Cousins by Chance...Friends by Choice...

A Cousin is a Sister you never had!! Cousins are those childhood playmate who grow up to be forever friends!

Gymnastics...Get On Your Feet!

May 1, 2010 was Malissa's gymnastics recital. This is Malissa and her friend getting all dolled up for rehersal. Yup rehersal cuz that's when the pictures are actually taken. Flip!! or what ever they call it....

The Class...This is the group of girls that car-pool for the season.

This is the actual recital day. See no curls. They only lasted an hour. about as long as it took to put them there. She did great and it's always fun to watch.

Soccer Season has Begun...

Malissa - Kick that ball....

First Time...

Malissa first time driving a moped...I know she isn't quite old enough but she can handle it. As long as she stays on our property...and not the streets. FUN...FUN...

A Late Birthday Party...

Even tho my Pretty lil girl had her birthday a month ago there was no-time and the weather was horrible to celebrate with family or friends. So Randy & I took Malissa and two friends to Sioux Falls last weekend. So they could do some shopping, swimming and have a great time.

While out for supper at the Castaway right in the hotel this gal came around selling roses so Randy bought three...one for each of the girls! It was so sweet.
