I O What?

IoWA, that's what. Yep, I thought of that all on my own. ;) Well, as you probably know, Cedar Falls, IA is where we will be calling home in about a month and a half and Scott will be working for John Deere. Yikes. I'm not ready for starting over again in another new city, but hopefully there won't be another move in the near future. Well, I want to be organized when we move and since that seems to be impossible for me, especially with two young kids, that means I shouldn't spend my time blogging while they are sleeping.

It is amazing the mess two kids can make (well, it is mostly just the one...:) ), but I love them so much it makes it not so bad.

A couple quick facts about our move:

1). We want company!!!!

2). John Deere is packing up all our stuff for us, moving it, and storing it, if we need it. Soooo thankful for that!

3). I never wanted to marry a farm boy (unlike my Mom), so I married a city boy. Never thought he'd move me to rural Iowa (ok, not super rural, but smaller town than I've lived in since freshman year of college, and surrounded by farm land) and work for a tractor company, haha. Funny how things work out!

4). We have yet to find a great home to purchase, so prayer on that front would be appreciated. Thanks to my Dad for accompanying me on the first trip--it would have been a disaster if he wasn't there, as Scott had to stay home and work.

5). We are looking in Cedar Falls, not Waterloo. Apparently, it is a better place for schools and living...we'll see :)

6). We hope to find a wonderful church, as we are leaving a wonderful church.

7). We want company!!!! :)

Ok, should sign out now. I need to go wash Blake's pillow and teddy bear, as he wet the bed the past two nights (he was doing so well before...I hope this was just a fluke). He's been dry for weeks, so this was kind of surprising, b/c it was a lot of pee!!

Here's a couple pictures of my brother's wedding a couple weeks ago and a few of my kiddos!

The ring bearer

Got a little wet, haha

Me and my new sister

Taking a walk

Blake loves to take walks!!

Um, so does Sadie!!! ;) 

My kiddos--love them so much!!

Oh, look, a puppy. Lately, these two have been fighting quite a bit. Blake gets so mad at Sadie when she takes his toys (although he always takes hers) and Sadie doesn't give up and gets mad back. Fun stuff here in the Miles' household. :) 

A nice calm picture :)

My 8 month old beauty!!!!

She sure is fun and super adventurous. Today I found her standing on the first step--that was a first. Normally, she just pulls herself to a standing position--doesn't actually climb the first step!
