4 Blue Ribbons!

Even though I act silly in class... and I have noodle legs every once in awhile at gymnastics... I recieved ALL {4} BLUE RIBOONS at our gyms SPRING MINI MEET!

I ACCOMPISHED MY GOAL FOR THAT MEET!

Before December I Was...

We spent Thanksgiving at the cabin in Pinetop with the Sherwood side. We had so much fun.
My Poppy Sherwood's twin came over with his daughter & her baby. He was so cute!

My Poppy planned a "shoot-a-thon".

My favorite part was......

ALL THE JUNK FOOD!!!!and matching of course....

My family thinks I am funny because.....

When the kids were playing games we played "spin bottle". We would spin a bottle. If it pointed at you when it stopped you had to say who you liked....

When it came to me I said " My family & JESUS!"

Why is that so funny????

I was in a parade for VETERANS with my Cummard family and it was so much fun.

(I even helped make the float.)

I LOVE *LOVE *LOVE school.

It is so much fun.

I really like when my mom rides {her bike} or runs by when I am at recess playing. I love playing "hand games with songs", jump roping, and making new friends. I love P.E. and reading group & library. I love my teacher & all the helpers. I really love going to school with all of my Cummard cousins (and Noah). I do not like how EARLY school starts though!

2 times now, my mom {and Noah} came and ate lunch with me and my friends... and cousins!

I am very smart... {and a smooth talker}

One Sunday after church, I was trying to help mak some money for a new house.....

I decided to help make food or drinks for people... like my dad, or grandma, or poppy....

EVEN THOUGH I was at their house, & it was most of their food.... they PAID ME!!

I even made this sign:

{The picture is a glass of water with the $ crossed out! IF they bought food, they got water for FREE!!! It was a really good deal!}

Then came.........

You'll have to stay tuned.

I have been really busy with some WAY EXCITING STUFF!!!! (including Christmas)

I LOVE being with my GIRLS!!

I have been a busy kinder-girl.
I love my friends & family... Here's some pics at what I've been doing.
(Above-sleepover w/ ROX)
My mom told me if I was a good girl, she would take me to Ocean Blue...
I must've been really good, cause I got to take Quincy & Molly!
Since we had fall break, we had a few sleep-overs, too!

We went to the Scottsdale Train Park w/ Crystal & her kids!

I even did service for G-ma & G-pa Cummard!

We all went & planted some flowers.

I earned another sleep-over....

this time with Gabs & Carter!

I danced at the D-Backs game in September & had so much fun.

My biggest fans cheered me on!

We spend alot of time with all of my cousins & I love it.

I love when my mom does KIDS NIGHT OUT at USA GYM, I wish she did it all of the time.

I help my mom all of the time! We made some YUMMY peach JAM!

For family night, we went & watched another Diamond Backs game...

& look who I got to see!:

I love being a girl!

Loving MINI COMPANY at HIGHER GROUND

We had a blast at Rylie's house for our MINI COMPANY party!

We danced & yelled as we watched the Hannah Monatanna movie!

Some of us practiced our heal stretches & needles....
AND after lots of practices we had our 1st performance as the

2009 HIGHER GROUND DANCE COMPANY
We danced at the Diamondbacks game. Some of my family came & watched.. (thanks)
I love being on company with my friends. PLUS, I have a BIG sister: (I love Kaylee)
We were on that HUGE t.v.!


We stayed for most of the game & had so much fun!

Obsessed with THE SANDLOT!

Ellie and Noah were OBSESSED with the movie THE SANDLOT for awhile.
{man, it's such a classic}
(Then it switched to LITTLE RASCALS for awhile)

Everything Elle & Noah talked about would turn into something about THE SANDLOT.
They would randomly quote lines or bring up the movie out of the blue.
Ellie even said to Mike {my boss at USA GYM}: "L 7 WEINIE".
Luckily Mike said "Ellie, that is one of my favorite movies!!"
One night Ellie & I went to eat at YOKO {fast food} & she was pointing behind me & said:
"Oh my gosh mom! Look!"
I turned around, looked around & then asked what she was pointing at.
Then Elle said: "Mom, the wall says L 7 WEINIE!"
Noah likes to dress himself on Sundays. For a very long time it was whatever basketball clothes he could find. BUT for NOW- he likes to dress like this:

He asked Shalae if when T-Ball was over if he could wear his jersey over another shirt like Benny.

THAT HE DID/DOES!!!!

He'll say: "Watch me run like Benny!"

He'll make sure that his shirt swings open! We all laugh.

(He loves riding his bike like Benny, too.)

All we need is "The Beast/Hercules" to chase them!

I Got To Be on Channel 10!!

This past Thursday- 4 kids from the gym (Usa Gym) got to be on Channel 10 to promote the Saturday event at Chandler mall. (promoting summer camps around the valley)

Ellie & Renee stretched out at 7:30 in the morning.

They were so silly- even that early.

Next to USA GYM was a reptile booth! AHHHH

(Ellie, Renee, Hayden & Hunter Taylor)

Renee wasn't afraid a bit. I think all of the kids ended up petting that snake.

One of the segments was promoting the science camps. Our 4 kids got their faces & shirts right in there. (alot of close up shots- ha ha)

The last spot the kids appeared in was with the Easter bunny at Chandler mall.

All together - our kids were in 3 shots.

1) The gym talking about our AWESOME summer camps. (See the website for more info!!)

(Elle did a good handstand, a back-hand spring {a lil sloppy} and she hopped around like a goof for a couple seconds- sorry Mike!)

2) The Science Guy's segment

3) The Easter Bunny.... (Ellie was getting bored.. so she decided to turn in circles instead of standing still. Corri (with Fox 10) was trying to ask all the kids what they got in their Easter baskets. When he turned to Ellie....... she was busy twirling & putting her arms in her shirt... NICE ELLE!!

It was lots of fun!

The kids got to do gymnastics, be on t.v., talk to the Easter Bunny, & we even got a $10 gift card to Paradise Bakery for being there to see the bunny. Not too shabby.

Next time, maybe I'll talk to Ellie about standing still if the camera is rolling.

.........................

OH YEAH- I never posted this!

Ellie has been setting goals for herself.

One day on the way to gymnastics, she told me that one of her goals was to learn her back handspring on the trampoline.....

Well, before we left that night she practiced a few...

She would ask me "how many fingers do you have on my back?".

Then she'd say "Take away a finger"...

When she asked me to not touch her I hesitated quite a few times.

BUT.......

As you can see we need to work on the form... but - WOW!!

She wanted to accomplish that before she was 5 - and she did!

After she learned it she proudly said "And I am STILL FOUR!!!"!

Good job Elle. Keep accomplishing your goals!!
