Our Family Stories


One time, we wrote stories on the computers for our famiy and friends to read when they came to "Family & Friends Night." We told about why our family members and friends are special. We told about funny times, awesome trips, and family traditions. We put our stories in a scrapbook for everyone to read -- and we put them here, too!

JESUS R:

I live with my mom, dad, and brother named Juan. Once I scared my brother and it was in day light. I was in the closet and I wasn't making any noise and then my brother opened the door of the closet and then that is when I scared him. Both doors were closed and when he opened the doors I had my eyes crossed and he yelled, "Oh Zombie!" Yesterday he scared me back. The dog was barking and we thought it was because there was an oppossum in the yard. So we got a flash light and while we were looking my brother was behind us and made a scary noise like an oppossum.

I went to Disneyland with my family a long time ago. We got on the rides and we bought some souvenirs. I like spending time with my family. I felt good to be with my family.

SYLVIA G:

I live with my mom and my dad and my 2 brothers and my 2 sisters. My favorite aunt is Bridget and my favorite uncle is uncle mike. My grandma lives in Pico Rivera, I visit her on weekends. My aunt Bridget takes me places and we spend the night at her house. On Holloween she is taking us to a party.

A favorite time of mine was christmas when I was six. My Aunt lived next door to us and she curled my hair and gave me presents. She gave me barbie dolls and a bike. Another favorite time of mine was when I was nine and my mom took us to Disneyland for the first time. I remember going on Snow White, Peter Pan and Small World. I liked how on Snow White, the witch would peek through the window and I also liked the dolls on Small World.

Every year on christmas, my family comes to our house and we eat Enchiladas and exchange presents. We have doen this for as long as I can remember. My tia, my auntie, and my grandma and grandpa come over. My cousins come over too and we play a marble game.

A place I have been to that I had fun at was Hollywood. I went with my dad. We went to see the houses that movie stars live in. My dad bought us sun glasses and we also ate at a resturant there. We also saw a black limosine. I was excited to see the movie stars houses. my dad also bought us some big pretzels that were really good. I like to spend time with my dad because he takes me to alot of differant places.

I'm a member of Cubscouts and went to a carnival with them. When we went I won a brown hammer!!! Something funny that happened when I went to my grandma's house my cousin was running around dancing. Everyone in my family loves to dance. Another funnything that happened was my grandma was dancing around in circles. She made everybody laugh!!!

ANTHONY L:

I went to Henderson, Nevada. I went to go see my grandmother get married. It took me 5 hours to get there. We rented a car and a van I drove in the car. I went with my aunt, my dad, my mom, my 2 brothers and my sister, and my other uncle. When we got there, me went to my grandmother's house. It was hot and very dry. Even when it is night, it is hot there. After the day was over, we ate. The next day, my grandmother got married. We also had fun going to the casinos in Las Vegas. From my grandmother's house, it was only a short drive to Las Vegas. There I played in the arcades with my aunt. This was a really fun vacation for me and my whole family because I got to be with my family and I got to see Nevada. It was also fun because I used to live in Nevada and so I got to go back and visit for a little bit.

CHLOE M:

I live with my sister, Chelsea, and I live with my mom. Aunt Janice and Uncle Berry are real special to me, but they're really not my aunt and uncle, I just call them that cause they're real close to me. I know them from my mom a long time ago; they're my mom's friends. My grandpa lives in West Virginia. I talk to him on the phone. And my step grandma, Mary. I have never met them. I like my mom cause she's not like regular moms. She's funny.

SOPHIA G:

I live with my mom, named Margaret, and my dad, named Paul, and I have two brothers, named Henry and David. I also live with my two sisters, and one of them is my twin sister, and their names are Paulina and Sylvia. My oldest is David and he is 23 years old (yesterday was his birthday). Then comes my brother Henry and he is 16 years old, and he will turn 17 soon. Next comes Paulina, she is 10 years old. Then comes Sylvia and me, Sophia, we are both 9 years old.

I like being a twin. Sometimes when we get into trouble, my parents yell at the opposite twin. Sylvia has bigger feet than I do, but we can still fit into the same clothes. She also has bigger hands than me. Sylvia was born before I was, so that makes me the baby of the family.
