Cube World Radica

Hi! Me and my Mom found a Cube World Radica at Snapdragon Thrift. My brother Joey was so excited about the Cube World Radica he nearly flipped his head off! We got a Purple Bar Lift Cube (Slim).


We have a book called "Cool Stuff 2.0" that has a page about Cube World Radica.
I know that we can combine and connect Cube World Radica with magnets. 4 cube guys can fit inside a Cube World Radica!

For $1, this is the best toy ever! Joey and I are hoping to get some more so that we can watch the cubing action!

The Lego Mindstorms EV3 Robot

For Christmas, I got a Lego Mindstorms EV3 robot kit from Santa.  And I was excited! I love robots! So, a couple of days later, mom and I started putting it together and programming it.

Mom installed the EV3 software on my computer and her computer.

The EV3 robot came with a bunch of sensors and demo programs.  The program in the picture is one of the programs I wrote that uses the touch sensor.  So far I have written programs using the touch sensor, the color sensor, and the sound sensor.  I also wrote programs using the medium and large motors.

I like it when Kitty is in the room with me and mom.  Mom took this picture when Kitty was next to EV3.

The first robot we built was the Track3r.  It started out with a propeller on the front, and mom kept swapping out the motors and sensors.  Today, I added some Technique Lego bricks that I had in my Lego bin to decorate it.  Mom was impressed.

Mom has made videos of our progress.  Check them out!

Silk Hope Old Fashioned Farmers Day

I have always loved John Deere tractors. Yesterday, I went to a tractor show in Silk Hope NC.
Mom talked to a guy and he let me sit on his tractor.

I asked mom to take a picture of me between two tractors.  Look how little I am between the two tractors.

Mom also took this picture of me and a nice cow.

Here is a video of me honking a horn on a model T car.




Here is a video of a lumber mill.



I had a good time.  I'm glad Mom and Mr. Don took me!

My Trip to the Durham Museum

Mom took us to the Museum of Life And Science in Durham.

In this picture, we were making plankton like creatures. We were doing it with a person named Ms Nancy. We wanted them to be in the middle of this tube. Mine was too heavy; it kept sinking.

The Museum Of Life And Science is doing a rubber ducky fundraiser. They are ducknormous. There are smaller racing versions for a race in October. I thought this was very cool.

At the museum, they added this exhibit were you can make your own movie. I only made several.  I arranged the items on the board, took a picture, moved the items just a bit, and took another picture.  I pressed play movie and then posted it to the museum website.

Little Buddy At 3rd Base!

I play youth baseball with the town of F.V.( Fuquay Varina ).  The name of my team is the Stars. 

I'm usually out field, but this time I got to play 3rd base for two innings . I caught a grounder and jumped on 3rd base and made a force out for the third out, ending  the inning.  I hope coach Heather lets me play 3rd base again.

30,000 Steps

This is Zip my Fitbit pedometer that I wear everyday.

On April 17th I had my greatest step day ever.  I did 30,565 steps and earned a 30,000 step badge.

The next badge I want to earn is 50,000 steps and I'm sure my school Vance Elementary will help by giving me 30 minutes of exercise, or maybe an hour.

Sleeping Kitten

Isn't this cat cute?

This is my family's cat Kitty.
