I Goed Camping and Fishing and I Loved Going to the Zoo

I goed to the zoo today with my friend and his name was Griffin. We had lots of fun and they had a dog named Ozzie. It was so fun that we goed to the zoo. They came to our house today and I forgot it was Sunday. Then we took a little nap. I was worried if they were here already because their church was long or short.

I saw you Bridger, at the zoo. I'll buy you a prince crown when I'm at the store again.

I caught my first fish and it was a dinosaur fish but it's really called a dino. I know it's not a dinorsaur but really a fish. I went camping a little later ago and I love going camping. I sleeped in my tent and then I goed home.

[Dad's Note: We went to the zoo on Saturday with our friend Griffin who's my age. They came to our house for dinner today, Sunday.

Camping was last weekend in the Uintah's with a bunch of friends. The fish she caught was actually called an Albino fish.]

Are you OK at the Hostipal?

I'm sorry Bridger that you threw up blood and that you stayed asleep. You're my best friend and I didn't know that was going to happen. I know you're my best friend. I've had so much fun with you.

Are you doing ok in the hostipal? Does your throat hurt? Are your tonsils out ok? Did they pinch your throat a little?

[Dad's Note: Bridger and his family have been having some bad luck lately. You can read all about it on Bridger's blog, www.thedinosaurboy.com.

I asked Sami if she wanted to post a picture of Bridger on her blog. She chose this one of Bridger and his Dad which was taken at the hospital last week when he got his tonsils out.]

I Know How to Ride My Bike Today

Guess what I did? I rided my bike the whole time. I really didn't need any help, but I needed help getting started. But guess what? I never needed help. I got up one time and you have to get the pedal to go up and then you give a little hard push and then you're going. You can't imagine it because you're going really fast when you're pedaling.

I Went to the Library Today

I goed to my drill team. We went to the library (hey, went is the right word...I didn't say goed! Yea!) It was fun going to the library and I got a stamp on my hand and it's going to stay on forever. You wash it off with water, but it could stay on forever if you wanted it to.

I rented a movie and two books and I'm big enough now and I got my own library card. They gave it back, I thought they wouldn't but they did. I was like, "Oh, I'll never come here again."

We played games and I learned to read. We read Fox; F-O-X, fox. M for, what is it called again...I can't remember. Mouse? What is that one that's like that but doesn't have a line?

And, guess what. We played "Go Fish" and "old Maid". You have to get Old Maid but you can't because I switched them around and Mommy got all the ones that were old maid. And then Mommy was the loser and I was the winner. I won Go Fish two times. And I won Crazy Eights two times. Then I losed Old Maid. I won two games. I won all the games and then I losed Old Maid and Mommy won. And guess what? Whoever picked up the cards slowest won, and mommy was the slowest. Well, actually we were both the slowest so we both won.

Knock, knock. Who's there? Richard. Richard who? Richard I telled you a joke but it's really to Bridger but I forgot the word for whatever that dinosaurs called again. What is it called again? Oh, T-Rex. I really didn't forget. Sorry about that Bridger.

[Dad's Note: Titles shot down by Dad include: "I Went to my Scooby Doo Drill Team". I shot it down because she wrote one sentence about drill team. But she did show me all her dances tonight and I'm really sorry that she can't show you all on her blog. She's adorable.]

I'm Talking to the Whole World

I love ponies and I know you don't like ponies because they're too girly for you.

You don't usually know what my aunt and uncle look like, but that's ok because they look kind of like something, but I don't know what it's called. They look like young people that love people. They're nice and I love them. I love them and my whole life and I like to love them.

We're watching the storm and I goed to a parade. I wanted you to come but you didn't come, but my aunts and uncles came. It was fun. I was marching in the parade and doing these drill team stuff.

Bye, bye whole world. Bye, bye friends. Bye, bye Jesus.

AND we saw a circle lightning.

Our Little Camping Spot

I goed to the camping spot today and we were wondering where we should go. We're going to go camping someday. We saw a deer and my dad runned over a mouse. We saw bear footprints. I never seened bear footprints.

When we got home I was kind of sad. Griffin was so happy because he wanted to go to bed, but usually he doesn't want to go to bed.

