Reunited and it feels so good...

I'm BACK...

I could go on and on with ~~excuses~~ reasons why I haven't written a blog post since January, but the truth is boring its called life, someday I will write about all of the things we have done since January, but until then lets focus on Memorial Day Weekend. We headed to Iowa to spend some time with all the Cleveland's.

We always love going back to IOWA to see Josh's family and the girls spending time with all of their cousins. We love watching the kids play together and get quality, quiet, and relaxing adult time. Wait that won't happen with 12 kids under the age of 6 for a few more years.

Always love checking out the neighbors pond

As we have gotten older it is harder to get all of us together for a whole day without someone having to go here or there, but this year we got a whole day together and it was great. (My sister and her family are always missed at Christmas time)

We also celebrated our nieces 10th birthday

Christmas at the Cleveland's

This year we got to spend almost a whole week in Iowa. I don't know if we have ever been able to spend more the a long weekend there. Mitch and Jess where gracious enough to host us, and we loved watching the kids get excited to go play with their cousins as so as they woke up.

We headed down Christmas Eve and we got to see all of Josh's aunts and uncles and some of his cousinson the Cleveland side at Aunt Dee's house
