photo booth

T:

We went to my mom's cousin David's wedding.  They had a photo booth there.  It was lots of fun.  We took tons of pictures.

I took some of just myself.  By some, I mean a lot.

Here's some of my mom and my sister and her friend who called her Friend.  When she tried to walk away, she would say, "Don't leave, Friend, don't leave!"

This is some of my cousin, my dad, and Neave.  They took lots of funny photos.

This is of my sister, my cousin and my other cousin.

This is of Stacy, and Brinda, and my two cousins.The photo was awesome.

Walk walk side of the road.  Walk walk across the road.

My daddy found a duck on the side of the road.  A little duckling.  The duckling was quiet when we first saw it.  Once we put it under a chicken, it was totally gone.

Noah, our dog, was smelling it.  It smelled like a turkey, I think. He's a *biiiig* doggie.  My dad kept the duck for as long as he could.

This is hen that we put the duckling under.

Camp Masala fun

B:

In June we went to Camp Masala.  It's an Indian camp and this is a group picture.

There's Rupa (little girl), and then me and Theresa and Kyla and another counselor.  And we were playing cricket.

This is the Red Pandas. Red Pandas is the youngest group of kids. They were playing cricket.

This is me and Rupa dancing and everybody else dancing. Rupa is an Indian girl. She lives in where Keith and Paulette live. North Dakota. Keith and Paulette are Cullen's grandma and grandpa.

This is me, Rupa, Grace, Nivya, and Theresa. These are my friends.

That's Neave, and she's in the Red Pandas, drawing a picture of an Indian god.

Chess

T:

I was playing chess with Brinda.  I like to play chess a lot.  We played six games right in a row.  

And I won 'em all.

My favorite piece is the knight.  I like it because it moves into positions that are easy to get other pieces trapped in.  And it's hard to follow.  Very hard to follow.  

Coo-da

N:

These are our new turkeys. Tucker and Cullen are looking at them.

Elo and Brinda and Megan are looking at them now. Elo laughed whenever she heard them.  They cheeped louder than Elo laughed.

There's the turkeys eating their food. I feed them every day.

There is me looking at the turkeys.  I am looking at the camera instead of the turkeys. I like the turkeys.  They're noisy and loud. They like weeds. I pick a whole handful of weeds for them every day, and they eat them by the time I come back, every other morning.  The end.

I like to play with Eloise.

Liam

B:

This is Liam with his mom.  And he was first born, and I think he was two days old. Now he is six weeks old. So exciting!

That was Cullen and Elo holding Liam. This is Cullen. He is 4 years old, and one with the pink shirt on is one year old. They are my cousins.

That is my brother Tucker.

This is me holding Liam for my first time. I feel awesome.

This is Cullen and Neave holding Liam. We kept Cullen and Elo when Megan, Mark, and Liam went to the hospital.
