Celebrate Good Times....Come On!!

Kyle and I went out with the Millers (Mark & Kathy) last night to celebrate that the Simple Simon building has sold!!!! We went to Sport's Page and had a really nice time!!! And Kyle got free fried ice cream because someone said his birthday isn't too far away (and they sang to him!)!! He was excited about that!!

Enjoying his Free Fried Ice Cream!!

Yummy!!
Mark & Kathy...great friends!!
This was when we got home, but I had to add it!!

It's starting to feel like summer!

We made it home from Wisconsin in time to go to a friend's graduation party on Sunday! It was so nice out! I am excited for summer!

Wisconsin

My sisters Mindi and Wendi and my Mom and I all went to Wisconsin this past weekend for my cousin Elizabeth's graduation. We stopped and shopped on the way (found lots of great deals!) and then got to Wisconsin on Friday night. It was great to see Elizabeth and spend time with her! Over a two night period we got about 8 hours of sleep because we always stayed up late having "girl talk"!!! Tons of fun and brings back so many memories!! I hope everyone had a great weekend and a good start to your work week!

Mom and her girls....minus Stef! Notice she is having an "emotional moment"!

Do I look like the lunch lady or what....I borrowed some shoes from my cousin so I could do the Nordic Trak and they noticed I looked like the lunch lady!!

Wendi and Me on this really cool "mini teater-totter" at Ikea! We had to stop there on the way home!

Happy Mother's Day

We had a busy Mother's Day! Went to church in the morning and then had lunch with the Bangert's at Bonanza! Then hurried and got the house together and my mom and Duane, Mindi, and Preston came over for supper! It was a good time though and I have to say the food was great! We had smoked Iowa chops, green bean casserole, dinner rolls, strawberry pretzel salad, and triple chocolate cake and ice cream for desert!! Yummy!!! Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day and made time for their Moms!!

Ready to eat!!

New Kitchen Floor

Last week we purchased new laminate wood flooring for our kitchen and didn't delay installing it! Kyle did it in a day and did a great job! We hope to refinish our cabinets this summer too so it will really give our kitchen a facelift!!

Making progress! You can see our old vinyl flooring here too!

Kyle's sister Sarah had her baby in April! Her name is Arianna Nichole! Just wanted to share a few pics!

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!!!