Windy, Windy Day. Ladder Blowed Away

Last day was a windy day, I mean another day, not last day. Another day was so, so windy that it blowed away the BBQ thing and the ladder fell down and some cows blowed away and then they came back. Isn't that weird?

Mommy grabbed the cows before they blowed away, they didn't really blow away.

[Dad's Note: Sami was confused as to why I was having her look at pictures of flying cows and I couldn't figure out why she would be. It goes right with her post. Turns out that she wasn't talking about cows flying away, rather towels. She thought it was pretty funny that I got confused and insisted on leaving it the way it was with the suggestion that I explain that it was me that was confused and not her.]

My Dad's Awesome, But Silly

Daddy, I was gonna say you're making make-up-believe. I want to say a joke.

Knock knock. Who's there? Mr. Alligator. Mr. Alligator who? Mr. Alligator because he went to school with a dinosaur and then he went home and his mother was his teacher and he broke his head and then he didn't see his mother at home and then he went to school again and then he said "mama" instead of mother.

I want to tell another joke. I know you love dinosaurs, Bridger, so I wanted to tell a dinosaur joke.

Why did the dinosaur have a broken knee? because he never wanted to go to school because he broke his knee all by himself and he wanted to.

Griffin was crying and my dad made him cry more. My dad is awesome, but he's silly. When he tries to cheer people up, he's trying to make them laugh but they cry. So I feel bad because they just cry more.

Sami's Note: We did a video a long time ago. That was when I was two or three, you can call it whatever you want. And we did it to a CD that was long, long ago.

[Dad's Note: Needless to say, I'm now officially embarrassed. Thanks, Sami. I'll remember this.]

Space Aliens and Griffin's Ladybug

I like outerspace and I know you like dinosaurs and outerspace is more fun because you get to see aliens and alien monsters and space lions and everything you want to see. And it's so fun in outerspace. You can't believe it because it's just so fun.

I broke one of my slippers and I'm showing my brother right now.

I would like to go to outerspace.

This monster makes a noise. Click on this. Now click on it. Click on the "this", k daddy.




GRIFFIN: I wuv ladybugs. I wuv that one, daddy. I wuv Sami.

I Took a Picture of my Bleeding Foot

I went to a restaurant today. I ate inchalala. It was fun eating whatever those are called again and I got a bloody foot. A bloody pinky foot. My mom tripped over it and it's a hurt foot. It cut my skin. That was when my babysitter was here.

When I bonked into the wall, this skin was flyin' up. It was up. It broke off, look! Did you know my skin was up when I bonked into the wall? This part of the skin was up, it wasn't down, it was up! That's crazy, huh? It came apart.

Now it doesn't really hurt. When I was thinking about it, it hurt. But it feels like there's an ant crawling through my toe; my pinky toe. It kinda tickles. I'm trying to leave it alone, but it's just red. Whenever I go to sleep it's red. Did you know that? That's really crazy, huh?

I love Bridger, but this isn't all a love story. I just love Bridger and Bridger is my best friend, but Kat isn't. (gasp)

Bridger, I saw you at Macey's too, brother. (Ha, that's a joke!) I know you like dinosaurs so I want to tell a dinosaur joke.

Why did a T-Rex go to school? Because it was a great fan writing but it scribbled. (That's a silly joke, huh. It scribbled its letters! It writed a B like a C.)

[Dad's Note: Normally I would feel bad about posting a picture of a bloody toe (Sami insisted) when the opening sentence talks about eating "enchiladas" at a restaurant, but the restaurant we went to tonight was horrible. The food wasn't so bad, but the service was awful! At this point you're dying to know which restaurant you should no longer patronize...and I'm dying to tell!

La Frontera in Tooele! First and last time we'll ever go there.

We've been to the La Frontera in West Valley before and liked it. Amazing what a little service will do for your impression of a restaurant. Anyway, now I'm stilling my daughter's thunder.

Her toe injury didn't happen at the restaurant, but at home while she was being babysat.]

I Went to Grandma's and it was So Fun

I went to Grandma's house and we were having a party. I had a fun day last day. I love to go to my Grandma's. No kids came.

My nails are growing and now I got an owie on my thumb. My right thumb isn't growing so I bited it off. But the nail was sticking up, so I bited it and it hurt.

