Webkinz





I want this one -->




















<---I own this one



Webkinz are stuffed animals that you can go online and play with them. Even if you don't have a computer, they are soft and cuddly. I only own 1 Frog right now and my brother just got 2 for his birthday and lizard and a black lab.

When you get to http://www.webkinz.com/, you have to sign in and let them know if you are a boy or girl, your birthday and more. You start out with some money and you have to buy food, clothes. bed, toys and more. Each one of your pets gets a present right of the bat too.


This one is Cool ------->


Pokemutations

First you take two Pokemon (my favorites are http://www.pe2k.com/ or http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/)


  • Copy (Ctrl +C) and Paste (Ctrl +V) them into Paint.
  • Once they are placed you start by recoloring.
  • You pick up the eyedropper tool and left click on the color you want to replace.
  • Next you right click on the color you want to replace it with.
  • Pick up the eraser...right click and drag all over the Pokemon that you want to change the color on (the color will only change in the area that you left clicked on)
  • repeat this process until its recolored to what you want

Suggestion: Use a dark colored pokemon and a light colored pokemon to make the recoloring easier.

  • Use the free form select and interchange the two pokemon together.

Here are some of the Pokemutations I have done:

Pogo Poppit!

When I first learned of Poppit, my husband and I were laying in bed with the laptop and he started playing this games. He was popping balloons...I kinda laughed at him and of course since I'm a caring wife, expressed that fact that I thought the game was mindless and DUMB!!

A few days later, my husband went out on the road again and guess how bored I got?? Yeah, I played Poppit...I was right, when you first start playing the game it is COMPLETELY mindless and then you get up in points and things seem to get harder, you actually have to come up with a strategy to clear the balloons. I'm completely addicted!

The Blue Slide by Jhon6789

One day I was waiting in line for the blue slide at "Splash Station". I waited and waited for what felt like forever. Soon I saw my mom and dad, so I excitedly waved. A few minutes later the guy behind me thought he was going to pass out because of how high we were. There were still 14 people in front of me, so I waited some more. It felt like an hour, but ten minutes later it was finally my turn.

I grabbed the medal bar, crossed my feet and down the slide I went. I don't know how fast I was going, but it was FAST, so fast that I went upside down in the tube and kept spinning. For a minute, I thought I was going through a portal until my adventure started coming to an end when I saw the light. I flew through that tube at so fast a speed I thought I would hit the wall and break my legs. But Nope, I didn't. I was so excited I wanted to run back up the stairs and do it all over again, but Mom said it was time to go home for now.


A few days later, we went back to "Splash Station" and I saw that the blue slide was closed. When I asked a lifeguard why it was closed. She said "People were hitting the end and breaking their legs." Wow..that is what I thought would happen to me.

Fremont Wrestling Club


Fremont has a wrestling club for kids. You have to be at least 3yrs old to join our club. I've been wrestling for 3 yrs now.


I go to wrestling touraments every weekend. This last weekend we had a tournament here in town at the private high school. We went early and I got to watch the Pre-K and K kids wrestle 1st. Then I wrestled my 1st kid and I lost that match. On my 2nd match, I won by points 10 to 0 that's as good as a pin. My dad bought me knee pads for the last match. On my last match, I won 4 to 2, we had become friends before the match so we kinda messed around on the match, but I still beat him. I took home a 2nd place medal.

Scout Camp at Camp Eagle

A few weeks ago, I got to go to Camp Eagle for Scouts. The Bears and Webelos got to stay the night. Wolfs and Tigers were not supposed to come, but my little brother was brought by my mom later and he's a Tiger.

We went on a hike and then went sledding. I hit my forehead on a tree 3 times. During the hike I felt like I was gunna fall on my back. My brothers went to "Killer Hill" which is a very large hill with a straight down drop. We also had to hike up that hill and it was almost impossible to go straight up the middle because it was so slippery and we ended up walking up the side, but my dad made it up the middle. I fell on my butt and slid backwards down the hill and my dad caught me. On our way back I asked my dad if he would throw me into a snow drift, but it wasn't that soft, it was actually covered in ice.

