Soccer

I have been begging mom to sign me up for soccer. Tonight I had my first practice and it was a blast. It's only four times and then we play a game at the end. I was also excited to have my friend, Will on my team. I'm the blue team and we get to rotate stations to complete different skills that help us learn how to play soccer. My favorite station was kicking the ball into the soccer net and scoring a "goal"!

Deanna Rose

Today the family headed out to Deanna Rose Farmstead with Mimi and cousins. It was safety day so we spent some time looking at fire engines, police cars and I saw the Children's Mercy helicopter take off...that was fun! Then we ventured through the farm to see all the great attractions. I enjoyed milking the cows and riding the tractors. Then I stopped off at the bank and picked up a map, which was my favorite. I was able to navigate myself through this huge farmstead. We saw goats, owls, chickens and turtles. We ended the day with a slide ride at the playground. It was a great day!

Adventure Oasis

As the summer is coming to an end the Herriman family is trying to squeeze in as much fun as they can. Today dad was off so we headed to a waterpark called Adventure Oasis. I loved every drop of it, except for the hot, very hot, pavement. It was only 102 today! I was super bummed when I was not tall enough to ride the gaint water slide, but had a geat time in all the other park areas. I wonder where tomorrow will take us?

St Pete Beach-Summer Vacay 2010

We just ended our family vacation to St Pete Beach in Florida. It was a great time. This was my first time to fly on a plane and see the beach. I must say before I even left KC I was very nervous about flying and wanted no part in the beach. I was afraid that "gators" were going to attack me! I was sure wrong! Flying was fun and I had to have the window seat(although I didn't want the window shade up). The beach was beautiful, but the water was very salty. I preferred playing in the sand and enjoying the pool water. One day we met up with one of mom's co-workers who was also vacationing with her family. It was fun to hang out with new friends. They made me feel right at home. We spent our days at the beach and ventured out at night. We ate some yummy seafood and went on a pirate ship cruise. This will be one week to remember and a special one with my family.

VBS

This week I went to vacation bible school. I had a great time learning about Jesus and meeting new friends. I even had two friends in my class that I already knew (Will and Max). I especially loved my teacher, Bailey. I can't wait until next year!

Nana and Papa's House

Last week I spent some time with Nana and Papa. I had a great time and they kept me very busy. I went fishing for the first time. I was little worried about touching the worms and fish. I didn't understand why we had to throw the fish back into the pond. I went on some tractor rides, 2 trips to story time at the library, sparklers and go-carts with Aunt Abbie. It was a fun week filled with new adventures and special memories. Thanks Nana, Papa and Abby for making my week extra special. See you soon!

Happy Bday Dad!

I'm away having some fun with Nana and Papa. I was sad to miss dad's birthday, but glad to see him and mom having some fun. They enjoyed a Royals game. Happy Birthday daddy!

Paradise Park

Today I had a play date at Paradise Park with friends. It's a little drive, but worth it! We started the morning off in the ball pit and then headed over to the pretend play area. The pizza shop was my favorite, imagine that...food! Then we had some water fun and finished with outdoor play.

Open Wide

Monday I had my first dentist appointment. I did very well and had a great time. Mom and dad have really stressed the importance of taking good care of my pearly whites! It has paid off since I received a great report. A few things though. I have all my top teeth, but missing one on the bottom. I have crowding, so the tooth my be under another one. I will also need a braces check around age 7. Really??? When I was done Dr. Evans gave me several goodies and let me pick 3 things out of the treasure box. He even made me a balloon animal. I can't wait to go back!

May Graduation

The tassle was worth the hassle as tonight I graduated from preschool to pre-K. I'm going to stay another year with Ms. Marianne, then go to a school setting preschool and then it's off to kindergarten with mom. I had a fun time tonight. We sang our calendar time songs and "Sally the Camel" is my favorite song. Then we received a dipolma and graduation bear. We ended the evening with a special treat....A MS. MARIANNE CAKE....YUM-O. Thanks Ms. Marianne for a great year of learning and growth. I look forward to the fall!
