iowa adventure

We had so much fun visiting Nick, Erika, Austin, Sydney, and Kaden! Thanks for everything guys!

We decided to take a couple pictures after church one day. The skirts that the girls are wearing came from Dallon's aunt Jeanine. Just having fun!!

Just some fun pictures!

Dallon, Zeeli and Emma Jo were having fun.

Emma Jo loves this little piano that we found in TN for $5. She is getting big enough to sit on the seat all by herself.

Almost every Sunday we surprised by a visit by Dallon's sister Jenni and her husband Jared. Zeeli loves playing with them.

I guess Dallon thought that Zeeli and I were cute sleeping together on the couch after a very hectic day at church.

GARDENING CITY STYLE

Nate got me gloves, and gardening clogs, and built me a planter box so that we could have a bit of earth to grow some tomatoes. Happy mothers day to me and to all my sisters

happy cinco de mayo b-day to riley-roo

In Vail tradition we went to the zoo last Wed. for Riley's birthday. Justin, Beth, Riley, Brooklyn, Miles, Pete, Simon, Dad, and I escaped into the African Savannah, Asian Forest, Tropical, Ocean, and Polar Regions. It was a blast!

Nick Finished Year 1 ...

Can you believe it?! Nick has finished year 1 of 5. Ok, so I can believe it too. But, let me tell you...we need to celebrate these mini-milestones in our life. It dispells the stress of 4 more years in school! And it gives us a reason to treat ourselves!

Yeah Nick!!! We are so proud of you!!!

I'm 1/4th done!

I took my final for 101 yesterday and I am done for the semester. I have yet to find out if I will be able to transfer to Boyce Campus this summer which starts on the 19th. I don't think it is going to happen, but it will be nice to have the summer off. The important thing is that I made it through 101 alive and happy. HOORAY!
