Iowa

We hung out with Nik, Nori and Nadya like old times. This time Nik's fiance, Kristi, got to join us. We had fun getting to know her.

We saw the Nikkels but again I did not get many pictures of them. So, here's Jess, Cooper and Tucker (sorry Matt). They helped us with Bible school all week then we went on a short get away to Clear Lake. It was great to spend time with them.

Nadya helped me out a lot!

Jonathan got to swim and play at the park with Cooper. Sadly I did not get a good picture of the two of them. Can you find Cooper and Jonathan on the merry-go-round.

We also saw my good friend Deb and her son Ben

We saw Jonathan and Katelyn's Great Aunt Paula and cousin Angie

Eating sweet corn for the first time.

Jonathan on the mower with Grandpa Jeff. He loves mowers!

We headed off to Iowa for the second time this summer. This time we went so I could run a Bible School for the Cedar Falls Bible conference. While we loaded up the van Jonathan got soaked in the rain. He had a great time, too bad all his dry clothes were packed up. We saw lots of family and friends while we were there. It was a fun trip!

Fourth of July

We tried to take a picture of everyone in their red,white, and blue but it was difficult to have them all looking at the same time. The poor babies aren't so sure about it all.

We did go to Southern the little boys swam and the big boys played basketball.

Over the Fourth of July Sarah, Eric, Josiah and Jack came to visit. We were pretty busy chasing our kids around and didn't take too many pictures. We taught Jack to play settlers. He's ready to take on Aunt Anita. It was a rainy weekend so we spent a lot of time inside.
