Mother's Day


A nice picture of Mommy and Aubrey before church!

Dan and Andrea dedicated Noah today at their church,
so we spent the day in Indianola.

The Palmer and Kaisand crew who were able to make it.

She thought it was fun to pull up a stool for a photo-op!

Aubrey loved getting up close to Baby Noah!

I think Aubrey/Dan's Dad snuck a pic of us :)

After the dedication, we went to lunch at the Brick House in Indianola!
Aubrey enjoyed her Mac N Cheese!

(Great) Grandma Betty with Noah 

Aubrey has this new obsession lately with
taking all her toys and boxes and anything else she can find
and lining them up in the living room.
Ugh!

She has fun bringing everything in and that way it's all close :)

Overall it was a nice day. 
Dedication of Noah. Out to lunch at the Brick House.
Came back to the farm so Steve could do some cow work. 
Frosty Udder is Oskaloosa. A new vaccuum that is AWESOME!
Sweet cuddles from Aubrey. A nice card.
A trip to the "park" (Mommy's school). Supper. Bathtime. Bedtime :)

Whirlwind Weekend!

This was a very whirlwind weekend as we were here and there and everywhere!

It started off Friday morning where we went to visit our new NEPHEW
born to Dan and Andrea
Noah Daniel Palmer.
He is in the NICU in Des Moines so we stopped by to meet the little guy.
Aubrey couldn't see him, so we were just in for a bit and then visited with Dan and Andrea.


So sweet, "Baby No No" as Aubrey has nick named him :)

After we left the hospital, we headed up to Algona  to meet my mom 
to drop off Aubrey with them for the weekend, so we could head up to
Minneapolis for a wedding!

Saturday, May 4
My roommate Angela was married! 
The ceremony was very nice.


Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Bachel! 

Steve was being naughty as he wanted to take over
since the DJ slipped away for a bit :)

Dancing the night away!

A few of the college roommates that were able to make it to the wedding!

"The gang"

We were the "greeters" that passed out the programs
and ushered everyone out of the church, so 
we had coordinating outfits :)

THEN, on Sunday, we made the 4 hour trip over back
to Rock Valley to hold a BIRTHDAY/GRADUATION BASH!
(for Camryn, Gavin, Jen, Ash, and Curt!)

Aubrey had a lot of fun hanging out with Camryn as always. 

Birthday Boy Gavin turns ONE!

Aubrey REALLY loved playing with
Camryn's new vanity for her THIRD birthday!

"Happy Birthday to YOU!"

Gavin digging right into his birthday cupcake!

Yummy!

Everyone who was celebrated for the day!
(OOPS, I just noticed, Aubrey didn't need to be in that picture,
we already celebrated her birthday, oh well :))

And then we thought it would be a good idea to get Curt
with all the kids for one last pic before he moves....HAHA!

Okay, that's a little better...I don't know why we even try sometimes :)
