Gigi's birthday!

We went out this evening to celebrate Gigi/Gaga's birthday! We love having her so close and Callie and Carsyn love to go over to play. We love you so much Gigi! She has helped me in so many ways! She has shown me how to be a great mom!!

Friends

Last week we went to a friend of Callie's to swim. She had such a wonderful time! They are such a sweet group of girls and we will miss them so much next year!!

Sums up our summer

This picture sums up what we have been doing all summer!! SWIMMING!!!

Callie took three weeks of lessons and can swim everywhere! She is doing great! Carsyn has no fear and loves the water. We started in the ring and have changed to floaties. She goes under and is even blowing bubbles! No more swallowing water! What fun!!

Gymnastics

We finally decided that it was time to put Carsyn in a gymnastics class. She was a little unsure at first but she loves it now! She even is following directions without needing my help!! Last week she cried and cried when she thought we were not going! She always tells Callie that it is her class and Callie has to watch! Here are some pictures from our first class!

Sandestin 2010

This year we went to Sandestin Florida for our vacation. We had a great time. The girls loved it and were so well behaved! We could not have asked for a better time! Here are some pictures from our trip! I had over 200 so I tried to pick just a few! Enjoy!

Playing in the sand

Trying to be like her sister.

Loving every minute of the vacation!

The view of the beach that was oil free the WHOLE time!

We did not know if she would do this but she did! In fact she did it 3 times! She jumped higher then any of the other kids. She was doing all her jumps the whole time. I am afraid we have a cheerleader in training!

The purse went everywhere with us!

Love this picture!

Can you tell it is humid!!

They LOVED this! Me not so much!

First time on sand!

Wicked: Original Broadway Cast- Defying Gravity

Wicked

On Saturday I went an saw the best show I have ever seen in my life! I had the pleasure of seeing Les Mis when I was in 5th grade. I think I was the only one in our family that stayed awake throughout the whole show. I had heard so much about Wicked but I had not idea what it was all about. I went in without hearing any of the full songs. We had perfect seats in the 5th row. I went with a great group of friends, one that had a parking pass that got us right by the front door, and on a great day! I was beyond amazed!! I have some new favortie quotes on being, "Not all of us can travel in a bubble!" "There is no place like home" The music was incredible and there were parts that were so funny! I am counting the days till I can go back! I have always wondered why everyobe sings there songs so much! Now I am guilty of the same thing! I feel so pumped up about life after seeing it!
Of course my favorite song is this one! I love it and can not begin to tell you how much the words motivate me!
Enjoy!
