Whit's End

Here are the last pictures. While Valerie and Stephanie were here we went to Whit's End at Focus on the Family.
We all had a great time and there was so much to do. Here are some pictures.

Here is everyone except the boys going down the three story slide.

Special Surprise

Last Tuesday night we received a very special surprise. Our dear friends Valerie and Stephanie surprised us all with a visit for a week. Come to find out they had this surprise planned since the beginning of January. We had such a great time together after not seeing each other in over three months. We are so grateful for your girls' friendship and we miss you so much already!

"One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood."

We love you girls! See you in May!

Catch Up

Well, since I haven't posted in such a long time this is just going to be a post with some pictures of what we have been doing lately.

I will start with the end of December to beginning of January. I had the privilege of going to Phoenix AZ to celebrate my birthday with my grandparents.

1.) My grandma and I went to a production of Annie, then went to the Cheesecake Factory.

2.) We went on a hike at Pinnacle Peak, then to my favorite hamburger joint In-n-Out.

3.) Drove to Sedona in the Corvette.

 

 

 

4.) And we went to the Musical Instrument Museum. That was AWESOME!



This is Joshua Bell's first violin. If you haven't heard of him, he is an amazing violinist.


Last weekend we had a visit from some friends we met when we first moved to Iowa.
