Baskketball Update

Earlier in the year I posted about my Upward Basketball tryouts. Well, today I found out what team I'm on. I play for the 45B Bruins. I'm in the 4th-5th Boys division. My brother plays for the 1B Penguins. He is in the 1st Boys division. Basketball season starts sometime in January. I can't wait!

Merry Christmas (again)

I know I should have posted this six days ago, but I haven't had the time. On Christmas Eve, (which is my least favorite day of the year) I was so anxious I couldn't sleep. It happens every year so I'm not that surprised. But if it happens next year I'm going to have to do something about it. Anyways, I loved all of my presents, but I especially liked three: My Lego Republic Cruiser, my new camera, and a book my mom and dad made. the book is full of pictures of my Nana, who passed away in April.

Belt Ceremony Update

Yesterday I had my Tae Kwon Do Belt Ceremony. I couldn't post about it yesterday because
I was too exited! I received my red belt because I tested. All you have to do to pass testing is break your broad, and you have to test. That's it!

Tae Kwon Do Testing Update

On Saturday, I had my Tae Kwon Do testing. I was testing for my red belt. I broke one broad, but in the future, I may have to break more than one broad. I think that when I test for my black belt, I will have to break at least four broads. I can't wait!

Christmas Store Update

My school has an event called the Christmas Store. The Christmas Store is an event in which you can buy presents for up to six people except for yourself. I bought for six people. One thing I thought was funny was that some of my friends bought gifts that would have cost sixty dollars in a store only cost one dollar at the Christmas Store!

UFO Sighting Update

On Sunday I was coming home from an activity I was doing when I saw what I think is a UFO. I think it was a UFO because it was rectangle-shaped, it had 3 big lights in the front, and because my parents have no idea what it was. It would be very interesting to see it again.

Tryouts Update

On Saturday I had Basketball tryouts. I play for an organization called Upward. This is my second year playing and my brother's first year. I am really exited to play this year. The Basketball season starts in January. I can't wait to play!

Busy Day Update

Today I was very busy. I left my house at 9:30 and got back at 5:00. In that time I went to two birthday parties, a store, and the library for 2 hours. The parties were for two of my friends. At the library, I made four new friends! Today was fun!

Family Fun Night Update

Erlier today my school hosted an event called Family Fun Night or FFN. There are all diffrent kinds of games to play. There is a Shell Game. The idea of the game is to find the coconut with the object under it. My favorite game was the Basket Game. There is a backborad,which you have to hit with a ball to get it in the basket. It's not as easy as it sounds. I had a lot of fun!

My Musical Update

On December 7, 2009, the 4th and 3rd grades of my school are doing the play Melton the Warm Hearted Snowman. I am the main chartacter, Melton! However, I have a lot of lines to memorize. I think the play will be fun!

After the Black Belt Ceremony

Earlier today I posted a post about a black belt ceremony, this is what happend afterwards. Someone gave her a present that was the exact same thing that I have! It was a Build-A-Bear stuffed animal made to look like a Tae Kwon Do or Karate student. Hers, as you could probably figure out, was wearing a black belt. Mine came with a yellow belt, a bule belt, a green belt, an orange belt, a brown belt, a red belt, and a black belt. That's a lot of belts! It was very fun!

Black Belt Ceremony

Today one of the people I train with in Tae Kwon Do is getting her black belt. I think she deserves it . Her son is already a black belt. It is at 6:30 pm. At the ceremony, you can eat food, but you have to take your belt off if you are in Tae Kwon Do. I will have a great time!

What I am Doing Today

Today I am going to help rake leaves in the backyard of someone's house in my neighborhood. I did it last year, and it was fun! My friends are also coming to help. I think it will be fun!

Imagination Station Update

Last year I helped pass out fliers to help pass Issue 37: Keep COSI open. The issue passed, but they had to change the name. They changed it from COSI to Imagination Station. It has already opened, but I have not been to it yet. However, before COSI closed last year, I had a great time going there, so I think I will have an even funner time now!

Halloween Wedding in Canada

Last month I went to a Halloween wedding in Ontario, Canada. It was very cool! They played all diffrent music. First, they played Star Wars music, then they played Harry Potter music, after that they played Indina Jones music! The bride and groom were named Bryon and Aura Lea. I had a great time!

H1N1 Outbreak Update

There was an H1N1 outbreak at my school last week. My parents took my brother Alex and I out of school for safety reasons. However, the outbreak has ended and I went back to school for two days! I was only in school for two days because we didn't go to school on Monday and there are parent-teacher confrences on Thursday and Friday. Today is Thursday, so I have a long weekend!
