First I wanted to say sorry because I haven't written anything since August. My dad needs to use the laptop for class. Anyways, On Wednesday, I had to make a volcano and bring it to school. My dad bought black cherry soda, (which your supposed to use coke.) Then he glued it to a big piece of wood. After, we put foam around it piece after piece. after it dried, we spray painted it a brownish, red color. When I was at school, I left from my orchestra class early to put some black spots on it and went to lunch. ( I play the violin.) Then went to lunch with my parents. When I got back, I ended up exploding mine first. (Even though I didn't even know where I was supposed to set it down.) So my mom didn't get out of her class to see it in time. Then my dad opened the lid and dropped in mentos and tried to screw the lid shut. But he didn't do it in time! So some of the soda sprayed at him so he hurried out of the way. The soda went pretty high. It was such a fun day! (thanks for helping dad.)

My Birthday & Party






Last week on Wednesday, It was my Birthday! I had a great time. On my real Birthday, I went to Pizza Factory with the Holmes side. We ate Cake there.
On the Saturday after, I had a birthday party after. Once again, We went to Pizza Factory, and then we went to the canyon park. There, the ice-cream truck came. We all got some-thing. I got some good gifts. ( Thanks guys!) We all had a great time. I want to thank my mom for letting me have a party!

Alyssa's 5th Birthday
First of all, I'm sorry I haven't been writing posts in a while. I haven't really had time. We just got done celebrating my little sisters birthday. She turned 5. For her birthday she had 9 of her friends come to McDonald's. She was happy with what she got. The kind of cake she got was a Minnie Mouse cake. There was a Minnie Mouse locket on the cake you could open it up and there would be some lip gloss and a mirror.
She had fun...... For a little bit, I've been helping my mom with her new classroom. She's teaching 3rd grade. It's fun. I can't believe that school's already starting! And it's going to be my birthday two weeks from tomorrow!

50th & more!
My grandparents had a WONDERFUL 50th anniversary. I had a great time to. I slept over at my grandma's house for 2 night's. I had ALOT fun with my cousin's. My uncle Matt and my Aunt Jen's family came over for it. I was SO sad when they left. I wished It would of never ended. It's pretty cool because it's there golden wedding. ( if someone didn't know.) On your 25th anniversary, it's the silver wedding. For there anniversary, I gave my grandparent's 6 chocolate Carmel pretzels and a boukay of flowers. The reason why the title of this blog post is 50th & more is because this Friday, is My brother Spencer's birthday! One thing that's so weird is he's going to be 12! Yes, 12. He's way exited because he's going to be in young men. He got to celebrate his family party with all of our family. On his real birthday, he gets to chose 2 people to go somewhere. He chose to go bowling. He's letting me go to! So, Happy birthday Spence!

Craving's......
I LOVE the word candy. When it's the end of the school year, I'm just in my classroom sitting at my desk. The only thing I do is stare at the clock. You have to wait until 12:30 to eat lunch. I'd have to say, I bet all of you have a craving. Mine is Dark chocolate.
Not a lot of people like dark. So I'm glad I'm one of them. I came home one day and I looked in the cobered above the oven. That's where I keep my dark chocolate that I bought with my own money. It was eaten until it had 2 pieces left. I got mad. I looked at my mom. She told me my dad did it. Uh, huh. I said.... Before I stop writing, I would like to congratulate my aunt Jen on her new baby Trenton. Bye!

School's out for summer!!! (well, almost.)

I'm so surprised of how the school year has gone by so fast! It's kind-of hard to believe! For all the kids, that is one of the best things that could happen. Spencer and me made a promise that on the last day of school, we will come home and go straight to our Guitar Hero and play the song, "School's out!" On our name tags at school, we found out that on laminated things, you can erase permanent marker of with an eraser. So, we got to put with colored markers, the count down of the days of school. There are 6 days of school left! (not counting the weekends.) On Thursday and Friday I have to do a recital. Finally, the day after school gets out, At least for a week, I get to stay at my grandma and grandpa's house. I'm pretty excited!
