These Boots

William has grown fond of his boots I got him a couple months ago. They finally fit him and he has to wear them wherever we go. He has a mind of his own and gets his fashion sense from his father :)

Picture Updates!

Will wanted to snap a photo ( Not too bad if you ask me ) :)

Jillian and Hank

Well summer has come to an end. We enjoyed our final day of swimming at Lakeshore. We were lucky enough to have the company of the the Murray and Turner families. Hard to believe summer came and went so fast. Now, bring on our favorite season. Football season!! GO STATE and GO Huskers!!

Bond Voyage

Well today we said goodbye to our very good friend Lauren. Lauren and her family have decided to leave the storms of Iowa and head to sunny California ( After Thursday can you blame them?) The Bond family will be greatly missed among all of us. Between our instant messages at work, to our Saturdays at the park it will be a little lonely around here. Like I told Lauren, she will have to make sure there is plenty of room on their couch and Thank GOD for skype.

You will be missed and IOWA will not be the same without. I know my days will not be!

Getting William to eat and finding foods he likes and never gets tired of is always tough! Well we know we offically have an Iowa boy. He loves Sweet Corn. He has to eat it off the cob, with butter, salt and he has to use the corn holders (sorry I cannot think of the "offical" name) . I don't blame him, there is nothing like Sweet Corn in Iowa!!

What's Happening

It seems like summer was just here and it is hard to believe it almost coming to an end. We our having a wonderful summer. Enjoying lots of time outside and enjoying our time with family and friends. Will is finally over the nasty virus that took him out most of last week and the weekend. So glad to have him back to normal. I have been at my new job for a month. I am learning everyday and completely exhausted when I get home. My brain hurts from thinking so much :) Our new daycare routine has been going fairly smooth. Justine Olsen takes Will to daycare every other day. Since I have to be to work at 6am and daycare does not open until 6. Justine is nice enough to come the mornings Scott is working overnight and take Will to daycare. We are so grateful Justine gets up so early in the morning especially when this is her summer before she starts back at Creighton. Scott's painting business started off slow but has picked back up. He has done lots of bids and our neighborhood is keeping him busy this summer. He is on house #3 in Timbercrest with a bid out on one more. As always he is working hard and staying hydrated ;) My mom had surgery almost a month ago. She is attending rehab and getting back to her normal self. She still is sore and her body is still adjusting to having "normal" blood flow. She has gone without normal amounts of blood flow in her body for so long her body is taking some time to adjust. We are so thankful for the surgery and we know mom will be as good as new in no time. Mom is one tough cookie and we are all so proud of her.

Viking Lake

Grandma Sally and Grandpa Larry were camping at Viking Lake last weekend. We decided to make the trip down for the day on Saturday. Grandpa and Grandma had just gotten back from the Ratcliff Family reunion in Denver. We could not attend because Will's heart combined with the altitude is not a good combo so we had to see all the fun we missed in pictures. At Viking Lake, we had lunch, rented a boat ( Grandma Sally was nice enough to take Will back to the camper so Scott and I could enjoy some mom and dad time on the lake) and Will swam in his pool. It was days like this that make me enjoy summer more and more each day!
