Currently, I am spending mornings with my mother working out at our local gym. I need to get in shape as the school year starts back up. I also enjoy participating in my local Boy Scout Troop. I’m going on my third year, and have earned ”bragging rights” to my friends and family.

Fishing is a family tradition between my dad, my older brother Jacob, and me. We are purely fresh water fishers, and mainly use “Spin Bait.”

I like throwing balls for and petting my 3 Golden Retreivers, always constant fun. (Even when the youngest chews on my clothes). The 3 dogs are: Champ, the oldest and “Daddy dog,” Cookie, the middle dog and mother of Buddy, the youngest. Every once and while, my sister comes over and brings her Penny, Buddy’s sister. She makes a round pack of four – quite a load of dogs!

Every Sunday, I go to youth group. It’s always really fun because I have friends my age and a little younger, and the counselors are awesome! My counselors John and Taylor are easy to hang around and give Godly advice. Both of my older siblings also grew up in the same youth group.

During school, band is a source of entertainment and the teachers are always interesting to be around. I play Bass Clarinet which is a very unique instrument and really fun to play. I’m also in a martial arts program called, “Kick Start.” Amazingly enough, it was founded by Chuck Norris! Here I am with Chuck:

I’ve recently added some links to the “Blogroll” on the right of things I am a part of.

On Sunday afternoon, my sister Cheryl took me to Maki: a sushi restaurant which was surprisingly good! Each piece felt like flavor explosions like the 4th of July fireworks in my mouth!

At Maki, you build your own sushi. I got soft shell crab (which I thought was like clam). But when they put it on my sushi roll, I realized it was the WHOLE crab, legs and all! It was surprisingly good : )

I chose bean sprouts, carrots, and surprisingly flavorful strawberries to complement the crab. Of course, I had to use the traditional chop sticks to eat it with!

That afternoon, we visited with Isaac and Jessica and played UNO and other fun games!
