Grandmas Birthday!!

Grandma and Grandpa came up for Grandma's birthday and Kylia, Zoie and my soccer games. We went to a restaurant at Gig Harbor. I split french toast with Zoie. It was good and filling :) We walked around the town, and walked through a park that was on the water. We went through some Christmas shops. There were a lot of fun things and pretty things. We had a great day!!! 
   We had lots of soccer games when Grandma and Grandpa came up. Zoie had a game and she did a great job. Kylia and I had two games. We won both games 6-1 and 6-1. I had a great weekend!! Grandma, I hope you had a good weekend too!!

Cake Pops

I made cake pops for Grandma Marty's birthday. It is not too hard because Auntie gave me some supplies to make cake pops. This is what I  got: a cake pop pan, some sprinkles, some Hershey's Cocoa, some chocolate chips, lollipop sticks, and some frosting tips. I also made them  for a cooking class in school.

 This is the recipe for fudgy cake pops.
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup butter

3/4 cup sugar

3 Tbsp cocoa

2 eggs

3/4 cup flour

1/4 tsp salt

24 lollipop sticks

white chocolate to melt

and assorted sprinkles 

Directions- Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
Grease pan set aside. In medium saucepan over low heat melt chocolate chips and butter together until smooth. Remove from heat and pour into medium bowl. Add sugar and cocoa, mix until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add flour and salt, stir until blended. Spoon batter into bottom half of the pan without holes filling each well so that they mound over the  top of the pan. Place top half of pan on top and secure with keys. Bake for 20-25 minutes,until toothpick inserted comes out almost clean. Cool 5 minutes in pan, remove cake pops from pan to cool completely. melt white chocolate. Dip lollipop stick in white chocolate then stick the stick in the cake pop, then let it harden before you dip the whole cake pop in the white chocolate. After it hardens dip the hole cake pop in the white chocolate, spinning to let excess chocolate drip off. Decorate with sprinkles as desired. 
Place on plate with wax paper. Makes about 24 cake pops.

Mine turned out great!! I hope yours turn out great too!!

Treasure Hunt

For my birthday I had a treasure hunt party with my friends.       
-Clue 1-

The crown has gone missing.

The princess dismayed

Thank you detectives,

For coming this day.

To begin we must eat,

To keep up our strength.

So sit yourselves down

At the table of length.

So we did just that and we ate Mac-&-Cheese and Hot Dogs yum yum!!!

 -Clue 2-

This first clue is simple.

No need to go far.

Mixed in the silver,

Is your clue in this jar.

So we looked in the house and we looked and we looked and then we saw the next clue in the money container.

   -Clue 3-

Out the door you must go,

 Holding hands just so, so.

Back and forth, to and fro,

Round and round the tire goes.

Climb up the mountain,

And there you will find,

The next awesome clue

If you are not blind.

So we walked to the blue park where the tire swing swings and up on the climbing rocks lay the next clue.

 -Clue 4-

Fall is coming so very fast,

The leaves are changing, what a blast!

Through our window you will see,

The next clue flying free.

We ran all the way back to the house and looked in our tree. There it is, but it is to high we have to hold up Haley our friend. She got it!

       -Clue 5-

She teaches, she sews,

Her love for you grows.

So say these words dear,

Her hug, do not fear.

“Wiggle, wiggle, jiggle, jiggle,

Walk-a-walk-a, bing, bang, bong.”

We walked up to Mommy and hugged her so much and said "Wiggle, wiggle,jiggle, jiggle, Walk-a-walk-a,bing ,bang, bong" and she gave us the clue.

      -Clue 6-

Hop on in, take a ride,

To the path, right beside.

There’s a fence you must cross,

Find the tree, with the moss.

 We got in the car and drove to the fence and went to a tree and got the next clue.

       -Clue 7-

Head your way to the shore,

There will not be a door,

But a bench you will see.

Sit right down by the tree.

Look high and look low,

But don’t be too slow.

So we started to run to the beach and the first bench we saw we sat right down and looked all around for the clue. Then Zoie looked behind the bench, she found it. Hooray!!

              -Clue 8-

You are doing great! Keep it up!

Straight ahead the path cracks up.

To the right you will see,

a sign, BEWARE, there danger be.

We knew what that meant so we ran some more to the gravel road and behind the sign there lay the next clue.

           -Clue 9-

Up ahead the road curves right,

But stop right there, your clue’s in sight.

At a spot meant just for four,

Sit right down, you’ll spot the shore.

We are getting closer and the pirates might be looking for it so we started to tiptoe. We tiptoed to the picnic table there was Daddy!! He said to look for a map and we did and we found it. This is what the map said.....

Beware you must choose a girl who is as old as the number of ones toes. To retrieve the chest!  The treasure is close! It's been sunk at sea. But if the tide is right a blue whale will help make it float. But you will need tools to get it. Start with combining all your air to  make a raft.  Follow the trail of tools to your treasure chest.  

We found the raft and blew it up. Then we followed the tools. These are what the tools were. A swimsuit, a snorkel mask, a towel, and a life jacket. You know what that means I have to get on my raft and swim to get to the chest. And that is exactly what I did!

I did it I got the  chest we opened it and found jewels necklaces and candy. Hooray!!!!!!!!

  

We went back home and had our treasure chest cake.  And played a game of pin the crown on the princess. We decorated our own crowns. When 

we were done playing the game we put the crowns on us.

I had a blast!!!!!!!!!!!
