My poem with my fav word in it.

I would chuckle at you and sneer “Oh Snap” when I’m right
I will shout “That’s epic!” when I get a glimpse at something cool, and I will be stoked to get my hands on it.
I can’t be Poifect all the time but I’ am Spectacular,
I can try to camouflage in and be normal, but that’s not easy as ABC.
Fudge is my favorite but I would scream Eeek! If it slipped out of my hands.
But if we all loved we could bring Peace to the world

Dear Santa,

Does Rudolph like peanut butter cookies? Well that’s what will be outside for the reindeers. Don't worry I will leave some cookies and milk for you too, remember to eat them all before my uncle does. Speaking of my uncle, don't mind him on the couch. He will probably be sleeping....and snoring. Oh and the fire will be going so DO NOT GO DOWN THE CHIMNEY!!!! The Christmas tree will be located by the patio door, by rain's dish. Now for my list of things I want, k well first of all I would LOVE a wii. That would be awesome! Something that would make my Christmas/boxing day/new years would be a horse trailer. I would love a project horse for the winter that would be a prospect to roping, barrels, poles, and goat tying. Well that’s all so MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND HAVE A GOOD NIGHT!

Truly your best child in the whole world

P.S. My brother will have a tree in the basement. Just so you don't forget a Christmas tree. Now that would be bad.
HAVE A GREAT NIGHT

I Saw Daddy Kissing Mrs. Claus


I saw Daddy kissing Mrs. Claus Underneath the Christmas tree last night.
She didn't see me leap Down the stairs to have a peek; She thought that I was grounded alone up in my room
Then, I saw daddy turn away from Mrs. Claus so harshly and said “goodbye”
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Mommy had only seen Daddy ditch Mrs. Claus last night.

Have you ever thought that an animal could change your life or get you into something you never knew about? Probably not, but at the end of my story. I think you should be able to believe it.
It all started when my grandpa got a new boarding horse. She was gorgeous, soft, and cuddly. She was my favorite, she was a black pony that was pregnant at the time but she was still the most beautiful horse. After a couple months the owners started to not pay rent. And my grandpa’s rule is the “if you don’t pay boarding then my grandpa gets the horse.” My grandpa got the horse but once she had her baby the owners the baby and left him the horse. He diden’t want her. His girlfriend didn’t want her. But I did she was my dream horse. She was perfect, she was not to tall for me, she was nice and calm, and she was beautiful. She was all I ever wanted. I loved her.
As I woke up to the sun on my eyes on a Saturday morning I could hear my mom rushing around the house cleaning up. I wondered why she was in such a hurry to make the house clean? Wait what was today, it was my birthday! I must have had such a good sleep that I forgot. I was going to be a 2 digit number, 10! After I got my presents my mom drove me over to my grandpa’s to get my present from him. Wow the horse look beautiful she had braids in her hair and she was out of her pen. She was my birthday present!
I kept her there for awhile, until I brought her home and I heard about barrels, I showed her the pattern and she ran right away. Without me even guiding her. She was my dream horse, she was perfect. She showed me the life I’m wining $100 in now from barrel racing. Just from one horse.
Now can u see a horse changing your life? Well I could see it all along. But she was my “Dream Horse”

My life is all about horses, every weekend until thanks giving weekend I’m busy doing horse stuff. Like rodeo’s, gymkhanas and barrel races. I have two horses, one is 11 and the other is about 27-28. I only ride my 11 year old kitkat because my 27 year old midnight is too old to do anything on so I only exercise her. When I go to rodeos I do barrels, poles, breakaway, and goats. Barrels are a pattern with 3 barrels, poles is a pattern with 6 poles and you weave in and out. Breakaway is when you case a cow down and try to catch it and goats is when you flip a goat and tie 3 legs. That’s my life.

I would rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.
