My Shadow

I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.

The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow-
Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow;
For he sometimes shoots up taller than an India-rubber ball,
and he sometimes gets so little that there's none of him at all.

He hasn't got a notion of how children ought to play,
And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way.
He stays so close beside me, He's a coward you can see;
I'd think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me!

One morning, very early, before the sun was up,
I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup;
But lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepyhead,
Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.

-Robert Louis Stevenson

Emma Today!!!!

I am poem.

I am a dancer and a 7th grader.
I wonder about the heavenly maker.
I hear the winds magical beat.
I see myself with point shoes on my feet.
I want to be a wonderful baker.
I am a dancer and a 7th grader.

I pretend to be on t.v.
I feel whats it like to fly like a bee.
I touch the charterers  in all my books.
I worry about all evil crooks.
I cry when I can't go to the lake.
I am a dancer and a 7th grader.

I understand the Bible.
I say "Live, Love, Laugh".
I dream about gymnastics.
I try to make my flips fantastic.
I hope that you know who I am.
I am a dancer and a 7th grader.

10 months old...and a day.

Here is Emma 10 months and one day old. She is standing on her own crawling really fast and every once in a while taking a few steps.

Chico with the Depoali's

We went to Chico for labor day weekend. And had a ton of fun. We went out on the the boat once with the Tier's and once with Sky and Henry. There were a few hours of great glass water and I got in some good jumps.

Father-Daughter!!!

Every year my grandparent church in Chico has a camping event called the Father-Daughter. And we had a lot of fun and I felt really close to my dad at the end.

                                           Me and my Friends. Holly, Jessica, Emma, Megan.
                                                  Megan was trying to teach me Crazy 8's.

                                           Daddy does worship in the father-daughter and the father-son.
                                          He said to say that the girls defently sing better than the boys. And we keep the 
                                           Song sheets longer. The first night with the boys they were
                                           Paper airplanes and in the fire.

                                             We stay in a tent trailer with Grandpa and Bethy.

Alivia looking cute even when camping. 

                           They have a sand castle contest every year. Can you guess what we made?? Leave a  comment of what you think it is.

                                                           What a beautiful Ocean!!!!!!!!!

                                                                  Figured it out yet

                                   Alivia and Sarah swam in the ocean. Girls just want to have fun.

                                                                   What a cute Family.

                                             Starving, Hungry, Ready for Chile and hot dogs.

                                               Lucky us sleeping in a heated tent trailer!!

Delta

We stayed on my Papa's boat in the bay for 3 days...well we didn't really stay in the bay, we stayed in the delta. But these pictures are of the drive up from the bay to the delta. We left at 6:45 and got there at 2:45. It was long but really fun.

                                                 I will post more later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
