Turning 8

I was waiting a long time to turn 8. Finally I got there. I was happy, because I got lots of presents. A lot of people were there to look at my presents. One of my uncles, Josh, missed my birthday party. He had to go home, and take care of his dog Jack. He is a fun dog. Jack left 2 days before I was 8. I had the best birthday party.

I had my birthday party at my grandma's house. I got a purse made out of a little pair of pants from mom. I also got a pearl necklace, bracelet, and earrings from Kelly. Sterling gave me some littlest pet shops. I like them. My grandma gave me a build-a-bear card that had $50 on it.

I went to the mall with my grandma. She was holding my card for me. We were having a little bit of trouble finding the store, but we found it. I made a dog. It was white and brown. I picked out a big bed for her, and pink clothes. The skirt had a bow. The shirt had "Texas" on it, out of sparkles. They also gave me free bows for her ears and tail. They were red, green, and 2 light pink bows. I named my dog Sparkler.

Grandma and I looked around the mall, because there were lots of other stores in the mall. We got to go on escalators. That was fun. I took my dog for a walk around the mall. My grandma took lots of pictures of me. Grandma put me over a fence that was closed , and told me to stand by the Christmas tree. There we presents under the tree, but they were not real. There were big BIG ornaments on the tree. I also got to see the chair that Santa sat in. Then we went outside, it wasn't very cold outside. We got in the car, and my grandma almost forgot to go to the store to get a cake, but I reminded her.

We got a cake that had rings on the sides that were shaped like flowers. There were 8 candles on the top. The frosting was really frosty! It even said on the top: "Happy Birthday Winter". I opened the presents before we ate cake. I ate the cake after my presents, because I wanted to open my presents first. I love presents. I love the cake too. There was lots of frosting! And you know, I like frosting.

We stayed at my grandma's house for a long time. I almost forgot about my own house. As soon as we were on the road, I remembered my house. When we got home, we played a new Wii game, that I got for my birthday. But it was a little to hard, so we started playing Super Mario Brothers. There were lots of games, but they were really hard. My mom and dad were the best at them. They played more than us. But that was okay, because I like watching.

It was a great Birthday because I had the best day of my life!

The Soap

Once there was a bar of soap just lying in the sink. Five seconds after somebody washed their hands the soap bar came to life. He climbed up and out of the sink. He jumped off the counter and hit the floor. When he did, a corner of the soap broke off, but he did not mind it. He just got up, and went into the living room. It was very dark. He started to get sleepy, so he went into a big bedroom. He saw a small bed. He ran and ran until he got there. He got into the little bed, and he slept all night. In the morning, he heard footsteps, so he got out of bed and went to the front door. Just then somebody opened the door. As the person went outside, the soap went out. He walked around the city. He was having a great time, when he slipped and broke another piece off. He didn't mind it though. He just got up, and kept on going. Then he got tired of the city, so he went to Plano and went into an office. It was dark and spooky. He was very scared, but he kept on going. Just then, the lights turned on, and the soap went and hid. The person just got some papers and left. But she forgot to turn the light off and shut the door, so the pack of soap was not scared at all. He kept on walking. Then he went into another room, and the lights were on. In that place there was a desk and a lamp, and it also had candy. Here were the types: gum, gummy bears, hershey bars and snickers. He got on the desk, and took a piece of gum. He ate it, and jumped off the desk. Just then, he saw a little chair. So he ran to it, and climed on and took a nap. When he woke up, he got out of the chair, and went into a crazy room. It had crazy stuff. The room was upside down, and it was filled with candy that was alive. There was a candy cane sleeping on the roof. There were dancing blocks. The soap was amazed. He started to dance with them. Pretty soon it was night time, but he was having too much fun to even sleep. So he danced the night away. The End.

The Turkey and the Feast

It was Thanksgiving day, and turkey was getting ready. On his morning walk, he saw racoon. He asked her this: "Can I invite you to my feast?" "OK" said the racoon, so on they walked in cold air. They they saw a big bird, and the racoon asked him if he wanted to come to turkey's feast. "OK".

So they went back home and started to cook. They carefully followed turkey into his kitchen. They blindfolded the turkey because they secretly wanted him to be the dinner. They made him walk up the stairs, to go into the oven. He went in and they slammed the door shut. Fifteen hours later they go check on the turkey. When they open the oven door the turkey is inside. He is laying peacefully. The racoon touches him gently to see if he is dead or alive. The turkey's eye pops open and he says: "You forgot to preheat!" Happy Thanksgiving!

Leafs

Once upon a time there were some leafs that were falling. Two of them came alive. When they did, they grew legs and arms. One leaf said: "When we get on the ground, lets walk around in the city." "OK", said the other leaf. So when they hit the ground, they started to walk to the city. When they were in the city, they looked around and they saw people. One of the leafs said, "come on, lets go to a big building". "OK", said the little leaf, and so they went to a big building. When they did, someone stepped on them, and that was the end of them.

The Spider

Once there was a huge spider. He was walking around the woods, and he saw a huge tree. He wondered if there were even more spiders in the tree. So he thought for a few minutes, and then he got so curious that he started to climb the tree. When he got to the top of the tree, all he saw was a little owl. The owl started to scare the huge spider, so the spider started to climb down the tree. As he was going down the tree, he saw a fluffy caterpillar. He said: "Why are you rushing?" "Because there is an owl that was scaring me. Why... because my uncle Fern got killed by an owl. And... I do not want to die". He started to walk down the tree some more, and then he was safe. The End.

