I got a dog!!!

Yesterday My mom and dad said they were going to run errands and I was playing the computer when they got home. My dad told me to go in the backyard and I did. I was so surprised. I was walking toward a pure golden retreiver! I excitedly said " are you serious". Now we have a wonderful golden retreiver. His name is dakota and weighs 36 pounds.

He's 4 and a 1/2 months old. He's really cute too. I love him a lot.

We love Mom!

This post is dedicated to the mom of the house. She takes care of us in so many ways! She makes sure we have clean clothes to wear, she makes sure we have good food to eat (Even asparagus), and she is always available to give us a hug whenever we need one. Here are some of the other reasons why we love mom so much:

Calvin
Mom helps me get out of bed on time
I love mom because she loves me
Mom knows when we've watched too much TV
Mom helps me make wise decisions about making purchases
Mom takes care of me when I'm sick by bringing stuff home that I need

Kendra
Mom helps me with my homework
Mom helps me vaccum my room when it's dirty
Mom helps me call people to come over and play

Paige
My mom is the nicest mom I have ever known.
Mom gives me hugs and kisses.
Mom always tucks me into bed
Mom helps me forget about things when I am scared

Dave (The dad)
Taking care of the details that no one else thinks about
Having a positive attitude even when she is tired


Thanks for taking care of us, but mostly thanks for loving us all more than we ever deserve!

Flat Stanley tours the world

This year in school I made a Flat Stanley. Flat Stanley is a character from a book. Everyone in my class made a Flat Stanely of their own. We all sent our Flat Stanley's around the world. Here's where my Flat Stanley went:

He visited South Carolina with my mom and dad in February.
He visited Seoul Korea and my cousins Mattie, Michal and Mercy in March.
He visited Chicago and my cousins James and John in March.
He visited Primgahr Iowa and my Grandpa and Grandma in April.
Flat's last stop was in Lincoln Nebraska at my Aunt Jill's in April before he came back home to me, here in Denver Colorado.

I want to thank everyone who gave Flat Stanley a great time on all his visits! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Love Paige

School Fun Run

Today I went to a funrun at my school . A fun run is where you go to your school and you run around the playground about five times. I ran pretty fast. It was about a mile total. My sister and I went to the fun run. There were a lot of stands. On the stands there was stuff that you could have like a coloring book or a pencil. I had five people in my class who came. I had a lot of fun and I got to go in a fire truck. Everybody got a medal for participating in the fun run.
