My Graduation

Today was my Kindergarten Graduation.  I had a blue cap and big blue gown that went over my clothes.  I had a white sash that said 2012.  Did you know I'm finished now, and get to go into first grade?  I had a bunch of songs to sing with my class.  I did good with singing too.  Then, they called eveybody's names one at a time to walk across the stage and get their diploma.  After all that, Papa took us to Zesto's for ice cream!  I got chocolate ice cream with sprinkles.  Everybody was there ~ Papa, and me, and Mana, and Mary, and Jenny, and my Momma.  Papa did the video camera because there's no card for our camera right now.  Papa will fix the video so you can watch me sing some songs, okay?

I fell asleep on the way home because I was so tired.  Did you know I have a fat ankle today?  It's because yesterday I got bit by something and it was swole up a little bit.  Sometimes, I can hardly walk and then somebody has to carry me.  

I'm watching a movie right now with Mary.  I went swimming today for a little while again with Papa.  I have 4 more days left of school and then I start summer school.  There's some cool camps I get to go to too!  There's this ocean camp that teaches about fish, and sharks, and dolphins; and then there's a bug camp where you learn all about bugs.  

Know something I really like right now?  I really like detective stuff.  I like the Spy Kids movies and Mana found this cool website with all these cool detective online games to play.  I have to find and hide clues and use tools to find the diamond.  I won one of the games and got a detective card that Mana printed for me with my name on it!  How cool is that?!

Did you know I'm coming to Virginia next week?  I will see you soon.  I love you!

Fixin' stuff...

Guess what me and my Papa are doing?  We had to cut a pipe loose in the basement so that Papa could fix the water line outside and have water come to the new water spouts by the garden.  Then, I had to hold Papa's tools because he's doing stuff.  I got to hold this big cutter thing too.  Next, Papa did some fixin' under the house too.  He's got a small leak in the pipe that he couldn't fix yet.  We have to get some other parts for it.  It was cool.  I can fix stuff like that too!  

After that, me and Papa got in the pool - but just for a minute because it was still kind of cold (72).  Mana still won't get in the pool!

Happy Mother's Day

Today is Mother's Day.  I maked this card and bag for my mom.  We gived Mana a cool chair that lays back and I got to talk to some people today too and telled them Happy Mother's Day.  After that, I helped Papa cook some food, and then we went to Gram's and Granddad's house to eat with them.  I took my game boy and my kindle fire to play with there.  Gram and Mary and Mana played Bingo with me and Apples to Apples.  Those are two games I like to play.  I win most of the time, did you know?  Now, I'm back home and watching a movie.  It's close to bed now though so Mana needs to stop being on the computer and lay down with me.  Good night Everybody ~  I will see you in a few days, okay? 

I was in a boat...

Today, (Saturday) we got to float in our boat in the river!  Me and Papa and Mana was in the boat, and Mary and Jenny was in their big yellow inner tubes.  Their tubes was tied to our boat.  It took us a while to go from the place we got in, to the place we got out of the boat.  I got to help Papa paddle some too.  And, I climbed in Jenny's tube with her and Papa and me splashed Mary some.  It was cloudy and Mary said it was cold.  We had a good time and I can't wait to go again.  Papa said the water was up really high because he didn't have to paddle the boat around any rocks like he had to do last time.  We went through this lock thing too but there was no rapids because the water was too high.  There's this wall thing you can stand on at the lock and jump into the water but we didn't do that this time.  Jenny said she would do it next time with me when it was sunny and hot outside.  I have this cool life jacket with space ships on it.  Papa had to buy me this new one, because remember, the other one was too small!

Did you know I'm so strong?!!

I'm really, strong, did you know?  Today, I carried a bag of dog food from Mana's car, up the steps and to the back porch for Mary and her dog Chester.  Do you know how much it weighed?  It weighed 25 POUNDS!  I'm strong, right?  Did you know that I weigh 47 pounds too?

My day

Hey!  I had a good day but I don't know why.  Mana asked me and I said I don't know.  Do you do that too?  Anyway, guess what me and my Papa are doing outside right now?!!  Papa pulled out his boat - you put air in it and it holds 5 people!  Do you have a boat like that?  We got some huge inner tubes too that are yellow.  Papa and me are checking to make sure the boat looks like it's in good shape.  We get to float on the river on Saturday!  We are going to take a picnic lunch too.  Jenny and Mary can't ride in the boat with us - they have to be in their own inner tubes.  There's a little bit of rapids too!  I'm excited to go.  Only Papa, and me, and Mana are going in Papa's boat.  We don't go fishing.  We just sit in the boat and ride.  Last time (two years ago) when I got bored, I would get out and swim to somebody else's inner tube.  You should see how funny I look right now!  Papa put on me this life jacket that's a swimiming suit too (size 4) and it's really tight on my arms.  Mana said she'd buy me another life jacket this week but I think I'm good.  Papa had to peel it off me like a banana!  

