Girls Weekend

The last official weekend of summer (although we will celebrate summer for days to come), we packed up and headed to the Davis' lakehouse for some wildlife, night swimming, storm watching and water play.  The smiles speak for themselves!













 They may have been tired on the way home :) 
What a wonderful weekend spending time with the girls!

Celebrating all day

After our pancake breakfast, we headed to the girls new fav... Dave and Busters... to play some games.
Then to nails with our birthday buddy, THEN BENIHANA, the birthday paradise!!
Was so fun to watch the kids wide eyed as they flung food into their mouth and lit our cooking space up in flames.  Then they capped off this perfect day with a dance performance and sleepover. It doesn't get much better.  Happy birthday Mollie Lou :)










Mollie is NINE!

My original sidekick is one year away from double digits!  
This beauty has turned into such a cool young lady, I thought it would be fun to interview her and document Mollie going into her tenth year.  Mol, I will never forget the best day EVER when you came into this world on 8/9/08... and now, in 2017, we couldn't be more proud of your spirit, your activism, your curiosity, kindness, imagination and desire to learn and understand the world.  You blow us away every day and we love you to pieces!  



Hope you had a memorable year... these were some of my fav memories - had lots of sleepovers, skied in Vermont and Colorado, snorkeled  and surfed in Hawaii, boogey boarded, caught fireflies in Wisconsin, went to a play with mom, rode the top drive at the ranch, brought your first friend to the lake, got a ribbon in your first academic competition, loved tennis and soccer and basketball and volleyball.

A cool summer day

Another day under 90... we will be outside ALL day!
Couldn't be happier.  A quiet, neighborhood day, just me and my girls!
