Where to start?

We've got a stander!

Doing yoga, complete with her "yoga mat"!

Took a trip to the zoo.....Maggie really had fun!

She did wake up for some of the time though!

We went with Abby, Nick and Ben, he was a little more interested in the ladies than the dolphins! :)

The fierce tiger!

Can't believe I can say we've been friends for almost 30 years......

Gretta and Grandma Peggy's lipstick.

And her first pedicure, given by me!

Oh park, finally we can visit you again!

Maggie can now participate at the park....swings are her favorite!

Gretta is growing up so fast, she just goes on everything (including the climbing wall you see to the left) all by herself.....

Another baby!

Congratulations to our friends Beau and Jess on their newest arrival, Kiley Lynn, who joins big brother Devin! She was born May 9, a little belated Mother's Day present! Looks like her and Maggie might have to have a hair competition!

 

She has a little bit of pneumonia, so the girls didn't get to meet her quite yet, but she's on the mend and I'm sure they'll be playing together in no time!

We met him in St. Louis!

We got to meet our new nephew and godson Matthias this past week down in St. Louis!

Took our 2nd roadtrip as a family and it went well!

Molly and Elden also got the news they will be spending the next year in MN for Elden's vicarage!

Got to see (and play) with the sword of Josh's Great-great grandfather at the Concordia Historical Society.

Maggie got to try out swimming for the first time!

We could barely keep Gretta from the pool, she truly loved it!

What a smiley little boy Matthias is!

The cousins!

Might be trouble later.....

Grandma and Grandpa with their brood.

A fast, but wonderful trip!

Lastly, it was a Happy Mother's Day for me on my first as a mom of 2!

Computer back=TONS of pictures!

A few more Easter pics.....decorating eggs!

Sorry, they were too cute in these dresses and although I already posted some, I looked through the million or so other ones and had to add a couple more!

And our one nice day last week was spent outside having a picnic,

Going on a wagon ride and

Playing with sidewalk chalk!

Then when it got cold and rainy we spent time inside riding bike with a crown of course.

Maggie got a turn with it too, everyone deserves to be a princess after all.

Someone turned 8 months while my computer was gone.....

She does this one quite alot, the bear walk? Super climber?

So many things

Thought we'd give you another video installment of these girls, my computer is still out so a video is easier to do than pictures right now and of course more fun for those of you that live far away and don't get to see them in action! They are growing way too fast! So in this video we have Gretta riding a tricycle, Maggie trying to as well, Gretta's doing somersaults, they both are doing something we'll call stroller racing and Maggie's trying to crawl or climb, a little mix of both! She will probably be on the move soon......yikes!
