9/11 Memorial

Today marks the 18th year anniversary of 9/11.  I was not even born when 9/11 happened but I can only imagine what happened on that day.  As scouts, we commemorate it every year at school with a flag ceremony.  Mommy always gets emotional at this event.  It makes me proud to be an American.

First Day of School - 2nd Grade

Today is the first day of school.  I'm in the 2nd grade and my teacher's name is Mrs. Summers.  I know I will like her because my brother had her for 2nd grade and he loved her.  I'm excited for all the fun adventures that will take place this year. 

Aloha from Maui

We went on a BIG family vacation this year.  Mommy and Daddy took us to Maui.  We had to go on an airplane to get there.  It was an amazing place.  We snorkeled, swam, and surfed everyday.  We stayed at a very nice villa that overlooked the ocean and there was a spectacular reef right in front of our hotel.  It was like our personal backyard and the marine life were our pets.  We ate shaved ice almost every day.  We took a couple of day trips around the island and checked out a blow hole, cruised part of Road to Hana, swam in Twin Falls, did some hiking, and explored.  It was such a nice family trip and I hope we get to this every year!

1st Lost Tooth

Today I lost my first tooth.  It seems like I would never lose a tooth.  I went to the dentist last week and the hygienist told me that I had a wiggly tooth.  I was so surprised.  I immediately went to work wiggling it more and more until it finally came out.  Yay!

Summer Soccer

We joined i9 sports summer soccer. My coach is Ric Juarez and I really enjoy playing with my team. We spend most of Saturday at the park.  With each week, I am getting to be a better player.  I even got a medal for sportsmanship.

La Quinta

It's been a tradition every summer to go to Palm Springs.  The last two years we rented a house in La Quinta.  This year was extra special because Grandma Lucille and Great Grandma Carmen joined us.  We have a nice weekend relaxing and swimming.  I hope this is one tradition that never dies.

School's Out for Summer

Today was the last day of school and we had a pool party at Gugga's.  Their backyard is amazing.  We swam and enjoyed some shaved ice.  It was a great kick off to summer vacation.
