Summer fun!

Wow! What a fun and busy summer we have been having! I am really trying to do a good job with the blog because I had the first year printed into a book, and it was a GREAT way to journal what goes on with our lives. I can't believe I didn't blog at all in July! We have been doing so many fun things. We took the kids and Quinn's BFF Rachel to a drive in movie. We saw Toy Story 3 and it was so much fun! I wish it were closer, the hour drive home after the movie was kind of tiring! But it was so worth it for the experience and all 3 kids fell asleep on the way home!
We celebrated Louk's first birthday at the end of June and Maclain's 3rd birthday in July. Maclain is so Toy Story crazy that the whole theme was around Buzz and Woody. We can't go many places any more without being dressed as either Buzz or Woody. He is so darn cute!
Quinn was on swim team again this summer. She is a little fish and her favorite strokes are butterfly and front crawl. She learned to ride her bike without training wheels really well this summer and has been such a great big sister! She plays so well with Maclain, looks out for him, and includes him as much as she can. She is so sweet and I am proud of the 7 year old that she is!
Mark and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary this summer! I can't believe it has been 10 years!
We went to Minneapolis for a short get away, and had a great time. We love our kids so much, and it is hard to leave them for a few nights, but we did enjoy ourselves. Our good friends Rocky and Karla live up in the cities now, and had a baby just a few days before we went to visit. So we got to meet baby Nikko and see their other kids Gabi and Jaden too! It was nice to see them, and it made me realize we need to make it a priority to see them more often. Baby Nikko is SO sweet and I loved holding him...
School starts next week for me! So I will be posting 1st day of school pictures soon!

Great America & the zoo

We had a great weekend! We went to Great America in Illinois on Saturday. Maclain loved it because there was a whole Wiggles section and a Wiggles show. He was singing and dancing...it was so cute! He also rode on 2 roller coasters! The first one was kinda scary and fast. I couldn't believe he was tall enough to ride it. He kept yelling to get off, and then said he liked it when it was over. The last roller coaster we did was a little one and he held his hands up in the sky for some of it. Quinn also loved the roller coasters! She also talked her dad into going on the log ride and the raging rapids ride. Both rides they got soaked on, which didn't look fun to me at all. Thankfully Maclain didn't want to get wet either, so we just walked around while they were on those rides.
On Sunday we went to the Milwaukee Zoo. It was also another perfect day. The weather was nice, the animals were all up and moving and we enjoyed spending the day together. It was Father's Day, so there was a lot of families there celebrating. We left the zoo at closing and got home just in time to see some local fireworks.
We had a great time and the best part was just watching the kids! Love them to pieces!!!!

Happy 7th Birthday Quinn!!!

Quinn had a great 7th birthday! She turned 7 on Thursday, and we celebrated by having Pizza for dinner and she opened a few presents. On Friday, Quinn had her two BFF's over to get their toenails done and we went to McDonald's for dinner. It was fun to just listen to them giggle and have fun together. On Saturday we had a family birthday party. We had walking tacos and a Hannah Montana birthday cake. She got a lot of nice presents and had fun with her family. She got a karaoke machine, so we have been having fun singing! Quinn is a great singer and it is fun!
I can't believe my little girl is already 7! WOW! She has such a fun personality and the best giggle in the world. I love her so much and I am blessed to have her.

Karaoke at the Felber House!

Quinn got a Karaoke machine for her birthday and we have been having fun singing!
Here is a sample of both kids.

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter in Minnesota! It was fun to see all the relatives and the weather was AWESOME! The kids looked so cute in their matching outfits (Probably the only time this will ever happen) and they liked playing with all of their extended cousins. Quinn and Maclain both love when Uncle Bruce comes because he loves to tease them. I had to get a picture of Quinn with Bruce since they both had on their bright green.
