Picture of the Week: Robo Raptor

Camping in the Snow

This one is for my teacher.

I'm watching this cool movie called "The Last Unicorn." It's about this unicorn that wonders if she's the only unicorn in the world.

But I really wanted to talk about that we went camping in our motor home. It was in the mountains and there was snow there and everything was muddy. It was so fun because Quinton and Preston were there and we played all night. I got a little dirty cause I had to slide down a steep hill, but I didn't get as dirty as Preston did. He got way muddy.

It was kind of cold though and I had to change my socks. The coolest part was this teeny little waterfall I found. It was just a big rock with water coming out of it. Also there was a big old square of quicksand. I didn't go by it, but even if I accidentally fell in I would be able to get out ok because Bear Grylls taught me how to get out.

We had a big fire and stayed up way late to talk about SpongeBob and tell scary stories. Then we went to bed and listened to songs and told stories and played fun imagination games. It was definitely a good camping trip!

Happy 2nd Birthday, theDinosaurBoy.com!!

Dad's Note: A quick post before the boy and I go camping. Today marks Bridger's blog's second anniversary. Two years ago today he made his Web debut with the following words:

My name is Bridger. I am 4 years old. I love dinosaurs. They are the most powerful creatures to ever walk the earth.

Blogger has been bogged down with technical problems the last few days, so I'll post a few pictures tomorrow. For now, Happy Birthday, theDinosaurBoy.com!!

Sing In Harmony; UPDATE: Photo added

This one is for Miss Lori.

I had my acting class play and I did so good. I thought the costumes would be dumb but they were pretty cool. I was Squirt the turtle, but my shell was so heavy. I did my part really good and Miss Lori was very proud. She sure was beautiful at the play. Dadda took lots of video and I told him to put some video on here so that people like Katie and my school teacher can see it.

When we weren't on stage we sat down and waited for our parts. There was ladies back there reminding us to be quiet. Then we sang all the songs like "Yellow Bird" and "Matilda" and "Harmony."

But I DID NOT like the princess songs. Whenever I have to sing princess songs, I just pretend to sing them. My favorite part of the play is when the boys are bees. That's the funnest part and the bee costumes are the comfiest

Miss Lori gave me a trophy after the play. I love it because it's the only trophy I've ever got. I didn't even get a trophy for tee-ball. That trophy made me so glad. I'm so glad I decided not to quit my acting class.

When it was over Miss Lori was talking, but I don't remember anything she said. I couldn't see her face because I was standing behind her, but it sounded like she was crying happy tears. That's just like when people give talks in church- they cry happy tears. I think she had happy tears because we are special to her.

The Secret Surprise

This one is for my teacher. I love her so much.

We had our field trip today and mumma got to come. It was at the museum. They had a real helicopter there that was the same helicopter I flew in when I poured blood and almost died.

When we got back to our classroom, we had this secret surprise that we been planning for a long time. Teacher taught us all a song about love and we practiced it one last time. Then this guy came in our classroom and brought a girl. I don't really know what was going on, but we sang this song and then that guy gave the girl a present.

The present was a Build-a-Bear that says "I love you" when you push it's paw. Then he got on his knee and gave her a ring. The girl started crying, but it was happy tears.

Then we sang that special song again and got our picture with them. Then they left. And that was the secret surprise.

The Miracle Paradise

This one is for a therazinosaurus. Not a lot of kids my age seem to know about him, but he's one of the coolest dinos ever.

There's this place I love to go with Preston and we call it the Miracle Paradise. It's this yard where another kid named Bridger lives and it's so wonderful to be in. First you go over the bridge and then through these gates and you're in the Miracle Paradise. There's fun toys all over everywhere too.

It looks pretty back there because of the tall green weeds and colorful bricks. There's green ones and blue ones and gray ones but there's not really a pattern. I love them because they feel so smooth on your feet. I love the Miracle Paradise.

[Dad's Note: I would have taken a picture of the Miracle Paradise to post above, but "the new Bridger's" family might have thought I was weird.]

My Mumma Should Get a Real Job

This one is for my Robo Raptor.

I asked my mom if she ever heard of the Pocahontas plant. She didn't because she's not as smart as my teacher. Do you know why my teacher is smarter than my mom? Because she's a teacher.

I asked mumma why she doesn't have a job Mumma said her job is to be my mom. But I told her no, like a real job- where you go and they give you money to do stuff. I know lots of kids that have moms and their mom's have jobs. Maybe if she got a job she could be smarter like my teacher. Mumma thought that was very funny.

[Dad's Note: Boy, Mumma can't get a break. The other day Weston asked her, "You know why you're not so good at soccer? Cause you're just a mom, huh?" Good thing Mumma has a good sense of humor. And after Dadda sets them straight, she'll probably get an extra good Mother's Day present from her boys.]
