Happy Days!

We have taken so time off from the blog. Sorry about that :) We haven't really been doing a whole lot. Random trips back to see the family is about all. I was able to go and see one of my best friends Rachel in Des Moines last week as well. It was nice to get in a shopping trip too! The boys have been great. Jase is talking a lot more and really starting to pick up on things Jeff and I say and do. We will have to start watching what we say :) Tyce is a growing boy. He started eating cereal this month and can feed himself his own bottles. He is very aware when his mom and dad are in the room or not. Poor guys doesn't like to be left alone. He lets us know that though!! The little big man is growing up :) Something else exciting is that my sister is officially back for good...well at least we get her here for two years anyway! The boys and I are going to see her today. We can't wait. Jase says "wow wee" every time I tell him we are going somewhere. I could tell him we are going to a cave full of bats and he would still say "wow Wee" It is so funny!
We have been able to get outside a lot more lately with the weather cooperating so that has been great! Hope everyone is having a great long weekend!!


As you can see...we have found the mud!


We love the water table








Cereal for the little man...not really sure about it yet.




Oh wait....we like anything in our mouth







Tyce can do it all by himself!


Some more exciting news is that we BOUGHT OUR FIRST HOUSE! We know Grinnell is where we belong so we thought we would start looking at houses to buy instead of continuing to rent. It was time. We love our neighborhood and luckily a house we like up the road went on the market. We looked at it a few times, made a bid and it was ours! We can't wait to move. We close the 17th of June so packing has been the topic of our conversations lately!
