GO RAVENS

IT'S BEEN A WHILE

Sorry I've been away for a while. I have had lots of things going on. The last time I was on was in June of last year! During June I was spending lots of time with my family in Utah; good times. Then when I got back I was really busy with two football teams and school work; after that I had basketball season. On one football team, which was a county team, we went completely undefeated. We won the super bowl. After the Super bowl we played another super bowl champ from a different league. We beat them 36-0. It was cool. On my 7th grade team we won every game except one. We lost by one touchdown. It really sucked. In basketball we won every game except one. They were some awesome seasons. Now I am preparing for football season again and catching up on school work. I am really excited for next football season! I cant wait! I will try to update my blog more. Thank you for coming to my blog and checking it out. Talk to you guys later!!!

CATFISH JUGGIN

This past weekend my Dad, Big Coops,  and I tried a little Catfish juggin (I think that's how you spell it).  We caught a pretty cool looking Bluecat and had a really good time.

MEMORIAL DAY UP CLOSE

On Memorial Day me and my family went to Friendship Cemetery.  We got to see all sorts of graves.  Some of the tombstones dated back to just a few years after the Declaration Of Independence.  We also saw tombstones of confederate soldiers, I thought those were awesome.  There was a huge tombstone about 13 feet high dedicated to all the soldiers.  But my favorite part of the cemetery was at the end, it was kind of closed off from the rest.  There were rows and rows of unknown soldiers.  It looked really cool.  Right in the middle of all the unknown soldiers were four tombstones of confederate soldiers that were Brigadier generals.  All in all It was a very fun way to spend my Memorial Day.

The birthplace of Memorial Day

Confederate Soldiers

Another great monument

I'll bet this place is creepy at night

Cool and sad at the same time

So many unknowns

Finally, we got Mom in a picture

P.S- Two more days till we leave to Utah.

VOLUNTEERING

Today was great.  We got up early and spent a few hours volunteering at Camp Rising Sun.  Camp Rising Sun is a camp for kids with cancer.  One of the kids that attends the camp every summer passed away this winter.  The camp is doing a memorial for her in June and we spent the morning cleaning up the area that is going to be used for the memorial.  We worked pretty hard (it was very hot) and had lots of fun together.

It took a while for the haze to burn off

It's heavier than it looks

That was exhausting

Best Friends

These two worked really hard

Beware of the Beaver-Shark

FIREARMS

Here are a few pictures of me shooting guns last week.  It was awesome.  My Dad and his friend were there to help me.   I can't wait to go again.  Next time my Dad and I are going to have a contest.

First shots with the M4

Just like me

Much more comfortable

Bring on the shotgun

Time to check the target

SCHOOLS OUT!

Finally, I can't believe it.  I am so exited for this summer!  This past school year has been interesting; making student council, making the basketball team, and being voted the best all around sixth grade boy has made it fun to say the least. It has been good down here but I have been counting down the days till Utah.  Home sweet home!  With cousins to play with, old friends to see, and just a whole lot of fun, I don't think I am going to be bored for one second in Utah. I miss my family so much, I am going to appreciate the time with them much more this year.  I have experienced many changes while in Mississippi; can you say middle-school and puberty?  Who would have known that I was going to be as tall as my mother so fast!  My dad on the other hand....... I still have some time to go =}.Well, I will post again soon, so, till next time.
