Ron's 60th Birthday

On March 1st my dad turned 60 years old and my mom threw him a party in Indiana. The party was a lot of fun, I got to see lots of family that I don't see that often. The party was an open house and we had over 70 people come. My dad got new hearing aids the morning of the party-it was a great way to break them in!!

My dad his sister Bev and brother Steve.

This is Nora at the Solon Dance show dancing to a remix of Wishing and Hoping. Sorry about the random people that stand up in front of the video camera near the end!

6 months

Time moves so fast with three little ones!

Almost crawling

Sean wants to crawl but just can't figure out how to get his belly on the floor. So instead of crawling he likes to roll all over. I am sure that it won't be long before he is crawling all over and the girls should watch out!

Really Jan??

I am not complaining but we are having the warmest Iowa winter. I am loving the fact that I don't have to bundle up my little guy all the time, and deal with jackets. I am also enjoying sending the kids outside to play in the afternoons.

This picture above was taken Jan 10 and it is 52 degrees outside. The girls did chalk in the driveway because it was so warm. LOVE IT! I am sure we are going to be paying for it during the month of Feb.!

Baby Shower

In the middle of my chaotic life I hosted a baby shower for our dear friends Nick and Courtney Ropp. They live in Virginia but were home over Christmas so I did a shower for Courtney with her family that lives here in Iowa. We had a fun time and she got some great gifts. It was the only time that we got to see them but hopefully we will see them (and baby) in June when we head out to Virginia.
