It has been awhile since I have come to my blog. We had a lot of fun this summer and have done many fun things in cluding going to kansas. We brought our friends with us.

Day

We had a lot of fun today with the may fair. It included things like the bean bag toss. We also had the twins day which was easy because of the fact that I am a twin. We also are going to two other parties to have even more fun. I will be tired tonight.

Prank

I remember lots of jokes and pranks that people have pulled on me. One I can think of currently is one on April fools day. My dad gave me a great treat which was mint on the end of it and chocolate on the top with whip cream. My dad left us to eat it, and my brother who was inspecting the treat (when I was already done) noticed that it was made of soap. I screamed for my dad and tackled him. The next time I got the hiccups, bubbles came out.




Note: The last part isn't true.

Faith walk

A few weeks ago, my dad and I went on a trust walk in the woods behind the house. This was not just any afternoon walk. It was a walk that was a lot of fun. We went through a few bushes and SMACK! A branch hit me in the eye. That is when dad blindfolded me. He told me what to do while guiding me with his hand. We did this for 15 minutes or so, and I ended up in a tree. He took the blindfold off and told me we will do the same thing without his hand. I did so and did it just fine until he led me into a log. I still followed his voice until he told me to just run straight. At first I was a little hesitant, "You want me to WHAT??! Trust you???!! I've only Known you for 12 years. Listen,When I'm 40, we'll see how things are doing." I realized that he was one of the closest people to me. I did as he told. It taught me a great lesson. I was going through puberty and dad has already been through this. I should trust him. That is why this is called a faith walk.

Pretty!@#$###

I call it explosion#4

Prittyful explosion!!!

I call it; Explosion #3!!!!!

Summer

I am going to have a lot of fun during this summer. I am going to take a trip to Kansas and play in the river and catch turtles, snakes, and frogs and play at my cousin's house. My brother and I will play paintball and tag and we will see my 97 year old great grandmother.

School

I have enjoyed a lot of things about school. One thing I like about school is the electives I am in. I also like the first period classes. The school itself is cool, and I like most of the things about the way they teach. Except in math. The way they teach it there is that there is only one way to do the problem and if you don't do it that way, you are wrong. If you don't do the rules word for word correctly, you get a bad grade. Does that make sense? My dad was a math teacher and I personally am going to listen to him about math, unless he isn't there. But other than that problem, I love this school and, if I knew you personally, I would recommend it to you. But then again, I should be safe because I don't know who exactly is reading my blog.

COOL! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I made this COOL pict ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Thank you

Thank you is important begcause it shows grattitude to the person who did something for you. It also shows respect to someone and it is great manners to use at a fancy party or festival. I like it when someone says thank you for something and I also feel good saying thank you to them. I think it makes them happy too.

Picture smashed

I did a smashed photo of a cat in photoshop!!

I Don't like it when

I really hate it when someone insults you and you don't know how to get
back at them without saying a lie. When that happens to me, I go to God
and say to God in prayer and say, "God, I am really mad at this person, so
please help me deal with this in a good way, not a bad way." I then do
what God says for me to do, and live on without a care.

A knock at the door

One night, I was sitting and reading a great book with my cat, when I heard a knock at the door. There was an eerie silence after that. my cat meowed. Another knock. Again silence. I slowly got up and heard a moaning voice. I was feeling rather insecure. I decided to turn on the TV to distract myself. I turned on Discovery channel when suddenly the screen went black. A Minute later the power went out. I sat there, not daring to move, and thinking about what had just happened. My cat meowed in a "What is happening" voice. Suddenly I heard a bump. I went to the drawer to get a mach and a candle. I lit the candle and started reading again. The glowing and flickering of the candle cast eerie shadows on the walls. I rose up to get a flashlight. By now I was so scared I thought I would pea my pants. I heard the wind whistling around the house. I drifted off to sleep with my cat in my lap.

I woke up the next morning to see that the power went back on. I opened the window and inhaled deeply. What a beautiful day. I decided to take a walk to a nearby park. On the way, I met my brother. We chatted a little bit. I had totally forgot the horrific experience I had last night. I carried on for a little while and decided to get lunch at the nearest restaurant. I got the lettuce chicken tomato cucumber pickle broccoli carrot asparagus mustard ham relish combo. Quite a meal. I ate my sandwich and started on my way home. I suddenly saw a dark figure dart behind a corner behind me. I suddenly remembered last night and started jogging home. When I got there, I locked everything and made sure my cat was in. I was taking no chances. I Sat down to watch TV with a flashlight in my hand. That is when it struck me. I would have to face this mysterious figure unless I wanted him to follow me for the rest of my life. I made a plan. I would dial 911 but not hit the talk key unless something happened. I checked the door. He was still there. I opened the door slowly to reveal the face of... My brother? Silly me! I got a letter that he would come the night before at a late time. I welcomed him in and we had tea and talked about the thing that had happened the night before. In conclusion, We had a lot of fun that night and laughed a lot about the experience.

