Summer's almost over!

I can't believe summer is almost over . It feels like it just started.I am excited about how we will be able to do more trips since Evan is older and has his shots. We have already been planing about school activities and Wes and I will probably do the local swim team it is not very competitive but you learn different strokes and dives.Also instead of doing soccer in the fall and spring we were looking for a place were Vivian and I can learn to ride horses.I will be in 6th grade this fall and Wes will be in 3rd grade and the twins will be in kindergarten. We are all excited about this upcoming school year.

Summer time!

Here is one of Evan's first smiles while we were doing the laundry!

I have had a very good summer so far.The only thing I have had to do for school is math. I had to restart my math at the end of April. I have almost completed the whole hundred and twenty lessons. I had to do three lessons a day before my mom had the baby then I did two a day when mom had the baby and for the last few weeks I have been doing four a day. Now I appreciate only having to do one lesson a day! I have been doing one test, four lessons, 10 review problems and four sets of lesson problems per day. It has been so hard doing math and helping mom with the baby and we haven't been out of the house much because the baby hasn't had his shots yet but he will get them soon. After Evan gets his shots we are gladly going to go to Birmingham Alabama and to the zoo.

Here is a picture of Evan from a few days ago.

Stop Motion Camp!

A recent picture of Evan sleeping !

Lately, my family has been very busy between my dad getting ready for his next trip and my mom taking care of our new baby brother, Evan.  Luckily, I still have enough time to do an online camp called diy it is a bunch of camps on one online website. I am doing Stop Motion camp. In Stop Motion camp you are given a daily challenge and different stop motion videos and you show and compare them on their website.I have already done three different videos.My brother Wes is doing a Lego inventors camp and he is going to have a new Lego challenge everyday. There is also a mine craft,film,and comic book camp and many more camps.  

Evan the baby!

Evan!

My Mom just had Evan her fifth child on Thursday night, he was seven pounds eleven ounces. Mom did not want to have a c-section but the day before Mom had the baby we had to go to the ER because Mom wasn't feeling him move. Even though he was fine Mom thought that she should go ahead and just have a c section. So it has been very crazy for a few days.
Evan is usually sleeping but when he is awake he keeps his eyes open and is looking at everything. 

We are all very excited about our new baby brother and he will be very fun to play with when he is older. For now I will help my mom take care of the baby.

My Visit to Houston,TX !

This is my brother and I in Menchies.

We just came back from Houston last night. We were very excited about it because we like to do so many things there. We went to this place called Torchys tacos it is a very good Texas chain and we eat there when we are visiting. We also went to this frozen yogurt shop called Menchies.

On the last day we went to St. Arnold's Brewery were my dad sold his stuff all day.  

This time since my Mom is about to have a baby she didn't want to come so Wes, my Dad, and I are the only ones that went.  It was very different because usually we drop my Dad off then we start going to thrift stores, the zoo, or a park but this time we stayed with my Dad the whole day.
 

Torchys is so good here is a picture of one of their many good tacos!

Knoxville, TN

We just came back from Knoxville,Tennessee. One of the places we went to was this place called  Mckay Books  it was this giant warehouse full of books it was like a thrift store but it was books, DVDs, and records. I got a Far Side comic book I try to find them when we go to thrift stores. 
Another place we went to was VG's bakery we go there for baked goods. We found this bakery while at Pioneer House. We would go to the farmers market behind Pioneer House and ever since when we go to Knoxville we always try to go there and get some thing because there is not a good bakery like that around where we live. We were so tired in Knoxville because we had only been in our house four days before we were on another trip but we shouldn't have any more trips for awhile because mom is having the baby in May!

This is a picture of Mckay Books.

This is what my little brother and sister Ian and Vivian ate.                         

Bay Beach Animal Rescue!

This is the Alpha of the five wolves and it was fed first!

        In Green Bay Wisconsin we had to find things to do. One of the things we did was go to this wildlife sanctuary that had rescued birds and animals from Wisconsin. A few of the animals they had were bald and golden eagles, many different owls, grey wolves, a mountain lion, red foxes, otters, and two bobcats. Bay Beach wildlife sanctuary was very interesting and there were lots of trails to go on.  We saw a family of bald eagles that were free and living on the trail. If we ever go back to Green Bay Wisconsin I would go back there. 
        At the animal refuge there was a frozen lagoon and the Canadian geese would go on the ice with the ducks it was very neat but we didn't have to cross the lagoon to see the animals because there was a bridge we asked someone if they thought it would be safe to cross the lagoon and she said it would not be because it had been warmer recently and we asked her if the bay was still frozen enough to walk on because earlier we had seen people walking on the bay with their dogs and she said she lived on the bay and they must be crazy because there could be cracks that were not visible.

These are the red foxes that my sister liked and they were so small compared to the big grey wolves.

This is the frozen lagoon that you could almost walk on if it was just a little colder !
