Livi lost a tooth

So, I picked Livi up from school on Friday and she comes running out yelling, "Mom, I have a loose tooth." Sure enough, I looked in that little mouth of hers and a new tooth was already popping out. Imagine our surprise when she woke up Saturday morning, wiggled her tooth and the darn thing came out! Pictures to follow soon!

Liv's first sleep over

Tonight is Liv's first sleep over. Yep, on a school night. Her best friend Lucy is staying with us. Lucy's brother H is a hockey stud and has hockey practice from 7-8 which would make them late for school. Lucy did not want to miss a second of school, so her mom asked if Lucy could come over at 6am. We then decided thta it was high time for a sleep over. Lucy could sleep in instead of getting up at 5:15 to get here by 6am. Liv and Lucy have been fast friends since they were 2. Hard to believe that they will both be 6 next month. We are lucky that lucy and her parents are moving into our neighborhood shortly!

Paddleboarding- Summer 2011

Just a few photos of our first time paddle boarding this summer. All four of us are hooked on it! Jason and I are planning on buying a paddle board and maybe a kayak next year.

Fall soccer photos

We were very proud of both girls this fall. Georgie played on her first all girls team. Livi played on the team she played on in the spring. It was great fun to watch Livi's team come together and learn how to play together.

Date night

Last night, each kid had a date night with a parent. Jason got Georgie and I got Livi. Georgie got Jason because she has an hour+ a day with mom. Livi just needed some mommy time.

Initially, Georgie woke up from her nap and just wanted to watch the UNC vs. Michigan State game with daddy. Then she suggested they order Chinese food. Too funny. Jason ended up taking her to Lonestar steakhouse for a steak, which was her second suggestion.

Livi and I went to Denny's for dinner, her choice. She was the first person to try the sugar cookie pancakes on their new holiday menu. Typical Liv, we were there for well-over an hour. That girl is so European with her meals. She really takes her time and enjoys what she's eating. Sometimes it gets frustrating, but we encourage her to not feel rushed and enjoy her meals. After dinner, my girl and I headed over to Old Navy for some shopping. Liv really enjoys shopping and can browse for hours. Really. She can browse for hours. She ended up with a new fleece outfit. Poor girl did not find one dress that she liked. After Old Navy we headed over to Barnes & Noble where we ended up with one book. Finally, our night ended up with dessert at Whole Foods. Poor girl was so tired as it was after 9pm.

At this moment, we are watching our beloved Huskers play Penn State. I am off to show property in a few hours. Wish me well!

Summer 2011

Thought I'd post some photos of our summer adventures.

The girls spent a lot of time at the pool learning how to swim this summer.

Liv wouldn't even get her hair wet in May! She is a fish now!

The Last Day of Soccer

Today was the last day of the fall soccer season. It was a beautiful morning...until we got to the soccer fields. The wind picked up and it was pretty blustery. I was glad I ran back into the house to grab a sweatshirt. The crazy thing about today's soccer schedule is that both Liv and Gigi had games at the same time.Luckily, the girls were playing at the same location. There are three fields placed side by side at the park where the girls play. Each had a game on the ends of the field. Jason and I were prepared to run back and forth from the different soccer fields, but we weren't prepared for wanting to socialize with our other friend's whose boys were playing in the middle field. Too funny!

Anyhow, back to the girls. Liv scored a few goals today. Gigi came close, but no luck. I am pretty sure that both girls were running a bit slower today than usual. Jason made a huge breakfast of eggs, bacon and pancakes. I will post some photos soon once I figure out how to do it.
