every bag of Cheetos that we could find.

Ham!

Adriana loves to hang from the

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

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!

Fishes

Adriana and Alexis really enjoyed Swimming Lessons this year.
They might be growing fins and gills!

This is Adriana with her teachers, Leah and Tony.

She spent her days swimming and diving
in the 10 foot deep area, with her friend Alice.

This is Alexis and her teacher, Brittani.

Alexis ended up being the only student in her class.
So she got private lessons without the extra price...SCORE!
Due to the 1:1, she passed everything for Level 2,
and she learned a lot from Level 3.
