5 Years, 5 Weeks...SUMMER!!!

Summer school ended and vacation began!  I really enjoyed my new school (Shepard) and my teacher Mrs. Sicht.  I was really well behaved except for one day when I pushed a girl at recess.  We were playing a game and then ran to get in line.  I didn't want her to get in front of me so I pushed her.  She fell down and skinned her knee.  My consequence was taking her to the office and I felt so bad, I fessed up to Mommy and Daddy when they came to pick me up at the end of the day.
I have been really brave at trying new things this month.  I had my first sleep over at Aunt Lisa and my cousins' house.  I am able to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, swim a short distance all by myself, and am working on tying my shoes and riding my bike!  I've been playing t-ball in the backyard with Daddy a lot. 
I went to Mommy's family party (the 2nd annual Frankenberg Fest) and had a blast with Mommy's cousin's daughter Nicole.  We had a fun get together at our house on the 4th of July and I watched fireworks outside our house. We have also made several trips to the library.
I got a cold with a stuffed up nose and coughing, and then my ears started hurting.  I tend to complain about a lot of ailments so Mommy didn't believe me for a while but Daddy suggested we go to the doctor.  I had a double ear infection and swimmers ear!  My swimming lessons were over for the summer-that was a bummer!  I also went to the dentist and found out my bottom two front teeth are a little loose.  I was so excited that I said, "This is the best day ever!" 
I was really excited about Mommy's birthday, even more excited than she was!  I went to Michael's with Nana Arden and my cousins and made a craft box for her.  We went out to Steak N Shake afterward.  I was so excited for her to open her cards and presents! 
I love holding Emily

 I even helped put her jumper together

 4 generations

 Playing soccer in the yard with Daddy

 And t-ball (see the fox watching me in the background?)

 Waiting for fireworks

 I got to help feed Emily

 And entertain her!

 All this helping wears me out!

 But I really love her!

Even when she pulls my hair!

I put all her toys out so she could choose

 The Boyer Girls

 Getting ready for my 2nd session of swimming lessons

 I'm really improving

 Although I like to do this during lessons sometimes

 Rainbows do make me smile!!!

Swimming on my own!
