My dream

Hello everybody that reads my blog. Sorry for not posting in a while I've been busy with FUN! Well as you noticed the title of this story is called my dream. Do you have a dream that you want to come true? I know I do. My dream is to become an international rock star and/or movie star. It has been my dream for a while now. I've written a few songs by myself but I don't get my brothers guitar and do a tune I make the tune up in my head and then I put words to it. I know this sounds wierd but two bands actally inspired me to do this. The band were the Jonas Brothers and Weird Al Yankovic. They are both awsome but I think Weird Al is funnier and the Jonas Brothers have the good tunes. Anyway, if I don't become a rock star and/or movie star then I'd like to become a hockey player, if that doesn't happen an FBI agent, if I get one of those jobs then I'd also like to work at my granpa's store if I get one of those jobs or if I don't I love working at my grandpa's store.


Thank you

The Original Treadmill Cats

We received this from a SonnyRadio member in Australia. Our favorite cat is the one who stands on the floor with it's back
feet and "walks" on the treadmill with it's front legs. You can hear their owner in the background laughing as she speeds up the treadmill to see what the cats will do.

Just to let you know

Hello, I was just posting to tell you that we didn't burn Billy-bob. We vacumed him as you saw in the second video. Also I had a hockey tournament last Friday. We got into the championship and then lost. Then I did the shootout, I went first and I got out. Also I'm going on vacation the 4th of July and I'm not getting back until the 18th. And my cat Ocean has gone missing :(. But she's a smart cat I think that she'll get home before we leave.
So just letin' ya know what's been happenin' around here.

Billy Bob's death

Hello citizens that check my blog. I promised that I would give you the video of Billy Bob's death and I'm going to give it to you now. So grab some popcorn and enjoy the 2 videos and 1 picture. Here they are.

The monster the holds Billy Bob's remains. (sniff, sniff)

My yesterday sightseeings

Yesterday, I saw three amazing things with birds. I saw another Goldfinch on a catail on are pond, I saw a woodpecker or sapsucker I couldn't tell, and I saw the Osprey fly up into its nest. And It ends up that it's a electricity tower. I also had Roller Hockey practice. When we played the srimage against the other team I was the only one to make a goal. It was 1-0. Awsome!
Today I'm getting my braces off, going to a park with some friends, and my aunt and uncle ( Joe and Katie ) are coming over today.
My brother and I are arguing right now about if we can have the window open at night. I want it open but my brother dosen't because he say the stupid birds wake him up every day. The birds aren't even stupid. The birds help our natural habitat and they are a part af it to. So he has no means to call the birds stupid.
Adana just woke up! So the fun and trouble, has just begun.


Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!!!!!!!!

Goldfinch on Sat.

Hi, yesterday we were having a garage sale and while I was sitting there with my mom and sister Mcbride I saw a peculiar little golden bird fly into my neighbors yard. It flew onto a little vine thing. I told my mom look a Goldfinch! My mom said go and see if it really is a Goldfinch. So I went over and yeld back It is! I got my bird book and recorded about it. Also at our garage sale we made $298.56. We made a lot of money and sold a lot of stuff. Well I have to go load the dishwasher.

See ya.

Osprey at a park

Hi, sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I've been meaning to do it but I get sidetracked. Anyways I've seen a lot of interesting stuff lately. A hummingbird, an Owl, Osprey, Osprey nest, a bird shell on the ground, and HOCKEY! But I will only tell you two exciting things.
Well to start out with I have braces. I went to the Orthodontics today and he said that I will get my braces of next week. Wednesday the 11 I am getting my braces off! Sweet!
The next thing is that there is a Osprey nest on the top of a water tower at Battle Point Park. It is awsome!


See Yah!

The Ordway Carnival!!!!!!

Hi. last Friday, May second my dad, my brother, my sister, my 2 year old sister, and I went to the Ordway Carnival. Ordway is the schoold that my sister goes to. We had loads of fun. Except... There was one game that I stunk on. It was the Otter Toss. The ears of the Otter was 2 points, (points are purple tickets ) the tail, and the two arms were 1 point. I only got 1 or 2 purple tickets of of that. Then there was the Football Throw, Big Mouth Clown Toss, Cover The Dots, Baseball Toss, Tic Tac-Toe, and last but not least the Face Painting. I did the Football Throw and I rocked at that, the Otter which I stunk at, The Big Mouth Clown Toss which I didn't do good at either, the Baseball Toss which I did pretty good on, And the Tic Tac To which I rocked on. My favorites were the Football Throw and the Tic Tac Toe. I won lots of prizes. While we were there my mom was with some freinds going to see that play My Fair Lady. We all had lots of fun that night.

