Seeking Candy

Frankie's post:
I LIKE trick-or-treating! See me - I'm a tiger. Stanley is a Bakugan dragon kind of thing.
 I wish we could go everyday because my candy is all gone now.

Turning 6!!!!!

This year, I had a Mario Party.  It was awesome!
We had games - and my team (Team Mario) won.

We had good things to eat!


We had a chain chomp pinata!


We had a lot of FUN!!

Starting Kindergarten

Look out! Actually, it's just me starting kindergarten - Frankie's not old enough yet. I love Kindergarten - especially recess and PE.Well, you do have to raise your hand if you want to talk, and sometimes you have to wait a long time for the teacher to say "yes, Stanley".  But, it's still fun. And, I've learned how to make some hats now, too, so that's pretty cool.

Staying cool - even when it's hot

This is what we did this summer.
We played tennis!










Frankie started school - here he is on the first day.
We went to the zoo!

We went to the garden - or was it a graveyard?











We celebrated 4th of July - with Jello!

We went to a carnival!

We went to the gardens on a HOT day.


We played at some parks.

We studied in a one-room school house (with AC). Stanley wanted to know how the people used to kill animals back in the time of one-room school houses, but the teacher didn't have a very good answer for that.

 We panned for treasure and found some!

We smiled for the camera.


Stanley rode on a pony.

Frankie fed some goats.

We visited with a our Gramma Molly.

We cooled off in the fountain.

Stanley started Kindergarten! Yeah Stanley!

We painted pictures.

We rode bikes!



We visited with our Grandma Cookie.

We went to the zoo and rode the carousel.

Turning TWO!

Back when it was still hot outside, I turned 2 years old!

Having birthdays is so great. I got lots of presents and Stanley didn't. Ha ha ha!
And the cake was for me, but I let everyone else have some, too. 
And, I had a Dora and Diego birthday party with all my friends - that meant cake TWO times in ONE day.

 I just love Dora. And Boots and Bennie and Isa - even Swiper.
We had lots of fun. There were Dora and Diego decorations, Dora and Diego cupcakes, and a pinata!

Dad Day - Number 6!

Stanley's Post:
Well, Dad - always a lucky guy - was even luckier this father's day. His t-shirt was Pokemon - AGAIN! Last year we had Blastoise for Dad, Charizard for me, and cute little Turtwig for Frankie. This year, we were organized. Frankie had Charmander, I got Charmeleon, and Dad got Charizard - since he's the biggest. It was Mom's idea. I would have rather picked a stronger pokemon for my shirt. 

And, he got a coconut cake with real coconut. He's always wanted one of those. AND we made an art project for him. I think we still need a picture of that. It's beautiful, though. I used a LOT of gems.
