Orientation for 6th Grade

It's time to go BACK to school. This school year begins on Monday, August 18, 2008. I will be in the sixth grade at Meigs Middle School.

Here I am, in my desk, in my advisory class. This is going to be hard work. Hopefully it will be fun!

Go Wildcats!

At orientation tonight and I was able to meet almost all my teachers. My chorus teacher wasn't able to be there. I have six classes: Pre-Algebra, Language Arts, Social Studies, Chorus, P. E., and Science. I have some friends in all my classes. My locker is on the bottom. I am disappointed about that, but life goes on.

Kaitlyn, Carolyn, and Macie together again, and this time we really are Wildcats!

When I Was A Little Girl

One time, back when I was a little girl, my mother took me to Sandestin to try out for a model shoot. I actually got picked to model for American Girl dolls. Then in the summer of 2004, they used one of my pictures in the catalogue. It was very exciting. This was an experience I will never forget. Papa and Didi even got me the twins and their stroller for Christmas that year and I still have them.

Let's Go To Some Yard Sales!

This morning Bob and I went to some yard sales. When we were over by Mama Rosa's we saw some police cars and a bunch of people. We stopped to see what was up, and there were three bear cubs up a tree. I took this picture with my cell phone. It was way cool!

Then we went to some yard sales. Bob got this cool Elvis mask and I got the Mardi Gras mask. We also got a bunch of Mardi Gras beads. We came back home and decided to go find some geo-cash. We found two and left our card. Then it was off to softball practice for me and a nap for Bob.

Had a Blast in New York City

Just got home from a vacation in New York City, New York. Papa, Didi, and Colton were there too. I could see Macy's from the Empire State Building. We won so many tickets at Dave and Buster's.

We got to ride in a limo two times.
We hung out at Rockerfeller Center, F A O Schwarz, and Central Park.

I had a blast. Don't you love my boas?

Hangin' with my High Intensity buds!

These are my friends from 10u High Intensity softball.

The one with the pink shirt is Tori, and the other one is Tatum.

These are group shots of some of the team. We even had one of the 12U girls hanging with us. We were at a tournament in Daphne Alabama. We sure do have a lot of fun together when we go to tournaments.... (even if we never win.....) I guess friendship and fun are more important than winning sometimes....... ALTHOUGH, I really would like to win sooner or later!

So ..... we are ready for our close up!

Ok, so Lindsay and I are a little wacky!

Catch Her Attitude

The Shalimar All Stars went to a tournament in Niceville. We came in third place, nothing to get all worked up about. Hitting the ball is what it is all about. You can't score if you can't get on base. I'm a pretty good hitter, thanks to some natural talent and a lot of practice and some good coaching. Catching is fun, but it is also hard, did you hear me, hard work! IS THERE MORE TO LIFE THAN SOFTBALL?

Me and Lindsey being crazy and doing our beastly handshake and sliding on my hardwood floor in my hallway. It was totally hi-larious.

ON THE WAY TEAM USA!

Softball camp with TEAM USA was amazing! Jennie Finch is so awesome!

We all got to take a picture with her and the gold medal she won at the Olympics.
I worked with the catcher and I learned a bunch.
Jennie did demonstrations and worked with pitchers.

All of the TEAM USA girls that were there signed a softball for me. Maybe one day I will be signing softballs for kids at a softball camp.

This is Natasha Whatley.

This is Crystal Bustos. "She hits"

Summer fun

We decided to celebrate summer break by spending the day at the pool. Check out how many bottles of sunscreen Mom had out on the table. It was so hot out, we spent the whole time in the water.

Last day of School skating party

The fifth graders got to go to the skating rink on the last day of school. We had a lot of fun!



We played limbo on skates....
guess how that usually turns out.........

5th grade graduation day!

5th grade graduation day finally arrived, and it was a fun day. Kaytlyn and Carolyn spent the night with me, so that we could get all dressed up and mom could do our hair. Grandma came and watched our ceremony, and after a few elementary school missing tears, we went out to lunch. My Friend Ashley is in the second picture, she had a big swimming party at her house after school that day, and we had a great time.

FSU softball camp

I went to FSU softball camp this summer and it was awesome. These are two of my coaches, Brittany, and Ashley. They both play for the lady Seminoles.

Coach Ashley and I made up a special handshake.

I got some pretty good

hits during our scrimmages. I was just faking a bunt in the next picture.

We played three scrimage games, and my team won all three. Jessica Gilmore was my coach. She went to the Jr. Olympics in China, she is awesome!

We spent some time in the pool during camp. We ha a pool right outside the front entry of the dorm building.

This is Hayley and I in our dorm room. It was cool to be a college kid!

We had our dorm room all decorated with FSU. Everyday I wore FSU outfits, and I even had FSU slippers.

Macie is my name and softball is my game. I'm the best catcher there has ever been. I also play 1st base. I play for a travel team called High Intensity. We're getting there, but I'm not so shabby. I take lessons a lot, but they are really fun. Ellen McNair and Jessica Gilmore give me lessons, and they're both sooooo awesome. Did I mention they are awesome? I've come so far thanks to them. So here's a big shout to them. I am trying to get better, so I guess we'll see what happens.
