Birthday Surprise

Yesterday, we went to soccer and then we came home. Momma asked if Daddy could go shopping while she made dinner.

When we got home, Daddy asked if I wanted to go shopping with him. I said yes. Adrian wanted to go to. Daddy said that you got to go last time and it’s Audrey’s turn.

I hoped (and I thought) that we were going to get my ears pierced so I got an elastic and pulled my hair back. We went to Claire’s and we got my ears pierced!

Daddy said, “She wants her ears pierced!” The lady who worked there took some earrings that I could pick from. I picked some little diamond earrings. They are very very pretty. When I was looking at the earrings she said, “the older you are, the more it hurts”. I am glad I wasn’t a hundred when I got them done!

She washed her hands and put some gloves on. Then she cleaned my ears and she took a marker and marked my ears. She asked Daddy if it was even. Daddy said to move a little bit this way. We kept having to move where the mark was because she thought it was either her or the shape of my ears, but she could not get them to look right.

The last time she did it and it worked! Then she took a machine and Andrea said it was a big machine. She put it where the marker was and then she pushed the button and the earring pushed my ear and it hurted a little bit. Then it connected to the back. Then she did it again to my other ear.

We went shopping. Then we got home and surprised everybody.  I was  holding where my earrings were so Momma would not see and it would be a surprise.

Creation Museum

We went to the Creation Museum. We had fun!

We went to the petting zoo. There were horses and two kangaroos. We saw a peacock. We had lots and lots of fun. We got some food for the animals on the ground. We fed the animals. I don’t have a favorite, but I liked them all.

Cherry Picking

On Sunday, a friend said we could pick cherries from her cherry tree. We were told they were canning cherries.

We went this morning. They taste yummy yum! We picked and picked and picked. We had lots of fun. We weighed them and they weighed about ten pounds!

We might make a pie with them and maybe jam. And eat them! Momma says we will probably freeze some.

My 7th Birthday!

Today is my birthday, and Adrian said “happy birthday” to me about a dozen times and I like that!

We had a soccer game this morning. We did good. We had fun.

We are going to have pepperoni pizza or ham and pineapple pizza. I have a chocolate cake with vanilla frosting and ice cream. Andrea, Mark and Adrian are decorating my cake. I don’t know what it looks like. They gave me some purple frosting. It tastes go-oo–od!

I like horses. So Momma took us to see some horse statues in Lexington.

Robin Babies

We went to Grandpa’s house last week. He put his ladder up and we got to look in a nest. There were baby newborn robins.

I took this picture yesterday when they were about a week old. Momma had to crop it a little bit. I hope that I can see them before they fly away.

Winnie the Pooh and Piglet Too

Today we went to see the play Winnie the Pooh. The play was done by a nearby school. They did good!

Piglet was my favorite! She got a pie in the face because she got the most money at the play (they were raising money for the drama team by voting for favorite characters).

Thank you Oma and Opa for taking us!

P.S.  We had our first Upward Soccer game.  I did a GREAT, Great, Great job. Our team worked hard and lost 5 to 7. I am looking to our next game.

First Soccer Game

Andrea and I have our first soccer game this Saturday, 1 May at 10:00. Mark’s first game is this week too (at 9:00), but he will probably miss it because he has his Pinewood Derby Race at the Elkhart Plaza.  We do not know if we will see his race, though we will watch them set up.

Hope to see you at Nortside Church of the Nazarene to cheer us on! Our games are most every Saturday for the next two months.
