First 50, Get 50!

Yesterday my friend Amber(work Amber) and I headed over to the Mall of America to hit up the door buster sale that Old Navy was having. The first 50 customers in the door at each Old Navy store, got 50% off their entire purchase! With a lot of planning and strategies (which included checking out the inventory at the Eagan store, looking at the mall map to get our route, several calls to the store) we had a successful one hour shopping spree. We were number 1 &2 in the door, since we arrived at Mall of America at 8:00 and waited anxiously for the opening at 10:00. We both made a haul! As you can see in the picture below... these are the majority of my purchases... minus a few Christmas gifts not in the picture!

Swingin' at the Park!

We thought we better take one last trip to the park before it gets too chilly outside! Alaina loves to swing! I think the park will be even more fun next year when she can climb on everything.

Mr. & Mrs. Matt Wayne!

The grand finale wedding of the summer.... Matt and Erin were married this past weekend at the St. James Hotel in Red Wing. The wedding was beautiful, food amazing and of the course the band was awesome(Erin' s dad). This was the last of 7 this summer... what are we going to do now? Brian is very happy that none of these cut into his hunting season!... I'm sure that's what he will be doing every weekend! Alaina and I will probably be slaving away at home making soups, baking cookies and possibly doing a little shopping.. ; )

Congrats Matt & Erin!! Hope your having a great time in warm, sunny Mexico!

A Trip to the Apple Orchard!

Kristan and I decided to take Alaina and Madeline to the apple orchard on Friday to get apples and pumpkins! It was an okay trip... it was a little too chilly/windy... Alaina did great...even after she was smashed by a 9 year old boy jumping off a hay bail right on top of her!.. Mom was more upset than her.. of course! She didn't even shed a tear!.. See last picture below.. it was taken right after...I think she will enjoy it more next year when she can run around and not get hurt!

All I Want For My 6 Month Pics....

Are my two front teeth!! Yes, just in time for Alaina's six month pictures she got her two front, bottom teeth..(and yes both in one exciting week!) You can't see them in the pictures, but they are slowly coming up!! We had her 6 month pictures taken on Friday and they turned out great, she was sooo happy!!

New Toy Alert!

Alaina's friend Will, told Alaina about this awesome toy below... Alaina begged and begged for it...so here it is... The Little Superstar Sing Along Stage! Alaina and I both agree with Will and his mom... this toy is awesome and will keep her entertained for a while!
