Bowling...

On Monday Dominic, Franky, Russell and I went bowling. We had lots of fun. I got these pictures with my new camera.






















Russell picked out the song.
Then on Tuesday we went again with the addition of my mother. These are the final scores for three games. The top is my mother, 2nd Russell, 3rd dominic, 4th me and 5th Franky.

Christmas meals


For breakfast my parents made deviled eggs, crescent rolls, bacon and Cinnamon buns.
























For dinner we had manicotti, meat balls, sausage, pork, and quail(they look like sparrows), but they tasted really good.

Heres a picture of the quails wishbone, it's so small!

ITS CHRISTMAS!!!


On Christmas morning I woke up about 7:15 and discovered that I was the last one to wake up(besides my parents)! There were soo many wraped gifts under the tree. I got a lot of really nice gifts from my family.








I'd say one of the most interesting of the gifts I recieved was this knife/pocket watch set my grandparents got me. It could be thought of as a
collectors item or maybe a little controversal. But anyway its the thought that matters.





The pocket watch dipicts the Confederate general Robert E. Lee (left) and the Union general Ulysses S. Grant (right). It's a really nice gift!

WOW!! A GIANT SNOWMAN!!






















WOW!! It's a 9 FOOT SNOWMAN!!
Franky and I built it Friday afternoon. Franky wanted to beat our record of 7 feet from last year, and, I think we did. In order to get the head on I had to stand on a bench with my arms fully extended above my head with the heavy snowball in my hands. By the end of the day it was toppled over by the wind i guess. It was fun to build it!

Auto Tip #3


I heard this from my grandmother a couple of years ago, then I saw it on the Internet a few days ago. To preserve the underside of your car from rust and keep any components from rotting, you should have it cleaned. The main reason to clean the bottom of the car is to clean off any salt that gets kicked up from the roads during the winter season. Salt is very corrosive and will prematurely rust and rot the underside of the car. You can get it cleaned when you bring your car to the car wash, just ask them to clean the undercarriage. If you clean your car yourself you can easily clean the undercarriage with a sprinkler. Just put one of those sprinklers that go slowly back and forth under the front of your car for about 10 minutes, then move it toward the back (to make sure every thing gets rinsed).
