Bananzas Studios presents... The Book Job!- Dallin

So recently some friends, my cousins, me, and my brothers have created our own movie. We also named our movie company "Bananzas Studios." The idea came from a mix of both the 7/8 grade band at my school pretending to be Chicago gangsters, and Peter, (one of my cousins) presenting us with his "good reads he picked up at Mulbary Library" ENJOY!

CELL CITY! -Dallin

So in science recently, we got this assignment for class about comparing the different parts of the cell to a city. We all made a presentation showing this relationship. I decided to work on the plant cell and got going. First, I made a 3-D presentation on Minecraft. Then I video- taped it with an awesome video editor/ screen video capturer called Ezvid. Enjoy!

You can notice that it is a plant cell because of the organelles it has like the chloroplasts and the cell wall. I also forgot to mention in the video the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm is like the grass around me as I walked throughout the city, because the cytoplasm in the cell is the region between the nucleus and the cell wall it's basically the stuff that all the organelles are floating in, just like how everything in the city was originally built on dirt and grass.  I hope you enjoyed!

Kahooooot!!!-Dallin

I've discovered this new, awesome online game that my family and English class love, and I hope you will too!

Kahoot is a fun family/classroom game where everybody answers questions they see on the screen on his/her separate electronic device.

When you look up kahoot on google, make sure to choose the one that says: Kahoot! making learning awesome. Then, you create an account. After you're on the site and have an account, you can start playing! Either create your own kahoot or do one created by someone else (ex. shown above).

Once you've got a kahoot game, you just press play and start taking out your devices. (Once your devices are out, be sure not to go to "kahoot! making learning awesome." Instead, this time, go to "kahoot.it")

Next everyone goes to Kahoot.it, types in the game pin, and creates a nickname.

Beware of silly nicknames. And also have some fun making your own.

Here comes the question! Answer fast and answer correctly. Both will be the main things determining your score. I took this question out of a family trivia kahoot I made, by the way.

The scores could get VERY close

All in all, Kahoot! is a great game that you can bring up at any setting, so what are you  waiting for? Go to it now and start quizzing!

Kahoot!

THE FIGHT OVER THE SNICKERS -Dallin.

So my grandma was awesome and gave Spencer, Tyler, and me a clay stop animation set this Christmas. so here's one of the videos Tyler and I made called "The Fight Over the Snickers"

Micro photography- by Tyler

I've discovered that I love taking pictures of nature close up. This was simply a bubble on a branch in our backyard.

Spencer had some fun Photoshop editing all the photos. (Just a tad)

This was just a small, rubber toy I found around the house!

 A lot of these I took at scout camp, taking the photography merit badge. It was awesome. Above is a cricket I found on a bench.

These pictures were taken right after it rained; my favorite time for photography.

This is our old BBQ grill's parts. 

And of course, our snake, Legs.

I hope you enjoyed these photos as much as I did taking them. I love the Micro setting!

Christmas- by Tyler

I was going through unfinished posts and I found this random draft of Christmas two years ago that was never published! so sit back and enjoy.

Christmas this year was a blast!!! We've been busy with no time to post anything lately, but we'll try to catch up.

We got a real Christmas tree this year for the first time in who knows how many years. I forgot how beautiful                they were!!! Everyone thought ours was fat, but I didn't, I thought it was just fluffy!    

Everyone got their Santa gift, which was left out by Santa, unwrapped. Here is Chloe's gift, she loved it. It was a barn with animals, and if you put one of the animals in it, the barn would make that animal's sound, and turn it into a song. 

Levi's toy was played with a lot, and it was so cool! He got a big medieval castle. It had an open up draw bridge, several knights, and the whole castle can quickly change to battle station.

     Brennan probably got the coolest robot we've ever had! (there's been a few) It does almost everything,                                                                           and Brennan loves it!                                                                

   Dallin got what he has wanted for a long time, a trumpet. He has been practicing once every year at the                                            annual art festival, where they have an instrument petting zoo.

  

I, Tyler, got a real bow with some real arrows. How cool is that!!!! I probably don't practice enough, but i'm getting good! I print out villains, and put them on my hard foam-like target of mine. In the picture i'm wearing a pare of Spock ears I got in my stocking.

Dallin- every day, after school

This post is all about what happens when I get home from school

when I'm done speeding back from school on my bike, I walk inside my house, and eat one of the treats that I, or my mom  sometimes make.

If there aren't any of these, I just grab one of the other snacks we have

Then we go on the swings in our backyard while we eat them.

I finish my home work (usually I

do all homework except for reading, which I like to do in the evening.

My mom always makes an amazing dinner, and the whole family gang  is able to be gathered up as we eat it.

I have a goal of reading 60 pages a night (or until the end of the book)

and I spend until usually 10:00 to complete it.

finally, I fall asleep after an exhausting day.

(if this was boring, please tell me in comments, because I just realized that there is a very large chance it was.)

Fun puppet show- Tyler and Dallin

My Field of Dreams - By Spencer

My mom is really cool. Yeah, maybe a little crazy, but super cool. This is a panoramic of Tyler out in a random field somewhere in the outskirts of SLO. I'm taking the picture, and nobody else is there. This is what happened: we are lazing around one morning (summer style), Mom is laboring in the kitchen (every day of the year style), and Boom! "Spencer and Tyler! I just had a really cool idea!" 

Just like that. Next morning, we hitch a ride with dad on his way to work in San Luis. He drops us off at Laguna Lake for the rest of the day until work ends. That's my mom! So, what would we do all day in San Luis?

           GEOCACHING!!!  

          This is why: a normal amount of geocaches in a town looks like that (the smilies are caches I've found, and the stars are the ones I've made).
                                   

                                               

Then there's San Luis.  All those smilies are the ones Tyler and I found that day.

                                             We still had time to squeeze in a few selfies.

 Ok, this was a tricky one. This is a picture of the cache. Can you guess where it is?

 Ready?

 And...

 ...Boom!

 That is totally a favorite.

One geocache took us to the top of a hill, where there was a structure made of rocks. Apparently it's used for meditating.

Our hundreth geocache! It was sort of anticlimactic though, wide out in the open in a plastic bag. Oh well.

 Here's another cool one.

Can you guess?

 Here comes the hand...

 ...Whoa!

  So cool.

 For lunch, we walked to Panera-the best bakery ever.

 We shared a tomato-mozzarella panini, a creamy tomato soup, and a french bagguette. Yum!

 We kept laughing at this sign-no Bieber! Good thing we wouldn't run into him!

 Some of the hills were pretty intense. 

 For all you people not in California, our lakes are more like mud puddles.

 The hikes to some of these are so crazy, the caches get names like "Geezer Wheezer."

 And they're very easy. That's because no muggle just goes up for kicks and giggles, and nobody wants to hike all that way to not find any and go back down.

 The wildlife there was fantastic; we saw deer, a jackrabbit, a skunk (that one was next to a cache, so we had to steer clear), hawks, lizards, and a bunch of song birds.

Later in the day we walked to Maddona Inn, where we rested until our dad picked us up to go home.
