Jimmie Johnson #48 at Lowe's

Cameron and I did the Lowe's project today: it was making a #48 Jimmie Johnson Lowe's Chevy. Here is a picture of me with my car. Cameron couldn't be troubled for a photograph.



We got Hayden her own apron while we were there too!

Twins win 4-3 and we made it to the 8th inning!

To celebrate my graduation, we went to the Twins game at the Metrodome. We got there early to play on the plaza.



We were also pretty well behaved - we made it to the 8th inning, which is the longest we've ever made it into a game. We could have gone later even, but we wanted to beat traffic.

Of course, it was our cousin that stole the game.


In the end, the Twins won and we all had a great time.

Graduating from Joyful Noise

Today was my graduation from Joyful Noise. We had a nice ceremony and then went back to my classroom to take pictures with the teachers and other honored guests.

Here are some pictures from the ceremony.






Here I am with my Mom and Dad.


Here I am with my brother and my cousin Hayden.


This is one of my teachers. Her name is Mrs. Rose.


My other teacher's name is Mrs. Anderson.


After a celebratory lunch at Perkins, we went home and I opened all of my great presents.

Como Park Zoo Fieldtrip

Joyful Noise went on a field trip to the Como Park Zoo on Wednesday. Daddy came along as a chaperon and me, him and my friend Nathan went everywhere.

Here we are on a bronze tortoise...



And here we are with the Sparky statue.


Here we are at the polar bear sculpture.


We went past all of the big cats and over to the giraffes and other hoofed animals.


Nathan was tired and wanted to sit down, so here I am with the gorilla statue.


We had a nice picnic lunch and then we took the bus back to school.

Baby Kenzie

Mommy and Daddy had some friends over for dinner last night and they brought their two daughters. I got to hold Kenzie, the littlest one.

Herb Planter at Lowe's

We went to Lowe's this morning and made herb planters. Cameron made one too, with Dad's help. I planted mint and basil in mine. Cameron didn't want to get any dirt in his.

Cameron and Max at 3 years (and two weeks)

We finally remembered to take my picture with Max the Bunny last night. Here I am with Max.


Here is me and Ben. I am definitely catching up to him.


Here we are again in a "cute" pose.

I'm about half way through my latest round of swim lessons. I can swim under water and I am learning how to do the freestyle stroke. Here I am watching my teacher.

Growing Grass

Both of us planted grass and are growing it for projects from school. Mine is much further along than Cameron's, but his will soon be as bushy as mine.

My teachers at school made me this great birthday crown last week.
