10 months

Here are Colby's 10 month pics from the 13th.  It took a while to get some good ones.  He kept tackling the bear.  Little stinker!

Carnival on the Fourth of July

We got back to Des Moines on the 4th of July.  We visited our friends Bill and Kim in Algona on the 3rd and watched some fabulous fireworks.  I was too busy visitng and chasing after kids to snap any pictures there, I guess!  We went to the carnival in Urbandale when we got back to town.  They didn't have a whole lot of options there, so Becky got to ride the Tilt-a-Whirl four times, twice with each of us!

 I even got her talked into the slide once. That was fun!

Spencer in July

Brenda and her family were in Iowa the first of July.  It was fun to spend some time with them in Spencer.

dance recital

I am not real sure where the month of June went, but here are some pictures from Becky's dance recital.   That was a crazy week!  We had two nights of dance rehersal and two nights of dance recital.  Becky did great, and I think she had a good time.
