Ocean w/ Shyloh & Jeff

Last Monday Shyloh and Jeff bought Shelbie and I to the Ocean and Aquarium. It was lots of fun. Even the drive there was fun. On our way up Shyloh let Shelbie and I watch a movie on her ipod. We watched Pirates Of the Caribbean 2. Then when we got there we went to the Aquarium first. We spent about 2 hours. Then we went to the beach that Shyloh and Jeff got engaged at and had lunch there. After lunch Shyloh and Jeff went on a walk. Soon after they went on there walk Shelbie went walking around taking pictures of the water and rocks. Why they were gone I fed some of our fried chicken (the chicken we were supposed save for Mama) to some hungry Seagulls (I only fed them 2 pieces of chicken). Then I left to find Shelbie, we climbed on the rocks and played in water. When we came back to the picnic blanket the seagulls were eating our chicken out of the bucket! We scared them off and covered the chicken. Then we left and spent 30 minutes trying to find the beach that we go to. When we got there we played in the waves and napped. It was really fun!

Our atmosphere

The first layer around the earth is the troposhere. The next layer is the stratosphere. Inside that layer is the ozone layer. The last layer is the mesosphere.

NEW YEARS EVE

On New Years eve we had a party. We made turtles and pretzels with kisses and m-n-m's on it. We made fudge and peanut butter balls. And the Kee's came over. It was so fun. We watched the ball fall too.

Shannens Journal writing 12/19: writing as if he was one of the shepards

One night I was going to bed and I fell to sleep and then I woke up from a big light. And a Angel appeared to me and it said to me. Today in the town of David a savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." And then he left.

Shayden's journal writing on 12/17/08

In a town of Bethlehem, in a stable layed a baby named Jesus. A little bit away there were two shepherds. They were watching the sheep one night then all of a sudden some angels appeared and said do not be afraid I bring you great news. In a town of Bethlehem lays a baby named Jesus he will save you from your sins. Then the angel went away. Lets go see the baby said the shepherds. So they went and worshiped the baby. THE END
