This week I had my first track meet, celebrated my birthday and then Hayden's, and lit fireworks.

At the track meet I completed in javelin, shot put, and discus. I came really, really close to a ribbon in javelin (4th place); sucked at shot put; won second place in discus! I hope I win lots more ribbons.

Our birthday cakes were amazing. Mine was a Reese's cake. It had chocolate cake and frosting with a peanut butter filling. It also had Reese's pieces and peanut butter cups to decorate it. I hope my mom makes another one!

We had a lot more fireworks than usual for the 4th of July. They were pretty cool, but the ones I wanted to see were at a big annual party up the block, but they got busted for illegal fireworks and ended early. I hope they run late next year so I don't miss it.

My birthday is on the 4th of July. Me and my family lit  tons of fireworks and I had my own birthday barbeque to celebrate.

Grammo & Pop Pop came up for our birthdays. They came to the barbecue and to John's Incredible and also to light fireworks.

Me and my brother went to GameStop. I wanted Lego City Undercover and my brother wanted Super Mario Smash Brothers Brawl. We traded in some of the games we don't play anymore, so I didn't have to pay anything, and Bayley only had to pay twenty buck for his game.

It's a ladybug...no, it's a grasshopper...no, it's KARL THE SPIDER. There was a giant spider on the wall. Pop Pop named the spider Karl. Dad got a ladder and sucked him up in the shop-vac.

At the track meet I did discus and I waited in line for the hurdles. I jumped over them really fast and I think I won, but it was chaos at the finish line and I didn't get my ribbon.
