Our little dancers

We finally caught it on video - Tseganesh is such a little dancer but as soon as she sees the video camera she is more interested in that then dancing - so here are her little moves (Landry also appears for a little shake at the end)!!!

American Girl Store

For some birthday fun I took Kalley (aka Landry's best friend whom she adores - also a second cousin) and Landry to the American Girl Store at the Mall of America. Kalley turned 10 in August so for her birthday we gave her the choice of getting her doll's ears pierced or getting her hair done. We had a great time eating in the bistro, shopping and getting their ears pierced. Here are a few pictures from our fun day!

They even brought food for the dolls so Landry had a great time feeding her doll

Landry after she got to pick up her doll - so now they both have their ears pierced

When we got home we celebrated a little more with pizza and our traditional Wuollet cake

Landry and Jess

Happy Birthday Landry

Happy Birthday Landry!!! Here are a few pictures of her big day. Thank you to all of our friends who made it an extra special day for her!!!

I don't think a smile gets any bigger - she was so excited to open presents!

Enjoying her melting beads (thank you UPS man for delivering those on the day that I needed)

Labor Day Fun

These are some pictures from our Labor Day - we had our traditional Perkins breakfast and then we headed to the lake for some fun. It was a perfect day (maybe a little windy) but the kids got to spend a lot of time in the water on the tube and knee boarding. I didn't get pictures of knee boarding because I got a little nauseous when we were pulling the kids tubing. Tseganesh was able to get in the water a little too and then she settled in and took a nap. It was a great way to end the summer.

Just finished a wild time on the tube - thanks to Lenny (all arms attached)

Landry playing with the tube - we couldn't let her try it because someone forgot her life jacket

Our new boat driver

Man this life jacket is a drag - but I can still eat so all is good
