Man Kelly's Creations

For Kelly's birthday he got a smoker.  We had friends over for dinner so he created an apple glazed smoke pork loin.

It was truly amazing.

Here is the entire masterpiece.

Next we bought an ordinary map and attached to foam board, stained wood trim and Kelly created a frame.

We added push pins to the places that we have been. It is a great learning experience for Kadance.  She loves looking at where we are going and where we are headed.

Spring Break in the Twin Cities

For Spring Break this year we packed our bags and drove up to Minneapolis. We stayed at the Radisson that housed its own waterpark. We also went to the Mall of America were we rode all the rides.

Then back at home we went Ice Skating. She was a natural.

Baby You're a Firework!!

We spent our 4th of July in the summer heat! We attended the Urbandale Parade in the morning, the carnival in the afternoon and the fireworks in the evening.

Kadance tired to stay cool in the shade before the parade started.

Kadance and I rode the Hurricane.

Kadance rode the Tilt-a-Whirl 2xby herself.

 It is hard to see in the pictures but Kadance made a friend at the fireworks.  Olivia gave her the glow in the dark necklace and they did sparklers together.

Summer 2011 so far.....

Kadance has learned to ride on two wheels!!

This took much practice and a few bandaids but we made it!

This year Kadance was able to touch in the pool at Laura's.

She is even becoming a bit more brave in the water.

We just finished up a week at swimming lessons at the Ankeny pool.

Kadance absolutely loved it, can't wait for next year already.

Kadance gets to spend her Tuesdays with her cousin Cate and Aunt Kristy!
