Month: January 2015

I was up at the crack of dawn to start getting ready for my bouncy house party. I set up all the flowers for my friends.

The bouncy house showed up early so we got to play for a while before the actual party after lunch.

Mom and Dad sprung for the giant one this year that had both a bouncy part and a huge slide!

We opened family presents before the party.

I can’t tell who was more excited. Me for the gift or B for watching me open it.

We took a pretend nap in the bounce house while Daddy was working.

I AM SEVEN!

My friends arrived and the slide got hot. We slide down on towels.

Let the cotton candy tummy ache begin!

Daddy was a great sport and made cotton candy for everyone.

We all stuffed our faces.

Even Grandma Susie took a turn at the slide!

After the party I wanted an AFTERPARTY. I wanted all my family to go out to Pizza Hut for dinner. I think my slice of pizza says “pizza” out of cheese?

I can’t believe I am SEVEN!

Tomorrow is my big day. I will be turning 7! I am having a small party. I have been working hard on take home gifts for my friends. I painted flower pots and then we went to Lowes and bought a bunch of snapdragons!

I worked really hard to make sure everyone got the right flower and even decorated the pots with shells from Honeymoon Island.

Time to tuck in the 6 year old for the last time. I insisted on LOTS of photos to document this momentous occasion.

Good-bye SIX!

How horrible to have to lay to rest Fishface the day before my 7th birthday. I loved Fishface a lot! He was my first betta fish.

I dug him a grave in the butterfly garden and added flowers and special rocks. I will miss him lots. After about 3 hours of mourning the loss I insisted with tears streaming down my face that we go to the store and buy a new fish for me.

Welcome my new fish. I picked a WHITE betta fish. It is named Sir Fangar. It only took me nearly an hour going through all the fish to make my decision.

UPDATE: My betta fish may be what they call a MARBLE Betta. It was white when I adopted it and now it is turning blue and red!

When we came in December we got 3 free passes so we brought Daddy, Grandma Jo and Grandpa Howie for a day of fun. We didn’t take a lot of photos because we were too busy having FUN! I was cold all day and not cooperative for photos. But I did go on all the coasters again, even Flying School!

Still my favorite ride is Island in the Sky. I love looking out at Florida. I also enjoy checking on the progress of the new Legoland Hotel.

Today at 4H we learned all about buoyancy. We learned what makes things float and sink. I learned the new term “flicker”. A flicker is something that neither floats nor sinks. It kind of bobs.

We made boats out of aluminum foil to see how many pennies we could keep up! I got 67 pennies. The best was 104!
