MOTORCROSS BABES

This past January mom and dad bought Mimi this new four wheeled motocross bike for her birthday. However our weather being what it is, the bike has been in storage until this afternoon when dad put it together for her. Of course Blake and Bailey are ecstatic about it too as Mimi likes to share it with them. Mimi and Blake have since outgrown the smaller motor bike that Mimi has. However they still like to ride it in the house even though their knees are touching their chins.

GIRL TALK

Had Mimi still be living in Southern California, she would be at Disneyland right this very moment with Samantha and her family . Since we are all up here in Washington, mom thought that it would be a great idea to call Samantha and her family to let them know that we are always thinking about them and let them know how much we love them and the fact that they are part of our lives forever. This video was actually taken yesterday but I did not get a chance to put it up until today.

THE TWO DAREDEVILS

In the evening Sara came by the house with her mom Daphne and big sis Tasha. These two girls always have a blast whenever they are together.

TEA TIME

After school our little Miss Erin had invited Mimi and Zoe and Caitlin over to the house for a special tea party. I thought to myself "Man, that's a switch!" Erin and Caitlin are 200% girly girl princesses and here's Mimi and Zoe both tomboys. Usually it's Mimi who can get Erin up a tree. I guess now it's Erin's turn to get Mimi and Zoe to dress like princesses. I guess opposites do attract.

IN THE CLASSROOM

While the kids weren't looking, I tried to snap as many pictures as I could. Tee Hee Hee.

CIRCLE OF LIFE

This afternoon was mom's turn to volunteer in Mimi's classroom.For a couple of weeks now they have been studying about the circle of life by using the baby chicks. The eggs hatched over the last weekend and as you can see they are already losing the fluffy feathers and the adult feathers are coming in. Today was their last day in the classroom. They will be on their way to a chicken farm next week.

Mimi's classroom has now moved on to studying all about butterflies and tadpoles.

EYE EXAM

Of course mom forgot the camera at home again so no pics. Last Monday mom had an appointment with the eye doctor to get her eyes checked for her prescription glasses. Mimi decided that she too needed to have her eyes checked. So we did just that last night at Costco optometry. At first the doc suggested that I take Mimi to a kiddie eye doctor because her office does not have all of the kiddie decorations and such. That was until I explained that Mimi will do just fine. Just like I said, Mimi came through like a little trooper. Our Mimi loves going to the doctor, dentist and eye doctor. Go figure!

Although I know that Mimi's eyes are in good shape, I have her go for an exam anyway just so that she will get used to it and not be afraid of any doctor or dentist.

The optometrist says that her eyes are straight, and that she is able to focus well but she is just a bit farsighted at this point in her life. The doctor says that it is quite normal for a child of 6 to be little farsighted and that it should straighten itself out as she gets older.

While at Costco we also had dinner, did some shopping, then went back for ice cream desert. While eating our ice cream we saw Caitlyn and Conner from our neighborhood. They were there with their mom Amber. Mimi loves to play with Caitlyn and Conner at the park. Their backyard leads right into the park so they are there about 90% of the time. Caitlyn who is 9 years old is 200% tomboy just like Mimi and Conner is 7 years old and is all boy. They all get along just swell at the park.
