Wow! Our house is REALLY full, now that we have 5 extra people here who are staying until Saturday. All my cousins that are here in Venezuela. Its fun. I am never bored!
That's all for now!
Well, I have been getting comments from Jackie and from her whenever she talks to me to post something new, so. Josh is here, and we are having so much fun with him. Today Jewel has a volleyball practice,and tonight we have a baseball game to attend. Josh is coming too. The Tiburones de La Guaira. We are going to have fun. I also have 2 Cardenales hats, that I can lend out. One is pink and is autographed, and another is just like a Safari hat with the team-logo on it. We had alot of fun this Christmas. Especially since Josh was here. He added to the happiness alot. Well, here is our Christmas: We got up and opened presents around 5, and then Jewel, Josh, and Mom went back to bed and went back to sleep, but me and Dad stayed up, and I had fun with my new presents. Later, Jackie got online, and said she would put the webcam on so that we could watch Elena open her presents. She loved a toy cellphone that she got. Then, later, around lunchtime, Jeanah, Janelle, Jason, Johnny, Uncle Ed, Aunt Debbie, and some Brazilian missionaries came over to have Christmas Dinner. I gave their older daughter some earrings that I had gotten in my stocking, because they didn't get very much, so I wanted to give them something. Then, we gave Jeanah and Janelle some Barbies, and Johnny got a Pirates of the Carribean sword set. We had a gift exchange. Me and Jewel got great witnessing bracelets, that tell the story of Jesus, and how he died, and the whole story. There are beads for every part. Aunt Debbie gave them to us. Then, me and Jeanah and Janelle and the little girl I gave the earrings to, named Joyce, went outside and played in the park and we did contests and stuff. I also found a rudolph nose! It was in our yard, and someone must have dropped it or something. Here is a picture of me wearing it : )
We had a GREAT Chrsitmas!
These are some of my favorite smileys. I know my Aunt Pam is going to love the teddy bear ones, and the cute ones. So, I hope that everything is okay, and that you guys enjoy viewing all of these adorable little Smileys! Let the fun begin.
AND NOW FOR ESPECIALLY AUNT PAM!!!!!
I LOVYA BUNCH AUNTIE PAMMIE!!!!!
Twas the month before Christmas,
And all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying,
Nor taking a stand.
See the PC Police had taken away,
The reason for Christmas-no one could say.
The children were told by their schools not to sing,
About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.
It might hurt peoples' feelings, the teachers would say.
December 25th is just a "Holiday".
Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks, and credit.
Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it.
CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an iPod
Something was changing, something quite odd!
Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa
In hopes to sell books by Franken and Fonda.
As Targets were hanging their trees upside down
At Lowe's the word Christmas was no where to be found.
At K-mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears
You wont hear the word Christmas, it wont touch your ears.
Inclusive, sensitive, di-ver-si-ty are words that were used to intimidate you and me.
Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Kennedy, Wolf Blitzer
On Boxer,On Rather, On Kerry, On Clinton!
At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter
To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.
And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith
Forbidden to speak of Salvation and Grace.
The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded.
The reason for the season, stopped before it started.
So as you celebrate
"Winter Break" under your "Dream Tree"
Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.
Choose your words carefully,
choose what you say
Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS, not Happy Holiday!
Well, it's another day,one step closer to Jesus' birthday. There's actually a song I am going to sing for Christmas, and it's called, "Christmas Without Jesus" Now, doesnt that sound sad? Christmas without Jesus! I wouldnt love Christmas as much. And it WOULD NOT be Christmas, without Christ! I was just thinking how sad it would be, if we didnt celebrate Jesus' birthday. We would just sing Silent Night not even knowing the wonderful meaning of that song. We would sing Away In A Manger, only knowing that we were singing about 'how Christmas started'. I am glad that we all know the real meaning of Christmas. Because, that just makes it even more worth waiting a whole year for. I love opening presents, but I dont just think, 'oh I love Christmas! It's the best day of the year! I get to open presents! Yipee!' I think, ' Oh, I love Christmas! It's the day Jesus, our Savior was born! I'm glad I know the true meaning of these gifts. Thank you Lord. For being born!Oh, and Happy Birthday!' I am glad that I love Jesus. He is greater than the great! Everyone should have as much joy as we all do on Christmas. So, I am going to tell everyone how happy I am on Christmas, and not for the presents. For Jesus' Birthday. I want them to feel how joyful we all are every Christmas, and for the same reasn as all of us! How about you?
He is born in Bethlehem! 
Jesus Christ is Born! 
Christmas: Celebrate it the R*I*G*H*T way!
Tonight we are having the Vernoy's over for a Parilla. Anyone who knows what that is should be drooling by now. Anyone who doesnt, I will explain what it is now. Steak, Sausages and sometimes Hot Dogs, are grilled. My mom makes the best maronade you have E*V*E*R tasted. She soakes the raw steak in it overnight,and my dad cooks it outside on a BBQ grill. YUMMO! There is really delicious steak on everybody's plate. Boy,I cant wait. Everybody,Jackie called a little while ago,and she is feeling better. I hope you people were praying for her. I prayed for them. I pray everynight. And know that each and everyone of you,MJ,Pat, my family and everbody I know,go up in my prayers every single night. I am glad that everyone is healthy,and if anybody is not,please let me know in your comment. Or, let me know any one of your prayer requests.

