my cat pippy

I have a cat named Pippy. She  has a pink nose and small white and black paws. She is black and white and very small. When she purrs she makes biscuits with her paws- its when they move their paws up and down on you. She plays with her little toy mouse and runs around the house the likes to play. I love you Pippy that's all I have to say about my cat today on my blog- goodbye

my hamster sputnik

My hamster sputnik is a Winter White Russian hamster. He has a black line down his back and looks like a chipmunk. He is small and lets you hold him. I picked him because he was looking out of the cage. I put my hand in the cage and he was the first one to crawl on my hand, so I picked him. When we got home I put him in his cage with a hamster wheel and a food bowl and a water bottle. I love my sputnik.

Softball season has started!

Softball season has started for Spring 2011! I am on a team called the Tornadoes. This is my fifth season playing softball! My team won the first game we played on Saturday. We played against the Screaming Eagles. It was a good game. 

I like playing on a team because it's fun and you learn to work with other people. Being on a team means you can learn to rely on other people to help you, and you learn to help other people on your team. I like playing softball this season most of all because I am getting better at batting, catching and throwing. My mom said that I have improved so much since last season! When I first started playing I couldn't even catch a ball or hit it. Now I hit almost every pitch! I can catch pop flies and I can catch a fast pitch without a problem! In this season I am mostly playing third base. Last season I played second. I like to play third base better because I get more outs at the base and I can get the other team player out going home. It's very exciting when I get an out or stop a runner from going home! 

My friend got a double play on Saturday. That is when you get two people out in one play. It was very cool to watch! 

I like my coaches, too. They are very nice and I am learning a lot this season. I can't wait to play again on Saturday! 

Travelling in Covered Wagons

I made a video where I talk about a story I read where a family travels with other families in a covered wagon across 2,000 miles. The journey is hard and they can only start out on the journey at a certain time of year. They cannot travel on the Oregon Trail during the winter because of snow and not a lot of food. It is especially hard for the children because many of them have to walk almost the entire way! I cannot imagine having to walk 2,000 miles. It takes about 5 months to complete the trip. That is a long time. I am glad that we have a better and faster way to get around now.

I'm selling Girl Scout Cookies!

I have been too busy to post a blog because my mom and I are out trying to sell cookies so my troop can pay for our camping trip and everything we want to do next year. I am working hard and my mom says I am doing a good job. If you see me in town ask me about cookies and I can sell you some!

Annie and Alex, Smooth Criminals

I love to dance and sing. It's one of my favorite ways to express myself when I am feeling silly. I feel silly a lot. I hope you like this dance to Smooth Criminals. This is my brother Alex in the video with me. He has a blog too! Alex's Excellent Adventure.

I am so excited! I got my new hamster! I have made a few videos over the past few weeks. I would like to share them with you now. Also, there are a few of pictures from the Funky Paintbrush and from the Father-Daughter dance last night. Enjoy!

Have a great weekend!
