I heart Winnie-the-Pooh


This came out today: we are so excited! The first movie-in-the-theater we ever took the boys to was a Winnie the Pooh. Happy memories...

laser tag party















Last night was Mickey's 10th birthday party(with his school friends)- it was a combo party with his good friend Ceely. We rented laser tag and had it set up in Ceely's backyard. The kids had A BLAST(litterally). It was so good to see Mickey having so much fun with his classmates- it helped ease my worries about him- and them- a bit.
Guess who wouldn't give up her gun the whole night? Yep, the little toughy. We kept telling her she had to let the big kids have a turn but she was not tolerating that. She even skipped watching presents being opened so she could go outside and have extra time with the gun. That girl! How can she be so princess-ish and yet so rough and tough?
It was a fun time and a successful party. Everyone had TONS of fun and I even met some nice moms I didn't know- great night.

Cossetta's

eating at Cossetta's- our favorite Italian restaurant in St. Paul...
we made sure to stop there in early June when we were visiting and sent this picture to my sister Amy to make her jealous(she loves it there too)
I just thought it was a cute picture of the kids so I thought I'd share.

Mickey at the playground


In nice weather, I would let the kids all play for awhile on the school playground when I picked them up. In the spring Mickey has a very low tolerance for heat. So when the temperature reaches at least 60 he shuts down and acts like he is dying of heat stroke.
These are some pictures I took on May 16th. They depict very typical Mickey behavior for that time of year and just so you know he didn't realize I was taking the pictures with my phone(incase you thought he was doing this on purpose).
Amber was sitting next to me laughing and telling me to take a picture. I forgot to post them until now. Oh Micks Micks...

Eliott's graduation party- part 1

On June 2nd we headed to Minneapolis for Eliott's high school graduation. We all turned it into a long weekend and were able to do a lot of activities together.
On June 3rd we spent the afternoon at the Brooks' house celebrating Eliott's graduation. I took a zillion pictures and finally got around to uploading them all(it took an entire day). There were so many good ones it was hard to narrow them down so get ready because there are A LOT. I broke them into 2 posts- the next one will come tomorrow. Hope everyone enjoys them!













Oh and PS: I've been filling in a lot of missed days here and there(June and a little late May) so be sure to scroll back in the blog or use the titles on the side to view the ones you missed. I've been trying to keep them in order. I've been having a ton of trouble with my computers- we need a new one but I keep putting it off because it's a huge purchase(we want a Mac)- so that is why my blogging has been so sporadic and delayed this summer. I'm trying to catch up now and do better so keep coming back please! :)
