Our trip to Iowa



Molly and A.J. shared a birthday while we were in Iowa, much fun!!



The cake so beautifully prepared by Grandma.........



A new walking stick that I found for my collection :-)


And of course we celebrated Mother's day while we were on vacation. (I think mom liked her new dress :-)

Connor and Brooke...



Lizzy and Kait with cousins Kelsey and Jessica



Grandpa, Lizzy and Grandma before our cousin's wedding, in which Elizabeth played "Canon in D" for the processional......



Picnic time!!!




Grandpa, Molly and a very tired Connor.

The girl's new haircuts!

Recently Molly and Emily each got twelve inches of their hair cut off for an organization called "Locks of Love". "Locks of Love" uses the hair to make wigs for kids who are going through leukemia and other problems. I can tell you one thing though,... it took us other kids a few minutes to get used to their new haircuts when they got home!!



Molly has received a lot of comments on how cute she looks with short hair!!




And Emily looks "adorable" too :-)

Last of the zoo pics:


Luke and Austin think that they are monkeys!...



Having fun at the animal wall!!


The walruses were huge, but very graceful in the water!!
