A couple of weeks ago I went to Las Vegas for a conference and met Elvis and won an Amazon Echo (besides learning some cool things for work). Then two friends met me in Vegas for a fun-filled weekend. The three of us have been going on girls trips (the first one also to Vegas) since 1999! We saw a show, laid by the pool, gambled, ate great food, and yes - went on a helicopter ride!<br />

This weekend we went on our second annual Fall trip to the North Shore. We love to explore so this time we stayed at a new place - Cove Point Lodge, in Beaver Bay. We left Thursday morning and anticipated being in Duluth by at least noon. About 30 minutes into our trip we got a flat tire so made a pit stop at Tires Plus where we ended up getting two new tires. While we waited we stopped at Once Upon a Child and found some good deals and came up with Hadley's Halloween costume concept (and bought the accessories). Ninety minutes later, our original plan out the window, we made our way north - stopping at Banning State Park for a picnic in the woods. Next we stopped at Hawks Ridge in Duluth. We didn't see that many birds (although the bird enthusiasts were excited looking through their huge lenses) we saw a great view of the city and Lake Superior. Late that afternoon we pulled into the Lodge, went swimming, and out to dinner.<br />

Friday we bundled up and went to a scenic point at Palisades Head, then did a two mile hike in Tettegouche State Park. I love hiking and I had to talk the kiddos into two miles. I have a plan for next year and am aiming for a 5 mile trek. Although everyone had their moments on the hike - the surroundings were so beautiful - it was worth it. That afternoon we stopped at a little Agate Museum where Miles was just fascinated with agates. That evening we swam in the pool, ate at the nicest place (it was really good) in Beaver Bay - The Lemon Wolf, and listened to a local Minnetonka author read her book "I Love You To Pieces" and other selections at a children's storytime at the lodge. Miles and Hadley absolutely loved meeting Pamma the author and couldn't wait to say good morning to her at breakfast the next day.<br />

Saturday we packed up, hiked to the point at Cove Point Lodge, went to see the falls at Gooseberry Falls and stopped in Two Harbors to search for agates (Miles and I each got a pocketful that Miles says we need to do "diagnostics" on to find out if they are real agates. He also wants to buy a tool to polish his rocks.) Then we drove to Duluth. In Duluth we went to Bent Paddle Brewery (crazy enough it's a family friendly place), checked into our hotel in Canal Park, went swimming, and had dinner at the Duluth Grill (featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives).<br />

This morning after breakfast we explored Canal Park, saw the lift bridge rise (on this trip we saw three big, 1000 foot ships), and went swimming one last time. When I asked the kids their favorite parts of the trip they said playing games (we also played Trouble) and going swimming. My favorite parts (besides everything) were spending time together as a family in nature.<br />

Our lives our changing and time seems to be moving so quickly but we're doing what we can to enjoy every moment. Sometimes we do better than others - but we always try our best. Here are the literal snapshots into the last few weeks of our lives.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I asked this girl to set the table. She set a spot for herself - a little shrine with a candle, music, and a picture of our family. She was so happy just sitting in the little space she made for herself. I love this girls spirit. <br />She reminds me to dance more and worry less and focus on love and what's most important in life.</td></tr>

My whole family was there and we started by celebrating Kennedy's 3 year birthday at lunch. Miles' party started after lunch. We did a Perler bead craft, painted faces, and opened presents. Miles picked his party theme - a puppy party. He also chose the dinner menu - hot dogs, brats, broccoli salad, melon, and pumpkin pie. He got lots of legos (he completed all 3 sets already - he's a little obsessed) and a water slide.<br />

Thursday night we went to my department's summer family picnic - there were bounce houses, food trucks, and the kids' favorite - an ice cream truck.<br />

