Sledding with Grammy

Sledding with Grammy

Me and my grammy thought we should go sledding. When we got to the hill we had to fight to get in the parking lot because it was covered with snow. Then we went up the hill. It was so big we we couldn’t get up the hill. When we got to the top we were looking for a path to go down the hill. Then we found a spot, so, we went down the hill but my grammy jumped off the hill. Then I fell off the sled and went right off in to the snow, then we went back up the hill and we got to the top again before I told my grammy to go on her belly and we went down the hill again but my grammy’s face went into the snow. And when my grammy’s face when into the snow she said “we have to go home” and I said “I do not wan’t to go home right now.” But I went anyway so I got right back to the car when she got the car started, but we could not get away but we did.

I was eating ice cream and sitting at a picnic table at Lake Shore-Lunch. We came in our boat from our camp. When we were heading back to camp, Ella, my sister, was sitting in the front of the bout and making my dad hit waves. So did I. Whenever my dad hit a wave, my sister yelled “weee, this is fun!” When we got back to our camp, my cousins, Austin, Carter, Collin, Justin, Taylor, Ella, and me decided to go swimming. We swam out to our launch pad, a floating trampoline. What we do on the launch pas is push each other off. I came up behind Taylor when he was gong to do a dive and I pushed him off. Hat night we had a campfire. “Can I have two s’mores?” I asked. My dad answered “After I had two s’mores.” I went over to put my crayfish trap in the water. “Make sure to tie it tightly.” Justin Said. “Fourteen!” I said to my cousin Carter. I just caught 14 crayfish in my trap, it was early in the morning and only me and Carter were outside.

My Fractured Foot

My story starts on my 2nd day at wow camp. When I got to wow camp we did 45 minutes juggling. I juggled 3 scarfs. The colors of my scarfs were blue, green, and red. Then I went over to the balls and worked on getting up by myself. The steps to getting on the ball by yourself are: first put one knee on the ball and leave the other foot on the ground. Second: put the other knee on the ball, hint, leave the other knee on the ball. Third: put one foot on the ball then the other, hint, do it fast or you will fall off. Now, back to my story. After I practiced it was time for lunch I had a subway sandwich with a bag of popcorn on the side. After lunch I went to do ball again. When I got up on the ball I fell off and hit my foot! It hurt so bad it felt like someone dropped a huge boulder on my foot!

Snowboarding

The Lamar’s, our neighbors, have a grandson named Alex. Whenever he visits we play. Once, we went to Foreside Hill to snowboard down the hill. When we went there, me, Alex, and Mrs. Lamar talked in the car. When we got there, we had to trudge through the snow to get to the hill. Then we finally got to the hill, Alex sat down on a tree stump. He than said “I’m...so...tired.” With every pause he took a deep breath in and out. I said “Come on! You ready?!” He said “Not...yet.” When we started going down, I was so excited. “Wooooo!” I said as I went down the hill. “Yeah!” Then I wiped out. It was awesome! Alex’s snowboard went slower and farther than mine, so he didn’t wipe out as much. “You done?” I said. “No.” Said Alex. Then we continued. I went down on my back, stomach, and side. Sometimes, I even lost the board! It was so fun! Until we left. On the way back, we talked. We could hear the snowboards banging together in the back. When we got back, we unloaded the snowboards and I told mom about my day.

I went to Irving and I got a milkshake. It tasted like cookies and cream. I went home after that. My daddy and my uncle Ken were spreading sand on the driveway. Lexi was there too, she had her snow pants on. I went home and got my snow pants on too. We went sledding for awhile and then we went up to see my daddy. My daddy asked me and Lexi if we wanted a ride on the ATV. We said yes. We got on and we went fast up and down the driveway. Lexi was yelling “go faster, go faster, go faster”! I had my shake in my mouth, I thought I was going to choke myself to death so I said “Daddy stop the ATV!” So I could set it down on the ground. Then we had to go home. When I got home, mom said “How was AVTing?’ I said “It was fun.” But I have to go to bed, it was tiring and very cold too. I like AVTing.

I got a dog. His name was Kegan. I think he was black and white, but when I was younger I was on my swing, swinging and Kegan would lay down under my swing and lick my feet. We had so much fun but our yard was too small for him, so we had to give him away. I was extremely sad. I said “do we really have to get rid of him?” My mom said “yes, our yard is too small for him, he can’t run all over our yard like...big.” I said “oh, I am going to miss him a lot.” My mom said “I know, I am going to miss him too.” And now that he is gone I think at PetCo I think I see him because there wait, there are two reasons I think I see him. Number one: there are dogs in PetCo. Number two: there are black and white dogs in PetCo.