Well, we have started in School again,and surprisingly,yesterday I got my whole math lesson correct. Sure I will always be a little behind,but Mom told me we are going to start a new book soon. YEA! One year ahead. But,harder problems....Oh well. Mom has told me this : It doesnt have to be fun, it just has to be done. AND this: Everything in life is never going to be easy. So,I rest my case. I am happy that I am starting to go ahead,but I'm not exactly thrilled to be doing harder problems. But, I might as well get them overwith. We watched Nacho Libre last night with the projector. Chancho reminded us alot of Shane. And I bet my Uncle Augustin just loved how they all talked. We laughed and I loved it. Dad thought it was stupid. Oh Well. He can think what he wants to think,but if you want my oppinion, I highy recommend it!

Tonight I have to dress up as a Hebrew. Yesterday Jewel was working on her play. The play is that Bible story,where the Death Angel comes,and if you wanted to stay alive,you had to paint blood above your door. Anyway,I went with Dad,to watch Jewel rehearse. Then the Director of the play,Richard,said me and my friend Ana could be the two Hebrew daughters. I am supposed to be Jewel's daughter,since..(yeah.Since I am white). I am not supposed to say anything,except act like I am scared and maybe cry, and Jewel is just supposed to act like she is protecting me,since she plays my mom. It is taking place tonight. I might post pictures. I might not. My outfit is a baige dress of Mom's(yes,mom's),a white shirt and a green shawl. We got the idea from a Bible DVD that we have.LOL! But in the end,it looks just right for such a short notice.
Well,I hope it goes well,with no jokes or anything. Since that's what the last rehearsal was like. Everybody was joking around and laughing. The Director had to tell everyone to calm down,since we could not joke around and laugh on stage.
Well,good bye and have a nice day.
"I Like Smoked Worms" By Jayde Vernoy
I like smoked worms,
I think they are delicious,
I once met a girl,
who said worms would make her nocious.
I said "You're crazy!"
She told me "You're wierd!"
We looked at each other,
long enough to grow a beard.
Then she asked me this question,
"Have you ever been speared?"
I told her no,her face lost it's worry,
I smiled at her,glad we had lost each other's furry.
THE END.
"Under my thatch roof" By Jayde Vernoy
I lay in silence,
Unable to sleep,
We'd move to the city,
so soon each day I'd weep.
President Chavez had said,
Right on tv,
That he didnt want to see in the jungle,
One missionary.
I felt like crying,
when he said those words.
I felt like I was being stabbed,
by a thousand swords.
I loved our home,
I loved it there,
how could Chavez say that?
It just wasnt fair.
So we packed a bunch of things,
some were old,some were new,
but when we boxed it all up,
we could only take a few.
"Plane Day" came,
and we all climbed inside the plane.
I did not like it.
I thought it was insane.
One last look,
At the Indian's lined up,to say goodbye,
It hurt me so much,
I thought I would die.
But here I am now,
One year later,
getting used to a new life
And no longer eating gator.
I had no idea which day was Thanksgiving,because we have had three! To Jackie: Thanks for the recipe for Oreo Truffles,they were a GREAT hit.One of the baseball players even took one back for a friend.

Well, we are going to Uncle Ed and Aunt Debbie's to have -yet ANOTHER Thanksgiving-. So I had better go,and...
