Sioux City...and Friends

 So we took a trip to Sioux City Iowa to check  out a practice opportunity and hang out with our friends the Norby's...the highlight was swimming in the pool and moving the Norby's ...a few times, adding a sump pump to their basement, and celebrating Owens birthday...not having church to go to because of the floods coming, and seeing a real live buffalo. Thanks for hosting us amidst the craziness!

Joy School Graduation

 I can hardly believe that the end of this year of Joy School has come Gwyneth has enjoyed every minute the other teachers were so wonderful...thanks for a great year!

Bowling...instead of the Circus

 So we attempted to go to the Circus that had come into town but alas it was full by the time we arrived so we compensated and went bowling instead!

A great time was had by all...Eliza especially loved the extra attention;)

Thank You Grandma and Grandpa for all the fun while you were here...we miss you already.

Pella, Iowa Tulip Festival

                              So after Abbi's Baptism we loaded in the cars and went to the tulip festival in Pella, IA what a blast we saw a parade, a real  working windmill, beautiful tulips and just enjoyed the beautiful day that it was.

 This is me pregnant...just to prove that I really am!

What a great day!

Abbi's Baptism May 7, 2011

Abbi was so excited to be baptized and the day couldn't have been more perfect! We had grandma grandpa and Eliza here ,she got to be baptized with a friend and one of the two teachers from school came...not to mention how the rest of the day was filled but I'll get to that in another post.

So seriously how could I choose just one they were all so cute!

Welcome Grandma Grandpa and Aunt Eliza

For fun the first night of visitors we went to Kent Park and had Tinfoil dinners and of course roasted some smores!

We had to play a little catch...the frisbee, football and baseball.

Nothing like ending the evening with a little game of baseball. What a fun night!

Our Garden

garden scarecrow!

yes, another garden scarecrow.. I'd run

We are taking serious the counsel of the prophet to plant a garden...as we have every year,  but this year we're hoping it all grows!
