My Great Great Aunt Viola

One week ago my great great aunt Viola passed away. Now I didn't really know Viola that well, but from what I have heard of her she was a extraordinary woman. Today I went to the memorial for her. Also at the memorial I reconnected with my extended family, including my aunt Nancy, my cousin Emily,and all my other family. Now I know that my aunt Nancy will be reading this so shout out to the Nance . I also would like to say thank you, Patricia Anderson, Bob Anders, and Barbara Gomas.

Sincerely,
Mace

Frost Cloud

Hello all,
I am sorry about not posting for a while.
In this entry I will tell you about the frost cloud.
It is  very foggy and cold , all the trees that fall into it's grasp turn white from Ice.  Every time we go out, we marvel at how pretty the trees are.  Once the wind hits them they start turning white.
Once they turn white, they look like humongous snowmen. With there branches swaying it almost looks like they're alive and dancing.

Sincerely,
Mace

The Mt. of Bend Part 2

Instead of the mountains undergoing a change, Bend has. Two days ago I woke up to big pile of snow outside. To me that was like having a lifetime of candy. So I quickly piled multiple jackets and pants, then I got my sleds and went out. Once I got out, it came to my mind that it was too cold to be outside. So I ran inside and looked at the temperature on the computer, the reading was 0. That's when I realized that I was freezing. So I piled on more coats and a blanket, and cuddled up. When I went back outside, I realized that there was not enough snow to sled in. Disappointed and cold, I went in, wishing I could go sledding. A few days later I got my wish. I went out back with my sleds and sled the rest of the day. Now it has melted, so I am kind of freaking out. I think the mountains have snow. Well, it's more like, I hope the mountains have snow.

My First Fight

My winning metal
Yesterday I had my first boxing match.
It was in Portland Oregon, To make it to the weigh ins I had to leave with my boxing team at 6 o clock in the morning. To me that was very early, compared to getting up around 8. I ran into a lot of people I knew from my old gym that day. Then my fight came, it was the first one. It was against one the members of the Superstar clan. A enormous family that has some of the best boxers. I knew the kid was part of the clan, because his mother was shouting at full force.
Luckily I ended up winning..

Gato


Okay so we get home from shopping, and there is this cat so we let him in because he has no tags. Then he starts going insane and attacking us for food. For us that was just too far for being in our house for only 5 minutes so we took him out and said go back home and he went.

The greatest book on earth.

I have just recently finished the book "Into Thin Air." It is without out a doubt one of the best books I have ever read. The story of Beck Weathers, Rob Hall, Scott Fischer,and Yasuka Namba
Are the saddest and heroic ones ever. To be presumed dead at least 5 times. Amazing. Out of 8 clients who started out climbing mount Everest only 2 made it to the summit and back down.
This book has something alive about it, something you can never really put your finger on, something that intrigues everybody.
I would recommend this book to anyone over 9 and a half

poker

I have found  a liking for poker. 
Even though he is in Columbia my friend Robert  ( who most of you already met) offered to teach me.  So now almost every other night we go onto this website called Pokerstars.net I am learning the different hands. I have only learned Texas hold em style. I  think that is the main style. I want to learn the other styles to, though. With Robert's help though, I might actually be able to learn them.
