Finally, the last T-Ball Game of the season

10 games?  That's it?  Yeah, it's over already.  Today was the last T-Ball game and I had a lot of fun.  

Coach pitching again, and doing well!

Here it comes!

Thwack!

It's going far!!!!

My name in "lights"

Giving hi-fives to the other team

Afterwards, we had a little party with out team.  Lots of yummy 

treats and even a game ball for each of us!

Niles Canyon Railway Field Trip

My class took a field trip to the Niles Canyon Railway.  The railway was part of the original transcontinental railroads, so they are more than 100 years old.  You know I love trains, so this was the highlight of my school year.  I've been looking forward to this day for many moons.  I had to be at school at 8:30 this morning...so I of course, woke up at 6:45!  (I am normally not an early-riser....)

We rode on a school bus to Sunol.

Mom and I, in front of the train before boarding.  

Some seats are outside!

Smiles from ear to ear!

Got my ticket!

The conductor punched my ticket!!!

Big strong train.

Can you see us?

Sitting with Jason and Daniel George

Watching the trees go by

Checking out the open-air cars

Look at all the trains they have

Another one.

This one says Southern Pacific

Then Western Pacific

Nice orange one

This nice man told us the history of the train.  :)  Thanks!

He's got a nice conductor outfit.

Big train

Snack after the train ride.

Riding back with Jolene!

Mother's Day...at Great America??

Okay, it was Mom's idea...We went to Great America for Mother's Day.  Well, just for a couple hours.  Mom and Dad decided to get season passes, plus we get to visit Gilroy Gardens with the pass too.  Anyhow, we are getting kind of old for Happy Hollow.  The roller coaster at HH is for babies.

Eyes wide and ready.  First time seeing the sites.

And look at what we see!  OMG!  Giant Pikachu!!!!!!

On the little kid roller coaster.  So much better than HH.

We are determined to get one of those....

And Cameron won one for me!  He got his from HK, and now, I have

a matching little one!  Next time, we'll get the big one!

T-Ball, but with coach pitching!

Almost our last game of the season.  It was too short.  But today we had fun because we got to hit a moving ball.  The coach pitches to us.  If we can't get it done in 3 tries, then we switch back to the tee, but it's still fun!  

On first.

Hanging out in the dugout!

Mother's Day Tea at school

On the way to school with Mom for the Mother's Day Tea party.

Doing our song and dance.  I'm holding hands with the girls!

Hi Mom.

I'm supposed to be massaging Mom's back....

Presenting my card and flowers to Mom...

Aren't I sweet?

I made those flowers

And the card reads...

Little bedtime notes

I have been writing notes after Mom turns out the lights...Yup, that's right.  I'm writing notes in the dark...well, by nightlight.  Mostly, I write notes about Cameron. 

This says...Cameron was playing Pokemon

Can you read this one?

do your homework cameron and tomorrow....

Well, Mom told me not to write the notes in the dark anymore and that if I want to write notes, I should just write them during the day...so that is what I am doing.  

Spelling 5-11-12

Here's my spelling test for May 11th.  I didn't even get to study the spelling words this week.  I was sick on Monday and Tuesday and never got the spelling words from the teacher.  Mom came to school on Friday for the Mother's Day event, and remembered that I had a spelling test that day.  I studied the board that morning....and got 100% that afternoon!  Yay!  It wasn't hard though, "thorn" was a word from last week anyhow.
