Christmas Present for Daddy (with a different video)
Daddy, here's that song that you like on Magic 104.1. This is why I was on YouTube the other day.

Adventures In Repairing DVD Scratches (Part 1)
Months ago, our copy of the Veggie Tales episode The Wonderful Wizard Of Ha's was scratched really badly. I mean, beyond repair.
(This picture doesn't do it justice. There were more scratches than that.)
Or at least, so I thought.
Saturday night, Keegan tried to watch the DVD, and though it didn't go to the menu and the end wouldn't play, it basically worked.
Then I realized that there might be some way to get rid of the scratches. I asked my dad if he knew of any, and he said that he didn't but that we could look it up on the Internet. So I did, and I found out that (among other things) you can use toothpaste to remove those annoying scratches! I tried it an hour or two ago.
I used a new tube and applied it few times.
I tried it 3 or 4 times, the last time waiting a few minutes to see if that would do anything, but all to no avail.
So I tried again, this time with another kind of toothpaste.
Again, it didn't work. It did, however, remove a few of the smaller scratches (at least I think it did).
So I looked it up on the Web again, just to make sure I was doing it the right way. Along the way, I found another method for removing scratches involving toothpaste, peanut butter, seltzer water and paper towels. I'm probably going to try it, so I'll let you know what happens.
On a side note, the VBS musical was last week, the video that I made was shown and I gave out DVDs of it, we (the VBS choir) got to lead worship in church Sunday morning, my birthday is next Monday, my friend is coming over to spend the night on Friday night and I will be working in the 2nd grade Sunday School class again this next school year!
Oh, and get this: you can use a banana to repair DVD scratches!

It's My Father's House!
Here is a video that I made. It's pretty crazy. Most of it was videoed at my grandparent's house in Texas.

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:

I have a LOT to catch up on...
The weekend before last, my aunt and uncle and cousin came all the way from Kansas and spent the night with us.
Being crazy with Cousin Logan
They went with us to Tressa and Keegan's dance recital.
After the recital was over, Daddy was trying to scare Keegan by putting him up on his shoulders and walking around on the ledge. It was a 5ft.+ drop down.
Sunday morning my aunt, uncle, and cousin left and we had our spring violin recital.
Monday night was my band concert. Tomorrow we are going to do a professional recording for a CD that will be coming out this fall.
Daddy finished renovating the chicken pen last week...
Last weekend, my grandparents came over and spent a few nights with us. Grandma took us fishing down by our pond.
They left yesterday morning and my Mema stayed the night with us last night. We took her home this morning on our way to band.
Today at band, we did a recording for a CD of us that will be coming out this fall. There were a bunch of microphones set up in between the rows of chairs, and our director had to wear a pair of headphones. We all had to be really, really quiet whenever the recorders where on and we had to try to make the least amount of noise possible while turning pages, because the mics will pick up every single little sound.

Keegan and I are making a lego movie.
All Star Family Camp is in 1 1/2 weeks and tomorrow is another VBS meeting and VBS starts next week! YAY!

B-days Part 1 (plus a moth)
THE MOTH-
Yesterday before the b-day party, someone found a luna moth on the backside of our garage door.
THE B-DAYS-
Yesterday was my dad's birthday and today is Lathen's birthday and we had a party for them yesterday. Here are some pics.
Bailee looks so cute wearing Lathen's hat that Keegan gave him...
Aww...
Lathen loves his popper thing
Lathen opening presents
Lathen enjoying his first piece of cake (although technically, it was a cupcake)
