My dog's name

Ok, so one day for Christmas, my aunt asked me if I could feed her 2 dogs and while I went down and fed the dogs, and then when I came back up I saw this tiny thing in a bed and I said, "Is that real??" and I came and petted it and I was like, "You gotta be kidding me". And so, I got this dog and I tried to pick it up and I couldn't b/c she was all stuffed down in her bedding. so I took her out on a swing that my gramma had and every time she was sticking her head between my back and I tried to pet her but she wouldn't let me. And then when she got used to us a little more, we tried to name her. So we thought of James, Polka, spots, we thought of princess, we thought of lady, we thought of daisy and a few other things and then finally my uncle suggested the name roxie. and i thought for a while and i thought and i said "just maybe". so thats how my dog got her name.

Mommy's Note:
That is not how it happened. The puppy was scared to death and Robby took her out to the swing and sat still and quiet with her for (what seemed like??) hours. While he was out there making friends, we suggested he think of a name. Uncle Bruce had some suggestions, and someone gave Robby a notepad and pencil to write down things he thought of while he was swinging. After everyone left him alone for a while, he started making notes. When I went to check on his progress a while later, he had a list of names of people in his family and next to each name, he had changed a letter or two to make a new name. Next to his own name, was "Roxxy". We decided that since Daddy told me when Robby was born that I couldn't write "Robbie" since it was "the girl way to spell it" that we would spell Roxxy with an "ie" since it was a girl. And THAT is how his dog got her name. :D

Robby's turn again:
NO! That is NOT how it happened. I remember Uncle Bruce was out watering the flowers and he said, "How about Roxie".

Mommy: You should call Aunt Darlene and ask her if she remembers how it happened.
Robby: Ok! Where is the phone.
Aunt Darlene: Bruce was out suggesting vicious butch names like Spike and Rocky. Robby heard Roxie (nobody is sure if it was before or after the list) and Bruce made the comment that Roxie sounded like the girl version of Robby.

Thailand

My sister went away on a four month trip (can you guess by the title??). She went to Thailand and stayed there for four months. She said it was really awesome, but I don't believe her, so I said, "Well if I should believe you, shouldn't I go there?" So I asked my mom if I could go to Thailand. And she said, "When you are 51". And so I said, "Whatever". And when my sister got home she had all these pictures of weird kind of plants, and weird kinds of buildings and a few other things. *sigh* Oh yeah, and when she got back - while she was back she gave me a present of a GIIIANT scorpion. I mean I am not kidding you - that thing was 70 feet tall. Oh wait, maybe I was kidding you... :) And that is my story about my sister going to Thailand. Beebye and I will never talk to you again. YAY!

Old Blog

So, my mom was showing me her stuff for work and I saw on her computer that she had a blog that I made a long time ago. So I asked, "Could I see my blog mommy" and she said just a minute and tried to show me a whole bunch of different stuff. And THEEEN (I forgot what I was gonna say-oh yeah) she finally let me see my stinky blog. And now I just read it and it was very very very very very very very funny. And my mom thought so too. And now I've looked at my new blog and my mom wants me to talk about it *grumpy voice*. Buh bye.

Sisters

I have two sisters. One is really annoying. One I like a lot. Brittney is always fighting and being mean and doing weird stuff. I like her when she is nice. My other sister lives in California and she came to visit. When I walked in the door, I had my dog, Roxie in my hands and when I saw her, my eyes just got wider and I just stood there, staring at my sister. Then I dropped the leash and "fainted". I was about an inch from the ground, and I put my hands right in front of my belly to stop myself from getting hurt when I fell on the floor. And then everyone started laughing. And then I told my two sisters and my mom that I fell off a five foot tree. I got about two scrapes -- one on my elbow and one on the back of my right leg. We walked over to Damon's to have some dinner. I ordered these Nachos and I didn't know how big they were, so I asked my sister, Meagan, if she wanted to share some nachos, so she said, "Sure!" When we were ordering the waitress told us the plate of nachos was about a foot and a half long and about a foot wide. And they were delicious! They had red and black chips! I asked if the chips tasted like plain chips, and she said, "Yes". And that is the story of my sisters *grumbly voice* Bye.

Finding Out Things That Are the Worst

So I found this BB gun and I went to the store to see if there was anything wrong with it, or if its broken. And the guy told me there is no air pump and the handle is split open. We were just trying to find out what condition it is in.

When I found it, I was just walking around -- I wanted to explore the basement and I remembered that Gramma said Poppy's gun is somewhere around. And I looked and pulled something out to look at it. I saw this little wooden handle and saw this little rifle or something. And I was yelling, "I found it! I found it!" And I came in with this gun in my hands and she was like, "Whoa". And I said, "I think it is a BB gun." She said, "I think you're right!" Then I found out that the gun was pretty much broken -- that the handle was broken so I couldn't cock it how I was supposed to, so I had to cock it a different way -- well, I had to try.

My mom hates BB guns (insert mad face, or a face that is not so good). So that's my story about finding out things that are the worst.

Friends

I have friends -- sometimes they are mean, sometimes they are nice, sometimes they are in-between, sometimes they are fun, sometimes they are boring. And I have at least...now, like two friends in the neighborhood -- one that used to live in the neighborhood, but he is now moved. His name is Darius. One of my other friends that lives in this neighborhood, but she is gonna move soon, her name is Jeanna. And my other friend is named, Marvin. Marvin doesn't usually come over much, but Jeanna will sometimes come over, but she is getting ready to move to Florida. Darius is now usually the only friend I have. Sometimes you wish you had thousands of friends, sometimes you wish you had no friends, sometimes you wish you were never born. Sometimes you wish you were born with a brother or sister that is your age. And that's what I think about friends. Bye.

Fun With My Friend

Fun with my Friend

So we were going to go get free Slurpies at 7-11 because it is the 7th month and it was the 11th day, so I called that 7-11 Day, so they gave out free little Slurpies in their 7.11 oz cups. I got a mix: mountain dew, blue raspberry rush and wild cherry, and it was good. And then we got Lunchables so we could have our lunch.

We went to Sotterley. We had fun, we traveled around. We found this cool feather, which a gift shop girl says it might be a red-winged blackbird. We went down to the pond and I had my adventure passport.

We went to different places. We went to St. Mary’s County Welcome Center. We went to Sotterley Plantation, and we went to Cecil’s Mill Historic District. And we went to the Old Leonardtown Armory – that’s the places we went to. We just have a few more places to go to before we get a free ice cream from Brusters! And then after we got all our passport stamps, when everything was shutting down, my friend’s mom invited me and my mom to come have dinner with them. We had grilled cheese with ham.

We were playing a lot and my friend’s dad, brought out the go-kart. Everybody went on, my friend and a little sister went on and I asked if I could go on, and he said I had to ask my mom. So I asked my mom and she said I could. And she asked who was out there, and I said, “Dan”, my friend’s dad. So I went back out and said, “I can, I can!”, but the thing was loud so I had to get closer. He told me where the gas and brakes were and I knew how to steer – its not like a horse! When you turn it right it goes right. I had a test drive around the yard and mom came out to watch and move the car, and I chased mom around, and then went back into the field – they used to have a horse, but now its just a field. And we kept taking turns and when I wasn’t in the go-kart, me and all the other kids that were under 10 were out jumping on the trampoline. We played games on the trampoline and all that.

I don’t know the rest – I have to think…
