Alright, so if you're just checking my blog....the last 6-7 posts are all in reverse order so scroll down and start with "And we were off!" I got wayyyy behind with the blog since Iowa and this was the easiest way to catch up without me throwing a computer out the window! We had a great time in Iowa. The boys feel so at home there - Hunter cried 1/2 of the way back on the airplane and still says "I don't want to come back to Phoenix." I'm 110% sure if they could drive, they'd have driven off back to Iowa by now with all of their stuff to stay forever! We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends who make us feel so at home there. Although we weren't ready to come back, life has moved forward and all is well! Boys are in San Fransisco and I'm just catching up like always.

Enjoy!






Happy 4th of July!













Uncle Ryan took the kids to pick out a few really exciting fireworks! The tanks, the racecars, the snakes and such. I think we got the "defective" bunch but the kids still thought they were super cool of course! Thanks, Uncle Ryan!


"Herweyer Hoo Ha" Family Reunion

I was thinking I had Hunter in one of these pictures but I guess not :(


My little fish

Konnor loves the slides anywhere we go!
We were able to attend the "Herweyer Hoo Ha" which was a reunion of my Grandmother's side of the family. It's been 15+ years since I've seen many of these people so it was really nice to catch up and see my Grandmother with all her siblings and their families. We are so blessed to come from such a wonderful family and even more blessed that my Grandmother has so many of her brothers and sisters still living and healthy! Thanks, Grandma! We had a wonderful time.





Boating and Road Trips

She's so cute.

Konnor and Jake..."ready to ride the waves!"

Quinn not quite used to the lifevest yet


Quinn and Mommy on our road trip date!


The kids had a blast on the boat - thanks Uncle Ryan! I also got to take a day of road tripping with my Mom, sister and Quinn while Konnor and Hunter were in the truck with Grandpa. We went to Okoboji, had lunch and walked around and then off to Estherville to see what Mom and Dad's new house will look like - which was wonderful of course!! It was a fun day and great to spend some time with just Quinn for once. He enjoyed his day with the girls as well :)

Well, these are all going to be in backwards order but my jumbled up, tired mind doesn't feel like posting them all in reverse order! Just some pictures from our trip - they pretty much explain themselves. We just hung out, played, went to the Lakes, went swimming, had lots of good meals with Great Grandma and Great Grandpa, boys got to do some trucking, and of course, you will see pictures of the tournament which was a huge success, thanks to everyone's support! We had great weather the entire time we were back. It was hard to return to the 115 degree temps we are having!!

Enjoy!
