Shots of a Sheer Artist (I wish I was one)

Just today, I got my very own camera lens. It's just like my mom's and has 18 to 135 mm zoom! I got all sorts of cool shots just tonight! I got some of my dad playing guitar and some of a gecko on our window and some of the sky. Here's some of the photos:

CD #3 Photo Shoot

I don't know what kind of person invented the CD. But, it was a great idea. Every time I make one, my mom does a photo shoot with me. Now sometimes, when I'm in the mood, I like photo shoots. But I wasn't in the mood this time especially because I had to put my hair down. We did all sorts of pictures but my favorites were on the trampoline. That was when my mood started to improve. Mom shot them at the end. I doubt I'm gonna use them for the CD, but they're pretty cool.

On a trampoline you can capture high jumps and hilarious stunts. I can creep out my dad by becoming "Pretzel Girl" and twisting into crazy shapes. I have to admit I was a bit more flexible with splits when I was younger. But now I can't go all the way down. Just almost. However, I can become "Pretzel Girl!"

Ta Da!

I see the world upside down!

Water Park Hotel

We went to a hotel with our friends and went on water slides and a water playground. We figured out that when you pull the ropes, water falls on your head. We had a blast going on the slides and eating hamburgers and mini doughnuts. (I love sugar!)

We also figured out that our friend Barbara (an old musician friend of my dad's) her husband, and her seven-year old daughter, know how to pick hotels!

Barbara's girl and Shawn had very similar personalities. They were also born on the same day, April 25. They fought sometimes but mostly just wore each other out and had a lot of fun.

OOOPS!

Tag! You're it!

Swing MEEE!

WEEEEEE!

Beach Night

One night on a Friday, my family and I went down to the beach after dinner. We had such a great time and the kids had races, we played with an old log, and took lots of pictures!

Music Video :)

I did my first music video recently. We met a man named Kahu who runs Gamekids, a professional kids performance group, and he said he would love to do a video. So I called a friend and Annabel and together we made a not-quite finished video! We still need to work on it but it was a lot of fun. First we put up a green screen behind the piano. This is used so we can change the background. Then I sat down at the piano and played on camera. I was very nervous because I'd never been behind a camera before. Plus I had to wear a pink dress (girl city! Yech!) and my hair down. I hate my hair down - it gets fluffy and itchy.

Then we headed downstairs to do a sleepover scene with my friend and Annabel. We had a lot of fun and we got to play with stuffed animals.

And after that we went to a grassy area by my house and we did some running around and spinning and piggyback rides. I never thought making a music video could be so much fun!

"Sleepover" Time!

Spin around and see how long you can stay up without falling down!

"I'm nervous! Please can I wear a ponytail, jean shorts and a t-shirt?"
