An outing :)

A perk of my job at a newspaper, sometimes we get free passes into things. A couple weeks ago we got a postcard stating it was Media day at the Science Museum of Minnesota. Reporters and their families (up to 4 people) could get in the museum for free. They had a new dinosaur exhibit, which we were particularly excited to see, and we got to see a dinosaur movie on the IMAX screen!

Here's Sophie acting like a news anchor in part of the museum. :)

Sophie wearing her dinosaur mask that she got in her goodie bag.

Was fun to get out of town for a day, and of course afterward we went to IKEA! :)

Sophie turns 6!

Can you believe it? Sophie is 6! Here's a few photos from the day of her actual birthday when we had cake at home, plus from her party with a few girls from church!

Here she is on her real birthday :)

The decorations.

Sophie and her friends in their Hello Kitty masks they made.

The cake I made for the party :) (Ran out of frosting or I would have added a bow)

 Sophie and her friend, Hallee.

Jason braved it by holding up the piñata while the kids hit it! We didn't have any other way to hang it up!

Landon turns 2!

We had a combined birthday party with Landon and Vanessa (our friend Sarah's daughter) It was butterfly and caterpillar themed. 

Here's Vanessa :)

Played pin the feet on the caterpillar.

Landon opening a gift.
