Home Again, Home Again

Obviously I am back in Alaska. I have been here for about two days. When I first got here I of course saw grandma for a few hours then my sisters picked me up and took me to their house. There, I was able to see Owen which was definetely fun. Dawn (one of my sisters) bought Rockband (or Guitar Hero I'm not sure) Beattles version. We got the very same game for my dad for his birthday therefore I have a fair amount of practice. Still I'm not very good! My grandma was aloud to go home yesterday so we brought her home. The doctor said that if a couple pills that they gave her did not work for pain that she may have did not work than we needed to bring her back to the hospital immediately but if the pills did work she was completely fine.

The Endless Journey

My grandma had a heart attack so were heading to Alaska to see her. Along the way we cannot board our plane because it was delayed an hour. We thought that it was slightly annoying but we had a four hour layover in Salt Lake City so we didn't worry that much. Then, when we finally boarded the plane we tookoff and hit a flock of birds. Currently I am in Salt Lake but can't wait to board the plane out of here. Since our plane was so late yesterday we missed our connection flight here so the airport gave us a room at Red Lion hotel. It was fairly nice. We got up at about 4:10a.m. in order to get onto the shuttle from the hotel at 5:00a.m. Now that we've finally gotten to the aiport we are waiting for the restaurants to open. I sure hope this plane doesn't hit birds!

Cold, in Oklahoma?

I realize that I posted about it being cold here but I ca t believe how "cold" it's gotten. Today I think that it got down to 40 degrees this morning. Of course many people here call that cold but back in Aaska where I lived we called -10 degrees cold definetely not 40 degrees. It sure is nice to have fairly warm weather all year!

Oklahoma Winter

It's getting cold for Oklahoma. A couple days ago it got down to about 54 degrees. Being from Alaska that's in summer weather! It's funny because last year people were complaining about how cold it was and that we shouldn't go outside. I just put a light jacket on and I'm ready to go but the people who live here (no offense to them of course) make sure that they are fairly well bundled up. Sometimes I do not blame them because wind packs a punch sometimes. During fairly bad winter days the wind actually stings. Most of the time it's hilarious when people think it's cold at 54 degrees but when it is windy it's bad!

Update

I updated my phone a couple of hours ago. The new update includes bring able to send video and picture in a text message. I had no idea thathere was even an update until I talked to someone on my bus who had just gotten an iPhone a week or two ago. He obviously messed around on his a lot more than I do. He showed me that once I got the update I just had to go to messages and then to the little box that you put messages in and directly to the left of it there is a little camera that you click on. After that all you have to do is click on what you want in the message ( picture or video) and select which one you want. Cool huh?!?

iPhone3GS

About four or five weeks ago I was lucky enough to get an iPhone3GS. As a matter of fact that is how I am posting this right now. It is very cool. A couple of features are obviously the iPod feature and you are also able to watch movies. I transfered all of my apps from my iPod touch to my iPhone. Somehow I can't find the movies that I had on my iPod on my iPhone though. It is pretty nice to have internet anywhere though. So far it's been pretty fun.

Comments

I know that I am not the best blogger but if you like or dislike my blog please leave a comment telling me. Or if you would like to give me ideas that would also be great.

Visiting Relatives in Palmer

Before I left Ak I visited my grandma, (in the photo above) my uncle, and my aunt. It was definetely a fun visit. Now that I'm in Ok I miss them though I saw them only about a week ago.

Boy Scouts

It's very fun to be in boy scouts. There are actually two ''groups'' I suppose you could call them. They are cub scouts and boy scouts. In cub scouts you are basically prepared for boy scouts. For example you would go camping in cabins in cub scouts but in boy scouts you sleep in a tent. Believe me that is a big difference. Though we slept in cabins in Ak in cub scouts but we slept in tents in Ok in boy scouts. Of course the morning we woke up (when we were in the tents) it started snowing in Ok. I definetely do enjoy boy scouts because we do much more adventurous things. Like make our own fires, pitch our own tents, and we cook for ourselves. And the best part, we have a meeting tonight

Hawk on the chair

I actually took this picture at about noon today which on my time was about two and a half hours ago. The bird in this photo is a hawk. Back in Ak you could get amazing pics of bald eagles but we don't have hawks there. It is really cool because that is actually our table on the back patio. there was sadly a little bird on the ground apparently trying to hide because it was hunkered down as much as possible. Then the little bird attempted to fly away and the hawk followed but I don't know if the little bird got away which bothers me a little bit. I very much like animals and I know that it's just nature when something gets eaten but I still don't like it.

Owen And I

This is a photo of Owen and I. I took this a little bit before I left Ak. It was really fun to get a good picture of us together before I left. He really is fun to take pics with when he's in a good mood. This will help me remember him I'm sure.

Problem Animals In Ok

One problem animal in Ok is the snakes. A problem with snakes is that they are in the garden frequently and that frightens me when I just walk outside and see them it frighten me a lot. Antoher problem with them is they eat the bunnies that are in the yard. The animal that is only slightly annoying in Ok is the hawk. The only problem I have with it is that it also eats bunnies. Yet another mammal that irratates me is the coyote because it eats all sorts of creatures in the night. I know that it's just because I like animals that I don't like those animals.

