oh brother

my little 13 year old brother Jacob is here for a visit. how long? well... we don't know. so far though it has been fun. we go to the pool lots and we started watching through all the Harry Potters and then i will take him to see the last one. after that i don't really have any plans, but its summertime, you don't need plans.

 it looks like they are playing nice, but i just told them to smile real fast for me :)

laundry day

today is laundry day. mountains of laundry buried our bedroom and after tripping in the dark for a few days i decided i should get that under control. so, since we are the only apartment of the sioux city Satton group without a washer and dryer, i hauled... actually Kyle hauled the giant laundry bag and overflowing laundry basket to the car and then up the stairs to Shannon and Brenan's apartment, where i will be serving my time today. since laundry doesn't take my full attention i decided i should update our lives.

we had an excellent 4th of July full of playing at the pool, delicious bar-b-que, slip 'n slide, and fireworks (of course).

we also went to Omaha last saturday. while the boys were in there meeting and out working hard, the wives went to the zoo. then we all met up and went to the water park and ended the day with dinner at buffalo wild wings.

yay for laundry day and getting things done! this is our happy life and we are glad to be living it.
