Here is Lindsey on her first day of first grade. She had a great first day and didn't even cry at drop off. Mom of course was holding them back!! I did lose the battle on the first day of school outfit. I wanted her to wear a pretty dress and she insisted on the "Girls Rule Big Time" shirt. Oh well, we as Moms know we have to pick our battles... 
I had to post this picture as I just love it. The girls look so peaceful and content playing in the mighty Mississippi. If they only knew how dirty that water was!
The girls have been enjoying playing soccer this summer. Sydney especially loves playing goalie. She surprised me and actually does quite well even though she is one of the smallest on her team. See below for a picture of her in goal (not the best picture but you get the idea). 
The Champlin Parade is now a tradition for our family. The girls look forward to it every year (for the candy of course). This year we went with the neighbors and had a blast! Above are Sydney, Teagan and Lindsey anxiously waiting for the parade to begin with their bags in hand ready to run after that candy!
Above are the girls watching the parade intently. Perhaps you noticed the purple crown on Sydney's head. She has a pink one and a purple one and she has been wearing them almost non-stop for the last month. Every where we go people ask her if she is a princess. She just smiles, nods and says--yes, EVERY DAY!
Okay I am WAY behind on posting, but even though it was a month ago I still have to still post the pictures from Lindsey's last day of Kindergarten as it was a HUGE milestone. 
The parents were invited to a picnic lunch, but because it rained we all ate on the floor in the cafeteria. The kids thought it was pretty cool!
