Congratulations Kyle, Kara and Cory!!

Hailey, Kyle, Kamryn, Cory, Emily, Kara, and Addy - at least the graduates were happy! :) 

We are Dutch! :)  Gotta love the windmill!
Wouldn't you know it that most parks only have TWO baby swings...so we often resort to the "siamese twin" look to make everyone happy. :)  
KAMRYN!!!!
Our brave little trio.  This was a high slide and they had no fear!  Up and down all by themselves! 
The Peters family!!  Together!!!  Our last family photo was when the girls were only 2 months old!!!
Cousins!  - Emily, Kamryn, Addison, Hailey
Addy was all about showing love to Kamryn.  So sweet. 
Another attempt at a cousin photo. :) 

I still can't believe I'm an auntie!  I love it though!
Kisses for Kamryn from Emily
Grandpa Dooyema loving all the commotion at his house. :) 

We made it!  We survived another 8 hour road trip to northwest Iowa with triplets. :)  It went MUCHHH better than the last time we drove there.  I think it helped that the girls could face forward this time...and we had a dvd player...and we fed them like crazy...and they actually slept for a little bit!  Made the trip much more enjoyable.  :)  We drove to Iowa for my brother Kyle, my sister Kara, and Kara's fiance Cory's graduation from Dordt College!  Congratulations!!!  It was great to be there to celebrate with them and to just be with my WHOLE family again!  We finally got to meet our 5 month old niece Kamryn so that was a treat.  Made me want another baby!  (just kidding!  not yet!) :)  But she was such a sweetie and so stinkin' cute.  The girls were very "gentle" if a couple pokes in the eye count as gentle. :)  But they did give her lots of hugs and kisses.  :)  We also got to spend some time with Ryan's side of the family as we stayed with his grandpa (thank you!) and also got to visit Ryan's grandma in the nursing home.  The girls had a hay day riding around in her wheelchair.  :)  We were also able to get together with about 20 of our college friends Saturday night so that was great to see everyone and meet their kids now and everything.  Then Sunday was Mother's day..the day we needed to drive 8 hours back home.  :)  I think the girls really knew it was Mother's day though...because they were pretty good in the car.  Every time we stopped for dinner...they just keep getting more friendly with people.  Hailey loves to say "hi" and "byeeeeeee" to complete strangers.   We packed everything in though and overall had a great weekend!  It was soooo good to see everyone!!!
