6 months old, a bike, and some fun :)

Zoey is officially 6 months old....wowie that went fast. She is so close to sitting on her own, and finally broke her 2 front lower teeth through too!

What is the cure for falling off your bike? naked swimming of course :)

I could not possibly love my girls one once more. I love watching the bond between them grow, and cannot believe how big my Zo pup is growing.

Exploring Interstate!

Friday night we headed up to Taylors Falls dinner with my Grandparents, Dad and sister, and the girls of course. And afterwards we decided to go "potholeing" through interstate park. ( there are pothole trails) We had a blast.

Reegan and "2 papas"

There were pot holes, I didn't take pictures of any. Too impressed by my family and the sunset I guess. Reegan told me tonight she wanted me to take her to see the rocks tomorrow. Yes, my dear, we'll be back :)

And Reegan decided to try her hand at video too.

DORA~

Tuesday we headed to the Mall of America for Toddler Tuesday. The theme was Dora dance/ballet. Mom was running on 2 hrs sleep, but I knew Reegan and Zoey would love it! We got there just shy of 10, and ended up being in line two spots away from our dear friend Clint Morelock and his kids Arabella and Colton. We enjoyed seeing them, having other kids to keep us occupied, and of course, the wonderful conversation :)

When we were getting close in line, she wasn't understanding that we all were waiting, and was pretty sure Dora was just there to see her. She kept yelling " Dora, I am here!" We took a minute prior to try some Ballet with the dancer while waiting for Dora to come back.

 1 hr later, Reegan finally got to meet Dora. We got up there and she decided she was shy and didn't want to give Dora a hug. So a high 5 it was!

Reegan Zoey and Mommmy meeting Dora 8-9-11

We then headed to cadilac ranch for lunch with the Morelocks, and everyone was in awe of the mechanical bull.........

A few laps around the mall and we were ready to head home.

On the way home we stopped by the gas station by the airport and watched Airplanes take off and land. Sure rocked her world! She enjoyed watching them up close, and hearing the noise. Such a fun day!! Even Zoey enjoyed herself. Such a wonderful day of FUN!

PIGTAILS!

Reegan and I have had a hair battle for as long as I can remember. Part of the problem is she was such a bald baby for so long, I didn't even need to buy a hair brush until 12 months, and really didn't need to brush it until 18 months. So brushing it is a challenge, let alone putting anything in it. I have tried, many times. Well this weekend she went up North for one night, came home with a pony tail in and painted nails. And suddenly, there is no issue. I asked her if I could put a pony in, and she replied " 2!" Sure enough, no whine or anything and we have.................pigtails!!

And they are still in! Proud Mama moment, and kudos to auntie Kari and cousin Riehle!! Thanks ladies~

A Saturday night with family and stars, and Zo cow.

Tonight Curt Reegan Zoey and I sat out on the deck for the evening with his parents. Just enjoying the girls, the nice evening, and the sunset. And Reegs, of course, put on a show. Enjoy :)

And Thursday, Zoey finally fit into her pjs that are a cow outfit that Auntie Allie bought for her. And she looked SO CUTE! I always call Zoey "Zo pup" But Thursday she was ZO cow. She is getting really good at sitting too. Almost there. Just before she turns 6 months too.

82nd Street Live, one last time!

Last night we went out to see Curt's band, 82nd Street, last local gig around here. There final gig is in a month in Range, WI. He has been with the band for 11 years and has really enjoyed being in the band. But he decided he wanted to spend his weekends with the family and the girls instead of losing a whole weekend everytime they play. Completely his decision, but I fully support him as well! So down to Osceola Lanes last night. Mother nature put on quite the show with lightening and thunder! So the girls and I left before it stormed. But I did get a few pics and video.

I know music will play an important part of the girls lives......... its in their blood. :)

I head to camp tomorrow, so there probably won't be any activity here until thursday. The girls are going to spend some time with Claire T, Auntie Molly, and an overnighter with Grandma and Grandpa Kulzer. I am sure they will have a ball, they always do :)
