Sophia was selected as one of the Water Carnival Junior Royalty finalist. We were surprised to say the least, but overwhelmingly proud of our little Sophia. Here we go again...

FAVORITE THINGS PARTY
I hosted a "Favorite Things"party at my house in May. It is always a fun event where girlfriends bring 3 of their favorite items and an appetizer to share. Here are a few of their favorite things...

MINNESOTA ZOO
We FINALLY made it to the Minnesota Zoo in May. We always want to visit in April to see the Farm Babies at the farm, but it always seems our schedule never allows for it. That's okay because we had a beautiful day at the zoo.
livia's favorite part of the zoo - the underwater feeding!
The man in the scuba suit could talk to the kids and answer questions. I foresee Livia doing something like this in her future for a career.
sophia's favorite part of the zoo - the camel ride!
awwww....baby camels!

LIVIA'S 10th BIRTHDAY
Livia celebrated her birthday with a weekend long celebration. First. we went out to eat at our favorite Mexican restaurant, Carlitos with Grandma Pam and Grandpa Mike. Next, we headed to the Mall of America to spend the day with friends. Lastly, we spent Livia's actual birthday together as a family.

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL
one perk of my job was being able to walk sophia to the bus stop most mornings. She and 2 other teacher's daughters caught a bus from Park Elementary that took them to West Elementary. I am going to miss our walks (okay, maybe not so much in the middle of winter), but, I am going to miss our walks together (Gina, Sophia, and Kyleigh).
i called them the "4 musketeers" (sam, claire, livia, and madelyn).
4th grade creates t-shirts for the last day of school.

JOYFUL NOISE FEST
We celebrated Saturday with the Sederholm Family. The weather was beautiful this year (last year it rained the entire time!). The girls love spending time with Kaytlin and Elana, as well as partaking in all the inflatables and fabulous music! Thanks, Sederholm Family!
