summer fun

Summer has been full of fun things so far!  The kids and I have been busy at the park, pool and camps.  We truly are loving this warm weather...
 Colin taking a break from playing and practicing!  He doesn't talk so maybe he will potty train early:)
 The girls had so much fun at vacation bible school camp this year!
 Summer selfies
 Digging in the sand is so much fun
 Can't keep her off this thing
 Red cheeks must mean it's a beautiful hot day!
 The Varley crew
 My little cookie monster
 Not even the Minnesota floods can keep us from having fun
Water park fun with friends is the best!

Kick off to Alivia's golden birthday weekend

To start off Alivia's 6th birthday she got to go with grandma and get her nails done.  Such a fun way to make her golden birthday so special!




After nails we Alivia headed to a movie and lunch with Paul and then when she got home she went with daddy, nana and papa to the Twins game!  What a crazy full day of fun!!!

Birthday weekend!

Such a fun day.  Alivia had her surprise party that turned out amazing.  She had no idea and all 20 girls had a blast making bracelets, painting, getting their face painted and a fun photo booth.

Happy 6th birthday to my Alivia

I am having a hard time with my baby turning 6 years old.  I am so lucky to have such a sweet, loving, compassionate, hard working and dedicated little girl to call my own.  This year has had so many new experiences that has been so fun for me to watch her grow into her own little self.  I am so proud of Alivia and love her so much!
Since the first day I held her she has always been my little sweetie.  She just has that look that anyone can love.  Alivia has the most beautiful heart any mom could ask for.  She may have her moments, but that is what make her Alivia Kay Varley.
Most people that know me my sister basically taught me everything I know about fashion and what goes with what.  It's crazy to me that I have a daughter who loves clothes, fashion and looking all put together from head to toe.  Some day soon we will be sharing shoes and I will be getting much needed fashion advice from me little Alivia!
One of many first this year Alivia learned and loves to roller skate.  She went to a few birthdays where they skated and she has loved ever since.  This was the first time I watched her be so determined to figure something out and owning it while doing it.  So proud of her!
 Another big moment this year was Alivia making the Showbiz kids performing line at her dance studio.  I never thought I would have a child do what I grew up doing, but let me tell you it was so much fun watching it through her eyes.  I got to experience such an awesome thing with her this year that was pretty amazing.  Hard work pays off for sure!
 Keeping on with Alivia's first bring me to loosing her first tooth.  I sat in the bathroom with her while she literally pulled that tooth off every root till it came out.  My little girl who is afraid of blood and little cuts basically murdered her tooth with blood dripping down her chin and was so proud of herself when it came out.

 Last but not least Alivia got her ears pierced this year.  On November 1st we went and she was so brave and didn't even move when the lady did each ear one by one.
Happy 6th birthday to you Alivia.  I love you so much and am so proud to be your mom.  You amaze me everyday with all the new things you learn, try and want to become.  I might be the luckiest mom to have you has my little girl!
