Me and my coach

I heard that a friend of mine was playing soccer this fall and I really wanted to join his team. With a little finagling (and a promise to be the assistant coach) my dad got things sorted out and I'm on the right team. Here I am in my very own soccer uniform. No. 7! Today we got shin guards and cleats so I am all ready to go. And I even call my dad "coach."

Off to kindergarten

Can you believe it? My first day of REAL SCHOOL was today! I have officially started kindergarten.

Like my snazzy new backpack?

I'm so excited to carry supplies and homework and my snack.

Here I am signing my name before entering the room. That expression on my face isn't anxiousness, I'm just tired of having my picture taken.

Alright mom, I've found my name tag, hung up my backpack and found the Lincoln Logs. It's okay for you to go now mom. I'll have a great time so don't worry about me!

A lucky day!

My cousin Nina is visiting and we took her to a local amusement park. One of the best things at the park (besides the rollercoaster) is the games! And today I won big!!!

I got the ball in the red square and won (another!) gigantic frog. I won another one of these frogs almost a year ago. My other frog is blue and now he's got a big yellow friend! I think my parents might suggest I retire from playing that game... I seem to be a little too good at it.

More Michigan Adventures!

I've been up to all sorts of fun things while on vacation in Michigan! Here are a couple of highlights. 

I got to go for a ride in Grandpa Chip's fancy sports car (it looks an awful lot like Lightning McQueen!). It was AWESOME!!

Yesterday we were at Gun Lake and in addition to a pontoon ride I also went kayaking:
