The BFGplay at the Lewis Family Playhouse at Victoria Gardens

2008-04-23T09:00:00.000-07:00

Hi guys,
Well yesterday my mom and I went on my first field trip with Harada's 3rd grade. We went to see the play "The BFG" (it was a book we just finished reading that morning), it was really neat and after we even got to ask the actors questions. My feet were killing me by the end of the day...I think I ended up with six Band-aides all together. Luckily mom thought fast and ran into a store and ask for some...a few girls needed them. Mom to the rescue! Enjoy the pictures!

More of the BFG

2008-04-23T08:53:00.000-07:00

Busy Weekends

2008-04-20T09:59:00.000-07:00

Well hello everyone, My weekends are still flowing with LOTS of activities, this weekend consisted of Swimming lessons, a T-Ball game for my cousin Garrett (it was a blast, I remember these days), an amazing play at my church Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat, and today shopping for some dress shoes because Tuesday my school is going to see another play called BFG (Big Friendly Giant, it is a good book that we have been reading in class) that's at a REAL Theater in a place called Victoria Gardens, We'll publish those pictures Tuesday night when we get back, my mom gets to go on this field trip, we have to dress up, boys in suits and girls in skirts or dresses, it should be fun going to the Theater. Hope you enjoy this weekends pictures.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat

2008-04-20T09:44:00.001-07:00

So here I am in my Papa Firetrucks glasses, because I left mine at home and I couldn't see the faces of the actors even though we were only 6 rows back from the front...Thank goodness we have almost the same prescription and was able to help out! How silly do I look?

Just being Silly

2008-04-20T09:38:00.000-07:00

I have a SUPER funny video for this, but my Mom and Papa have to figure out how to get it on here, keep an eye out. I did this after lunch yesterday before we went to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat at my church. My church is HUGE...it is pretty fun and they do things like this all the time, I am told. You can check out my Church at www.CrossroadsChurch.com

Universal Studios Trip

2008-04-12T20:15:00.000-07:00

WOW this was fun! I have been earning an allowance here and have been working hard to save money to get my mom a cool Mothers Day gift, with some help from my dad and the money I worked for, I managed to get my mom a Universal Studios Annual Pass! I know it is like WAY early for Mothers Day, but having the tickets burned a hole in my pocket AND they had to be activated before the end of April to work for the whole year. We got our face painted, met animal stars from all sorts of movies, saw some cool stage effects and saw a commercial actually being filmed...I give today a 10. Hope all is well at school and your testing is going good. tell everyone I know I said "hello"!

Now to see how well I cope through the night. I will have my mom send pictures right away of my new school and me. Have a good nights sleep and a Good Monday.

My new Room

2008-03-29T18:49:00.000-07:00

Well my Nana, Papa and Mom have been working really hard to make sure I have my own space before school started. Well it all started with a comforter that I choose and it snowballed from there. I was able to choose my own paint and the other day my nana and mom mad this really cool furry headboard. My papa got home from his trip (he teaches people how to run a major disaster for heavey rescue...we helped in Russia during an earthquake and at the Oklahoma City Bombing and in New York on 9-11)so today he was able to get it hung on the wall....NEXT I get to paint some cool art to hang on my walls and decorate it with my own funky style. I hope you like it as much as I do.

My new room ALMOST finished

2008-03-25T19:06:00.000-07:00

Well...the day is approaching...yep Next week I start school, the Easter Bunny has got me set for school lunches, but I am not sure how much I will need a lunch bag, since the lunches give you three choices to eat and a salad bar...so we will see just how much my mom will have to get up to make lunches for me??? So I am going to school completely made over. I got new glasses that you all saw, so my mom, nana and I agreed that a new do would be perfect for starting NEW!!!! Anyone else seeing a trend? Anyhow, I had a good month off but I am so ready to hit the books again! I hope you like my hair as much as we DO!!!!
have a good week.