Rat Snake

This is my dad who is pretty funny and one time he caught a rat snake. I hope you do not scream
when you hear this. The rat snake spit out a rat.

The cat of the day

I love the cat that I took a picture of because it is a cute cat. I like his tail, because it is so soft. I like his eyes too, cause they're green. And I like green. I love the cat the best. I like the colors on its fur.

The cat likes to run around and when I come home from school, it comes to me, and wants me to pet it. Sometimes he is cuddling up with the littler cat that we have. The cat does not like to get wet. I like it soo much that I want it to be my pillow, because it is so fuzzy.

I don't really know his name. When we got him, he had gooey stuff by his eye. It took a while to get it all off of his eye. But now he's grown up, and it's all gone away.

Second Grade

Mom came back yesterday. It was lots of fun to see her in the morning.

Today was the first day of school. I am in second grade right now. I love second grade a lot!
We learned about a Ven-diagram. It is when you can put something, like a circle or triangle, together and one is at the bottom, and the other one on top of the other one, halfway. (like the circles on the olympic games logo)

I like my new teacher. Her name is Ms Garner. She is the best second grade teacher I have ever met. I like her because she is nice to us.The first day of school didn't seem too long to me. We had to do things that made the day seem shorter. We played with play-doh, and colored. And we put all of our stuff away, like our crayons, markers, and our pencils.

Some of my friends who are in my class, were also in my class last year. One of them is name Annie, Danna, Cameron, and Idreas. There are 15 kids in my class. Cameron, Annie, and Derin are sitting at my table.

Farm day's

We go swimming almost every day in the lake. our new boat is dirty but we still like it......

mom is on a trip to Utah right now but that is ok because were having a fun anyway

once I thought I was going to fall off the four-wheeler but I didn't.

Days in the Lake

This boat is new and we are riding in it today. I hope that tomorrow we get to go in the boat again. It is a great boat. The boat is in the middle of our lake. I am having lots of fun because you can dive off of it. I like how the water feels in the lake. It feels like you are in a tub of bubbly water. I don't like to swim in the seaweed so I stay near the boat where there is no seaweed because in the middle there is not very much seaweed. There's lots of seaweed by the sides of the lake. My dad, Sterling and my sister Ginger went in the boat and took a little ride. Justin (our dog) came too. With Justin it was a lot of fun because we got to pet him and we got to do lots of things with him. I like diving off the edge of the boat. Ginger and Sterling wore lifejackets, but me and my dad didn't because Ginger and Sterling don't know how to swim that well. Sometimes I used floaty toys because sometimes I might have drowned and I just threw it in the lake so that if I needed it I could just swim over and get it.

This is a picture of me. My dad took the picture.

I took a picture of my dad, Sterling and Ginger while they were in the water. The dock is behind them if you look closely. There is land and some seaweed too. And if you look close enough you might see what holds the boat onto the truck.

There is Sterling chasing my dad. He likes to chase him in the water sometimes - lots of times he gets him.

There is my dad's big splash. I know you can see Ginger in the picture, but that is OK because she is cute.

My dad took this picture and you can even see the ducks and the goose. Me, Ginger and Sterling were in the picture. As you can see, the ducks and the goose are in the seaweed. Behind the goose there is a big tree .

There is me and Sterling in the water. My dad took this picture and it looks pretty good.

There's Ginger. As you can see, I am about to dive off the boat cuz that is my favorite thing to do. I love to swim in the lake. i think Ginger does too.

There is me in the boat and Sterling is in the water.

I like this boat alot. It is so much fun.

Swimming of the day

Today we went swimming we got wet and we all had a lot of fun. we all played ball together it was

as fun time for all of us. me, sterling, and ginger walked around the hot tub and in to the pool.


it was the best time ever

My Brother

Sterling loves to be pirates. sterling loves to wear his hook and eye patch he is the best brother.

he is cool and great


some times we play in the pool with sterling. sterling is awesome

Pet Shops

I took this picture of my pet shops today, with my new camera. The pet shops have their own home, and my favorite one is the wiener dog. The lizard is pretty fun too. One of the monkeys always falls down if you try make it sit. They are the only pet shops I have. They're really fun to play with too, because their house has a lot of fun stuff on it, like a skateboard. Sometimes I play games with my pet shops. And they're really good at playing, and they're lot of fun.

Our Farm

Hi my name is Winter and I live on a big farm and we have lots of animals. There are goats, 5 cows, chickens, ducks, and goose. My mom has a garden. In her garden she has squash and tomatoes, zucchini, and peppers.
My dad works hard every day. Sterling and Ginger like to play with each other too. My mom is nice to each and every one of us. She is the best kind of mom anyone can ever have. She helps us sometimes, when we need help with our chores. Dad rides on the 4-wheeler with us, up to the goats and the cows, and we feed the pig and Justin. I think they're very happy after they eat.Justin's the best dog.

Sometimes I read books, and sometimes I go swimming, because they're both my favorite thing to do. My favorite thing about swimming is that we have lots of diving sticks, and I can always dive in the pool to get them. I'm glad that Ginger knows how to swim now.

Sometimes we even get to help dad work, which makes me happy. I like to jump on the trampoline, and go on the swing set. Most of the time we do chores. I like the chores, because I get to pick them. What I don't like about my chores, is sometimes I have to clean the toilet. And the funnest chore to do, is to make my bed, and clean my room. My mom is the best.
