New Year, New Fun, Same Friends!

Time to start another year at Amanda's

 and these two can not wait to hang out! 

Getting their mischievous look on...

But boy do they take cute pictures : ) 

Cute as can be just wishing she knew what she was doing! 

And as for these two... looking more innocent than usual : ) 

Cute as can be as they get ready for their first day of PRESCHOOL! 

Oh boy, good luck Mrs. Bienemann!

Weekend in Wisconsin

It was a good weekend in Wisconsin visiting cousins and spending time at Aunt Doe and Uncle Scott's. 

These boys love their matching hoodies from Aunt Doe!

And getting in to trouble : ) 

They did let Celie play with them just a bit.

 Although all she wanted to do was hang out with her big cousin Haley ; )  

Our camping cousins minus Nolan.

Back at the farm Aunt Keilah let us have a little fun with a dog...

And of course Celie was in heaven with all the rocks...

Some last quick photos before we make our way back to Iowa. 

 

Last Days of Summer

It is hard to pick one thing I am going to miss the most about our summer days together.

(Heads up there are a lot of selfie/groupie pictures... How else is a momma supposed to get pictures with her kids : ) 

I love when I hear the pitter-patter feet, see their sleepy smiles and 

know that I am going to get some morning snuggles. 

I love that they are finally at the stage where we can spend solid time drawing in the driveway.

I love every single 'flower' Henry has picked 

and placed in our hair. 

 I love every one of our picnics in the park.

I love going on adventures to the pool.

 (Although I hope next year is a little easier to handle...)

I love watching you play in the dirt with rocks and sticks for hours and hours!

I love our donut dates. 

I love hanging out at the arboretum and looking at flowers that are as big as your heads!

Playing on outdoor musical instruments.

feeding koi fish, 

and of course having a picnic there too!

But what I will miss the most is our hot summer days where I get to watch you two play in the pool

eat almost every meal outside even if it is starting to sprinkle

and hosing you off after enjoying your favorite dessert!

Thanks for the warm memories you two!
