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!
Checking things out!

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!

New Lawn Equiptment!

On Sunday when we got home from West Bend (Sara's wedding stuff!) we cleaned up a bit and went to Sears to find a new lawn mower! And of course, we did! Can't wait to try it out! The one we had was pretty old, some good friends of ours gave it to us before we were married when we had our two separate houses in FD! So its time to retire it! We also bought a new spreader when we were there too! The spreader we have I got last summer for a quarter at a garage sale and I think we used 2 times, so I think we got our money's worth out of it!

Kyle getting our new toy out of the box...it was SUPER heavy!

I think I had to end up helping....too heavty! Notice Abby in the background keeping an eye on things!

This is what she does over and over again! She jumps up and tries to get the pillow out of the bay window, she loves to paly with it! I came up earlier that day and she had tore a TON of the stuffing out of it, looked like it had snowed in our living room!

Kyle checking out the new mower!
