My Best Friend!

2011-06-02T13:13:00.002-04:00

At school I wrote a story about my best friend.

First I had to start with a some brain storming to get an idea for my story.

Once I had all the key points in place this is the AWESOME story I wrote.

Love you, Dad!

Carrots for a nose and blueberries for his eyes and mouth. I used one of my Mom's scarfs to give him some color!

Mom said it didn't snow in TEXAS! She was wrong :)

New Background!

2009-12-18T20:05:00.002-05:00

Mom made me a new background. Woo Hoo! She said I was being picking. Ever so often I'd come in the room and check on her progress. And if I didn't like something she was adding, I made her take it off. After a while she made me stay out of the room til she was finished. (giggles)
Hey it's my blog page that's all I have to say!

Basketball is Back!

2009-12-12T23:27:00.004-05:00

It's time to start basketball practice again. I'm playing in the Upward league again this year. We started practices last week. My games will start in January.
So far Mom said my skills are improving.

The bad part is I have to take my glasses off to play so they don't break and so I don't get hurt. I hope I can still see the basket???

I'll let ya'll know when my games start and how I improve through the season. Keep checking back for updates.

Note from La Sha

2009-11-21T22:28:00.003-05:00

I'm sorry I haven't been posting new updates about Peyton like I usually do. I'm going to try to get back in the habit of posting regularly. One reason is I use my scanner to scan a lot of his work and pictures and I don't have that hooked up here since I don't have the space.
On the other hand Monster Peyton has truly been living up to his nickname lately and I have some interesting stories to tell. Most of them I'll tell from Peyton's point of view but a few I may have to tell from mine.

Ski-Bobbin'

2009-09-01T08:47:00.002-04:00

On our way from Ohio to Texas we stopped in Oklahoma at my Mom's friend's house. I got to meet her son, Holden. We became quick friends.

We went out on the lake, and went Ski-bobbin'. It was so much fun.

I can't wait to go back and play with Holden again.

INdoors Men

2009-07-31T22:11:00.005-04:00

Nathan and I decided to take a camping trip. First Nathan and I had Dinner in the TENT. Hot Dogs and Cheetos.Did I mention that we're camping in my Living Room.

Mom got the TENT all set up for us.
We made sure we had all the necessities. Stuffed animals, Ninja Turtles action figures, Power Rangers, a couple a Soldiers, and of course fresh batteries for the XBOX controllers.
We played the XBOX all night from the safety of the TENT.

All that playing wore us out.
We didn't even end up in the same spots we started in.
With the sun brought Cereal and Cartoon Network!

I LOVE CAMPING!

Miniture Golfing

2009-07-31T21:37:00.003-04:00

Mom and I went Miniture Golfing with my Friends Noah and Jordan.
I had a hard time keeping up with my strokes, so I just made up numbers. hehe!

Man, We should of rented Carts!
So close!
Boy, am I going to miss Noah when I move to Texas!

Now I Can Get a Car!

2009-07-19T19:32:00.002-04:00

My Dad told me I had to learn to ride a bike without training wheels if I wanted to get a car when I'm older. Mission accomplished.
I've been practicing a little all summer. But I was having trouble getting started and I couldn't turn without falling over.

Those are no longer problems. Although I do have a new one. When I'm riding too fast and I think I'm going to run into something instead of using my pedal brakes, I panic and put my feet down to try and stop me. This results in me running into whatever it was I thought I was going to hit. I ran into Mom's car twice and the garage door 3 times.
With more practice I'll keep getting better. Maybe for my birthday I can get a bigger bike!

Spending Time with My BFF!

2009-07-19T19:19:00.002-04:00

Mom took Nathan and I to see Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. We got our popcorn and pops and we were ready to go.
The movie wasn't even started yet and Nathan and I were stuffing our faces. YUM!

WE LOVE THE MOVIES!

Nathan got to spend the night. That was the best part of our day, except he's kind of a BED HOG!
That's OK though, I'm sure going to miss Nathan when I move to Texas.

Wheeler Time

2009-07-09T18:54:00.002-04:00

I got to spend the week with my Grandma. She taught me how to drive a 4-wheeler.

Although Grandma said I never watch where I'm going! (She said I get that from my Papa!)

My favorite part is racing someone else, but I need to learn to slow down to turn.

Someday I hope to have a Wheeler of my own!

Baseball Summer 2009

2009-07-09T18:50:00.002-04:00

This is my First year playing baseball. I really like it. My batting is getting better and better each week. My fielding I could use a little help with. I can't wait to play again next year!

I had my first game!

2009-05-11T11:06:00.002-04:00

I hit 2 balls!I even got to run the bases!

It was awesome! I can't wait for my next game.

GO CAVS!

