You're little for a little while...
I am listening to this song this morning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-Npu_ly3ZM It makes me think of Tyler and how amazed he is with life right now. Every thing we see and do is so exciting and new to him. It is so much fun to be a parent to that. I can't tell you how many times a day I hear "Look Mommy!" as he points out a new discovery or one of his favorite things. And two steps behind him is always his baby sister. Today I have this feeling that their babyhood and "littleness" is fleeting. I sort of want to stop time today- savor this moment.

Summer has arrived!
It is hotter than blazes here in MN. Who new that this frozen tundra could get so hot so fast. I think it is really July. The kids and I are anxiously waiting for the neighborhood pool to open. We got the sprinker out yesterday. Tyler loved it. Allie did not care for it one bit. She went in once and said "Cold, brrr." Ha! She did like the fudge popsicles we had though. Here are a few pics.
Happy Birthday to me!
I was a little bit dreading this birthday. I don't know why- everyone says turning 30 is great. I just wasn't feeling the love. However, Chris and my parents turned it into one of the best birthdays ever! I wish I could post pics but we forgot our camera. I know my father in law took some so I have to wait until he gets here this weekend and beg some off of him.
We drove down to Kansas on Thursday. The kiddos were really great the whole ride. We had to stop at few of Chris' dealers in Iowa. I bribed them with McDonald's ice cream and movies. When we got to my inlaws, we had a nice dinner out and cake at their place. YUM! If you know me, you know cake is very important to me. We made it down to Wichita the next day and I spent a full afternoon of shopping with just my mom. We don't get to spend much one on one time together. We visited a few places that aren't great to take kids (Lucindas and Aspen Boutique).
On Saturday I was told to be ready at 10 and that was it! I tried my best to get my days schedule but no one was budging. I spent the morning at Healing Waters getting a nice massage. Heaven! I then got a manicure and pedicure. At this point, I think it was the longest I had been away from Allie in a year. My brother picked me up and we went to lunch at Mike's Wine Dive. So yummy! I had their steak salad and really it couldn't have been yummier. I spent the rest of the afternoon with my bro just hanging out.
Chris picked me up for what I thought was dinner. We headed to Bonefish Grill for drinks. I had their pomegrante martini and it was delish! I need to learn to make those myself. To my surprise, our good friends Scott and Erin met us there. It was so nice of them to come down for my birthday! After drinks, we headed to my parents where a surprise party was waiting for me! Thanks everyone for coming. I had the BEST time. We don't always get to see everyone when we are in town so this was a great way to do it.
I am looking forward to my 30's. Who knows what it will bring or what new states we will end up in?
