Miss sassy face!

Nauvoo Temple

It's always the best day when Michael and I can get away from the kids and go to the temple!!

The fair that never ends....

Isn't Bradford the cutest little farmer ever!!! Cali and Bradford both loved 'Little hands on the Farm' at the fair. It was honeslty the best part for us, oh and those tractors!!! How cute are those.

Iowa State Fair

Wow!! It really is the biggest fair!! We couldn't even see it all in one day! But thats all the time we had so I guess we will have to go again next year and see the other half! And of course get something on a stick to eat-because everything at the fair comes on a stick!! Even pork chops!! Go figure!

We wanted to share our most recent family photos we took at the Waterworks Park here in Des Moines. The experience was amazing, there were endless rows of blooming trees of varying colors and hues.

Calista loved dressing up in her newest spring dress and hide among the flowers. She is adorable; more so when she is not running away from us as fast as she can yelling "you can't catch me..."

Bradford loves being outside! Even the shortest excursions we make outdoors get him in a groovy mood. Here he is enjoying the floral arangements the trees provided. We can't wait until we get to take him outdoors for our next activity; he is growing up sooo fast.

Alison and I wanted to get some "us" photos, so we let Calista run around the park (we had to keep reminding her to stay close and not to pick all of the flowers), and Bradford was chilling in the stroller (he doesn't know what to think about grass yet, and just cries when he is on the green pokey stuff.

We put more pictures of the experience for all to enjoy .

Just Bradford

He loves his blanket from grandma and grandpa Davies

Happy Brad

Dripping Brad...mouth...nose....always dripping...but still cute...

don't you just want to pinch his checks?

Crawling!!!

Finally Bradford is crawling!! I love it, he is soo super cute crawling around. I thought he would absolutely love crawling, because he could get around, but NO he really really wants to WALK! I'm sure that will happen soon......Oh, poor Cali she doesn't even know what she is in for....hahaha...attach of the baby brother...

SweetlyDone

Now that we have figured out what to do with our time when the kids are sleeping, we have decided to come out and share it. SweetlyDone is now up and running. Now you can check out what Alison is spending her time creating. If anyone has anything they would like to challenge us to create, just let us know. The tough part is trying to get all the pictures organized and put them up on the internet to share with others... there are so many, but I think I am keeping up with her now. I especially enjoy the extra time we spend with each other in the evenings.

Let's go fly a kite

Today was FINALLY a windy!! So we could go and fly the awesome kites and Grandpa and Grandma Shelton sent to us last week!! Cali has be waiting and waiting and begging and begging to fly them, but there has just been no wind, UNTIL today. So first thing this morning we bundled up and headed to a school park across the street and had a great time flying kites in the wind and rain.

Bradford loved to see the kites fly over his head, he would get soo excited, but he was a bit cold.

Michael getting Cali's Lady bug kite ready.

There is goes!
