Days in Dullstrom

At about 8 o’clock in the morning family went to Doolstrom on… 11/2/07 our pretty amazing I’ve still got the date huh? Well any way we went to a really cool art shop. It was called… i create. We made Mosaics. It was really fun. The people that owned the shop were very, very nice. I love, love, loved it. We might go there again with our grandparents. I’m very exited.


I wish everyone were here to see. Also I can tell you exactly what we did…


We ate lunch at a pancake place. (sorry I forgot the name!)
After that we went to the advice or whatever it’s called center.

Then we went to i create.

Then we went the candy shop.
We each got our own peace of candy.

After that we went home.

It was a magnificent day. And as you all should know we at about 8 o’clock in the morning and by the time we got home
it was about 6 o’clock at night.
I just hope that my grandparents like it.



If not…
Oh well!

the Orphanage!

We’ve gone to the orphanage twice now! But the people that went were me, my mom, Mason, Brynley, Sister DeCock and Trust (our guide) My favorite baby was probably Brooklyn or Nkwe (pronounced Nikway) Last week we went to see the younger children ( at least 2-4 years old) Today we saw the tiny just new born babies. They were so, so, cute.

One of the babies reminded me of Lucy our baby. It was Nkwe. A cute fat baby with chubby cheeks. (who of course will all of a sudden grab your finger and start to suck on it!) Oh, and O fed Siabonga! Yes I know your all wondering, who is Siabonga? Well, he’s one of the baby’s folks! And only eight weeks old! Isn’t that cute!!!!

The Book List

So my mom thought it would be a good idea to write all the books I have read here in my Africa Journal. My a. journal is a journal that my mom got us kids for us to write in. so I decided to do just that. I was not surprised at how many books I have read here, after all reading has been one of my bigger entertainment choices. Here is the list of books I’ve read so far:
1. Twilight
2. New Moon
3. Ella Enchanted
4. May Bird
5. The Alchemyst
6. Half Moon Investigations
7. Lunch Money
8. Fable Haven
9. Alice in Wonderland
10.Charlie Bone and the Time Twister
11.I, Coriander
12.Walk Two Moons (a couple of chapters to go!)

I don’t have a favorite out of all these. I feel excited when ever I finish a book because I get to read another!

Halloween fun!

If you like Halloween and sweets you should have come to our Halloween party that was last week. There were sweets donut eating, bobbing for apples, oh and don’t forget decorating cookies! There was trick-or treating from door to door also! (Etc.)

It was all American Halloween fun! But all with either Afrikaaners or Africans. We almost had over 60 children come over to our house!

I was in charge of decorating cookies, Mason was in charge of dead man, and Bryn was in charge of “eating donuts off strings” it was all very fun.

The Incident

Wednesday, October 24, 2007: On this night a big problem occurred. Our friend and driver left the house at about 5:00. One hour later my dad called us. Trust hadn’t made it to the office. This created a bit of uneasiness. “Trust left an hour ago,” Mom said. For about an hour longer uneasiness had a firm grip on us. A few hours later it was confirmed. There had been an incident…


…Gotcha! It turned out that instead of being dead he was at the police headquarters. His friend had rented his truck and, while he was renting it, got a huge fee of 2000 rand. How? Ask my mom I don’t have a clue. Anyway, he was able to prove he wasn’t guilty and didn’t have to spend the night in a jail cell. And they all lived happily ever

Hello Utah!

3 more months till freedom! 3 months till I go to Haily and Read! 3 months till I can see all of my grandparents at once! Utah here I come! (Hope fully I'll be taller than Haily) When we get to Utah I have 3 goals:
1) Teach Read rugby
2) Update everyone on my super heroes(I'm making a book!)
3) make up for all the time I've Been gone!

And they win! (Again)

So the springboks South Africa won the national champion chip of the year 2007! Do you know what that means? Of course! It means that they are the ones who get the BIG shiny
Trophy. You know the thing that people get when they win of course. And you know what? I am know a facially a rugby fan. Yep that is true. Know I’m possibly wearing Masons springbok rugby shirt when we watch rugby. And know I hope to go to my perch and see if there’s any rugby on.
Good day Africa (or any other state!)
