Beach Saturday

   Last Saturday, Mom and I went to pick up my Aunt Sandy and were heading to the beach! We didn't do a whole lot it was just a relaxing day at the beach. We did our usual walk and then went in the water for a little bit. After that we laid in the sun and soaked up its warmth. She gave us some of her clothes and we put some of them on and went to Wally World (Walmart). I needed some socks and puffy paint to decorate a pair. We came home I took a shower and went strait to work on those socks. I took outta pair and taped up the opening. I laid out some newspaper on my bed and started writing cowboys  things on the socks with the puffy paint. I did a side of each sock and then I had to wait 4 hours until it was dry! It finally dried and I did the other side! I knew he would love them!

                                               Bye for now!

Second Volley Ball Game!!!

  So I'm skipping Wednesday, because all I did was go to work with Mom and practice. It wasn't that interesting, so now you guys know that I might skip days that are boring.

        
   On with Thursday! So Today, I went to work with Mom and practiced, practiced, practiced! When we got home I was able to rest a few hours, before we had to go to University High. I was really excited and wanted to redeem myself from last volley ball game. At the last minute Mom re-read the email, and found out we had to be there earlier. We left a few minutes later in order to get there earlier, but we still were there about 15 min before the game started. When the game started I was actually kind of nervous at first until I was finally in the game. I still can't serve over the net yet, but I'm sooo close, I just need to practice more and I know I will be able to do it. I didn't play that bad. I was actually pretty good. My coach said that I need to stop swinging my arms and push up more with my legs. We went into "over time" and who ever had 2 points more first they won. We finally got 2 points ahead and ........... DRUM ROLE PLEASE ............... WE WON!!!! We were soooo happy!!! And to celebrate my teams win, Mom and Daddy got Chick-feala!!! I love Chick-feala and I think even if we didn't win, we still would've gotten Chick-feala! It was so food, but when is it not!


    That was my day, pretty exciting, huh! I will try to do as many blogs tonight as I can, I know I'm really behind. I will try to get caught up before vacation!!!


                                                       Bu-Bye!


   P.S. Sorry for whatever that white thing is that's bordering those 2 paragraphs. I don't know how to fix it!

Back to Tuesday

   Soooo sorry I haven't posted in a while! I'm either busy, or Daddy is on the computer, looking at more guns and stuff! So I'm very sorry! I will try to do as many blogs today as I can, at least, hopefully, 3 for today, 3 tomorrow, 3 the-day-after, and 2 the-day-after-that! So if I'm not doing much and I'm at home alone, I will try and blog as much as I can.

   Ok, now that that's done, lets go back in time to last week's Tuesday. Today I stayed home and didn't do much except watch TV, read and be a bum. I think I blogged but I'm not sure. Once everyone got home, I was still a bum. Then Mom and I got ready for Zumba, which was at 6:30. This time we made it to the class and got Zumba cards! I only stayed for half the class. because I had volleyball practice at 7:00. I'm getting sooo much better. " Practice makes perfect!" Right! When I was done with volleyball, I found out we had another game on Thursday, at University High School. I was kinda nervous, because, even though my serving has gotten better, I still couldn't serve the ball over the net! But I still had 'til Thursday to practice so maybe I would be able to get it over the net before the game. I went to the 7:30 Zumba that was right after the 6:30 one, same instructor and everything! Mom had stayed through BOTH classes! I did around 2 or 3 songs and had a bad cramp. I sat down outside and waited for the class to end. To surprise Daddy when we got home I changed into my jersey, I forgot to tell you, we got our jersey's in practice, too! I will see if I can get a pic on here when we get home. It's a really nice jersey, Mom said that it helps you sweat better, and cools off your body, or something like that. The class ended and Mom and I went home, I think Daddy played a video game, but I'm not sure. I wish I could remember everything and be positive about it, but I guess I should have taken every spare time to type this. Oh well, I'm 98% sure this happened!

