My mom had nothing to write about so I'm writing for her. This will probably be short because I don't have a lot to write.

Lately, Kansas weather has been very unusual. We've had 6 snow days in the last 54 days. Following the latest, the next day temperature was 70 degrees. Now it's in the 30's again.

Hayden learned to climb dog steps. He's only done it once so far, and even then I don't know if forcefully dragging him up counts as climbing.

Mykiah read me some forensics speech all the way home from school. Her teacher edited it for her because she is one of her favorite students.

I think we're having sloppy joes for dinner. Of course, by the time you read this it will have been yesterday.

Well, that's pretty much it. I know that you will be extremely entertained by this fulfilling content.

I'm going to write about my ideal thanksgiving meal.

Basically the only meat I am willing to consume is ground beef and bologna. I dislike turkey, chicken, and other meats of Thanksgiving, Mashed isn't my favorite style of potato either. My ideal meal would be much different.

I would probably have a burger, not Mc. Donalds but like Applebee's, and fries. It would pretty much be an average, everyday meal. For dessert, I would have lemon cheesecake and apple sauce. I would drink one of those orange pineapple sodas that they don't sell in Kansas, but they do in California. Cactus Cooler is the name.

But I don't only eat it. Everybody in the world has to eat. Even the people who don't celebrate Thanksgiving.

Now about Hayden. He ate vegetables off a plate.

Grandpa went to the Veteran's Day thing this weekend. Chesney sang a song, but she doesn't get to talk about it because this is my blog.

And that's the end.

Brady's blog: My big adventure

My mom wants me to tell the story of the first time I drove to the store without her and with Mykiah.

Well, it was the first time Mykiah had ever sat in the front, because she's a baby. I drove the car to Leeker's, which is like Dillons, which is like Walmart without the clothing and toys and electronics and such. Mykiah needed deodorant because Hayden ate hers and she smelt like a dead skunk that got ate by a dead cat. We also got doughnuts. Here is the story on the doughnuts, it said 69 for cake and 50 for all others so I totaled two cakes and 4 others at $3.48, which I now realize is already wrong. We also got candy stuffs.

Well we got to the checking out station and the woman priced the doughnuts at $2.49, I don't know, maybe she was just being nice. Then when we were done checking out she said,"You's to stay out of trouble now, ya hear." Well apparently everyone thinks me and Mykiah are dating. It's 106 degrees here. It's kind of funny. It started at some fair where a game vendor yelled,"hey dude win your girlfriend a prize" and it's been that way ever since.

Anyways goodbye.

This is my mom's birthday. Happy Birthday Mom!! can we go to the zoo?

Brady's blog | The zoo

It scheduled.

I posted this on Mykiah's birthday if you take the month and day Mykiah was born and convert it to a time and then post a blog at that time.

This about the zoo because my mom said to write about why I like the zoo so much. The answer to that is because it has the animals and they crawl on things and they eat things and they sleep and it's really cool, you know? I like like the jungle the best because it's like your in a jungle. It's like your Indiana Jones and you fell into a building that has a jungle inside of it. I also like the reptile house because it has a Caiman(not a crocodile) and an anaconda that is really long.

They just got tigers at out zoo but I don't like them because there's stupid signs that tell you what scat or tiger claw marks mean and I don't really care. I do like the gorilla place though because they did a great job with the scenery so that you feel like your in a jungle, but not like Indiana Jones.

Anyways, bye.

Brady's blog | The best food I ever ate

 This blog  is called the best food I ever ate.

The Best Food I've Ever Eaten

The best food I've ever ate was the cheesy rice casserole as well as the cheesy potato casserole my mother prepares(I guess it's the best foods I've ever eaten).  The preparation of either meal is about the same: You take the rice or potatoes, put  cream of something on it, cheese it, and put some meat in it (ham in the potatos though I like it better when there's not, hamburger in the rice). Maybe my mother will attach the recipe?

Tonight(on Monday) we are having potatoes with cheese but not cheesy potatoes. The difference is that Betty Crocker makes potatoes with cheese. Cheesy potatoes are made with hashbrowns.

I watched Percy Jackson this weekend, it was the worst movie I've ever seen. Even worster than twilight. My favorite movie is Back to the Future. It's 25 anniversary is today(also Monday).

