So Proud and Stuff!!!

We are WAY behind on the blogging!!   We have been busy trying to adjust to Heath's new work schedule, prepare our house to put on the market, find sissy a new daycare while Judy has bilateral total knee replacements, and attend our nieces graduation reception and graduation ceremony.  Mother's Day happened in there somewhere too, which was just a quiet day with Alexandria since Kade spent the day with his mom and Heath had to work.  We both took naps and then enjoyed a nice long walk on a beautiful day.  Mom has helped me out by coming down 1 night a couple weeks ago to keep me company and keeping Alexandria overnight 1 night this weekend.  I was able to get some painting done and our first boxes packed.  I was a bit depressed about it, but then got into the mindset that I just want to get this done and get settled in Ames so our lives will be much more easy!  Here is a compilation of pictures from the past month!



Sis and the lady of the hour.

Ramada Waterpark Fun!

A couple weekends ago I met up with my old roommies and their families at the Ramada water park in Des Moines.  We had so much fun, but it didn't last long enough.  Sara, Bruce, Emerson, and Isaac live in Kansas City and Sarah, Brice and Sophia live in Waukee.  We are not that far from each other, but we rarely see each other, which is a total bummer.  It was fun to have all the kids together and watch them run around and have so much fun.  Kade had Brayton come with so he didn't have to be the odd man out with a bunch of toddlers!  The room we stayed in was like an apartment, so it worked great!  Alexandria loved the water this time too!!!  I was nervous about that since she was scared to death of it when we went there for Kade's birthday.  Heath didn't get to go since it was the first weekend of his job.  It was really weird not having him there and he was definitely missed by the group.  I know he really wanted to be there too.  I can't wait to get together with all of them again!!!


Ready to swim!!
Emerson, Alexandria, Sophia, and Isaac...a bunch of cuties!!
