Hi Anna

Hi Anna, How are you? Thanks for the great birthday. I had soooooo much FUN. I am excited that we are doing a speech together. I can not wait. Do you mind if I changed the back round? If you don't like it, you can change it. I almost forgot, speech is tonight! That means I will see you in a couple hours. Got to go and see you soon. Lots of Love <3 Bobbi

happy birthday, big 13!

hi, bobbi! i had so much fun with you today. i think my silly faces and your giggling were my favorite part. no, maybe it was the artichoke panini. or maybe just being friends with a TEENAGER! happy birthday, my funny friend!

love, anna

hey Bobbi,
How are you doing? I miss SO much!! Today Ethan pulled his tooth out. I would put up a picture up but I don't have one. Did I tell you I lost one too? I lost it at sonic. How is school going? When we start,were going to make school scrapbooks. I'm so excited. We ordered some cool scrapbook papers. You should come over with your school sometime and we can do it together. Hope your doing good,
Anna.

Summer!!!!

Dear Anna,

This week as part of our summer of fun me and my family went to a Disney hotel. We went to Coronado Springs. It was sooooooooooo much fun. They had a big twisty slide, hammocks and while we were there we saw a plane write things in the sky! They said: Jesus Loves You, Jesus 4 Gives, and Praise Jesus! Alot of writing for one plane! I tried to get a picture of praise Jesus but it didn't quite fit. We had a great view of the little lake. We rode on a bus to Downtown Disney and went on the monorail. What have you been doing for summer?

Love, Bobbi Marie

Ava with her new bitty baby

Dear Anna,

Ava is now 7 years old! Her birthday was July 9th. I don't have many pictures to post because most of the time I was too wet to take pictures. Ava got a late birthday present from Mommy and Daddy, it was a Bitty Baby! She was so happy, she named it Emma. Happy Birthday Ava!!!!

Bobbi Marie :)

Summer of Fun!!!

Dear Anna,

Yesterday my family and I went bowling! We were all excited because this was the first thing we did from our summer of fun list. All of us have our own unique way of bowling. Cooper sort of throws his off to the side, Ava runs up, gets her momentum going and then swings it forwards backwards then throws it , and Charlie well... He just nails his ball towards the ground and lets it roll! The bottom picture is done in negative! Doesn't it look cool? I love bowling....

Love, Bobbi

Pumpkin Perfect!

Our pumpkin is growing more and more each day. Just a few days ago it started turning orange! Last year when we carved our pumpkin we scattered the seeds in our butterfly garden and...Voila, a pumpkin turned up!! We were hoping it would be ready to carve by October but... it might be ready a little too early!

Books!!!

*Dear Anna,

Now that it's summer, I am reading tons of books. Since school got out I have read six good, long chapter books. I just found this really good series by Margaret Peterson Haddix. She has a series called The Shadow Children , She also just writes books that aren't in a series. One of them, my favorite, is called Uprising. It is about three girls from 1911 caught in a fire that changed America. At least that's what it said on the cover!! I already added more books to the "My favorite books" section. I can't wait to see you again!

Love, Bobbi Marie:)

Braces!

Dear Anna, Yesterday I got new braces! They don't hurt as bad as spacers. I got green and pink rubber bands.They took forever to put them on! I was there, sitting in a chair for an hour and a half. The hardest part was holding my mouth open for so long! They said it will take about 30 minutes to clean my teeth EVERY night. Well, at least I get ice cream! Love, Bobbi:)

can't wait to see you!!!

Sock Monkey

Dear Anna,
Yesterday I was at my Nan's house and we spent all day making a sock monkey. It was a little tiring with all the hand sewing but when the monkey was done... it was worth it. We even went to the craft store and got him a little hat. He is so cute!:) I named him Larry.

Love Bobbi

Beach Day

Dear Anna,
Sunday we went to the beach. We had fun fishing, boogie boarding and playing baseball. We even ran into a friend from Cooper's soccer team. His Dad was fishing like our Dad. We had an extra player for all of our games. What have you been up to?
Love, Bobbi

Not Again!!

OK Ava, you might as well loose all of your teeth. This is the second tooth you have lost on the same day!

The Tooth Fairy is Coming!!

Today Ava lost her first tooth!! She was eating a sandwich when she noticed that it was loose. After lunch she took a napkin and plucked it out. I am so happy for Ava, she really wanted to have a loose tooth let alone lose one!She has another tooth right next to it that is also loose. Every once in a while I will catch her looking in the mirror smiling at herself!
