John Schmidt's Music

John Schmidt is my favorite celebrate. He is the best at the piano and I love his music. He came to Las Vegas, Nevada on April 16, the day after my birthday. I forgot to come and I was very disappointed when I realized it. I wish I could another opportunity like that.

I also wish that I could play one of his music pieces. I hope I will be a great piano player like him. My two favorite piano pieces is Waterfall and Love Story Meets Viva la Vida. I wish I could listen to those songs every day and I won't get tired of it.

One day, I will learn how to play Waterfall and I will play it every day on the piano.

My Birthday!

On Thursday, it was my birthday! I turned eleven years old. Happy Birthday, to ME! I had a birthday party on the Saturday before my birthday. The theme was, "I Scream for Ice Cream!" We played a number of games and had ice cream sundaes. I got some candy, a skittle bag, six webkinzs, two gift cards ($35) for Wal Mart, one gift card for Target ($15), a lot of art things, and a lot of supplies to make different things.

On Thursday, I got some clothes for Justice, Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Last Olympian (the fifth book of the series), and the first book of Fablehaven. I also had a field trip to a track meet. I got in third place three times and sixth place one time. We were outside for six hours (all of the school time). It was the best day ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Percy Jackson & the Olympians Series

Have you ever heard of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series? They are so awesome! I love them! I am on the fourth book. They're five books total. They are so exciting.

It is about a boy named Percy Jackson. He is the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea, in Greek Mythology. Zeus, the god of the sky, had his lightning bolt get stolen. He blames it on Percy. He said if he doesn't get it back by the summer solstice, there will be war between the sky and the sea. Percy now has to find and bring the master bolt to Mount Olympus where all the gods are.

Want to know more? You have to read to first book to find out how it ends. Percy goes on more adventures, meets new people, faces more monsters, creates more enemies, and learns a whole lot more skills to make him survive. I personally cannot wait 'till I get to read the fifth book and I do not want it to end!

THANK YOU MOM AND DAD!

After we opened our presents, grandparents came over to have breakfast. We ate pancakes, cinnamon rolls, bacon, and sausage.

In the middle of the day, we went to the movie theaters. We saw Princess and the Frog. My favorite part is when the frogs escape the frog hunters. It is a funny movie.

After watching the movie, we drove over to Grandma Kathleen and Grandpa Wendel's house. We had dinner there. After dinner, we preformed the nativity. Then, we went caroling!

WHAT A FUN CHRISTMAS!

Moving

We moved to a new house at the beggining of November. I am so sad to leave all my friends behind and my favorite P.E. teacher. My new school is named Kitty Ward. I made a lot of new friends in one week. I miss my other house. I hope I like it here.

Chirstmas

I cannot wait 'till Christmas! It will be so much fun! It will be our first Christmas at our new house! I wonder what I'm going to get in my stocking. I'll try to have time to buy my family indivisiual presents. I just cannot wait!

Shopping

We went to Justice on Friday! I needed jeans. After school, we thought it would be a good time to go shop at Justice. Most of the things we bought there were my Christmas presents. I got boots, cute shirts, two pairs of jeans, and my mom bought me a necklace! I always go to Justice when I what to buy some clothes!