THe End

I pressed the button and it didn't schedule it

He bit me. He literally bit me.(this is Hayden)

This Saturday me and my family(minus the dog, if you consider him family) are going to Branson. I don't like driving to Branson. It is a 6 hour drive and they(my family) always want to play this stupid pop lady gaga whatever stuff. They can't play it quietly either, they always have to blare it so loud that I can't even watch an episode of the Simpsons on my Ipod.

I'm done mom, I'm done. No, I only want to write one paragraph. No, can't make me. Hayden, bite her. No her, not me.

Ok, I'm going to write about my favorite vacation ever. It was in Orlando, 2007. We went for two weeks. We stayed at some hotel at the Disney World. We rode rides. We saw a space shuttle take off. Well, the only reason it wasn't Disneyland last year was because the whole time we were there I thought there was going to be an earthquake and I was going to fall into the center of the earth.

Tell her to go away or I'm deleting it all.

Mykiah is gone this week. She's at my aunt's. Chesney is the only one here so she has to be twice as annoying. I seriously haven't even noticed she was gone.

The End.

Hi. Hayden.

This blog is about geocaching(gee-o-cash-e-ng).

Geocaching is a game type activity in which people plant various 'caches' in secretive places throughout the country. You locate the cache by entering the coordinates of it into your GPS which then will lead you straight there. These caches are various in the fact that they can range in size from something as large as a lunchbox or small chest all the way down to something as small as a bolt cleverly hidden in a fence post(story later). They also often contain a wide variety  small toys of some sort as a kind of prize for finding the cache and a piece of paper or notepad for you to sign your name.

A few weeks ago I went geocaching with my gma(what Mykiah calls my grandma. By the way she was supposed to do this weeks blog over her graduation but didn't, oh well). We were able to find three. The first two were relatively easy to locate. The first one contained one of those party popper things which I 'accidentally' fired at my grandma.

The second also relatively simple. I did find a balloon from a balloon launch on National Prayer day though. It was all the way from Hutchinson, Kansas(a 60 or so mile journey).

The third cache was planted by a person whose caches we had always found hard to find. It ended up being the bolt in the fence. I was so happy  I got a picture taken with it.

My dog sat next to me he tried to eat my hand. One time my dog had a cow, his name was bossy(lord knows why), but then he ate it’s head off. Then we got another one and he ate it’s head off. Then we got a dog named updog and he did not eat it’s head off.

This weekend we went to the lake. We did not bring the dog with us, we left him at the house because if he decided he wanted to attempt to swim he would drown. I decided I wanted to go fishing. So I got a fishing line, a piece of chicken and a plastic knife, tied it to a stick, and threw it in the water. Then I stuck the stick in the beach. After a three minutes no fish had bitten at it so I just threw the stick in the water. A shark ate it.

Also this weekend I took my dog on a walk. I don’t like when my sister walks the dog. She pulls the dog and chokes him. Doesn’t she know that you’re supposed to stop and let the dog sniff every tree he wants, even if it takes an hour to walk around the block?

My dog is looking at me. I think he wants a treat.  Yes he does. He can’t have one though because he is on a new diet that I prescribed for him that allows him to only lick treats and only on e a day.

That’s all for this week but next week Mykiah’ll talk about her wax museum.-]=[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[\(that was the dog, who wants a treat)

Brady's Blog | Guest blogger x2

Hello  Everyone. Before I announce this week's guest I just want to say that I did end up going to the zoo on wednesday, my grandma took me. This week I have a guest with me, Chesney Lund, the world famous author. She's going to talk about her new book entitled the ghost at grandma's house.

I got the idea for the ghost at grandma's house from  my grandma 's house there was a picture in the basement and me and my cousins heard  a noise and we thought  it was the ghost from the picture,and i made it into a story. I entered the art,science,and literature fair for my school .It was sent to a business place that it was so unique.It was so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Below is Chesney's story for you to enjoy!!

The Ghost at Grandma’s House
by Chesney Lund

We are all stuck at Grandma’s house for a week. My parents are on vacation and so are my aunt and uncle. My dog is with us. Allie and I are sure there is something at Grandma’s. Anabella just helps us with stuff. Beth and Dylan don’t believe any thing we say because they’re older. They think we are playing a little game.

So when we got there Allie, Annabella and I were not in a hurry to go to the basement. We have to sleep down in the basement and we don’t like that. So we stayed with our grandparents in the kitchen. Everybody was in the basement, so we had to go down. We went down and sat on the couch and watched a movie. In the middle of the movie our dog started to bark at a shadow. We thought he went crazy. But then we heard voices. We ran upstairs as fast as we could. Dylan said it was just the fan but I didn’t believe him. Why would the fan make noise?

