Ni-nite...Cameron's new game

So Cameron has a new game, which is very fun to play. In this game, Cameron is the boss. When he says "ni-night", we have to stop what we are doing and close our eyes. We can't move until he roars or scares us. If we do move before he scares us he keeps saying "ni-nite, ni-nite, ni-nite". It's really fun! He's so hilarious. We also found out that he does it when we are annoying him in some way. For example, when I pick him up and swing him around, (which he normally likes) and he doesn't want me to, he says "ni-nite" and I have to put him down. Then he runs away. It's fun stuff! I love Crammon!

I done got tagged...again. (we watch too much Cars)

So my cousin Kasie (check our hers, she's crazy! j/k) tagged me. These are 7 random/weird facts about me...

1) I have severe arachnophobia. Well, maybe just moderate to severe (depending on the size and kind of spider). I am not scared of daddy long legs at all, but I hate all others. This is funny because on my mission, we used to catch them and feed them roaches. If I were to go back to Korea and see these spiders that we caught, I would probably freak out. They were pretty big. Their bodies were probably about 2 or 3 inches and their legs were about 4. They were long, yellow and black, and their heads were silver, and if you get close enough, they looked like skulls (seriously). Way freaky. Another weird thing is that I can look at pictures, but when they are real, I can't. Here is what they look like:








2) I like the feeling of being scared when I watch scary movies, but I hate haunted houses or anything that is real and right in front of me.

3) I'm obsessed with killing people in video games, but in real life, I wouldn't hurt a fly.

4) When I was younger, one of my nicknames was Hollywood because my hair had to be perfect. I don't care as much now though... (this is Becca, he DOES care as much now....)

5) I used to could do a purty good Sean Connery impersonation, but I lost it. I don't know why, but I just can't do it very good anymore.

6) I'm obsessed with the word indubitably. When I was little, like 5 or 6, there was a Crispy Critters cereal commercial that had the word indubitably in it. It's awesome. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bmIKrU2jQU

7) And finally.....I can squeak. Yes, it is true, I can make a really high pitched sound from my throat. If you wan to hear it, you have to ask me to to it...and give me a dollar!


Well, that just a few of the many weird things about me. I tag, Becca, Mom, Dad, Missy, Casey, and Mallory. Have a good day.

I love Cameron!



I never imagined how much I could love somebody. Cameron is my favorite pal. He's sooo hilarious. I love his little personality. He has the cutest smile and the best laugh I have ever seen and heard. (Thanks Becca!) He gets all of his good qualities from him mother. He make me smile everyday. Though there are times I get mad at him, all I have to do is see his innocent little face and everything is okay. How could you not smile when you see his face!? It is physically impossible.

A Hero for Education


Today in my multicultural education we watch a film called Road to Brown. It was about the segregation that the African-Americans faced in the 1950s. The main case the we learned about was Brown vs. Board of Education. This man, Charles Hamilton Houston played a major role in preparing for this case, which led to the desegregation of schools and equal educational opportunities for African-American students, for the most part. I just couldn't imagine being a teacher back then, and seeing these black students not receiving the best education possible. They showed film of these students before the case, and after. You could really tell the difference just in their faces when they combined and were equal. This case overthrew the Plessy v. Ferguson case which stated that as long as the separate facilities for the separate races were "equal," the segregation did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment ("no state shall... deny to any person... the equal protection of the laws.") To me, "separate, but equal" contradicts itself. How could you possibly say that these kids were receiving "equal" education when they had separate schools. That is just ridiculous. I'm sure many people don't know who Charles Houston is. I didn't until today. But he has become a hero to me.

Another thing. I don't understand why this was even an issue when Congress passed the 14th Amendment more the 50 years earlier. As stated above, it guaranteed equal protection of the law to each American citizen. Weren't these people concidered citizens? I think they were. Anyway. It is sad that we still live in a world were people face racial discrimination. I live up to what our Founding Fathers said in the Constitution, that all men are created equal. We shouldn't judge people based on their race, or what I would rather call it, ethnicity. We are all of the same race. We are all human. Well, that's all I have to say about that...

Oh no....were in a financial crisis....wait...no were not, really!

Sure, we may be in a "financial crisis" according to the media, but just as Dave Ramsey says, everyone needs to take a chill pill. Check out this article about Dave's thoughts about the economy. He makes a good point that the one in the early 80s was worse than this one, and hey look, we are still alive. Anywho, that's my thoughts about this anyway. If anyone is concerned with what is happening, you should read Dave's article. Go Dave!