2009-05-08T17:18:00.003-04:00

I'm so excited the Cavs are doing so good in the NBA Playoffs. I told my Mom if we move to Texas I'm still going to "VOTE" for The Indians, The Browns, The Cavs and "DaBron" James, and of course, Notre Dame GO IRISH! So watch out TEXAS I'm no fair weather fan!

My March Journal

by Peyton

We've been writing in Journals everyday at school. We mostly write about the weather or what we are doing that day. Sometime we draw in them. Here's an exsert from my March Journal.

"March 2
Happy March
It is 17 (degrees) out"

School Work!

2009-04-13T14:48:00.003-04:00

It's been a while since I've posted any of my school work. So I thought I'd choose a few things and show you what I've been up too at school.

I like playing my video games!

This is a picture I had to explain to my Mom several times and she still doesn't seem to understand. This is a picture of a "Mower" and the thing in his hand is what his used to mow the grass with. I'm not sure why my Mom can't grasp this idea?

I made this picture in Art class we learned to make swirls for the sheep's wool.

I made this picture in Art class too. We used scissors to cut the grass and I also decided it was time I needed a hair cut and cut my bangs on the same day. It wasn't that bad, nothing my stylist couldn't fix with a trim!

School's almost out and I can't wait til summer! Woo Hoo!

A Dad with a Cool Job has it's Perks!

2009-03-22T19:33:00.002-04:00

My Dad works at the Railroad. So as a perk sometimes I get to go to the rail yard and look at the trains. I even got to go inside this Engine and sit in the Engineer's seat. It was awesome.
I look really small next to the train cars. When we go there they teach us about Railroad Safety.

I sure am lucky, there's a lot of little boys who would love the chance to see the Trains like I do.

Swoosh! Better Late Than Never!

2009-03-11T21:08:00.005-04:00

Well my UPWARDS Basketball season is over. I'm so sad. I had a really awesome time and learned a lot about basketball.

I learned how to catch passes and rebounds!

I learned some defensive moves like swatting the ball away from the other team and

blocking shots and passes.

And in my last game of the season I finally made my first basket! My Mom was in the crowd going crazy. I was so happy, I practiced shooting a lot the day before and it paid off.

The best part about basketball is making new friends. This is my friend Noah!

My Mom even made new friends! This is Noah's little brother Jordan.

Thanks to Noah's Mom, Faith for all my awesome Basketball pictures since my Mom's camera wouldn't work in the church.

Homework

2009-02-23T17:19:00.003-05:00

I had to draw a picture of one of my favorite TV shows. I chose Star Wars. In my picture Luke Skywalker is fighting Darth Vader with light sabers. Yoda, CP3O, and R2D2 are there for back-up. Mom says my drawings are getting really good!

My 6th Birthday Party!

2009-02-17T14:46:00.001-05:00

My Valentines Box

2009-02-17T14:17:00.002-05:00

We had to make a Valentines Box for school so all our classmates could put our cards in them.
I told Mom I didn't want My box to look girly so I drew pictures of a rocket and a race car and used a stencil to draw a dinosaur.

We did use Hearts to write my name but I think my box looks really cool! What do you think?

I got New Glasses!

2009-02-17T14:05:00.004-05:00

Dr. Jennie said I needed a stronger Rx in my glasses, so I got to get a whole new pair. Mom said this is a good idea so now I have a back up pair in case I have another accident and need repairs. Mom picked out a pair of frames but we fought for a while over what color to choose. I wanted BLACK cause it's my favorite and Mom wanted shiny BROWN cause she said it made my eyes look pretty. What 6 year old boy cares about their eyes looking pretty? Not me. In the end she won cause she's MOM!

So what do ya think?

Happy 6th Birthday

2009-02-11T10:15:00.001-05:00

We can't believe our little boy is 6. Mom and Dad love you Monster!

Happy Birthday!

Basketball Update!

2009-02-08T15:03:00.002-05:00

Dude, Am I loving Basketball! It's so fun.
I'm actually starting to rebound and catch passes without being afraid of the ball.

I'm slowing learning more and more each week. Mom & Dad say I'm getting better.

Mom calls this my "Money Shot!" I didn't make the basket, but a few weeks ago I was too afraid to even shot it, so she said I'm showing more confidence.

Sometimes I fall down, but after a close inspection of my scraped knees I'm off to play more Ball!

GO RED!

2009-02-06T23:34:00.002-05:00

I wore RED today to support my Mom and her fight against having a "Sad" Heart!

(note from La Sha: Peyton doesn't call it Heart Disease. He says I have a "Sad" Heart. So that's why I posted it like that. The Irony is Peyton makes my broken Heart very HAPPY! It's not sad at all!)

I got an early Birthday Gift!

