Wow, i haven't been on here in forever!!
My grandmas computer had been acting up lately, and wouldn't let us get on it!! Well, today is a snow day. Which isn't a bad thing I'd just rather be at school with all my friends then stuck at home with nothing to do. Today I'm going to right about my cousin April Lee Elrod.
 
  April is the cousin i look up to. I really love her and how she treats everyone.. April just bought a new house! Even though i haven't been over to see it in person, i know shes doing a GREAT job with it.. Shes a great designer, so she'll know where to put what to make it look amazing. April has always been a good person, shes there to make you laugh when you're having a bad day.
Everyone asks you who you look up to, or who you want to be like? And my answer is April Lee Elrod!!(:
I love you April, and i hope your house is going great!!!

BaSkEtBaLl!!!((:

  I just got home from basketball practice about a half hour ago. We did alot of drills and practiced a couple new plays. I have a picture of MJ here because i want to be a great basketball player just like him. Michael Jordan is number 23 and plays for the BULLS. but i have realized that it doesn't matter if you win or lose, its about how you play. If you play a good game; play your hardest and get that ball in the HOOP, you win the game. Don't let anyone tell you that you aren't gonna win, because that just makes you mad and then you just prove them wrong. I've learned alot from playing basketball; it takes the whole TEAM to win a game.. There isn't an 'I' in basketball for a reason. This is because the game isn't all about the 'point gaurd' or the 'post' its about the whole team working together to get that ball in the basket. That you MJ and Coach Thornton for teaching me all of these things.

christmas!!

   This Christmas was very nice. Christmas Eve we went to Grandma and Grandpa Greats house. Usually we eat before we open gifts, but it went a little differently. Lizzy and Connie delivered gifts while everyone was visiting! When you got your gift, you opened it and then saw what everyone else got. Grandpa greats gift was the most special. He got a horse, Charlie. I got to help my little cousin Kaden open his present. He got this squishy ball, socks, a book, and other things. His favorite was that ball; he would not get it out of his hands. After everyone ate, we did this little play like thingy that Lizzy put together. It turned out really well!! Everyone was laughing! We ate and then visited the rest of the time. It was nice to see everyone.!

   Christmas day i was at Grandma Judy's house. We got up and opened our presents! Zach got new boots and 22 shells. I got new boots, earrings, and a book bag. After that we got a call from Nathan asking if breakfast was ready. So Nathan, Lizzy and Tony all came up for breakfast. After that Zach, Nathan, Tony, Lizzy and I all went to see Charlie. Surprisingly, we saw Grandpa and Grandma doing the same thing, but they couldn't find him. So they went home and we went in the field to find him. We looked for awhile, then we found him. All of us kids walked right up to him. He was a little spooky because, yanno new field; new people. But he seemed like he liked us alright.

   The day after Christmas we had a dinner for the Rowe/ Akridge/ Tilley family. Everyone showed up and we had a nice time! Zach and Nathan got these helicopters and about took Lizzy and Is head off. But over all the things i did this Christmas, this one turned out a lot better than i thought it would![=
