Sledding at Mountain Dell

Saturday I went sledding with my Dad, Miles, Andersons, and Brenda and Trevor. It took a long time to get to Mountain Dell, so we ate lunch on the way and watched "Horton hears a who", that we got for Christmas. When we finally got there I got out and there was this little tiny mountain and I went down it on my sled, and it was okay fun. Then we went to a really really really big mountain. I was able to climb to the top by myself, I even went faster than my dad and Miles. The first time I went down I said, "Weeeeeeeeeee!" and it was a long ride. I met a boy named James when I was climbing up the hill, almost to the top. He said, "Hello, what is your name?" I said, "My name is Tyson. I'm having fun sledding! What is your name?" We went down the mountain and I didn't see him again. After sledding all day Brenda came and told my dad that her car was stuck. We helped her get her car unstuck, then we went back to sledding! My dad and I and Miles went down together. Then he tried to get us boys to flip over. Miles flipped over the second time he tried. I stayed warm because I was wearing my snow pants, jacket, boots, gloves, a Holman Orthodontics hat, and some cool blue goggles my dad bought for me. I love going sledding. On Saturday I'm going snowmobiling!

Christmas activities

A few days ago we decorated the Christmas tree. One of my favorite ornaments is a tree with a picture in the middle of me! My other favorites are ones that play Christmas music. We have some Christmas window stickers. We have two gingerbread men. Me and my brother, Miles, we like to make the gingerbread men talk and go inside the candy house. We have a sticker candy house too. I'm going to tell a joke. What did the gingerbread house say to the gingerbread men? Here is what he said. Why do you have a chimney and I don't? How come? Okay, no reason.


At my school we had a Christmas program for all the parents. We did the poem "I took a lick of my peppermint stick" and many Christmas songs. I liked it when we sang to our principle, Mrs. Anderson. Some kids wore green bow ties and some wore red. Our teacher had made them out of paper and glitter. I like singing because it's fun. In these pictures I'm the one in the blue shirt.

Favorite games

In September my Mom made us marshmallow shooters. We took them to the cabin and shot mini-marshmallows all over the place. We like it when we play them like trumpets, it makes really loud sounds!



My favorite games are Monopoly and Dino Wars. I like them because I get to play with my mommy. I love playing them so much that I play almost every day.
I usually win on all the games, but my mom usually wins chess. That's another game that I like too. I'm excited to get the big Star Wars Monopoly for Christmas. I'm excited to play it. I learn subtraction and you use the money to subtract and get money from the bank. Monopolies are when someone buys all of the same thing, then when someone lands on it, you get more money, double!
Dino War. I like comparing numbers and seeing which one is higher. Sometimes when I can't get my mom or brother to play with me, I play by myself. I usually win.
I like soccer too. My team usually wins, sometimes. I like being goalie, because I'm good. Only a couple of times I've missed the ball. I like playing with my team, the green lightning bolts.



When we play sticker powers we pretend that they can shoot and do other stuff. Miles, Kayla, and I put stickers on our arms and run around and push on them like buttons. We think it's fun.
I like playing at my friends houses. I like it when we invite others over too. It's really fun. I like it when we play games when I go to my friends houses.

Christmas thoughts

I do not believe in Santa. I do not one bit. It is your parents. I believe in Jesus. I feel it in my body. It is a special feeling. It feels like the spirit is touching you. This is valuable because Jesus is more powerful that Santa Clause. Jesus can do anything; he can heal people, and he loves kids, like me. And he is real. I love Jesus. I haven't seen him, but I know him through prayers.

I can't sleep

I can't sleep. I keep itching all over my body.

 Grandpa is here at our house to take the jet skis home. Too bad that they are leaving, Miles and I love, love love love love to play on them. We pretend that we are on the water and that we are crashing into house boats, and other jet skis too. This is like the second time Grandpa has been to our house. I've been to his house a lot. Sometimes when I can't sleep I ask Miles what he does when can't sleep. He says different things, but mostly he doesn't say anything because he can't hear me. He falls asleep after one second. Miles is funny. I'm funny too. 

Guess what I saw?

One day my family and I were at the church. Mom and Dad told me to go get something that was left in the car. I stayed in the car for a while, then when I was done I came out and went into the church. I started looking for my family and I went in to the Relief Society room and saw a dead woman in a box. Other people were in there and they said, "Hello". I said "Hello" back. The box was brown with a yellow stripe in the middle. I got up on my tippy toes and I peeked into the box. She had white skin and was very very very old. Older than Grandma Hicks. Her eyes were shut, but I didn't touch her. She had a pillow under her head so she was like this. I knew she was dead because she was closing her eyes. What would happen if I peeled up her eyes like this? Her hair was gray, and her skin was white and thin and wrinkly. You could even see through it. When I saw the dead woman I felt the Holy Ghost. I felt sad, too. Then I left and found my mom. I didn't tell anyone for about four weeks! When we die, our spirit comes out of our bodies and it goes up to Heavenly Father. Our bodies just lay on the ground. When people see that you're dead, they put you in a box and call everyone. They have a party, then they put you in a box, then in the ground. A headstone goes over the body. I'm not afraid to see dead people, are you? The end.

Welcome to my blog

Hello! This is my blog. I hope you like it. This is Tyson's blog. I'm going to write some funny things that I've done, and some of my experiences. I am six years old and am the oldest kid in my family. I have one brother and two sisters. I like to play games with my mom, I love my mom, and I like to play with my dad. Learning is my favorite activity. Lately we have been doing experiments, me and my dad, like learning about salt and how it dissolves in water. I'm going to be putting stories and pictures in my blog, so if you ever want to send me a message you can.