       Once again sorry I haven't posted in a while! I will catch up some day!

                                              Slan!
                                  ( Goodbye in Irish)

I MET JOHNNY'S HOUSE WITH LAURA & BRIAN!!!

I found out that they were coming to DeLand a few days ago on the radio! I wanted to go right after I heard it, but I had to wait until today. So we heard them wrapping up and was like, " C'mon they're wraping up we gotta go see them!" At first I was being a groupy and watching him. Then Connie, one of Mom's coworkers who came with us, kinda pushed me a little over to him. By the way that's Johnny! He is so funny! My favorite line from their radio station is from him; They were talking about how eating of of blue plates make you eat smaller portions and then he said, "Hey, that's blue plate!" I say it all the time and laugh every time I say it! They gave me free stuff too! A poster of the new movie   Brave, a Johnny House mug, some pics of them in, what looks like a, Johnny House photo booth, an XL106.7fm cup and stickers and sticky notes and pens, and a Lipton 100% Natural Iced Tea coozy! I also met everyone else in the bottom pic. (From left to Right) Brian Grimes, Johnny Magic, Me, Connie,Laura Diaz, Claire Scatter, and Mom. The pic before last is one with Brian Grimes in front of everyone! Mom was taking the pic and I don't know where Claire Scatter was, but you could see everyone in that pic, everyone but me that is! I'm so short!!! Ya it was the best couple minutes ever!!! Although I guess he didn't hear me when I said my name, because he call me "Ricky!" I guess that can be my alias!

Oh and I didn't skip Tue-Thur I was just really excited and had to do this first, but I will do those days! Oh I also found out how to post pics, Mom finally showed me! Yay! I can post all my pics now!

Aunt Laura Sewing Day!

    So, a few days before Monday, Aunt Laura and I made plans for me to come over to her house on her day off and make my bag. Gramps had gotten me some fabrics and instructions to make a bag for my Birthday. Aunt Laura remembered about it, I didn't at first, and we planned a day to start. It was fun. We got a lot done! We cut ALL the fabric out and, I think it's called, fused the lining and the regular fabric together. I'm pretty sure I'm going again next Monday, or whichever day she has off. We would've finished, but I had my Junior Orientation at the Library at 2:30. The orientation was fun, too. We learned what days had what, when the crafts were, face painting, balloon animals an we even hung up glow-in-the-dark stars and balloons! I actually have a NEW day that I work! I will start on Thursday 2-4, to help with the kids craft! I still get to work on the Friday too!!! I think I will be doing Thursdays though and not Fridays. I think it's gonna be so much fun, to do volunteering at the Library and finishing my bag!

Nick Broke Down!!!

   Sunday, I had the whole day to me self! It didn't feel like it though, because I got up around 11. Mom woke me up around 9ish, I'm not sure I was tired and didn't look at the clock, and asked if I wanted to go with them to pick help Nick. I said, "No" of course, because I was tired and I would be SO bored. Nick was with his friends on their way to Combat City, a shooting range, in Orlando. Something was wrong with his Radiator, so his jeep broke down. I stayed home and watched TV and read and watched youtube videos on crafts that could decorate your room. I called in every hour to tell Mom I was ok and eventually they came home around, maybe 1, I really don't know. I did the same things I did when they weren't home all day. I also started the video game Daddy was playing. It was nice to listen to the rain. It was more of a relaxing day than a nothing day. If it hadn't been for the rain, it would have been a nothing day. I liked it and I will make things more interesting. Lately they really haven't. Sorry, and I hope you've been enjoying them anyway!

                                                        Hej!
                                               (This is in Swedish!)

