Weekend Wrap-Up

Our first weekend of the school year was pretty quiet. The only photo I took yesterday was when I was outside reading. Maya and I headed to Boom’s this morning for a flute lesson. And then we had another dinner with Uncle Dan, Auntie Hanna, Mitchell and Isla.

Have a good week! 

A Picture Update

We survived the first week of school with some major exhaustion and gratitude it is now the weekend so we can slow down a bit. And not set our alarms for 2 mornings! 

Here are the photos from the week: one of Maya’s classes made the BPS social media, her gymnastics bar finally came, and Luna in the sun. 

And some evening basketball tonight during halftime of the Lynx/Fever game.

Have a good weekend! 

Timehop Tuesday: Back to School!

It was the first day of school for three of us today!

And for the Timehops, I had to dig out Chris’ and my 6th and 9th grade photos from the vaults (aka scrapbooks made by our mothers!).

Here we are as 9th graders…1996/2024.

And 6th graders…1993/2024

Weekend Wrap-Up

Hey all!  Happy Labor Day!  We had a lovely long weekend.

On Friday night I met my friend Jennifer for dinner and margs and ELVIS was there singing on the patio.  Ha!  On Saturday we went over to Chris' Uncle Richie's house for lunch and yard games with his family.

On Sunday Maya and I went to the Lynx game and she FINALLY got a free t-shirt (and all the players were wearing shirts that said VOTE...loved it) and I made crab cakes for dinner!  

Today was another round of State Fair fun...this time with Boom, Uncle Craigles, Auntie Yoda, Lucy and Mila!  We enjoyed more delicious food and drinks...

...and went on some fun rides!

It was so crazy busy, but we had fun regardless!

Uncle Dan, Auntie Hanna, Mitchell and Isla came over for some playtime and dinner tonight.  

And the new school year starts tomorrow!  Here comes middle and high school! 

A Picture Update

Holy moly we made it to Friday. I’m EXHAUSTED after 5 days of teacher workshop week and I think Chris is ready for the girls to go back to school on Tuesday! 

Here are our photos from the week:

Crazy storms!

Cousin time!

Middle school open house and more cousin time!

Have a good long weekend! I’ll be back on Monday night for the wrap-up.

Timehop Tuesday: Happy Birthday Avery!!!

Hooray!! Today is Avery’s 2nd birthday!!!

We love you and are so excited we got to celebrate on Sunday. 

I’m going to repost my Maya Timehop from the weekend today because I just love it. 

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday!  We had a pretty exciting weekend.  We left early yesterday morning to spend a few hours at the state fair!  We got all our fave foods, as usual: mini donuts, bacon, corn, g-free corn dog, cheese on a stick (new for me this year!), peaches and cream, pickle on a stick, French fries, and tiki whip!

We also stumbled upon Amy Klobuchar, so we got a photo with her.  We wandered around and went on the space needle. 

Maya and Boom did the swings, we did the weird mill ride, and ended at the dairy barn.

 

Of course, we had to do names at the Alphabet Forest as well.  

All in all it was a great morning!

Then, later that day, we had a Lynx game.  It was a big deal for two reasons- #1, it was against the Indiana Fever, so it was our first time seeing CAITLIN CLARK in person, and #2, it was Maya Moore's jersey retirement ceremony after the game!

First up, Callie made a sign for Caitlin and we got there super early to watch them warm up.

The Lynx won the game and clinched their playoff spot.  Woohoo!  At the beginning of the game, all of a sudden I saw that Maya Moore and her husband were walking to our right and were going to come right past us, so I was able to whip out my phone and get a photo of them on their way to their front row seats!  Everyone got t-shirts, and the ceremony after the game was so cool- her name and number is now up in the rafters with the other 4 dynasty players.  But the coolest part was that Chris and Maya were able to track her down after she did an interview and take a photo.  

Chris was determined to get this photo, because TEN YEARS AGO, he took our then-baby Maya to a Lynx event with Boom and Bops and got a photo of Maya Moore holding Maya.  

So...the most EPIC Timehop occurred last night and I have Chris' persistence and determination to thank!

So it was a special night all around!  Click here for some Lynx game content from the past couple of weeks.

Today's exciting even was AVERY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY!  Auntie Mari, Uncle Josh and Avery came to town today and we got together with Josh's family to celebrate our favorite little redhead.

Have a great week!
