My Favorite Show: Ben 10


My Grandpa Chuck asked me in an e-mail about what Ben 10 is. I thought I would answer this question with a blog post. I really like Ben 10, I have lots of Ben 10 stuff and I have a lot of fun with it.

Ben 10 is a tv show about a kid named Ben who is 10 years old. One day he was camping with his Grandpa Max and he went walking in the woods. Then he saw a shooting star, but it really wasn't. Like magic, it began going towards him and crashed near him and made him fall over. When he got up a little pod opened up. Ben was curious. He saw a watch (he later found out was called an Omnitrix) and when he bent down to try to grab it, it jumped on to his wrist. He soon discovered that the watch allowed him to turn into many different alien species that he could use to save the world.


Ben 10 lasted for 4 seasons (I finally have them all on DVD!!) and now a new show is on called Ben 10 Alien Force, where Ben is 16 and has a whole new set of Alien species including Swampfire, Humungosaur, Jet-Ray, Brain Storm, Goop, Spider Monkey, Alien X, Big Chill, echo echo and Chromostone. Here is a picture of my favorite and powerfulest alien on the show.. Alien X:


I have been collecting Ben 10 toys for the last 3 years. I really love finding new toys for my collection. I have all the toys released so far and am keeping a constant look out for new ones coming soon, to try to talk my parents into getting for me.


Last spring, my mom converted my room into a Ben 10 room. I had outgrown my old city mural and my Mom and I decided to paint a Ben 10 mural on my wall. And now I have my mural, Ben 10 posters and Ben 10 colored bed and curtains. It looks really cool. My Mom did a really cool job. She is awesome!





Obviously, I really like Ben 10!!! Here's a video of the show's theme song that shows a lot of what the show looks like:

Tanner's Updates

The day before my birthday I beat my goal to learn how to ride my bike before I was 8. It wasn't easy. My dad and I had been working on it for a long time. But since I had a goal, I was determined to make it. It was dark and late the night before my birthday when I finally figured it out. But I made it. Now, my Dad and I ride as much as we can. My favorite is when my Dad and I ride to Dairy Queen for an ice cream treat! Here is a picture of me riding my bike.


On September 3rd school started. I was exited to see my friends and my new teacher is very nice and she makes science very fun!


Also, now that I am finally 8, my Dad is letting me try out having an e-mail address (with lots of rules....) :(, so you can send me an e-mail at tanner@stevebarth.com. So either send me an e-mail or comment on my blog posts. I like hearing from everyone!