2009-01-27T12:53:00.001-05:00

BasketBall Games

2009-01-24T22:53:00.004-05:00

My basketball games have finally started. I'm so excited. At the beginning of each game we get to run out of a tunnel lined with cheerleaders to really cool music and an announcer calls out our names. And the crowd goes wild. ( or at least my Mom does )

The first week we were green. I did really good on defense. So good that my Mom told me that I'm not suppose to play defense on my own team mates. OOPS!

Today we were the White team. I pretty much figured out that each week we switch colors. My Mom and coaches said I played 100% better this week than last week. I could tell, I got a lot more high fives. I really like basketball, the more I play the more confident I get.

I'm the tallest kid on my team. So my Dad said I should get alot of rebounds, but I'm a little afraid of the ball hitting me. So me and Mom and Dad have been practicing in our dining room this week. We moved the dining room table up against the wall and made ourselves a pretend basketball court. I think it's helping cause I caught all my passes this week and made a few rebounds with my eyes open!

We even have Cheerleaders! They entertain our parents when we have halftime!

(note from La Sha: sorry the picture quality is so bad. My camera doesn't take good pics in this gym! :(

2009-01-10T13:40:00.004-05:00

Well this morning my Mom and I had a Wii date. I was suppose to teach her how to play Mario Kart. I got my Wii for Christmas and she still hasn't played it yet. So she promised me today she would. So after breakfast we sat down to play. Let me just tell you, SHE'S HORRIBLE! She couldn't stay on the track at all! After getting all frustrated and wanting to quit I talked her into playing my Nerf N-Strike game. Where we get to use real nerf guns with the Wii "RE-TROLERS" ( that's what I call them!) in them to shoot at the TV. You have to target practice and shoot robots and do puzzles. My Mom really liked this game!

Probably because she could actually beat her 5 year at a video game! But I still had fun with her, she will only play a few video games with me (LEGO Indiana Jones, & LEGO Star Wars) and it's nice that we have a new game to enjoy together.

I'll make a gamer out of her if it's the last thing I do!

Up & Coming NBA Star!

2009-01-07T14:06:00.002-05:00

Well I stared Basketball Practice this week. I'll make sure my Mom keeps all ya'll updated with photos and stories on my progress. My program last til March, so I'm sure there's lots to come. I think My first game is next week, wish me luck my dribbling skills aren't the best! Stay tuned!

Being Grateful!

2009-01-01T11:31:00.004-05:00

For school one of my homework assignments is to write a thank you note to someone who gave me a gift. So my Mom asked me which gift I got that I would like to write a thank you note for. I asked her who got me Battleship? So here's my thank you note for the person who got me Battleship!

I even drew a jet on the page cause Nathan and I like jets!

They made me do it!

2008-12-31T12:42:00.002-05:00

I held Layla! But I sure didn't want to. They made me do it. I protested and threw a fit but in the end the three of them (Mom, Momo, and Aunt Reai) are bigger than I am.

Not really sure what my big problem was. I didn't know if I was going to drop her or if she was going to bite me or poop on me. All I knew was I didn't want to hold that baby or any baby for that matter. My best friends Nathan and Danah have baby brother and sisters and I never want to hold or touch those babies either. So it's nothing personal Layla! I must not be a baby person yet! Maybe someday, until then hold your own babies and stop asking me if I want to do it, cause the answer is "NO!"

My Visit with Santa!

2008-12-07T16:56:00.003-05:00

I went to see Santa a couple of weekends ago, and I told him what I want for Christmas: a Nintendo Wii, and Sorry Sliders! We talked for a while and of course my Mom made me get my picture taken with him, ( she's kind of picture crazy I think! )

But the best part about the visit was Santa had two of his Reindeer there with him!
They were really Big, and pretty!
It was the first time I ever saw a reindeer in real life it was so AWESOME!

Ready & Waiting!

2008-11-30T10:54:00.002-05:00

OK Santa I'm ready!
This weekend we put up our tree. We have SO many ornaments. My Mom has some pretty ones and I have some fun ones too. I have a Buzz Lightyear, Jack Sparrow, Mickey Mouse, and a bunch more. So I put up as many as I could. But after a while I gave up. I thought the tree looked pretty good, I put all the ornaments right in the front so Santa can see them. The weird part was when I left the room my Mom moved all ornament to different places. (She's so WEIRD!)
I also got to make a gingerbread house with my cousins Madison and Sophia and My Aunt Nita this weekend. It looked AWESOME and tasted Yummy!

So Santa if you need to get a head start, my tree is up and ready! And if you need gift ideas for me just click my Wish List over there on the left side on my page!

Getting Ready for Santa!

Trip to the Museum!

