I have a little cousin named Olivia. She is seven years old, and she’s the smartest person I know. 

I was once over at her house and of course she has to show me her room. I walk in and there is a ton of stuff animals on her bed, you almost could see the bed. Hehe. I said, “hey girl, how do you sleep? You got so many teddy bears there’s no room for you.” You know what she said? “But Darcy, you gotta have Teddem bears. They make all the sad stuff go away.”

Wow. Now is that smart or what? Why is it you ask? Read more… »

Hi guys,

Got me a cold so had to stay inside all weekend, but that’s okay. I got a ton of books to read and we are only on number four of my dvd reviews. Next up we got a golf movie!!!! Weeeee. Hehe

Matt Damon and Charlize Theron star in this highly acclaimed tale of a local hero with a promising future, whose hopes are shattered on the battlefields of war. The disillusioned young man turns his back on the world until a fateful visit from a mysterious stranger turns his life around. ”

hi hi guys,
as you can see by the title of this, I was going to do a review of the animated movie, Wall e. But then I thought wow everyone has surely seen it. And if not, you really should! So dad and I decided to do something different. We are going to tell you the three people that inspired the movies. The silent film stars, Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, and Buster Keaton. All of who dad really likes, and he knows a lot about.
