Saturday Soccer Game

Every Saturday we have a soccer game. Andrea’s game is at 9:00, Audrey’s is at 10:00 and mine, David and Adrian’s games are at 11:00.

You are invited to come and watch us play.

Our first game we lost 🙁 . BUT we are playing the same team next week and the next and the… There are only two teams of my age group boys, so we play the same team every single week.

The final score was only 2-4.  Daddy said it was a good game. He does not like games with high scores, because the games are not evenly matched.

I think we have a good team this year. Daddy is my coach and my cousin David is on my team.

 

Happy Birthday Samuel Morse!

This is the translation of the Morse Code from earlier. 🙂

TODAY IS MORSE CODE DAY! IT IS MORSE CODE DAY BECAUSE IT IS SAMUEL MORSE’S BIRTHDAY. HE WAS BORN IN 1791 AND INVENTED MORSE CODE I AM GLAD I DID NOT HAVE TO LEARN IT TO PASS MY TEST.

By the way I got my license in the mail today

Two Times Passed in Secret!

Last year, Momma and I decided to try to get a higher ham license then Grandpa. He only has an Advanced, so we secretly took the class for General in July 2010. I PASSED and kept it a secret for almost a year 🙂 !!!!!

Since there is not a class for Extra, we practiced at home. I took the test a week ago and PASSED again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, for Grandpa’s birthday, we made a shirt to tell him. He was surprised because we did it all in secret.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday dear Grandpa

Happy birthday to you.

 

Upward Soccer

David is on my team and Daddy is my coach!

If you want to see the games they start at 11:00 every Saturday, starting the last Saturday of this month.

I hope that you can come see me play!

New Critters

A friend from church gave us a praying mantis egg case. We hope to get some good pictures of them hatching.

We want to learn more about them so we have some questions;

  1. When do adult Praying Mantises lay their eggs ?
  2. Where do they lay the eggs? And how can we find some more?
  3. When do the babies hatch?
  4. What do the babies eat? Can we raise them?
if you can read this you are way too close

Five Minutes of Fame

That is one big camera!

We will be on TV soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cindi Clawson (the weekend weather person) from WNDU, came over to interview us on how to make maple syrup. She had called the Parks department and two other people were unavailable. Miss Krista knew we made maple syrup and called us to see if we would do the interview. Daddy and Mommy said yes, we could!

The interview started with Mommy talking about why we make maple syrup. I talked about how we make syrup. Mrs Clawson put a lapel mike on me and asked me questions and I answered them.When we were done, she said I did a good job. I got to do the talking because I am the oldest of the kids and most of the syrup is our responsibility. The girls each got to do something in the video, Adrian was not interested! Daddy made pancakes for after and talked about how to finish it up.

The segment is not all us because Mrs Clawson had done a BIG sugar camp earlier.  When the segment is on I’ll tell you because Mrs. Clawson did not know. She commented to have someone tape the segment for us to keep.
