Homeschooling

Hello world, alien, and that one dude...



 Here in California, I am doing homeschool! it has been great for me but I'm having trouble getting work done. ( Suprised... no... ) I use Khan Academy as of now.
Khan has been very helpful! I get to take biology, coding, math, Pixar in the box all for free!! It is very fun... except for math... ugh!
Life is going well with our growing family. Joshua is very fun and full of smiles; you can tell he loves me(: (: (: Caleb and JJ are great and my parents are just spectacular!
Lately, we had the suburban break down and we had to spend 6 hours at a random gas station trying to fix it!! I had to miss a Christmas party with all the homeschoolers in the region!! ): ):
 
Well, that's all folks!

Brothers

Today and Yesterday


Life can be a hassle; I know. Sometimes it takes some hard adjustment to look on the brightside. There's a lot to talk about! So as we all know (Well not all...) Brothers can be a real trouble. I love my brothers soooo much but sometimes well... not really.
Caleb has a tendency to act like a dog and jump off the ceiling way too much.
He also is incredibly bad at falling asleep..Like bad... JJ just wants me to love him
all the time. Wish me luck any tips?

Life

"When life gives you lemons... MUSIC!!!"

                                                                    -Me

Ok! I'm sorry! I haven't posted for a while! But I'm here now and rearing to go! So there's a lot to say and I don't know how to spit it all out. I guess that's just how I function! I have a gazillion things in my head at one time. I will be putting my plate in the sink but walk over to my room with it instead! *true story* I have music reverberating through my head here there and forever! You know... I kinda like it!

Now to music, ( "Yes!! I love this part" Shhh brain... I'm trying to talk.) Ok I do love this part tho. Music is my soul! My anchor, my lifeblood, and some other fancy names.

Music can change WHO YOU ARE what you stand for and how you act! It has many psychologic effects on how you think and your view of life. And if you pick to listen to good music, uplifting, appropriate and joyful it will change your life! It has changed mine! My life has been going fine with homeschool starting, my days are great! I have decided to take on the goal of exercising daily. The people of Bakersfield are quite nice; Do not judge a book by its cover.

The Library

So today we went to the library it was HUUUGGGEE! It was pretty octagonal
and it would probably take me an hour to walk through it!!!! There's a prodigious amounts book there... like a lot... trust me! They had Sci-Fi, Fantasy, WW2 books and Romance! Uhhh, romance, gross... kinda! Now here's something funny. So I was going down the elevator ( Yes the elevator ) And I got off. I looked to my sides and I saw a cute girl standing on my left! Right then faster than a teenager running to his/her charger when his/her phone is about dead, she ducked around the corner!
curious I walked over and saw her and another girl (probably Caleb and JJs age)  Standing there. ( By the way, I think the girl was about my age! ) She quickly, blushing slightly, Apologised. Like what was she even apologizing for! I'm not going to judge a cute girl for checking me out... Heavens no! I then did my nod smile thingy (like I was cool or something) and she blushed more and kinda hid away! I walked away very pleased with my self. I saw her a couple more times later but she was good at disappearing at sight. And This is random but I saw some guys playing something like D&D. I think it was like Magic or something like that!





                                 JAKOB OUT!

I'm Back!

Whats up posse!

     My mom and I have decided its time to rejuvenate this lonely forgotten blog...
That is why I'm here, the man you love, the man you hate, the one and only Jakob Baron! Throughout my travels, I met some very incredible people. My goal is to
use this blog to help my friends stay informed on how my life goes... the good and bad!
I will also try to share some things I have learned. I hope this blog will inspire you and give you a good laugh once in a while! Now as many kids know, moms can be pretty embarrassing. And it happens my mom was the writer of this blog for a while. I'm guessing she probably put some stuff on this blog that might embarrass me a bit; I'll see! Please do not be rude in the comments and be uplifting at all times. I bet you could probably say stuff like, "You should work on your six-pack a little more" (: Now for some history. I'm 13 at the moment, I have a family of 6 members!
There's yours truly, my brothers Caleb (9) JJ (7) And the new arrival Joshua (0).
And my beloved parents Leif and Lena. ( age is classified ) And sadly 2 sisters who died at birth. Talk to my mom she can explain it better. I have lived in Fredonia AZ, Carthage MO, Spring Field MO, Whispering Pines NC, Pleasanton CA, Waialua HI, Alton UT, Bakersfield Ca, Jeez! Please expect a blog post about every other day!