Best Free Kids Games to Play With Your Little Preschooler


Some good fun and free kids games are all you need to teach your little preschooler their letters, numbers, colors or almost anything educational.

Little time and enthusiasm are the only ingredients you need for these fun games to have an enjoyable learning time with your young child. Take a look at this list of simple free kid games to play with your child and watch them acquire the required knowledge.

Lets play Shop Learning Letters can be fun with this alphabet currency game.Give your kid some alphabet coins.You can either make them with some card board or use foam letters if you have those. Pick up a few objects from around the house, let it be any thing like say for example bread and some fruits. Set up you own little shop and let your young one pretend to be a customer in the shop.
Let him or her buy the items in exchange or some of their alphabet currency.For example say, one banana costs 2 x a's and 1 x b.Not just letters, but kids even can understand some math and money basics with this game.

Number Your Household items Get some number stickers or simply make some at home involving your little one in making those. If its numbers say 11-20 that you are looking to familiarise your kid with, all you need to do is stick these numbers up on house hold items around the house.
You can use chairs in the Diner, or drawers in your chest of drawers and refer those drawers with their numbers while talking to your kid.
They will then be so used to seeing the numbers that they will pick those up in no time.

What am I wearing? This is one of a fun free kids games that can be played almost anywhere anytime by you and your little one.

Simply begin by describing any item you are wearing - "I am wearing black socks" and then its your child's turn to come up with a color of any item they are wearing. They can then come up something that he or she is wearing "I am wearing blue shoes" and you can carry on playing this game.

Spend some quality time with your young one and you can watch them pick up almost any skill you wish them to.
Play kid games and enjoy with your little one.

U.B. FunKey

U. B. FunKeys

These fun little critters are collectable.
Each one opens a new part of FunKey's Universe.

My dad and I share a room and we get to decorate it anyway we want. When you play your games and get a high enough score, you will get to play it in your house without having to go to another world. Some worlds you can't get to unless you have that speacial FunKey. And if you are lucky enough to collect a VERY RARE Funkey you get more money that can be used to buy things for your house.

My favorite game to play in FunKey Town is Super Vroom Ball. It's kinda like skiball only on the computer. It's kinda hard though so you have to practice. You have to click on the ball, pull it back and let it go. That might sound easy, but controlling the ball is HARD.

Cartoon Network.com

I mostly play a whole bunch of games on here. I have a few favorites: Bowling, Basketball, dinoquest and many many more.

Bowling
In bowling you might want to aim for the front pin so it spins sideways. If you hit the pin right on it's side while it's still moving forward, you should get a strike. If you do that three times in a row you will get a "Turkey".
To get a spare you need to hit all the other pins still left standing after your first throw. If you do that twice in a row and then get a strike you will get twice the points. I like to aim straight for the front pin and make it spin backwards because it brings it back to me and I know where it will be headed so when I make it spin forward it will be going so fast that I get a strike (most of the time).

Basketball

Aim right for the middle of the backboard and it will bounce off and go straight into the hoop. If you aim a little above the backboard it should go thru the hoop without hitting the rims.

Racing

Excelerate until you get to top speed and when you turn, slow down a little bit and then go back to full speed and this should get you 1st place to win the race.

Big Fat Awesome House Party

First check all of your duties and find out where they need to be done. After that you can go out on quests with "Bloo". When you fill up your popularity bar you can unlock a game in the game room. You fill up your popularity bar by helping your friends.

Kids Playland

I know that in this world so many kids are in chatrooms and being stalked by some WEIRD people. So I figure what could be better than letting them blog with me. I want my kids to learn how to safely surf the net.

How many of you parents have walked in the room and your kids start talking and they are saying some of the strangest names you have ever heard and you can't figure out if it's Poke'mon...Yugio...or any of those other games. I just sit back and listen to the pretend power struggle between my boys and their different collections of cards.

Our children are growing up faster and faster all the time and they are loosing their imaginations and the ability to be kids. So this blog is for my boys and me to talk about some of the things we do as a family. I hope to bring you loads of fun and entertainment that you crave in your family.
