school + county fair + football = FALL!

with september comes the start of the school year.  my first day of school was the tuesday after labor day and i started a new school here in banner elk.  i was so excited to go and have made a perfectly smooth transition at my new school.  i love my teacher and my classmates and we have so much fun doing projects, riding the elevator to go upstairs for music and prayer time and i love it when it’s my turn to be the line leader.  i am getting really excited to take a special treat for my classmates on my birthday and i can’t wait for them to sing the birthday song to me!

 

last week was the avery county fair.  it was pretty small, especially compared to the MV fair, but i still enjoyed seeing the animals, feeding the goats, eating a big hot dog and watching them make my funnel cake!   

this past saturday we went to lily baye and madden’s house for the hawkeye game.  i didn’t watch the game, but we did get to watch cinderella and i had a great time playing with friends.  mommy and daddy enjoyed seeing the hawks take another victory and i was proud to sport the black and gold with my clothes and an awesome tattoo!  

labor day weekend of FUN!

we had a super labor day weekend!  we kicked it off friday afternoon with a birthday party for my friend davis at the banner elk town park.  they have a little bounce house that they usually have set up in their basement.  they brought it to the park and set it up for all the kids to play on!  they also had an enormous cake that was a volcano!  they rigged it to erupt with some dry ice!  i got such a big piece of cake that i couldn’t even finish eating it. 

       

that night my friend amy arrived at our house with her sister kayla, her parents norma and brian and their close family friend who we call aunt dewie.  we had so much fun playing and went to tweetsie twice while they were here.  daddy went with us for the first time this season and we also met lily baye and madden there one time.  it got really cold at night with lows down around 40 degrees so we really got a taste of fall that weekend.

remember last month?

well, let’s finish up the month of august in this post since it’s already mid-september!  we had a nice change in weather the last part of august and it felt more like fall than summer!  i even wore jeans a few days since the highs didn’t get out of the 60’s!  we stayed busy playing outside at home.  i love drawing with sidewalk chalk and playing hopscotch and heartscotch in the driveway (heartscotch is the same as hopscotch except that instead of squares mommy draws lots of hearts). 

 

 

We also had some more wild west fun at tweetsie!  i love to help hopper and porter hammer in the last section of the railroad! 

   

of  course i am the best mommy to my froggies and babies at home and the best doggy doctor to my pookies!

   

mommy, daddy and i were also invited to a wedding shower at the shanty at diamond creek.  they actually had a sitter lined up for me but she had to cancel so i just went to the party too.  i was a very good girl and had a fun time being all cute for daddy’s friends at diamond creek.
