Reading Time!

Grandpa Lenny came over a couple weeks ago and I had to get some shots of the sweet bedtime stories he was reading the girls.  I love these moments.

She's Here - Baby Sawyer Arrives!

We are so excited that Baby Sawyer Jeanne Davis has arrived!  She was born on 3/18/15 at 11:27 a.m., weighing 8 lbs. 13 1/2 ozs and 21 inches long.  She is beautiful and has the most pinchable cheeks and lots of dark hair.  She's perfect in every way and we couldn't be happier for Rusty and Tamara on the birth of their daughter.  We headed over to HCMC last night to be able to snuggle our new niece for the first time.  The girls were a little hesitant around her but gave her a kiss before we left.  I could have spent hours holding her as she's such a content and sweet little girl.  Tamara had quite the induction before she came, so hopefully her and Rusty are getting lots of sleep now that their little angel is here.

Proud parents!

BFF's!

Stoli and Belle have become BFF's in the past couple of months.  I had to get a picture of them snuggling since most of the time it's Belle trying to chase Stoli which is so funny.

Date Night - MN Swarm

I had received Securian suite tickets to see the MN Swarm lacrosse team through work, so Lance and I had a date night and checked them out.  I have to say it was one of the coolest sports events I have gone to.  The energy of the crowd was awesome and even though all the seats weren't filled, the seats that were had true fans in them.  It was obvious that the people that come to the matches are completely into this team and we loved being a part of it. 

Welcome Back!

 Jason vacationed in Hawaii again this year and came back with some gifts for the girls.  This time they received beautiful jewelry.  A sea turtle necklace and earrings.  Bailee had to dress hers up a little more than Aftin. 

Birthday Party Time - Carter turns 5!

The girls joined in celebrating their friend Carter's fifth birthday.  It was a MN Wild theme and the girls got to bounce in the bounce houses and then made ice cream sundaes.  It was such a great birthday party!

Bailee was sitting next to her friend Cami, who she met at a recent Tiger party.

Aftin with her friend Kendall.  Adorable girls!

Date Night!

Lance and I got a date night last weekend and got dinner at Luna Rossa before heading over to see Rusty and Tamara.  They are still patiently waiting for little Miss Sawyer to arrive, so we hung out for a little while before heading back home.  It was nice and relaxing and the girls had a blast with Nana and Papa at the cabin so it was a win, win.

We dress to impress on date night apparently.

Gymnastics Time!

The girls started gymnastics through Community Ed last week and absolutely love it!  Their coach Mr. Jon is so great with the kids and they all think he's awesome.  I am excited to see how much they learn by taking these classes.  Of course they already found a new best friend in the class named Lauren.  How easy it is at 5 to make new friends.

This is the best shot I could get of the girls in their leotards.  They kept trying to pose, but it wasn't really working for them.

Pure joy!

Mr. Jon was having them eat like a bird out of his hand.

Birthday Time - Maddyx Turns 5!

We celebrated Maddyx's fifth birthday a couple weeks back and the girls loved spending time with all their friends and family.  It's crazy to see how all these now 5 year olds have grown up so fast!

 

Here are the 5 year olds (Jackson will be soon) together!

Here is a pic back in the day of all (minus Jackson)

 

Little Laken is adorable and I loved her shoes because they squeeked when she walked.

Grandma Jeanne always does amazing birthday cakes.  This is no exception.

 

Play Date Time!

The girls had a play date with Molly and Evan on Saturday after we came back from the Dells.  We met up at the Giggle Factory and the kids ran around until they were tired and were hungry for lunch.  We then headed over to Subway for the kids to hang out a little longer.  The girls had a blast with their friends.

Vacation Time! WI Dells - Great Wolf

We went to WI Dells with the McNamara family for a short, Team McNelson vacation this last week.  We stayed at the Great Wolf resort and had a condo which was perfect for our two families to stay in.  The girls and boys had so much fun in the waterparks and game room.  The girls were big enough to go on every slide and we were so proud of how brave they were.  They were exhausted by the end of the trip and that may have been due to the 500 trips down the magic carpet ride or for Tommy the smaller green slide.  We can't wait to do it again!

 

What our mornings looked like.

What a sweet face!
