Catching up 2011-May 2012
What a whirlwind year it has been. Here are some pictures to catch you up on my year! 




Pink-break-the-dress-code day! Oooh yeah, wearing my pajamas to school!


Getting ready to show my Raider spirit at the football game!


I love hiking at Monte Sano, especially in the fall.



Good thing I was there to hold up that rock ledge.


Halloween 2012- Goth Little Miss Muffet and my pet spider.


Mom and Dad didn't dress up this year. They just went as themselves.


Dad bought me this as an early birthday present to prepare for the zombie apocalypse.


After months of planning, my birthday was finally here!



First, we had the family celebration at home. Jade sent me this uber-cool book that she made about our adventures last summer in Europe!


I even got a special delivery from HOGWARTS via owl post.


Then it was time for the party of the century! I had my party at the Westin at Bridge St, where we shopped, saw a movie, went swimming, and partied all night in our suite! Ashley's not getting tired yet, the party is just getting started!




Where's the party?


We're still going strong the next morning!


Baking holiday cupcakes for school. Christmas break here I come!


My new clubhouse dressed in it's holiday best!



Ashley and I decorated our tree in the clubhouse.


Merry Christmas! I was a good girl!


Our annual Christmas scavenger hunt gets under way!


Success! We found the treasure!


Cousins Christmas is such a blast!


Dad and I bought a great present for Mom's birthday. She says she always wanted one! 


Spirit week-Hillbilly Day! I won the prize for best costume! Look out, Ellie Mae Clampett!


I was Sam, the speaking mouse in the school play, Cinderella.


"Listen up, guys. Something important is going to happen today. There's going to be a ball."


I'm all packed up for Tremont camp. 



Having a picnic in the great outdoors with friends is so fun!


Rhea has to hold me down, I am so excited!


I got to see Katherine star in Willy Wonka, she was a great Charlie!


I FINALLY redecorated my room!


Minnie shared my breakfast every morning before school, and I think she snuck a few bites while I studied.


I turned into an alien right before the end of school. Here I am receiving communication from the mothership.


Purple Streaks for the last day of school because you know I had to do it!


What to do with all this zucchini from Nee Nee's garden?


 Bake zucchini bread of course! Stay tuned for more updates including all my travels......

Labor Day weekend 2011-or Water, Water, Water!

The McCains came to visit us over Labor Day weekend and it was a very wet weekend, one way or another. They arrived on Friday while I was at school, and Mom got the weekend started by showing them the zip line.

Elise gets a ride from her Dad!

Hazel loved the zip line too!

Once everyone was hot and sweaty, Mom took them down to the boat slip to throw rocks and cool their feet off.

The little girls had a better idea, and decided to get right in!

Ahhhh, that's better!

A quick rinse in the sprinkler is all they needed, and they were ready for more fun!

Even a little rain didn't stop us from having fun with water!

Lisey got in on the fun!

Hazel loved splashing in the puddles!

Of course, we had plenty of time on the lake!

Ashley and I showed off our kneeboarding skills!

Then we enjoyed watching Megan and Glenn defy gravity.

You can do it, Aunt Megan!

Wipeout!

Uncle Glenn mastered wake surfing.

Aunt Megan and Elise had a great time on the boat!

So did, Uncle Glenn and Hazel!

Taking a break before our next adventure.

Tubing!

We gave Uncle Glenn one of our wild rides!

Woo Hoo!

What a great weekend!
