On the morning of August 9, 2011, the day before school started, Garrett, Grant, my mom, my dad, my Aunt Jill, and I went to Six Flags. This was my first time, and I was really excited. I rode lots of rides but my favorite was the Goliath. The Goliath is the highest rollercoaster in Six Flags. At first, my parents thought I was too short, but then I measured myself and I was three inches over the required height. I felt sorry for Grant, my little brother; he was way too short because the height was 54 inches and above, so he stayed with my mom and dad and they rode another rollercoaster. We had already rode a few rides and they were pretty fun, but the Goliath was the best. The first time, (the best time, too) my Aunt Jill, Garrett, and I went. We started going up and my Aunt Jill FREAKED out because she was scared of heights and we were really high! When we were at the top, I thought my eardrums were going to pop because of the screaming at the end of the ride. Then we went down. It was awesome, twisting, turning, the clinking of the rollercoaster, and even though it was pretty short, it was the best rollercoaster ever. It felt like every time we went up, we were floating. We ended up going two more times, and it was awesome. I loved Six Flags, especially Goliath, and I hope we go again next year.

What is a noun? My Poem  By Blake Blake is a noun. Cake is a noun. Even a run-over snake is a noun. Tree is a noun. Bee is a noun. In fact, even the whole sea is a noun. If it's a pump, a pie, a pug,  if it's a hundred year old coffee mug. If it's a sound, a frown, or clown,  it's elementary---it's a noun!

Book Summary: When Jason wakes up in a bus leading to the middle of nowhere, he has no idea who he is, where he is, and why he is there. This amazing mythological [which means it has Greek and Roman gods in it] book, //The Lost Hero//, by Rick Riordan,is about how Jason, Leo, who apparently is his best friend, and Piper, his "girlfriend," go on a journey to regain Jason's memories. But before that, they meet a violent saytr, go to Camp Half-Blood, a camp for Greek demigods, where they find out they are demigods, which means that they have godly parents. Then Jason figures out that he has had his memories stolen by a goddess who needs his help. I like how every chapter, Rick Riordan switches from Jason's point of view in one chapter, Leo's in another, and Piper's after that. That way you can "read" all of their thoughts, not just one person's thoughts. Will Jason get his memories back? This book is filled with humor, action, suspense, and mystery in an adventure of a lifetime.

Winter Is...   Drinking warm, hot chocolate on a snowy day   The day of Jesus's birth   Caroling out in the snow   Burrowing into the deep, cold snow   Roasting marshmellows over a warm, comfortable fire Waiting just a few more days until the holidays!! Opening presents on Christmas morning  Sleding down the hill in my backyard   Covered in blankets head to toe   Having snowball fights with my friends   Feeling the ice cold air hit my face once I open my door NO SCHOOL!!!

I Love You More Than Football I love you more than football,  Than deep passes and long runs,   Than touchdowns,   And first downs,   Under the hot sun. I love you more than winning,  And the last seconds,   Than cheers,   And tears,    And celebrations after. I love you more than basketball,  Than going down to score,   For I love assists,   Not fists,   But I love you more.

Ode to Four-Wheelers By: Blake O, epic four-wheeler How I love our glorious rumble As I start you up Your speed fills me with happiness With unbelievable ease Your power exhilarates me Your temple? Your home? It is the awesome garage Protecting you from (the) rust (of death) Your wheels are like fire Rolling around like a boss O, epic four-wheelers O, epic four-wheelers How you are so, so, very beast.

I Remember

By: Blake

I remember seeing my grandmother drive up our driveway. I remember watching her take a cage out of her car. I remember rushing over to see what was in the cage she had brought out. I remember seeing a chubby little golden retriever in the cage. I remember watching him trip over his paws, way too big for his body. I remember naming him Samson, after Samson the Strong in the Bible. I remember running around with him in the yard. I remember feeding him every day. Some things I may forget, but when it comes to Samson, there are many things I remember.

Coach to Player  By: Blake Well boy, let me tell you something: Life for me hasn’t been an easy first down. It had losses in it, And injuries, And quitters, And just plain old bad seasons. Losing. But the whole game  I’ve been moving on, And reaching first downs,  And scoring touchdowns, And sometimes being behind Where there hasn’t been any hope. So son, don’t give up. Don’t settle for a field goal Just because it’s fourth down. Don’t you lose hope now— ‘Cause the games not over, yet  I’m still on the field, And life for me hasn't been an easy first down.
