KAYLA is here!!!! (oh, and Uncle Aaron, Aunt Sheri, and Khloe too!!)

We have been over-the-top excited about our visit from Aaron's family but for Cassidy it was alllllllllll about Kayla! We had a blast as usual! Here the kids are, not so patiently waiting for their cousins to arrive!



The FIRST thing Khloe did when she walked in the door was find and grab Jovi!!

Two super tired girls asleep on the first night

We still enjoy matching clothing and jammies when we're together. I wonder how much longer the kids will go along with this tradition?!






















The contrast in this picture cracks me up (and don't worry, those tears didn't last long!)





















We had to take them to Reiman Gardens! One of our favorite family spots.

We spent the next day in DesMoines at the Science Center






and visited Court Avenue Brewing Co. for lunch!





On the last night, Kurt took Kayla and Cassidy to see our local theater company's production of Tarzan - the girls loved it!!
What a way to start our summer!! We love you Aaron, Sheri, Kayla and Khloe!!

Memorial Day

A few spring showers couldn't rain on our parade!

Last day of preschool

It really crept up on us: the last day of school! It's been an incredible year. We are so happy with how much Cassidy has grown, matured, changed and get glowing reports from her teacher! This year of preschool was just what we hoped: a great stepping stone in preparation for all-day kindergarten starting in August.

Reiman Gardens

We spend a lot of time in the spring/summer/fall at Reiman Gardens on campus at ISU. It's such a beautiful place to take the kids and let them run and explore. Always something different in bloom!











Jumping on the chimes! A favorite!

Bubbles!

This bubble machine is the BEST $10 I've spent in a long time!

Just like Anna

Like every home of children in America, we have Frozen Fever. Cassidy often asks for her hair in braids, "just like Anna"!
