Max Dancing at Brother's Orchestra Banquet.

Last Orchestra Concert

Max had his last Orchestra Concert tonight. It was wonderful to watch him on the stage playing his viola.

On the way to the concert, after each stop light he kept saying."I'm suppose to be there in four minutes and you are making me late Mom." 
As I looked at the clock on the dashboard. "I'm sorry Max."
He leans forward to make sure I can hear what he is saying. "Mom is it your fault I'm late?"
I looked back at him seated behind me. "I guess you can put the blame on me."
Max scoots back in his seat.   "Mom, I am sorry, it's your fault mom."

When we arrived he ran to the library to pick up his voila.
His orchestra teacher gave out awards and it touched me that she awarded Max with a certificate.

Max was so thrilled to get a certificate of music. He couldn't stop looking at it. He carried the certificate all night long.  I'm so proud of him.

It was a wonderful concert.

Bearing My Testimony

I beared my testimony at church yesterday. I said "I am going to share with you that when I have a bad sprit it feels like I have a nail in my foot and when I do have a good spirit it feels good.  Jesus hugs to you and your family. Please give your mother a hug and love from me. I am thankful for animals, food, water, people."

My Funny Hero

Once upon a time there was a snowman. When I first saw him it was a freezing cold night. I watched him for hours before I fell asleep in my igloo. In morning when I work up he was gone! I decided to look for the snowman in the forest. After about 1 hour I found him standing in the snow waiting for someone when I saw him standing there I decided to name him Intheyfuente. Intheyfuente means the bluffest man in the world! He is strong. He can turn into animals. He can go under ice water. He is invincible with special powers he went on a rampage. He threw millions of snowballs at my friends were hurt and they went home. Finally, I went though the forest to go home too, Mom and Dad met me at home.

Math

Math is my favorite subject. I know what to do in multiplication, division, place value and other types.  It is my talent. I  have 2 bothers and 2 sisters. I love my family and love legos too.  I think we are related to Scout Master Bell,  because my mother's grandmother has the same maiden name of Bell.

Happy Birthday Max! WE LOVE YOU.

Max turned 12 last weekend. What a wonderful day he had. Family came and it was a complete success.

Last Monday 3-19-2012 Max sat at the kitchen table and talked as though he knew the answer for everything. I was preparing dinner and he kept me entertained with his awesome conversation and I totally enjoyed it.

He said. "Mom I know why I was born, because you needed me." My heart swelled from his sweet gentle words.


MELT DOWN.
Max had wonderful time on our walk around the neighborhood with his two sisters and of course I came. Max's sister Miriam brought her dog Boss. We enjoyed watching Pennie chase the ducks and Boss resting in the grass. But for some reason Max had a melt down shortly after I took a picture of him with our dog Pennie.

Max had the melt down because he was upset he wasn't able to spend time with his sister Melissa last Friday because he went on the scout camp out.

He said. "Mom you don't understand, I wasn't told about going to Melissa house." He was so upset and I knew he needed to practice is viola. After talking for fifteen minutes I told him if he practices he can watch 30 minutes of "Lord of the Rings."

His frown turns quickly to a smile as he lifted his head. "Mom that helps me not to be upset to know I can watch "Lord of the Rings."



BATH MAT.
Max was screaming as though the house was on fire. I ran upstairs to find him standing in the shower with a look of despair. "Mom I can't get out without the bath mats."

I felt a breeze of cool, fresh air enter the room and mist started to disappear between us. "Max they are not dry yet, so you will have to get out without them. I will place a towel down for you to walk on."

"Mom okay, but please remember I need a bath mat."

                      The moment he got home from his trip. He wanted a shower!