Me and my mom were driving to Sea-dog's, I was only one year old. It was night so it was dark. We saw a car on the wrong side of the rode. “Bang!” The car hit us. The glass came back and hit me and my mom. My mom wasn’t buckled so she came up and hit the steering wheel. A bunch of police and fire trucks and ambulances came to help us. They said my mom wasn’t breathing. They tried and tried to make her breath but she didn’t. I was okay, they took me to the hospital. I needed stitches in my lip and head. I still have the scars from the accident.

Arizona

Me and my dad, my sister and my mom were in Arizona. My dad got four phoenix Suns Basketball Game tickets. I am so lucky that we can go. We got to the stadium early and I bought a sweatshirt with my own money. My sister got a Steve Nash t-shirt. My parents didn’t need one they said. I got a picture with the cheerleaders. It was my moms idea. In Arizona it is two hours behind so it was 11:00 o’clock in Arizona and 1:00 in Maine. I stayed up until 1:00 in Maine. It was nice to spend time with my family and sit together. My sister, Anna, and my dad sat down low. Me and my mom sat at the top of the stadium. My dad doesn’t like high stuff so he sat down low. It was nerve racking sitting up high. The best part was when they won. It was an upset. They were vs the Atlanta Hawks. The Sun’s weren’t that good but they won 105 to 97. That was the first time I went to a Phoenix Sun’s Game.

The Piano

One spring afternoon I was walking by the play-set saying “I want to play piano.” That night I asked my dad if I could take piano. He said that I could take them! One problem, I had to practice on a keyboard piano. A few days later my great uncle died. You probably think I was sad. No. The day my uncles started cleaning the house so they could rent it. They found a piano! The best part was my grandmother gave it to me. I was really happy that I got an upright piano to practice on instead of a keyboard. On the first day of my piano I was kinda nervous but my dad was there to support. I did a lot of stuff like finger builder and lots more. At the end of every lesson you get a sticker for a job well done. At first I had a little bit of trouble with practicing but when my dad helped I could do it on my own. I could play!

My Dog Jax

My Dog Jax

by Emma

Last week it was cold and dark. I went to see Santa at Cringleville. When I went in Santa called my name. I walked over to him, Mrs. Claus had a puppy. When Santa asked if I wanted the puppy I said, “yes!” When Mrs. Claus gave me the puppy I was so excited. Santa also told me about the puppy. He said that the puppy was a Britney Spaniel and it was one year old and it was homeless too. The dogs name was Jax. He is a good dog. My Mom and me walk Jax every day. He plays tug-o-war with me and I also feed him his food which is called Taste of the Wild. He really likes it. He has to eat 1 ½ cups and 2 times a day. He loves to eat treats all the time. I love him very much. He likes bones with peanut butter in it. I try and walk him every time I can. He plays fetch with me all the time. We like to play tug-o-war too. I let him win every time we play. This year Santa brought Jax a stocking, in the stocking was a toy squirrel because Jax is a hunting dog so he tends to chase after birds and squirrels. Then my Mom said that we were going on a vacation in Florida with her friend Lisa and her 5 year old daughter Abigail. I said I would miss Jax but I would still go. So on the day we had to leave I gave Jax the biggest hug and said goodbye. A week passed and I came back and Jax was so happy to see me and my Mom. He gave us hundreds of kisses.

My Mom

My mom’s name is Georgia Moore Cumuch. She has a short name like my name is. Iseabella Rae Datavs. My mom is 28 years old. She is very young. When she had me she was: 19 years old. When I was born, my dad was 23 years old! I love my mom so much she is nice. She moved to North Carolina but in twenty days or less my mom and my step dad are moving to Maine but there are 5 or 6 rooms. Downstairs rooms: Bella Iseabella’s room, Mike’s room, T.V. room. Upstairs rooms: Georgia and Matthew’s room, living room, kitchen, art studio room. My room is big and it has a loft too. When my mom moved away to North Carolina more than a year ago, I was really sad. When I found out that my mom was moving back to Maine I was so excited! I am so excited because I will get to see her more often. My mom flew back to North Carolina today. She has to go back to get her belongings but she will return.