I know how to spell no. N-O, no. That's short. I saw someone draw "no", so I was just like, N-O, no. Oh, I got it! So I just shouted it out loud in my heart.

P.S. I have a joke.

Knock, knock. Who's there? Mr. Keys. Mr. Keys who? I have sliver keys!

Bridger, that was a joke!

[Dad's Note: "last day" = yesterday, which makes perfect sense. I don't know why we all don't say last day. We say last week, not yesterweek.]

Bears are Scary and Deers are Nice

I went to the east canyon today and it was so fun. We saw a baby deer and a mommy deer and they were so cute. I didn't see the mommy deer but I saw the baby deer and it was looking for its mom.

Another day I'm going camping.

One time my mom was by a bear outside her tent. And outside her tent was one mama bear and a dada bear and its cubs. The bear was outside looking for a tent to look inside and it was pretty spooky to me. My mom was by a lake.

We came home and now I'm doing my thing. That's all.

[Dad's Note: We did go up a canyon for a picnic tonight, but it was called Settlement Canyon in Tooele, not East Canyon. She says East Canyon because her Grandma and Grandpa have a time-share up there that we go to every year.

The story about Sami's mom and the bear is not made up. We were in the Tetons camping with friends (before Sami was born) and a mama bear and her cubs (no papa bear) crossed Heather when she was standing by the lake.]

Sami Lee Slack's Poster - Exercise

I love to listen to music. I listen to music for now on. I'm listening to music already, but now it's over, but it's starting again.

I had a wonderful time at girls team drill team. I love it. It's fun and we're having a parade. I practice stuff at drill team. We move our arms up and down and it's like exercise.

I love birds. I got a bird stamp today, I mean a rooster stamp. I got it from drill team girl team.

Because I didn't blog because I slept for a little bit and I didn't want to blog. That's all I want to say.

[Dad's Note: "Poster" = post, as in blog post.]

Me and Griffin's Post and My Church Post

I loved church today. I was kinda moving around a lot. Now I'm at home and church was a wonderful time. I'm in my mom's bed making a blog.

I go to church because Jesus wants me to. I like to do that and I would never stop going to church and I like to go to church really much. I love to go to church. I will go to church another day and be really quiet.

Happy Father's Day, Clint. [Is Clint your father?] Happy Uncle Day? Is he an uncle? What is he? I'm just meaning happy father work day. I really mean that you're supposed to write happy work day because work is off.

I love Bridger's writing because I crack up. My daddy just read it to me now.

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!

[When asked if Griffin would like to say anything:]

Griffin: Yea! Ummm... (Burp) Joseph! [What else?] Mommy. [What else?] Ummm...Sami! [Anything else?] Ummm....you! [Meaning Daddy.]

[Dad's Note: I had the opportunity to see that Sami was "moving around a lot" in primary today because I had to fill in as pianist. She didn't even know I was behind the piano until half way through. It was funny when she realized; you could just see the gears turning in her head, thinking back to the things I might be disappointed with her for.]

I Would Like to See Mermaids Because They Are So Fun (I Know That Already)

I love mermaids. I wish I saw a real one.

Griffin is a naughty boy today. I know how to spell Griffin. I don't know the letters.

Ok, and I love to see mermaids and I'd like to see one. When I get a mermaid dress I will be so excited. My voice is running out. I wish I could see a mermaid every day.

I love motorcycles.

I wish I saw the voice of little mermaid, wouldn't that be cool if I did?

[Dad's Note: Griffin (2 years old) went out front without telling anyone, which is why Sami says he was a naughty boy today.]

My Big Girl Haircut

We went to see these creature fish and so you had to dive under water with a diving glass. You can't really see me.

Now, I'm home making my blog and I like to make my blog with my Dad. And daddy always plays his computer everyday. I love when he does stuff that I love him to do. I love him and he's the best dad I ever had and I don't ever want to trade him for any other dad.

Oh, and we got some dinner.

P.S. (What does PS mean?) I love to do stuff with my mom and my brother. I was just going to sneeze, so write "Ah-chew" Ah-chew starts with "A".

