MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hope you have a merry christmas and hope you were good this year

First Day of Fourth Grade

On the first day of school I got my backpack and lunch ready and walked up to the bus stop. To my surprise, my mom and Ryan walked with us. At the bus stop, mom took some pictures of me and my friend April. I saw Victoria, my friend from second grade. When the bus came up, I got in line with her. The bus was really noisy like every first day of school. At school, I saw my teacher. Miss Reynolds is new to my school and she is really nice. I sat right right next to April and across from Victoria. Everything was so fun! I even like the new math this year. Did you k now that we get to switch classes for social studies? My social studies teacher is Mrs. Womack. She's very nice too. When I got home from school, I was very happy to see everybody. I told mom that my day was the best day in a long time. I was excited to go back the next day!

the beach

i love beathy beach one of the reasons why i love it is because the waves are huge if the waves are to big we just dive into it when its small we ride it in to the sand last time we went there dad dug a deep hole and i got in it and he coverd me with sand so it looked like my head was the only thing and every day a snow cone cart comes and we get snow cones plus have you ever had a snow cone with melted chocolate or melted marshmallows on it it dose sound gross but it is good i cant wait till we can go agin

swim party

every year my swim team has a end of the year party and last year like 60 min into the party it was way to rainy but the good thing was before the rain we got our trophies but this year was worst 10 min into the party a huge sound of thunder and then it was so windy it blew over our tent then tons and tons of heavy rain came down it was so bad that we had to go into the pool lobby it was so full of people that girls where eating in the girls room and boys where eating in the boys room and when it was only raining a little we did our trophies then went to get ice cream with just our family next year i hope no rain or wind

Crafting with Grandma

when grandma was here we got a shirt and sewed a star on it it was tricky but it was kind of easy because with the needle you go up down up down and i know how to sew a shirt and my mom thinks we should do one for christmas and sew a christmas tree on it and i loved doing that so for christmas i really want a sewing kit i cant wait to do it agin

Girl Scout Bridging Ceremony

Third Grade End of Year Celebration

Yesterday we were so lucky it didn't rain or thunder and lightening because we had such a fun party with the whole third grade. There was face painting, tug-of-war, volleyball, bubbles, chalk, water balloons and lots of food. First my mom and I did the water balloon toss and then I did it with my best friend, Reece. The party was so much fun!

Memorial Day Triathlon

This weekend I was in my first triathlon.  It was really fun but I thought I was going to barf at the finish line.    My favorite part was the swimming.  I got the fastest time for swimming in my age group.  The course for my age group 7-10 year olds was, swim 50 meters, bike 1.8 miles, and run .7 miles.  When I crossed the finish line I just wanted to die, but after I rested a bit and got the results I decided that I might want to do another one in September---MIGHT!

I came in third place over-all for girls in my age group!  So I got a trophy along with the medal that everyone got who finished.  I was so surprised since I was so tired during the running part!  A triathlon was pretty fun!

My New Look

Here is my before picture.

I was a little nervous.

My first look at my braces.

This is the new me for the next 12 months.  I was really excited to get braces because I like how they look and I'm excited that they will make my teeth nice and straight.
