Hi, I won a contest.

I went to the beach. I won a contest.

Addy received word today that she was the winner of a "Healthy Lakes" story contest in the children's division. The coordinator said she will receive a prize in the mail next week. Click the link for the story and a photo of Addy and Bob. You'll see that I typed the story exactly as Addy dictated it, with no editing. : )

Me and Dori looking at frogs

This is me and Dori looking at frogs. It is kind of science for me. I caught them, but I set them down on that rock. Why it was science for me is because we were looking at the patterns. This was really fun for me to catch a frog.

Me and Dori at storytime

This is me and my sister, Dori, at storytime. We are having fun listening to the books. Storytime is fun, you know. It is so fun I get excited when my mom tells me it's time to go to storytime.

Addy does her own math by herself

This is me doing my own math by myself.

4+4=8

3+3=6

and 1+1=2

From Mom: I was pretty proud when I saw Addy writing her first equations after we did an addition lesson. Her 6 is reversed, but she is little! I didn't realize she really understood the concept of the "number sentence" yet, though it was clear she understood how to count up the pieces to make the whole.

My first 4-H meeting

This is me and my friend, Sydney, making our craft from our first 4-H meeting. We had fun. Part of it we kind of had to be like indults [adults] because we had to sit down and listen to the rules of the 4-H meeting. So I had fun at my first 4-H meeting.

Making apples sauce

This is me and my mommy making applesauce. I did almost all the coring myself with a little bit of help from my daddy. We used an apple slicer/cutter. So all of us, but not my sister, Dori, made applesauce. This is us making applesauce.
