Chuck E. Cheese, please!

Adriana wanted to celebrate her 10 years of life,
at Chuck E. Cheese.

From left to right:
Alexis, Sarah, Ryan, Adriana, Josh, and Emily.

Adriana received a lot of
card making and craft supplies.

Even though she is 10 years old,
she enjoyed all sorts of rides.

Alexis prefers to ride
on the hood of the car,
while nobody is driving and
Stuart Little is in the passenger seat?

Alexis and Andrew are enjoying a
"roller coaster" ride together,
while Josh watches the screen too.

Ryan, Josh, Alexis, and Emily stopped for a moment
so I could take their picture.

After Chuck E. Cheese,
Adriana wanted to eat at
Applebees.

Last Soccer Game

Adriana's last soccer game was on her 10th birthday.

She played an awesome Goalie for the 1st half.

Nobody scored on her,
she was diving and jumping
to block the kicks.

Adriana's favorite position to play is: Defense.
She is the girl in the blue shirt, white shorts.
Her friend Sarah is the Goalie for the 2nd half.
Nobody scored on her either.

Kayla and Alexis always have fun
at the park together while their
sisters are playing soccer.

Play Date at North Park

Adriana and Alexis spent a
full day with the 3 Olson sisters.

From left to right:
Adriana, Laura, Sarah, Kayla, and Alexis

Kayla, Sarah, Laura, Adriana and Alexis
LOVED the monkey bars.

Kayla and Alexis had fun running around.

Laura, Sarah, Kayla, and Adriana
had fun squeezing on this tire swing.

Happy Birthday Andrew!

The girls were invited to
Andrew's 5th birthday party.

It was based around the Olympics.

The girls got Andrew

every bag of Cheetos that we could find.

Adriana smiles for the camera...
Ham!

Alexis smiles for the camera...
Cheese!

Adriana loves to hang from the
highest bar.

Alexis loves to hang from the
swinging bar.

Adriana and Alexis love to hang from
any bar... if they can be upside down!

This was the girls' Olympic Team,
the Shooting Stars.

Happy Birthday Emily!

Adriana and Alexis went to
Emily's 8th birthday party.
Fun was had by everyone!

They started out with delicious
Fruit Kabobs.

After a BBQ dinner,
the girls decorated their
wooden girls.

Except Alexis, she was found
on the motorcycle wearing a
witch costume or...

She was found playing this guitar
wearing the same witch costume.

Doctor Appointment

After the Como Zoo we headed off to
Lori's doctor appointment.

The girls were patient and well behaved.

No really!

The gloves were the doctor's idea.

The girls were so good,
they got a treat after the appointment.

Como Zoo

We took a quick trip to the Como Zoo for lunch!
We would like to "Prove our Case".

Fun Times with Tabitha

Alexis has more friends than Lori knows what to do with.
But Alexis knows exactly what to do...
Burger King!

Meet Tabitha, Alexis' friend from church.

Now you see him...

Now you don't!

Tabitha is a good friend for Alexis.
We hope she can play again really soon!
