Happy Birthday Daddy!!

Birthdays are a big deal! We love to make the celebration an event!! Zach was so excited to sing to Daddy this morning! Birthday Breakfast (coffee) cake!!

Tonight, Andy & I went to Happy Hour Dinner (got to eat on the rooftop downtown) complete with birthday sundae!! Then went to see Wicked!! Which was awesome! Happy Birthday Andy!

Molly is 21 months!!

A few days late but Molly is now 21 months...sporting her pigtails and her independent personality. She is still as giggly and happy as always. Though she can be sassy and spicy at times, for the most part she is a happy go lucky kind of girl.

Firehouse Museum

This was one of the coolest museums ever...we saw lots of different fire trucks, got to dress-up like a firefighter, practice driving, using the hoses, sliding down the fire pole, etc...the best part was the end...a ride around the neighborhood on a real (old) firetruck. Super bumpy but super cool! Grandpa & Grandma enjoyed their time as much as the kids!

MINNESOTA Gophers

Wedding Crasher

Caroline is in town this weekend for her college friend, Lucas's, wedding. A little dancing sounded too good to pass up...so I decided to be the "wedding crasher," showed up just in time to show these young friends how to really cut a rug!! Was so much fun!! Instead of a DJ or band, they had dueling pianos...super cool!! Turns out Renee used to live with the Bride...small world!Caroline, Koren, Renee & Dave (aka Ras)

There is our Sweet Caroline...being serenaded by all the boys!!

We went to a different park today to play and have a picnic. The kids had a great time!! Our baby, Molly, is really showing that she is not a baby anymore. She did all the stuff the big kids could do...all with her bright smile and silly personality.
Big slide...here comes our big girl!!
