3 Years Old

WOW!!  Our little Ruby is growing up!  She is now considered one of the big kids at daycare.  She's going to Peggy's Mon-Thur and she will be attending the Preschool Place on Fridays with cousin Cooper!  She's pretty excited- has to bring a backpack and everything!!  Not sure if I'm ready to let the school year begin!  Can't believe Ruby is three and Maggie will be in kindergarten........where has the time gone?!? Will be posting more pics of the exciting first day soon!

Labor Day Weekend 2013

We had a great Labor Day weekend!  Saturday we spent the day out at Grandma and Grandpa Demullings swimming in the pool and enjoying a beautiful day outside!  The girls had fun playing with their cousins.  We got them out of the pool long enough to eat and then they were right back in the water!  I totally remember those days from when I was little!
Sunday we had some friends and their families over for a little BBQ.  We asked everyone at the last minute hoping that a few could come and surprisingly everyone could make it!  It was fun to get together with some friends we haven't seen for a while!  Above is a picture of all of the kids!  They are all growing up so fast! 
Monday we got ready for the week-  back at school for Mom and Maggie's going this year too!!!  In the afternoon we snuck away for a movie (Monsters Inc.) at the budget movie theater in Hopkins.  Ruby's first experience in the theater and she did great! 

Surf & Turf Duathlon 2013

Another great year for the Surf & Turf Duathlon at Lake Anne in Chanhassen!   2 1/2 mile paddle plus a 2 1/2 mile trail run is a great combo for a fun event!!  It was such a beautiful morning- we all hung around after the race.  The girls played in the water and Maggie practiced paddling a little too!  Below is a link to a short movie of the event.

Happy 3rd Birthday Ruby!!

Ruby had a great birthday!   It was a hot one-  upper 90'!  The kids stayed cool running through the sprinkler in the backyard and throwing water balloons at chuck!  Ruby enjoyed opening all of her presents so much!  She got a lot of cute clothes and decided to strip down and try on each outfit as she opened it up!  There was no stopping her!!  More pictures in picasa! 

Cabin Time 2013!

We had a good chunk of time at the cabin!  Chuck was able to take off a few days and we enjoyed some great family time around the fire, on the boat, and playing in the sand.  Lots more pictures in the picasa web album. 

4th of July = Fun with the cousins!

We had a great 4th of July weekend!  It started out on Thursday at Grandma and Grandpa Demullings.  Trent and Aimee and family came into town.  They got here just in time for the Cedar Lake pontoon parade on Gma and Gpa's pontoon.  We had fun in the lake for most of the day and then headed back to Gma and Gpas for some pool time.  Trent picked up fireworks (a very good show) for later that evening.  Chuck went to work on Friday, and then we headed up to the cabin for the weekend.  Got in lots of playing in the sand, good tubing behind the boat, an Elvis cruise on Gpa Souvignier's pontoon, and a few great bonfires.  All in all a awesome summer weekend and lots of fun time with the cousins!!  Everything I dream of in the middle of January! 

Home is where the heart is!

Here we are in our new home!!  We are settling in and enjoying a little more space to spread out!  Maggie and Ruby each have their own room and they are so excited to see a bunch of their toys that were in storage for the past month.  More pics to come in the picasa web album.
