What Happened on My 12th Birthday
By Josh
Hello! You are currently looking at text that was written by a brand new 12 year old! As the title states, this blog post is about what happened on my birthday. If you didn't see the title then now you know. Here is what happened:
AM
5:45: I wake up
6:45: I fall back asleep
7:30: I am re-awoken by my family coming in singing "Happy Birthday To You". Dad is holding homemade Maple and Chocolate (not Maple-Chocolate. Half of them are Maple and half of them are Chocolate) donuts that are shaped to spell "HAPPY 12th B-DAY JOSHUA" (now the donuts spell "H 2 B JOUA")
8:00: Dad goes to work
8:15: Jeremiah brings in a piece of paper and an envelope. He asks me "Present or Cursive first?" I say "Cursive" and he hands me the piece of paper. It reads "Happy Birthday Bro!" in cursive. Next, he hands me the envelope. I open the envelope and it has a card inside. The card has about 5 different pictures of Yoshi on it. Inside it says "I'm going to get you the Bayonetta and Clock Tower Smash Bros. DLC!" (We don't play Bayonetta games. He just got it because it is the newest SSB DLC)
8:30: We start playing with the new DLC Jeremiah got me.
10:15: We start getting ready to go
10:16: Nathaniel starts being a pain
10:45: Dad gets home
11:30: We get going to go find 4 Geocaches and then place our cache
11:45: We get out to find Geocache #1 of the day
11;50: We find it
11:52: We get back in car to go to Geocache #2
PM
12:01: We reach what we thought was going to be Geocache #2 until we find out it's in a parking garage
12:04: We reach a different Geocache #2
12:22: We find it
12:24: We get going to Nicks Jr. for lunch
12:50: We get going to Geocache #3
12:54: We reach Geocache #3
12:55: We find Geocache #3
12:57: We get going to Geocache #4
1:00: We reach Geocache #4
1:04: We find Geocache #4
1:06: We go home
1:21: We get home
1:45: Nathaniel takes a nap
2:00: Jeremiah and I are allowed to play for another hour
3:10: I open the other presents and get this list: $40, A game called Ivan's Hinge, A math coloring book, and a Playstation Plus 1 Year Membership
3:30: We get done with the PS Plus stuff and Dad teaching me about it
3:45: We start looking for a place to hide our Geocache
4:00: We find the perfect place
4:45: We finish posting our Geocache
5:15: I start reading in my room
6:30: I have dinner
6:45: I go to my youth group
8:00: I have a cupcake
8:35: I go home
8:55:We read
9:15: I talk with Mom
10:00: I go to bed
This concludes my birthday. I had a good time. I hope you enjoyed the blog post. The Cache we made is this.

My Favorite Under 5 Minute Timed Game
By Josh
This is easily my favorite game that I have done on Chess.com. The fact that we managed to get this done in a 3 minute timer is still blowing my mind today! Here is the game. (I played mathkid1)

Chickens Are Awesome!
By Jeremiah the fifth grader
Whenever you need company, and they are okay with it you can catch one and pet it! When mom boots us outside, sometimes we catch one(, or two ), hold it, and pet it. Once you buy them and raise them ( I'd suggest you get three or more, because just like you chickens can get lonely too, and you can buy them almost all the way grown!) you get free eggs until they stop laying! We have three chickens and we're taking in about two eggs per day! Chickens are SO much fun to give treats to! I was thinking about making a "For-the-birds Feeder"from the ''Cheerio Cookbook'' but instead of putting birdseed, putting some chicken treat mix on it. Chickens are awesome, and if you want to try it out for yourself, you can, if its legal where you live!

these are all of the people, and when they come out
If you have played portal 2:
there is a LOT of stuff you need the portal 2 pack for! I just bought the Scooby-Doo and Shaggy team pack and it is quite useful, and I mean it! What I think the pack that is most useful would have to be the wonder woman fun pack! I am going to list off all of the characters that are out right now Batman Gandalf, andWyldstyle come in the starter pack Marty Mcfly (BttF) Chell (portal 2) Homer (simsons) Owen (jurassic) ACU Trooper (jurassic) Scooby-doo (Scooby) shaggy ( Scooby) wonder woman (DC) Cyborg (DC) Emmet (Lego movie) Bad Cop (Lego movie) benny (Lego movie) Jay (ninjago) nya (ninjago) zane (ninjago) gollum (LotR) legolas (LotR) gimly (LotR) laval (Chima) Cragger (Chima) Eris (Chima) Wicked Witch (Oz) The docter (Dr. who) cole (ninjago) Kai (ninjago) bart (simsons) Krusty (simsons) unikitty (Lego movie)

Tips for Minecraft Combat
By Josh
Hi! I am here writing this blog post about Minecraft Combat (hence the title) and I am just trying to use them well. I hope these tips help up your combat. There is one thing that you need to do to help, PRACTICE! These tips will only help you a little if you don't try them out! Here they are.

SWORD COMBAT
PVP
- Try to sneak up on people, there are plenty of ways, but you just need to choose one
- Try to get free hits in, as they will set your opponent lower then you, and you will have a higher chance of winning. Jumping works miracles at doing this.
- In a rough map, platforming is key. You don't want to take fall damage where your opponent did!
- Yet again, stealth works well.
- Try to run circles around monsters (besides Endermen or Creepers) and hit them while they can't hit you
- Don't get stuck in water (except if you're fighting Endermen, in that case you DO want to be in water) while they're out of it. this creates problems where there weren't any.
AXE COMBAT
See SWORD COMBAT
SHOVEL COMBAT
See SWORD COMBAT
HOE COMBAT
See SWORD COMBAT
BOW COMBAT
PVP
- Snipe from high up
- Try to shoot fully charged shots FAST
- Don't shoot at any angle higher then 45 degrees
- Snipe from at least 32 blocks away
- Try to shoot fully charged shots FAST
- Don't shoot at any angle higher then 45 degrees
- Don't shoot Endermen
Grammy and Papa are comin' to town
By Josh
Hi! How is everybody? (Please don't try to yell through the screen. I tried it and it never works. Unless you want to get annoyed neighbors which is nice!) So, later today (around 6-ish) our Grammy and Papa are going to arrive and stay here for 1 1/2 weeks (exactly)! Grammy has cancer so this is going to be (unless a miracle happens) the last time we see her (in person). I'm hoping that this will be a fun time even with everything that is going on. We don't have many (not nothing, we do have a few) plans. So, I will try to be as positive as I possibly can while they are here. I hope everybody will also have a good week (and a half (-:)! Blog Post end.

12th Birthday: Coming Soon to Me
By Josh
Hello! As you heard from the title, my birthday is coming soon! Feb. 24 is when my age goes from 11 to 12! The one thing I can never do is to be awake the minute that I was born (4:27 AM). I have never gotten even REMOTELY close (Curse you sleepiness!)! My party will be on the 27th and will be Super Smash Brothers themed! We will be doing it rather small because next year will be a big year. I will be looking forward to it until it happens. I hope you have enjoyed this blog post!

Calvin and Hobbes
By Jeremiah the fifth grader
"Calvin and Hobbes" is a old school comic strip. They took a bunch of them, and made them into books. We just got a new one, it's called: "Something Under the Bed is Drooling." If you go to a local thrift store, and go to the humor section of the book part of the store enough, odds are you are going find quite a few of them (we go to the Value Village near us). We have quite the collection of Calvin and Hobbes books. I'm going list off all of our books. We have: "Calvin and Hobbes," the "Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book," "Yukon Ho!," "The Essential Calvin and Hobbes," "The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes," "Weirdos From Another Planet!," "There's Treasure Everywhere," and "The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes."
