Matching pjs!

Grandma Maverick sent us all matching pjs she made. I love the pants with feet!

Home again

I got to go to Anchorage for the week with my Dad.  It was a lot of fun to see all my grandparents, but I am happy to be back at home with Mom now! And it is nice to see Dorothy again too...she is a fun baby!

Happy Halloween

We dressed as the band KISS and blasted music as we walked around town.  I was the Starchild. Mom said I am the star child in the family. :)

Halloween!

We went to a Halloween carnival over the weekend.  It was a lot of fun! I dressed as an astronaut.

Birthday!

It is my birthday! I had a wonderful day! I got to have donuts for breakfast and pizza for dinner. It was very yummy.

Family outing

It has been a beautiful fall and we spent the day playing in the sand. Mom wanted to get a picture of the whole family....we nailed it.

Busy like a bee

I have been really busy this month! Kindergarten takes up a lot of my time.  We had a friend come visit and went out on a family hike. It was nice to get out and enjoy the sunshine.

Learning to cast

Dad took me fishing this weekend and I did my best learning to cast! It is kind of hard, but I was starting to get the hang of it...no fish were caught this time, but I am excited to try again.

Kindergarten!

I started kindergarten today! It was a lot of fun.  I get to go to gym every day and swimming lessons once a week. Mom said I could even buy lunch on pizza days!

State fair

The state fair was a blast this year! I got to get my face painted, ride rides, play games, and mom even entered my Super Tiger and he won a second place ribbon! It was really neat to see my Super Tiger there.

Anchorage trip

I got to head to Anchorage to visit my grandparents and we had a great time!! I love going to the zoo because they have the best popcorn.

New little sister

My mom had the baby and it was a little girl.  Now I am a big, big brother!

Dog hike

We took the dogs out hiking on Saturday, which was a lot of fun.  We took a trail that had boardwalk pretty much the whole way and we saw a few lakes as well. We even got to have a few snacks on the trail.

Fastest kid in town

This past weekend I ran in the one-mile fun run for Salmon Jam.  It was a lot of fun and I finished in 11 minutes! Man...I was a bit tired after that, but I ran really fast.

Anchorage

I spent the beginning of July in Anchorage with my grandparents and it was a lot of fun! I got to ride bikes, play in the water, and go to the zoo. It was a lot of fun and I can't wait to go back next month when we head up for the baby.

Hiking man

We have been busy! Mom had some friends come to town for a knitting event and we have been going out and showing them the town. We have been on a number of hikes, including going to the top of the ski hill! I was quite the little hiker and learned how to identify different trees on the way. It was a lot of fun.

Fish art

They moved the fist art from main street to the parking lot at the Cordova Center so I don't get to take as many pictures with it...but I still love climbing on it any chance I get.

Dressing up

I got some new clothes this week in a package from Grandma and Grandpa Maverick. I was very excited to have a shirt just like what my dad wears!

T-ball season!

This week we started t-ball! Lucy is old enough to play this year and we are on the same team, the Diamondbacks. We had our first game on Saturday and it was a blast.

Exciting week

This week was my Dad's birthday. I love making cakes and decorating them! I also have started practicing a real bike! I am doing great, but still need a lot of practice.

Pigs!

This week our preschool went on a field trip to go see some pigs.  We have been talking about farms all week and it was fun to go see the pigs.  We took the food scraps from the cafeteria to feed them and it was a lot of fun....but they sure were stinky!

Super Tiger

My mom knit me an awesome new stuffed animal! It is a super tiger and I love it.  I was very excited to take it to show and tell this week.  I even helped sew the cape!

Anchorage Trip

We just got home from a trip to Anchorage.  It was wonderful! I loved being on the airplane and we got to do a lot of fun things.  We went to the museum, some parks, and got to see all of my grandparents.  I can't wait to go back!

Art Show

The whole school had an art show opening at the museum this week.  It was pretty exciting to see the art I created hanging in the show! All of the art was based on the book The Dot.

Blue tiger

I had a blast at library fun night this week! We got to play a lot of games, have some snacks, and get our faces painted!

New sweater

My mom knit me a new sweater and I love it! I helped pick the colors and it turned out great. It also has a pocket and a nice warm collar.

Happy Easter!

Easter weekend was full of fun! We went to the pool, got to go to an Easter craft event, and a giant egg hunt.  Lucy found an egg that won her a prize basket and one of the prizes was vampire teeth. They are hilarious. There was also a break from the rain and we saw a gorgeous rainbow out the window. Sadly, it disappeared before I could go look for the pot of gold.

Shooting

I have been shooting with Dad a few times and I really enjoy it! Dad said soon I will have my own gun to take to the range and practice with.

Outside

There is nothing like being outside when it is nice out.  The weather last week was amazing and we were even able to take the 4-wheeler out. I spent the day taking rides with Dad and helped stack wood for the fire.  We cooked hot dogs for lunch, which was awesome!

Sewing!

I got a sewing kit from Grandma and Grandpa Maverick last week and Mom and I worked on it this weekend while Dad was out of town.  I worked really hard and finished it all by myself! Since this picture was taken, Mom helped me attach a string so that it is a bag and I have used it to carry a car places.

Sunshine!

This week has been gorgeous and we have been outside as much as possible. Spring has come early!

Little Sister

It's not always great having a little sister, but some days she is a lot of fun.

Giant horse!

Dad brought home a GIANT stuffed horse last week. Lucy and I have had a great time riding it all around the house. 

Disguise

Sometimes I like to wear a disguise....

Anchorage trip

I spent the last two weeks in Anchorage with my grandparents and had a ton of fun! I got to go to McDonald's play land, the museum, Chuck E. Cheese....it was a party!

I cashed in all of my tickets for this fun Scooby-Doo game!

The museum has a fun new space for kids that included this circuit building station

Puzzle

The other morning Lucy and I worked on our space puzzle. It has 100 pieces! We did most of it alone, but Mom did help a bit. 

Crazy hike

This weekend we went out for a hike where we had never been before.  The road was super icy on the way (at one point we hit a bump and Snickers fell out of the back of the truck! He was fine) but once we got there the trail was fine. We even stopped and made hot chocolate in a field before we headed back home.
