Guess who broke her wrist???

We have never had a broken bone but now that streak is lost! Anna broke her wrist on the monkey bars Sunday night - she fell off the monkey bars & landed "funny" on her wrist. I knew right away it was more than a usual fall. It hurt her, but once we got ice on it, she felt better. Anyway, we waited until Monday afternoon to take her for x-rays because we thought it might just be a sprain. She did not use it but she said it didn't hurt, so I figured it might not be broke. I always assumed a break REALLY hurts, but that is not the case! Learn something new every day....

She won't let me take a picture yet, but I promise to get one anyway!!! Stay tuned....

I got the pic - a huge smile as usual! She is doing great & you wouldn't know it was broke the way she jumps around. She is even hitting with one arm! It is waterproof, thank goodness! She also has lots of signatures - she broke down & decided to have people sign her cast. What a good sport she is being. Thanks Anna for not complaining & rolling with the punches.

Fun times with Dad & Grandpa Carollo

Jo & Pete strumming the guitar! They do this a lot!!

Grandpa Carollo & Anna being silly with Jo - I love that belly laugh!

Spending time at Tilles Park!

Happy 21st Birthday Lauren!

I can't believe Lauren is 21! She is the oldest granddaughter, and she turned 21 on the 4th of July! Our little family went to the pool all day, and then Pete & I had dinner at Chevy's with everyone to celebrate Lauren's birthday. My mom & dad watched the kids as they did not want to go (they did not want to see Lauren get drunk - typical grandparents!) Lauren is so talented & beautiful - we are so proud of her!!! Lauren opening our gift! We bought her 21 different gifts (Mary - great idea!) She loved it!

Stephanie, Skip, Mary & I having margaritas (not Stephanie yet!)

We bought her a "chocolate cake" shot!! Go Lauren!

Guess who's 21?

Two beautiful sisters: Stephanie & Lauren

Under the Sea (at SummerQuest)

Rosie and Anna's 2nd play at SummerQuest had the theme "Under the Sea." Unfortunately, I could only attend Rosie's play due to work. Sometimes I'm not sure how much I'm at work versus running here & there with the kids. Sshhhh - don't tell anyone at work that I just said that! Ha Ha! Trust me, I put in time when no one is looking....

Rosie singing her song (with her class)! It was another entertaining performance! I loved it Rosie!

A very wet High School Musical at the Muny

Well, the long-awaited HSM at the outdoor Muny in Forest Park was a little different than planned. I purchased 20 tickets for everyone who wanted to see HSM in my family. They were great seats plus we had a backstage tour before the show (compliments of Grandma Carollo's connections). Unfortunately, we had a downpour right before the show started (we did have umbrellas), but the show started at 9:15! We did not get home before midnight. Rosie & Anna are going to be so tired after a day at camp today - let's just say there could be some meltdowns when we get home this afternoon. I'm a little tired too.

Anna fell asleep a little after intermission in my arms, and then I carried her to the car. She hasn't figured out that her flip flops fell off while I carried her b/c it started to rain again when "We're all in this Together" started. We decided to leave, and in the mess of people leaving, flip flops fell off. I wonder how she will handle that revelation? She has certain clothing items that she really likes.....

If you have seen Anna in full fit mode, you can imagine what it will be like. I'm already counting to 10 in my head.....

All 20 of us up on the Muny stage!

Pete with his favorite guitarist of all time!

Pete went to see Modest Mouse last night, and he got his picture with Johnny Marr. He is so funny! Last time, he got his guitar signed by him. I just had to post this picture!! I just told Melissa at work that Pete looks so happy - it makes me laugh because he is such a little kid.
