Enjoying the Fall-like Weather . . .

Taking pic's of the squirm worm.



Shucking super yummy Iowa Sweet Corn.



This Iowa girl turned Madrileña has found her true roots.



Poppin' bubbles.



Makin' bubbles



Makin' a fool of herself while poppin' bubbles . . .



Julie explaining to Jesse how the it was just an accident . . .
(Don't worry . . . Jesse wasn't really mad. :) )



Link Up



The family that bounces together, stays together.



Sometimes Jesse is dumbfounded by his 2 girls.



Hangin' on for dear life. It was just that kind of a weekend.

Enjoying a Saturday . . .

Who better to draw with than Grandpa the art teacher?



Renae loves to draw.



And ride her bike! (With arm floaties of course)



Daddy's turn to steer . . .



What a cheeser.



Mommy's turn to steer.



Sammy's turn for a diaper change.



Sammy sat looking the window for about 20 minutes. He loved watching Grandpa mow. Such a boy.

Enjoying the Splash Pad

Do you see it?

Kitchen Remodel Video!

The daughter-in-law phantom blogger strikes again! This time it's the state side Masson DIL. You can thank me later, but keep checking this blog over the next few days . . . I've got loads of pictures scheduled to post for your viewing pleasure!-Julie

Family time

In the Book of Ruth, there is an exchange bewteen a daughter-in-law and mother-in-law that you may be familiar with. This is pretty much how it went:

But Ruth said, "Don't force me to leave you; don't make me go home. Where you go, I go; and where you live, I'll live. Your people are my people, your God is my god. Your blog is my blog..."

Okay, so maybe I added that last part. But it's very appropriate for today as I am blogging on Penni's behalf so you can see pictures of the time she and Kevin were able to spend with Jesse and Julie's family recently.

Renae braves it alone


Daddy helping his little girl...after crashing with her face into the hard, icy snow


Renae enjoying her first MUG of hot chocolate (after sledding). It was a Christmas ornament someone gave me years ago, and I thought Renae would enjoy drinking from a mug. She loved it!