Do Nothing Day

   Eh, sometimes you need to rest some days during Summer. From what remember, we didn't do anything. The most I did Saturday was do some lessons in my Summer Math Book, read and watch movies on TV while Daddy was watching the race. I took a shower when I was finished with one movie and Daddy stopped playing his video game. We went to Walmart. Daddy looked at rifles, Mom went grocery shopping and I bought 2 cute shorts and 1 pair of flip-flops that will go with any outfit I have. It wasn't exciting, and I didn't do much. I need at least 5 of those days over summer.

     I kept my promise and may exceed it after this!

                              Goodbye!

   Friday I went to work with Mom, but it was actually fun. One of Mom's coworker's son, Jake, came. Nick also tagged along with Mom and I, so he could look at a car he found. So Jake and I hung out for a little while, and Nick went somewhere down town. He came back and we all hung out until it was time that Nick had to go look at the car. Jake and I went along with. We got to take the van because it was raining! We got there a little earlier, so we went to this place, called "Red Barn", a drive through store like 7-11. I didn't have my wallet so Nick payed for my tea I got. He is so sweet......every blue moon! We cam back and we looked at the car. It was actually an old truck with no bed. It had AC and it could start, but it was kinda.........well, it didn't look like it could make it to Orlando, which is where Nick's new job is. We came back, got bored, and walked around down town. We went through stores and looked around and then bumped into one of Nick's friends. We talked and then went back to the Beacon. Nick took her to her Mom, when she came to take her to a restraunt, somewhere down town to say, "hi!" Nick left to go home, I guess. Jake and I hung out until he left. I blogged and then played on the computer until Daddy came to pic me up. We waited for Mom to come home, to see if she wanted to got to a restraunt/bar with a couple of Daddy's old work friends. She didn't want to and Daddy, Nick, Charlene and I went. We got there when everyone was leaving so we just went to Chickfeale, might of spelled that wrong. Mom was happy, really happy, because we actually asked her, at first, about McDonald's and then when we decided on Chickfeale we didn't call her to tell. We relaxed and watched TV the rest of the night.

     Sorry I haven't blogged. I never felt like it when I had time. But I will do at least 1 tomorrow, and you'll find out why it might be only 1. And 2 the day after and whatever is left the day after that!

                                               Au Revoir

   P.S. That is "goodbye" in French!

Volleyball Game!

     Thursday i went to work with Mom. All I did was blog and play on the computer and practice volleyball. We came home and Mom rested, and tried to take a nap, until Daddy got home. Mom and I went to the Used Book Store, because Mom wanted to look at poetry. I got bored and looked around. Last time I came a girl working there showed me a book that was almost like the Hunger Games. It was about "The Society", comparing to the Capitol in Hunger Games, deciding where you live, who you love, and when you die. A girl, named Cassie, Finds out who she marries and her best friend flashes up on the screen. Then before the screen goes blank a different picture shows up. Now Cassie has always respected The Society's choices, but is now crossed between perfection and passion. So I bought that book, because even if I didn't like it, I could read it next year maybe. I wasn't sure last time, but I feel really good about this choice. Mom bought 6 poetry books, she had 9. Then we went to the Dollar Tree. I wanted to make an earring holder and I found on Youtube how to make one, but I needed 2 things, a picture frame and something that holds plates and stuff in place on a shelf. I bought it and I put the hold-in-place shelf stuff inside the frame and put paper on top of that. I put the back on and then I had to get ready for Zumba. I changed into my volleyball shorts and a shirt, because the jerseys haven't come in yet. And brought my knee pads. Mom, and I did Zumba and I left a few min early to put on my knee pads and go to my team. We had to wait a little bit, and then we practiced for around 5 min. Couch gave us our spots and the game started. I sat out the first round and then I was server, I'm not a great server, but when I was a passer in the front row, I made this awesome pass and I'm pretty sure I got my team a point. At the end we ended up loosing. That is ok though. Couch was happy with what he was saw, he said, " If you were all born natural volleyball players, you wouldn't need me and I wouldn't have a job!" He just said that we wants us to communicate more and go for the ball. He also said that if we through a bad toss, let it fall and try it again, because if you make a bad serve, the ball goes to the next team. If you make good serve you get 3 more serves. I think the game went well. We came home and I wanted fast food or something. We didn't get it because Daddy already ate and Mom didn't have her wallet. I ended up making nachos. They tasted good, who doesn't love nachos! Daddy played video games and we all relaxed the rest of the night.

