My 10th Birthday

I turned 10 the other day. Here are some photos of me opening presents. As you can see, Ainsley wanted to help a lot!

Walk to End Hunger

This year, we decided to do an early Thanksgiving morning walk to raise money to fight hunger in the Twin Cities. We raised nearly $500 and the whole walk together raised over $275,000!

"Outdoor Ed"

At school, we have a naturalist who comes and tells us about things going on around us outdoors. And this year, we have a beautiful new dock in our school's nature center.

Here is my class at outdoor ed.

"Trick Treat"

This was the first year that Ainsley could join us trick or treating for Halloween, and we had a great time!

Our pumpkins were a kitty, a (hard to photograph) bunny, and the Death Star.




Our costumes were Darth Vader, Rapunzel, and a space shuttle astronaut.




We did eventually convince Rapunzel to put her blackberry down.

Benny for VP!

Benny ran for student council vice president, which would automatically made him president next year, but he didn't win. I still liked his campaign posters though.

My New Hat

I got a new hat for winter and I've been really excited to wear it more or less everywhere.

A Karate-Filled, Halloween Preview

Here are pictures of me in my two costumes, Rapunzel and Tinkerbell. You'll also see some slight movement of my right leg, because Cameron has been teaching me karate kicks and I like to do them all of the time.





Which one am I going to wear for Halloween? "Both!"

Ainsley

Meet the Newest Student Council Member

Guess who was elected to student council for a 2nd straight year?



I am going to run for vice president on October 11. That means I would be president in 5th grade!

A Visit to Grandma Martha - The Pool

The hotel we stayed at had a pool that was great for kids like us and our cousins. I took these pictures while we played.
