Summer Rocks

I loved going to camp, all of the doctors and counselors rocked! I got to go to an Oakland A's game, play pool, swim, dance on stage at a concert, go to a carnival and wear cologne. One of my favorite doctors was Dr. Tom, he made me a lanyard and was so nice to me. I want to go next year.

I have been really busy this summer, I have already read over 1000 pages! Tomorrow we get to go to the library and get some more books.

I got to go to a parade and get lots of candy. My aunt Caroline was in the parade for her work and she saw me and ran back and gave me a giant handful of candy, it was my favorite part of the parade.

I think this is my best summer ever, my sister plays a lot with me if my friends can't or if it is too hot for me to go outside. Today I painted my moms fingernails and tomorrow I get to go swimming at Grandma Faye's.

HI from camp!

Zack wanted to give everyone a hi from camp. I think he was trying to get rid of me. He is having the time of his life. More pictures and stories to come when he gets home on saturday.

swimming at the rec center

My little sister gets to take swimming lessons at the rec center. I do not, at first I was really sad, but my mom said that it was only fair because my sister watched me play soccer and t-ball. But now I am happy to go because I always see really funny things. I like to look at the really old people, they make me laugh. On the first day I saw someone that was so old I didn't know if it was a man or a woman so I just thought it was a new species called a manwom. The next day a very old man wore a speedo that was old and see through. Now I am excited to go. And my mom doesn't think I am very nice, and she would not take pictures.

I cant sleep

I am having a hard time sleeping because tomorrow is my last day of kindergarten. I am so happy about it. Kindergarten was fun but next year I get to go to first grade and go to 3 recesses a day and even eat lunch at school!!

A couple fo weeks ago I got to go on a family trip in our camper to Wyoming. It was so fun because lots of my cousins got to go too.

The force is strong in this one....

I got to go to Disneyland with my family and my Grandma and some of my Aunts and Uncles and cousins. It was awesome. Pretty much my favorite thing at Disneyland was the Jedi Training Academy. I got to dress up like a Jedi and train with a Jedi Master.



Then Darth Vader and Darth Maul came out, I have to admit it was a little scary. Darth Vader is big in real life.





I got to go battle Darth Vader with a light saber, I hit left and right and I even had to duck.









After I beat Darth Vader I went to walk of like the other kids but Darth Vader said the to 2 storm troopers that the force is strong in this one and they started to come after me so I had to use my hand to force them both back. One of them almost fell backwards.







And after I forced them I was able to walk off of the stage. I really don't want to meet Darth Vader again.


Zack typed this days ago, but I have not had a chance to add the pictures until tonight. It is not fun to be the secretary for a six year old, but I think he will be happy when he wakes up and sees that I have finally done it for him. Zack asked me later that day how Darth Vader knew the force was strong in him. I told him what I always tell him, that he is a strong boy, the strongest I know. I told him that he has courage, and shows me his courage every day and that others see it too. With the upcoming adoption of our foster daughter Zack has had alot of questions about his adoption. I am so glad that we have always been able to talk openly about the miracles that brought Zack to our family. It is an honor and a priviledge to be his Mom. He has taught me so much, and I have become a better, stronger person with his help. The other day someone mentioned something along the lines that they were glad I would get to have a healthy child. I didn't know that Zack had heard it or if he did if he would put 2 and 2 together, well he did. I too am glad that I get to have a healthy child, but in my opinion I now have 2 strong, healthy children. My children are fighters, they have both over come so much and both still have uphill battles to fight, but I in NO WAY see them as anything less than incredible people. Zack knows that he is loved and accepted for all that he is, I am a little sad that some look at him and discount what he is, I don't feel like I have less of a child because Zack has eb, or that I am less of a parent. The truth is that he is strong, strong enough move past ugly comments, and ugly stares and ugly people, and strong enough to not give it a second thought.(now if I could only learn that)

My new eb friend

This is my new little friend Jonah. He has eb too. His mom and dad wrote a nice note to me and I want them to know that I keep saying prayers for Jonah. Sometimes I don't like eb, but I still have lots of friends and lots of fun. I think he will be ok because he has a mom and a dad like I do.

Kite flying

I love kite flying but sunday I accidentaly let go of the kite and it flew clear over houses and streets and ended up across the street from my Grandpa Troops. It got all tangled up in power lines so he had to call a man from the power company to come get it down. It was stuck in the wires for a long time and it just flew in the wind the whole time all by itself. It was pretty cool.