Hummingbird with a Cranney's peanut

So, while the Cranneys were here we went to a Barbecue Restaurant. And Karl the Cranney's oldest son but not the oldest child made a man out of a peanut. He gave him hair and called him Billy Bob. The whole entire night we looked for Billy Bob. We even tried to force the words out of him by threatening to hide his Game Boy but he didn't say a single word he just smiled and screeched No, No, No. You will not take Billy Bob. Yesterday, Thursday the twenty fourth I was In my room and saw something out of the corner of my eye. I got it and it was Billy Bob. I had found him. We were going to Execute him today also video taping it so I can put his death On my blog. It will be glory.
The day before I found Billy Bob my mom was out of the house to go get my sister from school. I stayed home because Adana was asleep. I got a fruit snack and went into the Homeschool Room. I was sorting my fruit snacks out when a Redish-Orange Hummingbird. It sat for two seconds then flew away. I saw eat some nectar on my neighbor's tree. It was so cool. That also means that Spring is coming and Bad, Old, Cold Winter is leaving us.

A Great Blue Heron and Roller Hockey after

Hay. Last Friday my freind Chloe, my brother, and I went to the Friday Homeschool day at Camp Seymour. ( See-more ) It was outdoor survival day. We got to go to this little shelter and make our own fire and cook our lunch over a fire. While we were walking my brother spotted a huge bird. It was in the tidepools. Our leader said that that bird was a Great Blue Heron. It was amazing! We had a lot of fun at Camp Seymor that day. We went home and relaxed.

The next day I had Roller Hockey try-outs. It was so fun. My helmet hurt my head for a little while and I felt sick from the helmet pain but I had a lot of fun and played hard. My first Roller Hockey game is May 17. At my try-outs we split into groups and did scrimages. I scored 3 goals and made the only goals on my team. If I passed to my team mates they would dribble it a little then hit it away from them so that they wouldn't have to face the tackle of the other team. The other team scored one goal.

That was one awesome Weekend.

CRANNEYS!!!!!!!

Hi, on Friday the 11 of April the Cranneys came over for 5 days. The Cranneys are our good friends from Turkey. When we moved here to Bainbridge Island, the Cranneys moved to Spokane. They bought a house in Spokane and lived in it for 8 months, then brother Cranney said: Um, yah. I found a job in England that's on the military were moving to England. Yep.

So they said they were going to get here Thursday, April 11 but then they called us saying hey the movers said they weren't going to be done until Thursday so were coming up Friday. I FLIPPED! Finally the Cranneys got here but they didn't have their Visa's that would get them into England. Finally, on the last day they were here their Visa's came. Again I FLIPPED!

They left Wednsday morning at 6:45 A.M. Bye, Bye Cranneys! WAH, WAH, WAH, WAH, WAH, SNIFF!!!

Bald Eagles

Hi again, I'm making up for that long time that I haven't posted. Well, yesterday was my first day of school since spring break. My mom assigned me a subject and since I finished my Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day book my mom has been assigning me projects and stuff and yesterday my first one began. It was pick a bird and find 2 websites and 2 books to learn and write about. Instead of 2 I got like 10. The bird I picked was Bald Eagle. They are truly fascinating creatures. I love them. I see at least 2 Bald Eagles a month. Baldies are types of Raptors. Raptor is another word for Bird of Prey. They aren't the only birds of prey, like Robins eat worms, some other birds eat insects flying through the sky. Raptors eat mainly fish. Sometimes an Osprey or other Raptor when they are trying to catch a fish that weighs to much will put the bird down because they don't know that it weighs too much so the bird will hold on and drown. Raptors also eat mice, dead animals, rabbits, also mountain sheep, and e.t.c. Eagles have very good eyesite. A Bald Eagle can see over a couple of miles and plan it's catch. A Bald Eagle's nest is found on big live pine trees and on ledges. They can weigh up to a couple of cars. A Baldies nest becomes huge because the nest they build they use that same nest for years repairing it and adding onto it. A Bald Eagles nest can become 15 feet wide and 20 feet deep.(Thats taller than a house.)

While I was in St. George, Utah

Hi, sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I've been really busy. I just got home from St. George, UT because I was visiting my relatives. While I was in Utah I kept seeing the same bird of prey like there would be two of them flying over a mountain that we drove by but the most fascinating times I saw it was when my brother and I were driving home with my grandpa. We were in the desert and all of a sudden I see a little speck over a mountain and it was just going around in circles and not flapping any wings so I thought it wasn't a bird. It was a bird though because it was going in circles getting lift ecah time it completed a circle so it had no need to flap any wings. When we were going down the mountains hill another one of those birds were following us by gliding with the wind getting lift every once and a while so again it had no need to flap its wings. Another time my mom, grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle, both sisters, my brother, and I went on a hike to the petrigliphs. While we were there we saw a jack rabbit. I just got a little glimps of it running away when I got to the bottom of the mountain. There were also these little birds about as big as a finch they had white all over their back and pink on their bellie. I also saw these two birds that didn't fly away from us in the car it ran on the street all the way to the sidewalk.

