Three Wishes

"So...." the Gypsy asked, looking as evil as possible. I gulp. This is so hard, I think to myself. "Three wishes," she repeats. "A happening, a thing, and a place you want to go," she croaks. Her eyes stare maliciously into mine. She smiles a mean grin. "Choose carefully, darling. And remember, you may not wish for any more wishes or anything to do with money," she says.

"How does she get so much make-up on in the morning?" I wonder, completely ignoring every word she says, "Whoops! Three wishes. Right." I get distracted really easily. "Ummmm?" I think aloud, "I want it to snow ten feet per week in Alpine. Oh! And I want to have a baby sister. And make her really cute and nice." I think about my last wish. This is actually kind of fun. "I think I want to go to Iceland. That place is awesome." I smile, satisfied with myself.

"Why would you want any of those things?" she questions rudely with a face of confusion and disgust.

"Well," I ponder, "I want it to snow here because it is like a desert, probably because it is. But anyways, I adore snow. There is a ton more fun opportunities and things to do with snow than when it is hot. Secondly, it gets tiring having five older brothers. Mostly because you have to attend the sports or art shows or whatever in the world they like to do. Also I love babies and taking care of them. It's so precious seeing their quiet and peaceful expressions when they sleep.
"Lastly, I want to go to Iceland because of the beautiful animals, glaciers and geysers.
It is beautiful there because people are more careful about where they place their trash. They also leave the sensitive landscape alone. Also, the language is very pretty My favorite animal that lives there is the puffin. They are cute and feathery and they have a thick layer of feathers to keep them warm in the winter.
"Now do my wishes make sense to you?" I ask.

She nods and says, "Wait one week and then your wishes will come true."

Poems

Girl Scouts is fun. It is for everyone. (that is a girl) You earn badges and do activities, and the from sweets you get cavities.


Bruce is funny. With all his fluff he may look like a bunny. He does not like baths. All he is is a furry mass.


Brillow got big, because he is a pig. He likes craisins and cilantro, and likes to run when you let him go.

Penguins don't live by Santa. Nor do they live in Montana. They live in Antarctica and eat fish. In slushy snow their feet go squish.

Lions say roar. They can't open a door. They don't have aposible thumbs. The people who kill them i think are dumb.

Monkeys are cute. They are the opposite of mute. They live in trees and stole the guy on night of the mueseums keys.


I don't like bugs. They may hide under mugs. Some of them smell bad. They make me sad.

Birds are fun to watch. Some may have a splotch. They go tweet tweet. And seeds they eat.

Music notes, play on fancy boats that cross moats.

Goats eat oats on boats that cross moats and listen to notes with wool coats on.

Table, chair, clock. Click, rock, tock.

You can toucan do math.

Red is for sweet smelling rose with dew drops sliding down their leaves

Orange is for long armed orangutang swinging in a tree

Yellow is for juicy sweet and sour lemon sitting on a tree

Green is for lush lime- green grass growing naturally in a meadow

Blue is for light sky going forever and ever going on; endless

Purple is for juicy sweet plum

All the colors in the rainbow

Sly sneaky fox lay in a box waiting for food.

School work makes me beserk

Love. Love... Wait? how would i know what true love feels like? i'm only in elementary school

Bennett


Bennett is 20. He is REALLY tall. He is already 6 feet and 4 inches. He likes to play sports like volleyball, tennis, soccer, and basketball. His height ables him to develop lots of talents. He is a kind, loving person of whom many people like and respect. He loves to surf and camp at the beach with the family. He also is helpful everywhere and at anytime. That is why he has so many friends. (In the picture, he is the one in the yellow swim trunks)

Grant


Grant is 18. He is really funny. He wears really unusual clothes. Some of his favorites are his bright green pants, his puppy shorts, and pink collared shirt. Even the lady at picture day thinks so. She told my mom, "I look forward to coming picture day at the high school so I can see what funny outfit Grant is going to wear." I'm surprised that she even remembers him. All of his friends and family think of him as "the funny one." He likes to tease all of them too. In a good way though. :) He is really into tennis and is super good at it. Everyone loves Grant.

Evan


Evan is 15. He 3rd to yuongest and 4th to oldest. He is good at math and (as far as i know) enjoys school. He is a VERY serious sports player and is good at all of the ones he plays. He usually plays games like "tag" and "improves it" by making it tackle tag. He,my cousins and I like to make funny movies. He likes to weight-lift every evening which makes him big and scary. Over all, he is a happy and kind person.

Isaac


Isaac is my youngest brother. Even thogh he is my youngest, he is 13. Isaac is COMPLETLY obsessed with these two things. 1. the word "rancid" 2. platupses. Together it makes rancid platapuses. He doesn't care what ANYBODY thinks or says about him. He also loves to play games and has a strong imagination. He is nice to everybody and has lots of friends.

Terrific Tuesday



Today was awesome. My friend came over and we went ice-skating. I fell a few times but eventually got the hang of it. It was awesome. After that we got a bag of kettle corn and went home. When we got home, we sat in a circle and put our legs together and put B.P. in the middle. he kept on trying to hurtle our legs but after a while, he gave up. After about 10 minutes, their mom's friend came to pick them to go to their dad's B-day dinner. Happy birthday!



Yes!

Today got way awesomer! (is that a word?) First, my guinea pig went through the maze and then ran backwards once he saw us but eventually made it through. Then, i went to my friend's house. when igot back, my 30 mile-riding brothers were back as well as alive. After that, we watched a movie from India. ( which was O.K. if you ignored the sudden singing break-outs ) Then, before i got sent to bed, my mom said i could call another one of my friends to have her come over the next day. (it was only about 7-8 o'clock) I am excited for tomorrow. ( i think i spelt that wrong )

Marvalous Monday


(Garfield, notice how today is MARVALOUS!) For Christmas I got a baby Guinea Pig. It's name is B.P.. (Standing for Brillow Pad or Bad Perm. Wichever one rolls.) Anyways, we made a maze for it made out of cardboard boxes left over from Christmas. It is still in process so he hasn't tried it yet.


Alec and Grant are riding to the airport on their bikes today. The airport is 30-35 miles and takes about 3 hours to get there on a bike. Bye- bye

Hi! I wanted to start my own blog so here it goes. Today is Sunday. I woke up to the sounds of Bruce snoring. (Bruce is my small, do-nothing dog that snores and grunts. The only exciting thing about Bruce is when he is dreaming. He moves his leg like he is running and barks in his sleep.) At church we had a homecoming speech for a missionary that came back from Missouri. He had many inspirational ideas and stories, like tracting in the pouring rain (that's dedication!). In primary, Vallient 9, there are 7 boys and 2 girls. Usually, only 5 of these boys show up though. In class, they are usually huddled in the corner playing with their action figures. While they do that, Hannah and I are playing with the Article of Faith magnets on the board. At this time Sis. Pilley is trying to read the lesson, although getting nowhere. Poor her. The only things she does that semms to get people to listen are: 1. Hangman 2. Sharing 3. Treats. I think she has been counting down the days until the end of the year. The next teacher has no idea what she is in for.
