Tuesday....

Thought this was a great photo of Tony with the kids!!



BRRRRRR its cold out there!! I want Fall before we get winter. These 45 degree nights are suppose to be in December not October!


We went to Reiman gardens the beginning of September. Kids had a great time.. really like this photo. Looks like they are talking about meeting up at that stadium in 15 years.. but of course it will only be when the Hawkeyes come to town to play *S*



Do you see anything looking at ya??

Mason has a new phrase I've caught him saying a lot lately... " Speaking of xyz...." and then he will go on about something so not related to whatever I was talking about. BUT he loves saying it, and it makes me chuckle!! I got to talk to him on the phone the other day, and since I'm home with him all the time, talking on the phone with him is rare. And it was then that I realized he is still a little boy. Talking to him in person he seems so grown up and such a big big boy, but then when we talked on the phone, it made me realize my baby is still a little guy!! One of those little things I've always taken for granted, blinked my eyes and he's already 5!!!!


Yes she is eating that in the car, and its not even cooked yet! We were on our way to the pond to cook the corn, but she couldn't wait. BUT I was not gonna stop her.. she doesn't like her vegetables so as long as she was eating a veggie, I wasn't gonna stop her!! Course, only can eat Iowa sweetcorn raw and have it taste almost as good as it does cooked




Mallory has started taking Kindermusik 1 day a week for 15 weeks. The first class she didn't want to sit still, didn't want to listen, would repeat a few things the teacher did, and really didn't want to lay down at 'quiet' time but decided it was time to scream and cry.. BUT now three classes later, she is listening a LOT better, will actually lay down at quiet time, and is copying what the teacher does. She still needs work on her sharing, as she doesn't want to do that and gets very upset when she has to share her blocks. I'm hoping that by the end of this session, she will be sharing and loving it! All of this can only make her more easy going and hopefully not so 'me me me'!!!
We got together with Tony's side of the family over Memorial day weekend. The kids had a great time and its so fun to see them getting older and interacting more and more!!! Poor little Luke looks like the 'black' sheep of the family amongst the blondies!!
