Last month a really good friend of mine and our family were finally able to get together and have our family picture updated. Our last picture was taken when Whitney was 18 months old. So we were due! Here is the product of all our efforts. I really like the new pictures, I think we all clean up pretty well! Thanks Chrissy for taking our picture, you do great work and hopefully we can do this again!
We are what we are...

Fun with our Family: October 2011
In October we were so blessed to have family come and visit us. Since Des Moines is sort'a in the middle Bill and Amanda just had to come "up" and Charlie and Evelyn and Mom just came "over". We tried to have a plan and fill our time with loads of activities, and I think it worked. The cousins played so great! It was a lot of fun to see them get together and find out what kind of plays we would see this time around. And I must say the kids did not disappoint! It was just so much fun to sit back and watch them do what kids can do best. And that is use their wonderful imaginations! We got to see them play on the trampoline, and Uncle Charlie even got in on that action!!!
Of course without a fence in our backyard we all kind'a had to be on our toes to kids little ones in the yard! Thanks Grandma for all you do, it was so much fun to have you come!
Remember I was talking about their creative imaginations??? Check out these bloody noses, done of course with lip gloss! All part of the play!
Here the whole troup got to go to the soccer game! Once again such great weather for kite flying and soccer ball playing!
Then we got to celebrate Pappa Ross' birthday by sending him our love on balloons! A great family tradition!
It was a very windy day! But all our love got sent on it's way (I should have been a poet or a Hallmark card writer...)
This was everyone after our super busy Sat. Sorry but I didn't have pictures of the pool party, but it was a lot of fun too!!!
This was the kiddos before the bigger kids got to go out to dinner. Grandma and Audrey managed the fort and said everyone pretty much tuckered out after the movie! Thanks Grandma and Audrey for letting us big kids go out to play, we had a great time at dinner!

Some Arkansas Time
In May we were fortunate enough to visit some family in the great State of Arkansas. Bill and Amanda were so nice to let us Iowa Ross' invade their space and enjoy their lovely home. We had such a wonderful time and the kids enjoyed seeing each as well. Aunt Amanda had the great idea as to provide crafts for the girls. So they came away with, as Whitney calls it, decorated flip flops.
Sleeping arrangements were cozy, but these cousins couldn't have been happier!
Thanks so much Amanda, Bill, Kelsey, Riley, and Brendley, we really enjoyed our trip and hope to see you all again in the near future!

Fun time with our cousins
We were so lucky to have Joe and Samantha come and visit us for a few days. It has become our summer tradition. We tried to pack in as much fun as we could in the few days they were here. Water park, state captitol, water balloons, and doughnuts. (Can't forget bowling and snow cones) It is always a fun time to have them come and spend time with us! Thanks Joe and Sam (and Charlie and Evelyn)
