Life this week!

Here is my piglet eating the snack of her choice-cauliflower!

This is when I realize that not doing daycare anymore may be challenging too! Juleah is anxiously waiting for Levi and Isaiah to arrive-still in her night gown!

Our day at Grimes Farm-Nature Center...can you believe there were 4 babies that didn't even make it into the photo! We were 5 busy moms keeping them together and safe!

Clara and Ava are just one week apart!

Clara's gone country on us!

Sisterhood

Don't we look great in our new dresses from Auntie Jenni and Uncle Jason (Mexico trip)

And how about our turtle swim suits-imagine that!

I am lovin' it!

Our Adventures

Clara's first trip to the races. She did really well!

Here is my little DIVA! Juleah was sure that Ryan was in one of those race cars and she was cheering "Go daddy!" It was too cute, I just let her believe it! When he came to hug her she said "Good job daddy!"

So we have officially become tourist of Marshalltown, seeing all the cites we managed to not have time for in the past three years. I guess somethings are more fun when you have two little girls with you.

Just me and my daddy. That is presicly how Juleah perfers it to be! Clara on the other hand is still a mommies girl-I wonder why?

Here is our annual famliy hand picture. This year Clara's hand was added and Juleah's hand is not longer in action! I realize now that I maybe didn't pick the best picture to show you, but we got a few more. We decided the stone represents the year because our family is working to build our home on the Rock of Christ.

Saying Good-bye to Marshalltown as a Family

Clara is loving life, and loves a good outing with the fam!

Her vocabulary has expanded from "ma, ma" to "da, da"!

We call her grabby girl, cause she seems to have go-go gadget arms.

Juleah cannot eat bread herself,but she is enjoying giving some to the ducks. For those of you that don't know we are moving soon,

so we decided to finish our "fun to do someday in Marshalltown" list.

Which lead us to take Juleah to Taylor's Maid Rite. It is the original of the branch. It is what put Marshalltown on the map for us Minnesotans.

For those of you who are unfamiliar: here is the typical meal. A malt served in a water glass with a straw and a ground burger on a bun. The meat is so loose that you need a spoon. The works consists of: ground onions, mustards and pickles. As you can see there is ketchup, but only a year ago that would not have been there. It is a controversial topic in town.

Then we were off to the Iowa Veterans home for a kite flying adventure. It was a perfect day for the flying kites. However, we learned that 2 year olds don't appreciate and get into kite flying as much as their parents-maybe next year! We only have one more thing on our list-the waterpark!
