This past week my family and I celebrated my birthday. It was a blast! In our family, when it is our birthday, we get to choose all of the meals and activities of the day. So on my birthday I started us all out with chocoloate, chocolate chip oatmeal with raisens. After we got all cleaned up (My little brother had to change his shirt after dropping too much chocolate oatmeal on his shirt!) we jumped into the van and went used book hunting! This is one of my most favorite acitivities. We found over 25 books all together. I also found a great 500 piece puzzle of a Native American wolf warrior. We have had the best time putting it together over the past couple of days. When we finished my Mom helped me glue it onto a carboard frame so that I can hang it up in my bedroom.
I also found a special, two-disc edition of Jonah (A Veggie Tale movie), which all of my little wolflings will enjoy. They love the pirate veggies in this movie.
For lunch my grandpa joined us at Hong Kong 97 for some excellent chinese food. My favorite dishes are eggrolls and chicken fried rice. I was thrilled to open two of my birthday gifts at lunch. One was my own copy of the Voyage of the Dawn Treader dvd - the other, and so far my all time favoriate gift EVER, was the Schleitch Bayala dragon and rider. I call the rider Dragon Prince and I have made him one of the central characters in my story. I wonder if Donita K. Paul has seen this dragon and rider!?!
For dinner, on my birthday, we ate cake and ice cream. I say, why waste time with other food when you can go straight to the cake and ice cream! Then we watched my new Voyage of the Dawn Treader movie of coarse!
It was a great day!

Some Of The Waiting Is Finally Over
As we are in the middle months of the year, some of the books I have waited for have finally come out. Here is a list of the ones that have already come out and I have read:
Monsters In The Hollow, by Andrew Peterson - This book was definitely worth the wait. The good news, there is a book four in the works. The bad news, it won't come out until late 2011 or early 2012 and it will finish this amazing series.
Warrier, by Bryan Davis - This book is a sort of co-series to Tales From Starlighter, only aimed at a younger audience. It was a good book and I really enjoyed it.
Tales From Starlighter, by Bryan Davis - This book was more of an adult level book, so my alpha female read it to me, editing out some content as neccessary. When I am older I will be allowed to read it on my own.
The Map Accross Time, by C.S. Lakin - This books seemed like it was a stand alone story and not really connected to the first book in the series, The Wolves of Tiabron, until you get to the end of the book. At the end of the book there are some details revealed that help you to see how the stories are connected. It also was a really good book.
The Birthing Tree, by William D. Burt - As always, Burt has knocked it out of the park again. The alpha female and I both agreed that this was more than likely the end of this series. Even though this book is Christian Fantacy, it is much more allegorical than any of the other series that I have read. I really enjoyed the new hawk-foxes, or sly-sorcs that the author introduced in this book.
The Ale Boy's Feast, by Jeffrey Overstreet - I did not feel that this book ended the series. I really think there should be another book after this one, but if the author says this is the last one in the series, then so be it. This series is more of a slow start, but once you get into the action it is hard to put down until you get to the end.
The Rogue Crew, by Brian Jaques - After being profoundly saddened that Brian Jaques died earlier this year, it was comforting to finally read the last book in this long and wonderful series. The Rogue Crew is the final book in the illustrious Redwall series, but only because the author is now deceased. The book definitely did not wrap up the series at all. I am hoping that somebody will stumble accross some notes from the the author and be able to perhaps peice together another book that will truely wrap up the Redwall series.
I will add to this list in the future and I will also list the books that I am still waiting to come out.

The Painful Wait for New Books!
I am excited that there are a lot of new books that are coming out this year. I have been waiting for some of them to come out for months and years. Here is the list of what I am impatiently waiting to read:
Song of the Ovulum , by Bryan Davis (June 1st release date)
Masters and Slayers, by Bryan Davis (actually came out last year but I haven't had a chance to read it yet. It is in the Tales from Starlighter series. This series is the same series as the Starlighter series. The first publisher dropped the series after the second book and Bryan Davis had to change the name of the series when he published the third book in the series.)
The Warrior, also by Bryan Davis (also already release, but I won't have access to a copy until March of this year. This book is the third book in the Tales from Starlighter series.)
The Map Accross Time, by C.S. Lakin (This is the second in the Gates of Heave sereis. It is supposed to be released in the spring of 2011.)
The Monsters in the Hollows, by Andrew Peterson (This has a release date of 2011, which really leaves it wide open for when I will finally get to read this book! It is the third in the Wingfeather Saga and I just about cannot wait to read it!)
Dragons of the Watch, by Donita K. Pual (This is the third in the Chiril Trilogy and it has a release date of 2012. Donita K. Paul is my absolute most favorite author ever and when I cannot bear to wait any longer for this new book, I re-read her previous seven books to hold me over. I have read them all at least five times I think.)
I also want to read the last three books in the Knights of Arethrae series.
There is a new series that my mom is reading to me but I don't know yet if is good as Donita K. Paul. We are only in the first book so far, but have it and two more sitting on the shelf waiting to read before the fourth one comes out later this year. It is the Epic of Karolan series, by Ari Heinze. The books are: Riding Against the Storm, Ashes of Our Joy, Rain, Wind and Fire, and the fourth one is to be called Darkness Gathers Round. The start to this first book was a little slow, but it is starting to pick up speed quickly now. It reminds me of L.B. Grahm's Binding of the Blade series in that it also started slow. However, the starting is not as confusing as L.B. Grahm's Binding of the Blade series was at the beginning.
Thats all for now,

Life Rank Court of Honor
Thursday, February 10th, was my Life Rank Court of Honor. I felt that it was a great success because everything that I had planned worked out, even if we did get started about a half an hour late. The ceremony only took maybe 10 to 15 minutes long.
I don't feel prideful that I got my Life Rank, but I sure do feel satisfied. I know that it wasn't all me to finish the requirements for this rank, it was my Lord, Jesus Christ, who gave me ability to be self motivated and get everything done. I give him all the glory.
I also want to thank my mom and my dad who helped me a great deal too. I am so thankful that my papa and myma were able to come as well, along with my bsa district director and one of my mentors in bsa as well. I won't post their names here as I don't know how they would feel about their names floating in the ethernet.
Now its on to climb the mountain to Eagle!

A New Schleich
When I was working on my Citizenship in the Community merit badge I decided to take pictures of places in my community for a photo exhibit presentation for requirement #8. While I was waiting for my pictures to be developed at Freddies I had time to check out some of the Schleich. I found the scenery pack with the husky family. It is one that I have been looking for for a long time. I photographed it and you can see this picture in this blog entry. It includes the father husky, the mother husky, and two husky pups. I had already previously bought one of the husy pups as a single, so I gave it to one of my wolfling brothers.
To me these huskies look a lot like Lord Imaj, his wife, Trina, and their two pups, Hendrick and Dendrick, which are characters in the book I am developing.
