Mia wanted a princess birthday this year. Pop the balloons on the trampoline
Mia had a case of bug bites that had gotten to a scabby stage so she thought she needed band-aids on all of them.
2 of her german/american friends Sarah (in the middle) and her sister Angelina.

Morgan's Birthday
Morgan has a very strange sense of humor. She loves cats so this year we made her a Kitty Litter Cake for her birthday. It is crumbled up cake and vanilla oreos mixed with a little pudding, sprinkled with more oreos (some with green food coloring) and the piece de resistance ?-- tootsie rolls! We actually made 2--one for her to take to school to share with all her classmates. Only one kid wouldn't eat it.

clouds and rainbows
The cloud formations here are pretty fabulous (except on the all gray sky days!). We do a lot of cloud watching. We find a lot of shapes. This particular day had been one of the blue sky days with lots of fluffy white clouds. A storm system moved in bringing rainbows too. I had been out walking the dog and had to hurry home to get the camera.

Swimming
Mia loves to swim--she has no fear of the water. She is jumping into a 12 foot deep pool. She also learned how to dive this summer. She does need a flotation device still. This is a neat one. It has foam pads front and back and as she gets stronger you take pads out (there are ten). She currently has half of them out. For some reason i can't load the video clips of her diving so these 2 pictures will have to do.
This is her straddle jump This is her Russian Dancer jump (sisterly influence)
