The Lake with Aunt Brenda & Savannah

We went to the creek at Vera Cruz then to the lake in Theodosia with Aunt Brenda and Savannah.  Aunt Brenda and Mommy were throwing me in the water and it was so much fun!

I spent the rest of the time in Missouri with Mommy, Aunt Brenda, and Savannah mostly at the creek and lake. I also got to hang out with Aunt Casey and Uncle Chris and all the kids. My friend Hayley came into Missouri from Texas and I got to hang out at Aunt Millie's in her pool with Hayley. When we got back to NC, Mommy and I went to the mall and I got my ears pierced. Here are the pictures from the week (but we don't have the pictures from the lake right now, but Aunt Brenda is mailing the card to Mommy so she can update this soon).

6/29/12 - Getting my ears pierced at Claire's in Gastonia

Me and Lyndsay, the girl who pierced my ears. She's 20 and has a mowhawk and was really cool. Mommy says we look alike and now Mommy knows what I will look like when I'm 20.

One of my pierced ears. I wish they would have had orange studs, but instead I'm stuck with pink because it's my birthstone

We went to Miss Karen's pool yesterday and swam for about 4 hours. Her dog Vegas is so funny. It's almost July 4th, which means Fireworks time! So excited. I'm going with Mommy to spend the time with friends in Charlotte...including Mommy's law school Dad and other friends. Super excited to see everyone here again.

Me, Mommy, Aunt Brenda, and Savannah went to Panama City with Uncle Brandon, Aunt Jenny, Madalyn, and Macy for a few days! It was so much fun! Here are the pictures from our trip!

June 9 - 18

Back in Missouri. I got to see my Aunt Chea and cousins Alondra, Adireal, and Amber, and Izzy and Kayla. I had such a good time playing on the slip and slide with everyone. We even had a MUD fight!

Then we went home to Mansfield and Mommy and my friends joined us for a party at the park. We had water balloons and tons of food. And I took pictures of everybody.

Now, I am spending a couple of days in Panama City, Florida with Mommy, Aunt Brenda, Savannah, Aunt Jenny and Uncle Brandon, and Madalyn and Macy. I'll have Mommy post more pictures after we finish our vacation here, but here's one from today!

We'll be hanging out at the hotel while Uncle Brandon has a job interview and we'll be doing all sorts of family pictures! So excited about going from the beach to the pool and back to the beach all day tomorrow! I love PANAMA CITY, FLORIDA!!!

May 28 - June 8

Finally!  The end of school! Super excited to get my summer started with Mommy!  We have lots of super cool stuff planned, but this was the end of my school year:

Went to Chimney Rock with Mommy and her friend Jackie and Jackie's kids. We had so much fun! These are random pictures of (1) Me being silly and acting like a woodchuck, (2) the view from the top of Chimney Rock, and (3) me at the creek at the bottom of Chimney Rock.

I also had Beach Day at school and then Kindergarten Awards. Beach Day was so much fun...we got to play in the water and sand and did some really cool projects like making a paper turtle and painting a beach bag.

I will be in 1st grade in the fall when I go back to Gardner Park. I really hope most of my friends like Allie are in my class with me! I miss them already! We'll be back in Missouri for a while this summer and I hope I get to see my old friends too!
