Grandma Karen's Visit

Grandma Karen came to visit us last weekend.  The girls had so much fun showing her all of their tricks and toys, giving her smooches and playing.  Thanks for all your help, mom.  We love you!  Here are a TON of pictures from the weekend. 

We headed to the Farmer's Market on Sunday morning.

They loved this girly store we came across.  Purses and dress-up clothes and tiaras, OH MY!

My little fashionista.

Bye, Grandma Karen.  We miss you already!!!

Mermaid Singing

It's so much fun now that the girls are old enough to enjoy some of the classic Disney movies that I used to watch as a kid.  Right now they are completely in love with The Little Mermaid (one of my all time favorites!).  The first thing they request in the morning is "Mermaid! Mermaid!"  Yes, we've watched it about a trillion times in the past couple weeks now.  Time to expand our Disney movie collection. 

It's the cutest thing to see the girls singing along with the movie.  Caroline especially loves to sing along with Arial during one of her solo's.  Here are some vocal stylings by my little Liners:

Weekend Getaway to Minneapolis

Rob and I had a great weekend away visiting our good friends, The Wendels, in Minneapolis.  A huge thank you to Papa Richard & Grandma Linda for watching the girls while we were away. 

We kicked off the weekend with the Minnesota Twins game at their new stadium. 

Then, spent all of Saturday out on the boat enjoying the water and some wakeboarding. 

Our godson, Ben, is the sweetest most precious baby EVER!  Look at all that curly hair!

Thank you, Melissa & Jerry, for having us and for hosting a fun weekend!

Look what I have, Mama!

Here are my messy, shirtless loves after some play time in the water table. 

Look at that hair!

Last few days...

Just catching up from the last few days. 

My pretty girls in the car.  Liney is in the grey t-shirt, and Liv is in the red one. 

We spent Saturday with Aunt Kari & Cousin Katie. 

Hugs for Katie!

Kari is undergoing chemotherapy treatments every Thursday.  She's pretty drained on the weekends, but is hanging in there.  Keep the prayers coming!

Daddy & Liv

And what afternoon would be complete without a temper tantrum?

Liv LOVED Katie's dress up shoes... we might have to get her some.

Cheese-face Chatterboxes

These are the faces I get now when I ask them to smile for a picture:

"CHEEEEEESE!"

I tried to get a video of them singing some songs and counting, but they were pretty distracted that Dora Dora was on behind me.  So these will have to do for now:
