Narly the Rabbit

Here you see "Narly", the new pet bunny that Brock got as a present for his birthday from Aunt Megan. She always gives the best presents! Narly has flop ears and is so soft. He's very gentle and likes to be held. You have to be careful though, because he sometimes poops little pellets on you. We have him in a cage in our room. We line it with newspaper and he uses it like a kitten would a litter box. He is the sweetest pet. We all love him...even Mom lets him take a nap with her!

Happy Birthday to Brock

Here you can see Brock during his birthday party. He turned 7 years old on June 6th. He has the same birthday as Aunt Amy and Mimi's brother, Billy. Boy do we have a lot of birthdays in the summer! My cousin Ian has a birthday on June 3rd. My cousin Gracie has one on June 11th.
My parents gave Brock a new bike for his present. He's finally learned to ride without his training wheels, so they said he needed a new one. It's a real -looking bike! Brock was so excited when he saw it! Since he didn't need his smaller, older one, he wanted to give it to Isaac. Ike loved that! He was so happy to get a big bike like me and Brock!

A New Look and a New Year

It's been a year since I last posted. (Mimi has to help me as I don't know how to do the blog by myself.) Here is a photo of me with two of my cousins, Lance Greenslade and Miles Laga.

This past year we added 3 new cousins. Uncle Ian and Aunt Julia had a baby girl they called Kate. Aunt Kim and Uncle Mike had Miles, the baby here, and then Aunt Amy and Uncle Brian had their baby called Kaleb.

I love to hold them and play with them. Lance is a good friend to play with when he comes to visit every other week. He likes to come play with all of us as he doesn't have any brother and sisters or cousins that live near him and his mom. He loves being a big brother to Kaleb.

School Started

Here I am the first day of school. I like my class and am especially glad we have PE this year.


Paity loves it that she has 3 church friends in her class. She says her teacher is great.

Brock is so happy to be going to school with us. He was excited that he could spell and write out "happy" for Mom.

We all like our classes and our teachers. It's fun to see our friends again. I'm glad that all 3 of us get to go to school together this year. Paity and I look out for Brock.

My Summer Fun

I've had a great summer. We spent time with my family doing fun things. Here is a picture of me on the diving board inLance's grandma's pool. We've been invited to swim over there several times this summer. I wish we had a pool. It is so fun!

Uncle Brian and Aunt Amy have taken us out on their boat a few times. We have so much fun on the tube.

Aunt Kirsten invited us to come stay a few days with the cousins. They have a friend that invited us all to swim in her pool. It was cool! Uncle Randy played games with us and we had a blast!

Mimi and Papa took us to an outdoor drive-through wildlife zoo. We stayed in the truck and the animals would come up to us and let us feed them. Some of them stuck their heads in the window.

Here we are playing like we have a band. Paity and I put hats on and preteneded we had guitars. We had everyone laughing!

Mimi and Papa took us to the Dinosaur Park and we saw lots of statues of all kinds of dinosaurs. Here I'm inside the T-Rex's mouth.

This is front of the building where they have all kinds of things about dinosaurs. There was a museum and a "Dig" where we got to dig for bones or teeth of the dinosaurs. They had a nice playground to play on too. It was loads of fun! But boy was it hot! Papa poured water down my back and so I walked around with wet underwear the whole morning!

Flips and Volleyball

Swimming at Aunt Kimmy's

We had fun doing cannon balls....racing back and forth....jumping in with Isaac and eating pancakes afterwards. Aunt Kim is nice to invite all of us! We went out to lunch first and then came back to swim. It was a lot of fun because it was so hot!!!

School's Out!

School let out Friday. Hurray! No more homework for the summer! Mom checked us out early so we could all go to Six Flags. Aunt Amy, Uncle Brian and Lance went too. Aunt Megan was supposed to come but she got off work too late and decided not to. We had a blast! I rode the roller coasters and some of the rides that I haven't been able to ride before. Paity and I rode together and it was fun! Nobody took a camera so we don't have pictures.

Friday night Aunt Meg got tickets for all the family to go to the Ranger game at the ballpark.
We had fun watching the game together! I was hoping our other cousins could come too. After the game they had a great fireworks show! Brock was a little scared but he got over it!
Man was it cool!

My Little Brother

Brock just lost his first tooth! He was so excited to see what he looked like without it, that he climbed up onto the bathroom sink and dropped the tooth down the drain! Papa had pulled it for him, so Papa wrote a letter to the fairy to let her know that Brock had lost a tooth so she would come visit him without a tooth under his pillow! He did get some money but the tooth fairy came to Papa's house looking for that tooth!!!

WWII Army Tank

This was an armored personnel carrier to transport troops.

