Gone Fishin'

A couple weeks ago we all headed out to Iowa for one of the longest, and most fun trips to visit Justin's parents.  The girls traveled great both ways and we had a very fun time visiting Fred and Sue.  The night we got there we headed out to the Bass Pro Shop to buy Morganne her very own fishing pole.  Of course, she picked out the pink princess pole that lights up when you press the casting button. :cP  Whatever works!  Grandpa also got both of the girls their very own BPS camoflage hats too.  Too cute!  The next night we had beatiful weather and a great opportunity for Morganne to try her hand at fishing in the neighbor's pond.  It was a great first experience!  She caught her first bluegill on her very first cast.  With help from Daddy and Grandpa, I'm not sure who had more fun between the three of them.  I'm so glad I caught it all with the camera!  Grandma had a great time too holding Kaelynn to keep her from rolling down the hill!  On our trip we also got to go to the Iowa State Fair, had great food all week, and Justin and Fred accomplished a lot around their house.  It truly was a great week, and the girls definitely can't wait to come visit again. 

On Sunday, the girls debuted their new dresses that one of my best friends, Nicci made for them.  I LOVED them and the girls had a fun time wearing them too!

Updates

I got a lot of responses from my vaccine post, which I expected.  It's very hard to discuss with people because it's such a sensitive topic.  I want to clarify, that I once again believe in the "theory" of vaccines and what they are intended to do.  I just don't feel safe with them yet and feel that there is much more out there determining what vaccines, when, and their ingredients, other than what's in our kid's best interest. In the event that Justin and I have more kids, at this time, I will have them vaccinated with the Prevnar, Hib, and possibly the Dtap vaccines since those are prevalent virus' that can have serious consequences early in life.  I will however, do them on a delayed schedule and probably not as many boosters as the CDC recommends.  Like I said, I'm still researching and deciding on my beliefs on the matter.  I don't like either choice frankly.  Please do your research and learn for yourselves what is out there.
 
Sorry I haven't posted any pictures lately.  We are waiting on a new computer.  Believe it or not, I've maxed out our computer's memory with all of my photos and videos. :cP  Now, this is a very small computer so that's not that difficult but I'm sure my thousands of pictures each year haven't helped.  So, we wait until Staples decides to call us letting me know that a new computer is back in stock so that I can order (got a good deal), and hopefully we will be back up and uploading, editing, and sharing in a couple weeks! 
As an update, Justin is thoroughly enjoying his new job as Rental Manager at the local Bobcat center.  We are awaiting news on a possible new house deal in our future.  I will explain more once I have more details, hopefully this week.  It would be a GREAT opportunity if it works out and your prayers on this matter are greatly appreciated. Those of you that have been to our house know how we've all but out grown our current location and desire a more spacious residence.  With that however, we will need to sell our house in the next 8-10 months.  So that is a huge prayer request too.  Not looking forward to that..... 
Ok, short post for now, girls are awake so gotta go.  Here's a message from Morganne:
