William's Wonders

One day I was talking to my mom about a friend a friend I had in preschool named Emma.  Emma was also talking to her mom about me.  THEN, my mom and Emma’s mom found each other on Facebook.  She invited me to her birthday party the next week!  We hadn’t seen each other since preschool which was 5 years ago.  She was still really nice and all her friends were polite to me too, especially all the guys.  Her birthday party was far away though, so we had to drive about  30 miles to Monument to go to Pinz bowling?   Her party was a blast so it was definitely worth going!

One morning I woke up and I found a giant nerf gun in the middle of our living room that said “From Derek, To William”  I was surprised because they had got home from a homecoming party and I wasn’t sure how he had gotten it until Heather explained that he had won it and had no use for it.  Then I went to my friend Emma’s birthday party (a whole other story) and when I got back my dad had broke into the nerf gun and lost all the bullets!!!

Me and my family went skiing and we decided to do the ski jumps.  Courtney caught some good air like usual, Ashley not so much, Heather wasn’t in the mood to do the jumps and I jumped higher than Courtney and Ashley combined and then… I kinda landed flat on my face!  I’m pretty sure my dad took pictures but not sure if he got my wipeout.

I got to walk on the lake again, this time with my sisters.

We had a reading challenge at school and we got tickets for every hour that we read.  I got 83 tickets in one week!

In March 12,2011 I had a pine wood derby race. My car was a golf ball! I got first  place for Webelos and fourth for over all! I lost third by 0.03.  It was a lot of fun though.

For Valentine’s Day (February 14, 2011) me and my friend Kolton worked together on a Valentine’s project.  We decided to do mines because Colorado has lots of mines and we were doing a Colorado theme.  We did a gold mine and a coal mine.  Then, my dad set up some HO trains to go through the mine boxes.  We got a certificate at school for Creativity and Partnership, and of course since it was Valentine’s day it was pink.

One day (January 23, 2011) there was the funniest mouse chase ever.  Me and the two cats were chasing a mouse all around the house, even under the stove.  It was funny!  I laid out a few pieces of old cheese to try to get the mouse over here.  Yah, it didn’t work.  I should have done peanut butter covered cheese (NASTY!).  Once we got it under the stove, I decided to make a mouse trap.  My dad wasn’t too happy about that since it was homemade with boxes and small cheese flakes as a lure.  Later, the cat came out with a not dead but burnt mouse… and then he ate it!  GROSS!  Not for a cat though, it’s just fried mouse.

I was on the slopes and Cortney fell………in very deep snow (HAHAHAHAHA:)). Poof I could only see one ski.:)

So do you know all those shows about your tongue sticking to a frozen bar?…Well I found that out with the zipper of my coat when I was skiing.:(
