Neighborhood Party

Three nights ago we invited everyone in our neighborhood to a party on our front lawn. Dad got six different twelve packs of beer and brought out four different kinds of wine for the occasion. Mom made a lot of snacks (including pigs in a blanket). She thought that about ten people would come. Boy, she was wrong. The party was going to be just two hours but it lasted six, and about thirty people showed up. Around eleven we had to kick everybody out. Charlie (another boy in the neighborhood) stayed and we had a sleep over. When everyone was gone we ordered a large cheese pizza, two different types of buffalo wings, and a lava cake from Dominoes. Then we watched tv for an hour. I had a blast!!!

Today's Special



Kylie June 28









All Moved In

Now all of our things are moved in (except my bunk bed!!!). I hang out with my friend Cole almost every day. We like to go tubing, fishing and have Airsoft wars. When we go tubing we walk up the road to a park. Then we put our rafts in the water and float down the creek until we get to our backyard. I took Kylie with me and we both flipped over after some rapids. Cole's birthday is coming up and I am trying to find him a present.

Today my mom, dad and I went hiking up the mountain that's by our house. It was a very scenic hike and we got to overlook the town of Jackson. Tomorrow we are hosting a neighborhood party that is going to be in our front yard. Everyone in the neighborhood is invited! My grandma is going to come visit us about a month from now.

First Night In

   Yesterday we moved from our RV into the house. Dad moved the RV right in front of our house, so we could move stuff from it into the house. I found another boy (Cole) in the neighborhood. We both walked up the street until we got to an empty lot. Then we walked through the lot to the creek. Then we put our tubes in the water and tubed down the creek. When we got to our backyard we got out and went straight to our hot tub. The creek was FREEZING!!!
   After I had a quick dinner I went to the movies with Cole and his brother to see Monsters Inc 2. We had to wait in a long line and when we got to the ticket booth there were only twenty tickets left. We were really lucky. When the movie was over they dropped me off I went to bed. Around one in the morning I woke up because Noah was whining. Apparently my mom was awake too and she came down the stairs to see me. I went back to bed and my mom stayed downstairs and slept on the love sac to keep Noah company. Noah had surgery and now he is sick.
   Today I woke up and had to rescue a bird from our fire place. It had fallen down the smoke pipe and was still alive and not hurt. We caught it and let it go outside. My parents drove two hours away to the nearest Home Depot to get some stuff. I had to stay home and take care of Noah, but I also got to play Roblox.

Almost Settled In

Now our new house has a kitchen table, all of our beds, a washer and dryer, a coffee table, a couch, a microwave, and a huge TV. We have been moving in for the past week and while my parents are working Kylie and I get to go in our hot tub. The hot tub and refrigerator were included in the deal when we bought the house. Almost every day I hang out with the neighborhood boys. Tomorrow we are moving out of the RV and into the house. We have most of our basic stuff in the house and we ate dinner there last night. Mom made an extremely good pineapple-upside-down cake, and it was healthy. I will only do blogs every once in while now.

The New House

The past few days we have been moving our things into the new house. Yesterday it was dad's birthday. I got him a real meteorite and the family got him a prehistoric crab fossil. For dinner we all went to a Swiss restaurant. We had cheese fondue, racelette, and chocolate fondue. Then we all went out and got three hot chocolates and a giant cookie. I had so much fun!

Yesterday we started to move things into the new house. We moved a Love Sac (a giant bean bag), kitchen supplies, some furniture, and toys. Today I met the neighborhood kids (that were boys and my age) and we all had an Airsoft war. One of them is going to move in a week though. After a lot of Airsoft battles we went out to dinner with the family who used to own the house. We went to a steak house that used to be a taxidermist shop. It was very interesting, and the food was delicious.

Soccer

   Yesterday we did schoolwork and went to Calico's (the restaurant with a field that kids play on).  This morning I got to sleep in and mom made me eggs and bacon for the first time.  I loved it.  After breakfast I ordered a brand new sniper riffle Airsoft gun.  It has a scope and a dais.  When we finished the order I started on my Math test.  I finished around lunch time and I did more schoolwork until three thirty pm.  When I finished my schoolwork dad took me and Kylie to the movies.  We were supposed to see Epic, but dad found an adult soccer field and decided to check it out.  Apparently one of the teams goalies had cut his hand so they let my dad fill in for him.  After two hours we went back home.  Tomorrow we are going to see Epic.

Kylie Day 21









Jackson

   Yesterday we arrived at Jackson.  This morning we got up and did schoolwork.  I finished just before lunch.  For lunch mom made a bacon, mushroom, apple, cheese, egg soufflĂ©.  I approved.  After we finished we went to our new house.  The other family was still moving out so we got to play with them. The boy my age played with me and showed me around the neighborhood.  I meet three other boys that are my age and they all loved Airsoft just like me.  We played several rounds until we had to go home.  I had LOTS of fun
