Problems with Go Diego Go

1. Watched Go Diego Go with Jack today and Heather and I noticed some problems with the episode. I have posted them for your enjoyment.

1. In the episode the penguin egg is lost. The egg would freeze when the parent isn't keeping it warm.
2. Seagul trys to steal egg. What would a seagul do with a penguin egg?
3. Deigo teaches the penguin how to waddle. Waddling in an inate behavior!
4. Diego feeds the the baby penguin a squid leg about 3 inches long. The food needs to be chewed up. Then the parent penguin regurgitates it into the baby's mouth, Let me see you do that Diego!
5. Diego and the baby penguin hop on rocks that are one foot apart. Why don't they just walk(or waddle) in between the rocks?
6. The hanglider catches a updraft wind that just happens to come when he unfolds the hanglider. Plus he doesn't jump from a high place.
7. In the end the Penguins all say honk. Sounds more like a goose!
8. The penguins speak Spanish:)!

Problems with the show in general:

Kids are alone in wild,drive jeeps,sing every 5 minutes on unimportant things,Rescue pack has a cooler theme than Diego.

Other than this stuff I had a normal day!

Delevans

Went to church this morning at Tabernacle Baptist. There were some missionaries there: the Delevans. They are missionaries in North Jay, Maine. It was awesome to hear how God is working in their lives. I got me thinking how cool it would be to go and serve with them. It was totally a God moment. I might see if it is even a remote possibility. That would be awesome to serve God there. But in the meantime I'll serve him here in this crazy town. (P.S. Here is a picture of their family. I'm going to pray for them. I encourage you to do the same.)

Packed Day

Hey, had a pretty packed day. Took a Geography test on Central Asia and the Caucus region. I think I did OK. Then we went to the library. Dude, the library has so many books the building is the same size as a house. And I got a library card. Never had one so it's cool for me. Metal detectors,(don't wnat any counterfeit books)security(so people don't steal the books I guess), Self checkout(it was pretty snazzy too). I don't think we're in Kansas any more Toto!

And then to top it all off I went and got a beta. Had one before, but I accidentally drugged it up so much it died. And I never got around to getting another one. And so today I finally got a red beta. Haven't named him yet,but I'm open for suggestions.

Cell Phones

Last night my parents went shopping. Little did I know... I was watching TV(cartoons to be exact) when a little blue box showed up in the left hand corner of the screen. NY Call it said. I picked up and it was mom.

"We're at the Verizon store." she said.

"What are you doing there?" I asked.

"We bought cell phones." she replied.

The rest of her words faded away. I was in shock!(I've never been in shock before,but this was it.) When they got home my sister darling girl that she is began to help them set them up. I sat and watched. Technology isn't my thing(unless it is a computer). I am happy with the shortwave receptors God put on either side of my head. Sure they don't work occasionally,but they do their job. I don't need a cell phone. But mom and Dad do.

Youth Seminars in Marilla

Highlights of the two days

1. On the way to Youth Seminars the boys in the car reccorded the "Danny Show"(If you don't know what it is it is rather hard to explain it)
2. Mark Shaw had his first session with us. At first we thought that he wouldn't be as upbeat as the previous speakers. Boy were we wrong! I've never seen so much energy packed a pastor.
3. Pranks at the Mitzel's got a little out of control. It all started when Jordan put toothpaste on everyone's face. "'Vengance is mine,' says the Lord. Did we listen? Nope,we put whipped cream in Jordan's shoes! Jordan then put whipped cream on Sean's glasses. Then, I stole Jordan's hat. Eventually, everyone was satisfied with themselves and we stopped.
4. Saturday morning our church was called up for a contest. They wanted 5 people who could chug. And so Jordan,Sean,Jacquelyn,Micheal,and Danny went up. At first it was neck and neck. Then,Jordan turned on the pumps. We finished first and won a cooler. Cool!
5. Workshops were awesome!! I can't exactly explain all of what I learned in this post,but I learned a lot. The thing that stuck out the most was what Pastor Green said in Workshop#4(Passion for People). "You are the only Bible some people will ever read." It is awesome to see God teach and train you and your friends.
6. The people at Marilla were throwing prizes out. One went so high it smashed a light blub and then hit Jenny on the head! Ouch!

And that's what happened at youth seminars!

Photos of the New Homestead

These are the deer. Doesn't matter that there are tons of people around. These deer are the rulers of the town trapsing wherever they want. (And guess what the woods is filled with smart pills :)!)

This is Heather's pink room. About the only clean room in the entire house.

This is Jackson's blue and tan room. Same as Lauren's room...filled with toys!

This is Lauren's room. Two beds, Barbies galore, and a whole lot of other toys to keep her occupied for hours.

This is my room. A little messy, but it works

The Big Bad Burglar

This is a story about me. This is a true story. I woke up at 4:30 AM on Sunday mroning (3/15/09) I tried to go back to sleep. Then, I heard a noise. Tap...Tap...Tap...Tap. Then, I heard something outside walking on the driveway. Then, I heard a the tapping inside again. I listened to the the tapping for fifteen minutes before I got scared enough to make my move. Quietly I got out of bed went over to my shelf and pulled the best weapon off it I could think of: a trophy with a wooden end. Quietly, I opened the door a crack. I saw none in the entryway. I walked quietly to the stair and ran as fast as I could up them, around the turn and BANG! I ran into my parents' door. It was dark so I kind of missed it. I ran in to the bedroom and told them what happened. Turned out that the big bad burglar was the furnace under my room in the basement.