We drove up to the cabin on Friday morning just in time to enjoy a lunch of fresh BLT sandwiches on the deck. It was hot - in the high 80s so we had the deck fan blowing on us full blast. After a quick rest time we drove to Alexandria for a day trip adventure. We said "hi" to Big Ole, toured the Runestone Museum, explored main street - stopping at the Sugar Shack candy store and a book store, drove out to Carlos Creek Winery (lovely grounds, large selection of wines) where we had a glass of wine, bought a bottle of sauvignon blanc and enjoyed live music. The musician was flattered that the kids were dancing and played Bob Marley's "3 Little Birds" just for them. We then went to Raaper's Ale House for dinner.<br />
<br />
Saturday was the perfect summer day. We relaxed with coffee and bagels and then headed out for a walk and pontoon ride. We swam in the middle of the lake to cool off. After lunch and rest time we went for another pontoon ride and swim, played on the beach, and grilled dinner. The evening actually cooled down enough to have a nice fire by the lake and roast marshmallows. After washing the kids feet and reading books - the kids fell right asleep. It was a beautiful and relaxing day.<br />

Miles has grown before our eyes. He is independent and so smart yet still loves to be cuddled. Since last year he's grown 3 inches and gained 5 pounds. I joke with him that he'll soon be carrying his mama around! We love this boy so much. Celebrations will continue at the beginning of August with a family birthday party.Mike and Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00787336566890704965noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160854316046712961.post-10004068459646946342015-07-05T21:10:00.000-05:002015-07-05T21:10:12.924-05:004th of July - Loving SummerWe are having the best summer!<br />

In the summer we have the opposite problem - there are so many fun things to do that by the end of the weekends we fall in bed exhausted. Except wait - that's when work starts.<br />
<br />
We went to the cabin the previous two weekends and this weekend enjoyed a busy time and beautiful weather in town.<br />

I started this blog before Miles was even born and now we not only visited his future kindergarten - we celebrated his pre-kindergarten graduation. May has been a good month for us - we have a lot to celebrate and be thankful for.<br />
<br />
The morning of May 19 we celebrated with Hadley as she completed her first year of preschool at Little Saints Preschool at St. Huberts. She loved going two mornings a week and thrived with all of the social activities and learning. At the party she smiled and performed three songs, including "This Little Light of Mine," received a certificate and we celebrated with an ice cream sundae bar.<br />

Then that afternoon we celebrated Miles' pre-kindergarten graduation. He's been going to Little Saints for three years. I was preparing myself all week for the bittersweet feelings I'd have watching my little man (dressed in converse sneakers, jeans, and a tie - he's such a cutie!) graduate from pre-school. After visiting his new kindergarten a few weeks ago I'm so confident that he'll do well and is more than ready- it's just hard to believe my baby is ready for this next step. At the celebration, his class processed in, sang three songs, and also had a graduation ceremony and slide show. (Yes, I was choked up.) As part of the slide show the teachers asked the kids on video what they want to be when they grow up. Miles said a manager (he still thinks he wants to work with me someday).<br />

Today was Hadley's first dance recital. She performed a tap number to "A Your Adorable." We had her dress rehearsal Tuesday night at the Chanhassen High School auditorium and it was very hectic backstage with so many dancers and moms. Hadley didn't want me to leave her and was nervous. Thankfully her teacher took her and as I sat down in the front row I prayed that she would at least come out on stage - hopefully not bawling. When it was her class's time to rehearse she was a little hesitant but marched right out there with a smile on her face. I was thrilled! After her rehearsal we stayed and watched some of the other girls rehearse and Hadley loved watching the other dances. I really hope that she grows to love and appreciate dance as much as I did.<br />
<br />
Today was the real deal and she shined on stage. She smiled and did "big arms" and was just so good. I cried through the whole thing. I think I was more nervous than Hadley! I'm actually tearing up writing this - I just loved watching her dance.<br />

Although they live far away and we only get to see them a couple of times a year - it's always nice when the Grays come to visit. We always tell Miles and Hadley how lucky they are to have 5 grandparents. Hadley was referring to the Grays as "the grandma and grandpa that moved in." The kids had a great week with them - helping grandpa with projects like fixing the Ford and building a bean bag toss game and going for walks with grandma, playing games, and reading stories. They are traveling tomorrow. We wish them a safe trip and we'll miss them until we see them again at Christmas.<br />