Papa took these pictures for us so we could see the army tanks and guns they used in WWII.

Splish Splash

It was so hot on Friday when we got out of school. Mimi had bought a new toy for letting us kids play in the water sprinkler. Aunt Kim, Abby and Isaac were visiting and so they invited us to come over and play with them in the water.

It was fun playing with Isaac. He would try to do whatever I did or would do what I told him too. He's so funny. He grins really big and tries to tell me stuff. I know he's excited to play.

School is Almost Out!

Just one more week and we're out of school for the summer! I can't wait! Mom and Dad are letting me go to Basketball Camp this year. I'm excited! It's the first time I've been able to go. It's the first week of June. I already bought my shoes. They give you a jersey and ball. Neat. Here's hoping I can learn to play really good.

Saturday at the Zoo

Aunt Megan took me and my brother and sister to the zoo yesterday. Aunt Kim and Uncle Mike came too, so we had a lot of fun with our cousins Abby and Isaac. We used the buddy system so we could all stay together and keep watch over the little ones. Aunt Meg's friend Aaron was Brock's buddy, my sister was Abby's buddy and I was Isaac's buddy. We saw all the animals and had a great time. Before we left, Aunt Megan took us to the gift shop and let us all buy a souvenier. She is a great aunt!

My favorite animal was the lion. Abby and Isaac liked the lion best too.
Paity said her favorite was the giraffe and Brock liked the alligator best!

It was a fun day with the family!

My Weekend

This weekend we celebrated my great-grandmother's 80th birthday. Mimi had a big party for her and invited all the family. I love it when my cousins get to come. Papa put up a new tether ball game and we had fun playing with it, throwing the football or playing with the play-station. For Mother's Day we all went to church together. It took 2 full pews for all of us! These are pictures my mom took of us.

Today's Book

For Accelerated Reading we have to read enough books that total 18 points. After we reach our goal we get to go on a field trip. The next AR trip is to the Hulen Park before school is out.

I especially like to choose books about things that interest me. Of course I love football. I guess you can tell by my blog title. Today's book is about Randy Moss. According to the author of this book, he is one of the greatest wide receivers in the NFL. He's 31 years old. He used to play for the Minnesota Vikings. Now he's playing for New England Patriots.

Father/Son Campout

Last night was our Father/Son Campout. We camped on the new property our stake bought to build our new stake building on. Our Stake President, Tom Carver, spoke about our camping this time every year as this was the time that the Prophet Joseph Smith received the Priesthood. I didn't know about that. They said it was symbolic to help us remember it and think about it. Papa said he learned something new too as he didn't know that!

My newest cousin, Lance, got to come with Dad, Brock and me. His dad couldn't come because he had to work. We passed the football and had a lot of fun and then had hotdogs before we heard Pres. Carver speak. We put our tents up and slept in our bedrolls. The weatherman said it might rain, but it didn't. It just got so windy during the night that the tents blew over and we had to come home at 3 in the morning. We still had fun even if we had to miss breakfast.

Weekend in Houston

I had fun this weekend visiting Uncle Ian and Aunt Julia. We went for surprise birthday parties for her and my mom. The whole family went, except our Mesquite cousins. I wish they could have come too.
Uncle Mike and I are wrestling. He's a cool uncle!


Uncle Ian made room for people to sit out in his garage. We had fun the next day playing outside and eating in there. It looks really cool with his signs on the walls. Here we're all making funny faces! We went swimming in the hotel pool. It was fun but the water burned our eyes really bad.

In the hot tub. Isaac loved this part. He could play by himself.

4-Wheelin at Aunt Amy's

One Saturday when it was nice and warm Aunt Amy and Uncle Brian invited our whole family, (that means all her brothers and sisters and their families) to come out for hotdogs and riding the 4 wheelers. Man was it fun! They have two big 4- wheelers and 2 small ones for my size and then 2 of those little jeeps for the little kids. They also have a huge trampoline and an above ground pool. We had so much fun! It was a blast! Thanks to them we all had a great time!

Summer's Coming!

Last summer my grandparents took us with them to South Texas on one of their business trips. We saw the house in Corpus Christi where Papa grew up. He drove down a main road called Ocean Drive where you see the water on the side of the road. Out in the distance you can see a ship out in the water. Then one day we got to go to Padre Island. Brock was scared of the water lapping up onto him, so Mom had to hold him. I can't believe Papa got to live here all his life and go to the beach whenever he wanted! It is so much fun!

Math Task Test Benchmark

This week in school we had a math test practicing for our Task Test. Out of 42 questions I only missed 4 and got a 90 for my score. I really do like math and so it doesn't bother me to take tests getting ready for the Task Test. I hope I can do really well on it.
