Family Time

Our family is great. We have a big family. I am the oldest. In the picture is, (from left to right): my brother Owen, Dad, Baby Amy, my brother Ryan, me, and my brother Daniel. My mom isn't in this picture because she is taking the picture!!!

Some things that we like to do as a family are: play card or board games, go to St. George, swim, and watch movies on the computer. (We don't have a TV). :(

Our favorite card games are Uno and Pit. Pit is kind of like the stock market, except it is with cards. Everyone knows what Uno is. It is two things. It is a card game and it is "one" in Spanish.
Our favorite board games are Clue Mysteries, Monopoly, and Risk. Clue Mysteries is a different kind of Clue. It has 50 different kinds of mysteries.

That is a little bit on our family.
Until next time, good bye!

Choosing the Wrong (Shakespeare)

When you choose the wrong, you can do three things. You can tell the truth , lie, or try and cover it up. You can always tell when someone is lying. This is a poem (song) about lying.

"My teacher told me I should never tell a lie,
Because a lie will bring you trouble sure as pie.
It's and awful thing to do,
And it's as true as true,
You'll get caught and then you'll start to cry.

"You'll have a horrid painful pounding in your head,
And you'll fell your face get hot and turn bright red.
Then your heart will start to thump;
In your throat you'll get a lump
And you'll feel as bad you'll wish you could lie right down and die.
You're much better off if you never tell a lie,
Not even sometimes."

And worse, Heavenly Father knows, you lose your trust and ruin your character.
This is and example of trying to cover things up.
Example: King David decided not to lead the war. While he was up on the roof, he saw a woman washing herself. He wanted her, so he arranged to kill her husband, Uriah, to get killed. Then the prophet, Nathan, said that he did something wrong and that he can't go into the Celestial Kingdom. He felt bad.

DON'T DO BAD THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!11111

Herbert was walking along the beach, when he saw a bottle. He rubbed it and out popped a genie. The genie said, "I will grant you 3 wishes." Herbert thought for a moment and said, "For my first wish, I would like to be the richest man in the world". A puff of smoke and Poof! All the grains of sand turned into millions of gold coins. "For my next wish", said Herbert," I would like to have muscles like Arnold Swartsinager". And poof! He had fine muscles. Then Herbert said, "For my last wish, I want to be irresistible to girls". And poof! He turned into a Barbie doll. Ha Ha ha!!!!

Piano and other Stuff

This is what I like to do.

I like to play the piano. I am really good. I am learning Jon Schmidt songs. Jon Schmidt is a fun piano guy. I'm learning his "Waterfall" song.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCFzEOQqTOg&feature=related

I don't play it as fast, but I can play it.

I also play basketball. Basketball is my favorite sport. I play it because I am the tall guy, and it is fun. I play in the West Haven Recreation.

I also love to read! Reading is my favorite thing to do. Right now I am reading Brisinger. I have almost all of the Bionicle books, I read Wishbone books, I read Harry Potter, which I finished, and lots of other books. I read for Polar Star, and I have the Reading Merit Badge.

I like John Bytheway. My mom got them and they are so funny. You need to watch them. Everyone knows who John Bytheway is!

I like blogging as you can see. That is some of the things that I like to do. Until next time, good bye!

Bionicle Heroes

Click on the addresses to see the trailer.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwqhT_6xAy8

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaiczUwT1E4&NR=1atch?v=IaiczUwT1E4&NR=1atch?v=IaiczUwT1E4&NR=1

Bionicle Heroes is a fun game. It was made by the same company that made Lego Star Wars. I have this on computer. You play as the Toa Inika. The Toa Inika are: Jaller, (say Jal-ah), Hahli, (say hah- lee), Nuparu, (say nu- pa-ru), Hewkii, (say Hoo-kee), Matoro, (say ma-tor-o), and Kongu, (say kon-goo). They must defeat the Piraka, which are the bad guys. The Piraka are: Hakann, (say ha-can), Vezok, (say vee-zok), Reidak, (say ray-dak), Zaktan, (say zak-tan), Avak, (say a-

vak) and Thok, (say it like it is). On the computer, you need to
fight another Piraka: Vezon. On the Gameboy, at the end, you fight all the Piraka at the same time. It is a cool game!!!!

