Water World

When we were in Mason City we got to go swimming A LOT. Grandma and Royce have this amazing slide that I went down for hours! I wish I could have one at my house, somehow I'm going to get it here to Colorado Springs.

We also went to Clear Lake one day and got to go on the jet ski with some of Mommy's friends. Daddy went pretty fast, big surprise. And the day of the wedding Daddy and I went swimming while the girls went to the wedding(boring). I went off the high dive..it is so much fun. They have huge water slides there too. Summer in Iowa is so awesome!!!
We miss you all!!!!!!

Love,

Quinn and Zoe

One More Day

Hi! It's Zoe, and this smile shows how happy I am about getting ready to come to Iowa to visit everyone. Don't worry that isn't a fire in our driveway, it was the fireworks we set off on the 4th. This week we went swimming and Quinn went down this slide at least 30 times...he just kept doing it over and over. We are ready for some serious swimming on this trip. Daddy has been helping me bat and I am pretty good, don't you think? Listen carefully to the video, I take some very deep breaths and then SLAM I knock it out of the park.
We will see you all soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
XOXOXO
Zoe

Happy Fourth!!

Hope everyone is having a happy Fourth of July. Zoe and I are going to do some fireworks tonight when it stops raining. I realized that if I only talk about it once or twice an hour, it will be dark sooner. We added some videos of swimming lessons, which we have been taking all summer. Zoe is actually braver than her video shows. She can do both her floats by herself when she feels like it. The other night we went to the Sky Sox game and I spent the money Grandpa T-Bone gave me on the giant snow cone that I shared with Zoe.(thanks T-Bone) I guess it was a big deal because it was the first perfect game in Sky Sox history, but I was pretty busy going down the slide and didn't really notice.
I counted it today and it is only 8 MORE DAYS before we are headed to Iowa!!!! YEAH!!! We can't wait to see everyone!!

Love you!!
Quinn

Party with Paige

Paige came and stayed with us this week and the girls spents a lot of time dressed up in their princess gear. Here are a few pictures of them as they packed up and got ready to take off in the jeep. Mommy said she would put more on shutterfly for you all to look at. They are so silly, but I love them!!! Hope you are all having a great weekend.
Love,
Quinn

The Graduate

It has been a couple weeks now since I have officially graduated from preschool, but we still wanted to show you some pictures and videos of me marching in and singing a song. Ms. Angela told us to be serious, and I always do what Ms. Angela says. Hopefully Zoe will do the same next year when she goes to preschool. I will of course be continuing my scholarly ways at Evans International Elementary school next year in kindergarten, can you believe it?
Mommy is home now-YEAH!!- and she said she will be better about catching you all up on some videos. She promised to send some from swim lessons- that is what we are doing this week. And Paige is here for a couple days too!! Summer is awesome!
ps. mommy didn't make that cake, it was at ms. angela's and she thought she posted a video of me singing, but it's not on here, she will get it next time....
later- Quinn

Happy Mother's Day!

Hi all, especially the Moms! Hope everyone is having a great relaxing day. I am being quite lazy myself. Getting these pictures on here is my one accomplishment of the day. Thanks to everyone for the cards and calls. I noticed I hadn't put any pictures up in awhile. These are a few of what we have been doing over the past few weekends. Spending time with everyone in Denver, and Quinn has had soccer games on Sat. He has one game left and he seems to enjoy it quite a bit. Todd and I also enjoy watching the two little boys on his team dominate the opponents, they are A LOT better than everyone else...it is cute! Oh, and you will see that Paige and Zoe got a chance to sleep together again, and they succeeded-only took about an hour this time. That is how we found them when we went to bed. :)
Have a great week!

Love you all!!!

Last Weekend

Hi- These picture are from last weekend. Sorry I didn't get them on here sooner. Last Sat. the kids never left the house and Quinn never got completely out of his SpongeBob pjs, but there we a few costume changes during the day that I thought I would share. Shawn Johnson appeared a couple times, I was only able to catch the end of her booty shaking...it started with "the single ladies". There was some cookie baking, decorating and fighting that filled up the rest of the day!

We all had a good week back at school and Quinn is VERY excited about his first soccer game tomorrow morning. At practice this week he ran around for an hour with a smile on his face.

Wishing you all a happy Easter Weekend...thanks for all the cards and gifts!!

love you
