Summer is almost over...

I can't believe it is already August and the summer is almost over. I took the camera out last night and shot some nice photos of the family. Check out some of our summer fun!

Trip up North

I was going to title this blog "4th of July" but then I looked at the date and realized it has taken me over a month to post these pictures! So instead, I will call it our "Trip up North". We had the pleasure of spending the 4th of July holiday with Gordon's parents in his hometown of Minocqua, WI. We all had a great time! Drake and Kirsten enjoyed playing with each other and they even shared a stroller seat together while watching the parade. It was raining on the 4th, but we didn't let it "rain on our parade" and we headed out to see the action! Fortunately, we found a nice spot with an overhang to protect ourselves from the elements. It was a great time! Drake also practiced hitting the baseball--after a few pointers from Nana, he was hitting the ball like a pro!

St. Louis Cardinals Baseball Trip

We recently got back from a fun filled weekend full of baseball! My Dad flew into Des Moines and we drove to Kansas City to see the Cards play the Royals. It was Kirsten's first Cardinals game and we had so much fun!! We went to 2 games and I dressed her up in a different outfit for each day. It was quite hot, but we survived the heat. The Cardinals ended up winning one game and losing one game... but a .500 record in baseball is good!

I did it!

Last week we went to an Iowa Cubs baseball game and brought the kiddos--we all had a great time, especially Kirsten and Drake! We were watching the game from the Wells Fargo box, an indoor/outdoor seating area with a kitchen etc. While watching the game, Drake had Kirsten sitting on his lap and I handed her a bag of potato chips to play with (she likes the crinkle noise). Well, she turned the open bag upside down and dumped the chips all over the floor. I saw her do it and I said "Kirsten!" However, Drake immediately said "I did it"... but I knew better! Gordon observed the whole thing and both of us thought it was so adorable that he wanted to cover for his sister and take the blame for dumping the chips onto the ground. What a great big brother!!

Summer Fun 2010!!

There have been some beautiful days here in Iowa!! Here are some photos of Daddy and Drake enjoying the weather and some water guns!! I couldn't resist taking some photos of Kirsten taking in the sun... aren't the children adorable??

Memorial Day in Las Vegas! (sorry it took so long to post)

So we took our first plane trip with a baby and... Kirsten did great! We headed to Las Vegas to attend my God-daughters high school graduation, celebrate the birthday of one of my best friends (Alexis), and spend time with family and friends.
We had an amazing time and took so many photos that it was hard to narrow them down for the ones I wanted to post! I decided to put them on a slide show so everyone could see... check out the slide show above!

Spring is here!

I was taking pictures of Kirsten in some of her Spring dresses. This one turned out great so I had to post online! She is going to be 6 months old next week--where does the time go? Kirsten is such a good little girl and is sleeping through the night! She continues to have the best disposition and puts a smile on everyones face--she is our little angel!

Easter weekend!

We had a wonderful time spending Easter with Gordon's parents, his sister Megan and her family. Seeing everyone was so much fun; we are thankful they were able to meet us in Des Moines for the holiday. We also celebrated Hailey's 2nd birthday! Megan has been uploading her photos to One True Media, which allows for us to view them as a slide show. I thought I would try it out too! I did attach a picture of all the girls in their Easter dresses, they all look so cute!
