Our New Room

The girls are now sharing a room which means a bunkbed! Woo hoo. ( Except no one will sleep on the top bunk.)  I finally gave them a girly room and they seem to like it.  I  was able to paint and decorate while they were at their grandparent's house.  It was fun to do and I think it turned out pretty cute.

Baby Cass Photoshoot!

Baby #3 is weighing in at 9 ounces, it is 18 weeks and 4 days according to this ultrasound.  Therefore moving the due date to December 21st.  I will take as many days early as this baby will give me.  I would feel horrible for the girls if I had to spend Christmas in the hospital.

No, we didn't find out the gender.  The lady told us to look away when she looking near that area and I peeked, still no idea. The first 2 pictures the baby has it's hand near it's mouth, no thumb sucking with this one that we saw.  Both girls were doing that in their ultrasounds.  The girls stayed home with a sitter when we were having this done, I was glad because I forgot how much the baby looks like an alien in these pictures when it looks straight at you.  I am almost half way there, I think I will survive.  

4th of July

 Well we survived our first 4th here.  It was a scorcher but they have a nice celebration here in town.  Not too different from home.  There aren't any rides to speak of here, just several bouncy house type things.  The fireworks display was amazing though.  The girls had a blast at the parade even in the heat.  We took a cooler and it worked out nicely as they had a place to sit, we had cold water, and they were probably the only kids who made it home with candy that hadn't completely melted. Miranda and Morgan loved the fireworks they cheered and jumped around most of the time.  Miranda got so excited she jumped right out of her skirt!  I hope everyone had a great Independence Day as well.

Father's Day Weekend in the Twin Cities

We had a great weekend in the Twin Cities.  We went to the Mall of America on Saturday where we rode some rides and visited the Sea Life Aquarium.  Our hotel had a great pool for the girls and we spent some time there on Saturday evening and Sunday morning.  Then we went to the Twins game.  That was interesting... we got there very early luckily so we had some time to soak in the atmosphere because the second the game started it started raining.  We left in the 4th inning.  The game ended up being delayed and then went into 15 innings, I am so glad we didn't stay!

Nickelodeon Universe at the Mall of America

The girls had a great time riding rides at the Mall of America.  They had a ton of rides for the little ones.  Mom and Dad got to ride most of those as well because Miranda was too small to go without us. We had a lot of fun!

Gymnastics Show

This is the dancing portion of the gymnastics show.  It was all very cute. 

Featuring.... Morgan

Morgan had a great year at the YMCA, she just finished her first year of preschool and loved every minute of it.  She made some great friends.  She has a little crush on Jacob, and as you can see from both of their faces it may be mutual.  Watch out Daddy!  She takes after her mom, the only time she got in trouble the entire school year was for hitting Jacob over the head with an pan, thatta girl, you show him who is boss!

Morgan also participated in gymnastics this year.  She has a show where she got to dance and show off her gymnastics abilities.  It was very cute.  She loves the social life of it all.
