More DC

Hi everyone, I'm going to tell you more about here in DC. Two days ago I got interviewed by channel 6 news. That night I was on TV at 10 o'clock. I didn't get to see it because that station is only in San Diego. Here is a picture of me being interviewed.

Here's a You-Tube clipping of it done by my friend Murph. Thanks Brian.

Later that when I went back to the Hotel to get some lunch I saw Gray Davis, California's former Governor, sitting with his wife having some lunch. I got a picture with him. Here it is.

When I met him, I got to talk to him, I shook his hand and of course got a picture with him.

Yesterday I went to the--- INAUGURATION. I was in pain because of the crowds, because of the cold and because I was tired. But-- I got through it. I'm glad I did too. If I didn't I wouldn't have been able to see President OBAMA get inaugurated and my class would have been very disappointed. Here I am, here is a picture of me.

Bye everybody, off to see the White House.

I'm here!

Hey everybody I'm here, I'm in Washington DC. As you all know I'm going to President Elect Obama's (soon to be President) inauguration.

In a few days I'll be puting pictures on my blog from Barack Obama inauguration.

Yesterday I met Chiocciola, otherwise known as Eirin, and we went out for pizza but the place we went to was full so we ended up going to a mexican food place. We had a lot of fun. Thank you Snail.

See ya,
Casey

My 5th Section Test--On My Way to Black Belt

Hey Everybody, I passed my 5th section test and I'm on my way to black belt. Only two more tests to go until I get to first degree.

Here's a video from my test. This is 6 kick form. Here it is.

I'm really happy that I'm 5th section. Now I can actually be in front of people when we line up to start our class.

Bye.

My Super Awesome Hat--Ready for D.C.

Why Is Christmas Gone?

Why does Christmas have to go? You wait so long for it and then it disappears like yesterday's birthday cake.

Then when it gets to New Year's you have to take all the decorations down. It's really hard taking them down. You love them all but, then, the next thing you know, everything seems blank and empty.

Like our tree that we took the ornaments down from is complete empty now. All it is is a pine tree. But a real pine tree is more beautiful because God makes it and it has pine cones in it.

This is our poor tree. Look at it. It makes me want to cry.

But the good thing is--we get to bring it all out again next year.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I GOT A Wii. My Uncle Jeff knew what I wanted and he got it for me and I am really happy. Here's a video of me opening it and it was really fun. He played the same trick on me that I played on him--putting a box, in a box, in a box. I really love my Uncle Jeff. He's the best Uncle ever!! Here's the video.



I hope that all of you had a good Christmas and Santa was good to you. And I hope that none of you forgot the real meaning of Christmas--the birth of Jesus.

Christmas Eve

It's Christmas Eve, everybody. Just one day till Christmas. I'm ready but it seems like just yesterday I was in Italy swimming in a pool. But now, it's too cold and it's almost Christmas and I'm not in Italy.

I hope it snows tomorrow, which it probably won't because it doesn't snow in San Diego. But, I wish it did.

Have all of you gotten trees already? We have a really nice one and we have about
50 presents under it. That's too much. I think I should give some of them away--just kidding. A lot of them I bought for my grandparents, my mom and my uncle. My Uncle after he comes back from work he stays with us on Christmas eve. Then in the morning of Christmas, my uncle and I both open our stockings in bed. And then I get my grandparents stockings and bring them over to them.

I always have a lot of fun on Christmas and on Christmas eve.

On Christmas evening we go to the Christmas Eve service at church and listen to the story about Jesus, the one who started Christmas. As you see, the word Christ is in Christmas because Jesus is the Christ and he was supposedly born tomorrow over 2000 years ago. Sometimes people forget that.

Also on Christmas eve, at night, before I go to bed, I get to open one present. The rest I have to save til morning.

Have a Merry Christmas.

Ho Ho Ho

Bye.

This is our sausage Santa. He's always been one of our favorite decorations and as you can see, he's already for Christmas dinner.

Receiving and Giving

Receiving:

WE GOT THE INAUGURATION TICKETS. Woo00000000000-hoo.

I really wanted to get them to see the ceremony when Barack Obama is sworn-in as President of the United States. We got a call from our congressman who said, "YOU HAVE 3 TICKETS TO THE INAUGURATION CEREMONY." I hope it snows but gramma doesn't.

Giving:

Several weeks ago I did the shoe boxes again like I did last year. This time there in plastic boxes and not in shoe boxes. I did that so the kids who receive them could reuse them for other things.

Samaritans Purse takes the shoe boxes all over globally to the kids that they want to give them to. Samaritans Purse gives them to poor areas of the world so that they can actual have something and they learn about Jesus.

In the shoe boxes were toys, school supplies, dental supplies, and accessories. I bought them with my own money that I saved during the year to buy them. I spent $63 on them.

Here's some pictures of me bringing and giving the shoe boxes to the place that takes them. It was the same place as last year.



Yo, Casey
