Oh my! The bear land.

You won't believe what I saw face to face!! I was headed over to Dakota's house, using the rock path, and a black bear was running towards me! I stopped so suddenly. The bear did a u-turn in Dakota's yard, before he reached the path. It ran back into the woods, and I ran to Dakota's house. Good thing Lyndsey wasn't right with me. (She was still on the porch.) I probably won't see the bear ever again.
Mumma and Daddy have asked me if I feel scared. I said no because I knew God was with me.
Note from Sarah: This came days after watching "Over the Hedge" (which has a mean bear) and dealing with Lyndsey being afraid that the animals will come into our house to take our food. I had finally convinced them that the animals are going to be able to get into our house, and that there aren't any bears in our woods. Oops!

Adventures of Anderson and Dakota in Bee Land

Yesterday afternoon, Dakota and I were playing and we were out a little bit in the woods. Dakota stepped over a yellow jacket nest and then they came buzzing out. He leaped because he knew right away that they were yellow jackets, and I stood there until 1 stung me on hand. Then we both went running and crying to the house because they were still trying to sting us. We ran inside and brought like 6 of them inside. Lyndsey got stung 3 times too (from the ones that came in the house). I got 10 stings, but I was so brave. I let Grammie put baking soda and water on me, not like Dakota. He thought it was going to hurt. Lyndsey wouldn't let Grammie put it on her either. The baking soda helps a little bit, but the ibuprofin helped more. My hand and cheek still hurt some at bedtime.

It was hard for me to fall asleep because when I closed my eyes, I kept thinking yellow jackets were going to come out from under my bed. But eventually I fell asleep.

The End.

My Tooth

I lost my tooth when I was eating an apple at Aunt Dawn's house. It came right out and it didn't even bleed and I didn't even know it. It didn't hurt either. It will soon come out in my p-o-o-p.
We're going to make a paper tooth and write a note to the tooth fairy. We'll write, "This is a fake tooth 'cause I swallowed mine. Will you still give me money? Bye-bye!"

I'm a legit fisherman

I participated in my first fishing tournament this past weekend and you know what? I won. Yup I won the whole thing. I got first place. Of everyone that was there, I caught the biggest fish. I caught a 7.25" perch. That beat my dad (who came in second) by .25". I ended up winning a gift certificate to walmart. I bought some legos (the rescue helicopter). I am so stoked. I can't wait to win again next year. By the way Lyndsey came in a close 4th. So not quite a clean sweep for the Levasseur's, but close.

My Mom's Scar

Check out my mom's scar. She had cancer removed from her femur. They cut out a large portion of her femur and replaced it with a piece of stainless steal. It isn't magnetic though. She had to learn to walk all over again. I am now faster than she is.
