My Christmas Break.

2008-01-03T18:38:00.000-05:00

On my christmas break I went to the aquarium with John. It was fun! We saw a fish that looked like it had a big brain on his forehead, he looked freaky! And we saw a whale-shark and a sawfish. We tried to pet anemones but it was resting time and the stingrays and the sawfish we tried to pet them but it was eating time. The moving sidewalk was on and we rode on it.

The Drag Racer

2007-05-06T11:15:00.000-04:00

Memom gave me some Legos. And we played with the Legos. And Daddy built the drag racer. We made a town. I made an airplane, a firetruck, and a house.

Changes

2007-03-15T18:09:00.000-04:00

This is still Ben's blog. We had to update to the New Blogger and it combined Ben's under mine since you have to have an email adress to have a blog. Since I don't want Ben to have one just yet it had to go under mine. So everything is the same except the picture to the right and the name.

My Painting Lesson

2007-03-12T17:35:00.000-04:00

This is my picture that I painted. It was from my first painting lesson from Mommy. Because in college, she painted. And at my Nana's house, there are some of those pictures [paint by number] that Mommy painted.

A Story I Wrote

2007-03-01T15:24:00.000-05:00

(Daddy Note: This is a story that Ben wrote without any help so forgive the spelling errors.)

Transcribed: Ice Age The Meltdown!!!!
On Ice Age The Meltdown the squirrel is climbing [the] ice wall. And he is hanging form his tongue. In the middle of the movie Manny shoots a possum out of a tree. And he said, "I believe! I can fly!" And he smacks into a tree. An at the end of the movie Manny and the other mammoth lived happily ever after.

My Briefcase

2007-03-01T14:56:00.000-05:00

This is my briefcase. It was my grandpa's first. It sort of looks like a suitcase, but it isn't. I bring it to school and all the kids think it's cool. But the kids that I don't know at the school they ask, "what's in there?" And I say, "my lunchbox and my folders."

Just before I got it, my tooth was loose. After that day, I went to Mommy (I was very glad to see her) because I was spending the night. Then we went to Snip-Its where we got our hair cut. And after it was my turn Mommy pulled my tooth out. There was a little blood but I was okay because I got a tissue. And that was my third tooth to be gone. The tooth fairy came and left me 300 cents. That was my adventure of the third tooth gone. The end.

How's It Going?

2007-01-08T16:12:00.000-05:00

This picture was taken on Thanksgiving at Memom's house. We went for a ride on the golf cart. It was very very cold. C-O-L-D.

This is a picture of me and Luke at Memom's on Thanksgiving.

This is a picture taken after Thanksgiving. We went to go see Mommy's Aunt Anne and Uncle Jimmy. The tractor ride was really fun.

This picture was taken on my birthday. Aunt Aimee made it. And on the cake is Lightnin' McQueen. Aunt Aimee put it together with tooth-picks. I turned six on my birthday. For my birthday I went to Jumpin' Jamboree. That's it.

This picture was taken on the night of my school musical. Everybody needed to come to school with a bow on their head and a present costume. Daddy made my costume. And Mommy bought the bow.

This picture was taken when we went to see Santa. I asked Santa for a bike, a checkers game, the Cars Videogame, and a Robosaurus. But I didn't get the Robosaurus. Maybe Santa just forgot.

Aaaahhhhh. That is the bike that I got for Christmas. I am wearing my pj's.

This is a picture of me opening my present at Nana's later on Christmas Day. I took the bow off of my present and put it on my head.

That is a bike that Lucas got for Christmas. Daddy built it and me and Lucas rode it together.

Lookey At What I Built

2006-11-12T16:13:00.000-05:00

[Daddy Note: Please leave comments for Ben. He really likes to hear from you. It's almost as exciting as getting something in the mail. You don't have to have a Blog or an account. You can leave a comment as an anonymous person and then just put your name at the end, like a letter. Thanks. P.S. Doobie and Keith - pay no mind to this request.]

This is a picture of the Lego dinosaur. I like it. I think it is very cool. I built some of it by myself but other times Mom or Dad helped me with the dinosaur.

My Booklet

2006-10-17T15:41:00.000-04:00

I like my booklet. I like it very much and I want to write in it every day.

The first picture is called "Halloween." I am standing after I knocked on the door. And then a person opened the door.

The second picture is called "Bicycle." This is a picture of me riding my bike without training wheels. If you look very closely you will see background with a mountain and some trees. And some clouds and the sun.

