A bit more Maya birthday sweetness…

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday!  We had a VERY big weekend.

Callie performed in the show, Legally Blonde, four times!  Boom, Pa and Auntie Cat came on Friday night.  It was SUCH a fun show!

And after the show, we got Maya's birthday stuff all ready for the morning!

Yesterday was Maya's birthday!!!!  She was up before 7am, of course, and we were at the cookie story by 8am to pick out her birthday cookies!

Once Callie woke up, Maya opened her presents.  She got lots of fun gifts!

Then G-ma, Pa, Auntie Cat, Uncle Dan, Auntie Hanna, Mitchell and Isla all came over for a party. We walked to the park before the rain was supposed to come.

And then after a bagel lunch, she opened some more fun gifts! 


The cousins all had fun loving up Luna! 

Then it was time for a birthday haircut!

THEN LATER, Boom came over and Maya got MORE fun gifts!  And we went to dinner at (where else?) CHIPOTLE!!

All in all it was a great day and so fun to celebrate our 9-year-old!

I'm posting this on Sunday morning, so my wrap-up is missing a day.  But it is for good reason...I promise!  Come back on Friday for my Summer Update: Week 7!

Take care and have a great week!

Happy Birthday Maya Leigh!!

This sweet, spunky, silly girl is 9!!!!!!!!

Time has gone so fast! Happy birthday Boogers! We love you!

Summer Update: Week 6

Happy Friday afternoon!  I’m coming  at you a little early today. Here are the pics from our week...

Monday: a pretty view on my run and typical Monday night chaos

Tuesday: an afternoon at the pool!

Wednesday: another pretty morning run sky, Maya teasing Luna with a newly made robot (from Robot camp), and a police reserves picnic

Thursday: seriously gorgeous skies at 6am and Callie’s opening night!!!

Friday: a bit of pampering!

Callie has three more shows this weekend (tonight, tomorrow and Sunday afternoon!) PLUS we have a certain almost-9-year-old’s birthday tomorrow! 

So come back on Sunday for another big wrap-up.

Have a great weekend!

As summer flies by, so do the years! 😭😭😭

Weekend Wrap-Up

Hi all!  Happy Sunday!  We had a busy and productive weekend.

While Chris and I spent all day doing chores and being productive, the girls went to the lake and for a picnic lunch with G-ma on Saturday!

Today was a BIG day.  Maya had her birthday party!  It started out at her gymnastics gym.  We had the whole place to ourselves and it was SO FUN.

The foam pit was a huge hit with all the kids!

The balance beams were fun too.

A few adults even got in on the action!  And Mila was adorable doing all the things.

So much fun all around!

Then everyone came back to our house for some backyard water fun.  It was nice and warm so the kids had a blast getting wet.

Since Maya's favorite meal is tacos, we catered lunch from Chipotle!  

Then she opened presents and got so many fun gifts.

Then it was time for cupcakes!

To cap off the busy day, Chris and I met Jenna and Andy out for dinner and concert tonight.  More summer fun!

Take care and have a great week.

Summer Update: Week 5

Hey all!  Happy Friday!  The end of week 5 means we are halfway through summer.  I can't BELIEVE how fast it is going.  Quick COVID update- Chris is totally fine and finishing up his indoor masking today after his previous quarantine through last Monday. Thankfully, it seems that the girls and I are all in the clear!  *knock on all the wood*

Maya spent Monday at Boom's house with Lucy!

Then later we watched the coverage of the new photos from space.

On Tuesday morning Maya and I did a bit of paddle boarding at the lake.

After Callie's rehearsal we went to the pool for a bit, and then played outside.

The weather was wild that night and we saw a rainbow!

Maya and I did a bunch of errands and chores on Wednesday, so the only pics I got were from our patio dinner.  It was a beautiful evening.

Yesterday morning Boom, Maya and I headed to the Minnesota Zoo!  We had a great time exploring and seeing all the animals.

We even ran into Auntie Hanna's sister Becca, Becca's kids and Hanna and Becca’s dad!

Today I sent Chris the picture of Luna at 6:30am.  Since he has been quarantining and/or masking indoors and sleeping in the basement, Luna has fully taken over his side of the bed.  Then Maya and I went for a run and Pa came over to do a new Tinker Crate and other fun projects!

Tonight we had dinner at the pool with friends and it was a great evening! And the only picture I got was the pretty sky while we were walking out. 

Take care and have a lovely weekend.
