Pixi's third birthday!

   Last friday my baby sister Pixi turned three, and we celebrated! For breakfast we had eggs. After that daddy came home and we had a lunch of quina salad then we went to the zoo, Pixi loved all of the animals. We saw poler bear, bobcats, lizards, snakes, alligators, leopards, foxes, an owl, cool stick bugs, leaf bugs, giant spiders, glowing scorpions, roaches, and lots of other insects and animals. After the zoo we were all hungry so we went to Loving Hut for dinner. Next we went to Josef Beth and looked around for presents for Pixi mommy and daddy got her some stuff but iI could not find anything within my price range. Next we went to Whole Foods and I got Pixi a bag of cookies. When we got home mommy made a DEEELICIOUS strawberry cake. We wrapped our presents then sang "Happy-birthday." Finally she opened her presents mommy and daddy got her, first she opened the play dough kit that hat little rollers and stuff like that in it, next she opened a dinosaur train coloring book, then she opened a little book called the "Red ripe strawberry and the the big hungry bear" and a little wind up mouse, finally she opened the presents that I got her witch were the cookies and a little book I made her called "Happy Birthday Baby!" then we had cake, but Pixi was more interested in her presents than cake. When we had brushed our teeth and gotten our PJ's on daddy read the Birthday Bird to Pixi and we went to bed:)

Hiking

 Hiking is a lot of fun. We usually go hiking on weekends then go out and do something fun for dinner. I am going to write about our most recent hike:

    First we woke up, and had a delicious breakfast of french toast. After that we went on with our day,  cleaned up, and did other stuff. Then we started the hike! I packed a bagel, my phone, and a backpack. Then we went to a park, and explored all over ( I got some beautiful pictures) We stayed for a couple hours then went and had dinner with my cousins and my aunt, while my mom and dad got dressed up for a date with their friends. While they were gone we watched part of a movie and made valentine cards. At about 9.30 we went home and watched a movie while the parents talked downstairs. Then at midnight, finally got to bed.
Hiking is a lot of fun especially when you do fun things afterwards.

Snow!

The other day it was snowing all morning, so after school, we got all bundled up and went outside. It was really snowy almost 7 inches of snow! We started to build snowmen. First we all built one big snowman, and named him George. We were going to build another snowman together, but even bigger. We accidentally made our balls too big and had to make 4 snowmen. My mom couldn't even pick the GIANT balls up! My snowman was about 4 inches smaller the me, Caid's snowman was smaller than mine and had a giant nose, Gray's snowman had a whole bunch of sticks in it's head and a pine cone nose and he put a piece of grass on it for his mouth, my mom made Pixi's snowman we all put our hats on our snowmen. The entire time I was hot! probably from rolling 3 giant snowballs. After we built the snowmen we tried to sled down our hill on a cookie sheet but it didn't work, so the we tried sledding down on the top of our grill! but of course that did not work. At that point it started to snow again and Gray and Pixi were crying because they were too cold so mommy took them in and Caid and I played outside a little bit longer. We rolled down the hill the we had a snowball fight until Caid got too cold and went in. I stayed outside longer though, because I wasn't cold yet and it was so pretty outside, I shoveled the sidewalk and then I went inside too. I can't wait for next years snow!

Our NJ surfing plan

On the night before we left NJ we were all sad about leaving the next day, so I, my brothers, and Doodah, wrote up a plan on what we were going to do one day when we came out in the summer. I forget what started the conversation, but anyway this is the plan:

1. Wake up, have a good breakfast of french toast.
 
2.Go to the surf shop and get clothes: surfing shorts, rash guards, and new flip flops.

3. Go surfing, and have Mack's Pizza for lunch.

4. Go to the fish store and pick up King crab, scallops, pineapple, coconut juice, tiny umbrellas, rum (for the adults) and clams.

5. Go home and get lima beans, and tomatoas from the garden.

6. Talk real nice to Suber so she will cook for us.

7. After dinner put lights up and a tent, jars for catching fireflies, chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers.

8. Get wood for the campfire, decorations, and coffee for daddy and Doodah.

9. Sleep out in the tent, and wake up the next day:)
