Our Little Mechanic






Chloe is seen here working on her pink car. So cute. This was a night with daddy. He let her roll around in the muddy puddles and then they worked their way to fixing her car.

Chloe's latest adorable thing is that she tries to sing. We will sing her a song and then she will sing it back to us. We laugh so hard.

Girls Weekend

My mom, Nicole, Ashley, Chloe and myself spent two full days in Chicago. It was so much fun. We visited the American Girl store and made sure to color coordinate for our dinner. The girls got a photo shoot with their American Girl dolls. And the mom's got to visit Tiffany's, Crate and Barrel, and other fun stores on the Magificent Mile. I really love Chicago. There is so much to do. We could have spent a few more days there but had to get home to our boys.

Shopping at Tiffany's




We loved going into Tiffany's. The jewelry there is beautiful!

American Girl Dinner, Shopping, and Fun!

Train Ride

We took the train from Ann Arbor, MI to Chicago, IL. It was hillarious! I don't recommend it without hubbys. We had two children and a senior citizen (Ha, love you mom)...so Nicole and I had to manage nine pieces of luggage, two strollers, and our children. It was a riot! Everyone was staring at us. A good laugh for all of them. The actual train ride was nice. Chloe could walk around and we could use the restroom and relax. But I recommend driving due to the luggage issues. Now if you have someone to do the luggage then go for it...or if you pack light! Oh...another reason not to travel alone on the train with little ones...the parking lot where we had to park was a good 8 minute walk up and down flights of stairs. Try that with luggage and kiddos! Getting dropped off and picked up at the station would have worked a bit better.

From the Windy City






We had a great time at the American Girl store. We did the American Girl dinner, which was delicious! And then shopped on Friday down the Magnificent Mile. The girls are pictured here with their latte's! Carmel or Vanilla?
