joyful noise...

we attended the "joyful noise" family fest in blaine yesterday (coutesy of the sederholm family - thank you!). It was a HOT, but amazing day! There was so much to do and see. The girls did a great job, and the adults didn't do too bad either (we were getting tired of standing in lines at the end...along with the sweltering heat). Here are some pictures from our fabulous day with the Sederholm Family.

 kaytlin, livia, elana, and sophia ready for some fun on the inflatables

 kaytlin and sophia (sophia ended up LOVING this slide the best!)

we ended the day waiting and waiting and WAITING in line to go on the bungee jump. Livia was SO happy to do it! It was worth it...

silverlicious saturday...

 each girl received a necklace with their initial on it

 the treat boxes had the girls' names on it with this printed on the tag: "Sweetness comes from the inside. When you are sweet, the world and all the delicious things in it will be sweet too. With Love, Toothetina" this came from the Silverlicious book

 check out my seven balloon...all grown up!

 let's party!

 livia, claire, jillian, lexie, lydia, katelyn, and bryn

some fun outside before the party ended...it was a great birthDAY :)

"pre"school's out for summer...

we attended sophia's kids depot preschool program this morning. Sophia has been talking about her program for quite some time now, and she couldn't wait to have watermelon after the program! She and her classmates did a fabulous job singing and acting to the songs. It is hard to believe that in one years time, we will be celebrating her graduation from preschool...I don't even want to think about it! For now, PREschool's out for summer...

 so excited to start!

 singing and acting out her songs for daddy, mommy, livia, and all the other families...

 after receiving her certificate of completion

 all smiles with her preschool teacher, miss angela

 so happy to give her teacher, miss margo, a flower

 enjoying some refreshments after the program

 getting a family photo in her preschool room

i have to apologize because the new blogger has sent this post a little askew...the words are off and the pictures are from sunday to saturday. Hang in there, the pictures and story are worth it :)

 spending mother's day afternoon with the withers family...yummy cake!

 livia trying out the tilt a whirl for the first time...brave little girl!

 sophia trying out the swings for the second time...loved them so much she had to go on them again (without big sister)!

 riding on the pirate ship with daddy

 a little lunch after the zoo...before the rides!
