Recap of my Minnesota Summer and Fall

Fourth of July was a lot of fun celebrating with friends

My middle son took a 3D printing class and loved it so much. He made us these hearts to put on our keychains

Part of our Paris photoshoot

Missing my mom’s cooking

Have I ever mention my obsession with Hooters? Whenever I am having a really really bad day Dan always ask if I want to go to Hooters because he knows it will always cheer me up. I love watching all the sports and eating my favorite wings so much

Greek fest this summer was so much fun!

Hi from Greek Fest

Love they had Greek beer and wine and for so cheap! I think the bottle of wine cost me $10

My friend Cam met us up

Dan loves SeaLife at Mall of America

Before going to see the Barbie movie met up for drinks

So much fun seeing it with friends

After movie drinks

Went to check out a New Mexican restaurant and it wasn’t that great but drinks were tasty

Ahhhh how cute are these Pumpkin Mickey Head earrings, I definitely bought them

And these hair clips

I love Patio season

You can find me like this every weekend. I don’t get why the boys love invading my room and bed and all demand cuddles. It is nice though, I am typically just playing music and reading and they all come doing their own thing but wanting to be altogether

Got free tickets to see this musical and it was good

At Dan’s favorite waterfall, we always seem to come to Minnehaha Falls a couple of times in the summer

Ice Cream is always a must

Dan loves taking the kids on one on one hangouts. My oldest always picks a restaurant or to go shopping while my middle likes to go to a sporting event or Top Golf, the baby just gets taken to museums until he is older to tell Dan what he wants to do

More bracelet making for my Milan concert

I love collecting stamps and had to get these as soon as I saw them

So cool!

Our annual community event. You buy your child a button for $5 and they get to do all these kids events for free with the button. It is the best!

Thankful to my friends for being there to capture this picture because like any other parent sometimes we forget to include ourselves in the pictures

Scott loving the carnival part of the event

Lego building

Logan winning in Bingo

He picked a free movie ticket voucher as his prize. He was so happy!

Setting up spots for the parade

Free candy is always the perk of a parade

Ramen that I crave even now

Our middle really loves playing baseball so we signed him up for the Minnesota Twins Baseball Camp for the second year in a row. They get to take a field trip to the stadium and meet a player during the week. It really is a good program and even now I can see how he improves each time after camp.

He loves being on the baseball field

Halloween goodies from Target for my MOMS Club Halloween party I organize every year

Beads for kids bracelet making

My friend Gloria, had an event at Wisconsin Dells and she invited us to join her and the kids had a blast!

Dan every morning went downstairs to get me a coffee. He really is the best!

It took forever for Scott to warm up to the water park and so happy when he finally did

Oh hello there huge Pina Colada

So cute

Love claw machine games and the kids were super excited when I got this lol

And again lolol

Cam and I at the All American Rejects Concert, thanks Groupon for the cheap tickets lolol

Love that they opened up with my favorite song, Swing Swing

The following week went to see Cigarettes After Sex

Learned a new technique for bracelet making

Love a good michelada

Went to the State Fair 3 or 4 times, I can’t seem to remember now but it was so much fun

I like taking the kids one on one

With my oldest and this day was super hot!

Met up with a high school friend that was visiting and took them to Revival in St Paul. Love fried chicken and waffles so much!

Freaked out when I saw this Juan Gabriel shirt online but it was sold out online and anywhere near me but thank goodness for Dan driving me like an hour away to another Target to get this t-shirt. He knows I have a deep love for Juan Gabriel and am obsessed with him

Oktoberfest in St Paul was a lot of fun and bought this beer glass from the event

Our annual wine stomping event with my friends and here is my friend Gloria ❤

Cider flight

Finally painted our front door

In St Paul there is a place that hosts tons of cultural events and I went to a Vietnam event at the Landmark

One of my best friends is Vietnamese and won her this book during trivia

The author was even there so I asked her to sign it and make it out to her kids. She was amazing and signed it for them.

Apple picking

Ordered my Taylor Swift Speak Now cardigan and it came with such cute confetti

Bead order came in

Love organizing everything

Mall of America always takes these helmets out and Logan always loves taking pictures with them

My good friend bought me this sweater for Taylor’s upcoming re release of 1989

And they got my name embroidered on it!!! My friends are always the sweetest with their random gestures of love

My Halloween event, I love leading the kids bingo

The Minnesota Twins made the playoffs this year but got eliminated in Round 2. Dan took Logan to a game in each round, they had a blast and I know Dan especially was super excited to bond with Logan over their shared love of baseball.

Took the kids to the zoo and the grizzly bears were all out

This sign loves moving around at the mall and I love getting a picture of its new location when it is moved

Went on a hike with my friends

Pictures don’t do the beauty of the midwest justice

WOW

Went for ice cream and lunch afterwards

That’s it for now on my recap