Bionicles rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Superstition

Why do we think, "Oh, it is Friday the 13th."? Why do we pick up a penny for good luck? Well, it is this thing called superstition. In the dictionary, superstition means: A belief from fear, ignorance, or from magic and chance from that supernatural.

Superstition is in my family in a lot of ways. First, Friday the 13th. I think it is a bad luck day. Lots of bad things happen on that day. one reason is that if you step on a crack on that day, you break your mom's back. I step on cracks on purpose, and that never happened.

Another bad luck thing is: the black cat. If it crosses your path, you have bad luck for 7 years. I have had lots of black cats cross my path, and I am pretty lucky. It the cat is halfway across, turn around. Also, if you beak a mirror, you get 7 years of bad luck.

There is one thing that I do believe in, and it is: a watched pot never boils. When I boil water for anything, it never does. I hate that. One good luck thing is the lucky penny. If you pick it up off the ground two things will happen: one, you get richer, and two, you get good luck.

We have this thing called the Lewis Family Curse. We never win anything. I broke it when I won an electric piano in a piano recital drawing. I was so surprised. I also won something at the rock and gem show. I am so lucky.

So there is some " beliefs from fear, ignorance, of magic and chance from the supernatural" in my family. Those are our superstitions.

Lord of the Rings

Lord of the Rings is awesome! It is a trilogy in 6 DVDs.The trilogy is: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. I am on The Return of the King. I am watching it with my mom and dad.

It is about a hobbit named Frodo. A hobbit is a short person who loves to eat. Frodo is the guy in the bottom right corner next to the weird guy named Gollum. He lives with Bilbo Baggins. He is his nephew. Bilbo has this ring that he found in a cave. It is a bad ring of power. There were these guys who made 3 rings for the elves, 6 for the dwarfs, and 9 for the humans. The 9 humans turned evil. Then there was this guy who made a ring of power in the fires of Mount Doom. In order for the ring to be destroyed, it needs to be burned in the fires of Mount Doom, otherwise, it can't be destroyed. So Frodo is taking it to Mount Doom, aided by Sam, his gardener,Merry and Pippen, two other hobbitts, Gandolf the wizard, Legolas, the elf, Gimli, the dwarf, Aragorn is a long living guy, and Boromir, a human.

I is an awesome movie trilogy. I love it. It is my dad's favorite movie.
Until next time, good by.

Liken the Scriptures

Click on the next words. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49uoGes3e7I This is the best song. It is hilarious. I like these movies because they tell scripture stories in a funny way. You have to see them. We have 3 of them. They are: Nephi and Laban, Daniel and the Lions, and David and Goliath.

You can find them at Church stores like Deseret Book.

Little Caesars won the poll. I like Little Caesars because it is the only pizza we ever have.

It is awesome.

What Made Waskhington a Great Man? How Can I be More Like him?

George Washington is a great man for a lot of reasons. One reason is, during the war, he knew ho to lead people. This is one Key of Liberty story: When the British were coming, and the soldiers were getting scared, Washington pulled out 2 pistols and said that if anyone ran, he will shoot at them.

Not really a good way to get people to follow you, but the soldiers got braver and fought.

Another reason is that he didn't want to be king, and he became out first president. People looked up to him. When he turned down a third term, King George was surprised, but admired him in that way.

That list could go on and on, but I'll do one more.George Washington was smart. People came to ask advice from him. He was smart when he surprised the Hessians by crossing the Delaware River on Christmas. He was smart during the presidency. He chose the spot for Washington D. C.

There are lots of of reasons, but George Washington was a good man. I could be more like him by following his example. That is it. Following his example.

Amusement Parks

The three that won in my poll is Lagoon, California Adventure Park, and Legoland. I have been to all three, and I will talk about all three of them.

Lagoon is awesome! This is a cool picture. My favorite rides are: Wicked, Rattlesnake Rapids, All the roller coasters, and the Rocket. My dad worked here, and he rode the Colossus with NO seat constraint! He said the force makes it so you don't fall out.

