kissing the fish

GiGi had a major fishing day! They just kept biting! Once again she got so excited that she kissed the fish!~ She wasn't as grossed out this time and she was naming all of them as she caught them. I wonder why she named the large mouth Mommy???

Wow!! What an incredible day! Hundreds of people came to the opening and then 2 days later channel 7 was there!It is amazing! They need murals on the walls, a gaming station and a flat screen for the teens and a few other items but the learning has already started!...

The next Idol or Top model!!

The Karaoke Queen is bustin a move! Apparently she has been watching too much Hannah Montana. Not only does she know the words to all of the songs but she has mastered her moves. As soon as the camera comes out she strikes a pose that changes with every snap...
