Belly Laughs...

I do believe we need to start charging admission for the Gianna Comedy Hour.  Where she comes up with the things she says and the looks that follow.....I have NO idea.  What I do know is that she has the capabilities of making me and the people around her laugh, you know, the belly laughs.  The laughs that make you feel really good...yep, those kind of laughs.  She is something special....

So, if you want to laugh....

"Seriously Dad, can't you get it? Can't you get it? Ugh, just go and sit over there."

Gigi's conversation with Daddy he was trying very hard to play princesses.

While standing in line at the post office reviewing colors, I said to her, "Gigi how did you get so smart?"  Her response, "Oh Mom, you know... from PapPap."

Gigi what do you want for breakfast today?  She replies, "noodles, hotdog, circus peanuts, and chips."  I look at her and say, "how about raisin bran?"  OH Mom she says...."okay, raisin bran with raisin's okay?"

She has such a bubbly spirit!  She brightens my day, everyday!!

Making Pizza through the years....

One of our favorite things to do is make our own pizza's....

The kids love to make their own food, and I love it too....

It's a great activity for them and they love to eat their own product...

So I thought...

let's see how they have grown...

here they are through the years of pizza making....

Bon Appetite!!

Garyn's First Field Trip

Garyn enjoyed his first field trip on April 29th.

He and his preschool class traveled to Trader's Point Creamery.

I was fortunate to be a chaperone....

It was so much fun.

Trader's Point Creamery is an Organic Dairy Farm.

The kids were guided through the entire farm.

They were able to see where the cows are milked (which is a really awesome thing to see- they give the cows molasses to keep them happy while milking, the cows get milked twice a day, and the milk is used immediately....)

They were all amazed at all of the cow's large utters, they learned of the disaster in the chicken coup (a skunk snuck into the coup one evening and had a feast....Gary LOVED this story) and lastly, they learned all about the poop pond.

It was a great and very educational field trip.  

I loved watching Garyn with his friends and eating lunch with him.

Trader's Point Creamery is a very fun place...it was even cooler to Garyn when a few days later we were grocery shopping and saw the milk and yogurt from the farm being stocked on the shelves....We of course had to buy some......

It was the best chocolate milk I have ever had....

Gigi has completed her first year of preschool!!

Hard to believe the school year is already coming to an end....

I am SO SO very excited for the kids to be home for the summer.

Unfortunately, I am a bad momma because I did not take any pictures of Gigi on her last day of school.  It was a kinda hectic day.  Ryan had nose surgery the same day....so while I was patiently waiting for Ryan to recover, Gigi was collecting all of her last bits of belongings and enjoying a breakfast gathering with her teachers, Mrs. Ogawa and Mrs. Sachs.  Ryan's mom was able to help throughout the day, so my mommy responsiblities were replaced with nursing responsiblities for a short while... 

Gigi has grown so much over the year....and I am so proud of her!  In one year she has grown 3 inches and gained 1lb.  Kinda always amazes me that this happens right in front of my eyes and I do not even realize it...She is now 37 1/2 tall and 27lbs.  My petite little peanut....oh how I love to snuggle with her!!

She is such an awesome and bright little girl.

Next year she will be away from me 3 days a week....OY, I already miss her.  

But, until then, I can't wait to play ALL summer long!!!

Way to go Gigi!  

We love you!

just a little picture of Gigi at a school party.....