Jasper

Jasper is my pet cockatoo. He's basically a miniature parrot which is very cool because he talks fairly well. I also saw another cockatoo at a grooming place that was sixteen that could sing and dance to 'We Will Rock You'. He was very cool. Though Jasper is only about five he can talk fairly well. The night I got him I was attempting to teach him to say 'hello Will' but after about fifty times with me saying that until he finally said 'jasper'. Like he was trying to say 'you idiot my name is not Will it's Jasper'. At least that's how I read it. If he wanted he could seriously injure someone because he has a beak that can turn one of those wooden baby blocks to toothpicks. In my opinion he wouldn't hurt a fly.

Chores

Every week or every other day I have to do chores. Now I know that most kids absolutely hate chores but I definetely love them. One thing that I have to do is mow the lawn. Did I mention that we have one of those (ZTR) zero turn radius lawn mowers. The nice thing is that all that gets excersised is your arms because you just need to move it with the joystick like things whatever they are called they are very nice. Oh and I have to do the laundry about every week. The nice thing is that I just have to work on that for about ten minutes the few amount of times I have to do it. And I'm supposed to keep my room clean but we did just move there so that is a little annoying. I have been making a very large effort though and I believe that my room is fairly clean.

I Love Writing

I enjoy writing so much I have finished one book already and am working on another one. I can't wait until my parents publish it. The name of the completed on is 'The Unforgivable Tunnel'. The other book is titled ' The Day Before The Devil'. Which, is hopefully going to be one book in a whole series. When I was just about to start my first book mom thought that I was going to basically copy because I liked Harry Potter and Star Wars so much. Now I want to write all of the time, that's partially why I made this blog.

Changing Houses

Now that time is so thin with me in Ak I have to go to my other sister's house because she promised my mom that she would take me to the airport. Since I'm leaving on sunday I have to gather up all my stuff which if you know me is fairly difficult. Though I will miss my family that is here I currently miss my parents in Ok. We have some friends coming with me on the plane so that I don't have to fly alone. They are very good friends of my family. They also let me stay the night at there family's house. I am always excited about plane trips and this time is no exception.

This was my dog Denali. About two years ago I lost him to cancer. He was only five years old. His mom also died from cancer. I feel just terrible because he was my best friend. Now I know what the saying 'mans best friend' means. He was always a good dog and he didn't even get to live in Oklahoma. The closest he got was about two or three months from the move. Though we have Kiah I still miss him.

Oklahoma Heat

In Oklahoma its been really hot this summer. Though the winters aren't that cold anyway. But here in Ak it's been around 60 degrees most of the time except for about a week it was almost always 80 degrees or above. I know that if you live in the lower 48 then that sounds like nothing but here it's something. It was about 106 degrees in the shade in Ok a little while ago and about 125 degrees in direct sunlight. The only thing is the little thermometer heats up so it probably wasn't that warm but I'm sure it felt like it.

Life As I Knew It In Alaska

As you know I have moved to Oklahoma and still miss Alaska. But I'm going to tell you about my old life in Ak. I lived in a fairly nice house and dad would chase me around the yard or we would have races. But what was really fun was to through an apple under some huge bushes because I pretended that there was a bear under there. But the apples were shriveled up and stuff so I didn't waste any. Then I moved into another house that I'm pretty sure was bigger than the old house. The only thing was that it had a forested backyard so when I shot my bow and arrow if I missed it would go in the backyard and the arrow might be gone for good. Though there weren't that many problems about that house. Oh and for whatever reason I enjoy Fred-Meyer's especially since there isn't one in Ok. So for the most part I loved to live in Ak.

My Nephew Owen

My nephew Owen is very young yet he calls me Will instead of Uncle Will now. It was sort of cute when he called me Uncle Will but when he just says Will he says like he's board or something. He sure is a kid of mischief as you can see in his eyes. I sure will miss him since I no longer live in Alaska. This sunday I'm leaving Alaska. Maybe he'll write letters once he gets old enough.

I'll Definetely Miss Alaska

Though I lived hear for a whole nine years I'll probably still miss Alaska. When I get to Oklahoma I'm going to do my best to keep in touch with all of my family in Ak. Though I will be able to see them again,hopefully.

A Photo From Valdez,Ak

I came back to Alaska to visit some relatives and so I was able to take many interesting pictures. I got a fairly good one of an eagle catching a fish. Now I know that it's blurry but it's very difficultto get a non-blurry one when something is moving at that speed.

My New Life in Oklahoma

I am very excited now that I moved to Oklahoma. The heat is absolutely anstonishing. Just last week it was about 106 degrees in the shade and in the sun (which the thermometer heats up) it said it was 125 degrees! Before I moved there I thought that 80 was hot but then I found out what humidity is, believe me it changes the way you think of heat. Then we got a new dog. I was going to name her an Alaskan name but all of the little puppy ones were taken. Then my Mom thought of naming her an Australian name because she is an australian shepherd. The cool thing is that she is actually a teacup sized miniature australian shepherd which means she is the smallest type there is. We ended up calling her Kiah which means "a beatiful place" in australian. Kiah is maybe a foot high and about a foot and four inches long. Another fun thing about her is that she plays soccer. For example I'll kick the ball her way and she dribbles it then I'll shout 'Kiah' and she'll use her nose to bump the ball in my direction and I'll score. She doesn't mind the heat at all which in my opinion is amazing considering how much excercise she gets. My cockatoo 'Jasper' doesn't mind the heat either. As a matter of fact he very much enjoys it. Oh, and my cat 'Patches' stays indoors for the most part but one time when it was only like 75 degrees out she somehow escaped out the backdoor and stayed the night outside.
