A lot has happend.

Wow. SO much has happened since I blogged last! I started first grade, which means I go to school ALL DAY! Mostly it's good, but sometimes I have bad days. I also went to Seattle and Yakima for Christmas! That was really fun. Here are some pictures you might like.


Here's me after my very first day of first grade!



I turned 6 years old! Can you believe it! Grandma Judy had a party for me at her house!




Mom helped me dress up as a MAD SCIENTIST!!! for Halloween. I was also a Black Hole, but not at school.




I think I was dreaming of Christmas and a Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot Range-model Air Rifle.



That's me and my sister Adah on Santa's lap. About 5 seconds after this picture, Adah started screaming. She is afraid of Santa!





Here we are posing of a Christmas picture. It took about 15 pictures to get a good one!






Getting ready for Christmas Number 1. I decided to go as Mario.





Christmas Number 2 with Auntie Claire in Yakima!





Christmas number 3 with my new baby cousin Delaney!

Adah Pascale! My sister!

Hey! I have a new baby sister! She was born yesterday and her name is Adah. I chose it.

A Man, A Plan

The other day we were in a parking lot and Levi, pointing to a sign said, "Mom, that word, L-E-V-E-L, is a palindrome! What does it say?" Awesome. He may not be reading yet, but I think his vocabulary is good.

More News!

Oh yeah! I almost forgot! I have a new baby sister! Kind of...

Very Occasional Update Pt IV

Hi again everybody! Here are some more things that I do.

I played soccer. Our team was the DRAGONS!!! We were really good. I kicked the ball sometimes.




Also, I had a birthday party! It was really fun and I got so many presents I STILL haven't opened some of them.

Very Occasional Update Pt III

Hi everybody. I've been up to some stuff. I went camping with Kieran, see!



I also played t-ball with my friend Jacob, which was pretty fun. Sometimes it was boring though. Especially playing right field.

My Internet

At the beach I shoveled sand.

At Disneyland, I went on rides like Big Thunder Mountain, Soarin' Over California, and Buzz Lightyear Astro-Blasters.

I liked playing in the fountain at California Adventure. I liked playing at the playgrounds (the one with the black slides and the 'nother one with the ship).

I liked swimming in the swimming pool and I liked it when daddy acted like a whale and went "pfffffffft" and spit water everywhere.

I liked playing at Toontown. I liked pressing the glass factory button and breaking the glass (for pretend). The door went "Bzzt bzzzzzzzt bzt."





I shoveled sand next to the world famous Santa Monica Pier.



I am really good at flying rockets.




Chip Chip Chip Chip and Dale! And me.





I liked breaking the glass at the glass factory.




And that's about enough of this Disneyland stuff.

Brighton Early

June 8-10 marked our first camping expedition of the year. There are literally dozens of nice, rustic campgrounds within a couple hours of our house. This weekend, we went to the Murray Lake Rustic Campground at Brighton Recreation Area. It was pretty awesome. We had some fires, got some mosquito bites, lit some fireworks and ate some vegan indian food for lunch.

Oh yeah, we also went on a two-mile hike through the woods. Levi walked every step of it and had a blast. We had been planning to carry him most of the way. Now that we know he's such a trooper, we're going to make him do it every weekend!

Also, animals ate our food. Ziploc bags do not count as "sealing" food. They got all of our buns and our muffins Friday night. Really, all that changed was that we ate more bacon for breakfast instead of muffins. Bummer.

Future Ring Bearers of America

So, a new post every other month? I mean, every third month? That is a keepable schedule!

In a couple months (exactly, from today, actually), Levi's uncle Zach is getting married in Eugene, Oregon. It should be a fun wedding and a good trip. Levi is especially excited at the prospect of getting to carry some rings on a little pillow. He's already been practicing. Here are a couple of pictures of him in his wedding suit just in case you wanted to see some pictures.

Oops

Well, it's been a long time since this blog got an update. It almost doesn't make sense to talk about what happened between the last post and now. Suffice to say that it was a wild, sad, joyful, exciting, scary, stressful, crazy six months.

So, now Levi lives in Michigan. He seems to be very fond of it so far. I think he might think that all states are about the size of DC though, because every time we drive more than 15 minutes he asks, "is this Michigan," as though he thinks we might have left the state all together. As for how Michigan actually is, well, it's dang cold. The town of Rochester is pretty nice though for a typical suburb. On the whole, things are going well. We'd post some pictures but we don't have a working digital camera anymore. The camera and battery have parted ways, it seems. Sorry.

In His Own Words

Levi wants to write on his blog today, so I'm going to let him. Here goes:

mkmlmnlncknsdcndkjcjkjkssfjkckdfjdhfkdhfffffffjkfjhfjdhfhjdjddgdggfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfrrfgfggdfgregeyg ge

Now he is going to dictate:
I love Daddy. I want to go see I love Daddy. I want to climb up. How about.... how about..... how about... I want to climb up. I want that one. tookatookatookatookatooka. That one, I want that one. Pens. So, that's a big picture. What did I said? What did I said Mommy? You say, so that's a little picture, I say big picture. So that's another picture. uh, cups. I want cups to say those. Hi Grampa and Gramma. Mommery, mommery, mommery. I want to talk to Grampa and Gramma. Where's Grampa and Gramma live? Uh, pens. How about...toast.
