Mama was away for a few days so we got to have a lot of fun with Daddy. On Saturday he surprised us by taking us to see Jumanji : The Next Level... he said he was just going to pick up coffee at Philz but I saw the ticket pop-up on his phone so I knew he was lying!

For Daddy's birthday we went to Yosemite. We stayed in a cool cabin that had bunk beds and a fire pit. It did not snow while we were there but there was snow on the ground that was really fun to play with. Yosemite is really pretty, I want to go again in the spring/summer to hike.

We went to the opera this weekend, we saw Hansel & Gretel. I thought that the house would be made out of candy but it was not. Before the performance we did a scavenger hunt and I earned a gingerbread man cookie.

I went to my friends' house for Thanksgiving dinner. It was fun and we watched The Angry Birds Movie 2. The food was great and the chocolate lasagna that my Mom made for dessert was so chocolatey.

Soccer season ended this week AND I had my piano recital - my Grammy and Uncle Jon came to see both. In my soccer game I scored 2 goals, I was so excited because I really did not want to end the season without a goal and then I got 2. I also did a good job at my piano recital, Mrs. Lisa was really proud of me.

Darby and I trade-off taking Cheese to school with Mama. This week's class was Puppy Preschool where she learns some and plays some. Cheese can be shy with the other dogs so we give her treats when she plays with them.

Wednesday was dress like your best friend day. Mama got Darby and I matching Mario Kart shirts to wear - Race Ya.

For Halloween this year I really wanted to be Dr. Strange. We could not find a kid costume for him so my Dad made one for me. My favorite part is the Eye of Agamotto necklace that he made light up with a battery pack.

On Saturdays we play soccer and Cheese comes to watch. Darby played early this week so I got to watch her game with Cheese before I played my game.

It's fall break. Last week we stayed home with Mom and Dad and Cheese, and this week we are going to art camp and sports camp. I was jumping in the bounce house at sports camp and split my shorts so dad had to bring me new pants - when they called Mom to tell her she thought I split my lip.

Pizza and juggling are pretty cool and I get both when we go to Pizza My Heart on Tuesday nights. Ben lets me participate in some of his tricks and I really like his poems.

We got the best surprise this weekend, a surprise is different than a secret. We were going for a drive and then Mom and Dad stopped for water and gave me a book to read to Darby, it told us we were about to meet Cheese - our new puppy!

On Friday night we went to see Captain Marvel in the park. I really love this movie and made my Mama and Darby wait until the very last minute to see the post-credits scene with Goose and the Tesseract.

Friday was school spirit day and we were supposed to wear our favorite color. I went all red and Darby went with purple sparkle.

I turned 7 and a half on Sunday. I forgot so my family really surprised me. We had yummy chocolate cake and I got Just Dance 2019 for my Nintendo. We had fun dancing and they sang happy half birthday to me.

I had my first soccer game this weekend, my Dad is my coach and the team is called The Fireballs. I am excited to play soccer and hope I can make a goal.

Second grade is great so far! I am in room 9 with Mrs. Garrett and the class is full of kids I know and a bunch that I do not. Mrs. Garrett seems really nice and her class is really warm and comfy.

My mom is being sappy these days about how big we are getting and how quickly time is going - we went to Sonoma to celebrate the end of summer this weekend. I am excited to start 2nd grade next week, I don't know who my teacher is yet.
