Santa Baby

Christmas is my favorite time of the year!! The house is deocated, shopping is almost done, and listening to Christmas music every day. We pray that you and your family have a wonderful Christmas celebrating the birth of Jesus.

Enjoy the pictures of Mason ~ my Santa Baby!!

Merry Christmas!!

We pray that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! We have so much to be thankful for!!!

Summer Fun

It is hard to believe that summer is almost over. We have had a great summer ~ we didn't take a big vacation, but enjoyed a lot of fun weekends together with family & friends.

We hope that you all had a great summer as well. Tyler starts Pre-School next week and he is looking forward to that. Mason is a great baby and it is hard to believe that he will be 5 months this week. We have adjusted well to a family of 4 and have made lots of great memories this summer.

Fun with Mitchell & Connor

Two weeks ago Tyler, Mason, & I met Shawna Van Zee, Mitchell, & Connor in Des Moines. We enjoyed the Des Moines Zoo in the morning, lunch, and some shopping. We also celebrated Mitchell's 6th birthday and the kids loved Mitchell's ice cream treat. :)

Thanks Shawna, Mitchell, and Connor for a great day!! It was a lot of fun!!!
