Alyson's Place

My mom is running the Rock and Roll Seatle Marathon today. She left yesterdat and now us kids are at grandmas. I have been drawing alot and grandma is helping me. She has given me 4 drawing books. Two horse ones and dog one. Grandma Arnold gave me a bird one. Grandma Howlege has even given me a huge sketch book to use at her house. She wants me to start drawing bigger. So far I have finished a Thoroughbred and a Paint. I am working on a picture of two horses nose to nose. We just came back from a walk. We walked to the Gordon Russel Middle School track. The track is a quarter mile. I went around it once. I burst at the begging. Afterward grandma gave me advice. She said I should pace myself. And then when I have enough stamina I can start going for speed. Thanks Grandma! Go MOM! I can't believe it is 26 miles!

Our family has a cool blue ray player. You can watch Netflix movies on the t.v. if you add them. and if you are a Netflix member. We are netflix members. The big shows went in this order: The A Team, Air Wolf, Emergency!, and now Charles in Charge. It is my favorite one yet! if you are close or older to my moms' age range you know how funny it is! Hey, what is the big deal about cartoons. They have to start putting some old shows back on!

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wahkeena Falls Last we went to ice scream. It was Dairy Queen. Sorry, this won't be in order! this is Wakeena Falls ( sp?). it was the first fall that we went to. We were hiking on the Multnomah Falls trail and came across this little cave! This is me looking down from the top of the Multnomah Falls Trail! We actually made it to the top! Mom had to carry someone almost the whole time. But it was worth it! I had never been past the bridge before! This calls for some leg aches!

Ever seen Th e Greenway Gifts? Of course you haven't! It is the news paper that I write! I didn't know that I was good at journalism until now. Today I started eavesdropping with Helen. While we were eavesdropping we came across two little bugs. So I made a story in the paper that is called Bugs In Business. Hey, Grandma are you having a good time in Colorado? I sure hope so! I have already drawn tons of horses out of that book! There goes Mr. Bigs! Yesterday I had to let him go. It was so sad to see my little baby go out into the world to fend for himself! My only tadpole that lived! I watched him swim away for two minutes! Good bye big buddy!

Latest news school's out! Quick year if you ask me! Fly up was cool. "I got Mrs.Young," I say. " Mrs. Ingle," A girl named Alexis says. " Mr . Ziesler," my best friend Kallisa complains. 5th graders are out of here faster than you can say abracadabra five times fast! And new students as well. We are saying good-bye to more than 5th graders. The principal- Ms.Capps was here as long as the 5th graders have. We say good-bye to them all at the same time. The long time music teacher- Ms. Bradstreet is leaving us also. Her reason is not the budget cuts. Lucky Ms.Bradstreet is getting married to a guy named Ryan. Sara and Ryan sitting in a tree. We must say good-bye to a teacher who was only teaching for one year. Ms.Sexton had a baby. And will be missed much by her students. Long time assistant Mrs. Carey will be gone. Tears will well up in many student's eyes. The former police officer is now a retired school helper. Field Trip Fun You got that right!

Pioneers. did you know that that is the main subject in 4th grade? First it was fun. Now it is terribly annoying! First Pioneer day. Than Pioneer Journals! And then the book Hattie's Journal! oh and did I ever mention a trip to Phillip Foster Farms? That is the home of Sam Barlow's partner! It seems like every single turn I turn the teachers are teaching something new about pioneers! HELP!
