Happy Birthday Dad!

He chose the place!

It was tons of fun!
We all rode rides!
We played lots of games.
Some of us did some watching! :)
We earned lots of tickets.
We got a frisbee and several plastic tiaras with our points!
Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Really!? TP!

I thought that for sure we have hit the TP free zone. Chris and I are too old and the girls are to young!
Silly me. We are both teachers and Chris is a HS football coach! We woke up to this!

I have to say, glad it's not eggs! Go Gophers~ I guess!
But if you read this.... beware! ;)

What we've been up to!

Maia has been taking her aggression out on the pool noodle!
Liah's been splashing around!

We had a water balloon fight!
We hung out at the outdoor mall!
We really got soggy! :)
We did some art! (Maia says to me, "I ranned out of paper Mom. I colored on my arms and face!) Lovely!
Liah is getting ready for preschool! (Keeping up Gaga's work!)
Ahhh sweet summer!

Summer kickoff!

We started break with a day of fun in the sun!

We had a picnic.
This marks day one of tanning!
We swam for hours!
It tuckered Maia out!
Then, we went to start Liah's 4th birthday (6/14) celebration! She wanted her ears pierced!
So brave!
A little nervous!
And horrified!



We were honest with her about the entire process, pain included. She understood, she was all in!
She recovered quickly!
Then was even smiling!
We took her to the Disney store for a bravery toy. Maia fell in love with these shades!
Then we went out for a yummy dinner. How stinking sweet is this picture!?
The trouble side! (It's funny how she doesn't resemble me in the least!)
Then we did our annual "kickoff" and bought our matchy~match Nikes!
We tested them out!
They rock!
Then we posed!
Day 1= AWESOME!!!

It's the final countdown!

Yeesh what a last week of school! Busy~busy~busy! This is me after promotion. The kids were awesome!
This is a bad pic (through a window) of Chris at the 8th grade promotion. He was the closing speaker! He rocked!

Manda chaperoned the dance with us, as well as helped run my life all week. She is a saint!
Melissa, a Kindergarten teacher, helped chaperone the 7th and 8th grade dance!
Since we are parents, we took some extra dancers with us!
Manda sat out the slow songs cause she couldn't find an 8th grader to dance with!
I found a partner! (and no I am not preggers~ my Hannah Montana wanna be outfit was bad!)
We had a blast!
We danced the most!
We fed the kids Cheetos to help sustain their energy level! They danced til 9pm!
Manda with the girls (Aimee is Melissa's daughter, the girls adore her!).
Maia was the dancing QUEEN. Please notice her smitten expression and all the (brown) boys' hands around her~ she gets it from her Mama! :)
Liah also tore up the floor!
Maia up front for the Cupid Shuffle!
My Mom had to revisit bed rest so we took the girls to school with us. This is Liah with Belle. They could be sisters!
The last days were sad because my girl, my neighbor, my friend Enika is leaving! :(
Things will not be the same!
With the close of the school year I am going to miss my awesome class, I am already nervous for next year, but I am so ready for summer! Sunshine, swimming, tank tops, flip flops and birthdays here I come!
Did I mention quality time with my family! Oh Yeah!!
