Swimming Friend

This year in swimming I made a good friend with Hadley.  She is 7 and going into 2nd grade just like me but she goes to another school.  We even had play date this summer where she came to my house.  This is picture is from swimming championships. Our team is West Clark.  When we won the championship we all jumped in the pool.  This picture is funny because it looks like Hadley is standing on the water!

Family Vacay TIme

It is our family vacation in Florida again.  This time we stayed across the street from our normal condo.  We had a deck on this pond outside our building.  I liked that we had an elevator that went right to our door and not a hallway. 

There was a big bird...like a pelican or something that was on the deck when we walked out there.  It was barking at us and then it flew away.  But it scared me for a minute!

 We still went to the beach everyday.  Mommy was very jealous of my tan.  And we spent a lot of time in the pool like we always do. 

One time when we had a long wait for dinner, me and Daddy and Julian went for a walk.  We saw this funny rooster and this cool painting of a wave in the ocean.  There is all kinds of cool stuff in Florida.

The Pool Is Open

 

The neighborhood pool is open for the summer!  It is kinda cold but we don't care because we are kids. 

2nd Grader?

Today was the last day in 1st grade.  Here is my picture with Mrs Haynes on the last day of school and way back on the first day of school. Do I look any older?  Well, I have my front teeth now.

Ready for 2nd grade!!!!

Bike Chick

Today we got Mommy a bike for Mother's Day.  Then we came home and got our bikes out for the first time this year.  Daddy took the training wheels off the Barbie bike last year but I couldn't ride it. But today I just started riding it.  No training wheels!  It was easy.  I don't know why I couldn't do it last year.

I'm excited because now I can go on bike rides with Mommy and Riley.  I don't like to be left out so I had to learn how to ride it.  I'm ready to go ride all over the neighborhood.

Junie B Jones

We got to dress up like favorite characters from a book.  I picked Junie B Jones.  Mommy helped me dress like.  She wears lots of color clothes and always has bows in her hair.

Daddy Daughter Dance 2017

Our Lady did the Daddy - Daughter Dance again.  Daddy had 2 dates again.  Me and Riley took turns dancing on his feet but mostly we hang out with our friends.

Like usual, I hung out with best friend Ella.  We took some great pics at the photo booth that Mommy was working.  And they did a balloon drop from the ceiling.  There were so many balloons...

...we were yelling for them to drop the balloons.

New Year's Resolution

I wrote down my new resolution for 2017 in school today. My resolution is to be nice to people and smile at them even if I don't know them.

Cubs Paper

I got into the Cubs winning the world series this year.  I wrote this informative paper at school about the Cubs and Daddy loved it.

1st Grade Halloween Party

A kid in my class named Owen had a Halloween party at his house for the kids in our class.  It was only for 1st graders.  Riley wanted to go but she couldn't and she was mad.  But Daddy took her and Julian to a trick or treat at Our Lady so I don't feel bad for her.

I wore my diner girl costume.  And I hung with a mummy cheerleader and a some mummy cats and stuff.  There was lots of toilet paper mummies.  And I bobbed for apples.  It was fun.  I don't really like to eat apples but I like to bob for apples.

Soccer

I played on a soccer team for the first time.  I really like soccer now.  It is fun.  And I scored two goals.  And I really like to play goalie too.  Daddy wasn't the main coach but he helped coach like an assistant.  It was a boy & girl team.  I made a couple of new friends too.

Me and Julian are soccer players.

Happy Birthday to Riley and Me

I have been 7 for a week but today we had our family birthday party. It was a rainy day but the party was inside our house.  This is the first time we had our birthday at this house.  All of our family came over and we had a cookie cake with 9 candles for Riley and 7 candles for me.  That's a lot of candles! 

We got lots of good presents.  Legos, CD players, books, earrings and Shopkins! 

Rowan really likes Shopkins!

 

Thank you to everyone with birthday presents and happy birthday wishes.  

Surprise! Holiday World

 

The day after your birthday is usually boring but not today...because we went to Holiday World!  We didn't know we were going until this morning when Mommy and Daddy told us.  Aunt Sissy, Uncle Steven and Rowan went with us too! 

I am 48 inches tall so I could ride almost all of the rides.  I rode the Raven with Daddy.  My eyes were closed and I squeezed his arm for part of it but I did say it was fun afterwards.  Riley is too scared to ride roller coasters.  I almost went on the Voyage but it was too big and I changed my mind.  We didn't get to ride the Legend but I will do that one next time.  It is bigger than the Raven. 

 

 

I did the really high swings ride with Mommy.  You go really high up.  Can you find me?  I'm wearing a pink shirt.  

I drove a car too but Aunt Sissy said that I am a bad driver. 

And we had so much fun at the water park.  I did the Jungle Racer like 5 times and we did the black slides like 10 times.  The lines were too long for the other ones but it was still a lot of fun.  I could go to Holiday World everyday.   

SEVEN!!!

I was very excited today and woke up early but not at midnight.  I did want to know when it was my ACTUAL birthday...at 3:25.  And I got a scooter for my birthday!  A Razor scooter just like Riley's. 

I was telling everybody it was my birthday today.  Mommy and Daddy got a new mattress and I told the delivery guy it was my birthday.  When we went to B Dubs for dinner, I told them it was my birthday.  And they brought me ice cream and sang Happy Birthday!

I wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese but we didn't have time.  Daddy promised to take me. I won't let him forget it. 

Can you believe this girl is almost 7?

 

We can't believe it!  And Mommy wants to cry...too big.

I Like School

Luci doodled this at breakfast this morning. She is doing really well in 1st grade and apparently likes it.

All I Want For My Birthday

Are my 2 front teeth?  I guess because I lost my other front tooth today!  It was really wiggly and it came out after cheerleading practice.  Now I can almost put a spoon in my mouth without opening my mouth.  And I got another gold dollar coin from the tooth fairy.   Mommy was glad I still had 1 front tooth in my school pictures last week.