My Family

I love my Mom sooooooooooo much!! I feel bad that she is sick. I am sad because I miss her but I am happy to have her for a mom! Sometimes she can play with me-but like all moms, they have to wash the dishes. “Yipee.” She is so awesome! I wish she could volunteer. I wonder what she is up to right now. She is very pretty. My mom lives in an apartment at Whispering Pines. She lives with our cat Ollie O-l-l-i-e. He is cute. She also lives with our fish, Swimmy and he has a lot of energy. I live… well, my mom and dad are divorced, so I live with both. My dad lives in a a brown house. We have a betafish, we used to have two, one for daddy and one for me. Mine died. Now daddy’s is ours. Mine lived in my room and the other one lives in the bathroom. Now, time to talk about my grampa. He is great, big, and fun and once he gave me a diet coke! My grampa has a very, very cute puppy whose name is Harley. He is named after the Harley Davidson motorcycles. He is cute, like Ollie. Harley even has his own doggy door! My grampa is pretty cool. Now time for my uncle-wait a second I bet I know what you are thinking! What about my grama!? Well, she died. O.K. Like I said, on to my uncle. He broke his arm. He is still cool though. He has a Wii with Wii fit, Ultimate Alliance Two, and that’s all I can remember. He has no pets. He lives in a house or an apartment. (I really do not know.) Well it is in Windham. Now, my aunt lives with my uncle, and she is very pretty, funny and comfy like my mom. Now, my great grandmother. (I do not know that much about her, but I will tell you three things.) She lives in a mobile home, she lost her hearing, and she lives in Mexico, Maine. I have been there. On to my cousins. No pets. I really don’t know much at all about one thing. I am gonna tell you that some are a lot older some are younger and some are a lot younger. And some are older. Now my other uncle he lives with most of my cousins. He is my dad’s brother. I call him Uncle Seth. Nana is right… And now!

She lives with my Uncle Seth. Once she came with my other grampa about one week early for my 8^th birthday. My other grampa is pretty much the same. Well… I KNOW I have more family! Good bye!

Game Cube

One day I had to bring my game cube and some games to game stop. I was getting Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions. It was $50.00. We had $25.00. Dad brought new Super Mario Bros wii and got the other $25.00. Then I got the game. Then we went to Target when my mom came back she had two sticker sheets and the Spiderman Shattered Dimensions strategy guide. I was so happy I was a little disappointed I didn’t get Ben 10 unltramate alien cosmic destruction. Though. When we got home, I played the game and got to level 5. I was a little disappointed I couldn’t get passed level 3. I staled on level 4. Levels 1, 2, 4, and 5 were so easy. I was so happy when I finally got past level 3. The last boss battle of the game was a little hard. I couldn’t land a single hit on him. And I couldn’t find the strategy guide, so that didn’t help. When I finally beat the game, I didn’t know which level to replay.

Sleep Over

My friend Natalie invited me to a sleep over at her mom's house. We ate speedy, then I met her pug. That didn't go so well. We played dress up then it started to rain very hard. We heard thunder. It was very scary. We couldn't go outside any more. We played dress up again and I asked if we could have a fashion show. Natalie said yes so I picked a dress. Natalie yelled "That's my dress." We yelled at each other and I yelled "But I found it!" Natalie said "O.K.!" We got ready and got her mom and dad to watch us. I tripped over my dress "Ouch!" I yelled. "What?" yelled Natalie. "I didn't know that the dress was too long." I said.

Ice Cream

One day my family was coming back from Vermont and we stopped in Ogunquit to see my mom and dad's friends from New York. They were in Ogunquit on vacation. We had dinner with them. After dinner we where going out for ice cream. We walked to the ice cream shop, it was a long walk. At the ice cream shop you could make your own ice cream sundae. After I picked one flavor they were all out of that flavor. After a couple of minutes I choose another flavor. The ice cream sundaes were two scoops. Then my parents decided that me and my sister could only have one scoop. So we could only have one topping. To make it worse I had to sit alone or I could squeeze into a table. I decided to squeeze into the table it made me a little bit happier.

Horse Show

Saturday I got to spend the night at my aunt's house. She is the cool aunt. She owns my cousins horse. She took us to a fun horse show. My friend Lauren was going too because she was in the show with her new horse Katy. This is her third or fourth time being in a horse show. We got to see barrel racing and single pole bending. I could not be in the horse show this year but I hope to do it next year.

My goal is to be the world's most famous barrel racer. I might have to take smaller steps in between on the way. There was a girl at the horse show that was like the fastest girl, she has a horse named Michele. I think that is a pretty name for a horse. I want to grow up to be just like her.

At the horse show I was happy, but I was also sad because my friend Brin came out of the shoot and was sad that she did not get first place. She got 3rd place instead.She did have good sportsmanship though. Lauren got to be Courtney's groom, and I was Brin's groom. Brin was happy at the end of the day because she got to canter on a horse named Cody Greg. This year my Aunt Lynn worked in the cook shack with Nancy. Nancy acts like a nanny to us. It was a fun day at the horse show.

Sometimes when my horse acts up I want to quit, but I know that if I want to be the world's most famous barrel racer I can't quit. My first time racing I might not get first place. I might get 2nd or 3rd, or even 4th, who know's! But I know that I can't give up because some day my dream I will be the world's most famous barrel racer.

Baby Sister

When I got my first baby sister I said "Do I have to watch her?" and my mom said "yes dear!" My stepdad said "Do you want your weekly allowance?", and my little sister Abby started to cry. On the day my mom came home I said " I missed you because you were gone." I asked both my mom and my step dad "Did you hear me?", but they had started to kiss and I said "Yuck!" After that I go to hold my little sister. I said " She feels so delicate." My mom said "That's because she is."

My baby sister is now one and a half years old. Her birthday was a blast! For her cake we got cupcakes. For Halloween Abby is going to be a dog. Last year Abby was a frog. I want ot be a werewolf or a vampire. I was a clown last year.

I love my little sister she is the best listening sister ever! Sometimes she takes my stuff when I am not looking. I feel happy and sad that I have to watch her. After awhile Abby cries and cries and cries. I get so angry I storm off to my bedroom. Abby is a pain in the butt sometimes, but I love my little sister anyway, I know she just wants everything I have.

Shadow

My dog Shadow died last weekend. He was a black lab with a white belly and black fur.I was so sad I cried a lot. I also felt bad for my dad because he had to bury Shadow all by himself. He buried Shadow in my Grampa's yard. I have three pictures of Shadow in my room. He always listened and he was a good dog. I liked that Shadow never jumped up and tried to steal our food. One thing that I did not like about Shadow was his gas, he had very stinky gas. We had to leave the room when he did it, my dad would yell "Shadow you stink!" My mom would leave the room and get her OXY CLEAN to spray. My mom told me a story about when they went to my grandparents because they had a dog named Buddy. Buddy and Shadow had a rope with two hoops at the ends. They wrestled with it. I felt a little better after the story. I even laughed a little. Then she told me another story about how her and Shadow were the only ones home, My dad was at his work. Shadow had to go out so my mom took him out. Shadow was way up in the front. Then he ran back of my mom and into the house. But it turned out that it was just my dad coming home from work. I laughed so hard I could not stop. Then I had to go to bed. I still thought about Shadow because he was a good dog. I love Shadow a whole lot and I wish he was here right now.

Green Bugs

I have a green bug, with six legs, and small slit eyes. His eyes are green too! He has an enormous head with tiny antenaes that stand straight up. His name is Jack. He always sleeps in my lunch box. He is annoying and jumpy. He always likes to bother me by making "aaahhh" noises. Every day he doesn't care if I pull his head, he likes me. He jumps on my desk and sometimes he sleeps in my backpack or sleeps in my front pocket.It sure is fun having a friend like him.

Rosie

One day I had just woken up. "My family birthday party is today" I shouted. Although I hadn't had my 5th birthday yet, but it was Easter and we were going to have my party two days earlier. I was so excited to see my family, who wouldn't be? Not to mention my grandparents house which is in the capital of Maine, Augusta.

I got dressed right off the bat. I was so excited to see my family and my grandparents, I ran down the stairs like a cheetah! I could no wait to go. We finally got in the car and off we went. When we got there I saw my aunt's and uncles, and a lot of other family members. I was so excited for my party which was going to start soon. Once everyone was there we started with lunch and then we did presents. I had just finished opening my last present when I heard something so I looked up. A tall looking woman walked in carrying a puppy. "Is that for me?" I asked. "Yes." I was shocked! I automatically went running towards the black lab puppy and patted her on the head and hopped in the chair. My Pepe asked me what I wanted to name her. I already knew so I said "Rosie." I think some people thought it was a little fast, but I didn't. I knew it was the right name for her. My Mom and Dad had to go to L.L. Bean's to get food and a toy for Rosie because she only came with a collar and a leash. When it was time to leave the party I really didn't care which car I took as long as my dog was there. When we got in the car I was surprised to see her jumping around for so long a time. I expected her to climb on my lap and fall asleep but she didn't. When we got home I played with Rosie for a long time.
