I Finally Get My Fish

For a really long time I've been asking mom and dad for fish, and this was the day. On Saturday September 18, me and mom went out to Petsmart and bought two goldfish. At first my mom was thinking about buying glowfish, but I wanted goldfish more. On the way home I named them Sammy & Charlotte, the one that looks like a koi fish is Sammy, and the one that looks like a goldfish is Charlotte. 

A closer view!

 

Bye Bye Dodge Challenger (Rainmaker)

For about 30 days we had a car that was called the Dodge Challenger, and we named it the Rainmaker. When we first bought it, every time we went for a drive it started to rain! It was sad to get rid of it. The reason we wanted to get rid of it was because dad didn't enjoy driving it as much as he thought he would. I wasn't that sad.

I look so cool

Can we just get rid of this car already

Like the back of this car? Jeeah I DO!

 

Cora's Birthday

It is Cora's birthday and she is turning 11. I know it's kind of scary, but it's actually not. Like I said before, most likely everyone has a cake for their birthday, and I had a blueberry pie, Cora had a brownie cake.

Singing Happy Birthday to Cora

"Okay, I'm about to blow out my candles" Cora said

 

A Day Trip To The Beach - Late August

I love going to the beach. Right before school started we took a day trip to the beach.

Chilling in the water

"Get down" I said "Agggg" Cora said

Do I have to be here

The first day of school

I'm so excited!

 

Mimi and Papa Visit

I'm never sure how many ancestors I have, but I know I have Grammie and Gramps and Mimi and Papa. Well, Mimi and Papa took a visit, and we went to Dix park again, but instead of looking at tulips we looked at sunflowers. Papa brought his camera, and took so many cool pictures of the flowers, he even got up-close pictures of bees on the flowers. Since Papa is experienced with cameras, we made a movie. I know the other movie we made, the script was written by Papa, but this time it was written by me! The movie was called A Ridiculous Vacation. We made this movie while mom and dad were out to the beach. All of us starred in the movie and it was so much fun to make.

Papa is teaching me how to use a camera!

Why was I here

My 9th Birthday

Before my birthday, mom took me on a bike ride to downtown Raleigh, which was a six mile bike ride. This is something that a nine year old can definitely handle.

I really enjoyed my 9th birthday because then I know that in one year I'll be in the double digits. The sad part was I had to take my ELA EOG on my birthday, but I didn't care, because when I got home there was a balloon being held down by a bag of kit-kat bars (my favorite)!

I know most people have cakes on their birthday, but me, no. Instead I had a blueberry pie, which was delicious. Mom had no trouble getting 9 candles into the pie!

Reading one of the books I got for my birthday!

 

A Visit with Grammie and Gramps

April 2021- Since dad's back has been hurting for a little while now, we decided to get his mind off of that and take a picnic. It was a beautiful day for a picnic, we packed sandwiches, chips, and fruits too. We had a lot of entertainment though, because a bunch of hawks were flying on the treetops. We had an amazing picnic!

Because of dad's back hurting so much, he had to get back surgery so the pain would go away, just like gramps. Anyways, since dad couldn't help much around the house and mom was the only one working, mom and dad decided Grammie and Gramps come over to help around the house, but not just that, also having some fun with Cora and me!

While Grammie and Gramps were here, Cora, mom, Grammie, and me went to an azalea garden to pass some time!
