Ryan at the Park

Here are some pictures of Ryan playing at the park with Aunt B and Uncle Luke. His favorite was the swings, of course.

Go Hawkeyes!!

We had a fun day over at Mike and Heidi's house watching the Iowa-Iowa State Game. Mattie and Ryan played the bean bag game and then decided to hose everyone down with water :)

Mattie starts First Grade!!

Well, Mattie started First Grade. She really enjoys her teacher, Mr.Herrick. She has a lot of the same kids in her class again this year.

Okoboji Summer '09

So I know I haven't written anything for a long time but I am definitely going to keep this up to date now...I promise :)

Anyways, these are some pictures of us on our second trip to Okoboji this summer. We had a great time and the weather was absolutely beautiful. Shawn and Virginia bought a boat. We went on the new nature walk near their house which is filled with giant wooden bugs...it was really cool. Mattie is pretending to be chased in one of the photos-that was Papa's idea!! We also celebrated Shawn, Larry and Ellie's birthdays while we were there and had a fish fry. Busy, busy. Mattie loved spending time with cousin Ellie and Ryan had a fun time making mom run after him.

Aunt B

Aunt B has been complaining that she has not made it on the blog yet so I figured I better get some pictures of her and kids together on here:) Her and Matti have matching sunglasses...they look like twins!!

EASTER 08'

We had a pretty rough Easter this year....Matt and I were both sick with the flu and Matti was just getting over it. Ryan ended up getting it as well but they are both very healthy now!! Thank Goodness:) Aunt B and Papa and Grandma C. came to the rescue though and picked up the kids so they could still enjoy the day. Ryan is getting so big now...he is Five Months Old and rolling over like crazy. He is so smiley. Matti loves to play with him....she is always giving him toys and showing him pictures.