I've been practicing for my graduation, did you know?  I am singing two songs with my group and one is called Yankee Doodle.  Do you know that song already?  I got a poem I'm 'posed to say too.  I've been practicing with my class.  

Did you know I'm coming to Virginia really soon?  It's just some days left before I come.  I get to see everybody!  I have a baseball game again on Thursday night and we get to bring snack again.

I went to a festival!

On Saturday, my Mom took me to the Crawfish Festival.  I ate a turkey drumstick, and a crawfish, and corn, and jumbalai, and some gatorade and frozen strawberry lemonade, and potatoes.  I got to play on a bouncy house, and I rided on little boxes that spinned around, and I rided on swings too - all with my friend Landen.  I did a obstacle course thing too.   It was a lot of fun but I felt like I was going to frow (throw) up on the spinning box cars and I thought my left flip flop was going to fly off but it didn't.  Me and Mom were gone all day and then we went to dinner too.  At dinner, I had a burger, and mashed potatoes and a drink.  

Today, I got to help Papa with some planting stuff and helped Mana water.  Me and Papa got in the pool.  Jenny was supposed to but she said no because the sun wasn't shining really bright.  The temperature was 80 degrees today.  It rained really good last night.  Did you get some rain too? 

Hey Grandpa and Gaga ~ you remember that dinosaur egg that you gived to me that I had to put in water to watch it come out?  Well, guess what happened?!  It came out some and I had to crack the shell so the rest of it could come out.  It's a teenage dinosaur - it's not a baby or little kid dinosaur.  I took it to school to show my friends and they thought it was really cool.

I catched some little grasshoppers today to feed to the chickens.  The chickens acted funny because when they would peck at it, the grasshopper would jump!  My ducks are really big too and they like to play in their little swimming pool.  They jump in and out and go under the water and flap their wings and splash all over the place.  

I love you!

YAY! It's Friday!

You see that picture of me in that go-cart?  My hair doesn't look like that anymore because I got a really cool hair cut!  It's short, but not really short like when my Daddy cut my hair.  You'd like it though.

I had a good school day.  When I got home, me and Papa got in the pool together while Mana cooked dinner.  You know what she's making?  It's one of my favorite things - mac and cheese!!  

I'm still playing baseball.  I played last night!  I got two good hits and when I played on first base, I got this boy out!!  My daddy would be really proud, right?

Yesterday me and Momma played in the pool with my friend Landen and his momma.  I had a great time.  It's time to eat now, so bye!  Tomorrow, me and Papa are going to play in the pool again!

My day...

Hi everybody!  How was your day?  Mana says that's nice to ask people how their day was.  My day was good.  My Mom picked me up from school and then at home, we swimmed in our pool!  The water is warm now (83 degrees)!  Some days ago, I got in the pool and it was 68 - Mana only said I could stay in there for 15 minutes.  Then, a few days after that when I got in, it was 72 degrees.  Papa came in the pool then but Mana still won't come.  I'm glad the pool is warm now.  It was fun swimming.  I'm watching a Spy Kids movie now - do you like those movies?  I like to watch them.  

Did you know my Papa turned 50 years old?!  We had a party last Saturday and Cherie and Brad and Braeden and Rhylee and Gram and Granddad and Kristin came to his party.  He got some cool presents too.  

I'm happy about summer coming.  But, I still have to go to my school.  But one week, I get to do gymnastics for 5 days!  Papa said I will really like it.  I went to the gymnastics place one time for Syna's (classmate) birthday - that was a lot of fun.  I get to go to the beach in the summer too with my Grandpa and Gaga.

Kristin came to visit us too.  Me and Kristin played games and we watched movies together.  

My two teeth are growing in from the ones I lost.  I got a silver dollar for the second tooth that came out (I think I told you that already).

School is almost over.  My graduation is on May 20th and Mana said she will put up pictures.  My last day of kindergarten is May 25th!  I'm big because I'm going into first grade!  Did you know I get to go to my school again next year?  I really like my school.  And, I got lots of friends too. 

I love you.  Bye!