Wierd

Today, I am going to write a blog. I am going to write about when I could fly. I would fly into a cloud and close a glass bottle to trap some air. I would then find out the exact chemical compositions of different clouds. I would then fly to my house and dress up in a suit and fly around people. Of course, then I would tell them it was me and tell them they shouldn't freak out. I would then get my work done and return to school.

Pict

I created this.

Cell phones

I wonder if people should be allowed to use the cell phone while driving. I think they should not be allowed except for passengers. If you need to make an immediate call, tell the passenger what to dial or wait til you get to your destination or next rest area. I also agree that even though hands free devices are safer, they still distract the driver from the road.

weekend

This weekend, I was with my dad and I did some fun stuff. On sunday, we went snowboarding and I did 3 black dimonds. I only fell once, and ina race down the mountain, I beat my dad and my brother. I also went to church on saturday and ate lasagna. All in all, I had a fun weekend

$5,000

If I had $5,000, I would buy a laboratory. I have always wanted to make things, dissect things, and make other scientific discoveries. I would invent things and sell them to the rest of the world. With the rest of my $5,000, I would give some of it to the poor. Not a whole ton, but enough to get a decent job. Next,I would build a church and make it have a great number of things to do like a pool table and a bible room and a dodge ball room. Also it would have a library. In conclusion, That is what I would do with $5,000.

Cool lines

I did a lines thing to make this image!

Websites

There are many websites out there on the net, but here are five that I like to go to often. One is blogspot.com. There are many blogs to read and I have my blog here. Next, I like to go to Gmail.com. It has my email account and I get mail from my friends and family. Also, I like google.com. You can find what you are looking for easily. I often use the school website to check my grades and upcoming events. I also go to ask.com to ask questions about things I wish to know. So I go to many websites through my daily life. The computer is a great tool to use.

I admire...

There are many wonderful things I admire about my parents, but I love one thing especially about my dad. We often go out to play catch in the great outdoors. When I am having trouble with something, he rushes to my aid to help me. Also, he has been through the things I am going through so he knows how to help me. All in all,I love how he can understand the things about me. So in conclusion, he is a great dad.

Spring break

I had a lot of fun over spring break doing many things, having many adventures in Arizona. We had a lot of fun playing in Oak Creek. The most fascinating thing we did was go on a Jeep tour. We started out getting in and drove for what seemed like forever. Then we got on the reddest dirt road I have ever seen. I asked my mom if this was the remaining blood of those who went here last. Luckily, we survived. Then, we came to a big 135 degree plummet downward. I tried to scream, but nothing came out. The driver said that this was nothing compared to some stuff we would do later. We did it and luckily, we survived. Next, we came to a second encounter even worse than before. The driver asked if we wanted to go down fast or slowly and cautiously. Everyone else on the trip wanted to go fast. I had second thoughts, but I reluctantly did it. There were many others, but none were compared to "The bone crusher ". The driver said it was the second largest hill. "Just how long have you been doing this kind of thing?" I asked. We went down very fast, but I thought it was slow. "Collin, I've never been so happy to see you're face." I yelled at my brother who just nodded his head disapprovingly. At last we came to the biggest sheer drop plummet I have ever seen. "Correction, now I have never been so happy to see you're face Collin". I was about to ask my mom what the deductible on my insurance policy was when we went down. All in all, we had a fun, adventurous, but life threatening spring break.

Hard times

We are going through an economic crisis so here are a few tips to help save the economy. We should buy stuff. Don't believe me? This is how economy works. The people buy goods so the buisness gets payed. Therefore the workers get payed and go to buy goods and it all goes in a cycle. Now if we are in an economic crisis, we stock up on money and only buy the nececities and most of the buisneses don't get money, so the workers don't get payed and the workers either go on strike or get fired. Then they don't get money and don't buy goods and they don't get enough workers. Then the demand is so high that people raise the prices and economy goes down. So if you buy, the workers will get payed and we will have a good economy.

Look what I did on photoshop

Review of Bibles

I will be comparing the King James Bible and the NIV Bible.

The king James version Bible is great Bible that can teach a lot to teens.

Pluses+

-Lots of information

-Older type of speaking

Minuses-

- for mostly older people

-More complex to understand

NIV Bible is a living translation of the bible that can show more understandable things especially for children

Pulses+

-Index

-More understandable

In conclusion, I think both are great because they are Bibles. If you are about 12 years of age, I recommend the NIV Bible. But if you are more in depth, get the King James version.

