Canvas and Chardonnay fun!

We got my mom and grandma gift cards to canvas and chardonnay for Mother's day and made a girls night out of it.  A class where they teach you to paint while you drink wine....nothing about that sounds bad to me at all!  We went to dinner before class and then painted the night away.  It was so much fun hanging out with you ladies and I can't wait to do it again!

 The final product!

First Day of Big Girl Dance Class!

Today was Peyton's first day of Dance class all by herself without mommy....bittersweet for me :(  She was so excited and did so well!  Now she loves dance class and asks me daily "Is it dance class night?" ...even if we just had it the night before.  I'm glad she loves it as much as she does!

Grandparents Day 2014

We had my grandma, grandpa, mom, and dad over for breakfast this year for grandparents day.  The girls had fun playing games, doing puzzles, and coloring with the grandmas and they made special art projects for them to take home.  Thanks for spending the morning with us!

Livy Lu's first day of kindergarten!

How is our baby girl in Kindergarten already!!!  She was so excited to go to school and absolutely loves it and her teacher, Ms. Gaard so far!  She is having lots of fun doing everything a kindergartener does: music, art, gym class, computer lab, and is making lots of new friends.  Here are some pictures from meet the teacher night and her first day!  Now we just have to work on drinking out of a milk carton....she's afraid she will get cardboard in her mouth....silly girl :)

 Finding her locker cubby at meet the teacher night.

 Little sister was a little sad to see her leave daycare and took it the hardest :(

 It took this girl forever to pick out just the right backpack but she finally decided on a pink cheetah print one.

 Peyt had to have her picture taken too of course :)

All ready to go!  She heard the bell  ring and took off mid picture!  I was like noooo just wait a second :(  We walked her inside and she jetted down the hall immediately with the line of kindergarteners.  I had to hold back the tears for just a second but I knew she would be just fine when she didn't even look back!

Summer Visit to Illinois!

We had a fun trip to Illinois the weekend before school started.  We celebrated Kade's birthday, played with everyone out at the cabin, and got to go to our first splash pad.  Why does summer have to end already!

 

 Going for a ride with grandpa.

 

 Having fun at the splash pad!

We stopped in Wisconsin Dells on the way home for a little fun at the game place!

MN Zoo Trip

We took our annual trip to the zoo a few weeks ago.   The weather was perfect and not too hot and we saw lots of animals including some babies!

 Baby linx....they were so cute!

 Girls didn't know the bears were fighting behind them....you should have seen the look on their faces when they turned around!

 The MN zoo got a new conservation merry-go-round.  It had all different animals and was really cute!
