4th of July!

We had a busy and fun day on the fourth of July this year. It started out with doughnuts for breakfast that Livy picked out.....notice the chocolate frosting and millions of sprinkles :) Here are some pictures from our day!
yum yum!
After breakfast we read some books.
Livy reading to Peyton.
Then it was time to get their swim on.....in their matching swim suits :)
Always a happy girl!
I love Peyton's face in this one.....she's like "Ahh! It's cold!"
Playing with her ducky.
Ice cream cone break!
Sporting her fourth of July outfit!
The girls and great granny at our cookout!
We lit off little fireworks in the driveway and they were too loud for the little princess so she borrowed Matt's target practice ear muffs :) She wore them at the actual fireworks too :)
The fireworks staff.....Matt, Chris, and Joel

Liv and all of her glow sticks! She had so much fun with them! Thanks Erin and Vickie for bringing them!
Liv with Joel....waiting for the show to start!
Peyton loved the fireworks and didn't even mind the loud booms. She just stared at them and eventually fell asleep :) Hope you all had a fun fourth like we did!

Happy Birthday Chris!

A couple of weeks ago Chris turned the big 3-0 with me :) Livy picked him out a special birthday cake....along with a couple of special cookies with tons of frosting....for herself :) The next afternoon Chris and I celebrated by going to dinner and the Twins game while grandma and grandpa watched the girls. It was a fun weekend!
Chris and the girls!
Waiting for the game to start! We had great seats right on the field! Go Twins! And just for all of you....some pics of my favorite....Mauer :)

Dance Class!

This girl has always loved to dance and we have been waiting and waiting for dance class to start. Here she is on her first night all ready to go! She LOVES this class and has so much fun with the other kids. She now has to wear a ballet suit and tutu every week along with her ballet slippers....so her feet don't get dirty she says :) I will have to get some pictures of her this week to post. I have a feeling we will be taking dance for a long time :)
