Sunday at Kelley Park

It was a low key day and loved it on this beautiful Sunday!

We packed a lunch and took our suits, chairs, wagon and off we went to Kelley park after Ave's nap!

Its a very fun park in Apple Valley! It has a water/sprinkler type area and then big park next to it! Its a fun place and the girls loved it! The girls weren't that daring and wouldn't go through the sprinkler stuff but went around it but it was fun! Here are some fun photos to share!

New Cut and Piercing

Saturday was a big day in Ave's life! It was time for a hair cut! My little girl is becoming a big girl! Since my love does NOT keep any type of hair clips or barrettes in her hair it was time to get her bangs cut! I tried to hold out as long as I could but couldn't take it any longer!

We made the appointment after her nap so she would be in a good mood and she was. She sat in the chair and was an ANGEL! She didn't make a peep or cry or whine! She sat on in the chair...sucking her sucker and watching Dora!

I originally thought we would just cut bangs....but since the back of her hair was long it would look like she was sporting a mullet! I was hesitant because she has such cute baby curls in the back and was afraid they would go away. I gave in and cut it all! It turned out really cute and the hair cutter braided the top and she KEPT IT IN ALL DAY!

After her big day at the cutters it was time to go get her ears pierced! She did great and only cried when it happened and then was perfect and didn't even seemed bothered by it! I couldn't have been prouder of my little girl!

Everyone meet Madison's fish NEMO!

While moving, TJ found a fish tank and thought it was time for Madison to have 'her' first pet!

She got to go pick out the colored rock, Nemo's tank friend and of course Nemo! She was so excited and she got to feed Nemo for the first time yesterday and was very proud of herself!

She says hi to him everyday and tells me that he had a good day...it is too cute and worth all of the 2.99 for Nemo! Love to see her excitement for such little things....if only to be young again :)

Sunday in Prescott WI

After a fun day on Saturday it was time for a great time in Prescott WI.
We went to the firework store and got a bunch of fun things and then went to grab Subway and sat on the grass and watched the nice boats come in...and maybe dream of having one :)
It was really nice! Avery however wanted to continue to go down to the water...yet didn't like the water splashing her! The girls chased each other, took a big family picture and ate our subs. Next year we are going to bring suits to go swimming!
After that fun in Prescott, we went home and put the kids down for a nap and then sunned and then ate fun appetizer foods and then did our own firework show in the yard!

It was a FUN 4th of July!

Famers Market and Rides...Fun Saturday

Last weekend was full of festivities!
On Saturday morning (left at 6:20am), we got up and TJ, myself, the girls, Marietta, Todd, Scarlett, Felicity and Aidan ALL went to the Minneapolis Farmers Market! It is just a fun place and fabulous atmosphere. Let me just say it was crazy with 5 kids but they were so well behaved! They each got a doughnut and we stocked up on fruits and veggies! I picked out some garlic cheese...A-MAZ-ING!!!!
After the farmers market we went back to the house and hung out for a bit and then headed to the Mall of America. It was a fun time. Aidan, Maddi and Felicity were brave to go on the rides. Scarlett would rather just watch :)
It was a FUN day!

Kaposia 2011

This weekend TJ had a softball tourney while Madison and Avery went to spend the weekend with Nana and Papa Iliff. They had a blast (as always)!

Mommy and Daddy had a good time at the tournament...too bad the weather was not very cooperative! OH well, lots of fun and lots of memories!

Sunday morning we went to pick up the girls and then spent the day watching Daddy play softball, running errands and getting back to normal!

Sunday night they had fireworks in South St. Paul. We thought...hey, lets try it! It was Madison's first time seeing fireworks! TJ, Marietta/Grandma, Shelbie, Madison and I went to watch the fireworks. Papa Todd and Avery stayed back. Avery was sleeping by 7:30pm!

We packed the truck up with some chairs and blankets! We parked at a school parking lot...easy to get out and not get caught in traffic!

Madison did great waiting for the show to start...she watched a movie on the phone!

Marietta enjoying her first time sitting in the back of a truck watching the fireworks! She was in heaven!

Me and Mad's...she would not look at the camera because she was watching a movie!

Daddy and Mads....Again would not look at the camera!

After the three big boom fireworkds...she was not moving. Why not start out with the loudest fireworks and scare the crap out of her :)

Much happier watching the fireworks from the back of the truck. She liked the "Tree and purple fireworks"!!!
