Valentine's Day and other accomplishments

2.14.2009 - I love Valentine's Day! I made all of the valentine's I gave to my classmates. My school put on a special breakfast and Mom took Carter, Bree, Ellie and I to it. We got to wear our pajama's all day at school.

During the breakfast everyone put their names in a bucket for a raffle. My name was drawn and I won this cute little teddy bear in a basket. I shared the chocolates that came with it with everyone in my family.

I walked 50 laps in walking club. Everyone who had done 25 or more laps got a prize. Two other people in my class got a prize, but they was smaller than mine. I got to get one from the big brown box in Mrs. McNight's office.

This is the crown I chose from the box.

I get a toe token for every 25 laps I do during the lunch recess on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So far I've gotten 3 toe tokens. I hope to get a lot more.

I am proud to wear my toe tokens as a necklace.

Little House Celebration at the Eagle Public Library

Sat. Feb. 7, 2009 - We went to the library for a family event with activities related to the book, Little House in the Big Woods. We got to visit multiple activity stations. The activities included butter making, hair braiding, washing, ironing, and cleaning up. Aunt Carlee met us there with Tyler and Christy. It was a lot of fun but I am sad that I didn't get to play checkers or whittle bar soap.

Bree's favorite station was baking. She thought the play dough was really cookie dough.

This was my favorite station... getting my hair braided. I also like making a paper patch quilt.

Carter was good at cleaning up!

This week

A lot of great things happened this week.

I got to wear the hoop earrings Santa gave me for Christmas.  I had to wait to wear them because it hadn't been 6 months since I got my ears pierced. 

 

Ms. Anderson lets us earn tickets by putting our head down on our desks after recess to calm us down. Every Friday she puts the tickets in a basket and the Star Student  draw two names out.  My name was drawn out so Ms. Anderson let me pick a prize out of the treasure chest.  I chose this teddy bear that I have named Fluffy.

Oma gave me a bulb to take care of. I put it in the window cell and watered it every few days. I watched it grow a little bit every day. After a week or two, flowers popped out.  I love to look at them but the smell isn't so great.

Being sick is no fun!

January 23-27, 2009 - I started getting sick on Friday, mostly my head just hurt.  I stayed home from school but by lunch time I was feeling better so Mom drove me and I finished the school day. Saturday morning my throat really hurt so Mom and Dad gave me lots of children's Tylenol plus Cold throughout the day. On Sunday I completely lost my voice and I was sad because I couldn't sing in Primary. Monday morning I woke up with a fever. I slept all morning and didn't come out of my room until 2 pm. I felt better Tuesday but because I had a fever the night before I couldn't go to school again. I miss my voice and I can't wait until it is all the way back.

Just a little picture and video to "prove" that I really did loose my voice.

Sunday, January 18, 2009 - I was asked to give a talk in Primary. The theme was, "I am a spirit child of my Heavenly Father." I practiced my talk all week and when it came time to give my talk in Primary I wasn't scared or nervous.

Swimming at the YMCA

Sat. January, 17, 2009. Mom arranged for us to go to the YMCA with our friends, the Millers. I haven't seen my friend Kenedee in a long time so it was nice to spend a few hours swimming with her. We spent most of our time going down the really big water slide. It was a lot of fun.

Yahtzee game

Santa brought our family Yahtzee for Christmas.  Mom taught me how to play and then on New Year's Eve Grandma and I played against each other.

Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Camden came from New Mexico for New Year's.

 I not only won the game, but I got 3 Yahtzee's. My score was 508 and Grandma's was 220.

Christmas Day.

I couldn't wait until I could open my  first present from Santa. It was a puma bag with a water bottle and fairy book inside.  The name of the book was Willow's Under Water World.

I loved running through wrapping paper to see the presents under the tree. I wondered which ones were mine.  Daddy picked me to be the first to open a present. Santa gave me earrings, bubble bath, a bunch of Littlest Pet Shops. I also got some clothes, stencils, and arts and crafts.
