i am trapped in ...

I am trapped in the library!!! Sydney and I are writing a book for the Scholastic book compition. It's called I am Trapped in the Library. We are finished  with our 1st copy now we are dividing  up the pages. There have to be 21-30 pages in the book. We have til March,15,2013. that's a while away. But still wish me luck!

what do the books do when the librarian leaves the library?

My mom had an idea about a book that shows what the books do when the librarian leaves the li brary. She 's thinking that the books about hunting chase the books about animals. I think it is very funny . I hope we can make the book, maybe the books a bout tornados make a tornado,I don't know how it is all gonna turn out, but it sounds exiting. I can't wait to read it!!!!!

Ride that Bike!!!!

Yesterday my dad took off Ryan's training wheels. Today without a bit of practice Ryan could ride his bike nice  , fast, and steady . Wow. I bet  you have your surprise face on right now. I mean I'm impressed, are you impressed cause that is just ,WOW! he is an awesome guy WOW! 

He ,he is very impressive.  I'm  so exited that Ryan can ride his bike properly . As you can see there are no training wheels on his bike. YEA! GO RYAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fall, does not feel like it

I heard that was soposed to be a cold front that would come through Katy.  Yesterday it  felt like there was a good cold front, but here's something weird today on the wheather channel said the high was 68 degrees and boy was it hot . I went out and it was so hot that I had to take off my jacket and roll up my sleeves. I even saw a wasp. The whether man was wrong. It might be in the 50's, but it feels like its in the 90's. WHOA!

Another three day weekend!

WOW! Another three day weekend! And I am glad about it. This weekend I get to go to my friend Sydney's house for a sleepover.  I get to stay all day Monday because my mom has to work and go to  meetings.  I am so exited to go to Sydney's house again!!!  She has a pool and a hotub in her back yard, and it's built  into the ground , way differnt than Mt.Vernon.  Cloumbus day is the reason we have a three day weekend. WHOOO! HOOO!

Pick A Pumpkin

Today I went to a pumpkin patch called Dewberry Farm. It was so fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went on rides and played games. I even got to go on a zipline!  The ride to the pumpkin patch  was a wooden wagon with a canvas over the top.   I searched and looked and then I saw it- my pumpkin!

I also got my face painted.                                   Perfect just for me!!!!!

Making tracks!

As you all know that I am going to a school  called Wilson ele. and that we are  the wolves.  I'm loving it I have notice that Katy is a lot different than Mt.Vernon. Much,much different.  I have to do testing for G.T or in Katy they call it Challenge. And also we have morning announcements. The librarian told me we have OVER 11,000 books in the library.  The  playground is really cool there's a a giant rope spider web and me and my friends made a friendship club. bye

It's fall already ?

WOWIE ! WOW!WOW! Its already fall. And I cant beleive my eyes! I mean my skin, man it is fall and it is smokin hot outside. I beleive back in the 90's. All of a sudden it gets down low then the tempeture just pops back up!



  +

One of the reasons I love fall is because it is just so beautiful. When the leaves start to fall it's like the ground has changed color and it's kinda true because you know the leaves change color. And that's  what I like about fall . good bye for now

baby panda!!!

I saw a new baby panda on a website  that has a panda cam. I will send a link to it. It showed a baby panda either sleeping or playing with its paws.  And if you look real close you'll see that it is kinda wiggling around , at least when I saw it. :). now the baby panda might not always be on the screen. Now if you look to the right of your screen you will see a link you can go to see the pandas live cam.















P.S I simply adore pandas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  see you later!

Christmas is on its way!

WOW!!! Its already September. The year has been like a horse whip. Ryan and I have written our Christmas list and can't wait! Of course Christmas is NOT all about getting gifts its ALL about giving gifts just as God gave us his son. I think they call it Christmas because it has the word Christ in it.

                                                                               .                           
I miss yall so much and wish I could come over for Christmas.   See ya.

" Hey girls I got a cute new top, jeans and some new super cute boots and all got them from justice." " Justice has the cutest clothes at super low prices." " Truly justice is the shop all girls 6-15 should shop." "This is Grace with your shopping report card have a great day!"

