It's been almost a year!

Well, it's been almost a year and I have been thinking about starting up blogging again! I need somthing to document my crazy life!

I have been thinking about starting up another blog...just for me. We'll see how that pans out. I got motivated after watching the movie Julie and Julia.

So, THE GIRLS!

They are growing soo much! Both started eating foods last month. Kylee has been rolling over since the end of last week. Ainslee...she thinks lying on her back is just fine with her. Somehow...I knew it would be that way. Ainslee has proven to be the laid back baby while Kylee is the one that will make me gray!

The will be 6 months old in a couple days! That seems so crazy...I can't believe that we have spent half of a year with them already! A year ago I didn't even know I was going to be having twins...and now...two wonderful baby girls!

Brayden is so awesome with them. He sings to them and is just really sweet. We'll see how it goes when they are mobile! I'm sure I'll be hearing a lot of..."Mom! They are in my stuff!" and...it will probably be Kylee.

Brayden is doing great! He is in preschool at Danbury Catholic and LOVES it! He has had a few struggles but is getting a lot better. I can not believe how much he has learned! He knows ABC's and can identify most letters...if not all. He can spell his name verbally and almost write it. The other day he counted to thirty! ..and wrote out numbers to 5. I am just AMAZED! Eventhough he has learned so much we are going to keep him in Preschool one more year. His birthday is in June so we think it would be best if he was an "older" kid in his class. Plus, he's a boy and he could use a little more maturing before entering Kindergarten.

We are thinking about putting him in tae kwan do. The Ida Grove Rec Center offers it and I think he would love it! This summer I plan on having him do swimming lessons. I might take some, too. I can swim but I would like to learn the stroaks better. Plus, it would be somthing we could do together...he doesn't get a lot of that anymore...now that he has to share! :)

Jeremy is ALMOST done with school! He will finish his RN at the end of July. So, he just has a couple more months of class then clinicals and preceptor....then THE TEST! He is a school junkie so he wants to eventually get his bachlors and possible go on for PA or NP. We'll see. Otherwise he's working at Morningside Nursing Home in Ida Grove. And does his car projects when he can squeek in time. Which hasn't been much lately.

As for me...I run back and forth between home and work. Spend time loving every moment of hugging any of my three beautiful children. Lately, I've been trying to excercise and eat a little better! It makes me feel good! I've been going to the Ida Grove Rec Center as much as I can. Today was so nice (from what it has been) I decided to go on my route around town! I mapped it out on runningmap.com and it's 3.44 miles. ...pretty much every street in Danbury. I put my Ipod on shuffle and almost every song was perfect! I am going to do a 5K the first weekend of April ...it's a go at your own pace sort of thing so it's nice for us walkers. I do want to get to the point where I can run it someday, though. A bunch of people I work with are going to do the first day of RAGBRAI this year...it's from Sioux City to Storm Lake (60 miles)!! I might be crying on the side of the road at about mile 5. haha. We'll see if I can pull something like that off!

GUESS WHAT!







YES! You can believe your eyes! We are having TWINS!



Meet Zoey





The day before Valentines Day we brought Zoey into our home! She is a rat terrier. She is a really neat dog and we have spent a month enjoying her. Brayden loves her...those two are always together. Brayden was a little rough with her in the beginning but is getting better. So, you will all be seeing a lot of pictures with Zoey in them! I am so glad that it is now spring because outside time has been nice for both Zoey and Brayden!

Bob The Builder





In February, we all took a night out and went to see Bob the Builder! We had a lot of fun....and most importantly, Brayden LOVED it! Since I bought tickets last August we had really good seats....2nd row middle isle!! Brayden didn't even talk the entire time...he loved it. Jeremy and I enjoyed ourselves, too.

Memories of Grandpa Kunze























These pictures represent some of the memories that our family had with a man we all loved. Grandpa Kunze will be missed by everyone....especially his little "Bobalouie."

Calf Weigh-In

The first Saturday in Janurary, Molly had to take her steers in to get weighed in for fair. The weigh-in is always on, what we feel like, the coldest day of winter. We got the steers weighed in and took a minute for a photo. :)

Saturday Basketball








Mom played in an MVAO alumni basketball game on the Saturday after Christmas. I couldn't make it but Molly took a lot of great pictures for me! I think they had a lot of fun!