<br>
The kids and I spent Monday morning at the Arboretum and enjoyed the tulips in bloom (they plant over 38,000 tulips each year). Just like mama - the kids each brought their cameras. So we all snapped away at the lovely flowers and each other.<br>

Saturday morning was the kids' last swimming lesson for the season. Although Hadley is a little fish - she wasn't enjoying lessons this year and spent the last few times crying and not participating. She did actually get in the water this week and swam a little. I think she'd rather do her own thing. Plus - she was the only girl in a class full of really wild boys.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br></div>
Miles also doesn't particularly love swimming lessons but each week he tried his best (and tried his best not to get his hair wet) and that's all we can ask. He rarely will put his face in the water but does everything else willingly and well - and he passed this level. Level two - here we come next year!<br>

After swimming lessons we did a lot of party preparation including cooking and decorating to get ready for Hadley's 4th birthday party that afternoon. She requested a rock princess party this year so all of the decorations were pink and black. Per Hadley - on the menu was: cheese pizza, veggies and dip, honey dew and grapes, and chocolate caramel cake with whipped cream.<br>
<br>
It was a great party because both sets of grandparents were there along with Rachel's family and Matt's family - 16 of us in total!<br>
<br>
She got lots of lovely gifts including: a baby doll (named Rylan which she hasn't put down since the party), doll clothes, a bubble blower, jewelery, a purse, a dress, a playhouse, and Duplos blocks.<br>

Our third celebration of the weekend was today for Mother's Day. Sometimes I have to laugh (or roll my eyes at the differences between the stereotypes of the idyllic Mother's Day versus reality.<br>
<br>
Idyllic: mom sleeps in<br>
Reality: the kids crawl in bed between 6-6:30 and snuggle with me in between - one is kicking my back and the other is spooned against me (wouldn't trade it)<br>
<br>
Idyllic: mom is served breakfast in bed with flowers<br>
Reality: I'm greeted with pleas of "I'm hungry" every morning - no matter what the holiday<br>
<br>
Idyllic: dad secretly shops for jewelry that he wraps from each of the kids<br>
Reality: dad buys mom a wireless speaker (while not the quintessential Mother's Day gift I'm sure the kids and I will be having lots of impromptu dance parties around the house)<br>
<br>
Idyllic: we all go to a lovely brunch where the adults get to chat and the children eat nicely<br>
Reality: our table for 16 is not ready when we arrive despite several calls ahead of time confirming our reservation, the kids are either wild or get incredibly mad every time the servers pass our table with food that is not ours because they are so hungry, and the adults spend more time wrangling children rather than having deep, enjoyable conversations.<br>
<br>
Today reminded me of the lesson I learn everyday about motherhood - sometimes you just have to roll with things, have an attitude of gratitude, and when things don't go exactly the way I want them to - I have another chance to start over tomorrow. When I looked around the table at brunch today - even amongst the craziness - I'm surrounded by my most favorite people in the world and I wouldn't trade it. This morning in church my thoughts and heart went out to all of the mom's who have lost children or are unable to have their own along with everyone who has lost their own mom. At the end of the day - I'm truly blessed.<br>
<br>
Thanks to my own mom who often was home alone with three probably very wild, crazy, and endlessly needy children - you must have had a lot of patience. Now that I'm a dance mom - thanks too for years and years of being my dance mom and driving me 5-6 days a week to classes and shelling out a lot on costumes.<br>
<br>
Thanks to Mike's mom, Mariann, for raising a loving, caring, and family-oriented son.<br>
<br>
Happy Mother's Day to all of my the women in my life - I couldn't do it without you.<br>