                                             Ciao!

Wednesday, not much to it = /

   Wednesday, I went to Mom's work, because I needed to practice volleyball. There's this big storage room in the back that I practiced in. Then it happened.......... I HIT THE BALL ON THE ROOF!! The walls of the Beacon don't go all the way to the ceiling in the back, so there's this huge chunk that is like a roof under a roof! And I got it stuck up in there. Of course with my luck! So i played on the computer and did other things that I can't remember right now (I'll post if I do). And Daddy didn't know I was at Mom's work, because I DID say that I was gonna stay home. Mom told me to call him around 4:30 to ask where he was. He had been home for about 30 min! He came to pick me up and I asked him if he could get my ball down. He just grabbed a ladder and climbed onto the roof and got it. Mom and I where in shock, because the roof is on top of a room but the ceiling is like a metal grid so Mom and I tried poking the ball with a stick to get it off! We came home and I was a bum. Mom didn't get home 'til after Zumba. So that was my day, not much to it. Nothin' exciting happened!

                            Bye have a good night!

A Whole Bum Day! =D

    So Tuesday is exactly what the title says it is! Daddy took another day off work. I played on the computer most of the time and relaxed the rest. While relaxing Daddy would usually be playing " Crash Bandicoot" a game he started Monday during the 1/2 bum day part! We ate leftover junk food throughout the day. This is really short but I don't know what else to say. WAIT, YES I DO!! Mom came home and then she had to go to interview someone and sh told me to get ready for Zumba, at 6:30, by the time she came home. When we got there, they were all out of Zumba cards for that class! Luckily I had volleyball practice at 7. Mom and I jumped on an elliptical for 30 min. I went to volleyball practice and I have gotten better at passing! The team on the other side of the net challenged us to an actual game of volleyball!! It was fun, but we lost. That is OK though, but we need to practice a lot because we have an actual game Today!!! At least I think it is, I'm pretty sure though.

     

A dinner at the Rinderle's

    Monday was the 1/2 bum day! We lounged around and relaxed from weeks of preparation for Nick's graduation party! It was nice I got a great sleep, and I didn't have to wake up to Mom cleaning and saying, " at ??:?? we will start cleaning, this and this and this, have a break and then clean this and this and this!" Around 4 Mom said that we should start getting ready to go to Zumba! Then Daddy reminded us that the Rinderles had invited us to dinner and a couple of other people in Daddy's class at 5. My Daddy has known the Rinderles ever since St. Peter's. He is friends with Eddie Rinderle. We got there and everyone started talking imminently. Mr. Rinderle talked to me and gave me this game they had gotten at Cracker Barrel. It was so addictive and apparently I'm the best at it! Dinner was awesome, hot dogs, baked beans, potato salad, and home made cookies!!!  Mr. Rinderle and I started talking about the Civil War and he showed me all of his books! It was really cool and I think I know what to do for my next Social Studies fair! The adults talked a little more and then we decided to leave. We left around 10.I think it was a wonderful day!

Nick's Graduation/Graduation Party!!!

   First of all, sorry I haven't posted in a while, most days I was busy,except for 1 1/2. So, I will post today, Sunday & Monday, tomorrow, Tuesday & Today. That way I won't be over loaded with blogs, and I can still get back on track faster and easier!

