Farmers Market!

On Saturday we went to the Downtown Des Moines Farmers Market. It was a beautiful morning (summer's here!). It was Evie's first time for the season and I think she liked really liked it. There was so much for her to look at- people everywhere, puppies, bright and beautiful flowers! She never stopped moving, looking from one thing to the next. My parents took these cute pictures...

She's teething now, so everything she can get her hands around ends up straight in her mouth. We're at two teeth and counting...

This is just the first of many more fun summer outings here in DSM!

Garden Party

Our yard has been transformed in the last few days! My parents blessed us with their vast landscaping know-how and came bearing beautiful flowers and plants now living and growing in our backyard. It looks so wonderful and we're very excited to see everything fill in and grow, grow, grow! Maybe I'm biased, but now we have the prettiest yard on the block! Here's the crew in action, working hard...

Everly's kicking it with her friends as she's helping plant flowers...

Our first blooms!

Wedding Season...

Wedding season is upon us! We have many great friends and family getting married this spring and summer, so lots of wedding to attend... It's a great time to celebrate and catch up with brothers and sisters at church we don't normally get to see. It's a blessing to see two lives brought together by the Lord and be able to share their day with them.

Here are pics of Evie in her dresses from the last two weddings...

For Jay & Jill's Wedding. Evie's admiring how pretty she looks and probably trying to figure out the best way to get the dress in her mouth :)

For Anthony & Kathy's Wedding. Daddy's holding her here. I haven't been good with getting pictures at the actual wedding, so this is when we're back home.
