Exciting Weekend

We had a crazy weekend! We started it off with Emma's Dance recital. We went to her rehearsal at the Sami center. She was in 5 dances!! She did great!

Then on Saturday we headed to Holstein for Chad's cousin Pam's wedding.

 This pretty much sums up the night. Cora sticking her face in cupcakes and Kendal being a goof ball:) The girls had a great time at the wedding reception eating candy, cake, drinking root beer and dancing the night away!

 Then we celebrated Mason's 16th birthday. Kendal trying to flash everyone:)

Then we ended the day at the Holstein Pool with Lillian and Meghann. The girls met Oliver for the first time. I think Cora and Oliver kind of liked each other:) They were super cute!

Happy Birthday Daddy

Today we celebrated Daddy's 33rd Birthday! What a great day! Perfect weather, no work for mom or dady and 2 healthy happy little girls!! The girls and I spent the morning playing and taking fun pics for Daddy while he golfed. Then mom and dad went out for lunch and golfed in the afternoon. Then we got the girls from Daycare and went for a bike ride to the golf course of supper then road to the baseball game. A perfect Day for our very special Daddy!!!

Kendal loves making Ruger smile!

The girls love golfing... or goofing around at the golf course!

We had soo much fun today!! We love you soo much Daddy!!! Your the best!

Preschool Program

 Kendal had her preschool program at Carousel on Monday. She was a little sad when we told her she was done with school and that she would start a new school next year. She cried and said she wanted Darcy and Mary ( her teachers now) So we have to go visit this summer and next year when Cora goes:)

The itsy bitsy spiders

Kendal and her buddy Madeline! We car pooled with Madeline this year so the girls became really close and really good friends. This was their pic on the last day of school:( But they will be in the same class next year and plan on going to swimming lessons and bible school together this summer.

Weekend In Des Moines

We went to Des Moines this past weekend to visit Brenda, Chuck, Maura and Cale but before I get into our weekend adventure I need to update you on the latest and greatest of the girls. So Lately..the girls have been into wearing each others clothes. This is just one photo of them swaping PJ'. So it makes for interesting morning on wardrobe selection. Kendal has so many clothes and it has been a battle to get her dressed in teh AM. She stands in her closet and debates on what to wear and always ends up wanting a Hanna Montana t-shirt I bough on clearance after christms:)

Cora is still a little crazy but getting a little better. She has been wearing big girl panties with no accidents for almost 2 weeks now!! Perfect..give us a little break from diapers until October:)

Cora is ready for summer, she could live in the water!

Yes we let her out of the house like this..we choose our battles and her wordrobe is not one of them!

Cora really did wear a dress by choice!!

Cale got out his Micky Mouse costume for the girls!

We went to Des Moines this weekend to watch Maura dance and Cale play baseball and go to the zoo. We had great weather and a great time! Maura and Cale did awesome.

 We had great weather for the zoo. Kendal was soo excited for the giraffes and Cora wanted to see an elephant. We had one really happy girl so we had to tell Cora they were sleeping..

One Happy Mommy

We could not have asked for better weather this weekend. We took the girls out golfing yesterday and it was beautiful out. They drove the Barbie Car while we golfed. We got 5 holes in, the only reason we had to stop was b/c we were hungry for lunch!

Catching bugs with our new bug nets from Grandma Sharon.

 Getting ready for Kendal's Big Dance Recital! Grandma Sharon came up early to get her all bedazzled. This time Cora wanted to participate and get some rollers in her hair.

Kendal the diva and Cora the little goof ball! Perfect!

Kendal so excited to dance!
