Adorable Puppy Girl!!

Fitter & Faster Clinic

We went to St Louis so I could be trained by former Olympian, Claire Donahue and a former Paralympic swimmer Tucker.  We went with Sophia and her Dad and stayed at the Marriott in downtown St. Louis. 

After a big early breakfast at the hotel, we spent the entire day at two different clinics.  I learned lots of skills, got motivational techniques and even got to hear the Olympians tips and tricks to success.

It was a great session!

First Day of 5th Grade

I am officially a 5th grader in Ms. Barrett's class!  We started the first day of school like we usually do with breakfast with Addi (and now Blake...he is a kindergartener) at McDonald's, took pictures and mom walked me into school.  She was one of a very few 5th grade parents!

I had a great day and am looking forward to a great year!

Last Day of SUmmer!

My last day of summer was spent hanging out with my favorite summer buddies!  We went shopping, ate lunch at Spin and played!  It's a total bummer all the fun and freedom of the summer is over!

Back to School Shopping!

Mom, Nama and I went back to school shopping and had a blast!  Mom said it was like shopping with a teenage as I can shop both the kid and adult stores. 

I got my dream Lululemon pants and lots more clothes to get ready for school and fall!  I got jeans and tops, bras and even got underwear at Victoria' Secret (no more kiddie panties)!  I love all my purchases!!

We had McDonald's for lunch and then Papa met us for dinner at Ra Sushi!

I even did a fashion show with a few outfits like I used to do when I was little!

A totally awesome day!
