On to July

It is going to be a busy month. Robert is working the first weekend in DSM at the Good Guys Heartland Nationals. The second weekend he will be working at the Ohio Good Guys show. He is probably headed to New Mexico the third or fourth weekend to check on the Chevelle and do some "wrenching". The last weekend he is taking off to Oshkosh with his dad for the Air Show, the neat thing is he is taking Emily and Dallas. That will be my relaxing payoff for a hard month of work. Four days with a 10 mo old who takes 2 sometimes 3 naps a day, whatever will I do!

Ode to June

The MuscleCar Place have new mics

Emily (with grandma's assistance) made a pop up Birthday card for Robert

Painted face (a first, I think)

Caught Rob taking pictures of the truck while it was shiney, there is a good chance it will be for sale soon

Waiting for Cars 2 to start

Grandpa Dallas Kibbe turned 70

We had our favorite visitors from Delaware, wished you could have stayed longer...convincing them to come back in August

Noelle getting her first taste of ice cream, she first helped herself, then I reluctantly decided to share

The kids first time seeing hot air balloons

They did this a lot

Noelle was a "model" for a boutique tutu dress

the dining room chairs are getting a new look, recovering with khaki microfiber, and going really classy and topping three or four of them with vinyl for kids only seating

Used our Reimen Gardens membership 3 times

We took Grandma to Taki for sushi and a Japanese cooking show for her 60th Birthday

Robert's Birthday

I am behind blogging. My interest is waining at the moment. Last Friday it was Rob's birthday. Thanks for all that remembered his (and mine). It is nice to get a call or a card. Emily and I baked cookies for his birthday sweets. I borrowed car shaped cookie cutters from a friend and we got to work. It wasn't my best effort. Making black icing is messy. I had to clean up the cookies so Rob wouldn't see them when he came home from work Thursday, alas the final touches were not set, and everything became swirled and smeared.

Friday we headed out get a sushi lunch for Rob, and I wanted the kids to pick out a gift or two for him to open. I guess I am getting him a "new" Chevelle this year. Friday evening the main Birthday event. We went to see Cars 2 in Newton at the Drive IN!!! While it is a fun event in itself, it is harder to watch a movie and keep track of three kids that would have been asleep if we had been home. Part two of his birthday was going to Cars 2 movie again, in Ames, in a movie theater on Sunday.

Happy Birthday Robert

Excited

I just read that one of my favorite bloggers (ever) is moving to Iowa. Cedar Rapids, specifically. Trying not to think how I could stalk her now... perhaps I shall go over an introduce myself .
