Birthday Celebration #2

Today, for my 13th birthday, I went to the Blowout Bar with Maddie and Emily.  Maddie and I got our hair curled, and Emily got hers straightened.  We then went to Henry's for onion rings, artichoke dip and mud pie.  Then we went to Washington Square and I got jeans and Vans:)  Such a fun day!  Thanks mom!!!!!!

Don't know why the pic is so blurry...

Pictures from the Last Day of School

These are some pictures of me some of my friends on the last day of school.  Sorry that all the pictures are so small.  If I tried to make them bigger they got all blurry.

 Maja, Sarah, Emily, Holly and Callie

 This is a picture my friend Alexa took with all of our feet in it.  She edited it so that our names and the colors of our shoes were there.

 Skylar is moving this summer so she was going around hugging everyone:)

 Me and Holly

My favorite teacher Mrs Houghton retired this year so everyone wrote a little note to her on her whiteboard.

We went to the beach for the day.

Got ice cream in a town right by the beach.

Went shopping at Nike.

Dad and Uncle Jim played softball one night.  Dad's team needed an extra player so he played.

Played a GAZILLION games of bad mitten.

Went berry picking.

Happy Fourth of July!!!

Field Day

The Friday before school ended, we had Field Day. At school, Field Day is the event that kids look forward to the whole school yaer. It is when the P.E. teacher and the tech teacher set up a bunch of outdoor and indoor games. At different times, two or more grades go out and play the games. You get 1 token for each game you play. With the tokens, you can buy snacks.

For three hours, I volunteered to help run the games. It was very long. But at the end of the day, it was finally time for the fifth graders to have fun.

Emily and her friend Keihanna.

Max and his buddy Ryker.

I got my Ears Pierced!!!

Over the weekend when my grandma was here, my aunt and mom surprised Emily, Maddie and I. They said we could get our ears pierced!!!

Me and my pierced ears. :)

They're Here!!!

Our cousins just got back from Hawaii and we finally got to see them. They came over to our house to watch basketball games on T.V. (mostly the parents) and play. The older girls- Me, Maddie, and Emily- created an Easter egg scavenger hunt for Max and Peyton. I did one for Maddie too. I can't wait until they come over again!
