Our 1st YEAR in Iowa

So it has almost been a year that we have been living in Iowa. People havew been asking the question "So now that it's been a full year how do you like it there?" It has been quite the eventful year...having a new baby & moving into our new house. I can tell you I do like living in the country:) Having alot of land so the kids can play free & not have to worry. I love having 4 seasons. We enjoy seeing wildlife, deer right outside our windows is such a peaceful thing to look at every morning. Also the other day it was so funny but this is another reason I love it here! The mail man called me to let me know he'd be at my front door in 5 minutes with a package & my mail! I also called him this morning & had him bring me a roll of stamps:) that was cool too! Not having to load all 3 kids to go get stamps! Another thing I love is the healthcare, I enjoyed all my doctors while pregnant. Also my Endo. for my Diabetes is much more knowledgable & does better well checks than back home. Another thing is no traffic here, you can go to Des Moines & leave at anytime & not have to worry about traffic hour, cause there is no such thing! Freeway is always free & clear! There are only two things right now that I don't like, that is my Husband being gone for his job. And I know in time the perfect job will fall in his lap, & he's doing what he has to do for Our Family:) but it has been hard on all of us the hours he is gone. 15 hours a day! :( And the 2nd is missing all our family & friends. WE miss you all more than ever!! We do hope to get a trip back home this year depending on Brian getting a new job, we arnt sure when, but we'll keep you all posted. Here our a few pics of the house & the deer outside our home.

My Boys :)

So right after I had Emma, all I ever thought was "I WANT ALL GIRLS" now that I have had the chance to raise boys, I am just loving EVERY minute of it! They are so sweet & cuddley bugs! I may want a 4th someday & to be honest I wouldnt mind having a lil girl, but I'd be happy with another BOY Too!! There so much fun. And I love my boys so much:)

My Sassy lil girl

My daughter is growing up alittle more everyday! Today she was so excited she got to wear the new High School Musical sweatshirt her Grandma bought her for her Birthday. With her Etnies, Fur lined sweater & jeans showing off her cute lil butt, she looked like such a miniture of what her mommy dresses like. It's so muhc fun having a girl to dress:)

We are so blessed :)
