Sunday 9/12

We had a wonderful day today! We had a fun, leisurely lunch with some dear friends and the kids had TONS of fun with A & E. We can't wait to do it again soon. Later we hit the ball fields for some practice for Will and running for Morgan. We also tired them out ;) at the playground!

Friday 9/10

Today was the Hawk Walk at Will's school. It's their once-a-year fundraiser and they raised over $16,000! The weather turned out perfectly and the rain held off until we were done.

This is when they found out they exceeded their goal and won an bounce house party next week!

Wednesday 9/8

Tonight was soccer and what a GORGEOUS night! This week it's been 72 and sunny - perfect weather in my opinion!

Here are some action shots of the soccer star:

Don't you love Morgan's "matching"? Mommy picked out the outfit but Morgie picked out the sweatshirt :).

Monday 9/6

Bounty! The kids love helping with Grandma's garden while she's away. We hadn't picked in awhile so we had lots today!

Both kids are loving the new chalkboard/whiteboard we got at Ikea.

MMMMM, smells like fall in our house today! Pumpkin bread! Come on fall!

SURPRISE!

That's what my sweetie said to me early Saturday morning. I wasn't exactly sure what he was talking about....but I was to pack and get in the van. Ummmm, OK! Turns out we were off to Minneapolis for a quick overnight getaway. We spent lots of time at Ikea (WOOHOO!) and came away with some great deals and storage solutions for our new living space. After that it was back to the hotel for a quick nap and then off to my favorite steak place, Ruth's Chris, for an incredible dinner. After a blissfully quiet and uninterrupted (no kids!) sleep we explored the Mall of America for several hours before heading south to home and the kids. We had SUCH a wonderful time and it was so good to get away even for only 36 hours. And the best part? We still have a whole day of vacation tomorrow! My sweet hubby rocks! :)

Thursday 9/2

Tonight was Morgan's first night of gymnastics and she LOVED it! This was the first year that I didn't go in with her, so there were a few tears at first, but as you can see from the pictures the tears dried quickly!

Wednesday 9/1

I left the camera on and the battery is now dead. So we get camera phone pictures today!

The view from here :)

Cool girl with sunglasses and the bubby

In other exciting news, Will broke a tooth a couple of weeks ago...on a PLASTIC water bottle. Oh, joy, more dental work.
