last but not least, Purple. I made up this little folk tale that you might want to hear. Here it is: "Ahem! Let this wonderful and fantastic folk tale, BEGIN!" (The Story) "Once, a little orphan boy named Barnie was playing his Great-great-great-great-great-great Grandfather's old banjo in the yard of the Orphanage. It started to rain. Rain clouds poured great huge drops of rain on Barnie's head. The raindrops were so huge they were the size of a FOOTBALL!!! So Barnie rushed inside to keep dry. He watched the thundering raindrops. A clap of thunder electrecuted one of the orphans. The kids screamed their eyes out! The Orphange Foster Mother rushed outside and picked up old Stevie, who had been at the Orphanage for 20 years and still no one to adopt him. He was dead alright, gone forever. When the huge rainstorm ended, Old Stevie was rushed to the Hospital and Barnie then saw a rainbow. Barnie wondered what was at the end of it. That night, Barnie couldn't sleep. His mind was full of thoughts about the rainbow. Barnie covered himself in his cozy blanket, found a candle, and went outside. The rainbow was still there. It was vanishing, but Barnie had enough time to get to the end if he hurried. Barnie ran and ran until he was halfway there. His blanket was very wet and droopy, the candle had died out, and Barnie was too tired to go on. Barnie found a tree stump to rest on. When Barnie looked at the rainbow, the rainbow started moving towards him! Barnie didn't notice that there was a secret cave right behind where he was sitting. Barnie started melting into his beloved blanket, he was too young for this kind of trip. Barnie didn't notice the rainbow was right behind him. Barnie slept in his balnket. He could not be seen in his blanket. In the morning, everything was dry, and the rainbow was having its last moments to shine. Barnie woke himself up, and saw the rainbow vanishing away. At last, Barnie turned to see the rainbow right behind him! The rainbow vanished the second he looked at the secret cave. The cave opened and when he went in, there was a note sitting on a rock. It said: "Fooled ya! It's just a phrase! What's at the end of a rainbow? A long trip for nothing! Ha ha ha ha!" Barnie frowned and ripped the note to pieces. Barnie walked back to the Orphanage, a frown on his face the whole way. When he got back, he slept until lunchtime. The end!" That's my story! I hope you enjoyed it!

Family

My cousins, aunts, uncles, Grandparents are the coolest ever! My favorite cousins are my Mom's sister's kids. They're the best on Earth! There are 4 children in that family. There is Nicholas, Ruthie, Caroline and Hazel. The youngest is a baby. The oldest is about 1o or 11 years old. My brother Parker likes to give them rides. He will walk around with Ruthie and Caroline holding on to his legs. It gives Parker a good exercise. Hazel is so cute! She cries and drools a lot but is cuter than ever! Nicholas and I don't really get along with each other. He'd rather be with his cousin; Sadie. She's my cousin, too. They were next door neighbors until Sadie's family moved to Maryland, Rhode Island. In 2nd grade I had to draw a picture of myself. I got traced by one of my classmate's parents. Then I drew a picture of what I was wearing that day. Then we sent it to Sadie's family. They traveled to places like Washington D.C. and other places. Then they sent it back to me and I got to present it to my class. So, I love my family. I call my Dad's Mom Grandma, (Which is what most people call their Grandmothers) But my Mom's Mom, Nani. My Mom's Dad, Papa, and my Step Grandpa, Grandpa. My Mom's Dad died of uhhh I forgot. My Dad's dad died of an airplane crash. I love my family so much, they are the best things ever!

P.S. I couldn't find a picture of my family so I just did Blue Hills.

Sports

I know that all Sports are fun. Football, Volleyball, Basketball, Baseball, Softball, Soccer, etc. are all sports. My 3 favorite sports are: 1, Basketball, 2, Volleyball and 3, Kickball. I don't like Football. I know what Touchdowns and Interceptions are. It's just I don't understand the game that well and they're sort of boring to me. I love Basketball because I know the meaning of the game and I like to play it with my 3 brothers. (Well, mostly 2 because one's in college) I like Volleyball because it's fun to use your arms in the game and because my Mom used to play and is still really good. Baseball isn't my favorite sport. I love Kickball and they're similar with each other but for some reason I like Kickball way better than Baseball. Soccer is pretty fun because my sister plays for the college of BSU. Well, she DID play Soccer. But she retired because she tore her ACL (which is a place in your knee that keeps your leg stable. At least that's what I think) for the 2nd time. So she medically retired and is now in the Nursing Program. Anyway, I hope all of you play a sport! Remember, it's a way to keep you fit!

