Thanksgiving

It was just Dad, Lucy, and me for Thanksgiving this year, and it was a lot of fun! Without Dorothy around we were able to play games all day and work on a few projects that have too many little pieces for her to be around.  I really enjoyed it.

Skiing

The weather has been great! They have been making snow at the ski hill and I have been able to go skiing a couple of times.  I am really enjoying going skiing.

Halloween

Before we went trick or treating we went to the forest service to go to the "bat cave".  We learned a lot about bats, made bat ears, and even got some snacks!

Rocks

We are still hiding and finding rocks around town! It is always fun to find a little piece of art when walking around.

Matching Shirts!

The girls and I got some coordinating dinosaur shirts in the mail the other day from Grandpa and I was so excited! I enjoy matching with the family....we all even wore jeans!

Tye Dye!

For Lucy's birthday we all got to tye dye a shirt, and here is how mine turned out!

Scavenger Hunt

We went to a fun scavenger hunt this weekend! I raced ahead and read all the clues myself...it was a lot of fun and I won some cool prizes.

1st grade

Today was the first day of school. I was so excited! Even though it was raining, we still walked to school....it felt really far because my backpack was so heavy. But I refused to give up, and I made it!

Still Rocking

We are still having a blast painting, hiding, and finding rocks around town.  Here is one I found yesterday on the walk home from checking the mail.

Salmon Jam

This past weekend was Salmon Jam, which is always a lot of fun in town.  I ran the one mile fun run and got a great time.  Next year I plan on doing the 5K!

July

I spent a little over two weeks visiting my grandparents in town which was a lot of fun! And I got to go help Dad at our property for a day, which I really enjoyed. The summer is flying by!

Cordova Rocks!

Our town has starting painting rocks and hiding them around town to make people smile.  Lucy, Mom, and I have been painting a lot of rocks and have had a blast finding different ones around town! Here I am hiding one that I made.

Hike

We have been taking the dogs out the road to go hiking after Dad gets off of work.  We were using sticks to map out how big our cabin in Talkeetna is going to be tonight.

Big Haircut

Now that school is out, it was time to get my hair ready for summer.  I think I lost about five pounds of hair....

Science Fair

This week our school had a science fair and I presented a project about freezing liquids.  I tested to see if different liquids expanded or contracted when they were frozen.  I really enjoy science and the fair was a lot of fun!

Visit

I was really happy that my family came to visit this last weekend.  I had a great time showing Aunt Allie the town!

Bike riding!

I have been practicing really hard at riding my bike! I am doing great without training wheels and can almost ride all alone.  It is a lot of fun, but also hard work!

Boxes!

We have finally finished unpacking all of the boxes after our move.  This box was just big enough for my sisters and I to play in.  Mom joked she was going to mail us to Grandpa.

Legos!

Lately I have been building some pretty fun legos.  This is the penguin car from the Lego Batman movie! It has some pretty awesome rockets that shoot out the front.

Ambush

With all the new snow we have had this past few days, I decided to surprise Dad with some snowballs when he came home.

Happy St. Patricks Day!

We all had green on for sure!

Spring Break!

I am going back to Anchorage for Spring Break! (Although it isn't very spring-like outside...) I am very excited to see my grandparents and this was the first time I had been on a plane with Dorothy!

Homecoming

I was selected to be the Homecoming Prince by my teacher! That meant that I got to present the crown to the Homecoming King during a ceremony at a basketball game. It was pretty loud and I was a bit nervous, but I did great!

Outdoor Exploring

When out hiking with Dad I found a cool ice cave to hide in.

Knitting

I have been learning to knit and started my first project. I am knitting a neck warmer for myself! I am very excited to get to wear it in all the new snow we have been getting.

Iceworm!

I had a great time at the Iceworm Festival! The weather was great, so we got to enjoy the parade.  We also met Baby Iceworm and baked cakes for the cake contest.

4-wheeling

We took the 4-wheeler out this past weekend and had a blast! It was a lot of fun being pulled in the sled.

Goofball

I have always been pretty silly and I chose these from the prize box in my school today.  Everyone has had fun wearing them!

Winter hike

We took the dogs out for a chilly winter walk the other day and everyone had a lot of fun!

Happy New Year!

I had a wonderful Christmas! I had a great time visiting my grandparents, aunt, and uncles.  The other morning Mom left her phone unattended and I was able to figure out how to use the camera!
