summer fun

Vroom...

It took a little while for this little guy to start smiling--he just needed to play in the red car!

boys

To my great surprise, my sons asked me to take their pictures. Did I just hear you right?! I usually have to BEG for a picture from them and then I get lots of groaning. Not this time! It was great!





Not that every picture was easy..... Kaeden learned to cross his eyes recently and he thinks it's hilarious. I'm so proud. :)

Spring is on the way...

Most of the snow has melted and it's so great to get outside again! I took my boys to Minnesota for a few days for Spring Break and we were able to see friends and family. It was wonderful. On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, we all took a walk and most of us stayed out of the mud, but it wasn't easy!

Ice

Since we moved "south" to Iowa, I truly believed that this winter would be a little easier. Milder. Warmer than North Dakota. :) This winter has been anything but easy. Lots of snow, cold temperatures, many missed days of school and ICE. This last ice storm caused lots of problems, but the ice really was beautiful.

The entire back side of our house was covered with icicles.

As it became warmer during the day, the icicles began to fall.
