Big girl car seat!

Lyla turns 1 next week so we got her new car seat and turned her forward-facing! Poor thing was so cramped in the rear-facing seat. Now she has room to kick up her heels! She loves riding like a big girl and being able to see Mommy!

Happy 7 year Anniversary to us!

It's been 7 years since our wedding day! It's incredible the changes our lives have gone through in that time! One thing that has stayed the same is our love for each other and our commitment to keeping our marriage happy and strong. Cheers to us!

Cotton Candy Cutie

Here are the series of pics of Lyla getting her first taste of cotton candy! Sweet!

Ankeny Summerfest

I took Avery & Lyla to Ankeny Summerfest on Friday and it was SO HOT! We got there right at 5:00 when the carnival opened so we didn't have to wait in any lines or deal with a crowd. Crowded carnival and double stroller do not mix! Anyway, here are the pics of Avery having fun on the kiddie rides.

Bath Fun!

Hail to the Chief (Resident)!

Finally! Brian has begun his 5th and final year of surgery residency! As of July 1st he is Chief Resident, along with the 2 other Seniors. It has been a hard 4 years, and this year won't be much easier, but I am SO PROUD of my Hubby. Here are a few pictures from after the Grad Banquet, Good times!

The Chiefs!
The fabulous Wives of the Chiefs
The beautiful women who love the Surgery Residents!

Happy 4th of July!

Gramma & Grampa were here for the weekend and we went to the parade which was a huge fiasco. Mean, big kids were pushing and grabbing for that crappy parade candy and made Avery so upset! But look at how pretty she was before it started! :)
