Hey I thought I would go ahead and update my blog. The only really exiting thing that is happening is that tomorrow I am have a Lord of the Rings Marathon. I know some people out there are just thinking why on Earth would you want to do that, well let's just say that that is what I enjoy, Lord of the rings. I have read all the books, know the movies by heart, and have watched the special features many many times. well that is about it.

During Christmas break, we took a trip down to Kentucky to celebrate my granny's 90th birthday. We had a great time on the farm. We drove the gator, met relatives no one knew existed and much more. At one point I was driving the gator with my cousin and the tire deflated, It was a little frightning since we were on the side of a hill. In the end all was well and it turned out it wasn't our fault, the tires were just worn down. I took pictures of the farm to show what a beautiful place it really is.

So life continues and I just recovered from a throat infection and a fever. I had fun laying in bed and on the couch all day long. I got a little bored. I just finished making my rounds and reading blogs. I have not had much going on.

I went to school today and said to every one that today is a perfect day except for the fact we got about 2 1/2 in. of snow and we didn't get a day off or a even a delay. Other than that I have enjoyed looking at the snow and enjoying it's magnificent beauty and lovely sight. Now I feel in the Christmas mood and it isn't even thanks giving yet. I know I am pathetic, but that is just how I happen the feel.

I have just recently learned that Aunt Rachel will be soon moving to North Carolina?. Quite a drive in my opinion. Well that brings me to the point that I have lately been thinking about, How did all of our family end up in Ohio? Ever since my mother was little, my family would flip flop between West Virginia and Kentucky. Some times Texas and occasional another state or 2. All the time they would always be in WV, KY, or TX but how does Ohio come into the picture?

Well One day, out of the blue, my parents decided to move to the random state of Ohio. So we come up here and we have stayed her for now 13 years. I guess we just convinced Aunt Shagga to come up here from TX. Most of this time my grand parents were in Africa. So now we had 2 families in Ohio out of 5. One random day Aunt Rachel moved up here too, but she had lived here for a little time in the past. 3 down 2 to go. When Nana and Papa retired they moved here too. 4 out of 5. But Uncle Mountain Man never did move up here. So that is how we all ended up in the random state of Ohio. Quite interesting I would say.

I wish something cool will happen so that I will finally have something good to write about. Please, if you have any inspiration, please inspire me!

Just in case you didn't notice, I have a new blog background ! Again :) This is no ordinary blog background, no I did not get it off the backgrounds you get for free from what blog spot provides. This is extraordinary! You won't believe I got it from a web site entitled this because, well, I'm a boy. But the place I got it from was a website called cutest blog on the block .com :) Well anyway I picked out something I liked and, well, I like it! They have a very wide variety of backgrounds to choose from. I think It's awesome. I'm not exactly sure how you get onto your blog because Dear Mother did it for me. All I did was browse around and find some thing I liked and Dear Mother did the rest, and Bam! Just like magic it was on my blog. It was quite fascinating, no really it was.

I know I tend to write random posts and you must agree this is one of the most random ones I have ever wrote and well anyway, I am not quite sure where I inherited my randomness from, but I have it anyway. I don't think I have ever posted about a new blog background, hold on let me go check. Jeopardy music plays while Thaddeus scans through all his blog posts and after 2 times of the song playing, he returns. No I have never posted about a new blog background before. And since I'm random, today I went back to my old school to visit my 6th grade teachers, that was fun. Over the summer one got married and another got engaged and my already married teacher thankfully didn't change.

Today I ran the 5K and did okay, not great, just okay. When I was at the starting line, I was with Aunt Shaga. When we set out I lost her and just followed every one else. after about one mile Aunt Shaga caught up to me shortly after I got a side stitch ( a really mad cramp in your side. ) and had to walk it out a bit. Once it finally went I away I started running again. The rest of the race I could see Aunt Shaga in front of me and was steadily getting closer. At the end of the race I tried to sprint but my knees hurt to much. So it happened that Aunt Shaga beat me. :( Well atleast she did good. I didn't great time but I guess it was fine. My time was about 31:something. After the race I went and got my frute snacks and sat around and ate my apples. My wonderful Aunt Kathy and Uncle Chris went home. Me and Aunt Shaga had to stay for a money drawing in 2 hours. How were we going to pass our time! We went ahead and found the car and sat around in it with the nice heater. Oh yeah! While we in the car we went ahead and listened to the book on tape we have been listening to since the beginning of the trip. After aout and hour of that we got out to let Abby to play at the park and to use the porter potty. After about and hour of wandering around a little we went to the money drawing. WE WON NOTHING! So we went ahead back to Aunt Kathy's house. On the way home we stopped at Sonic to get a snack ( that's a southern thing ) and went home. When we got home I went out to drive the gater around. Oh yeah! And I went around all day doing nothing. This evening we went out to eat and we had alot of fun. I will see you all soon, bye.

