Long weekend in Iowa, Feb 13-16

We spent a long weekend in Iowa with David's family...we had a lot of fun with Grandma & Grandpa Sutton and Debbie and Paul and their family...and David got his fix of ribs and taco pizza, so all was well with the world! It really was good to see everyone...hope to do it again soon!

Day at the park-Wed, Feb 4

We went to the park again, after David got home from work...it was chilly, but nice to be outside. The kids were so loving to their friend Lily...they helped her overcome her fear of the bumpy bridge. The last pic is another reminder that Daniel needed a haircut! :)

FULL, FUN FRIDAY! Jan 30, 2009

We started off our day with 45 minutes of open gymnastics time, at our rec center... the kids LOVE it...they are totally free spirits, full of adventure and willing to try anything...it's so fun to watch (for the most part)! ;)
Then we went to the park near our house, b/c it was a gorgeous day...a little windy (which makes it colder then you'd think--hence the jackets!), but it was nice and sunny and so wonderful.
We ended our day with a potluck and playdate with moms and kids from our church, b/c the dads were having a Guys Night. We ended up with 22 kids and 11 moms...yes, we were outnumbered 2-1, but we had a great time!

Ryan's Birthday Celebration--Mon, Jan 26

We celebrated Ryan's 2nd birthday a couple weeks after his actual birthday, but he didn't mind. He loved the puzzle we gave him--he is REALLY good at puzzles. Notice that Daniel was in need of a haircut (he wanted a ponytail, like Maggie--Daddy isn't going to like this pic, but then he should have taken him to get his haircut)! Happy Birthday Rye-Rye...we love you little man!

Sunday, Jan 25--Kid Swap

**This is being posted on March 19, almost 2 months later...but I can't figure out how to change the date it's posted on, as the header...

We had 8 kids over here Sunday night, b/c we kid swapped with all of their parents! It's awesome...we watch kids one time and then get 3 date nights out of the deal... and all of the kids get to play and have fun...it's a win-win arrangement (and the kids sleep really well, b/c they are totally worn out from all of the excitement)!
