Jamey took Lauryn to her 1st Twins game & she LOVED it!!! They road the light rail to the Metrodome--a 1st for both of them. Jamey liked the fact that he didn't have to fight traffic or find a place to park but the ride got a little long. Lauryn didn't mind the ride. She thought it was great that it went underground. :)
When they got home, I asked who won. Lauryn knew the Twins won, 3-1. After she told me the score, Jamey told her to tell me what else happened. (He whispered to me that they rehearsed this all the way home) She said, "Um, yeah, this one guy, I think his name was Kitty, hit the ball out, then ran around the bases 2 times." Jamey burst out laughing then told me that Kuddyer hit a 2 run home run, lol! Close enough sweetheart! I knew what ya meant! ;)
I sent the camera with Jamey so he could take pictures of Lauryn at her 1st Twins game, but Lauryn told me Jamey left it in the car because he didn't want to carry it. Are you serious?! Thanks a lot Jay!
Thanks to a vendor at the Metrodome, I was able to see Lauryn at her 1st game. The pictures turned out cute but for $18, I don't think I'm going to buy them. You can check out pictures of Jamey & Lauryn at

1st Day of School
I can hardly believe it! Lauryn's in 2nd grade & McKenzie's in 4th! I can remember each of their 1st day of preschool like it was yesterday. Lauryn's was hard to forget considering she was kicking & screaming as I walked out the door BAWLING!!! ;( That's a 1st day of school I'll NEVER forget!!!
To prepare the girls for school, Jamey & I decided they should start their bedtime routine about a week before school started. What a challenge that proved to be! On more than one occasion, they told me I'm the meanest mom in the neighborhood. After all, I'm the ONLY mom in the neighborhood that made their kids get ready for bed when its still light outside! Lol, am I mean or what?! ;)
McKenzie woke up on Tuesday morning a 1/2 hour before her alarm went off - an hour & 45 minutes before the bus was scheduled to arrive. She showered, got dressed & ate breakfast by the time my alarm went off. Everyday since has been the same thing. I wonder how long it'll be before I have to force her out of bed??? ;)
Lauryn was her usual self the 1st day of school. After the alarm went off, she came downstairs to snuggle with me. When I told her it was time to get up, she snuggled closer & said, "Just 1 more minute." I wonder where she gets that from??? Jamey!
The girls are extremely excited about their teachers this year. Lauryn's in Mrs. Hedeen's class. McKenzie had Mrs. Hedeen so we know 1st hand what a wonderful woman & teacher she is. McKenzie's in Mrs. (Donna) Lindahl's class. I know Donna on a personal level & have heard wonderful things about her as a teacher. I'm confident both girls are going to have another great school year!
I just love their backpacks this year. The shoulder bag style reminds me of the "ESPIRIT" bag I had in high school. Those were the best!
McKenzie outgrew just about everything in her closet last summer. Lucky for her that meant she got a whole new wardrobe for school. The outfit she chose for the 1st day of school wouldn't have been my 1st choice, but that's ok. She was excited about it, so I was too.
For Lauryn's birthday, Jill bought her a couple outfits from Justice. (the old Limited Too) Because Lexi likes to shop at Justice, Lauryn does too. (Lauryn thinks Lexi walks on water!) So it was no surprise to me when Lauryn chose 1 of her Justice outfits to wear on the 1st day of school.
The girls have a lot of activities again this year; choir, Just For Kix, Girl Scouts & more! I thought our lives would slow down after school started. I guess I was wrong!

The Great MN Get Together
My dad & Mary took McKenzie & Lauryn to the State Fair the week before school started. When Dad told me he wanted to bring the girls, I just about fell off my chair! We NEVER went to the State Fair when we were little. As a matter of fact, my 1st trip to the State Fair wasn't until I was pregnant with McKenzie. Taking McKenzie & Lauryn to the fair HAD to be Mary's idea 'cause I KNOW Dad wouldn't have come up with the idea on his own, lol! Mary took a few pictures of the girls for me since I wasn't there for their 1st trip to "The Great MN Get Together". (They went on a Wednesday while I was working)
Here's a picture of McKenzie & Lauryn in one of the many barns they visited. Mary said they went in ALL the barns. ;) My guess is, Dad was on cloud 9 while Mary, McKenzie & Lauryn were bored to death. Although when Lauryn showed me this picture she seemed quite impressed by the state's largest pig, lol!
Another surprise... The only fair we attended when we were little was the Dakota County Fair & we weren't allow to ride the rides. So when the girls were getting ready to go, I told them over & over "Now don't beg Grandpa to go on the rides. He won't let you!" Much to my surprise, now only did dad let them ride the rides, he even rode a few with them. Dad's gettin' soft in his old age. ;)
Lauryn told me after Mary took this picture she almost dropped my camera. Or I should say, she dropped my camera but caught it before it fell all the way down. Whew! I wouldn't have been happy if she would've dropped my camera. Nice catch Mary!
The girls also rode "Thunder Canyon" (at least that's what its called at Valley Fair). They said they both got wet but McKenzie got soaked! I'm assuming its because McKenzie's heavier than Lauryn. Seeing them on this makes me want to go to Valley Fair. I love Thunder Canyon!
Thank you dad & Mary for a memorable "1st" for the girls!!! I know I won't forget this & I'm sure they won't either! :)