Kentucky!

Just yesterday I drove down to Kentucky with Aunt Shaga and Abby. Because of this I got to miss 2 days of school. So day one: we left at about 9:am and drove, and drove, and drove, and drove, for a long time. After a while we stopped to get gas. So we got back in the car and drove all the way to Cincinnati and ate lunch. We ate at a Taco Bell. We had no idea what we were getting our selves into. We walked in and it was a little scary. So we got out ASAP! We pulled into a random parking lot and ate our lunch. And so our trip continued. We drove, and drove, and drove, and drove, all the way to the Louisville zoo where my second cousin works. We got to the zoo right at closing time. So we got a tour of the zoo in a golf cart with no one around. Instead of a tour it was more like this is here and this is here as we drove around. Well anyway, we finally got to the good part, (drum role boom, boom, boom, boom!!) petting elephants! It was great. I got to pet the world famous Scotty and his mother Mikki. Just recently they were in the People magazine. As most of you would guess, they were a little rough. When we finished that we hopped back in the golf cart and and started to head back. On the way we were told that they were redoing the polar bear habitat. And what is so exiting about that is the polar bears are at the Cleveland zoo! Now isn't that cool or what! Well we got back in the car after a bathroom break and on the rode again. This time we made it all the way down to the farm, hallelujah! And I stayed up all night and watched TV. The next morning I woke up and ate breakfast, took a shower, brushed my teeth, put deodorant on.......uh oh. I think I forgot something. :) So anyway I went to lunch with Aunt Shaga's BFF and had fun ( trying to sweat as little as possible. After lunch we went to check out the 5K course I am running tomorrow. After that we went to Kroger to get pasta and of course deodorant. We went around Bowling Green KY which were I was. We went around three ( or as you would know as four) to get computer chips and tags for the big race tomorrow. After that we went ahead and went back to the farm. I took a short walk around the farm and that is about it. I will update tomorrow about the race, till then see ya :)

Happpy Birthday To Me!

2008-07-28T00:01:00.002-04:00

Today is my birthday, as most of you know. I am a dozen years old now and going into seventh grade. Yesterday was my birthday party which was filled with fun. Pretty much just family was there.
The farthest away birthday I remember was 8 years ago, my forth birthday, which was celebrated at Nickle Plate beach on the coast of lake Erie. The only present I remember getting was a Buzz Light Year action figure. I remember having alot of fun that day. My forth birthday party is the one that sicks out to me the most, though I don't know why.

At my 12th party the present that I like the most was a new bed set( bedsheets? Who invited that kid?). No offense to the other people that gave me other wonderful presents that I will no doubt enjoy.

This year I will be doing my first year at middle school. At the beginning of the year I am the same age as most people in my class, but at the end of the year I am usually the youngest in my class:( Some times people are amazed that I am so young and in that grade, at the end of the year.
This Fall I am going to be running Cross Country. Today I have my first practice, I get cramps in the legs just thinking about it. I think it is going to be fun and I hope I enjoy it. Even though running can be painful it's what I love doing. Well until next time this is Thaddeus!

No, No, No -- Poofy.

This morning I was going about my business, doing my paper route. I had not yet fixed my hair for the day and I was out and about. I take my papers in loads on Saturdays because they are usually pretty heavy. After I finished the first load I went back home. I looked in the mirror, and boy was my hair a mess! I walked in the Family room to get the rest of the papers, JR, Doodle Bug and Little Buddy were all sitting in there playing together (a miracle!) I said "Hi every one, today you can call me Poofy Head." Little Buddy looked up to me and said,"Hi Poopy Head!" I couldn't believe him. JR burst out in laughter! He dashed to the other room where Dear Mother was, he told her what had happened and she to burst out in laughter. Now that I think about it, I guess it is pretty funny. Even if Little Buddy calls me names like that, I will still love him. So, any one who sees me after you read this post, PLEASE DON'T CALL ME POOPY HEAD!

I Love Winter

2008-03-15T11:59:00.001-04:00

You Belong in Winter

Quiet, calm, and totally at peace...

You're happy to be at home, wrapped in a blanket, completely snowed in

Whether you're lighting a fire or having a snowball fight, you always feel best in the winter.

What Season Are You?

I Love This You Tube!

WOW!!!

