Vocabulary Challenge

The other day, I got this really cool planner that has a list of "100 Words That All High School Students Should Know," and a thing were you can learn three words a day.

Well today, I was quizzing my dad on the meaning of some of the words. It was fun.

I have a challenge for everyone today. The first person to give the correct definition to each of these words without using a dictionary or an online resource will be dubbed, "Person With The Biggest Vocabulary That I Know."

Here are the words:

1. Sybarite
2. Juxtapose
3. Chicanary
4. Moiety
5. Soporific

Ready, set, go!!!

I waited waaaaaay too long to blog about this...

I should have blogged about this a long time ago...Two weeks ago (yes two weeks!)
Keegan and Mathias and Tressa and I went to our grandparents house in Altus. We went skating, saw Prince Caspian again, rode bumper cars and go karts at a mini amusement park, went to this park called "Imagination Station," and went swimming.

















Fun with the Slip 'n Slide









Oh, and I have been given permission to make a video about VBS! It's going to be a lot of fun!

Another Must-See

The other day, I made a movie on the Zimmer Twins website called Prince Zaspian, obviously inspired by Prince Caspian. Well, today I got on the Zimmer Twins website and saw that Prince Zaspian has been made a Must-See movie, and not alot of movies are chosen to be Must-Sees! Here is a link to Prince Zaspian.

My other movies that have become Must-Sees

• CUT!!!
  
• Zimmer Python (Part 1)
• Find That Number! (Part 1)
  

Here are all the movies that I have made on the Zimmer website.

This always makes me laugh.

All-Star Family Camp

We are back from All-Star Camp. We had a worship service when we got there, then we went outside and had a bonfire. We roasted marshmallows and made s'mores and played sports. I played volleyball, and we played until 10 or 11 p.m., then we went to bed. I did not sleep at all. I was way too excited! The boys and the girls were in separate rooms in a cabin.

The next morning, we got up at around 6 a.m., and then we had breakfast at 8. Afterward, we went to a worship service, and then after lunch we went swimming in the lake.

Me and my roommate, Payge.

I had to save Tressa from floating down the river, and I have the cuts and scratches from the rocks to show for it.

I ended up having even more scratches after we went swimming again later.



They have this the called the Blob, which is this big blow up thing where one person jumps on it, then another person jumps on it and makes the other person fall off. It looked pretty fun, but I didn't do it.



Then we did the Splatter Barn, which is non competitive paintball.







Then we went back to our room to get dressed for our "Night At The Oscars" theme night. I was Susan Pevensie from the Chronicles Of Narnia, and Tressa was Lucy Pevensie. Keegan was Indiana Jones, Mathias was an Olympic swimmer, and my mom was Beatrix Potter.



We had dinner, then we took our costumes off and had a worship service. Then we went to bed. I actually went to sleep this time!

This morning, I got up around 7:30 a.m. and we had breakfast. We then went on the Zipline, which is the tallest in Oklahoma.



Then we had another worship service, and then we left. I didn't want to leave. We left around 12:20 and got back around 3:35.

Some of my favorite pics from this weekend

So cute...

Switched

Let me explain the post title.

So yesterday we had just gotten to VBS, and our coordinator came up to me and said, "We're going to switch you to 1st grade, if thats ok with you."

Then after the opening, I ended up getting switched back to the 2nd grade class.

But VBS was still really fun, even though I was EXHAUSTED afterward. I was working alongside a couple, and we had 10 kids in our class. It was fun.

All-Star Camp starts tomorrow! It's going to be AWESOME!

My Portfolio

Here are some of the best pictures I've ever drawn.

This is Prilla. She is a fairy from the Disney Fairies movie.



This is Rani. She is a fairy from the Disney Fairies movie, too.



Here are Bob and Larry with winter hats on.



Here is Leg-O-Lamb from Lord Of The Beans with talking trees throwing raspberries at him, like in the show (Veggie Tales episodes are usually kind of weird like that).



Here is Toto Baggypants in Lord Of The Beans in the Land Of Woe after he throws the bean into the well.



This is a picture of Jonah in the whale that I drew for Awana.



Here is a picture of Larry Boy swinging on his plunger ears.



Random Veggie Tales characters.



A flower that I painted a long time ago.
