Myla got her ears pierced!
She looks just as lovely as ever! I always wanted to get her ears pierced and Dan really didn't mind so yesterday while running some errands we got them done. She did fabulous! I was sweating and Quinn was worried, at least until the nice lady gave him a sucker! She barely cried as soon as I gave her a yogurt bite everything was fine! She hasn't even been bothered while I clean them. I am pretty excited and she has been all smiles since she got them so I'm pretty sure that she LOVES them!
Check out her sparkly ears!

Rex and Myla continue to grow and change. They are so delightful to be around. They had a follow up in the NICU last week and did great! Rex has better fine motor skills and did well picking up Cheerios and putting them in his mouth and Myla still continues to be a little muscle woman (with cute ears). Both are looking great though. Rex is just over 19 lbs and Myla was around 14 and a half. The love to talk, chew on everything and giggle.
Our deck continues to be wonderful! We have gotten a little yard work done. I planted my first flowers... ever! I happen to think they look fabulous but I am no gardener! I'm not even sure what kind of flowers I planted, just picked some pretty colors! 
We plan to put a border around our flowers, just not sure what yet!

I planted some seeds in the pots on my front steps. Does anyone know if I need to pull out some of the buds so it allows the others to do better?
Dan and I planted a garden! Green beans, lots of tomatoes, jalapenos, onions, spinach, not sure how any of them will do. Neither Dan nor I have a green thumb but we are giving it a try! Any gardening advice is welcome!
I purchased a storage chest for our new porch. I will hold bubbles, ball, chalk, all the outdoor toys! I love it because it makes things look cleaner! Plus it took about 2 minutes to assemble! I love things like that!
We had our monthly birthday celebration at the Grandma and Grandpa Rude's house! Quinn enjoyed all his cousins and loved Barney!
My dear friend Yvonne and I enjoyed Saturday morning at the farmers market. Yvonne pulled Quinn and Noah in the wagon and I pushed the babies in the stroller. It was wonderful to get to spend the morning with such a good friend and Quinn thinks Noah (age 5) is the coolest kid ever! They got to ride on a train, shared a smoothie, ate some kettle corn (my favorite thing about the farmers market) and Yvonne and I enjoyed a coffee. It is such a fun environment. Lots for the boys to look at. I think there are more dogs than at a dog show walking around Des Moines on a Saturday!
Myla enjoyed the front seat for a while, Rex was sleeping in the back!
Yvonne and Noah enjoyed a smoothie together!
Quinn is such joy and a talking machine. He seriously talks nonstop about anything and he remembers EVERYTHING! He is my brave little boy and loves worms worm worms worm!
The Downtown Church (click to see the website), the church that Dan is a pastor at, is doing a thing called Mission to the City this week. It is a mission trip to Des Moines. There are just under 200 people from our church, a lot of them took work off for the week, that are serving Des Moines for the week. They are doing free car washes, handing out free breakfast to people going to work, helping out at the goodwill, helping at different shelters, and many other service projects. It is an exciting thing for our church and Dan and many others have put a lot of hard work into planning and organizing this event. The end of the week is a free concert by Phil Wickham (click to listen to a song) at an outdoor theater in Des Moines right along the river. It should be a wonderful event and we are expecting over 2000 people to attend. Phil Wickham is a great musician. His music is full of truth shares the incredible love of Christ with those who listen to his music. This week should be an awesome opportunity to reach out and love the people right in our own community and to share the love of Christ with them. The Des Moines Register wrote a nice article about it in the paper this week, you can read it here. You can be praying for our church this week and that the Lord really uses all the things that we are doing to impact eternity!

Hey Meg,
Great garden! I tried something different this year by putting the cages around the tomatoes & peppers early before it becomes too difficult to get all the branches inside one of them...that way, they just grow right up into the support system. My garden looks like one of the Big Empty Giants, but they'll fill up eventually:)
For more bang for your buck, maybe find info on the perennial flowers that you like. (I've fallen in love with hydrangeas) They'll come back on their own every year (less work and money invested for you!)
For a border around your flowers, Gerard found a plastic flagstone that you can push into the ground from Lowe's, but you could use the standard black rubber in the ground as well if you want it hidden. I have porch envy! It looks great:)
Any info I got on plants, I learned from my resident florist-my aunt. Holler if you need anything!
