Celebrating 7

For my 7th birthday, we celebrated on a few different days with dinner at Red Robin, then a family dinner at our house, and finally a swimming pool party with my friends.  I was very spoiled with lots of gifts and treats!

November Review

In November, I lost my first top tooth!  EVERYBODY keeps singing to me, "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth..."  I started art lessons with my honorary Aunt Mari and have been doing some amazing art.  We spent Thanksgiving with Gramma and Poppy, and Mommy flew to Vegas with Nana for a family wedding with the Minnesota cousins.

October Review

Time for a catch-up session!  October was filled with pumpkins and fun.   We visited a couple of different pumpkin patches and I dressed like an angel and went trick or treating with my BFF.

Bend it Like Beckham

I'm playing soccer this fall with my team, the Green Tigers.   Go Green Tigers!!!

Back to School!

I started first grade in September!

Mrs. Good is my teacher this year.  I've called her "Mrs. Goodie" the past several years because she would always give me "goodies" when I was playing next door in Mom's classroom!

One of my favorite things to do before the bell rings is make beautiful designs with shapes in the geometry tub.

Ta da!!!

Hanging with My Buddies

One last playdate before school starts....

Labor Day at the Lake

Rock skipping 101:  This is a possible candidate...

Daddy is helping me with my technique...

Here's a good skipper...

Ready, aim, fire!

My cousins love the lake, too!

Goodbye to Summer!

The weather can't make up its mind this past week with rain-sun-rain-sun.  Good bye to days at the lake and the beach!

Go Huskies!

Daddy and Poppy went to the season opener at the new Husky stadium yesterday.   We took our annual purple and gold pic on the front steps:  UW School of Engineering - Class of 1965, 1991, and 2029!

Day at the Fair

We spent a perfect day at the fair yesterday!  I rode the rides (my new fave is the ferris wheel!), had my face painted, rode a pony named "Dandy," ate my fill of popcorn, and held a baby pig.   We read Charlotte's Web this summer, and it was just like we imagined Charlotte and Wilber's fair in the book!
