Dog Race Time

This weekend we went to Old Cantwell for Spring Rhondy and played lots of games.
But the most fun was on Sunday; it was a dogsled race! I got 5th place! My brother got 2nd. For our prizes we were given shirts that say "Cantwell Spring Rhondy".

My dogs' names were Muckluck and Timmy. They went really fast! If I ever have dogs when I grow up their names will be Timmy and Muckluck. (Mucklucks are a type of soft boot traditionally made out of reindeer or sealskin.)

I stood on two skiis attached to the dogsled. We followed a snowmachine to keep the dogs going. I finished the race in one minute and 40 seconds. It was really fun! For most of the time while I was there, I rode in the back of a sled attached to the snowmachine.

Test for Martial Arts

This week, we went to the school because Connor and I were having a martial arts test. Our teachers are Mr. Holum and Mr. Rucker. We have 9 students in our class now, including me and Connor. I am working the most on my form, and my favorite move is the spinning back-kick. We get a belt when we complete a rank. It was fun, and I got a rank higher! My new belt is yellow. I love you all.

Spelling this Week

This week I started something new in school called "Spelling". The list of spelling words Mom gave me is:

And I know all of them! The things I did to help me study for them were putting them in alphabetical order, a crossword puzzle, an oral quiz, and writing sentences. Then there was my test. And it was fun. I got a 100%! I miss you all.

Dancing in the Show

Yesterday, we went to a variety show and I danced in it! It was on February 29th, and it was in Healy at the school. A music teacher named Mrs. Mudge was in charge of it. There were 25 acts that different groups of students performed, including me!

I chose to dance to "Give Thanks" to honor God and because it is a very graceful song. I did a ballet dance and chose my own moves.

Lots of people that I knew came to watch me. That made me feel good. It was very fun, and I didn't feel nervous.