Time is going by so quickly watching our little people grow up! Hadley just completed her pre-school screening and passed with flying colors. Kindergarten 2016-2017 here she comes! Miles in the meantime is more than ready to start Kindergarten next year and in a couple of weeks we're ramping up to Kindergarten next fall with a sneak-peek at Kindergarten at Chanhassen Elementary.<br />
<br />
I haven't been blogging as much as I used to because honestly - I've been doing this for six years. When I started I was pregnant with Miles (read - no kids and lots of free time). As each year passes I have less time to devote to this hobby that I used to really enjoy. Now I mainly enjoy recording what's happening in our lives and I love looking back at the pictures. We've been preparing for Hadley's 4th birthday for a few weeks now (4 is a really big deal - just ask Hadley). Looking back at her 1st-3rd birthdays brings back so many good memories (and I can't believe she had so little hair for so long!).<br />
<br />
In funny Hadley news - she's a little actress although she doesn't even want to entertain the idea of being in show business. She actually can cry on demand now - for real. She say, "I'm going to make myself cry" and then she'll really go to a sad place and start sobbing. She also does this with being happy or excited - she really knows how to turn it on.<br />
<br />
She also calls McDonald's - Old McDonald's and when we see one while driving she'll pipe up from the back and ask, "mom, can we go to Old McDonald's for dinner?"<br />
<br />
Today I asked her to help me try on a few things at Target so she came into the dressing room and told me that if she says "good" that means she likes what I'm wearing. If she says "disgusting" that means she doesn't like it. A lot of what I tried on today was really disgusting. She however looked in the mirror and admired her sandals and outfit and announced that she was looking good.<br />
<br />
She's also going through a phase where she doesn't really want to be away from me and Mike so she has separation anxiety during dance and swimming lessons. I know it's just a phase....<br />

We had the beach to ourselves and loved every moment with the sun on our faces, our tootsies in the sand, and the sparkling blue water stretching in front of us.</p>

On Monday I took the kids to Williston Fitness Center in Minnetonka where we played in an indoor splash pad and climbed in a two-story tree house for over 3 hours. It was so much fun that we all came home and napped that afternoon.<br />
<br />
On Friday, Mike had a rare day off so we took a day trip in our own city - venturing all the way to St. Paul. We started at the Children's Museum, then had lunch at the Blue Door Pub, then went to the Como Zoo and Conservatory. It was a really fun adventure and again - by the end of the day we were all tired.<br />
<br />
Keeping with the festive theme we had our own Easter egg hunt in the yard on Saturday. The kids loved hunting under leaves and shrubs to find their treasures. Then we colored Easter eggs that evening.<br />
<br />
Today the Easter bunny visited our house and brought the kids candy and Play Mobile camping sets, we hosted my parents for breakfast, went to church, and then to a party for lunch and another family party for dinner. I'm exhausted just typing this! I love to be busy having fun with my family - I hope that we're building some great memories for the kids. I know that I'll remember these special times with my favorite people. What a joy-filled week!<br />

I think the mid-winter blues are hitting all of us. While we still try to have a lot of fun - being stuck indoors for hours with a three and five year old is enough to test anyone's patience. In full disclosure - our patience has been pushed to the limits this weekend! There actually is a movement right now - happening to the millions of mommy bloggers out there - that represents the sometimes not so sunny side of parenting. Posting smiling, happy photos of our kiddos is fine. Yes, sometimes we actually do have fun and smile together. My usual cheery blogs are a true representation... of part of our lives. The other part that doesn't photograph quiet so well is the constant whining, not listening, being slow when we need to be somewhere quickly, being mean to the other sibling, always making a HUGE mess at every meal, and more often than not forgetting the manners we seem to talk endlessly about everyday. Mike and I ask ourselves - what are we doing wrong? What should we do? This is when the old adage - there is no parenting instruction manual comes into play. The kids are now in bed. We take a deep breath. Tomorrow is a new day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With all of that said - I like dwelling on the sunny, happy moments. I often hope that these are the times my kiddos will remember when they are older - not the ones where we are all yelling at each other, freaking out, and crying. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Last weekend I put some good mojo into the universe - we desperately needed some distraction from the hum-drum of winter life. Friday morning we went to Gleason's Gymnastics with the Sievers where the kids swung from rings, dove into a foam pit, jumped on several trampolines, and got lots of good pent-up winter energy out. Friday night we had dinner at the Carlson's - it's always so fun to sit and chat with other adults while the kids play contentedly with new-to-them toys. Thank you for a fun dinner and delicious cake Nancy and Jon! Late Friday night Matt and his boys came to stay with us for the weekend. Saturday we all went to swimming lessons, then to Target and then bowling with the Sievers. Saturday night the cousins ran around here like crazy and we enjoyed a summer time meal - grilled burgers and potato salad. Sunday we said goodbye to the Nickolays and went ice skating. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The kids are improving each week at swimming lessons - Miles is actually starting to get more of his face wet and Hadley splashes like a little dolphin. They each also get more confident every time we hit the rink. Hopefully we'll be able to go skating a few more times this winter. With no snow we're a little sad we haven't gone sledding yet or been able to build a snow fort. Sigh - in probably typical Minnesotan fashion - we complain when there is too much snow and we complain when there is not enough. </div>

