Game Ball!

On Saturday we played a baseball game and we finally didn't lose! We tied! Yay! It was a fun game. I hit a double and a triple. The triple was almost over the fence! At the end of the game I was playing in center field and the ball was hit to me. I fielded the ball and threw it to first to get the runner out. It was close, but he was out. That was the last out of the game. We kept them from scoring, so we tied the game! Everybody started jumping and running to the dugout and dad picked me up and hugged me! Then the coach (dad) gave me the game ball! Very cool.
Here is a picture of me in the concession stand with the game ball. We had to work in the concession stand after my game. It was cool.

ROCK ON!

Bald River Falls/North River

Here are some pictures of our family trip the other day. We went to Bald River Falls and hiked to the top. This is a picture of me on some rocks beside the trail.

This is a picture of me, dad and Helen looking at the Falls from the road. Pretty cool!

We also went fly fishing. Dad taught me how to fly fish. It was fun.
Here is what Helen does while I fish. EAT! Mom said that in the first picture she is eating chex mix and in the second picture she is eating a banana!

The picture on top is when I hooked my fish! Mom ran down the bank really fast to get a picture of my fish and here it is! I caught a rainbow trout!

Here is a picture of it up close! Awesome!

ROCK ON!

Finally!

My front two teeth have been loose for a long time. Today one of them finally came out. I twisted it for about seven minutes and then mom came in and twisted it for about five minutes. Then it came out. It feels really weird to eat and I keep on trying to wiggle it, but it isn't there so I stick my tongue in the hole. I can already feel the big tooth coming in!
Of course while we were pulling it out, Helen was right there beside me. She kept saying, "I want the tooth fairy to come!" She would also sing songs about me getting my tooth out. I think she was more excited than I was!

I added a new song to my blog for Wheat, Lake and River! I want to see you dancing to this one!

Rock On!

Walnut Mania!

I went to Nana and Papa's house on Wednesday and Papa asked me if I wanted to help him crack walnuts. I had never done it before, so I thought I'd try. And before you knew it, Papa and I had about 10 walnuts all cleaned out. He would hammer them and open them. My job was to get the stuff out. (the meat of the walnut) Look at the picture on the right and you will see that I used a little tool to pick out the walnut. I am really good at it! The treat was......brownies! Nana took the walnuts we got and she made walnut brownies!

This is a picture of me working hard.

Here I am with two walnuts that I picked out.

Do you like my new music on my playlist?

I Met a Famous Children's Author!

We were getting ready to eat dinner tonight when our friend Marilyn called and said that Mary Pope Osborne was going to be at Border's book store in one hour! She saw it on the news. MPO is the author of the Magic Tree House books. Mom and I finished our dinner very fast and we got there as quick as we could. I really like reading the Magic Tree House books and right now I am on #6 which is "Afternoon on the Amazon." We got there and bought her newest book, "Moonlight on the Magic Flute" and got a wristband. We listened to her talk for about 15 minutes and then we got in line to have my picture made with her. She broke her knuckle on one hand and her wrist on the other hand, so she didn't sign my book, just stamped it. Then we got good hot chocolate with a stick of chocolate, white chocolate and whipped cream from the cafe in Borders. We are going to see Magic Tree House~The Musical next week at The Tennessee Theater. Here is a You Tube video so you can see what it is going to be like. I can't wait. ROCK ON.

This is me with Mary Pope Osborne and her husband, Will Osborne.

Home Depot and Birthday Party

On Saturday morning, we went to Home Depot for the Kid's Workshop. My grandparents were in town to watch me play basketball, so we decided to go make something at HD before my game! It was fun, but the craft was kind of girly. I can't wait until next month when we get to make a race track!

This is Grankaki helping me with my trinket box.
Helen and me with Grankaki and Granbob

After Home Depot, I played my basketball game and had fun. I got the best effort star! On Saturday night, I went to Calyn's birthday party and hung out with her brother and my good friend, Tristan! The party was at Events at Sherlake where you jump and slide on all of the inflatible things! We had a blast! Can you tell that I was HOT?

Rock On!
