happy easter!

here is the story of easter:

God died on a cross. Then he came back to life, and so that is why we celebrate Easter!

i made sure to remind mom of the Easter story in the van on the way to church, in case she had forgotten.

i am good at finding eggs and helping my sister find eggs!
red peeps are the best.
you get presents at Easter. i had forgotten! the easter beagle brings them.
also, my dad is pretty silly.

we have been busy!

we decided to do another world tour this spring break, like last year. dad was supposed to go to kansas, but instead, he stayed home and threw up and went to the bathroom a lot. mom and elisabeth and i drove around and saw everybody, and we were already gone by the time we found out dad was so sick. we were sad for him, but he said it was maybe better that we were not there to catch it.

we went to see my grandpa, and we celebrated his birthday, even though it was a month late. he didn't mind. we gave him jelly beans, but elisabeth wanted to eat them all.

then we went to see my cousins and my aunt keri. we played board games and gamecube games, and we even jumped on the trampoline when it was not raining. and we all slept in the same room! it was pretty fun.

the weekend before spring break, we went to see grandma and pappy. we played with balloons, and we also went to the park to film the Starship Millerprise III. i will let you know when it hits theaters! if you will notice from this last picture, my hair is kinda shaggy. i got a haircut in between the grandma and pappy weekend and the world tour weekend. i do not really like haircuts, but i guess they are necessary.

more pictures from the zoo!

Dr. Goat

so, lasterday we went to bella's birthday party, at the zoo. bella is one, and she is a baby like my sister.

we saw lots and lots of different animals. we even saw a giraffe, which i had really hoped but not expected to see, because mom and dad said they did not think there was a giraffe at the drive through zoo. they were wrong! there were also monkeys and birds, which were way way too loud, and also tigers and a lion and buffaloes and beefaloes and water buffaloes and lemurs and chickens and an alligator and lots of emos. dad said they are really emus, but they might be emo emus. i do not really get it.

anyway! here is a little goat. there were lots of goats, but this one was my favorite. dad asked if i wanted to give him a name, and so i named him Dr. Goat. by the time mom brought the camera over, he was not too keen on being petted anymore.

later, before my five hour nap (walking around at the zoo a lot makes you really tired), my dad told me a bunty story. in a bunty story, there is a dog at Growing God's Kingdom (my school), who lives in a closet behind the science area. if a kid is nice to him and brings him something to eat, he will grant the kid one wish. dad lets me make the wish. lasterday, i wished for a goat i could ride on, who had a thousand brothers. so, there was a mighty sound, and ms. paula looked out the window and saw a mighty sea of goats rushing towards the school, and she thought the school was going to get flattened. but really it was just dr. goat and his brothers, and they ran up to the school and stopped, and dr. goat said, "come on sam; let's go for a ride!" and we did.