   Thank You!        - - Jakob --

Moms last baby

I was about 3 or 4 we realized mom was pregnant and we went and named the baby JJ.  What we loved most about him is that he is so cute.  Like today, he can now walk and stand.

This is our first bean bag.  We wanted it smaller, but we picked the wrong size.  When we brought it home it was sticking out the trunk.  I love it because it is so big and we are on it right now.

For the 24th of July we had a fun parade, we had to run in pioneer cart.  And the thing I liked most about it was because I was with some of my friends in it.  I was also wearing really funny cloths.  Then we went to Alton, but i didn't want to get wet, but we went with derek.  He didn't want to get wet, so i didn't want to get wet.  But people said to come slide so I went.  It was a big piece of plastic with soap and water.  They sprayed hoses on it to get it wet when I slid down.  I did it more than once, but it was fun.  I didn't slide far. I had to scoot down. Others slid down far.

Birthdays of my life

7th birthday- I got a really, really, really silly surprise which was two nice kittens, but the thing I loved the most was a new Wii gamed named Wii Sport Resort.  I liked the game because it had a lot, lot, lot of different games like sword fighting, skiing on water, frisbee and more.  I like the kittens because they like to fight with claws and stuff.

GOING PRIVATE!

I've decided to make my kid's blogs private. So if you're interested in being able to view this blog, let me know!!

I'm A Fan Of This Kid!

Jakob loves to try out new words. The other day he was playing on a toy outside and he called out to me "I'm a fan of this toy!" What he was saying was that he really enjoyed the toy. I realized that we must declare whether we're a fan of this or that quite often in our home.

It's been a while since I've posted something on Jakob's blog. So much has happened. Jakob started Kindergarten. We withdrew Jakob from public school. Now Jakob has school at home. Most of the time he enjoys it, and is enjoyable. Other times he doesn't and he isn't. The days that he is most difficult are usually Mondays, Thursdays, or the first few days after a sick week. So that just tells me that Jakob requires steady routine. So we try.

Jakob also started dance this season. Unfortunately, finances forced us to live more within our means. So we had to take Jakob out of dance. I still struggle with that. I hope it wasn't a big mistake! Dance was good for him. I have organized a play group a couple of times a week as well as a Joy School friend a couple of times a week. So he definitely isn't lacking in socializing. We hope to turn one of the play group days into a dance activity. Hopefully soon.

So, those are the technical updates with Jakob. I'll post soon with some of the fun things he's said or done lately.

Oh The Things He Says!

Ahhh, my Jakob is growing up! Jakob bore his testimony in Sacrament meeting yesterday. Leif helped him by whispering in his ear and Jakob shared the thoughts loud and clear. It was precious! I look forward to the day when he will walk up there by himself and speak from the heart. Precious, Precious Times!

We took Jakob to the Aerospace museum while on out trip. While we were there I explained to Jakob that the first men who flew an airplane were the Wright Brothers. Five minutes later he stopped and asked, then who were the Wrong Brothers? I love the way little minds work! Before we left the museum we asked Jakob again who flew the first airplanes. He added to his cuteness by answering "the Good Brothers!"

Jakob will often say something that makes me chuckle and he'll follow it up with "you need to write that on your blog!" He knows me well!:)

There is a reason why Jakob's blog is titled Mama's Little Echo. Jakob mimics my moods to a T. This morning I was not in a good mood, this rubbed off on to Jakob and eventually I just looked at Jakob and said, " Jakob, just try to have more patience then me!" He looked at me with the wheels in his head turning, trying to take in the concept that he could be better then me at something. Eventually it hit home and he turned away with a smile...

Love My Jakob!
