New cheer teams!

Last night Coach Ashley called and told us Ava made Power Mini level 1 and Hannah made Mighty Youth level 2. I am so proud of them both! They will not be on the same team this season. So we will be spending more time at the gym. Hannah is so excited! Youth is 9 to 11 year olds so She can't wait to fly again. 

Dinner with Grandma and Papa

This week has been a beautiful week! We have spent many hours outside and 
the kids have slept so well at night. 

Monday we enjoyed a park play date with the Smiths. 

Tuesday we had our lunch play date at Hollie's house. The kids played outside in the sand box, did some jumping and enjoyed some bubbles. Wow! What a fun day! Thanks for hosting Hollie!

Wednesday we went to the Ridge for Storytime and Craft. This week the kids made a Pete the Cat Book! They love that story!

Wednesday evening the kids and I drove to Atlantic a little over an hour away from Ankeny, To meet Mom and Dad for dinner. We ate at Weitzels Restaurant. It was great to see my parents. The kids loved the ice cream after dinner and playing games with Grandma and Papa! Thanks so much for visiting us! We can't wait to see you guys in a few weeks! 


Hollie and I did running trades all week! It is so nice to get my running done during the day! Thank you Hollie for watching TJ! TJ and Cooper love spending time together!
