Leah & Isaac's Wedding

Here are a few pictures from my sister's wedding in June. All my siblings are married off now. Hard to believe we are all grow up and making lives for ourselves. Now for Noah and Leah to have kids and join Adam and I in the parent scene. :)

Fireworks!

We went to Donny's sister and brother-in-law's house for fireworks on the 4th of July and the kids all had a turn at roman candles.

Daniel wanted to help dad light fireworks. Well I guess we start them young :)

Fishing with Daddy

Donny was home for the 4th of July and took us all fishing. We had a pretty good time and at least caught a couple so the kids new what it was about.

Enjoying time with Dad & New family pet

We have been adjusting to daddy being away from us but we enjoyed a nice long weekend with him last week. He has been driving truck now for about 6 weeks. We miss him when he is gone. The kids and I enjoyed very much having him home for 5 days.

Donny inherited a new family pet while on his last trip. He came home with an iguana. The kids decided to name him "Larry" so they call him Larry the lizard. Donny had 1 when we first got married that was 3 times this size but it died. So we will see how mom does at taking care of this 1 and if he can outlive the kids' attention:)

New adventure

My husband recently quit his job of 13 plus years at his family dairy and bought a truck with his friend. They are going to do long haul trucking. The dairies have been slow with the economy and they thought they would do this for a few years. So of course Daniel and Nicolas are thrilled about dad's new truck. Here are a few pictures.

Easter

The kids enjoyed coloring real eggs, easter egg hunting, and learning the true meaning of Easter at church on Easter morning. We missed the local easter egg hunt because it snowed. But they got one in at our friends' house where we enjoyed our easter meal.

Easter egg hunting.

More easter eggs. Looks like Daniel is way ahead.

Easter outfits from Grandma G.

Coloring easter eggs. Nicolas is a little to young to get into this and mostly just enjoyed smashing the hard boiled egg and making a mess.

Riding bike

My friend and I have been riding bike together with the kids lately to give them something to do and us some exercise. Her bike looks the same as mine. We both pull doubles with 3 kids behind each of us, so 6 kids altogether. We go to the park and back or just ride for fun. We get lots of looks but we have tons of fun together. It has been 45-50 degrees here lately and with no wind and sun it is pretty nice.
