Camping in Julian

Last weekend we went to a campground in Julian. It rained all day on Saturday and snowed all night. On the day we were leaving it was very cold . I took a couple pictures while we were there.

Mission Inn

Saturday night we saw the lights at The Mission Inn in Riverside with our friends Mady, Jack Chad, Belle, Mary, Jared, and their uncle and Aunt. Before we went to see the lights they came and ate dinner with us. Me and jake played video games on the play station 2 that we have. Ten we drove for a while and parked in a parking lot, we started walking and the lights were absolutely incredible. We had a lot of fun, we went in to the mission inn for little bit and then we went to get something to eat. It was really fun. I ate a gigantic Sunday with my dad and drank some hot chocolate. It was really cold and the hot coco made me a lot warmer. The Sunday was was absolutely delicious. Then we started back to were we had parked Then we said good-by to each other and they went back to there house and we went back to our own house. It had been a fun and exiting day with our very special friends.

Logan's Candy Store

On Dec. 17 we went to Logan's Candy Store in Ontario with our grandpa, The people in the store were going to show us exactly how to make candy canes step-by-step. It was pouring out side when we got there so we went inside. For a couple minutes we watched the people cut, shape, and then package. Then they started explaining how to make candy canes. First they poured a very hot mixture which was sugar & corn syrup and then cooled it down. They divided it into two batches. One became the red part and the other white, they stretched the yellow one on a big hook until it became white. Then he layed a big circle of dark red stuff and patted it on top of the white candy cane, and Then he counted five stripes and layed them on the other side of the candy cane. After that he made part of it skinny under a heater and then twisted it and cut it off with scissors. Then the other people shaped them into hearts and then stored them into bags. And that is how to make candy canes. Bye!

December 19th

My 3 year Diagnosis anniversary was on Dec. 19th 2005. I've have now been a diabetic for three years! We went to Chuck E Cheese's. Alex and I got a whole lot of tickets and we saved them all, we got over 400 tickets! It was a really fun day!

disneyland with the Gerums

Spencer Here! A couple of days ago my family and I went to Disneyland with the Gerums (Gus, Cooper, Chaz, their mom Cristen , and their dad curt) but there dad and Chaz didn't come. When our family came into Disneyland we sat down on the bricks with the Gerums to decide with ride we should go on first. Before we decided which ride Cristen gave Alex, Samantha, and I a presents, gift cards to Disneyland and rings for the girls. My mom got a anklet also. That was really nice of them. After that we decided to go to Space mountain and Samantha was barely tall enough to ride. It was awesome. Mom and I thought that Samantha would be terrified but she actually loved it! I forgot some of the rides we went on so I'm going to talk about all of the rides that I remember. We all went on Star tours, Thunder Mountain, Buzz lightyear. It closed early that day so we saw the fireworks and the snow at 6:00. Then we ate at a El Pollo Loco. Mmmmm. Then we went to are grandma's and grandpa's house to spend the night. And that was our day... bye!

December 9, 2008 - December 10, 2008

Hi! it's Spencer again. Today I woke up and I made pancakes with Alex for my family. When we all finished eating we drove to are close friends, Mady, Jack, Chad, Their mom Mary, and their dad Jared Baker. when I got in-side I asked their mom where jack was she said that their at school, she also said that she should be picking them up right now. And she left out the door... she came back into the house about in ten minutes. I went out side and their was Mady, jack, and chad. Their was also two of Mady's friends. When Jack saw me he ran in and put is back pack wherever he usually puts it and zoomed back out and we played in the jumper for Belle's birthday, too bad it was a princess castle. But it was really fun anyways. Then Jack and I went to see their new lizard Spikes. He was cool. We jumped in the jumper for about an hour and then I got to ride one of the motorcycles they have. I went around half of their street two times and it was really fun. By that time it was getting dark outside so we went in the house, And then Jack and I had a cool idea. We grabed two pillows from the couch and snuck out to the jumper and... PILLOW FIGHT!!! I fell out of the jumper a couple times and one time I fell in a little puddle of juice. But that didn't stop me from fighting. Pretty soon Chad came to fight to. The coolest time while I fell out of the jumper pillow fighting was when I was Running toward Jack to get him and he ran to the side and I flew out of the jumper and onto the Step part of the jumper and then when I stood up I don't really renember what happened but I think that at the same time chad and jack fell out to and we all made a big hump and I was at the very bottom. After a while we got board and had another idea... Soccer in the jumper! Chad and I against Jack. we played to 30 and Jack won, the score was 29 to 30. When were in the middle of our second game Mady and her freind came and wanted to play so we decided to play baby soccer, Boys against girls. You can only use your hands and you try to trow the soccer ball into there goal and block the ball with your hand. When the came came to pick up the jumper we had to get out and go inside. We ate dinner and then I showered and got ready for bed. When I was ready Mady, Jack, Chad, Alex, and I tossed Balls and whoever threw a bad toss or missed a good one stood out until some one from the other group messed up and then the winners moved on to the championship. We played a while and and then got into bed. That will be all for today.

The story of the candy cane

Have you ever heard the story of the candy cane, if not here is how it goes. Hold a candy cane and turn it in your hand, what letter does it remind you of? If you guessed a broken N your wrong. It should remind you of the letter J. J for Jesus, now turn it upside-down and now what does it remind you of? It should remind you of a Shepperd's staff. The red stripe on the candy cane represents jusus' blood when he died on the cross. He sacrificed himself so we could live with him again. The white stripe represents that when we get baptized our sins get washed away and our body is pure white and clean like when you were born. And that's the story of the candy cane.
