Play date with twins

I'm having fun on the spider web with my friends Matthew and Nicholas, who came over today for a play date.  We climbed up to the top of the web too, but the picture didn't come out too well.

Grumpy old Troll

I was playing Grumpy Old Troll with daddy, and I asked him what 5 take-away 6 is, and daddy smiled and said, I'll learn the answer in sixth-grade, but it is negative one!

My Bowling Party

Even though I turned 6 on Wednesday, I celebrated today with my friends at the AMF College Park Lanes. Everyone had so much fun and so did I. Even my cousin Abbey was there too. We had fun playing duckpins, pretending to play arcade games, eating pizza, having soda, lemonade and a marble birthday cake with cars on it!! After my party, my Aunt Amy took Abbey and I to Pops and Gams house to play for a while. Then Pops and Gams took Abbey and I out to dinner, to the toy store, and to the cupcake store. Thank you Amy for taking me to Pops to play. Pops and I Gams thank you so much for celebrating my birthday with me, I had a great time. I was so glad I got to spend time with Abbey. It was the best day!!

I'm 6 years old today!

Six years ago today a wonderful woman gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, and gave him to a family that could provide for him. He spent 15 months with a wonderful foster family that loved him very much.

Happy Birthday, Bobby, we are so proud of you! Love, Mom and Dad

I'm in Kindergarten Now!

On Tuesday I played in the kindergarten room while mommy and daddy met with my teacher, Mrs. Brady. Today was my first day of kindergarten, and I told daddy I liked everything and want to go back next Tuesday. Half of my class went today, and half will go tomorrow, so I'll see all of my classmates on Tuesday. I'll also have music, art, Spanish, library, PE, and computers.

Earthquake!

Today at Spanish camp our teacher said that a big truck went by outside because she didn't want to worry us that we had an earthquake! A 5.9 earthquake rattled us. It was daddy's first day of student teaching and he helped his first graders out into the hallway after the building started shaking.

Our Relaxing Trip To Williamsburg

We had a wonderful time in Williamsburg. The first night that we were there, Stephanie drove from Richmond (an hour away) to have dinner with us and to stay the night. The next day, mommy and Stephanie went to a Salt Spa which they liked very much. While they were there, daddy and I went to the pool. It was mostly hot during our trip so we did things mostly inside. We went to Ripley's Believe It or Not. I liked the museum part and I was excited about seeing the 4D Wizard of Oz movie as well as a 4D Dinosaur movie. However, I did not like it and they both scared me. I also did not like being squirted with water 10 times. I did like the bubbles and the snow. Mommy and daddy also took me to a Children's Museum in Portsmouth, VA. I really liked that. Thursday the 14th, I did many activities with the Activities Staff while mommy and daddy spent the day together for their 10 year anniversary. It was nice to get away from them for a little while. Then that evening they took me out to dinner. Our last day there, mommy and daddy took me to Busch Gardens. I had so much fun riding the rides and I even got to see Grover and Elmo!! I really enjoyed the trip. Maybe when I am older I will like to go into Colonial Williamsburg.

I am now looking forward to seeing my Great Aunt, Connie, my cousins Ellen and Lauren and their children in St. Louis. Then we will be going to Hannibal to see Dawn, mommy's roommate from college all of next week. I am also looking forward to August when my Aunt Karen, Uncle Corey and my cousins Reagan, Harrison, Madison, and Kennedy come out for a visit.

Sand, Water, And Rides-Oh My!

What a fun-filled weekend I had. Mommy Daddy and I drove to Pop's and Gam's beach house for the weekend. I got to see Pops, Gams, Aunt Amy, and my cousins Abbey and Casey. Aunt Amy brought us kids out on the beach so that we could play in the sand. I really enjoyed that I did not like going into the ocean though. Amy even put the baby pool out on the deck so that Abbey and I could play in it. Boy did we have fun getting each other wet. I think we even got mommy wet a few times. One day, Amy and mommy took Abbey and I to Funland in Rehobeth. I really enjoyed the rides especially the one that is like an elevator but it goes up and drops down very fast. There was even a playground area that I could climb on which I thoroughly enjoyed too. However, mommy did not get a picture of that because she was keeping tabs on where I was going through the maze. The whole weekend was so much fun. Our next trip will be to go to Williamsburg in July. Mommy and Daddy said that it will be a lot of fun.

Field Day At St. Ann's

Today was my last Field Day at St. Ann's Academy. I had a wonderful time with all my friends. Here is a picture of me with all of the friends in my Pre-K 4 class. Next year I will be participating in Field Day at St. Francis International School (where mommy works).

Bobby saying goodnight to mommy

I was saying goodnight to mommy and she said she had to take a test tomorrow. I asked what kind of test, and she said to get certified as a teacher. I said, 'Oh, so the kids will be quiet and play nicely, and listen to you and follow the rules of the school'.

