Maggie is One....

...and could soon be meeting her new sibling! We have had a busy August and if we make it just a few more days we will get by with just one baby in August. A few more days and we can have us a September birthday as well.

Been Awhile....

I am actually doing really well with keeping up on our scrapbooking - but I sometimes forget to post here!

See a little of what we have been up to since June!

And finally Miss Maggie will be ONE in less than 2 weeks so we did her One year session (knowing baby 2 may be not too far behind that): https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.671681209526462.1073741839.193718977322690&type=1&l=db46cbc339

So much more headed our way - can't wait to see what the month of August brings!

Maggie's First Trip to the Hills

We went to Daddy's favorite places in all the world for the first time with our little Maggie! She loved it - we enjoyed our time with family there - including Aunt Jill & Uncle Kenton. It was like we got a little early Anniversary present as we celebrated 3 years of mostly wedded bliss this week!

Diggin Holes

Landscaping

We shared some outside family time yesterday as we started some landscaping around the house. We put the dirt back in front of the picture window and started building the rock wall around it! Maggie stayed in baby jail for about 20 minutes and the calves across the yard cried because they were hungry and Maggie would yell back at them! Pretty sure she was telling those calves to "hold their horses - Daddy would bring the milk soon enough."

Lots more work ahead of us.... but at least we are started now!

Baby Jail!

Got our flowers pots planted - Maggie only ate a little dirt!

The start of our rock wall - Jon & I could do this professionally! I pick the rocks and tell him where to put them!

We worked late last night - had one crabby Maggie, a tired Mommy, an unsettled baby and a very hungry Daddy - but what great family time! My back is reminding me of it still....

Our Little Farmer

Raining on Maggie's Parade!

The parade at the Tulip Festival in Orange City, IA was great yesterday! My daughter enjoyed the bands the best but when it started raining….she took the opportunity to sing her heart out! No way was it going to rain on her parade….
