Family Time

By
This past week Kevin and Andrew's cousin Kyle, his wife Sherilyn and their sweet kids came to visit in Mason City. Kevin and I hadn't seen them since the summer of 2012! It was SO much fun to have them here for a few days. They got here Tuesday night and left this morning (Friday).

Here are some pictures from the fun time we had:

Tuesday night Anna, Sherilyn and I met Crystal at Birdsall's for some ice cream/girl time. Its ALWAYS fun to have some girl time and ALWAYS a good idea to get ice cream. 
Wednesday morning we took the kids to the Library for story time then we went over to the museum next door for the kids to play for a bit. There's a spot in the museum where there is a little pond with some fish in it. The kids thought it was so cool and kept saying, "Hi Nemo! Hi Nemo!" So cute. 
Jacob kept asking Arianna to make a volcano. Being the cool mom she is she put together a fun little volcano experiment for the kids to watch. 
 Kiera and Carter were SO cute. They played to sweet together and loved just tapping each other on the head or sitting by each other. 
Last night all the kids had a little slumber party in the toy room. We heard giggles and talking for a good 2 hours after putting them to bed. They had so much fun together. It was so sweet to see these little cousins getting along so well. 
I love all these awesome people! 
I'm so glad Kyle and Sherilyn came to visit! They are so fun to talk to and hang out with. I'm grateful for their wonderful example to us. We are blessed with some pretty fantastic family.

It was a fantastic, fun-filled few days and I'm so grateful they took the time to drive over to see us all. Hopefully it won't be another 4 years before our next visit with them!

Third Time's the Charm..Maybe...

Last week as I sat down to go through some emails I remembered this old blog and got sucked into reading through past posts. I smiled, cried and laughed as I read through my memories over the last 4 years. :) It was crazy to read through and think about how much has changed over the years and how much Kevin and I have experienced together in the 6 years we've been married. My last post was from March of last year after a visit to Iowa. I could kick myself for not keeping up with this blog because last year was packed full of some of the greatest and hardest experiences of my life. Highlights from over the past 18 months: -We had a graduation party in Idaho for Kevin April 2017 and he officially graduated the following July! It felt so good for him to finally be done. He worked SO HARD and overcame some major obstacles and set backs.  -After Kevin walked in April we did a big trip to Utah and Iowa with Shawnii after watching her graduate with her Masters in Communication Disor...

Mid-Week Happenings/Ramblings

By
This week has gone by sooo slow. I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday. Rude. Anyways...Here's some random happenings/ramblings from the past week or so... Kevin is anti anything Christmas before Thanksgiving...I'm the complete opposite. We've compromised. I can listen to Christmas music but cant hang any decorations (my pinecone and snowflake garlands don't count) until the Monday before Thanksgiving. I can live with those stipulations.  We made a goal with our friend G to not eat out at all this week (we may or may not have an addiction to midnight runs to McDonalds). We've survived so far.  Last night we finally watched the movie, "The Fault in Our Stars". Holy hannah. Ugly face cry the whole time people. It was so sad but so worth it, minus the random f-bomb.  I attempted to make homemade french fries for dinner this week...oh deary...Lets just say I wont be using that particular recipe again...or attempting to make fries again a...

Sum of September

By
My goodness its already October! September was a fabulous, crazy, busy, wonderful month. First up a visit to Idaho... A ll my siblings surprised my parents the second weekend of Sept as an early birthday present for my mom's 60th birthday! We were missing Kevin and Arianna's husband and kids but the rest of us were able to go. My parents were so shocked and my mom cried and cried she was so happy to see us all. It was the best present we've ever given her. :)  It was a laid back weekend just spending time together. We went to a Gentri concert Saturday night,  church Sunday, my mom loves having people to sit with so we made sure to visit on a weekend so we could all sit with her, Danny and Melissa's family left Sunday after dinner, Monday we had a little day of shopping and relaxing at home, and then Tuesday Shawnii, Arianna and I all headed home.  GETTING TO DRIVE LARRY HOME FROM CHURCH!!!  The day after I got back from Idaho I st...