By By Summer

So so sad, summer vacation is  over. Good thing we have the weekend! I'm sad and glad summer is over the good  thing is that we get to go to school. Play and  learn with friends, we also get to make new friends!!! The bad thing is lots of homework and if your going into 3rd grade or up you'll be taking a very difficult test that's really a bad thing. When I get home sometimes I like to sit down relax a think "can I do better? Did I learn something new?". So when  you get home sit and think and I know it will be hard to think but ignore the noises and think. Get away from school work ,oh, you know "the kids".  And remember a hard day  can become a easy great day!!!

Make a splash !!!!

 You know here in Katy there are alot of water because Katy is around the gulf coast. But since Katy is a little tiny bit far from the beach so they built alot of pools around so people don't need to drive as far. I have been to about 3 different pools. The first one I went to is the central water park. it has 3 slides that lead up to 5 feet. That's tall!! I went down one of them, well my parents "thought" it was 3 foot 6 that i can stand up in, but they were wrong it turned out to be 4  feet which I am 4 feet tall to the tipy top of my head so could not stand up in it. Number 2 is a little beach or pool well it had sand like a beach and it had a concrete bottom and sides that were decorated like a pool too. It was really cool.  you can  bring buckets and stuff like that, and you can bring goggles  like you were at a pool.
It was like I was at the beach and at the pool at the same time. On to our last the most fun of them all it had big slides I went down the red one.You I know how to swim when I slid into the water I tried  to swim to the side the water was so strong it pushed me to the middle of the two slides so a life guard had to com get me.  Thanks for reading!!!

school strikes back !

I have been so exited for the next school year!!   I have also been kinda nervous because,  you know, I'm going to a brand new school, but everyone gets nervous sometimes.  I mean many many MANY  kids get nervous when they move and go to a new school. I know that their parents say to them, "you will make new friends and forget all about your other friends." "Then I would say, " but mommy I still remember Robin."  Robin was a Friend of mine back in Beckvill. You  know I moved from Beckvill to Mt.Vernon. Actually I have moved about 5 times sense birth counting the move to Katy.



I cant wait!!!        SCHOOL STRIKES BACK!!!!!

day +bed =daybed

It's a couch, it's a bed.. its' a daybed!!! Today my dad put together a daybed for me. You know, one of those beds that you sleep on that's like a regular bed, but when you wake up and make the bed, it's  kinda like a couch. It's like..... so cool!! I mean SOOOOOOOO cool! Tonight, after Eli went to bed, (you know Eli- I've talked about him before), we  went to get bedding for my bed.

IT'S SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!

I love it! Tune in next time for more Graces Gab!!!!!

Happy birthday AMEIRCA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This fourth of July I went to my Nana and Pops house. It was really fun. One of the reasons I don't like Fourth of July is the fire works are so loud , but sometimes the fire work shot up in the air and shot back and barely made a sound. America turned 236 years old that's really I mean really OLD!!!!!
 America is celebrated because of Christopher Columbus. The one who discovered this wonderful


HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!!!

When I read it takes me to a new world. It feels like I'm in the book. Like on a rainy day and the power went out I would sit and read well, or play anyways I feel like I'm In the book .

It's so cool!!!

I want to be in a triathalon

I want to be in a triathalon. A triathalon is three sports. Swimming,biking and running in that order. I'm not much of a runner. I can't run that long a distance without walking a little. I still need to learn how to swim ... well, in deep water. The  deepest water I can swim in is 3ft 9in. I need to train really hard to make my goal. To train on biking I need to pump my tires but my dad needs to get a new air pump. I know that if i train hard enough I can make my goal. I can do anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just hanging out in the summer

This summer I've been with my family, hanging with friends or relaxing alone in my room. But I think the whole idea of summer is for kids to have fun get away from all that homework and chill.Summer is for kids to hang with friends and chill with the family. Summer is freedom for kids. So let kids enjoy the summer, and I hope you do too!

I went to the beach yesterday. It was tons of fun ! I  had a boogie board . I pulled it far out and got on it. We saw a good wave so my dad pushed me like 2 seconds before it got to us and  I went all the way from my dad to my mom. My dad was almost half way from shore and my mom was on shore. It was far!!! I made a sandcastle, too. Ryan was running and steped on it on purpus. I had SO much fun at the beach and can't wait to go again!!!!!!

His room is filled with racecars. He has like 1000 toy racecars. Eli is a little easyer to take care of. Sometimes when mom leaves I halfed to take care of him . He can also be a handful.  Even though thier quite a handful I love them very much!!!
