Christmas~Mostly

HI, 
Hopefully it will get easier and less confusing to get onto the blog.
Our Christmas play is in few days, 6 to be exact. I am getting hyper just thinking about that. I am John Francis Wade, I'm a boy.
Mama is coming in a week,next Friday(20), Uncle Thomas, Aunt Carolyn, and Baby Simon are coming the next day. We are excitedly waiting for them to come.
We have our Christmas tree (breakables up high:)) (like we used to do)  and lights up, I even have some on my bed!
There have been celebrations at the church (I don't know what they are for), there is one going on right now. I can hear the music right now. From all the way up here! 
Every other Friday youth group is today.
Mom is getting ready for half day of prayer.

Fun!!!

Hi,
I still haven't figured out how to get here and have to ask Mom for help.
During school I wrote a poem about a 90 year old man. Here it is:

                                  I'm a 90 year old man.
                                  I'm as educated as a pan.
                                  90 is an incredible year to live.
                                  I've got extra years to live.

                                 I fought in WWII.
                                 I've heard many cannons say boom.
                                 I  have 30 girls,
                                 All my girls had curls.


                                 Many people say I'm Si,
                                That just makes me want to cry.
                                I used to play the banjo.
                                They said I had a big ego.

   
                               My name is a mystery,
                                As mysterious as history.
                               I'm as blind as a bat,
                                Just like my 40 year old cat.

Si is a character off of Duck Dynasty, he is the guy that is always saying,"Hey," or "Jack." he always has some tea with him.
There is a large tree here that has a bit of a slant we like to run up it, run up really high. Fun!!!
Tomorrow is Prayer Meeting. It is where all of the OMS missionaries get together and have Bible time. The kids play nicely together.
Science is easy because I remember some of what we did last year. I am a month and a week ahead. We do science on the computer.
I am in 7th grade and I am dong 8th grade math and it has been easy so far. We have had 21 days of school and less than that of doing math and we have done 53 lessons. Maybe we will do 9th grade math, too. 8th and up does math on the computer.
I am enjoying school more this year.
That's all for now.

Goings on in Tennessee

Hi,
Sorry I haven't written... I don't know how to get here. I have to get Mom to help me.
We are in Tennessee with a grandma, uncle, aunt, and three cousins.
Kristina is cracking up about I don't know what. She's about to hit the wall. It is a funny stage of tiredness before she hits the wall to crabbiness.
While on the phone, one of the others asked Daddy,"How were the meetings"?
Brianna,"Boring"?
Dad, "That's why they call them "bored" meetings".
Yesterday we went to the lake. They were using floating pipes as a buoy and they didn't have any gaps. We walked on the pipe which was in a half circle. I could walk all the way with out falling in the water until you couldn't walk any more because of bushes. Because I hold out my arms for balance my arms were hurting by the time that we left.
We are leaving for Liki Tiki Village in Florida where we will be biking, swimming, miniature golfing, and going to Sea World.

Alanna is reading Kristina a book. 
It is pretty hard to type in the dark.
Alanna's favorite color is purple.
Kristina's favorite color is pink.
Jake's favorite color is green.
I like bright colors.
That's all for now.

 Hey everyone,
The pups are growing, they have to leave soon, we are keeping Ti Belle, the pup that looks like Bella. School is OK.
We are all okay.
 I have been reading the books that Jake checks out of the Library. Mostly Hardy Boys.
 We have been building an MK fort. Don't tell the Sam, Hannah, and Sarah Gross. We are letting them find it or we will make arrows for them to follow.
I wonder what will happen to Nathan when we go to retreat.
I think it is funny that we call it retreat, because it is like we are retreating from our duties.
I told that to mom and she laughed.
 I aced the spelling pretest, so I don't have to take the regular test instead I get to have free time. Yay!
 Ti Belle- the brown one that looks like Bella, Jamie- the only black is on her tail, Isabella- the one with a white hook on her neck, Barka-her name fits she barks the most she has a scrape on her back, and Bubba the identical one of Barka:
A girl or woman named Robyn took a few pictures of us and the puppies. They were the best we have ever had.

We've been busy and I've finally figured out how to study for the history and science tests.  

We have two days of"vacation"still have to do school work,but hey at least get to work at our own pace. Don't know how fast that will be with two little kids, or yahoos on our hands. 

I wonder if we can "camp-out" on our living room like we did for Christmas. :) 

Kristina is "starving".  Rolling my eyes. Dad says I am a champ at that. 

I'm going to get a new swimming suit that is green and blue and machine washable. So it says. It is a Speedo.  I like it. A bit boyish and girlish at the same time. That is what I am. 

Rats, Cats. We don't need the first one, but the second one we do. Rats seem so insistant that we need them.  Since someone stole Prince Shaun rats have been coming to our house. So if you are planning to stay at our house I hope you like rats. I wonder what they taste like. Eew! Bon Appetite! I'll pass!
