October 27 - GP Fall Festival

We went to the Fall Festival at my school today. I got to see a lot of the teachers and a bunch of my friends. They had games, bounce houses, food, a haunted maze, and cool music playing! It was lots of fun...

Hitting Miss Greene in the face with a pie!

Me and Miss Greene with pie on her face!!! I did that!! lol

Playing a game...I hit a Double for 20 points!

Waiting with my friend Matt (and that's Matt's mom behind us!) to go into the Haunted Maze

Mommy and I are gonna charge the camera batteries and head to Crowder Mountain State Park for a couple of hours. There is a bad hurricane coming to the east coast and they say we will probably lose all of our leaves when it hits. Tomorrow we're going to a Trunk or Treat and Mommy is gonna check with Miss Katie to see if she's gonna go trick or treating with us later this week.

I also started gymnastics again a couple weeks ago and Mommy will put all the pictures and videos up from it after Monday's class!  I've gotten to do the parallel bars, rings, and worked on tumbling. It's so much fun!

October 26, 2012 - CSL Treat Street

Mommy's law school put on a Halloween event called Treat Street with lots of activities, crafts, food, and fun! I got to dress up. I originally wanted to be a mailbox but Mommy said I needed something quick since we hadn't made it yet. I decided to dress as...

Mommy designed my shirt! How do I look?!?!

A close-up of my hair and makeup!

The full costume, which I am wearing to the P!NK concert in March with Mommy!

I had a lot of fun and got to meet some of Mommy's friends from school. I also got lots of compliments on my costume! I have a black jacket I will wear with the costume in case it's cold. We're gonna go to a trunk or treat tomorrow!

October 18 - 21, 2012 - Panama City Trip

 We went to Panama City to celebrate my 7th and Savannah's 8th birthdays. We had so much fun! I went to the park with Aunt Brenda and Aunt Jenny while Mommy finished a paper for school. Then we were going to go to the dog track but it was closed so we went to the Science and Discovery Center for a haunted trail and games. It was SO scary! I never want to do that again.

On Saturday we went to St. Andrews State Park and did my 7 year pictures and played in the ocean. We had a picnic and I played a game with Aunt Jenny on the beach. We had a little party at Aunt Jenny's then went to the Panama City Marina to fish. I caught a stingray, so did Mommy. And Uncle Brandon caught a sea turtle that he had to get the hook out of so we could release it back, unhurt.

Sunday afternoon at the beach before me and mommy left

The waves were so little and we could walk out really far. It was awesome!

Aunt Leanne and Mommy's friend Brittany gave me money for my birthday and I used to buy this skimmer board

We got home on Sunday and I went right to sleep. I was so tired, but the weekend was so much fun. Mommy and Aunt Brenda have decided that we will spend part of Christmas break in Florida!!! Mommy, Aunt Brenda, and Aunt Jenny are going to do a polar plunge in the ocean but I definitely think the water will be too cold for me. But I will be happy to be at the beach again and spend time with Aunt Jenny, Uncle Brandon, Madalyn, Macy, Savannah, and Aunt Brenda no matter what we do.

10/13/12: My 7th Birthday Party!

My 7th birthday was Saturday! We started out with breakfast at McDonalds. We went through the drive-thru and Mommy paid for the car behind us. The lady behind us was really surprised and waved at us as we drove away.  Then we went home and Aunt Brenda ordered tickets for me and Mommy to go see P!NK in concert in March right before Mommy's birthday. I am so excited to get to go!

Mine and Mommy's excitement at getting P!NK tickets!

Then it was on to my birthday party at the park. It was Scooby-Doo themed and so much fun!!

Goody bags, photo props, and craft center to color and make dog tags

My favorite birthday present that I got to buy with money from Grandma and one of my friends!

Me with my Scooby-Doo I got from one of the gift cards from my friends. So cool!

And that was my fabulous birthday!! Hope next year's is just as good.

October 1 - 12 - Crazy Times

It's been super busy around here! Mommy was inducted into the Order of the Crown (apparently it's a big deal). Mommy had her midterms so she's been stressed but we squeezed in party planning at the same time for my 7th birthday. And I got lots of cards from people this past week before my birthday.

Showing off my flexibility! Yes, those are my hands, on the opposite side of my body. But where are my arms?

Such fun times the last couple of weeks, but my birthday party is even better!
