Our boys are all growing so fast.... Parker is 6-1/2, Owen is 4 and our little Drew is already 2 months old! We sure love these little guys... they're such cuties!
Our little guy is 2 months old!! Here are a few pictures of our little Drew! - - we are so blessed to have him in our lives... we LOVE this little boy!!!
This summer the boys have been playing hide-n-seek tag EVERYDAY! The neighbor kids all gather to play pretty much every night! It is pretty cute... as I remember playing in our neighborhood when I was growing up! :) My Mom was here and the boys convinced her to play one day during daycare! It was hilarious - - poor Nina wasn't fast enough to get the boys so she was 'it' for quite awhile! - -I think it wore her out!! :)
June 5th was Jesse & Rachel's wedding in Ida Grove! We had such a GREAT time at this wedding... got to see tons of friends and family and our 2 oldest boys had a blast dancing the night away and the youngest loved getting held and loved up on all night!! :) Congrats to the happy couple!! :)
We are looking for a larger home now that our family has grown!! If you know of anyone looking to buy please send them our way and if it results in a sale for us we will give you a little reward!! :)
Our little Owen had a rough night Tuesday... he was playing hide-n-seek tag with the neighbors and as he was running to base he ran smack into Daddy's tail gate on his truck! He cut open his forehead pretty badly! Mommy freaked out... it looked horrible!! :( I think my crying actually calmed him down tho... he didn't cry anymore after I was crying. He asked why I was crying and I said, "I don't want to see my little boys get hurt." After that he was Mr. Tough Guy! - - he had to get 8 stitches and he was a trooper! It was not pleasant to say the least, but we were very proud of him for being so brave!
Here is our BIG BOY on his last day of Kindergarten!! - - so hard to believe our little Parker is going to be a 1st grader!!! He was so sad as he got off the bus... he cried and told me he didn't want school to be over! He will miss his friends and his teacher, Ms. Reed - - she is the BEST!!
Of course Owen had to be included in the pictures... :)
Our little boy is already 7 weeks old! He is a HEALTHY boy... getting bigger everyday! :) In these pictures he is wearing his little onsie from the Ladwig family (Ryan & Candi) - if you are interested in some personalized clothing items Candi does a GREAT job!! You can get in touch with her by visiting the http://www.thevinylstudio.com/! - - thanks Candi!!! :)
Waukee Elementary had a 'Kindergarten Celebration' for the kids last week! They don't actually have a kindergarten graduation so this allows them to still celebrate!! :) Only 2 people can come for each kid so Nick and I both went (thank you Sarah for watching my kiddos)!! It was super cute... they sang songs and showed us some of the things they learned throughout the year and then afterwards we got to go to their classroom and have the kids serve the parents cookies and juice! :) We are very proud of our little kindergartener!! It's hard to believe our Parker will be in first grade!!
Here are some photos from their little celebration!
Our family started in May of 2001 when Nick and I were married! :) We have 3 little boys, Parker (10-1/2 years old), Owen (8 years old)and Drew (4 yrs old)! Our boys are FULL of energy (especially the 2 younger ones) and so is our dog Wrigley... but we wouldn't want it any other way!
Nick is an electrical programmer for a company in the D.M. area and I am so thankful to get to stay at home with my boys.
We LOVE getting to spend time with our family and friends! Life is entirely too short... and we VALUE EVERY minute with both!
