MS Walk

Dad has put together a team for the MS Walk on April 4th, and I am going to do it, too. I think two other people that I have asked are joining our team! I hope others will, too. I didn't know anything about MS before, but I have been reading about it. I am going to have an MS "sponsor" who has MS who will write to me and that I will hopefully meet. I am raising money as part of the walk. If you want to help, the website is:

Mom is helping me train to get ready and she said that we are starting tomorrow--it is supposed to be a BEAUTIFUL day--so I think that will be the perfect day to get started.

Science Fair
























Last night there was a Science Fair for the homeschool group and my brother and I were in it. I did a project about teeth and how they rot when you put them in coke and apple juice but the teeth in the milk were healthier then the others. I won third place in the fifth and sixth grade division. As my prize, I picked 4 six inch sandwich coupons from Subway. My Aunt Donna and my cousin Eli came by and I explained my project to them. One of the judges said that he judges the middle school public school science fair and that he was amazed at how stiff the competition was at ours and the quality of the displays. That made me feel good.

A Visit from a Baby







My Uncle Kevin and Aunt Trena came from Houston and brought my cousin Eliana (she is ten months old). She is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute. She likes it when someone will hold her hands so she can walk. She loved going up and down the stairs. I was the only one that she would let hold to read with her.

Valentine's Day

On Valentine's Day we picked up Maison and Abey to help us deliver Valentine's Day baskets to some of the widows and singles from church. They were glad to see us. We had a wonderful time giving them the baskets.

Bowling!
















Yesterday we took the twins bowling for the first time. They had a lot of fun. Peyton got a strike. I beat Caden by 1 pin and the twins only lost by 5 pins. After that we went to Wendy's for lunch and then we had to say goodbye till Thanksgiving. We had a lot of fun.

Peyton and Connor

Today Tad and Michelle came to our house with my cousins named Peyton and Connor. They had fun playing with the cat. They would take the yo-yo string and run around and Ginger the cat would chase it. We had fun playing with them. Connor is the one that posed for the picture while his brother was too busy playing with the cat

Grandma and Grandpa's house







Yesterday after church, we went and got sandwiches for everybody at church and then had another lesson in the afternoon. We went to mygrandparents' house to celebrate my Uncle Dave, Aunt Michelle, and my grandmas birthdays. My Uncle Tad came from Ohio with Aunt Michelle and my twin cousins (they are three) and another baby coming in September. We had a great time! In the pictures are Grandma with her birthday cupcake, Grandma and her new earmuffs for her trip to go see her sister in Minnesota, and Peyton at the table.

Banquet

Saturday night I went to the Quail Unlimited banquet (my dad is part of the board for Quail Unlimited). They restore habitat for upland birds. My best friend Austin came to. My dad won a pocket knife and gave it to me. I had a great time.
