Happy Birthday Levi!

We have a performer.

Naomi is 5!

Naomi turned 5 years old on August 19th so we had a girlie princess party complete with nail painting and hair fixing.  It was a grand time.  Her guest list included several little girls in addition to three of the sweet ladies who babysit for us.  This girl is absolutely adorable.  So girly and funny.  It is so much fun to watch her grow up!

Southern Iowa Sister

The kids and I went to visit the Hill Family in way way way southern Iowa.  It took me four whole days hours to get there.  It was totally worth it!  I love my sweet Emily and her beautiful family.

We went on vacation...a long time ago

We drove to North Carolina back in July for a vacation with my family.  We went from the beach to the mountains and it was a wonderful trip.  It is always delightful to spend time with my fam and share life with them.  They are a rowdy bunch of folks, Ill say that.  There was lots of laughter and goofing off and quality time just relaxing.  I thank God for such a loving family!  Here are some highlights in pictures.