   Back to Graduation! So we bummed around all morning and did some last-minute-cleaning (well Mom did!) Everyone was a bum after the cleaning. Around 12:30ish I started getting ready (thinking we were leaving at 1:30 instead of 2:15!) So I really just waited until everyone else was ready. Then we left, we were actually early! (for once!) We waited and talked with Mom's parents until the doors opened and we got really good seats, front row! And then waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited ..... JUST FOR IT TO FINALLY START!!!! It eventually did and Charlene, Nick's girlfriend, and I played tick-tack-toe, I think it's called, boxes ( you make dots and then you make lines and if you create a box you get an extra line, and the person who gets the most boxes wins\,) we also played MASH, it's hard to explain, but you right down 2 things in a section, like Job, State/Country, Car, and then the person giving you the test gets to pick the last one! You make a box and draw tally marks in it until the person says, "stop" and however many tally marks there are you start counting and crossing off things of the lists. And then it's tells you what your future will be like, by the way Mash stands for Mansion Apartment Shack House. I guess it wasn't that hard to explain! Then Nick started texting me throughout the ceremony, Mom found out and told us to stop, but he still kept texting me! FINALLY, he got his diploma and Charlene and I started to count down the rows and guessing how many where left! It was finally over with!!!!! Charlene and I walked back to the car, walked back, wanted to walk to the car again when we found out they were about to take pictures! Surprising I know, me not wanting to take pictures, I was tired and I couldn't see because of the Sun. But Nick told me if he was gonna suffer than I was too! So that was it for the ceremony.

   The party was really fun!! We played "Just Dance 3" a little and I took pics of Nick playing it, he didn't want to, but Charlene made him because he promised her he would one time! I would post them, but reason 1, I still don't know how, reason 2, they're on Mom's camera not mine! Ya it was a big hangout party, everyone talked and ate and it was a normal party. Nick, not liking normal, decides he was going to wrestle his friends! It was funny, but I am not proud to say he is my brother! Ha! Ha! Just kiddin'! Even if I wasn't, which some times I'm not, I have to deal with this quot, " You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family!" I really do like him as my brother, we need at least one insane person in the family! And one of Nick's friend's mom, brought in this awesome cake she made, it had a giant R2D2 in the back made out of cake, and then in the front it had a ton of star wars characters as cake pops, most of them were Ewaks!!! I LOVE EWAKS!! I WANT ONE!!! In the front were cake pops that said something like, "Congrats Nick, 2012" or " Nick's Graduation, 2012" I didn't really pay attention to the writing, because I was eating it!!!

      The party was awesome, and I'm really proud of Nick! I didn't cry or anything, but I showed my love like any sibling would do! I wrote on the graduation paper that we all signed, " Sadly I'm not getting your room! Lol! I love ya Nick!!" Those are my exact words, it shows how I'm his sibling and that I love him!!! He really is an awesome brother! I would miss him when he goes to collage, but he will still live home, it'll just be like it is now, he will never be home!! That was the party and I think Nick had a lot of fun!!

BIGGER Cleaning Day, continues ......

       Today was pretty much the same deal, I woke up around 10, except Mom went to Wally world! So I didn't have to start cleaning until she came home! She did though around the time Uncle Matt and Aunt Laura came to take back they're power washer! I started cleaning, it felt like 30 min, but it took like 15 min. So there was nothing for me to do, so I started looking for videos on an earring holder. I got bored and took a butter knife and started taking out staples in my door. It was entertaining and hard! Entertaining, because, well actually I don't know why it just was, and hard because some of the staples, and that's actually a lot, were in there pretty good! It was worth it though, my door looks great now! So then I did the same thing when Mom asked me to help her clean the back room. Fun right!? Nothin' better than cleaning for some Mother-Daughter-Time! So I helped fold the laundry and clean it. Then we did some last-minute shopping and then went to Wendy's! I don't care how many calories are in there chicken sandwiches, I still love 'em! We ate it on the new bench Daddy made out on the porch, which, if your going to the party tomorrow, you will see. At least until I can get the pic thingy working! After that I tried getting the pic thingy working, didn't work, sorry i couldn't!!!! And now I'm writing this!

