Iowa winters are unlike anything else I have ever experienced. Growing up in Utah, when spring came I was happy; but when spring comes in Iowa I feel victorious. It's like I've conquered some sort of battle. Even if the temperature is only 40 degrees it feels like a sin to not be outside enjoying it. Here are a few pictures of what we have been up to the last few weeks.
This is Tessa and Kayla's new favorite game. Tessa is starting to walk so she likes to hold on to Kayla while she walks around the room. Kayla will fall down on purpose causing Tessa to fall as well which results in a lot of laughter.
We took a walk around our favorite park the other day. This is an example of us feeling like we needed to be outside even though it was still a little cold. The pond still had a lot of ice and Kayla is shivering in this picture. 
I pulled out Kayla's old swimming suit for Tessa and bought Kayla a new one. I took the girls to an indoor pool with a friend and they had a blast. Kayla jumped right in, but Tessa took awhile to get comfortable. Eventually she enjoyed it.
Kayla is so silly.
Strike a pose!
My handsome husband! I was brave and cut his hair for the first time last week. I think I did pretty good. What do you think?
Last weeks was Spring Break for the students. Brandon studied for his Boards most of the week, but he did take a little time to spend with the family. We had a bonfire with some friends one of the nights and roasted marshmallows and hot dogs.
