My 2011 Report Card

Here’s a copy of my report card for my first grade year that ended in December.

My funnest thing all school year was playing golf and not having to do anything else all day.

With my Math I’m looking forward to it being even more challenging in the future as I get to start the Beta class.

Summertime at Christmas

Note from Dad- Abishai used a weather station that we bought him to record the weather for an entire week this Christmas. Beautiful weather this year! He had a great time with it. To monitor the weather forecasts he checked it in the newspaper, on the Wii Console with Mario Kart Wii Bundle - BlackWii weather report, and online. This project was not just for science class, but also satisfied part of the requirements for the Cub Scout belt loop for Weather.

My Thank You Letter to Jesus

Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for me and all the other people. I have learned a lot about you and God.

Thank you for my parents and grandparents, friends, little brothers, toys, house, food, drink and a tree for Jesus’ birthday. And most importantly for Jesus’ birth, without Him we would be nothing.

I’m Gonna Grow Up to Be a Superhero

I want to be Spider-man because you can stick to wall’s and you get to fight Doctor Octopus ,Venom, Sandman , and Green Goblin.

Benaiah wants to be a fire man because they can put out fires.

I want to be Superman too, because he has a secret identity.

I want be the Green Lantern because he can fly. He can also make a big fist to fight the black lantern, the yellow lantern, and the red lantern. The Green Lantern uniform is the coolest because I like the way they have their symbol.

Benaiah also wants to be the black Spider-man because he has a secret identity too.

I want to be Flash because he can run super duper fast.

The Halloween Night 2011

On Sunday we went trunk or treating at Parkway Community Baptist Church.

On Halloween we watched a special Shrek video. We had pizza for dinner before we left. We went trick or treating in Mallard Landing. I was Thor. Benaiah was Captain America. Mommy was Robin. Daddy was Batman. The baby was Superman. Mamaw came too! Papaw kept the baby and gave out candy at our house.

We saw cool costumes. We skipped a scary house. We saw a ninja, a ladybug, Iron Man, Spider-man, a scary guy with a staff, and a zombie. We had lots of fun and ate a lot of candy. We also gave out Jesus books to every house!

We gave Mamaw some candy, and we gave Papaw some candy too because we did not need it all.

Aquariums, Poop, and Atlanta

My whole family just got back from a long trip.

GREENVILLE SC

We got to see Granny & Papa, Logan, Wes, Bailey, Mimi, Mark, and Eli.

I played Monopoly and wrote things. I pooped really big and the baby did too! Granny made a white cake. We got wet in the rain.

ATLANTA

We went to World of Coke and the aquarium. We saw a whale shark, fish, a giant manta ray, a beluga whale, a tiger shark, lots of water, Life is Good stuff, a sea horse, and a sea turtle. I also went in a gift shop.

I bounced at the mall and ate at Taco Bell. At the hotel I swam in the pool. I slept in a pull out bed.

I made a new friend at a church we visited.

On the way home I got sick and threw up in the car.
