This week

This week I didn't have school on Thursday or Friday.  It was parent/teacher conferences.  My parents met with Mrs. Cloward and she showed them some of my schoolwork. She also said I am a good student and that I am a pleasure to have in her class.

Uncle Corey and Aunt Erin were in town so they dropped by for a visit.  I always love to see them.

I played soccer on Saturday and I got very hot and tired.  I cooled off after with an ice-pack, popsicle, otter pop and a nice cold glass of water. Then I had quiet time in my room for a half an hour to rest. 

I also had my primary program on Sunday.  I got to give my line last. It was, "I help others know they too are children of God when I share the gospel."  My favorite song in the program was, "Latter Day Prophets."

When Ellie was born

I have a new baby sister, Ellie Jane Davis.  She came last Friday, September 19th at 1:56 pm while I was in school.

It was fun to watch my mommy's tummy grow with Ellie in it. I felt shiffery and excited inside right before she was born.

We stayed with Oma and Opa from Wednesday to Sunday. Oma took us to the store to get flowers and balloons for our visit to the hospital.

Oma told me to hold Ellie for a picture because we would have to leave for soccer practice. But we talked about it and decided that it was too special of a day and I got to stay.

Aunt Jessi helped us make this great poster to welcome Ellie home.  It has an ink footprint and handprint for all of us and room for Ellie to do her.  I loved putting the balloons on the banister to surprise Mom and Dad.

"Bus" "Lunch" "Recess"

Last Friday, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders sang in a musical program.  Each class sang three songs.  We went first and the songs, "Bus", "Lunch", and "Recess."  My favorite was "Bus" because I liked the actions. Since Mom and Dad were in the hospital delivering Ellie, Oma and Carter came to support me. 

Can you see me? I am in the back row wearing white.  The 1st graders are really Ghost Graders because of all our red eyes!

Oma said it was hard to take video or get a good picture during the program so we got a better one right in front of the school.

Just Daddy and Me

Carter was sick today so Mommy and Bree stayed home from church with him.  That meant that I had Daddy all to myself.  We even got to walk to church together.  I was very reverent and remembered my part while practicing for the Primary Program. When church was over I made sure to share my candy with Carter and Bree.  I was also happy that Carter was feeling better by the time we got home.

It is hard to see, but Mom put a twist and bow in the front of my hair.  She found a blog with lots of fun hairstyles that we are going to try out.  The blog is http://shedoeshair.blogspot.com/

 

It was a beautiful day to walk to church.

This is my soccer!

My soccer team is named "Chickas." So far in practice I have learned to dribble, pass, and kick to the goal.  We have played two games and I've loved every minute of it.  I even got to  play goalie for one quarter yesterday.  There are 10 girls on my team.  I am making friends with all of them and their names are: Molly, Emma, Avery, Me, Makayla a.k.a. "Peanut", Alexa, Sophia, Izzie, Stella, and Gracie. 

Here I am kicking the ball. Do you like my uniform?

We are a U7/U8 team and I barely made the age cut-off. But we were short a player so they let Emma play on my team even though she is U6. It is fun to be on the same team.

I saw that other girls had soccer bags.  I wanted one and then remembered this cute bag Grandma and Grandpa gave me for my birthday.  It even has my name on it!

Having Fun with Grandma and Grandpa

My Grandparents came up from New Mexico. They brought Uncle Camden, Aunt Kaydrielle and her fiance, my new Uncle Zach. Uncle Brady, Uncle Corey, and Aunt Erin all made it too so we could all be together for a couple of days.

I was having fun in the AstroJump when Uncle Camden noticed my was crazy.

Grandma, Mommy, and I took Aunt Kaydrielle wedding dress shopping. At one of the shops there were some pretty flower girl dresses.  I got to try on 3. This one was my favorite.

Aunt Kaydrielle looked beautiful trying on the dresses.

Uncle Brady took me for a ride on his motorcycle. It was lots of fun.
