You've waited, you've watched, but now its finally here! The eXtreme Post Blow-out!!

I was supposed to post this yesterday but I never had enough time to. But since I'm posting it today I have even more to tell you about.

The eXtreme Post Blow-out!! Will consist of four parts, I will also post something a little extra at the end. If you read below you'll see all four parts.


1. Halloween
2. The Zoo

3. Disney's: Meet The Robinsons (Review)

4. Halo 3 (Review)

Remember to read the special thing at the end.

First up:

Halloween
Part One Section One "The Pumpkin Patch"


We had alot of fun at the pumkin patch the other day. We got to pick our own pumpkins, milk wooden cows, jump off of hay bales, go through a corn maze and paint pumpkins.

Here are Luci and Kalyn, they are both in their spooky halloween clothes. They are standing next to a fence and I have no idea how dangerous the animals are inside of it.




Luci got a little tired holding that big pumpkin.


I'm milking a wooden cow, but for some reason water comes out instead of milk.

Luci is making some odd creation, that will probably someday win her $2,000,000,000,000.




Halloween

Part one Section Two "The Harvest Festival"


This year at our church's Harvest Festival we had tons of kids and adults in line for our "Trunk or Treat." Everyone wanted some candy.

I was John Wayne for the first half of the festival and for the last half I was a fat farmer (I don't have I picture of me in that one sorry). J.T. was the Karate Kid (sadly we don't have a picture of that ether). Luci was a tiger because Kalyn was an elephant, my mom was Souper Women (she wore soup labels and a red cape). And last but not least my dad was a Smarty Pants (We duct taped smartie candy's to his pants).

Here are some pictures.



There I am posing in my John Wayne costume.
Luci had to take a picture with Kalyn.


But Luci didn't want to take a picture so she left.

But then Kalyn gave Luci her stare of persuasion.



It made Luci so sad to see Kalyn that way, so she decided to take a picture with her.
They are good friends.

The Zoo

We went to the Birmingham zoo yesterday and saw tons of animals. When we got home it was really late, thats why I didn't post yesterday like I said I would.

I'm tired of writing just read my mom's blog when she updates it to see what happened.




Disney's: Meet the Robinsons

This is a brand new movie, it came out last week. Its about an orphan who wants to find his mom but he goes to the future and meets the Robinsons, I don't want to spoil the movie for you so I'm going to stop here.




Halo 3


Halo 3 is a great FPS (First Person Shooter) It has an amazing back story, a great plot and never gets boreing. And who doesn't like saving the world from a massive army of aliens that just wont quit and are threatning to wipe out the entire human race?
Did you know Halo 3 is the best selling media release of all time? It sold more copies in one day than any other music or movie release. But don't take my word for it, read this review.

By Dan Hsu 09/21/2007 > Reviewer's Blog > Review Crew Profile


Master Chief just wouldn't be quiet. For a few years now, the sci-fi action hero has been going on and on about "finishing the fight" whenever video trailers and Microsoft marketing materials would allow him. But now the time's come -- Halo 3, the finale to the epic first-person-shooter trilogy, is here, and we finally get to see whether Mr. Green (and his somewhat confusing story from Halo 2) gets to finish the fight that a few evil alien races started. (Don't worry, spoiler-free review ahead....)
Campaign promises Bungie Studios heard the collective "huh?" from the Halo Nation when a giant talking plant creature and a twisty storyline threatened to derail an otherwise fine piece of fiction in the second installment. The studio promised a more straightforward narrative in Halo 3, which we get for the most part, but it certainly won't be drawing in any new fans to the series; there's hardly any setup, recapping, or reminders of who the cast is (and if you don't remember the events of Halo 2, you better read here for a refresher, because you won't find much help in chapter three). The tale -- one of life-destroying weapon-worlds, a fanatic Covenant alien race out to trigger them, the parasitic Flood who wants to gobble everything up, and the desperate humans (with our armored hero leading the charge) who want to stop all of the above -- does wrap up nicely...but not necessarily in the feel-good fashion that most people would expect. So while Halo 2 left you with an Empire Strikes Back cliffhanger ending (OK, it wasn't that monumental), Halo 3 finishes without the fairy-tale finale of Return of the Jedi, keeping the storyline sophisticated and respectable by video game standards (just make sure to stay tuned after the credits are done rolling).

Bonus section
Don't read this unless you've read the rest of the post
After watching Meet the Robinsons and how they use time travel, I told my mom how I had made some theories about time travel a while ago. She told me to write them down because she said when I get older I'll forget them, so earlier today I wrote them down. Here it is:

Time travel theory:

It is impossible to interact with people from the past, because the future for those people hasn't happened yet. Therefore if you did interact with them and took them to the future (your present) they would disappear and go back to their normal lives. If they didn’t go back to their normal lives they would remember what had happened and their lives would be changed forever. For better or for worse.

I have a second theory, if you travel back in time and are able to interact with anyone that also means your whole life is happening at the same time. i.e., if you talk to yourself in the past it would be impossible unless your future self already exists. If you can interact with the past (which is theoretically impossible) and touch, move or if someone sees you it could change their life forever. You could inspire the most amazing thing to ever happen in human history or you could send a country into a great depression.

So, if time travel does exist it would be more like a memory than the actual thing. (You can only see but not touch or interact with in any way).

Luci in the Garden

My mom was working out in the garden and Luci wanted to look at the tomato plants. Then I got a really cute picture out of her.

Meet the Brady Bunch

Do I look board in the picture? Well I'm not, I'm just tired. Playing with Luci is fun (for five minutes) and then she gets a little bossy, I wonder where she gets it from, I'll ask my mom. But J.T. is a handful. (I won't go into details.)
But without them there would be nothing to do all day. No games to play, none of Luci's random moments and no fighting over who gets the last Popsicle. (Even Luci knows what to say to make us want to give it to her.)

Its just weird here.

Kalyn's Birthday Party

Luci's Post:



Kalyn is my first real friend. She is from China, too. Saturday Kalyn had her first birthday at home. It was a big deal! She had aunts and uncles and cousins from all over the place--Chicago, Tennessee, and Texas! And we got to come, too. Here we are eating birthday cake. I had to show Kalyn how to blow out the candles. I did a good job, and then I sneezed on the cake. We ate lots of food, mostly hot dogs. Here we are making sure JT is behaving.
I had to show Kalyn how to open her presents. She was rather shy about it. I dug right in!
Here's how to do it, Kalyn!!
Here are Kalyn and me sitting with Aunt Teri and JT.
Mom was really embarrassed by my behavior. Just trying to keep you on your toes, Mommy!

Museum Field Trip

This is by JT:
We went to the Cook's Natural Science Museum. This is me with the smelly skunks of North America. (The picture above--I'm joking, it's really the picture below.)


When Luci saw this bear, she said, "This is so cute!" My mom and Luci met these two Chinese ladies.
In this picture, you are probably wondering which one is me (I am in the back--the statue is really the one with the orange hair!).
After our day at the Cook's Natural Science Museum, we went to McDonald's that had a bunch of 50's stuff in it and 60's and 70's and 80's. I said they should have this stuff in our JAM 56 room at our church.
