Birthday/Finished

4-15-03

    Today was my birthday! I turn 12 right at the last bell rings so that's the best present of all. 

      I usually have a nice dinner after school. I choose to have my moms mini meatloaves. Imagine that there is a meat loaf, okay. Then make it the size that you could hold it in your hand. Then try to think of it as an egg with equal tips. So, you have a hand sized egg shaped meatloaf. So if you don't have that all in your head, go and reread. Then mix up barbecue sauce and ketchup. That sauce is gently glazed on and then you could eat them and eat them. You can see why they are my favorite.

          But this year we will have mini meatloaf (above) tomorrow. Tonight  we are going to Holly Stromboli. If you haven't been there you haven't lived. Try their meatball sliders, or there fried macaroni. And appetizers get you filled up before you even get your main dish. It started as Saint Jones but after that place held a lot of previous businesses it finally became a restaurant that is great. 

      Since me and my sister have birthdays that are so close together mom usually makes us split it so its cheaper. Last year it was my pick, and we went to a Denver Nuggets game. The Denver Nuggets destroyed Utah Jazz. But this year its Lindi's choice so it will be a crazy outcome.

      And this will be my first birth day as a uncle. Ezra was born on the 13th of April so that was very exciting. His mom, loves him and has a look in her eyes, its obvious they are one.
       And last but not least what I'm going to do at my dads!!! I plan to have all of my family and cousins there. I hardly ever see them since during the week I'm down here is Colorado with my mom. My parents are divorced. But the advantage of that is I get two birthdays. One from each parent. 
     So in conclusion I have very good birthdays. From meatloaf and dinner, to sharring and traveling. Hope you have a good birthday when you do! 

Wyoming

Wyoming

     Wyoming is such a wonderful place and where I was born. From Yellowstone to all the history behind it.
   
   It was the 44th state t join the union in 1890. But it was the first state to let women vote. It is the 10th largest state. and it has the smallest populationin the states of 550,000 residents.

   So my my home is on a ranch. This ranch is where I go on the weekends and grew up. Its in a valley and there is 6-7 other ranchers in it.It was originally homesteaded by my great great grandpa. He homesteaded 4-5 of the 6-7 ranchers. So it was very big. But some how we didn't keep it all. Anyways our ranch is over 15,000 thousand acres. We own 30 cattle. But the other 300 is Mr. Hisers. He has so many cows that he can't keep them all. We have a little portion. But no matter. My aunt and grandma has lots of horses.

    Yellowstone was the first national and world park in the United States of America. On March 1, 1872 was when this great place was established. U.S. Grant granted it to be a park (Ha, see what i did there) And the main attraction is a Old faithful. It erupts every 91 minutes. Yellowstone contains over 300 geysers along with Old Faithful. And another 350 waterfalls. It seems that it couldn't be more fun. Well when i went there it was amazing. The scenery and all the wildlife. We saw two grizzly bears and that was cool.
