Go Twins!

Go Twins!!

Tonight we got to go to the twins game with John, John's Dad, Bella and myself! We had a great time. Bella sang, danced, clapped a ton and just loved the whole thing! She even got to eat ice cream ( you can see it all over her face), popcorn, pop etc.

We are so lucky to have wonderful in-laws/parents who get all these fun tickets and they let us join in with them. We really apprecaite all they do and Bella just takes in so much and loves being with her grandma and grandpa.(we missed ya Myrna) Thanks guys you are so wonderful.

Saturday we went out all day on Sara and Kevin's boat. We all had a wonderful time. Bella even got out in the water in the middle of the lake and swam with John. So I haven't figured out her fear of a pool! Who knows. But they loved the boat and playing in the sand especially Parker. We all got some great sun too!

THE BEST FIREWORKS EVER!!!
Saturday after boating we went downtown to walk around down by the river and catch the Aquatennial Celebrations. There was a ton of people, bands playing etc. Then at 10:00 they had they best fireworks I have ever seen. They were LOUD and tons of them and the LASTED FOREVER~! It was so worth the kids crying, screaming, running around etc. They were sweet!

Where has the time gone?

Well I offically enrolled Bella today in pre-school. I am so excited for her but yet sad. She is growing up way to fast. So I am hoping she will take to it and really like it. It's 2 days a week for 2 hours. I'll keep you posted on how it goes when she starts.

This morning we got up super early (6:45 am) so that we could be out the door by 7:15 to head up north for the Isanti Family Days. Yes you may think I am crazy but it was so worth it. It was only $4.00 for me to get in and everyone else was free. Then they had everything for the kids FREE! It was great. They had, games/prizes, balloons, Ronald McDonald, big blow up jumpers, slides, clowns, fire trucks that the kids could look and sit in. Raffle tickets, petting zoo, reptiles, etc. It was a great time.

Anoka County Fair!

Last night we went to the AnOkA CoUnTy FaIr! We love this time of year so many outdoor things to attend. My mom, kayleigh, I and the kids went. We ate all sorts of foods... cheese curds, mini donuts, shaved ice etc. One of the best things to do at the fair! Bella road on a pony, held a rabbit and a puppy, she road on a ton of different rides and loves looking around. And of course My CAMERA wouldn't work!! Seems to always happen that way! But we all really enjoyed it.

Ouch!

As Bella was coming in for breakfest this morning she either tripped, fell or something but she fell right into the corner of the wall. (of course) She had marks right away. We tried ice but she dosen't like that so she has a nice swollen face. Poor thing. I always feel so bad for them when they are hurting. She was a little confused though when I was taking the pictures because I kept telling her not to SMILE! She looked at me like I was crazy! Since I am always doing the opposite. I had to laugh!

We Love the Park!

I love living in MN for a lot of reasons, 1 being the parks and lakes. They are so pretty and really peaceful. Bella and Parker love going and feeding the ducks, playing at the park and just walking around. It brings John and I so much joy to be able to live in such a beautiful place and to be able to bring our kids there and watch them enjoy it!

(he looks like such a little guy now!)

On Friday we went up to Cameron and Julie's house to hang out. We had dinner, the kids played and John and Cameron worked on their Framing in their basement. We watched for awhile since there was really bad storms out and Jana, Julie, myself and the kids were under the stairs. Well once that all passed Julie cut the kids hair for me! They both turned out so cute! Thanks Julie.
