My Christmas Break.

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.

"This is a painting that I painted on my own. And it is a picture of an owl. I made it at school." -Ben, artist

The Drag Racer

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

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

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

(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

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?

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.
