Summer Days...


Did you see the Today Show today? I did not, but a few friends gave us the heads up, that our city is considered the #1 place to live right now... Clearly whoever voted, has not been to MN in the winter!!! Regardless, we are flattered, and we agree this is a great place to raise a family!

I can't believe we are literally halfway through Ainsley's summer vacation already... It doesn't feel like we have really done a lot yet other than our fabulous trip to Chicago and regular visits to our cabin on the weekends... But, the weekdays seem to fly by, and we must be filling them up somehow! Today was day two at our club pool. It was another gorgeous summer day... Sienna and Ruby are absolutely loving the water!! Today I had Ainsley and a friend to help play with the little girls. This allowed me five minutes to sit on a chair and well... just sit!!!

Ainsley just had a fun 4-day weekend with Jeff up north. Jeff's brother, Greg, and our nephew Evan made a last minute trip up to play for a few days.. They brought with them three of Evan's friends.. From what I hear it was a great time for all!!!! Ainsley had a blast being the youngest, and tubing with the big kids!!! It was a fun spontaneous trip for all of them! I stayed back with Sienna and Ruby and went to a wedding... I also did a little shopping for three big July birthdays coming up!! Starting with Jeff on Friday!

I am finding it harder to blog, as my days are spent hanging with the "Things" and Ainsley when she is not at a play date, playing tennis, or doing various other things.. She has a fun Target audition this week that we hope she gets... We were laughing the other day, because she had just said to me, "I guess my modeling career is over!" It just sounded funny from a nine year old!!! She loves working with Target, so hopefully this will work out!

Sienna is anxiously awaiting her first birthday here on July 20th!!!! It's hard to believe our girl is going to be 5! She picked out the perfect dress, and we are so excited to make it a very special day for her!!!!! She gets to meet her "Grandpa YeYe" in a few days!!! This is my Dad, and we are so excited for them to meet! Sienna has already told me she is going to teach her "YeYe" to eat with chopsticks. I can't wait for that!

On July 31st we will be celebrating #4 for Ruby! Tonight when I was putting the girls to bed, Ruby said to me..... "I just want to be little Mama!" Thankfully, she will always be my baby!

I hope you are enjoying your summer days!!

I can't believe that Sienna is going to be 5, let alone that Ruby is almost turning 4. What a sweet post. Yes, she will always be your baby!
Ainsley, good luck with your Target gig, we are rooting for you! Your modeling days are far from over beautiful girl (:

I can't believe Sienna is already going to be five. That is so exciting! Will she go to Kindergarten in the fall or will you wait it out?
Good luck with Target Ainsley!
