A Forest Fire, and other updates...

Hello everyone!  It's been a long while since I last posted but anyway I'll start off with what has been going on.  On thursday while we were burning brush outside, I was carrying a shovel full of flaming coals to help start one of the piles on fire, while I was walking down a hill, a couple of the coals fell off of the shovel and into some leaves near the forest.  A while later we noticed it and that a fire had been started by the coals, my dad said for us to quickly put it out, and while we were trying to stop the fire from spreading, a huge gust of wind picked up some of the flames and carried them deeper into the woods!  We quickly tried to gather some tools and stuff to help put out the fire, also my mom ran inside to look for the fire extinguisher, but she couldn't find it anywhere!  By then the fire had gotten really deep and was getting out of hand.  My dad quickly called the Fire Department while we still tried to do all we could to put the fire out. Finally, we all started gathering bucket fulls of water, and thank the Lord for those and all of us working together, because we were able to hold the fire off long enough in time for the Fire Department to come and help.  The fire continued to get deeper into the forest, but just before it crossed a path into another part of the forest that was packed full of deadwood, we were able to put the fire out.  Praise the Lord!!!  It was a close call, but nobody got hurt, thank the Lord.  Anyway, today on the seventh of March we succesfully burned another pile of brush and now I'm pretty tired, and if you asked me how I feel right now, I'd have to say I'm firelogged.  Well, until next time, God Bless!

My Birthday.

Well, on November 2nd it was my Birthday!  My Grandparents, and Aunt, Uncle and Cousins came over to celebrate it.  I had a great time!  My Grandmother's Birthday is a day before mine, so my Mom made two chocolate cakes.  Now on to the presents, First, I got a tobaggon that my sister made for me, I got a how Paul "Bear" Bryant turned the Tide picture, and then my Mom got me a real Lord Of The Rings Sting Sword replica!  All of my presents are awesome, I had a really good time, and that is pretty much all for now.  Okay then, pictures of my presents are coming soon, and some will have special effects, like the Sting Sword glowing blue, (Indicating that Orcs are near.)                                                   

 

GOD BLESS!!!

And until next time...

The Big Update.

A whole lot has happened since I last posted, sorry for not posting in a while.  Anyway, two months ago in April, (April 12th to be exact)  My Dad, Sister Amanda, and some of our friends the Williams went to a Brad Scott lecture about how God designed DNA and the Hebrew language, it was very interesting.  Then on the 21st of April we went to a Passover at the William's house.  We also did an Exodus play there!

After all that Boppa came over for some of the day. He brought barbecue and some other things like venison.  Then at the end of April, my  friend Andrew came over.  He stayed the night, and we made a movie, it was a lot of fun!  Now in May on the 29th we celebrated Mary and Rachel's birthday!  Grandmother and Granddaddy came over and we had a cook out. 

Well, thats pretty much all thats happened in a while, we have been very, very busy lately, but God has blessed us very much.  And we thank Him and his Son Jesus Christ.  Alright then, until next time!

The Raquetball Tournament...

Last Saturday on the Ninth my Dad, brother David and I went to our Dad's Raquetball tournament in Tuscaloosa, we had a great time!.  When we arrived there we ate inside the tournament building and then David and I watched our Dad play.  He won his first game, and lost his second  We still had a fun time.  After the game we drove around and walked around the Bryant-Denny Stadium.  The Stadium was locked up and David had hoped it was open because he had brought his football helmet and ball.  We went back to the Raquetball building and ate some more there, then we headed on back home.  Well, we had a really good time there and after all that, on the 13th our friend John Y came over.  He stayed for lunch and some tea.  And then my Mom, Dad and John Y went to a restaurant and we had chicken nuggets and then he left.  Well, it's all been nice here and God has helped us through it all!  So, Until next time!

Mary's Birthday.

Today was my sister Mary's birthday!  First, we all ate Hotdogs, Beans, and Coleslaw.  Then our grandparents came over and we watched "Night at The Museum" it was hilarious! 

Well the day before the 28th, we all went to our great grandparent's house.  We had McDonalds there and we went out to pet the horses which lived on their property.  All in all it's been good, although we did get a little under the weather, God has blessed richly, and though were going through a very dry and hot drout we still praise the Lord.  Well Rachel's birthday is coming up as well, and our grandparents are heading out to here again. 

Well, thats all for now, and until next time...

 

God Bless!

I had a bad day

Today, I had a really bad day.

Well how it all started was when my Dad and I started riding our bikes through the woods.  Then after we rode through just about all of it, we started riding through the newly paved rode behind our property.  Afterwards, we rode up all the way to a dead end (which you had to go up a very steep rode)  My Dad went on down it and then I got ready too.  I rode down the hill on my bike nearly at full speed.  Suddenly through all of that the front wheel of my bike jammed and the chain of it slipped off the wheel, and the wheel stopped moving.  The bike started skidding across the rode until it hit a ditch, which sent me tumbling threw the air and right on top of a barbed wired fence.  After that I was really, really hurting, so I ripped myself apart from the barbed wired fence, and boy let me tell you it hurt like crazy!  Not only that but I just suddenly went into shock and so part of the point of the barbed tip severed through my shirt and into part of my hip and my chest.  Then after my wheel was jammed I picked the bike up and walked half way until I finally fixed it out and was able to push it all the way back to our office (On the way though some people moved into a house, and the Dad of the house was mowing the lawn, when I came across him I waved and smiled like nothing had happened.)  Anyway, after I got to the office I put my bike up, and went inside to my sister Amanda (because my Mom and the rest of the family were shopping) Amanda put some medicine on it, and when they got home I told them what happened and we had some Popeye's Chicken.  Now I'm feeling better but I'm still sore.  Although the wire was not rusted and I had my tetanus shot I still thank God that it wasn't rusted or anything worse.  And man I'm glad I feel better and it's all over (or most of it.)  PHEW!!!!

Hello all!

Hello everyone! 

 

Today,  I woke up LOL!  And had eggs and grits for breakfast,  and then some leftover tacos for lunch,  and then I went outside and it was hot today.  Well then my mom read about the rise of islam, and there was a tornado watch.  It might still come through our  way,  but it was really, really windy and on the clouds one side was light with blue sky and everything while the other side was dark!  It was creepy.   Also my dad went to a meeting,  and then we looked at the weather channel to see where the tornado was heading,  and also I had a little ice cream.   The power still might go out so we were just getting ready, and there was now a tornado warning and it said to take cover now,  so we were keeping watch just in case.  But the weather feels nice and cool everytime the wind blows and stuff.  So then one thing I can't wait for is my birthday is on November 2nd.   So I am exited about that,  and also my grandmother's birthday is the day before that!   I can't wait.  Anyway I also played with my baby brother Benjamin.  He is super cute,  and he smiles everytime someone goes in the room!  Well after that I am down here writing on my blog LOL!  Well now if you haven't noticed I have a new pet I named shadow on my blog!  Well,  I guess I have to depart now but I promise I will write again!  Mark my words!!!  LOL!

 

Well Bye!
