Snow on March 24th

Its April 1st and no fools there is still snow on the ground in NE Iowa.  Of course not as much as last weekend, but still snow!  Monkey didn't want to snowmobile much- I don't think she wanted to wear her helmet- so she rode her "sled" behind dad.  I don't know if its officially a sled but its fun!!!  I don't know who had more fun dad or her!!!

 Easter Morning!   The Easter bunny arrived with lots of stuff for both Monkeys!  We had to get everything out right away and play!!!!

 Of course we could both take a good picture together so here you go!!!

Happy Valentines Day!

Or the day after!  So its been a while since I posted.  I need to start posting everyday again.  I really love to blog and put great things up here, but of course with two very busy little ones and a very busy teaching career its hard to find time!  So here is a special post with our valentine's card and some of their 3 year/ 6 month pics.  There are lots more of the Little Monkey- Big Monkey just got her's taken first!

This could be my favorite picture of Big Monkey

Fall Photos!

Here is a sneek peek of the girls' fall photos!  We had fun, even though it was a bit breezy and cool!  Harper was more interested in the looking down at her seat than the camera!  I will be editing her 3 month pics this week too!
