Growing up!


I am feeling very grown up lately.
I turned six, started first grade, and I can clean my own room!

And like other big kids, I started losing teeth this summer! 
I've lost four so far--the bottom two front teeth and then the top two front teeth. 

The sad part is, I ate the first two. Don't worry, the tooth fairy still came and brought me quarters, but I was disappointed not to be able to hold them and put them under my pillow. 

The second two were pulled out the right way and I was so proud! 
Grandpa David pulled out one of them and Mommy got the second one while we were on our way to Bear Lake. I feel so grown up with my baby teeth falling out and big boy teeth coming in!

And I LOVE feeling all grown up!

Mummies and Spaceships

I've been worried about Mummies lately. 
I keep thinking they're going to come get me while I sleep. 
Daddy and Mama wanted to show me what a real mummy was, so they took all of us to a 
Mummy Museum.

 My favorite part was the underground tomb. 
We took flashlights (Tommy and I got to hold them) and went down a lot of stairs to see what it looked like under pyramids where mummies are buried.

See, Daddy told me mummies are really just people who lived a long time ago and when they died someone wrapped them up and put them under pyramids.
They put pictures on the walls too, but I don't know why they would do that. 
Mummies are too dead to see the pictures, but Tommy and I liked them a lot.

 Look at this mummy! That's his skin, all grayish brown and he looks sleepy (and a little creepy), but he's definitely dead--he won't be coming into my bedroom at night! HA!

 These are baby crocodile mummies! 
I don't know why they made these little guys into mummies...and I don't know where their feet went.

 I really liked this big mummy box. I wanted to give it a hug, but the museum put this big glass case around it, so couldn't get too close, but I did my best.

 Ooooo, this one had yucky teeth!
Tommy and I went crazy over it! Mummies are cool!

 Outside the museum, I rode a huge goat (or sheep, or ram, or whatever it is)...
 ...and hid in a funny little temple.

 Peek-a-boo!!!

 We had a great time!

After lunch we went to a space museum. Tommy and I loved the pretend rocket. We got to push buttons, twist knobs, and look at everything! We didn't ever want to leave.

 I wouldn't mind being an astronaut when I grow up...can't you just see me walking on the moon?
Oh, yes, you can!

Snow Adventure!

I love the snow, 
so I was super excited when Mama and Daddy announced we were having a snow day!
 We all got dressed up warm and got ready for the first snow activity...

 Ski-school!

 I had a teacher just for me 
and I was doing so well that I got to leave the first slope and try one that was a little harder. 

 I messed up sometimes...

 ...but most of the time I did great! I loved going fast!

 After lessons we had hot chocolate and made snow angels

 Then I played on the snow hills.

 Climbing was rough (and cold)...

 ...but going down was great!

 Daddy liked it!

 Mama liked it!

 I really liked it

I also liked playing on the tube-merry-go-round with Tommy.
What a perfect day!!!