The third picture is called "I love my brother." Luke is smiling because he is happy and he gets happy when someone teaches him. My arms are out because I am telling him about dinosaurs and how the meteor crashed. I'm moving my arms in the picture but you can't really see it.

What I Want To Be When I Grow Up

I Went To The Aquarium With My Brother

Why I Like School

2006-09-14T16:53:00.000-04:00

Here I am standing in front of the cards. When you do something bad you have to pull a card. Green is the best color. I have had a green card except for one day.

My favorite part of school is playing on the playground. I like to run. This is a picture I drew of me on the playground. I am saying, "Weeee!" Moving on...

This is my teacher Miss Jordan. She is very nice. She thinks I'm smart because when Mom picked me up from school, Miss Jordan came out and said, "Ben is a very smart boy." I hope she reads my blog. She is the best teacher of all. I like being in her class.

My New Scooter

2006-08-28T16:23:00.000-04:00

My new scooter is a success! I got it for my past birthday (Daddy note: I had typed "last birthday" but Ben corrected me. It is not his last and he hopes to have many more. He suggests "past birthday.") Here is a movie of me riding it. Just click on the picture to see it.

How I Lost Two Teeth And Fooled The Tooth Fairy

2006-08-24T15:52:00.000-04:00

I lost my tooth while I was at Papa Jewett's spending the night. I can't tell you because I can't solve the mystery. I don't know where my tooth went. Do you understand? The next day I went home and mommy pulled my other tooth out. I didn't like that at all. Do you believe it? Write back to me and tell me if you believe it? The end.

P. S. I am in kindergarten now. My teacher's name is Mrs. Jordan and she is really nice. I guess I'm going to get...I don't know what I'm gonna get for comments. My friends are Aaron and Sydney. You got it boy!

Today I went to the zoo

2006-07-24T17:30:00.000-04:00

Today I went to the zoo with Daddy. I had a lot of fun. And besides, this is the first time I've ever saw the two tigers. The jaguars were way behind a cliff and trees were blocking the view so I couldn't see them. And we saw a crocodile! I don't remember seeing one in there before. Besides, that was the first time.

The End.

I'll Tell You About My Trip

2006-07-05T10:12:00.000-04:00

We built a sand castle on the beach.

Mommy bought me a shark mask and now I can swim without my life vest or anything that floats.

I put my whole head underwater without holding my nose. I also can jump from the side of the pool and go underwater with my shark mask.

I went to Walt Disney World for the first time.

I rode the Dumbo ride at Walt Disney World. Here's a picture of me and mommy riding the Dumbo ride. I got to control whether it went up or down.

This is the souvenir I picked out.

I took picture with Chip and Dale. I rode a carousel and I had my first roller coaster ride. It was really fun. I was a little nervous at first.

My Brother Fell Asleep

Dinoco

2006-06-19T12:11:00.001-04:00

Dinosaurs are fierce and scary. And guess what! I love all of the meteors even though they killed the dinosaurs. I like how they (the dinosaurs) roar.

These are the dinosaurs that I know:
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Triceratops
Stegosaurus
Gigantosaurus
pterodactyl
Ankylosaurus
Parasaurolophus
Carnotaurus
Brachiosaurus
Velociraptor
Allosaurus
Iguanodon

Now I want to tell you about seeing the movie Cars. Lightning McQueen is my favorite.

I went to go see it yesterday for the second time with Daddy, Mommy, and Luke for Father's Day. I saw it before with Ava. I like how when the green car came up and he got the Piston Cup they threw confetti and everyone just stared at him. And when Lightning McQueen came up they threw confetti and had fireworks.

Here's a picture of me and Ava.

The Macaroni and Cheese

2006-06-17T09:16:00.000-04:00

I love macaroni and cheese. I just like how the taste is. I love it but I don't want to marry it.

I went to nature camp this week. I liked it because there was a person who came to camp and showed us all kinds of animals and we could touch some of them. there were even snakes!

Lucas sometimes aggravates me, sometimes it's kinda okay but not really. I don't like how Lucas likes ga-go (Go Diego Go) or de-da (dora the explorer). A lot of times I like him though.

I have one more thing to say to you for real: BYE BYE!!

My First Post

2006-06-15T19:01:00.000-04:00

I like bunnies. They're soft and funny. They hop around and are so silly.
