She does not get this from me...

This is Gianna at gymnastics today.  She made it all the way to the top.  Is it sad that I am jealous of my 5-year old's muscle tone?  I promise to post more soon!

First day of Kindergarten

 Gianna and her friend, Ellis.  They have been friends since they were babies! 

 Walking to school.

 The school mascot.

 Gianna in her seat in her new classroom.

Gianna and her friend Sophia.  They were in Pre-k together last year.

I am too annoyed with my computer and blogger to add anything else today!   I had about 30 photos selected and then everything froze and I cannot go through all that again tonight.  Anyway, hopefully soon I will post more!

Mini-Olympics (April 2012)

Easter, Wildflowers and more

Nick insisted on having his hair in a turbi towel just like Gianna.

My first costume for Gianna - she was a question mark for a show her class put on about the union of Q and U.

Easter

Gianna and Uncle Ricky

Gianna, Nick, and Matt's cousin's kids for the Easter egg hunt at Grandma Debbie's house

Nick's birthday. Notice Gianna singing.

Nick has an obsession with this chef's hat.

A random assortment of things - in no real order

At the zoo.

The haircut.

Gianna and her cousin, Gabrielle.

Gianna and Gabrielle put on a show for us. There was mostly jumping and dancing although there was supposed to be some "play on words". Nick jumped into the mix as well.

Mitch, Gianna and Nick's cousin, had to wear Gianna's pajamas one night. They say, "I need my beauty sleep" on them.

Sisters (and Nick).

We had a Chuck. E. Cheese outing. My mother won a zillion tickets due to her ultra-competitive ski-ball playing. The tickets bought 2 cheap plastic toys for each child.

At Crystal and Anand's house with all the kids lined up. This was the best picture by far of them all.

There was a fun game of tackle Tom outside. Notice the lack of snow.

The sisters and the kids. Evan is a little hidden...

Nick on Christmas with his new baby.

I had big plans that the kids would help me make sugar cookies. I did most of the work and it took literally 3 hours to frost them. But they turned out pretty good.

At breakfast with Santa at Nick's daycare.

Why we enrolled Gianna in gymnastics. She is like a little monkey!
