The Amazing…

Today I found out that I am related to…. Pocahontas! Her real name is Princess Amonute Mataoka Pocahontas Powhatan. I am really excited.  She is my 12^th Great grandmother. I am also related to a few authors, Elvis Presly, Walt Disney (we should get a discount to Disneyland.),  and George Washington, and so on. I am grateful for all of my great grandmas and other people in my family. Genealogy is fun!

This is from my mom's tree. So she is my 12th Great Grandma.

Antiques

At my sister Charlotte’s blessing I got a lot of stuff. One of my favorite things to do is go antiquing with my mom in St. George. My Grandpa Dennis knows how much I like to antiques and writing and drawing, so he got me an old looking journal. It looks like wood.

My Grandma Bean got me a starfish, and really old Flintstone dolls (50 years old).

 

I also got a glass lady, a 10 dollar check, and a chick cookie. I really like antiques!

Cinderella

Saturday we went to Cinderella. It was a good movie. It had a really good lesson. The lesson was Be Kind, have Courage, and believe in a little bit of Magic. I loved Cinderella’s dress and glass slippers. I also liked the golden pumpkin carrige.

Since we saw Cinderella my mom did a little lesson on it. She made us these little poster things. After we did some activities. It was a fun family home evening. I love it!

 

Wonder

 

I read Wonder. It was a really good book. It was a good “not judging others” book. I liked Wonder. I think everyone should read it.

My Sister Charlotte

I have a new baby sister. Her name is Charlotte and she is two months old. I think it is a blessing to have her. I really like having a baby sister.

Yesterday was my sister’s baby blessing. I felt really spiritual. Afterwards we went to the park to have treats and play. It was really fun and windy.

Why I love rocks

I wrote this a year ago for my mom for a website she writes on.

I was doing laundry one day and a rock fell out of my eight year old daughter’s pocket. When she got home from school I asked her why she always has rocks all over. Why she love collecting so many rocks. Her answer amazed and inspired me. Brooklynn has many goals; one is to be a writer. I asked her to write down her answer, because it needed to be heard. The following is what she wrote.

“I love to collect rocks, because they are all different. Sometimes they are weird looking, but that does not mean something is wrong with them. When they are cracked open they are different from the outside and beautiful. My favorite rock is from St. George. It was gray and ugly. I turned it over and it had pretty crystals. Just like people we shouldn’t judge on the outside. Look at everyone’s beautiful and unique inside.”

 

I am so proud of my tender hearted girl. If we could all look at people, like she looks at rocks. The world would be a better place.

Poems

I really want to share this poem I made up. It just popped into my mind.

Some have hearts of gold and some have silver or bronze.

But no matter what kind of heart you have,

Heavenly Father still loves you.

LOVE!

I really like writing poems.