A Great Night With My Cousin, Abbey

Tonight mommy, daddy, and I went out to dinner with Pops, Gams, and Abbey. Abbey and I got to sit next to each other. We had so much fun coloring and laughing. Gams, Pops, mommy and daddy even played a 20 questions with us to keep us occupied. Since Abbey and I did so well with eating our dinner we were able to have some ice cream. Yummy! I had so much fun with Abbey and I cannot wait to see her again.

Bobby playing Ms. Pacman

I described this fantastic game I was playing with daddy: the snapping thing eats the dots and then the monsters turn blue and then you eat them.

Never mind that mommy and daddy played Ms. Pacman 25 years before I was born!

Fish Fry

Tonight mommy, daddy and I went to the fish fry at St. Camilla's. We had fish, mac and cheese, green beans, and corn bread. I really did not like the fish, however, I at least tried some of it. I really liked the mac and cheese, green beans, and corn bread. Here is a picture of me and daddy at the fish fry.

Mardi Gras at St. Francis International School

Tonight Mommy and Daddy took me to the Mardi Gras celebration at mommy's school. I had so much fun dancing and playing with the balloons. My favorite part was getting my face painted. So I had a snake painted on my face.

My 5th Birthday Party At Little Gym

Today I had my birthday party at Little Gym and I had so much fun. Daddy and mommy wanted to get me a birthday cake that had frosting and happy birthday written on it. However, I wanted the cake that had a big strawberry in the middle. Giant could not write Happy Birthday on it. So they put candles on the cake the said Happy Birthday. I was not fond of the cake after all. In the pictures we did some different activities and went on the Airtrak. It was a very fun afternoon. Mommy and daddy cannot believe that I will be five in a few days and that I will be going to Kindergarten in a little over seven months.

Breakfast with Santa round 1, and Bookfair round 2

Yesterday we went to Saint Francis International School where mommy works for their Breakfast with Santa. I told Santa I wanted a reindeer. Daddy answered a Nativity question correctly about who Saint Ann is (the grandmother of Jesus). He better get that one right, he works at Saint Ann's Academy!

Speaking of Saint Ann's, next Sunday is their Breakfast with Santa. Wonder what I'll ask their Santa for! Saint Ann's already had their bookfair, but Saint Francis was holding theirs this weekend. I couldn't understand why daddy wouldn't let me buy the same book I saw at the Saint Ann's Bookfair.

Today we went to Saint Ann's for church, and my classmate Claire was there for nursery during Mass. Good thing, I had been asking daddy since the night before if she would be there.

Presenting my new look

My Hearing/Vision/Speech screening a few weeks ago recommended that I get my eyes checked. Today mommy and daddy took me to Lenscrafters and I got these cool new glasses! Actually they're my third choice, I first was set on a pair of sports glasses, then a pair of brown glasses that ended up being too big for me. I told daddy I wanted to show them to my cousin Harrison!

Casey's Baptism

Today Casey got Baptized. After the Baptism, we went to Pops house to have some snacks. Today I also got to see my great-aunt Nancy, my great-uncle, Jim, and my great-aunt Ann. Once again, I got to play in the Moon Bounce with my cousins and had a blast. I really like that moon bounce. I wish I could have one in my basement but mommy and daddy said that it would not fit. When it was time to leave Pops and Gams house, I had to say goodbye to Aunt Karen, Uncle Corey, and my cousins Reagan, Harrison, Kennedy, and Madison. I was not happy and I did not want Harrison to leave and I do not like goodbyes. I was sad for a couple of days and I still miss Harrison. I had so much fun playing with him. I want to go on the airplane to Harrison's house so I can play with him. I wish I could play him every day. Mommy and Daddy said that I will be able to play with him soon.

Happy Thanksgiving

Today we went over to Pops and Gams house for Thanksgiving dinner. I had so much fun and if I had the chance, I would have played there all night long! I had so much fun playing with different toys with my cousins. We even got to color too. I tried a little bit of turkey, but my favorite food was the chicken nuggets and the peanut butter and jelly Uncrustable. For dessert, I had strawberry ice cream and I really like it a lot. The best part of the afternoon, was playing in the moon bounce in Pops and Gams basement. It is hard to believe that I actually used to be afraid of them because I love to play in there. I had such a good day playing with my cousins.

A Fun Day With My Cousins

Yesterday, my Aunt Karen, Uncle Corey, and my cousins Reagan, Harrison, Kennedy, and Madison came into town and was staying at Aunt Amy's and Uncle Scot's house. Today we had brunch with Aunt Amy, Uncle Scott, Aunt Karen, Uncle Corey and my cousins Abbey, Casey, Reagan, Harrison, Kennedy, and Madison at Aunt Amy's and Uncle Scot's house. Mommy's cousins Ellen and her husband Brandon were there too. In the afternoon, Abey, Reagan, Harrison, Kennedy, and Madison went to the park with Aunt Amy, Aunt Karen, Uncle Corey, and mommy and daddy. We had so much fun riding on the tire swing. It was a fun filled day and when we got home and had dinner, I was so tired that I went to bed. I

I wish I could be with my cousins every day, however, I have to go to school the next couple of days. I am looking forward to playing with them at Chuck E Cheese on Wednesday and also playing with them on Thursday and Friday.