2008-01-21T13:51:00.000-05:00

I am amazed at how I let my closet room get so messy! I just didn't feel like doing it every time it crossed my mind. It was a complete and total disaster. So today everything got way too piled up. I just couldn't handle it anymore. I had a lot of help from my cousin Werdna. And if you are wondering that is my first pink shirt in the floor.

A mess in the floor
A very dirty desk.
How did I let my bed get this way?!
That is very very badI can see my floor now!!!!!!!!!!
SSooo much better.
I think she approves of it.
I can get in my dresser now! It looks great doesn't it?!

I always thought I hated basketball till I was introduced to the Harlem Globetrotters. I had a chance to go to one of their games Saturday. Every one said I would love it. So I went ahead, took my probably only chance, and went.

When we got there I was not very impressed before the game. When they ran out I thought it was pretty cool. I kept thinking that I would regret coming to the game. Then when the game started I was laughing all over. It was actually more like a circus than a basketball game! I loved all their jokes and tricks. I think it was a great experience. My favorite part was when one of the Globetrotters went up to a random lady and took her purse. After that he put in the hands of a guy on the opposite team. Then he started laughing at him and said " Ha ha! Look at him he's got a purse!" After a while he took it back to the lady and made her come up and dance.

There were also many other very funny things that happened. This is just one. I wish to go back and see them again. Until next time- see you later.

We are family!

My Soccer Life

2007-10-30T19:12:00.001-04:00

Hi every body! I don't think I ever told you I play soccer. I play soccer on a travel team. It is fun but sometimes it gets kind of hard. I am a little sad because soccer season is over. Now I have to wait till next spring to be able to play again. I started soccer when I was about five years old in a rec. league. For many years I played in that league. Then when I was ten, I was offered to go to try outs for a travel team. So of course I went. After the try outs the coach said I didn't make the team so I was very sad. After about a month the coach called back and said I actually did make the team! I was so exited. Our first season was really bad. I think it was because we had just moved up a division. The season after (which was this past season) was a whole lot better. This time we won four out of eight games which was a huge improvement. I am very confident that next season we will be able to move up a division. I love soccer!

My Silly Dog!

2007-10-28T15:00:00.000-04:00

Yesterday I was bored so I was just sitting around petting my dog. Then she rolled over on her back completely. I looked at her teeth , and it looked like she was smiling when I looked at her from an upside down position. I started laughing so hard so I ran for the camera. I took the picture and told my dear mother that that was totally what I was going to post about tomorrow. he!he! I crack myself up!

Hmmmmmmmmmmm?

I really don't no when this picture was taken, but it is of my father and it very interesting.

Closet And Room

2007-10-26T18:12:00.000-04:00

Most people don't believe when I tell them I sleep in the closet. The reason for this is because I share a room with three other people, Little Buddy, Puk Puk, and Doodle Bug. To get a little privacy, I sleep in a big closet. I took some picures of it to prove it.

This is a picture of my room from outside.

This is the part that actually looks like a closet.

Just a little corner in my room.

Looking from the inside to the outside.

Thomas

2007-10-25T22:24:00.000-04:00

In request of SuperK I have make a post about Thomas. Let me introduce Thomas to you, Thomas is my small green ipod shuffle. I got him a few weeks ago and SuperK thinks I am upset with him. Ok well maybe I am a little upset with him but oh well. About two days before I actually got him, I randomly decided I was going to get an ipod for the fun of it. Two days later I got him! On the way home Aunt Rachel asked me,"what are you going to name him?" For some reason the first name that popped in my head was Thomas. So that that is what SuperK meant on her comment a couple of days ago on my fist post. Alright back to the day I got him. When I first got home with him I figured I would let Aunt Rachel download some songs on it since she knew a lot about ipods. That night when I was listening to him a strange song started playing. The song I was listening to was a strange song about all the different countries of Central America, so of course I fast forwarded to the next song. And me and Thomas lived happily ever after, until later that night. When I was laying in bed listening to Thomas sing to me another strange song came up, but this time it was all the continents and oceans. So of course I started to get annoyed so my dear mother tried to take them off, but she failed to succeed. So now I am stuck with weird songs on Thomas for long time. And now comes the part when I say Thomas and I lived happily ever after!

My first post

2007-10-23T17:05:00.001-04:00

Ready or not, here I come! The time has finally come, when I get a blog. What inspired me to get a blog was when pretty much my whole family got a blog. After they all got a blog I have been anxious to get one to. Some facts about my life is I play piano, I sing in choir and on the worship team at church, also I am in 6th grade and have three wonderful teachers. That is pretty much all I have to say about my life right now.

This is my family. I am the middle of 7 children. Three older and three younger, so the title, Somewhere in the Middle.