     Like I yesterday, "anything interesting, I will post it!"
                               For now blog viewers, Goodbye!!!!

BIGGER Cleaning Day!!

   So this was my day today, I woke up around 10:30, because I went to bed around 12 so
I slept in. I blogged after 10 min of being up and around 10:35 we started cleaning. I cleaned the living room really well and took a small brake. I was about to start helping Mom with the rest of the kitchen when Nick came to save me! He asked me if I could help load the van with a pile of junk/trash (which ever way you want it). After we were about half way done Nick asked Mom if she could help because it was raining and we weren't hast enough. So, she said yes and right when she came out it stopped raining! She still helped but it literally stopped right when she walked out! It was like the Universe wanted to make Nick and me look like we lied! " Thanks a lot Universe!" When we finished I rinsed off in the shower, because you can't CLEAN when you're DIRTY! They are oxymorons if you put them together! Then I helped Mom finish the kitchen, " Thanks again Universe!" We finished that and started the dining room. The dining room was actually easy! We finished in about 15 min. I took a small brake and started to finish cleaning my room. Which reminds me, I need to put a few things away but other than that I'm done and I'm catching up on my blogging right now, because I'm talking in present tense, so I fulfilled my accomplishments! Daddy and Nick cut up wood, for the new fence they're building, while I was cleaning my room. I finally stopped sometime between 5 or 6, and I will put those few things away tomorrow, and started watching TV and relaxing. Mom made dinner, Philly Cheese Stake Hamburger Helper. It sounded gross at first, but once I tasted it I went back for my other half of my portion! After dinner I played on the computer and I guess that leaves us back to right now! Now didn't my day sound SO FUN!? I wasn't completely horrible. And if I have volleyball practice tomorrow it will make up for it

    So, something interesting DID happen afterward! It was too late to post after I did it though. So I looked up videos for making a necklace holder, because that was mostly what was on the floor in my room, and I found one! So it said to take a ribbon and just put it up with thumb taks. I made it and I was able to put all my necklaces on it AND all my bracelets! Told ya you would never miss a second of my life! Ha! Ha!

       P.S. HAPPY START OF A NEW MONTH!!!! It is now June! I need to work on a Father's Day Present!!!

      P.S.S. You are probably wondering how I got the pic of Mom's Bday and how I didn't get the pics about Epcot and my necklace holder. Well,  it's because I got that off of Daddy's facebook. Maybe I should just ask Mom or Daddy to post my pics on facebook so I can get them and they will actually SHOW UP! What do you, my fellow blog viewers, think?

Game Day!

     Thursday, I DID NOT go to Mom's work. We pick up Mom's coworker, Micheal, and Shannon, his wife, invited me to play video games with her! It was a lot of fun! I had done it once before so I had no problems saying "yes!" We played video games all day and then she dropped me off at Mom's work around 1ish. I finished filling out my Library Volunteer Application and walked to the Library. I turned in the form and she gave me a slip of paper saying, " Orientation, June 11 2:30" and " First Day, June 15, 12 to 2!" So I have a job! I got back and Mom said she wanted chocolate covered bacon and that I need to go get Nick to get her some at the candy store. Technically I can walk there by myself, but she said that Nick and I could get something, too! Nick also got chocolate covered bacon and I got chocolate covered rice crispy treat! It tasted like a bite of Heaven! We went shopping for Nick's graduation when we got home and we also got knee pads and a volleyball! We also got Mikkidies. After we ate I had volleyball practice. I found one thing I'm good at, running then jumping and hitting! That's about it though, I will get better though! Our team name now is called the, Purple Thunder! We came home and I lied about catching up on blogging and cleaning my room, but today I will do both, but I won't promise anything. Ha! Ha! So I did do my laundry, but that's it! So I just rested and watched TV for the rest of the night. So   besides the, not catching up on blogging and not cleaning my room, I think this day was pretty succeful!