We finished the movie and ate lunch. We had chili and frito chips. It was good. We played upstairs for a while. Then went outside. Then we had dinner. We had turkey and mashed potatoes and gravy. Nobody wasn’t hungry for that!

We all ended up going to bed at 9 pm. Then we had pancakes in the morning. My Grandma and Beth went to a exercise place. So we only had Grandpa as a protector. We were so scared last night. I saw a photo of a woman crying and her daughter getting took away from her. It was so sad!! I think that noise was a ghost… and the ghost is the lady crying in the picture. So does Allie and Anna. Be we are not sure if it is true. Dylan and Beth are being rude and saying we are babies because we believe in ghosts. I think it is okay if you believe in ghosts because no one knows if they are real or not. Dylan laughs and laughs.

Anna is 3 years old. Allie is 8 years old and I’m 10 years old. Beth is 14 years old. Dylan is 15 years old. Beth, Dylan and I are brothers and sisters. Anna and Allie are sisters.

Allie is really sure there is a ghost so Dylan takes us on ghosts hunts. We write down what we see on a piece of paper and tell each other what we heard.

So we did that for a few hours or so. Then we went to the park to clear our minds. When we are done, we went home and tried to fit the pieces together: noise, shadow and pictures. We know were this used to look like when the picture people were alive. Anna is trying not to get scared when we tell her what we heard. So we tried not to make it scary for her. Anna is always nice and sweet unless she is in a pouty mood.

Allie is usually nice. I am usually nice. Beth is inbetween. Dylan is a bit of a trouble maker. So you get our family and how we act. Beth is what you call a mix between exerciser and well (straight A student) teacher’s pet. :D Dylan is an athlete. So they are gone parts of the day. Allie and I play basketball. So we play outside and play basketball a lot. Finally Beth and Dylan left to exercise and play football.

We started to think that we had to wait until they left to go on hunts. I told them to go ahead and look without me. So they went downstairs and heard crying and saw a shadow. Then I came down and we heard someone saying this. Caroline, Caroline come home. Come home. Then someone saying, Why did they have to take you from me?

We saw the picture and knew someone was talking about that. Allie and Anna went to go see who it was. A ghost flew at us and screamed “Who is that when it’s not Caroline.” We said our grandparents live here and we are visiting them. She said that she was sorry that she was not used to have people around her. She said that she has seen us before. Allie said that “If you have seen us why wouldn’t you say that then.” She is shy. So we went to her and said we would help her.

First what is your last name and what date is it? My last name is Phillips and it is 1910. How old is Caroline? Caroline is 7 years old. Okay we will help you.

We went to the library to look up Caroline Phillips. We asked the librarian where the newspapers for 1910 were. She said in the back. We started looking for Caroline and we found that she died at age 10 years old 3 years after her mom. She was so young when she died. We went home to tell her. (Ghost) When we got there we went to her and told her that her kid died e years after her and that she was just 10 years old. She said that it can’t be true because her girl was very healthy. How did you die? Were you sick? I wasn’t sick. I died of sadness, she said. How can you die of sadness? I was so sad about them stealing my kid!! That killed you? Yes are you listening to me!! I’m sorry for you I thought that you died of a disease and she got that disease.

Allie, Anna and Kelsie, I’m home! Beth and Dylan are home!! Beth and Dylan come downstairs we have someone to show you. Beth came downstairs and saw her. She screamed bloody murder and said I thought she was dead. You thought that we were lying. We are looking for anything and everything about Caroline Brittany Phillips. We already know she died in 1913 at 10 years of age. Okay, Dylan and I will help. I already know where she is. She haunts the slaughter house. Whenever I go there I see her shadow. You just need to get peace in between. But I have to haunt here and stay here. Okay but we have to find the bodies and bury them and you will rest in peace.

Let’s get started! We ran out the door and start to the slaughter house. We found the body right away and ran back to the house. We looked everywhere for Mrs. Phillips body but we didn’t find it anywhere. Then Mrs. Phillips said that her body was already buried and it was probably rotted away. So we buried Caroline’s body and they disappeared. Our parents came to pick us up a day later and we were happy the Phillips were safe.

All but the last 2 paragraphs are based on a true story. Thank you all for reading this week's blog post from both my special guest, Chesney, and me.