Mike has recently done some of his computer magic and put all of our home movies in one place and made them easily accessible from all of our computers and TVs. It's been so fun watching the kids as babies and toddlers. We realized that since age 2 Miles hasn't really changed. His hair still sticks up in the back, he still has selective hearing (most notable when his parents are asking him to do something), he loves to pop-up on camera with a huge smile - even when he's not the primary one being video taped, and he still messes with his sister. Like most non-first born children - we have a lot of video of Hadley but she's not a solo star like Miles was - her brother is always in the background and there are a few less of her. She still was an absolute doll as a baby and some of her antics on camera made us laugh out loud. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The kids are sleeping now, Mike's heading for the outside fridge to get a beer, and I'm ready for a glass of wine. We're going to watch Katy Perry perform the halftime show during the Superbowl (thank goodness for DVR). Tomorrow's a new day - have a great week everyone!</div>

We stayed in town and had both lunch and dinner at my aunt Nancy's house. The kids ran around all day playing with their cousins and extended family, we ate a lot of delicious food including kolacky's (the kids each ate 3!), and I even got a walk in although the weather was frigid. I was wistfully thinking about Thanksgivings in the past where we played football outside and went for long walks. Alas, winter came early and has been here to stay.<br />

Since the kids are a little older now I'm realizing that, although convenient and cost effective, our annual trip to the Costco parking lot to pick a tree (based on nothing really since they are all frozen and wrapped up) isn't very picturesque. One of these years we'll go to a farm and cut down our own so the kids know that Christmas trees come from somewhere other then a semi-truck in a parking lot. We took the requisite picture though and when we got home were again pleasantly surprised that we got another beautiful fraser fir.<br />

Miles is the star of the week at school and had to complete a school project all about himself. He had to draw or include a picture of himself and he wanted to be sure he included Ruby. Here are the answers he wrote on his poster:<br />

<li>Age: 5</li>
<li>Favorite animal: yellow labs</li>
<li>Favorite food: hot dogs</li>
<li>Favorite color: blue</li>
<li>Favorite place: a bakery (even though I pointed out he really hasn't ever been to a real bakery...)</li>
<li>When I grow up I want to be a..... jaguar.</li>
<li>My favorite thing to do is... pet Ruby.</li>
<li>If I had one wish, I would wish for... another dog.</li>

I haven't been taking a lot of pictures lately - but not to worry - we're coming into one of my favorite times of the year where a lot of photos will be snapped. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! May you take a few moments to reflect on everything you're thankful for. I've been focusing on having an attitude of gratitude everyday - life always seems better through this lens.Mike and Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00787336566890704965noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160854316046712961.post-26866438488632260102014-11-09T19:56:00.000-06:002014-11-09T20:00:28.383-06:00This and ThatUnexpectedly, I had a stay-cation this week and have been off of work since Wednesday so have spent a lot of time with the kiddos. I got a lot of things done - like taking Christmas pictures of the kids, ordering Christmas cards, baking bread, cleaning out the playroom, etc. and had a lot of down time with Miles and Hadley - which felt very relaxed.<br />
<br />
Besides projects around the house and kiddo time - Mike got out for some beer brewing (and drinking) with friends and I sailed high on a flying trapeze (for the 2nd time) with a friend at <a href="http://twincitiestrapeze.com/" target="_blank">Twin Cities Trapeze</a>.<br />
