More catching up... Part 2

     Ok, this is Dawson here. A couple of months ago, I made a post about catching up on everything that has been going on recently. But since then it's gotten way crazier, so I figured I would just post on it before it gets to be a post that is way too long. If I wait any longer it will be too long. SO here is what is happening. 

      Ok, so we were in quarantine for months starting on March 16th due to the coronavirus. So we had to do school from home. I loved seeing my family more, but I see them a lot and will admit that I really wanted to be at school. We had to do all of our school through Google Classroom. My classmates kept on spamming the chat, and sometimes it would make it hard to find my assignment. We were in quarantine for 2-3 months during school before summer came. 

     Just before summer started, we went on vacation which made me miss the last week or so of school. We had some fun. Here are some pics. (I forgot to mention where we were going! -lol- It was Yuba!)

That was a fun trip. Papa B came with us, and so did Hailee, Drea, Carson, Becca, and Annie. It was a lot of fun. Guess what? Something else that happened during quarantine... we got 2 kittens! They are brother and sister. The boy is Stanlee (The one with completely white fur) And the girl is Bindi (The one with some white fur along with gray and a little light brown)

 

      The kittens are the cutest! I love them, and so does everyone else. We even set up an Instagram for the kitties called @Bindi.and.Stanlee. Go follow us for cat pics!

       Anyway, back to some more updates about this year. Eventually, school started back up again. However, this was going to be a lot different for many reasons. For one, we are wearing masks in school because of the coronavirus. It's still better than online school though. Another reason is because that are neighborhood was getting so filled up that we had to build another school. Me and Ashlynn were placed in the new school. Some of our friends had to stay at our old school, which was sad, but for the most part, everyone that are best friends are still with us. Also, my mom was the P.E. teacher at Oakcrest, but now that we're at the new school my mom is the P.E. teacher there instead. 

      Over quarantine, I started watching the Jazz games more, and then I got this new basketball video game called NBA2K20. I play it a lot and now I know so many basketball stats/players. I love the Jazz! (John Stockton is the most legendary player in the history of the game, just an FYI. He's so underrated, don't leave a comment about this until you have watched footage) I even mowed lawns to buy the next part of the video game I got, which was NBA2K21. It cost 100$! I had to mow 9 or 10 lawns. And I asked my mom for a dollar 26 times! Lol, just kidding. If you get the reference you get the reference.

     That's all for now, I'll write more later. I'm tired. 😴

Horse Riding Lessons

Last month Ashlynn started taking horse riding lessons. Papa and Nana bought her a month's worth of lessons for Christmas and we decided to keep them going. She loves it and has been doing so good! Here are some pictures and videos.

4th of July Quarantine Style

This 4th of July was definitely different than any other 4th of July we've had! We stayed at home all day long which is normal on any other day but not the 4th! We still managed to have fun, tho!

The day before the 4th Ashlynn and her friend Avery did each other's nails red, white, and blue so they'd be ready for the holiday! It took them over an hour to finish, I was impressed with their dedication! Both of their backs were hurting by the time they were finished since they were sitting on the floor like this for over an hour.

I'm saving this picture to show their future boyfriends.... 😂😂 I love these goofy girls!!

I didn't take any pictures of breakfast but I made the kids pancakes with strawberries, blueberries, and whipped cream. A red, white, and blue breakfast! 

Dave had to work so he was gone most the day but after dinner we had ice cream cones so dad could get in on some holiday fun!

After I took this picture I had to take a couple pictures of them standing back to back. Ash is growing like a weed!!! When they stood back to back Ash didn't seem quite as tall as the picture on the porch but they're both definitely growing!!

After Dave went to bed the kids talked me into letting them do some sparklers. 

And we noticed that we could see fireworks from our backyard. We sat out there and watched for a little while until Dawson touched a bee on the swing (eek!) and Ash decided that the fireworks were too loud for her so we went inside for awhile.
We planned to come back out a little later because the moon was so BRIGHT and there was going to be a partial eclipse because the sun was directly opposite the moon and the earth's shadow was going to make the moon a little dimmer. Look at how bright it was!!!

So we came back out to see if we could see the Earth's shadow on the moon at the time that it was supposed to happen but we didn't notice anything. Daws thought the moon was too bright to look at without sunglasses so he ran inside to get some.

And that sums up our 4th of July! It definitely wasn't "normal" but I was with my family and that's all that matters to me!! 💗

We have a LOT of catching up to do. (Part One)

This actually happened a month or two ago (probably three), but I figured I'd post about it now. Boondocks is an arcade, and I got a 75 dollar gift card for it for christmas. So I decided to take my friends, Quinton and Branson, to Boondocks! Here are are some pics! I can't believe they convinced me to go on dark ride! Can you tell which one is me?? 😵😱

Alright, this post is going to jump everywhere, so put on your seatbelts.
The day before boondocks we went to disney on ice. It was really fun and we loved the show!

That was SUPER fun! Alright, speed things up to April 1st.

APRIL FOOLS!
