School starts!!! Kindergarten!!!
OK... Seriously! She is constantly messing with me!!! I tell her to get dressed for her first day of school and she comes down in her t-ball uniform! It was complete with her crocs (on the wrong feet) and her purse! Obviously she changed to pose with Daddy! We have...

The Chicago Playhouse opens!!
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!...

I was just going to post my Chicago pictures and GiGi came up to me so sweet and said "Mommy I tired" and gently picked up my hand and kissed as she told me she loved me!! SO the pictures will have to wait!! Then as I started typing this...

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...

Water logged!
Always a part of the action! She must have climbed this ladder a hundred times and just kept jumping in the lake! She had arm floaties on (which she taught herself how to blow up by biting down and blowing them up while they were still on her arm!) so...

Seriously!!!
GiGi has turned into a real fisherlady!!!OK...I am a total loser! My laptop broke, we had our 5k with over 2,000 people, my Dad got sick, we went on vacation, opened a new Playhouse in Chicago, swam, tubed, 4 wheeled, went wave runnin, fished, boated, worked on the Playhouse projects,...

Too funny!
Bella was making popsicles in a mini muffin tray and she was filling it too high and it was going all over. So GiGi says "Bella, you gonna spill it." Then she got really excited and said "OHHH Look!... Father (pronounced Fahder), son, Holy spill it!!!" She was so proud...

T-ball moves to coaches pitch!
First and foremost... Look! I finally got the pink helmet to match her mitt and bat!! This month we were able to start having the coaches pitch to our t-ballers if we wanted to. Well, we never did this with our team (I am one of the coaches) but the...

marshmallows
What is a memorial weekend without a bonfire??? Here she is roasting a marshmallow for her smores (and eating the extras) I think she enjoyed it a little too much. In the bathtub tonight she asked for a bon fire with marshmallow again (and then showed me how she...

boating and tubing
"Look Mom, no hands"!!! What a weekend!! I couldn't believe that GiGi was on the first tube ride of the year! She couldn't get to the back of the boat fast enough to get on that tube! It was so cool! We wiped out last year so I wasn't sure...

New pink bike
Yeah, yeah, yeah, she should have shoes on but..... My Mom doesn't go on-line so it's all good! Because GiGi loves our tag along bike (with me) so much she hasn't been riding hers as much as she should. In fact, I caught her a few times looking down watching her...

St. Annes last day of school performance!
Wow!! They started with the Pledge of Allegiance and went on to sing at least 12 songs!! Talk about cool! She was amazing! This was the same class that had some parents questioning if GiGi "belonged" in their school. So it was great to see her do so much better than some...
