January to November 1995

Sunday January 15, 1995

Last Saturday I went to Joe's Valley with daddy to set some goals. I set the goal to say my prayers each night, invite a friend over two times and to help in the kitchen. Yesterday I went sking and did well. Sometimes I cried when I fell down.

         During the Holidays friends of ours from Texas the Knights and the Figgins came to visit us. They were fun and I miss them. I have a new teacher in church, her name is Cathy Addley. She teaches us good things. Today we learned about keeping the commandments and the Holy Ghost.

     I like the Lion King movie and soon we are going to buy it. Tomorrow I have a day off from school. Grandma Kay and Grandpa Reed were going to come visit today but a storm came. I love them and sometimes we go visit them in Salt Lake City.

    I still like to sleep with my blanket. I have two loose teeth and one big tooth in the back is coming in and makes my cheek hurt.

I love my polar bear he is my favorite stuffed animal. I also love my Ariel sleeping bag. I slept with it last night.  I am a CTR now and I have a new teacher, her name is Kathy Addley. I love her. She taught us about Joseph Smith today. Joseph is a prophet, a prophet teaches us thing about Heavenly Father. I know Joseph Smith is a true Prophet.  I went to see Lion King for Shelby's birthday party. I gave Shelby a  glitter writer for her present. Its like an etch-a-sketch but better. That is all I want to write today.

This past week we spent 4 nights at Grandma Kay and Grandpa Reed's. We swang on the swing in her backyard. Shelby and I swang on our favorite swing a bunch of times. When we got home I threw up again.

      We drove to Park City to see my friend Nicole Flake. Nicole and I hugged each other and went on a treasure hunt behind the library. We dropped Nicole off at her school and said good-by. I like to see Haleigh, her little sister, too and her baby brother Paul, too. In school I'm learning to count and add numbers. Before going to SLC I went to kesler's birthday, he's a boy in my class. I love my mom & dad.

You learned to ride a bike tonight. Amazingly enough it was Savannah, our neighbor just a year a head of you in school who taught you. Dad & I were pleasantly pleased and shocked since we had both tried and tried to help you. You were so proud of yourself. We took Savannah and you out for ice cream. The trick seemed to be trying it on the grass and being coached by your peer.

I love my daddy.  Because he was sweet to me when I was a baby. (he's still sweet!)
I wrecked on my bike this week and daddy had to put three stitches in my knee.
    I love my mommy. She sat by me and held me while I was getting my stitches.
     I love grandma Kay and Reed. I like their dog too. I hit the ball at my baseball game. I like my coach whose name is Kenny. I love Grandma Fran and Bok. They are my friends. I want to be a nurse when I grow so that I can give shots to people.  I think Nate wants to be a doctor so that he can give people stitches. I think I would like to be a doctor too. Shelby should be a nurse and a doctor.
I love all my aunts and uncles. Phil, Lisa, Mike and Christina. They give me presents. I love Paul and Mark too. Next week is my last week of Kindergarten. We get to go swimming on a field trip. I think it will be fun. I get my stitches out before then.

Last weekend we went camping---dad, Shelby, Nate and I went. Mom stayed home with her friends at their annual high school retreat. Friday night we stayed at swinging bridge campground in the Backhorn. On Saturday we drove to Goblin Valley. I loved playing on the Goblin shaped rocks in the valley of the Goblins. After lunch we hiked in Little Wild Horse Canyon, then we drove on a dirt road to Capital reef National Park. At Capital Reef we played in a pool of water where a waterfall sprayed us with a mist. I love my mommy and daddy. I love Shelby and Nate and I love Alex. I have my birthday this month at Cowpuncher. Phil, Lisa, Mike, Chris, Chris' mom and dad, Grandma Kay and Grandpa Reed and mom and dad were all there.  The best part was my Pocahontas Cake. Now I'm excited for Christmas.  My new house is fun, school is fun too. Mrs. Jeff's is my teacher.

The wind is blowing in the country. Snow is falling on the ground. The primary did a singing concert at the Church and I spoke about the Articles of Faith revealed by God to his prophet Joseph Smith. I get to have three recesses at school. When we get our work done. I read words up on the board. I like school a whole bunch. I like my teacher Mrs. Jeffs. I like what she teaches us. Math is fun and I like the kids in my class. I went to a cabin call Helaman Hollow with my Potter cousins for Thanksgiving. I love my cousins expecially Mary Frandsen. I had fun at Mary's cabin in Scofield where we visited her. I had so much fun that I didn't want to leave.