Indian Tribe

Hey geuss what. Ok, I'll tell you. For scouts I went to Chief Seattle's grave. We learned a lot about him. Seattle was named after him because he fought there to help the people in Seattle. He was the Chief of the Suqamish tribe. I saw his grave too. The grave had a rusted lighter and a lit bottle rocket. At one grave there were some beer bottles. At that grave yard there was a grave outlined by wood and in the middle of it there was a tall grave stone. I went to see what it was, and saw that the man that was buried there died at 101 years old and he was the last chief of the Suqamish tribe. On a grave, a person died at age 18.(sad huh.) We also went to a house that the tribe made called the "Long House" and the "Old Man House". They built that it by Agate Passage bridge but now it is gone. They are going to build a copy. My friend John said "I hate copies".
His mom, the Wolf den leader, said "John thats not nice".
Then John said "Well it's true, the real thing is better than the fake one".
Suqamish also mean clear salt water so when you look at the Agate Passage you can see that the water is crystal clear.

Long live Chief Seattle

Steller Jay

Hay, a couple of days ago I told my mom that I need something to blog about so I'm going to go birding. The day before the day I was going birding I was walking home from art and saw all of these birds it looked like half Blue Jay half Crow and half Cardinal. I was puzzled. The next day I went I went birding the next day and went up to that neighborhood and to my surprise I found it. I recorded about than went home and looked it up it was a Stellers Jay. I than typed up about it after I ate my Sloppy Joe. Also last Friday I was at a Camp Seymour and we saw a Bald Eagle carrying a stick. Also I've seen a Blue Jay in our yard and a something that looked like a Red-Tailed Hawk in our backyard but those were seen about a year ago.

Hamlet of Denmark

Hello,
Febuarary 19 was my mom's birthday. So since it was her birthday, my mom, brother, and I went to the play Hamlet at the childrens theatre because my mom thought that the real version (the movie) would be too scary for my brother and me. So we went and man it was fun except for the part that we sneakily ate food when they said no food, beverages, and/or gum. So we disobeyed the people, but who cares because we got Swedish Fish.

The play was very actiony and followed the book pretty good except for a couple times. For example, the daisy went to the king in the book, but in the play it went to the queen. And in the play, when Hamlet was about to die, Horatio was going to drink the last drop of poisoned wine because he said that he would rather go with Hamlet and die. Hamlet hit the cup out of Horatio's hands and dumped the last drop out then said, "You need to live to tell this story." But in the book, when Horatio was about to drink it, Hamlet quickly took the cup and drank the last drop and said, "You need to live to tell this story."

Zoo Pictures

Hi,

these are pictures that my family, grandparents, and I took while we were at Point Defiance Zoo. I hope that they come to your liking.

Have Fun!

My clumsy mistake

Hi again,
Yesterday, I noticed something. Here's the story. It was about 1:00 in the afternoon I was done with my schedule and I wanted to go on a Nature Walk. But then and there I noticed something. My feild notebook and binoculares were nowhere to be found. I then noticed that I had left my feild notebook in my binoculare case from going to Point Defiance Zoo. Then I noticed that I had left my binoculares and binoculare case in the car and the car was at a repare man. But, finally we got the car during the evening so I couldn't go. That was my clumsy mistake.

Hahaha

My passion of birds and Reptiles

My two most favorite animals to study about are birds and reptiles. Whenever I go to the zoo I always love seeing the birds and reptiles. When I went to Point Defiance Zoo in January they didn't have a lot of reptiles or birds. The had a Burmese Python which went to my interest and a Barn Owl that went to my interest. Birds and reptiles are my true passion. I love going to the pet store, here on Bainbridge Island there is just one pet store called Paws and Fins, which is little but has really nice birds and reptiles. When I go to Utah I bring my feild notebook and record about all of the nice cool and interesting creatures that are out in the desert. I like watching Animal Planet. My favorite show on Animal Planet is Most Extreme.

Started Birding

I am homeschooled. One of my subjects in school is science. My mom couldn't find me a book and she new that I loved animals. Finally she found a book called Flying Animals of the fifth day. The first subject of it was birds. It had many neat projects and one of them was make a field notebook. Then on a Friday that was cold and kind of raining my mom put on my schedule
Go on a Nature walk. I was puzzled and I asked my mom what a Nature walk was. She said "It's one of the things that animal people do to go and record about animals."

I was so excited. My mom showed me my Field notebook that I use to record about the animals. I ran outside and immedietly I saw a Red-Headed Woodpecker. I quickly grabbed a camera and tried to get some pictures of it. But luckily before I had gotten the camera I had recorded about it. When the flash clicked off it scared the bird into a tree. I then found a robin in my neighbors front yard. The Christmas of 2008 I got birding binoculares from my aunt and uncle. They were amazing. They could see far trees and birds circuling in the air but the coolest thing was that it looked like it was an inch in front of me. A couple of months before Christmas I spotted two Bald Eagles in a next door neighborhood. It was awsome.
