Como Zoo

Can't believe we had never been to the Como Zoo -- we went on Sunday and had such a great time! Brody got to ride cars and a choo choo and his favorite animal was the Zebra!

Boating

We took Brody out on the boat for the first time and he was thrilled to be on the water. He loved when daddy drove fast and when they caught a fish!

Happy 4th of July!

Our attempt at getting a picture of both kids -- as you can see Brody wasn't into it!

Brody and his buddy, John Henry

We had a great 4th -- parade, neighborhood BBQ and fireworks! What more do you need!

Nora = 5 months

Nora turned 5 months on Sunday -- she is full of smiles and such a delight to have around. We are so thankful to have such a healthy, happy baby!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Brody!

This post is a little late ... Happy 2nd Birthday to Brody! We had a great time celebrating with family and friends. Brody is in to anything that 'moves' -- so, we had a John Deere tractor theme birthday! His new favorite thing - birthday cake! We have been celebrating so many birthdays lately that he thinks he should get cake all the time! :)

We survived...the month of May!

So, the month of May was extremely busy hence no blog posts. We had Grandma Betty's birthday party in Wisconsin, Brody's 2nd birthday party, Mother's Day, Nora's baby dedication, mommy went back to work, Danielle and Jason's wedding in Iowa, GYRIG race, daddy got a promotion & traveled EVERY week and to top it all off Nora got sick and we made several trips to the doctor (all is good now!) Although we had some really fun and exciting events during this month I am so glad it is over and hopefully things will slow down for the rest of the summer.

Not sure how we would have gotten through this busy month without the support of our family and friends ... thank you!