Oh, I played outside. Then we did this. I like to chew on my bracelet because I want it to be pretty. It's getting really old. Oh, "oh" starts with "o".

My hair is too short because my mom cut it this short. And I love to put my bracelet on and I didn't want a haircut today, but my mom said she wanted a haircut for me today. My mom and dad say it looks pretty and cute.

[Dad's Note: The "creature place" was a place out in Grantsville called SeaBase. They have tropical fish in it and it's a place to scuba dive and snorkel. We were out for a drive tonight and I wanted to see where it was, so we drove by it. It was actually closed and I doubt Sami would be able to see anything even if it wasn't closed. So the first paragraph is just one of her stories.

Another story that she told was about how she "didn't want a haircut," because she actually did want a haircut. She does think it's too short, however, and that's the truth! I love it though.]

My Little Brother is Kinda Crazy, But I Love Him the Way He Is

First I want to say, I love Griffin and he played with me in the back yard. I love him, but he's kind of naughty. I love him with all my heart and he's my own little brother and nobody can take him from my sweet, sweet arms. And no one can take him from his brain and his heart. He's my little brother that I love. And I love to play outside with him, but sometimes I say no, but sometimes I say yes. But on Sunday I can't really go outside. But, when it's Monday and Tuesday and Wednesdays my Dad lets me eat (he always let me eat) but sometimes when he's taking care of me he doesn't feed me a lot because he only plays his guitar and he plays the piano.

[Dad's Note: Sometimes Sami tells stories, like the part about how I don't feed her a lot. We just finished eating dinner. Tonights post was actually one long, big, gigantic, run-on sentence. I forced the commmas and periods but still couldn't manage a new paragraph out of it. Sami is a cutie and she really does love her brother Griffin.]

Me and Destiny are Polly Pockets

Me and Destiny played princess and we played and we listened to Princess and the pauper. I love her and I love to play with her. We played Barbies together and then we played Polly Pocket. I love to play Polly Pocket with Destiny and Jaylee.

Polly Pockets are dollies. You might lose them because they're so small that you couldn't see them. But, if you drop them on the grass, you could see them. But if you can't find them, they might be lost because your brother took them.

Me and Destiny painted our nails together. Then she had to leave in a minute. Then she left. Then I played with Logan, Miles and Kat. You could call her kitten, I mean Katiana, or Kat. Kat-teee-ana, Kat!

That's all I want to say.

[Dad's Note: Destiny is Sami's friend from Primary. Jaylee is Sami's cousin mentioned in a previous post. Kat is an older friend (7) that live a couple houses down. Polly Pockets, as I learned for the first time tonight, are little plastic dolls.]

My Toy Lizard

I love to play with my toy lizard and I love to put it on my knee. I love to swing it around with it's tail, and stretch it's head out. It can stretch out, just like Bridger's dinosaur stretchy. you can make it do whatever you want it to do.


It CAN'T do whatever I want it to, it can just do whatever I WANT it to.

I can put it on the ground and get it wet and then it sticks. If it gets dirty it won't stick anymore. And I love to love it because it's my favorite toy, because Griffin took it before. I love to play with it with my dolls and I love to play with it in my doll house. I love to jiggle it around and smoosh it in my hand so Griffin can't see it. I love to pretend it's a yo-yo; a lizard yo-yo!

Move Away Bunny, Because My Dad is Coming Through the Road

You can't run over rabbits, because if you do run over bunny rabbits we won't have any food for bunnies. And we won't be able to eat the bunnies. That's why you can't run over bunnies.

Jesus made the bunnies because Grandma Lee loves bunnies. She loves princesses, too. (Bridger doesn't know who Grandma Lee is, huh?)

What if those yellow lines were bunnies and you were running over them? (Then I was just staring out the window because I was looking at the white lines.)

Ah, my ankles hurt. Maybe they hurt because I need to go potty. But I can't bring these toys in the potty, huh? I have gas!

[Dad's Note: We went to a little known lake south of Tooele tonight for Family Home Evening and the rabbits were running around in droves! I was joking that they needed to kill some and I commented, "I doubt they'd mind if I hit a few of these bunnies." At that point Sami proceeded to chew me out for joking about killing the rabbits. That's what she chose to blog about tonight.]
