Vi is going to be in the paper!

Melissa is putting an ad in the South Mountain Paper for the studio. Below is the ad. This picture was taken at the June recital. I, of course, am going to get numerous copies of the paper.

Bear down Chicago Bears...

As you already know we are HUGE Bears fans. The first two weeks have been crazy but we think we figured out how to get the Bears to win. Vi needs to wear her Urlacher jersey.
Here are me and Vi cheering on the Bears.

Vi sporting her Urlacher jersey. Since he is out for the season she has taken on his motivation.


GO BEARS!!

My Diva

Vi really knows how to strike a pose.

What happens in Vegas...

...gets posted on Vi's blog! We went to Vegas for Labor Day Weekend to relax and hang out with my family. We had a blast!! It was so good to see everyone...

Eddie hasn't been to Vegas since we got married. After the whirlwind of joyous emotions raced back from that faithful day he enjoyed a little gambling.

Vi and Madeline were happy to enjoy birthday number 3 for 2009. Another plus was that I got to see my sister prego. I didn't get any pictures but I am sure the kid already knows who I am. How do I know this you may ask...I bumped into her belly about 3 times. I am not used to it sticking out so far! :)

Denise came in from FL to celebrate her 50th (I know she looks great right). Matthew and his roommate Kirk flew in from Montana. They had one more summer fling before starting back to college. What a way to end the summer huh boys ;0

Brenda pulled herself away from the hubbie and her baby boy to get some gambling in. I haven't seen her in 3 years and about 10 for Eddie so I am glad she came in.

Evie and Leonard rounded out our group. I love sitting and talking with them!! Evie always makes me laugh!! She is the grandmother I never had...zing!

We had a GREAT time seeing the family! Even though we didn't win any money the rewards of this trip exceeded any amount we could have won!!

Much love to you all!!

Star Student

Last week Vi was the Star Student of the Week. She had to bring stuff to school that she liked or told something about her. She brought some pictures of herself and some family pictures. She also brought the book Who Stole the Cookies? to read to her class. The teacher hung the pictures and Vi talked about herself and what she liked one day in class. All the students in her class had to write a note to her and then the teacher made a book for her. The bold words were already there and then they had to fill in the rest. Here are some on my favorites...

Today I took Victoria to get her pictures taken. They turned out very well. Here are some that we did not choose...

This is a cool silluette picture.


Had to make sure we got a picture of the painted toes...

This is one of my favorites...I love this background with this outfit..

She had to throw some of her attitude :)

Dinner

Tonight Vi and I were sitting at the table eating dinner, chicken and rice. We were having a nice cinversation when Victoria stops and says did this meat come from an animal? I said yes, now eat your chicken. She stopped and put her fork down and looked at me. She then picked up her fork and said I didn't know animals were so delicious and took a big bite. She is so funny...