P.S. This is my brother's basketball team. My brother is #12 on that team!!!!!

Traveling

On special occasions, my family and I travel to many places. We go to Utah, Sun Valley, (A place in Idaho) California, Oregon, and once I went to Arizona. On Thanksgiving, Spring Break and Summer Vacation we go to Utah to visit my Grandma. I hate driving in the car traveling to our destination. We have to drive because airplane tickets cost too much. I don't feel good when we drive. But when we get there I run out of the car and go inside. We mostly go to Salt Lake City, Utah and Provo, Utah. My brother Parker goes to a college called BYU in Provo. He's on the BYU Football team. I love visiting Utah and all our other destinations. I hope you all can travel far and wide to explore the planet of Earth!

Skiing

Hi! I am having so much fun with this blog! Now since I love winter, I sometimes like to go Skiing. I go to this Ski Resort called Bogus Baisin. A lot of my sister's friends Snowboard. I like to ski on these runs called Alpine, Showcase, Morning Star, The Bowl and Sourdough. If you Ski or Snowboard, I hope you like it because if you do, I am very glad. I am so glad that I might even leave a comment on your Blogspot if you have one. Anyway, my family and I travel to Utah, and a town in Idaho called Sun Valley to ski. I think the chairlift is the scariest part because I'm afraid that my Skis will fall off and that I'll drop my poles. But I'm afraid that hasn't happened yet. Phew! I'm glad. Anyway, if you don't Ski or Snowboard you should at least try once. If you Snowboard and you want to ski, or if you ski but you want to snowboard, try it and see for yourself! You never know what'll happen! See you in the next blog!

Club Penguin Rules!

Hello again readers! I just finished playing frisbee with Cooper. Now I want to talk about this website called Club Penguin. If you ever meet me, I'm Ihopdid333 and Profro. Ihopdid333 is a member there but not Profro. If you have an account on Club Penguin, leave a comment saying your penguin's user name. I'll write your penguin's name down, and while I'm playing, I'll look for you. If you DON'T have an account on Club Penguin and you don't even know what it is, I'll explain it to you. It's a virtual world, and you get to make your own penguin. you can own 2 pets that are called puffles. You care for them and play with them. They look like little fuzzballs. You can explore the virtual world. There are so many places to choose from. There are even secret places. In the mountains on your map, they're in the back of your map, you'll see a teeny mountain that's so far away it looks purple. It leads to a building with nothing in it, and it's called the Dojo. The other secret place is called the Ice Berg. It's on the right of your map and you can see it pretty easily. You can even go Sled Racing! Just use your arrow keys to control where your penguin's going. But be careful! There are some obstacles that make you fall. There's a pirate named Rockhopper. He has a red puffle named Yarr. He has a boat called The Migrator. A couple of months ago, his ship sunk but we helped recover it and fix it. You own an igloo on Club Penguin. It's where your puffles are located. On your menu, there's a house icon. Click on it and it will take you to your igloo. Now let me explain to you what a membership is. If you pay a certain amount of money, you get a certain amount of months to have your membership. When you're a member, you can buy clothes, different color puffles, you can adopt up to 12 puffles, puffle furniture, igloo upgrades, igloo furniture and more. Play games to earn coins. Talk with friends and have fun! Now my dog needs feeding now. See you later!

This is My Dog

I have a dog whose name is Cooper. He's a Black Lab mix. You might recognize him from my sister's blogspot. If you go to my sister's blogspot you'll see a picture of me holding Cooper in my arms. I play with Cooper and walk him. We have a trampoline that we play on every day. On April 12th, 2008, I turned the garden hose on and got the trampoline and I all wet! Cooper is afraid of water so whenever I turned the hose on he'd run all the way back to the inside of our house. Then when I turned the water off Cooper would come running back. Cooper has this amazing talent. If Cooper and I are jumping on the tramp, and a dog comes walking by, Cooper will run the the corner of the sideyard whch is where the trampoline is and jump up so his head is above the fence! Then he'll start barking at the dog. At night, Cooper sleeps in my room at the foot of my bed. When he's dreaming, he'll bark in his sleep. When my friends come over, Cooper will give them a friendly attack. My friends and I would laugh and giggle, petting Cooper. You may think Cooper is a wild dog, which he is, but he's the friendliest, happiest and cutest dog I've ever seen. Well, here he comes with a frisbee! I better go fetch with him! See you later!
