Jayden's 6th Birthday Party!

Jayden had her birthday party this past weekend (even though her actual birthday isn't until Sept. 14th). I can't believe how much time flies and my little girl is 6 years old already! She is definitely growing up fast. We had a nice party with both of our families and friends, and she even got to have 2 friends sleepover after the party. They had a blast! She got a lot of nice presents, such as dress up clothes, jewelry making stuff, craft stuff, her own camera, baseball helmet, packer jersey and more! Here are some pictures from her party.

First Day of Kindergarten

Jayden had her 1st day of Kindergarten on Friday. She did great - no tears! She seemed pretty excited and happy when I picked her up after school....but didn't give me too many details. She keeps proudly telling everyone that she is in kindergarten now....I can't believe my baby is so grown up!

Grandpa Scott's Farm

A few weekends ago, we went to Grandpa Scott's farm and played with the animals. The kids absolutely love going there and this time we brought our neighbor kids, Chloe & Ian) too. They had a blast! There were bunnies, chickens, goats, kitties, pigs, cows, and minature ponies! Here are some pictures.

Milwaukee Zoo & Big Time Rush concert

Last weekend we took the kids down to Milwaukee to go to the Milwaukee Zoo and bring Jayden to the "Big Time Rush" concert (which was at the Milwaukee State Fair). We stayed with Corey's Aunt Bear and Lorraine (Corey's mom) also came down with us. It was a blast! The kids loved the zoo and Jayden was SO excited at the "Big Time Rush" concert. For those of you who don't know who this band is, they are a boy band that has their own TV show on Nickelodeon. She is in love with them! :) She had a permanent smile on her face the entire night. It was a long day for her - 6 hours walking around the Milwaukee Zoo and then we walked around the fair for a few hours before the concert started too. We didn't get back to Aunt Bear's house until after 10pm and she was exhausted! Luckily, Aunt Bear & Lorraine babysat the boys while we took Jayden to the concert. That made things much easier. :)

Here are some pictures from our weekend.

Castle Rock

We just got back from a week long vacation with my family in Castle Rock, WI. It's about 30 minutes away from WI Dells. We had a blast! We went to the swimming pool or beach almost every day and we had beautiful weather. It only rained one day, and so we decided to go to Knuckleheads, which is an indoor amusement park. There were tons of rides (go karts, roller coaster, etc. for the kids) and also a lot of arcade games. The kids could probably spend all day at the pool, if we let them. :) We got home on Friday morning and that afternoon we got our little pool and slip n' slide out for them to play in. I think they want to live in their swim suits!

The Fair

We brought the kids to the fair 2 weeks ago, and it rained almost the entire time! The kids didn't seem to care - they were having a blast! We went with my friend Courtney and her son, Carter, and my mom also brought Natalie & Addison along. Jayden, Natalie & Carter went on tons of rides, but the boys weren't too interested in them. They just cared about eating all the food! They had donuts, popcorn, corn dogs, cheese curds - pretty much all the fair food you can buy. :) They had a great time watching all the rides and also playing a few games. Here are some pictures of the kids.