Most fun

The most fun thing I have done lately is play with my cat, Scampers. We often play in the back yard. Specifically, I tie a catnip toy to my foot and Scampers chases after me. It's fun except until he pounces and I go toppling head over heals into the briar patch. And Scampers goes bananas over his catnip toy. He is very territorial over his catnip. If you so much as touch it, he'll rip out you're lungs and well... I won't go there. Anyway, I love my cat a lot.

GPS

People are wondering if kids should have GPS on their cell phone. I think people should be able to know where kids are. Also, it is never too young to get kidnapped, my sister still calls her mom to tell her where she is and she is 20 years old. We all need to tell eachother where we are to keep us safe. I think everyone should be able to find where people are. So people should have GPS on phones.

Food blog

I chose this recipe because it has been in my family for years and it is a mouthwatering deliciousness that you will never forget! Feffernusen in English is pepper nuts. It is a German cookie that tastes delicious.

• 4 cups of brown sugar
• 4 eggs
• 61/2 cups flour
• 1 tbs. baking soda dissolved in 1 tbs. water

• 1 tsp. anise oil or 2 tsp.anise extract
• 4 cup finely chopped nuts (optional)

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs to anise oil. Mix remaining ingredients. Chill batter overnight. Roll batter out into a snake and cut vertically. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Let them cool down and enjoy!

Valentines day

I love Valentines day. It has so much love going around. Such as getting up in the morning with you're arm asleep and hitting you're brother in the head and waking it up. I also like it because you can give people candy. The fun is giving not receiving. Although it is fun to get candy. That is why I like Valentines day.

My Favorite President

My favorite president was Abraham Lincoln. He was the 16th president and did amazing things for the country. He helped the African Americans. If he had not done so, we would not have a president. Also, he was tall and was known as a kind man. Yes, Abraham Lincoln was a great president. I found the picture here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/abrahamlincoln/

Disney charachters

Our teacher told us that we should write what Disney character we are like. I am most like Aboo from the movie Aladdin. I am a lot like him because I can climb well. I can climb lamp posts and trees. Also, I can do tricks. In the movie, Aboo steals a watermelon by taking it from a market for food. I got this picture from:(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aladdin_(film)

Happy

Today our teacher told us to write something but I can't think of anything to write. I am just happy. I am going see my dad tonight and wonder what I will be doing. So I am going to write about that. There is a lot of things I could do. I could help make supper or play with my (step) sister or read my Bible or play in the woods. But for now, I am happy just because I am.

My favorite teacher

My favorite teacher was my fifth grade teacher. She loved science and also loved God. She had us do many fun experiments so I always looked forward to science class. We did things like measure different objects' volume and size. We also did ice cream scoops for reading. If you had 10 scoops you got an ice cream party. I had over 100 scoops by the end of the ice cream party. So all in all, She was my favorite teacher.

So Fine

Life is so great, there are thousands of opportunities full of adventure and excitement. But in some places that isn't true. In some places they can't preach about God and if you know me or have read my Religion post than you know that this is bad in my opinion. In Kyrgyzstan, people don't know God. But if you are in America, then you get a lot of freedoms like freedom of speech and get to have weapons and many other opportunities. So all and all, life is so fine.

The worst thing that has happened to me

Our teacher has asked us to write what is the most painful experience was. I have three. The first is emotionally painful. It was when my parents got separated. They both got very bad outcomes. The second one is the bloodiest. I went on a bike ride and the bike hit a rock in the middle of the road and I was so angry that I picked up the bike and threw it against the sidewalk. I then saw my blood and started to cry. I required several stitches in my forehead. I still have pictures from the crash. I also have a big scar on my head that is still visible today. The last is when I was wrestling with my dad and broke my arm in half. We could all hear a big crack as I hit the ground and I could shift my arm around like jello. My dad knew right away it was broken. It was revolting. So that is the worst thing that has happened to me.

My dream birthday party

If I could have an awesome birthday it would be like this; We would go to an invention/imagination/Bible/museum/science building. Then I would invite all my friends, family, my dad, my mom, my step mom and my step siblings would get along and we would make many inventions and go to an imagination room where we could imagine things and they would happen. Then we would go to the Bible room and listen to whatever parable, story, or Bible verse we want. When the day is done, we would all have a sleep over and roller skate all night. That's my dream birthday party.

Religion

I feel strongly about being a christian and telling people through my blog daily Bible verses and messages about my religion. I hope you will read them and remember them through the day. I also hope you will accept Jesus as the true messiah if you have not already done so.
