June in pictures

June :

 There was a lot of progress on the house (that will be a separate post)

Jon had a week of vacation. Him & Reagan headed back on Monday night and me and Kamryn went up for the day on Tuesday. We played at the park, played outside at grandma Becki's house, realized Kamryn could climb out of her pack-n-play, had a wonderful dinner, and went to the ice cream shop!

 That same week we decided to have a little "stay-cation". We went to the Ramada Inn Waterpark in Des Moines for a night. The girls LOVED it. It was so much fun. It wasn't busy at all. We swam, ate Old Chicago for dinner, ate lots of junk food, watched The Muppets movie, swam, swam,swam....  We got up in the morning and headed back to the water. Kamryn and Reagan loved the big water slides. I didn't get any pictures because I was to busy swimming :)! It was so fun and somewhat relaxing. Reagan keeps asking when we can go back!

COUSIN TIME!!!!!!

It has been a year and a half since I have seen my brother Chad and his family. They came to Iowa for a week in June. My sister and her family just moved to Kansas so she was able to come up too. I haven't seen them in 6 months. My nephews are getting so big- I know have 7 nephews from age 17 to 3 months. LOVE THEM ALL!! It was fun to get to spend some time playing with them. It was a little chaotic, but I wouldn't change that.  We went swimming, played outside, played inside, went to the cupcake shop, and hung out. We went up to my Grandma's house for a bbq on fathers day. It was fun to see all the kids interact together!!

We were glad to have them all here for a bit and we cried a lot when they all left. Reagan wished they could be here all the time!

7 years and still going strong!

We celebrated our 7 year anniversary on June 25. We celebrated like any older, boring couple building a house would do- we went furniture shopping. We went for a romantic walk down the aisles in Homemakers and American. We did go out for a nice dinner at Granite City. We came home and put the girls to bed then headed up to the new bar in town for a drink. We left at 8 and got home at 12:30. We went up with some friends and ran into a few more friends. We had fun just chatting with adults and Jon kicked my but at Big Buck Hunter. It was a wonderful way to end the night, made us feel not as old (until the next morning :)
