My new friend, Sarah






Isaiah stayed with my friend, Michelle, from school and her daughter Sarah. Aren't they cute?

I'd loose my head

Well, it looks like we are moving AGAIN. This time back to an apartment, but a nicer one. It will be a good move for us, I hope. The place is much bigger than our duplex and is in West Des Moines. We spend most of our time on this side of town anyways. The rent is a little more, but the utilities will make up for it...
Anyone wanting to build some arm strength and help move can meet us at our current place of residency on the 3rd of May. See us for details....

Yummy Rice Cereal

Like I said...we started him on rice cereal.


This was taken before...haha!

LOOONG Spring Break, yet no break at all

Well, Spring Break is over. "Where did it go?" Kevin and I asked on our way back from our 6 hour drive to Davenport and back. It seemed like just yesterday we were getting pumped for a break and thinking of all the great things we would do (none, really got done though)! I guess with the kids here and having Nathan, the time just flew by. It was fun having them here and we bonded a lot. I am excited to finally start building a relationship with Ben. It's been a long road. It has been much easier to bond with Abbey (probably because she is so mature..and a girl), but Ben's been a struggle. He is very much a mama's boy and is into things I know nothing about. Nathan and him have a great relationship so hopefully I can play off that. Did I say having the kids here was a blast? Abbey was the best older sister, of course. And Ben was so cute with Isaiah this week. He was picking him up and trying to bounce him. Adorable! Thanks Mimi and Papa for the cute outfits! Can't wait for it to get warm enough to put them on him. It snowed last night, by the way. Yep, SNOW! I tell ya...we must be crazy living in Iowa.
Isaiah started on rice cereal and baby food this past week. We unfortunately discovered he does not care for peas...but they do add some color to our clothes when spit out :)! Hopefully tonight I will be able to download some of this week's pictures on here for all to see.
PS: Can't wait for June...not that I am counting or anything.

Abbey and Ben's weekend of fun!





We had the kiddos out here for three days and it was an absolute blast.  Abbey sure was a good lil' mom to Isaiah.  Isaiah and Ben "blabbed" back and forth all weekend long.  Nathan spent the night on Saturday so the kids stayed up way too late and probably laughed a little too hard.  Anyways, things have been hectic here with the weather bouncing back and forth from nice to cold.  I realized last week someone stole my hub-cap and I got a flat tire yesterday.  Thanks for all those who prayed to keep us safe as we traveled.  Please continue to pray for our family....
