Snake!

Me: Mommy, if you could have any animal in the world, what would it be?

Mommy: Any animal? Um, maybe a koala, or a baby otter. They're so soft and cuddly!

Me: I want a snake. Or a turtle.

Number 9

I'm nine! I turned nine years old on Friday. I had my BFFs sleepover and we had lots of fun. I asked Mommy to make an ice cream cake like a swirled log. That's my favorite. Daddy made French Toast for breakfast.

I like being 9.

It still feels a lot like being 8.

I'm a fourth grader!

I was excited and nervous to start fourth grade. On the walk to school, Mommy asked me what the worst thing I thought could happen would be. "A tornado," I said. I told her and Daddy that I would hide in the library since it's in the middle of my school building. Daddy said, "But you don't want to get hit by flying books!" I didn't know what I would do.

Luckily, no tornado.

And now that the first day is done, I'm very happy.

We picked out our seats. I sit next to J!

No homework the entire week!

My teacher is really nice!

I like fourth grade!

BFF camp

I went to my first sleep away camp. I went with my two best friends. It was so fun to spend a week with them... without parents!

We did all sorts of fun things:
Crafts!
Zipline!
Horseback riding! (my first time! Horses are big.)
Archery! (I accidentally shot my arrow a little too high one time. Look out!)
Swimming!
Hiking! The view was amazing.
Roasting marshmallows! Making s'mores!
Sleeping in a cabin!
Sleeping in a tent!
Buying goodies from the camp store!
Staying up late!

I hope we can do it again next summer!

Six Million Dollar Kid

Cubby time!

This is how my buddies and I get ready for rock climbing camp.

My Maui Vacation!

Ooh, looky! It's a slideshow of my vacation!

Time to reflect

Daddy, Mommy and I went to Hawaii. We stayed at a cool house. The closet doors were mirrors. Look how fun mirrors can be!

Dancey dance!

This video was made last year. It was fun!

A question

Me: Wanna take the Dumb test?

Mommy: Um... no.

Me: You'll probably pass!

Mommy: Uh... okay. *sigh*

Me: What's 1+1?

Mommy: 1

Me: hahahahah!

Mommy: Ugh!

Sleepytime

Last night, Mommy read to me in bed. Not my bed, but Mommy and Daddy's bed. I wish I could do Bedtime in their bed every night. It's so cozy. I was so tired I fell asleep there. Mommy carried me to my bed. I don't remember that.

Happy Spring Egg Day!

The eggs we decorated were already hidden in the backyard when I woke up yesterday morning. I put on my flip flops and carefully walked on the grass. I didn't want my feet to get the morning dew on them, but my toes got wet and cold anyway. But! I found lots of eggs! They were all over the place: the flowers, the grass, one was even on the barbecue.

I put them all in my yellow basket from Grandma. And then picked out three eggs for us to eat. Delicious!

Chopped off!

Mommy said that if I got lice again, my hair would get cut. I was growing out my hair, but then guess what happened today?

That's okay. I still got to color eggs for Easter!

Darn you, autocorrect!

J and I started texting on our mommie's phones. Sometimes the phone changes our words around to be different words. And then we get confused. And then Face Time. That's a video chat. That's fun.

Chubby cheeks!

Aren't we just the cutest?!

Magic sparkles in my backyard!

What's even more fun than gardening in my backyard on a warm, sunny day is when Daddy sprays the hose up in the air to make it rain.

Flower Girl

Not too long ago, Mommy came home from work with a surprise for me. It was a shiny, thick envelope. I opened it up and the prettiest card was inside. It was ruffly and sparkly.



And inside was the note from Sabrina asking for me to be her flower girl! Yay!



I can't wait!

My BFF and Me

We like to explore.

Good morning!

I like to cuddle with Mommy and Daddy on the weekends.

Leggo my Legos!

I got a purse and a gift certificate to Target from Auntie Sharen on New Year's Day. I love gift certificates! I like shopping now, especially when it's for me. I bought some candy because Mommy and Daddy hardly ever buy me any. Sometimes you gotta do things for yourself.

I also got this super cute lego set. It's a tree-clubhouse! It has butterflies, ladybugs, a cat, and all sorts of fun stuff. Mommy loves the birdhouse. I let her play with it, but I have to keep and eye on her to make sure she doesn't keep it for herself.

I love legos!

It's 2012!

I got a bunch of balloons and Mommy took pictures of me. We gave the pictures to Daddy for Christmas.

Balloons on the F Market Train!



Peek a boo!




Upwards and onwards!



Happy New Year!
