The Best Book I Have Ever Read

The Hunger Games

The best book I have ever read would probably have to be The Hunger Games. It is a really long book but there is a lot of action going on in it. Just the reality of it all is scary. I think Gale and Katniss are for real like the perfect couple. I don't really like Peeta that much. He kind of ruins the whole love side of it for Gale which makes me mad. I read the book in about 3 days and went and seen the movie a day later. Wow! Such a good plot for everything. My mom had no idea what the story was about, so when the movie started playing she had the most regretful look on her face. She didn't know what was coming to her that was for sure. I thought the ending for the first book was horrible because it left you hanging. That's why I had to read the second book as soon as possible. You need to read the book. Now.

HIIII

This is a test.

Being an Aunt

How to combine baby names

I'm very excited to become an aunt soon. My sister is having a bot named Brayden Alexander. He is due May 30th. I love the Brayden's name because his initials are BAD. I think it is really funny. I've always loved little kids and now that I'm going to have a little boy to baby sit and take care of while my sister is at work. My sister and her boyfriend just finished Brayden's room which is blue and white and gray chevron. That is the theme along with elephants. Having a little baby in our family's life is going to be amazing. I'm so excited I cant wait till he comes. Brayden is going to be a summer baby which means I will be able to see him everyday and so will my mom and dad. They are very excited to be grandparents and I'm excited to be an aunt.

Snow Days

Is your child ever bored on a snow day? I bet they are. So have them try these different things: make a snow man and/or fort, have a snowball fight, make a fire indoors and roast marshmallows, read a book by the fire, rent a movie and watch it, play board games as a family, and catch up on homework the child hasn't finished. Your child will have a packed day if you use some of these ideas. It won't just be packed but they will have fun doing all this stuff too. this will make the day a little less boring and a little more fun for the whole family. Try to make the day a family day so the kids can have some time with you too. Your child could even have friend over or go walk around. Take your child shopping on a snow day. Shopping on a snow day is probably my favorite thing to do on a cold, snowy day. Use some of these ideas to make the day more fun.

Soccer

Soccer Ball into Goalpost

Soccer is one of my favorite sports to watch besides hockey. It is fun to watch them do all their moves and then score or to see the goalie block the hard kicks coming right for them. My favorite movie would have to be the rainbow. You kick the ball over your shoulder and continue running. I used to play soccer as defensive but I can not play anymore because my mom said she can't risk me getting a concussion or injury. I wish I could still play because I had so much playing it. I went to the soccer game that was held at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis with my dad. I got an authentic jersey and wore it the whole day. Watching the professional men play was amazing. Wishing I could play too.

Hockey

Five Things I Learned Watching USA vs. Russia Olympic Hockey | Pop Addled

Hockey is the best sport ever. It has a lot of action and these guys are tough as nails. I could watch hockey every second of everyday. It is fun to go to games and see fights and the thrill of seeing your favorite player make a goal. To be honest, I don't know if I have a favorite player. All the players on the St. Louis Blues are amazing! I like Patrick Kane, TJ Oshie, David Backes, and Jonathan Quick. These guys are top notch in the NHL. Hockey is my addiction. Long Live the Note!

Pride

Amazon.com Pride

The movie we have been watching is called Pride which is based on a true story. It is about an African American man who starts an all African American swim team at Foster Recreational Center which is very rundown. Their first meet was a very bad one. They weren't fast enough swimmers and one of the boys got kicked in the face. Their second meet is coming up and is going to be held at their recreational center. The team they were facing was the best in the league but the coach acted like all of his players were sick and couldn't participate in the meet. So the teams did not swim that day. They have been practicing a lot and have a chance at this second meet. They have started to place in most of their meets now but the coach's past has started to catch up with him. When he was in high school he hit an officer because they were calling him names and picking on him because he was the only black swimmer. A news crew wanted to interview Coach Ellis but when they got in the rec. center the place was torn apart by three black men who wanted revenge on Coach Ellis. He started to beat all three of them up and almost got arrested for it. Coach put himself on suspension for it and put one of his swimmers in charge of the next meet. This meet was very hard but they ended up taking the championship trophy home.

I think this is a very good movie. I would defiantly watch the movie again. it had you going through so many different emotions. One minute your sad, the next your angry, then your happy for them all. I would recommend this movie for sure. The story line was perfect in all ways. You felt like you knew the characters your whole life even though haven't. No one should go through what these kids had to go through. It was not right for people to treat them like that because they were different. It shouldn't matter if you are white or black, normal or a little quirky, people should not be rude to you because of it. Just remember not everyone is like you or going to like you but don't let that stop you from doing what you love. If you get the chance to watch this movie, please watch it. You will probably see things differently.