California Adventure Park is fun!. I liked the Grizzly River Run. I went here when
I was 10. That was 3 years ago. I don't remember much. While we were going there on the bus, the driver told a joke. Why does Tigger stink? You'll stink too if you play with Pooh!(poo).

This is the Legoland entrance. Legoland has statues built of Legos that took years to make! There was a water park that had a HUGE bucket that fills up with water and dumps all over!

Amusement parks are fun. They are great to go to with families. Until next time, bye!

Court of honor

We had a Court of Honor some days ago. I had a good time. I got all the merit badges that I got at Camp Bartlett and some while I was in Farmington. In Scouts, I am the most experienced in Scouting. We go camping, play games, work on requirements, and all that stuff. At Camp Bartlett, (with my old ward), we did a skit that was funny. We saw a lot of skits. This is a short one. 2 guys. 1st guy: It's all around me , all around me, ahh!

2nd guy: What is all around you?

First guy: My BELT!
Isn't that funny? Below is the merit badges that I got.

Citizenship in the Nation Wilderness Survival











Citizenship in the World Leatherwork









Archeology Oceanography

Public Speaking Small-Boat Sailing

Pioneering (Knots)

Well that is it! Until next time, good bye!

Shakespeare & Key of Liberty

Writting assignments for Polar Star.
Shakespeare:
How would I make a decision? It depends. If my mom said,"Where would you like to eat?" I would either say my favorite restaurant: Sizzler, or a fast food restaurant that sounds good.
If I was asked, "If you could vote, who would you vote for?" I would research on the computer. It may take a couple of days. Then I would make my decision.

Good decision:
The Saints built temples when Heavenly Father said to. Outcome: They had blessing poured out upon them.
Bad decision:
Cain listened to Satan and killed Abel. When Heavenly Father asked him about it, he lied.
Outcome: Cain and his family were cast off and became wicked.

Two of the best ways to make a decision is to pray and listen to the Spirit. They helped me decide what people to be in the deacons presidency. My cousin, Kendrick, is having a hard time deciding why he should succeed in collage. He doesn't know how to pray and he is sad. I feel sorry for him.
Well, that is my paper.

Key of liberty:
Some of my God-Given rights are: freedom, liberty, free-agency, the pusuit of happiness, and life.
When we can defend those rights with guns,it depends on if you feel threatened. If my family had a gun, and a really bad dude came and was doing bad things to a family member, like me, we could shoot him and not go to prison. We should try and let the police take care of it.

If we were in a war, and we tried to talk it out, but it doesn't work, then we can use weapons.
We should try to talk it out. It is much better then killing.
That is my paper.

Bionicles I made

These are Bionicles that I made . They are cool.

This is and Order of Mata Nui member. I am not that clever of making names up. He has an elecric claw, a shield, fire sword, a chain that takes elemental powers, and a Cordak blaster. He has a mask of Rahi Control. He has rockets on his legs that make him fly. He has control of Fire.

This is a Brotherhood of Makuta member. He is well armored and extremely strong. He has 2 swords, a fire shooter, and rockets of his legs that make him fly. He has a mask of Meteor Shower. He can cause meteor showers. He hs all Makuta powers.

This is an Order of Mata Nui too. She has 2 shields that have sharp edges, a grapple weapon, and a Mask of Mechanics. She can build anything even from dust. She has water and flying powers.

This is a Toa of Stone. He has twin hammers/jackhammers, an arm blade, and a sword. He is able to launch Rhokuta spinners from a launcher on his back. He is well armored. He runs at the speed of sound. He has a mask of Elasticity. He can be elastic. He has a rocket booster on his back.

This is a Toa of Magnetisum. He can magnitize anyhing. He has an air sythe, and a dagger sword. He has shoulder blades and built-in boosters on his feet. He has a Mask of Weather Control. He crashes into things a lot because he has a mental problem, so he usually works with someone else.

And this is a Toa of Sonics. He can make anything from sound. He is well armored and smart, but moves slowly. He has a rocket booster on his back, an Ice Axe, Arm blades, and a confusion launcher. He has a Mask of Telepathy. He can read minds.

Welll, that is it. They are cool, aren't they. Until next time, bye!
