10-20-08 This weekend was great. But yesterday I tripped off my bike. My bike bumped on some rocks. Then there was rocks that made my bike trip. Simon came running over to me.

On Sunday it was a --

2-12-09 This weekend was horrible. When I play with my 2-block-away neighbor friends, I don't know why they always are bossing me. And why am I the only one that's thinks I am the worst at science? And why do I master only two subjects at school? And I always think I get no ranks on my report card. I know this is my worst day ever.

2-23-09 This weekend was awsome! I can't wait for Kris's party today. And Josh is so lucky. I wish I could go to Washington. Mabey I could go to Ten(nessee) on Summer break. But I just can not get my mind off Japan or France. In France, I would love to climb the Effle Tower. I never spoke Chiniese before. That will be my wish Then I can teach you guys. It would be a dream come true, I tell you! Or I could got to Africa. I would be able to reserch the animals. But it might be too dagoures!

Well, I hope Caleb's dad is safe right now. He showed me a badge he will show us when he gets back from Afganistan.

3-23-09 This weekend was great! Although we lost all our games at basketball, I did not care. Right? Right. Because basketball does not matter if you win or not. It may be about your teamwork that your team does to do their best. Or your good progress for your health. But what I think it is mostly about is the teamwork about God. He does not walk away to help someone else. He helps people all at once. Tonight is the night all basketball teams get a trophe.