2008-03-14T20:56:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys,

I told you I have been busy!!! But mostly with stuff that you would do for school field trips around here. My mom said since I have the month off, we could do stuff that was fun, but also had to do with school. There was tons to do here that had to do with Third Grade Science. I learnd about the Hurricane in Katrina and that Alaska has the most damaging Eathquakes and the most, I also learn about a family of Tigers that live in India and how they survive, and dental health and so much more i can't even begin to tell you. I learned alot, but it was so fun. Then when we got back from the Disovery Science Center we made Leprechaun Traps, and if you scroll down you can see pictures of that, too. MISS YOU! write me soon.

Leprechaun Traps by Brittany and Garrett

2008-03-14T20:42:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys,

Below you will see pictures of my cousin Garrett and myself as we prepare for St. Patty's day this coming Monday. My family is very Irish (my mom's maiden name is McGroarty and the family even has a Restaraunt in Donegal Ireland)and we believe that we can catch a Leprechaun to get his Gold. So after we picked my cousin up from his Day Care Center, we came home and my mom and Nana sat with us and helped to make our traps. I will let you know if it works or if they manage to get loose!

What a busy week!!!

2008-03-12T08:55:00.000-07:00

Hey guys,
There's nothing like hitting the ground running (meaning: we've been VERY buys). It has mostly been for fun. Since we have gotten alot on buisness taken care of like Brittany getting ready for her new school, and Miss Kelly getting job applications out there and .....get this....Miss Kelly is going back to school herself to become a TEACHER! but I have to wait until Summer to go to my new school. So this past Sunday Brittany got a chance to do some fun stuff with her Auntie Destiny, She went to Universal Studios and had a BLAST! once I get the pictures, I will put them in the blog. Then Yesturday (Tuesday) Brittany and I went to the L.A. County Zoo with her othe Auntie Robyn and Uncle Anthony,I have the pictures and I will post them in a little bit. Brittany has never been to a Zoo, so it was pretty fun, however it was like 85 degrees (pretty warm coming from Grove). This Thursday We are going to a Discover Science Center, were there is all sorts of hands on things we can look at and do! So keep and eye out for those pictures. We miss you and are glad to hear that you got your bookmarks, Brittany had fun making those. Brittany is excited about having this month off but at the same time knows that she'll also be in school June and August...her only summer month off is July and she will be there in Gorve, so keep an eye out at Java Dave's for her. Then when she comes back to go to school in August, she'll be a Fourth Grader, just like you. Their school year is from July to July. So every July Brittany will move up a grade...and her three months off will be November, March and July...that make up her three months you all get in the summer, she just gets them spread out so the Teachers don't have so much stuff to go over or re-teach when the kids come off of breaks! Miss Kelly and Britt sure do miss all of your shiney little faces and CHASE...It means a great deal to Britt getting ALL of your hand written letters...we have a special box they are going in. You are a good boy! Hope all is well at Grove Lower!

Labor Day weekend

2007-09-05T05:23:00.000-07:00

I had so much fun this past Labor Day weekend. My Nana and Papa came to see me. It was my Papa's Birthday too! we went to this place called Har-ber village here in town (it is like a museum), it was fun then we went to Springfield,MO and went to a place called Fantastic Caverns not as cool as Crystal Caves, but it was fun with my Nana and Papa. Then they left and it wasn't so much fun. I have a cold and going back to school was boring. But Halloween is coming and I am sure that will be fun...I hope everyone is doing good

First Week of the 3rd Grade

2007-08-23T17:41:00.001-07:00

I am sure you all are wondering how my week has gone...well to be honest it started out kind of rocky. No-body really talked to me and the school is WAY different. They give out FREE breakfast in the morning (if you get there early enough), school doesn't start until 8:20am and it gets out at 3:10pm and they do not have a recess all you get is like 15 minutes to eat your lunch and like 10 minutes to play before it is back to class. Everything is in doors (that's kind of nice since it is 98 degrees and 84% humidity, I hear it is nice in the winter time too. Today I had my first test, sentences...it was too easy...tomorrow I have 2 more test one on maps and globes and then a spelling test...easy words like...imagination, fresh and not...see I told you easy... I have made a few friends but no-one that I would call a GOOD friend just some aquantances. Today I started a dance class, it was fun. I hope all is going well with everyone please e-mail me if you ever feel up to it.

