Rainy Day

We received some much needed rain in sweet, sweet Muscatine today. 

Allison and Sydnee are already fighting over the phone:)

Jack and Will chilling with the iPad.

Summer's here!

School ended right on time this year, thanks to no snow days.  While there were some rough days in January and February when a snow day would have been welcomed, I am so happy that we were done before Memorial Day.  On Saturday, the kids and I headed to MN for the weekend.  We had a sort of surprise party for Linda Lou.  She is 60 years young this year.

On Sunday, we went to the Truman's for an all day swimming extravaganza.  The boys eased their way into the pool and by 7:00, they were floating and walking freely in the pool.  Thanks again to Tara, Kyle, Stacey, Todd, and Shelly for the hospitality!

Shawn & Kristi's Wedding

A couple of weeks ago, we ventured to Grand Rapids to celebrate Shawn and Kristi's wedding.

Easter Weekend

On their way back from trial snowbirding in Arizona, Grandma and Grandpa Benner stayed with us for Easter weekend.
