Rebekah's 7th Birthday

Rebekah:

I AM SEVEN!!!!  I just needed to shout that out because it seems like everyone at school already turned 7 and I was just waiting my turn.  It finally happened and it was fantastic.  We celebrated for almost a week!

Fist up was my actual birthday, which was on just a regular Thursday.  I got to open up my gifts before school and then Mommy and Daddy came to have lunch with me.  They brought me Chick Fil A!




For dinner that night, I picked a trip to It'z and we had so much fun.  You know that little grabby claw game where you try to pick up a toy?  My parents hardly ever let me play that game because they insist "you never win", but guess what??  I totally won this super cool monkey.  You know what's crazy?  So did Hannah.  Both of us on our very first try!







The next part of my birthday was a real birthday party!  It was at this music place where all my friends from school came and we tried to make a little rock band.  It was sooooo fun.







Here is our video compilation of our rock music.  We started with individual lessons, then some practice, and finally we put it together with music!


Here I am with my yummy cupcake!

Birthday song!



Look at the giant mob around me when I was opening presents.  It was so crazy!


Then I had yet another birthday party at our house with our family.  And more cupcakes and presents!







Before I ate my cupcake, they sang me my favorite song....the happy birthday song!


As you can see, this was the biggest, grandest, most amazingest birthday ever.  I am so thankful for my friends, my family, and all the fun we had together.  It's great to be 7.

Spring Break 2018

Rebekah:

As spring break was approaching, I kept asking Mommy if we were going to SeaWorld (again).  She kept saying no, but I was still holding out hope.  Well we didn't go, but we did 8 million other things instead and had so much fun!  Yes, almost everything was free, but the best part was spending time together as a family.

Pinkalicious:

I had no idea there was a musical for Pinkalicious but it was so fun!  I hope we can see something else again soon.



The Kimbell Art Museum:

They had some kid-friendly activities and we signed up for the sketching class.  I have to be honest with you.  It was so hard.  The leader picked some crazy statue and told us we had 30 seconds to draw it.  Hannah was most frustrated and I felt bad for her, but we tried our best.



The Children's Aquarium at Fair Park:

This aquarium was so fun!  They had a sting ray feeding area and we had the chance to feed them with our hands.  We got pretty wet but it was worth it.  Also we saw Hannah's favorite aquarium creature - jellyfish.  She is obsessed!








Watch me feed a sting ray!

Hannah's sting rays kept splashing away trying to get food.  They were excited.


Reunion Tower and the Dallas Zoo:

We have been asking for years to go to the top of the ball, and we finally got to go!  Mom scheduled our visit on a special day when the Dallas Zoo was going to be sharing some of its animals.  It was awesome.  I couldn't believe how windy it was outside on the deck, but it was neat finally getting to see what it was like up there.  The animals rocked.  Some of them smelled!









I was selected from the big audience to pet the anteater!

Urban Air:

We had a great time jumping away at Urban Air, but then I came up with a fun game.  It involved running through the squares and sliding down the top. Hannah loved it too!

Here I go:

Texas Revolution Indoor Football:

I can't say that I was waiting with great anticipation for this arena-league football game, but it was actually neat to see.  The field is small.  And orange/red colored.  It looked so different.  They had a super cool cannon mascot which was definitely my favorite part.






On our special spring break, we got to spend a night in a hotel!  I can't decide if the best part was the indoor pool or the Cane Rosso across the street.  So delicious!  We got to watch them make our pizza.



Sci Tech Discovery Museum:

Check out this mega-sized bubble I made.  I am a bubble making expert.



Videogame Museum:

Mom and Dad have been holding back from us.  We had no idea there was a thing called pac-man until our trip here.  We didn't stay long, but we embraced it quickly.  I wish I could tell you how to play but I struggled with getting away from those ghosts.  Have you ever used a joy stick?  So hard!  And why are those ghosts so fast?  Mommy spent a lot of time helping and teaching.


Daddy found one of his favorites.

Texas Legends Basketball:

We had fun cheering on our team, but I think I had the most fun of all.  I learned my voice and had a blast cheering myself silly.  The hot dog was a plus, too.

Our spring break was amazing.  I love all the fun things we were able to do together as a family.  We have such a wonderful life!
