Droid Gun Ship

The Droid Gun Ship has two droids; one is in the cockpit and one is in a gunner. It has blue missiles that you can push and they shoot out. It's wings are half a circle. There are five deadly guns. It can carry two packages in the bottom of it (but you can't see them in the picture.)

It took me two days to build.

General Grevious' Star Fighter

General Grievous' Star Fighter has two hidden missiles. You can not see them in the picture. He has a tail gunner in the back. There are two wing guns and four on the bottom. You can't see them very good either. The gunner can detach and General Grievous can fight on his own. There are two big thrusters on the sides of the wings. They make him go fast.

It took me two days to build it.

Assault Tank in Battle

The assault tank has two laser cannons on the side and one laser blaster in the middle. The fortress has two guns on the side and one blaster on the top. I love Legos.

What I Learned This Year...

Cricket's description of what she learned this year:

"This year I learned how to play volleyball, change a baby's diaper, say "Yes, Mom," learn cursive, bake, do change, typing, Prince Caspian, to be a peacemaker, sacrifice, braids, use paragraphs, Star Wars, make a tree fort, long division, make coffee, Fort Knox, baseball and art.

Next is what I want to learn: astronomy, sign language, computers, chocolate, coconut."

Yes, by God's grace, she did learn some academic things during our busy year with the new baby. And, it warms my heart to hear that she has learned some important lifelong lessons about serving others and being kind to her siblings through peacemaking. To God be the Glory...

Thankful Mom

TIMBER-LEE

I just came back from Camp Timber-lee. I left on Sunday and came back on Saturday. My counselor's name was Brittany. I lived in Oak Ridge 2B. For one week I lived with 5 other girls.
I already knew 1 of the girls. Her name is Mariah. I kind-of knew an another girl and her name was Emma. The other 3 I had never seen before. Their names were Emily, Mary and Kathryn (but everyone calls her Kate.) But over the week we all became best friends.

My favorite things were swimming, jumping off the blob, going to the art and leather shop, acorns (acorns is like an arcade without electronic games), rock climbing, climbing the 63 steps to our village (not kidding) and horseback-riding. I rode 2 different horses. Their names were Sam and Shicain.

The food was excellent. The last day we got ice cream at breakfast.

I CAN NOT wait to go back next year.

Life is good with Grandmas

We went to my Dad's mom's house. We call her Grammy. Who's the we? Bunny, Sharky, Coco and me. We go every year while mom stays home and dad goes turkey hunting. We got to see all the cousins in Minnesota. My oldest cousin, Hannah, had a baby a couple weeks ago. We watched the baby get baptized. The pastor poured water in the special bowl. My cousin Jack and I got splashed with the water. We call my Grandpa, Poppop. He rents a movie every time we visit him and he gets us doughnuts. We will see him in 6 weeks at Heartwood.

We also had my Mom's mom and dad visit us a couple weeks ago. We had fun with them. We made cookies and did puzzles. We played lots of games. My favorite game that we played was Probe. Probe is a game where you make a word and put it upside down on your game piece. People have to guess your word letter by letter.
