DAVENPORT!!

We had a very full weekend in Davenport. On Friday, the kids ran the JrBix - they had a great time, check out Candi's Website for more info and pictures!





Reese, Hallie, Levi and Taylor in their racing gear!

We visited the Devine side on Saturday and had an absolute blast!








Grandpa Devine and Taylor and Levi singing their ABCs for Aunt Sue and Grandma Trudie!









Then we headed to Candi's house for dinner (Jessie was there too), but even the scrapbooking queen didn't get her camera out! We finished up Sunday with a big dinner at Great Grandpa and Connie's before making the 6 hour journey back home. We sure were glad to see everyone, and in spite of the long car ride, it's always worth it.

Not just for Bridal Showers Anymore!

So what do you do when your toilet paper has been strung all over the house by a playful three year old? Play dress up, duh! Hopefully this doesn't reinforce the behavior (although I'm sure we'll have to have a discussion later about why we can't do it again) It was fun, and I'm totally bringing a case on Labor day, we can do boys vs. girls it'll be way fun!

The Amazing Spider-man!

Grandma Carol had a great find this summer at a garage sale, A REAL SPIDER-MAN SUIT. I'm sure it's real - not your average Halloween costume - because since we've acquired the suit Spider-man has graced our house almost everyday! Thank you Grandma Carol for hours of fun!

Hairdos

Levi came up with some wonderful hairdos for the wedding. Let me know what you think.

JULY

I realize it's been a while since I posted, but honestly, not too much to take pictures of around here. I did get a new job!! YES!! I start August 6th at Mercy!! We haven't been doing a whole lot, we spent a weekend in Grandma Carol's pool - I was too busy swimming to take a picture though, and we visited Grandpa and Nana yesterday. I finally put some of Levi's pictures on to my computer and was excited about some of the results (Clearly, I took some of the pictures). Here's his slide show.

Happy 4th of July!

I don't have pictures to post, but I wanted to wish you all a happy fourth (I know it's a little late, but the neighbors here are still celebrating with fireworks so I figured it wasn't that late). Tuesday Jake and I went to a Sioux City explorers (baseball) game - they're horrible, but it was kinda fun and I finally got a big pretzel - I've been craving one for weeks! We got rained on and wimped out in the 5th inning! Wednesday we drove down to Ida Grove and went golfing and then took Levi to the fireworks in Battle Creek - for being such a small town they always put on a good show! I still have absolutely no idea what we're going to do this weekend - Grandma Carol is coming up for dinner tonight, and I have to work at 11. Monday I have a job interview at Mercy - cross your fingers!

THE BIG PARADE

Sioux City's Mardi Gra celebration was this weekend! There was a carnival and the BIG parade. It wasn't as big as Holstein's, but included giant balloons! We had fun watching it.



We also met Robi and Ashley at the Omaha Zoo on Saturday, unfortionatly I forgot to recharge my camera's battery after the parade. I did get one shot of Brandon (Ashley's son) and Levi looking at a gorilla.