The day has come...

2007-08-16T21:17:00.000-07:00

Well, it is finally here I head to the 3rd grade early in the morning. School is from 8am to 3:10pm (longer day). It is different here, they give out FREE breakfast in the morning and because the weather gets bad, everything is inside. Kind of neat. I have been busy getting ready, today mom let me get highlight in my hair for the first time...I LOVE IT!!!
I am excited and ready for school, I will wright more after I get back after school to let you know how it was but for now I have to get to bed BIG DAY ahead of me.

My new class and teacher, Mrs. Hunsperger

2007-08-16T21:11:00.000-07:00

Gotta have the hair done before the first day of school

2007-08-16T21:09:00.000-07:00

10 days until School...

2007-08-05T20:43:00.000-07:00

Well today was TAX free day in MO and OK so we did some school clothes shopping and school supply shopping. We finished the supply list and some and got a couple of good clearance deals at places like Limited Too and Old Navy and Target it was fun. We also went to the movies and saw The Simpson Movie...HILARIOUS! Now we are home. In the morning my mom goes to register me into my new school and she is going to apply for a teaching asst. program there and here in OK you don't need a degree to SUB teach so mom is aslo going to apply for that you get $35.00 a day to Sub. anyway no pictures this time sorry maybe later. hope to here from you guys!

What I have been up to....

2007-08-02T19:31:00.000-07:00

Hi guys,

It has been awhile, but really this is Grove, OKLAHOMA we're talking about here...not much going on but " A Horse and a Carrage on Mulberry Street", But this week was a tad different, so I thought I would share. My Uncle Jason and Yo-Yo (My aunt Keri who I started calling her "Yo-Yo" when I was 2) moved to a new place in Norman, Oklahoma (really close to Oklahoma City and where Oklahoma University is.) So you guessed it, my mom, dad and I went to help move. Can you believe we had to walk up 2 flights of stairs to move things, they live on the 3rd floor, but it is a WAY bigger place, they need it since my first GIRL cousin is coming in 2 months. Anyway it was HOT and sticky and we worked really hard so mom and dad took me to the Museum to make it worth my while as a treat for helping...I have never been to a Museum before so it was really neat...Next stop the ZOO! On the way home we stopped in Tulsa and went to Target...WHAT A TREAT...it is true what they say about rednecks and Walmart... we will go to the ends of the earth for Target ;-) I got a few things since mom says I am growing like crazy... one cool thing OK has, is every year in August for one weekend they make everything TAX FREE...mom sayes thats AWESOME and we'll hit the stores this weekend for school. School starts in 2 weeks. Mom registers me on Monday, I am really nervous and it makes me miss my friends and aweful lot, so PLEASE write me or e-mail me. My Brown Nana sent me some clothes and a journal that I totally love and it helps me not feel so nervous about all the new things around here. Gizmo is doing good he is still small and cute ( I love him). Dora our cat is good too, but she doesn't like Gizmo so much, but they pretty much stay away from each other. Well that is it for now. I hope everyone is doing good in California....(sigh) California....Miss you all

Another summer day

2007-07-27T17:11:00.000-07:00

Hi guys,

I just wanted to write to tell you what I have done in the past couple of days. A couple of days ago Ms. Warhurst tought me a quilting trick and I almost have 12 squares sewn together. I have been reading my Magic Tree House books when I get board and tonight I went with my Nana Becky to go swimming at one of her friends house, but...she has boys...yuk! school is getting ready to start here they have the supply list out for all the schools around here. I miss you all and hope you are having a good summer I will send some more pictures tomorrow. Peace out!
