Grillin' Time!

So I am ready for summer! I bought some smoked Iowa chops the other night at the grocery store and couldn't wait to cook em up!! Grilling is one of my favorite ways to cook! They turned out great and with pineapple they are "to die for"! Happy Summer everyone!!!

Finally!

So we've been in our house for almost three years now and this hall closet has been the "catch all" spot and it always drove me nuts!! So I finally did something about it, and now its all nice and organized!! I even have extra space on the top shelf!!!

Girls Nite Out!

My sister, Mindi and I met our friend Leanne for dinner and drinks one night at Lomitas! It was nice just to catch up and have some "girl talk"!

Mindi ordered this weird thing that comes in this giant bowl...she said it was good!

Barnstormers Win!!!

The Barnstormers had another home game and it was great, we won!!! Someone who plays defense got hurt and so Tim had to step in and play for him and the very first play Tim intercepted and ran it back for at touchdown!!! It was super exciting and Kyle and I had better seats this time, on the 15 yard line (which is like the 30 yard line on a normal field) and about 6 rows up!!! Too much fun!!! :) Can't wait for the next one on the 10th!!

Our Barnstormer mascot!

The team at the beginning of the game....intros are pretty cool! They shut all the lights off and have fireworks!!

Cousins & Puppies!

The same day that Mindi and I hung pics at her house we heard Don & Sherawn (my cousins) were about done with their new kitchen! So of course we had to go over and check it out! Some of the pics are a little blurry (I let my little cousin take the pics!), but you can at least see how AMAZING it looks!!

Toni & Abby (Toni was the flowergirl in my wedding almost 3 years ago!!)
Abby & Daisy (my cousin Jill's dog). They sniffed each other and played!

Sisterly Bonding!

My sister Mindi had me come down to her place and we started hanging some pics at her place! We didn't make it very far in comparision to how much she has to hang, but we at least started!!

Mindi showing off her carpenter skills!

I love my sister! The finished product!
This is what Cleo (her 20lb cat) was trying to do while we were busy working! He doesn't quite fit in Abby's (my 6lb dog!) kennel.

Iowa Barnstormers

Kyle's cousin, Tim Dodge, plays for the Iowa Barnstorms. On April 12th we went to their opening home game! It was a TON of fun! They didn't win, but we had a good enough time that Kyle and I are going to get tickets for the rest of the season!

The players afterwards, they always meet in the middle and pray!
