One of my favorites was Blue Hat, Green Hat. My mom and I like this book so much that we think every new mom should have it, so we always give it as one of our baby shower gifts.]]> 2018-08-30 18:14:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mshendrix1014/j6zgiupbq2m7/wish/276699880 mshendrix1014 https://padlet.com/mshendrix1014/j6zgiupbq2m7/wish/276701717 Ever since I was very young I have been fortunate enough to go on a vacation every summer with my family. Through this , I have been able to experience a lot of different things and have been able to see all different types of places. I really enjoy how my family likes to go to the beach as well as the mountains to see all different aspects of our world.]]> 2018-08-30 18:18:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mshendrix1014/j6zgiupbq2m7/wish/276701717 mshendrix1014 https://padlet.com/mshendrix1014/j6zgiupbq2m7/wish/276701845 One of my favorite family traditions is making sugar cut-out cookies with my mom and sister each year at Christmastime. This is something that my mom did with her mom, and I would like to share the tradition, as well as Grandma Martha's famous sugar cookie recipe, with my own kids someday. ]]> 2018-08-30 18:18:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mshendrix1014/j6zgiupbq2m7/wish/276701845 mshendrix1014 https://padlet.com/mshendrix1014/j6zgiupbq2m7/wish/276702239 One of the first chapter books I read was The Boxcar Children. I enjoyed the story and the characters so much, I read it over and over again. My mom tried to get me to read different ones in the Boxcar Children series, but I liked the first one so much that I wasn't interested in the others. ]]> 2018-08-30 18:19:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mshendrix1014/j6zgiupbq2m7/wish/276702239 mshendrix1014 https://padlet.com/mshendrix1014/j6zgiupbq2m7/wish/276703290 2018-08-30 18:21:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mshendrix1014/j6zgiupbq2m7/wish/276703290 mshendrix1014 https://padlet.com/mshendrix1014/j6zgiupbq2m7/wish/276704993 I joined band when I was in fifth grade and I have never second guessed that decision. Being in high school and college band is how I have been able to find my closest friends. Marching band has given me unique opportunities I would have never had otherwise,  and I have been able to create lifelong memories with my best friends. ]]> 2018-08-30 18:25:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mshendrix1014/j6zgiupbq2m7/wish/276704993 mshendrix1014 https://padlet.com/mshendrix1014/j6zgiupbq2m7/wish/276705328  As a family, we always enjoy going to professional games to cheer on a team and be part of the fan base. I always remember going to games with my family and just my dad. One of my favorite memories of being part of a fan base was when the Kansas City Royal's won the World Series. It was really neat to see how our whole city and community came together to support one team. ]]> 2018-08-30 18:26:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mshendrix1014/j6zgiupbq2m7/wish/276705328 mshendrix1014 https://padlet.com/mshendrix1014/j6zgiupbq2m7/wish/276705399 Over the years I have been able to experience many different aspects of the fine arts. My parents exposed me to things such as live plays, musicals, symphonies, and concerts, which helped me to appreciate music and theatre. My grandfather is a professional photographer and he taught me to appreciate visual arts. Art Fairs were a regular part of my childhood.]]> 2018-08-30 18:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mshendrix1014/j6zgiupbq2m7/wish/276705399 mshendrix1014 https://padlet.com/mshendrix1014/j6zgiupbq2m7/wish/276705447 Growing up, I really liked to read books that were also movies. As a teen, one of my favorite books was Soul Surfer, which is based on a true event. The story is truly inspiring and opens your mind up to the idea that you can really do anything if you love something and have faith. ]]> 2018-08-30 18:26:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mshendrix1014/j6zgiupbq2m7/wish/276705447 mshendrix1014 https://padlet.com/mshendrix1014/j6zgiupbq2m7/wish/277418067 2018-09-04 04:30:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mshendrix1014/j6zgiupbq2m7/wish/277418067
