Cookie Making Time

The girls wanted to make cookies. Abbey wanted to make Peanut Butter cookies and Ashley wanted Chocolate Chip cookies. They love to bake and enjoy learning how to bake.

Princess Dance Camp

The girls particpated in a Princess Dance Camp this summer. THEY LOVED IT! They dance around the house, singing and twirling and this was a great way for them to see if they wanted to be in dance. Of course, they want to be in dance.....

Bike Ride on the St. Croix

The girls wanted to ride their bikes down by the St. Croix so we did. They had fun riding down the long road and then going down to the beach looking for shells. They love their bike helmets.

Lake Elmo Beach

One of the few days we spent this year at Lake Elmo. The weather was much cooler this summer and we only made it to the beach a few times.

Renaissance Fest 2009

We went to the Renaissance Fest this year with our friends Shane and Chris and their girls Emily and Beth.
We had a great time walking around, watching the shows, enjoying the sights and sounds. The girls were able to ride on an elephant and ponies. They also were able to make up their own magical wands. The girls would love to go back.

Here is the first day of school. The girls were so excited to be at school and love their teachers. We are so thankful and glad that they enjoy it. They couldn't wait to get on the bus. Mommy cried most of the first day.

Shannon built bunk beds for the girls. They are done and the girls are sleeping in them tonight for the first time. They were so excited. I am very proud of the work that he did.
