Summer Movie Series...

July 31, 2012...Today we went to the movies for our Tuesday summer movie.  We saw "Alvin & the Chipmunks:  Chipwrecked".  Grammy has been taking us on Tuesdays to see movies while Mommy works in the morning.  Grammy used to take Mommy to the movies in the summer when she was a little girl.  Here is the theater we go to.

Here we are with Grammy.  (The sun was in my eyes, and I didn't want to have my picture taken).

Thanks for all the fun, Grammy!  I love you!

Jack and Jack...

July 30, 2012...Today I had a swimming playdate with my friend, Jack S.  His middle name is Thomas, too!  Reesey came along for the fun.

Little Artist...

July 29, 2012...Me!  Mommy was trying to get a picture of my sunkissed hair as it is getting lighter from being at the beach and pool.  Instead, she got a darling picture.

Daddy let me watch "Star Wars IV: A New Hope" today.  I really needed to draw a picture of Chewbacca!

Hard at work...

Smile!  Mommy is so glad that I always give her nice smiles for pictures.

Here's the final product...CHEWBACCA!!!!

Last Day of Camp...

July 27, 2012...Today was my last day of sports camp.  I spent the week learning how to play soccer and doing all kinds of other things as the regular camp's theme this week was holidays.  Some of my favorite things from the week were making smores, eating "double" popsicles, earning beads, and my counselor, Maggie.  I didn't love camp, but it was a great experience.  I bet baseball camp would have been even better!

Here is the Sports Camp sign!  Our theme was Gatorade G-Sports.

Here is our huddle's spot in the Cooler.  Mommy used to hang out in this place a lot.

This is our huddle's sign.  I was in the Frost.  The other group was called the Fierce.

Here I am with my counselor, "Slammin'" Sam.  My other counselor, Maggie, left early because today was her half-day.  Sam said I gained more and more confidence as the week went by.

New Slide...

July 25, 2012...This evening we went to another Y pool.  It has a huge slide that you have to have a black band to go down.  Since I now have my black band, I couldn't wait to try out a new slide!

Waiting for the whistle to blow...

Here I am with my black band...

At the top of the slide...

And off I go!!!!!

I told you it was a big slide!

I'm 73 Months Old!!!

July 23, 2012...Yep, can you believe it?  I'm now 73 months old...6 years and one month!  Mommy hasn't taken many monkey pictures this year.  She's going to try to do better.  What I'm really into...playing Star Wars and baseball Wii; the Detroit Tigers, especially pitcher Justin Verlander; watching baseball with Daddy; playing Legos; drawing; swimming; drinking strawberry milk; watching "Sid the Science Kid" on PBS; reading The Magic Treehouse series (Mommy has read the first 20 books to us); listening to "We Built This City" by Jefferson Starship; my little brother, Reesey, and keeping my room clean and organized.  I love being with my family, and I always want to play with my friends.  Mommy has been working with my on my reading, writing and math this summer.  What I'm into...addition.  What I'm not into...reading, writing, and subtraction.  I'm doing a good job, but I don't love doing it!
