7 Happy Memorial Day!
8 All decked out for Cousin Jason's wedding
9 Her sparkly pink shoes from the wedding became "glass slippers" - she didn't take them off for weeks. Even slept in them.

14 Missing brother (who was on a day trip with Daddy)... she wore his Lightning McQueen jammies all day
15 Carrying their babies in the slings Miss Lindsay made
16 In the dress-up room at the Children's Museum... she put on this band hat and proclaimed herself "a soldier", then picked up the baby and said "I'm a soldier with a baby - I do it all!"
17 No commentary necessary
18 Cozy jammies, Dora earmuffs and gloves, a Superman cape and a Tonka truck. What more could a girl want???
19 Someone found a pair of bloomers...
20 ... and proudly wore them over her jammies, proclaiming them "my unnerwears!"
21 Mega-cheesin' on the teacups with best friend Jaden (Dec 2007)
