Ultimate Alliance 2

Max and I beat Ultimate Alliance 2 1 time on rebels. Oh, yeah you get to pick a side, you can register with the government or you can be a rebel. We beat it with rebels, and now we are on register. The people we have are: Storm, Ms. Marvel, Jean Grey, Invisible Woman, Songbird, and well I forgot the other women. The boys we have are: Venom, Green Goblin, Captin America, Spider Man, Wolverine, boys in the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Luke Cage, Gambet, Dead Pool, Thor, Iron Fist, and we don't have the Inredible Hulk. Hulk, Thor, and Jean Grey are the ones where you have to collect things around levels to unlock them. For Hulk you collect gamma regulars { five of them}. For Jean you collect Mcrann fragments {five of them}. And for thor you collect five asgardian runes.

Sing

This weekend we attended Ben's school carnival. He was so nervous to go because he had to play the recorder with his classmates. He did great! I was so proud of him!

Ben loves to sing - he's one of the loudest singers in Primary. I love to hear him sing gospel songs.

Dramatics

Ben is such a kind, loving kid. Although there is another side to him. And that side is stubborn beyond belief. Tonight I turned off the t.v. because it was time for bed. That made Ben upset. I told him if he turned the t.v. back on he would be grounded from X-Box tomorrow. He turned the t.v. back on. So I grounded him. Everything went downhill from there. Lots of yelling...mostly by Ben. He finally said, "I'M NOT GOING TO BED! I'M SLEEPING ON THE COUCH!" "Fine," I replied. "Sleep there." To which he said, "I'll sleep on this cold wasteland that is now my bed."

I kid you not. Give the boy an Oscar already.

Ben Update

I'm taking matters into my own hands with Ben's blog. He has neglected it too long! I'm thinking of making him post 2 Sundays a month.

Ben has been having a great summer. We went to the beach - in fact, I could barely get him to come out of the water. He LOVED boogie boarding sooo much. He loves to swim at Grandmas, play Wii and go to swim lessons. He's a really good swimmer and doing great in his lessons. His favorite thing to do is dive down to the bottom of the 12 foot pool. Unfortunately, now he has an ear infection.

Ben is a great big brother. As soon as Evan sees him in the morning, he runs over and hugs him tightly and screams, "BEN!!" He and Max have been fighting more, mostly because Max isn't getting enough sleep. Ben loves to watch "Ben 10" and "Drake and Josh" (psst...I secretly love both those shows too).

One of the best things about Ben is his laugh. It's actually more of a giggle and I love it! When he tries to tell me a joke, sometimes he will start laughing and fall to the floor, giggling uncontrollably. I love it! Ben is also stubborn, loyal, trustworthy and fair. And he thinks everything should be fair.

He is an awesome kid - I'm so lucky to be his mom.

Update

You might have seen this picture on my mom's blog. I got a black eye playing baseball. It doesn't really hurt. My mom said she was proud of me because I went to my game the next day.

I like baseball - I am having so much fun. All but one boy on my team are from my school. We all cheer for each other and are having lots of fun.

School is almost over and I am so excited for summer. I am going to swim, go to the cabin and play with Max ALOT. We have chicken eggs in an icubator at school. They are going to hatch soon - I can't wait! My favorite things to do right now are: coloring, go to grandmas to play Brawl, wrestly with my brothers and go on the trampoline.

Saturday

I was riding my bike yesterday and I pretended I was racing. I rode my bike to the park with my friends. The most fun part was riding down a hill. My friend Christian liked that part too. Christian and I took turns riding the bike and scooter on the sidewalk. The sidewalk was curvy and steep. It was fun. The bike and scooter were the same speed. Christian did a lot of tricks on the scooter. Christian and I have been friends since we were babies.

My dad has been working on my Pinewood Derby car. It's Optimus Prime. My dad does a good job. I love my car. He painted it red and still needs to finish painting it. I hope he lets me help. He says when he is done I have to share it with Max. I don't want to share with Max because I'm afraid he'll break it. I hope it's going to be fast. Alexander is making a race car for the Pinewood Derby.

Bionicles and other things

I got three new Bionicles with my Christmas money. Two are underwater creatures. One is a giant crab. The other is a giant squid. The third one is a vampire (sweet!). I like to watch Bionicle movies online with my brother Alexander.

Alot of stuff has happened since I last blogged. I had my birthday party. And Christmas! I had two weeks off school. We went bowling, hiking and I saw a few movies. I also got to spend the night at James' house, Joseph's house and Christian's house. My break was pretty fun.

This Saturday I am going to be baptized into my church. I am a little nervous but mostly excited. Today I had to have an pre-baptism interview. I'm happy to say I passed!

I have been having lots of fun.
