AZ Cousins

Our first day we got to stop in and see Mark, Mariley, Jens and the newest family member Kale. Jens and Mariley had to go to swim lessons so we got to hang out with Mark and Kale. 6-12-08
Michael loves anything smaller than him, and he's usually great with them too.


Michael and Aaron Joseph got to hang out on 6-20-08, Michael even got to go and spend the night at their house in Maricopa.

Well it's official! I am part of the blogging world! Everyone else's adorable blogs made me want to join in.

Our home in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
(Still getting to shovel the driveway in February.)



Yesterday, Michael had yet another snow day so we borrowed the cousin's here in Iowa and had a fun day. Noah is 10, Ashlyn is 5, and of course Michael is 5 too, then there is the ever so adored Grace who is 10 months. We went to The Playstation. The Playstation is awesome it's a ton of Burger King and McDonald's type play places all in one. They say it's 12,000 feet of climbing, jumping, and running fun. We stayed for 5 hours! Even Grace got in on the fun. She loved it, till she was done. We all had a blast!

The roads were terrible and travel was not advised but, we just went really slow and stayed very far away from EVERYONE else. We got there safe and sound and got home safe and sound. I guess I am getting pretty good at driving in the Iowa weather.

Oh and we also stopped at Walmart to get a couple things for dinner. I made breakfast for dinner. We had O.J, chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream, and bacon. They all loved it. After, dinner we sat the kids down to watch Barnyard, even Bootie wanted to join in with the cousin's. They all had a great time, and we can't wait to do it again.