2008-11-16T12:29:00.003-05:00

Well I don't know if I've told you this yet, but I have the coolest Mom. Sometimes her and my best friend Nathan's mom drive us a long way and we go to The Children's Museum. I know what you're thinking "museums YUK!", but this museum is so much fun. It's one of mine and Nathan's favorite places to go. And usually on the way home we get to stop at Chuck E. Cheese, since there isn't one around us. So all in all is a fun filled day.

Here are some pictures of Nathan and I exploring and using our imaginations at the museum.

The Children's Museum!

2008-11-16T12:28:00.001-05:00

Just Like my Dad!

2008-11-08T13:08:00.004-05:00

Well, everybody I got my first shaving kit this weekend!Now I can shave just like my Dad does.
My Mom said I did a pretty good job for my first time.
(She did have to help me little bit though!)
After a while I got the hang of it.

When I was done my Mom said my face was as smooth as a babies bottom I told her "That's disgusting!"

Educated Pirate!

2008-11-03T18:04:00.004-05:00

I bet most of didn't know I have a degree! That's right a diploma and everything.

Here it is...

That's right it's signed by non other than Captain Jack Sparrow.

He was my Professor at the Academy!

He taught me to impress the on looking ladies with my sword handling,

how to use my sword to defend myself against other pirates,

And of course how to sing and dance!

I'm only an Apprentice Pirate. I thought about going back for my Masters, but my Mom said there's not a lot of work out there for pirates right now so I'm going to stay in Elementary School and keep my options open.

A kids busiest week!

2008-10-31T09:40:00.005-04:00

Halloween can be a kids busiest week. Starting last Saturday we have been doing non-stop Halloween activities.
Saturday we (we is me, my Mom, my best friend Nathan, his baby sister Lilli and his mom Nikki) started our day by going to Meijers (for you southerns that's a store up here like Wal-mart) they have huge balloons and big goodies bags for trick or treaters. Then we went to Boarders, where we did crafts and games. I made a pumpkin from a painted rock and a ghost book mark. We also got Hot cider and more goodies there!
Our next stop was Sams Club (which by the way is my horse's name, Sams, just like the store!) It was a mad house (that what my Mom called it, any way) We got so much candy! We got to Trick or Treat around the whole store.
Then Sunday I dressed up again and our town had Trick or Treating. But Mom said that I do enough Trick or Treating everywhere else that I don't need to go door to door. So I got to stay home and past out candy to everyone who came to my house. I was really good at it. I told everybody "Happy Halloween" really load! They all smiled at me.
On Wednesday Nathan and his gang and me and my Mom went to Cedar Point (it's like Six Flags, but they shut the park down just for trick or treating). We walked around the Trick or Treating course once and took a break. We had some hot chocolate and donuts and then we did it AGAIN!
Now Thursday came around and our city is having Parade. We get dressed up AGAIN, go to the parade catch candy, then walk through The Train Museum and Trick or Treat. That's right more Trick or Treating!

Now today is actually Halloween and I have no plans THANK GOODNESS! I'M EXHAUSTED!

Trick or Treating with Your Best Friend!

2008-10-31T09:37:00.001-04:00

I see you Mom!

2008-10-29T08:47:00.003-04:00

So at school we are learning to write sentences. Today our sentence is "I see you Mom." Then we have to draw a picture to go with our sentence. Here's the picture I drew of my Mom.

When I showed my Mom she had a really strange smile on her face. Like she was about to burst out laughing. She said "Wow, Peyton is this what you think Mommy looks like?" I told her "Yep, I drew earrings like you always wear, and you have big teeth, and pretty eyebrows from that wax stuff!" That's when she really did start laughing. But I think it was a HAPPY laugh!

My First School Pictures!

2008-10-23T16:59:00.003-04:00

OK don't open your eyes til I tell you to.

Of course my Mom will be managing my site for me & reading me all the SUPER COOL comments you leave me. So please be an active part of me reaching out to my long distance family & friends.

School Work!

2008-10-18T23:11:00.007-04:00

On the first day of school we were told to draw a picture of ourselves. I see the resemblance, don't you?

This is a school bus I made, look how good I'm writing my name!

On the day we were learning the letter "O" we drew and wrote the word octopus. I'm getting better at writing whole words.

Now we're learning to write sentences. My mom had to ask what my picture was of, but I'm sure all of you can tell. The blue part is the tent, the green part is a tree and of course the orange part is a campfire. DUH MOM!

Well fall is here and we are learning about seasons. All the leaves are changing colors on the tress. Don't worry I told my Mom the leaves won't really turn blue, only orange, yellow, red. I wonder what fall would look like if I weren't color blind?

Yeah it's almost Halloween, I can't wait to go Trick or Treating. I'm going to be a Hut-Hut Man (a.k.a. Marine). I sewed this pumpkin in school this last week, Mom let me put it on the fridge. It was really fun!

Well that's enough school work for now. I'm sure I'll be making a lot of fun stuff for the holidays to post on here.
