Lego sets and Lego plans.

Last Friday I bought two cool new Lego Kingdoms sets called Blacksmith Attack and Escape From Dragon's Prison. They are both pretty cool. One, the Blacksmith Attack come with a blacksmith and a knight, and the other set comes with two dragon knights and two lion knights. And this Sunday, I bought another set called Knights Showdown. It comes with a catapult, a stand for the dragon knight's extra weapon, one dragon knight and one lion knight. I'm planning on buying two other sets called Prison Carriage Pursuit, which is where a dragon knight has captured another lion knight and a lion knight is chasing him. And the other one, Outpost Attack, comes with an outpost, which is a basically a tower, a large catapult, a dragon knight, and two lion knights.

Almost three weeks ago I broke my toe. Which is really annoying, considering it prevents me from doing a lot of gymnastics stuff. The most annoying thing on earth to me right now, is the fact that I can't find these two lego things that I've been looking for all day long. At the Lego Store after the Houston National meet, I bought two lego sets that I think are really cool. One's called the Mandalorian battle pack, the other's called the clone trooper battle pack.

Last night at gymnastics I almost landed a front flip on the floor. My last gymnastics meet of the season is coming up this Sunday. After that, we're going to go to a Lego store in Houston!

We've getting a lot of school done. And my room is mostly clean.

I built a cool Lego speeder bike that splits in half to be two speeder bikes.

Last Friday the Solomons came down and stayed at our house to watch one of my gymnastics competitions. It was pretty fun playing with Blake and Brian. Mostly we played with legos, dominoes and assorted non-lego toys. It was kind of strange.

About a month ago the Jonathans got a new German Shepherd puppy named Anna. She's really cute and has soft black fur.

New Lego Guy

A couple weeks ago I bought a Lego Boba Fett mini-figure. He arrived on Thursday. I modified him a bit, and I changed his head, and now I have a new favorite Lego guy!

I also built a Lego thing that I saw in a book one time. It's called a BARC speeder, which stands for Biker Advanced Recon Commando. It can seat two people—Lego people, of course—and it's pretty cool. I just had to change a couple pieces.

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving the entire table was covered in food, and everyone figured that we would finish all the food. Fortunately we had two Thanksgivings, which made it even funner! The team I was on won in the Bryce Bowl.

On Sunday I spent most of the day at Jarek's house playing on the trampoline. We were pretending to be people from one of our favorite computer games, Age of Empires III. We kind of replayed the campaign, except that we made it different.

And on Monday, me and my mom watched the movie Up. I think it was pretty good. Blake and Brian didn't like it, which I thought was weird.

New Lego Sets

On Sunday I ordered two lego sets--the AAT and the Assassin Droid Speeder. The AAT means Armored Assault Tank. They got here Wednesday, which is one before the earliest they were supposed to arrive, which I thought was pretty cool. They are both really interesting and they come with A LOT of mini figures.

I still am too afraid to do round-off/back handsprings now. I tried some on the tumble trak on Wednesday and then I started doing back flips, so I started deliberately not landing on my feet because every time I landed on my feet it felt like I was twisting my ankle.

Round-off/back handspring on the floor

On Tuesday I did a round-off/back handspring without a spot on the blue mats beside the tumble track! And then on Wednesday, I did a round-off/back handspring on the floor. In fact I did a lot of them. And then on Thursday, I kind of forgot how to do them. Also on Wednesday, I tried a round-off/back flip from the floor onto a mat in the pit, but I didn't land it.

Yesterday I built a large airplane out of legos. It was designed to kind of be a cross between an A10 Thunderbolt, or "Warthog", and some type of World War II bomber. It had a 360 degree rotating turret on top and enough room for possible 15 mini figures. It had a crate inside for storage and ten engines.

I also think I have my back handspring down full on the yellow trampoline at gymnastics.

We're very excited about going on the Feast very soon. We had church at the ranch today, and me and Indiana had some fun playing with legos after church. And on the way back I drew a picture of a castle with wheat fields, corn fields, a watermelon field, a carrot field and a potato field being harvested. And there were some towers, too. It had everything from the gate to the keep and workers harvesting the crops and some guards.

On Wednesday night we went to eat Outback before the Feast of Trumpets, which was on Thursday. The services were at the Ranch, again, because Indiana's house was having some flooding problems and Lilly is sick.

On Tuesday we had another private lesson. I practiced back handsprings and back flips and mushroom circles. I think I have the back handsprings and back flips down on the trampoline.

Today me and my mom got to watch The Spy Next Door together, and I think she really liked it. I haven't asked her yet.

It took us one hour to find some pairs of gloves that I was going to use for gymnastics 'cause we could never find them at any of the other stores. And I lost one, so we had to buy the gloves.

And we also ate Chipotle, which is one of my favorite restaurants.

Today in the mail I got some books from the Schaeffers. They're DK and I really like DK books.

Yesterday we went to a different gym called J & R gymnastics, that's the gym I used to go to. I practiced back flips and back handspring, and yeah, I did back handsprings that night at Artemov Gymnastics.

Also in the mail, the movie The Spy Next Door came. I really want to see that one.

Today church is in Lockhart.

We had French toast for breakfast. Yummy!

I built a cool lego thing. At first I thought I was building a boat, but then I changed my mind and started to build an airplane, but it still had the boat bottom. It was pretty cool. It was three stories tall, and it had a lego tv, a bed and a couch in there, as well as the controls. Captain Vein's personal suite is on the top floor.

I can definitely do a back lever now, and that's pretty cool.

Today I rearranged my favorite lego guy. He looks cooler now. I usually do that every couple of weeks or so.

We went to a movie on Wednesday. It was called Cats and Dog: Revenge of Kitty Galore, and it was about cats and dogs who work together to stop this evil cat, Kitty Galore. Kitty Galore was the ugliest cat I've seen in my life, and Diggs the main character is a German Shepherd, and he's a really cute German Shepherd too.

Lilly's family came to watch me do gymnastics on Wednesday.

Good day

This morning I woke up early, at 6:45 and I usually wake up at 7. So we go an early start on our routine, and we did all of school before gymnastics, which was insane, and when we came back all I had to do was afternoon prayer and Bible study and floss and brush my teeth and then I could have free time.

I don't like journaling because it's boring. I can't think of anything to say. I don't think of anything to say when I don't like something!! That's all.

I colored two of my lego guys' faces with marker. Blue and red.

I almost did a back lever on rings at gymnastics. It's kind of like lying down flat, but with your arms up above your body, but you're hanging in the air. It's pretty hard. It's the first time I ever did it. And when I showed our coach, Vladimir Artemov, my floor routine he said, "Pretty decent." and he's an Olympic gold medalist! He won all-around in the 1988 Olympics.

Yesterday at church me and Indiana played with play-do and I brought a few lego guys and we did some cool things with the play-do. We made casts with the lego guys. I built castle walls with the play-do, and then knocked them down, and I made several bears out of the play-do.

We practiced some back handsprings today on part of my mom's mattress. That's all I can think of.
