Maria Gets Baptized

 

When I got baptized I was excited to receive the Holy Ghost. I felt very happy and proud of myself because I made the choice to get baptized.

 

I loved Sister Dalton's talk. It made total sense that we can get baptized and then get the Holy Ghost but the Holy Ghost can go away if we do too many bad things. But you can get the Holy Ghost back by repenting.

 

In my confirmation blessing I felt very good and happy. I don't remember any words but my name was said. In the blessing I was told that God loves me.

 

I felt very happy that lots of people drove through the snow to see me baptized.

 

We had a party afterwards too. The best part was going in our room and eating our ice cream. My friends the Tolmans came, my cousins Diego and Speedo, and Jaden Czerwinksy and his brother.

 

It was my favorite baptism!! EVER!!!

My First Teeth I Lost

 

Yesterday I went to the dentist and got to watch a movie. I was watching the movie while getting my teeth wiggled out.

 

I had laughing gas!! I did NOT laugh.

 

But, I laughed at the movie. I felt a tingle in my mouth but was not scared.

 

The dentist sang me a wiggle song and was very funny. His assistant said that I was a good kid.

 

And I was so good that the dentist only paid us for one tooth!!!!!

 

The tooth fairy left me a cool water thing where you could dip jewels and they would change colors.

And she also left me a note. Now I know how big she is!! She's about the size of Eli's toy car.

 

I got a bouncy ball and a fluffy puppy from the dentist. It was a great day. Not great, AWESOME!!!

Yosemite Waterfall

 

We had a great time at Yosemite! We did 4 waterfall hikes!! It was fun. My legs felt tired.

We hiked everyday at Yosemite.

It looked pretty. There were trees, grass, bridges, waterfalls, rocks and the weather was warm.

We saw my favorite animal!!!! DEER!!!

 

We saw squirrels and birds.

 

My favorite thing to do there was take a hike on the really hard trail, Vernal Falls. The falls were very pretty. On the way we saw a fairy's hike to a waterfall too!

 

I felt happy there. I would like to go again because we wouldn't have to wait for breakfast!! The breakfast was waffles, yogurt, apples, oatmeal, cereal and mango orange juice. We made our own breakfast!! It was yummy!

 

 

The Lightening Thief

 

I like The Lightening Thief because it has Grover, who is funny, in it. Grover is a satyr which means he is half goat, half human.

 

Percy's scariest time monster fighting was the minotaur. A minotaur is half bull, half human. They are scary!!!!

 

Annabeth is daughter of Athena. She is a friend of Percy. She lives in San Francisco, California.

 

Percy Jackson lives in New York, New York. Grover lives in the woods.

 

Tyson is a friend of Percy AND he also is a cyclops. He's also Percy's brother. Their dad is Poseidon.

Tyson and Percy had been to Poseidon's Palace. Tyson has been there more than Percy has.

Junie B., First Grader Boo.... and I mean It

 

I read the book Junie B., First Grader 

Boo... and I MEAN It!

 

I liked it because she got apple. A funny part was when she wants to be Squirty the clown!! Clowns squirt water at monsters at Halloween. For Halloween I want to be Sleeping Beauty. My favorite candy is whoppers.

I love Tiana

 

I love Tiana because she cooks! And I like to cook.

 

I can cook Nachos. It is fun to cook nachos!

 

The movie is nice because Tiana becomes a princess at the end. Navine changed at the end. First he was a prince, then he was a frog, then Tiana turned into a frog....

Narnia

 

I like Narnia because it has Lucy and Susan. It is fun to read Narnia.

 

Narnia is a magical land where animals can talk and where the white witch lives.

 

Aslan rules Narnia. Aslan is my favorite character because He is King. Aslan is a nice lion. He unfreezed all the statues that the white witch freezed.

 

What book we are reading right now is The Silver Chair. I hope Jill will see Eustace again!
