Ledges State Park

Kippin and I took an afternoon and went hiking at a state park near des moines. we had so much fun enjoying the sounds of the rippling stream, rustling leaves and chirping birds. And as always - awesome conversation! It's just so great when you get to do something you love with someone who also loves it! Thanks Kip for all the great memories from your visit :)

Family Photos

Here are some fun family pictures taken during my visit home in May.



More pics of my adorable little neice! We had lots of fun taking nearly a hundred shots in an attempt to get the perfect one. Her eyebrows are just furrowed because we were outside - she's having a blast. really!




Here is the Kilker family: Scott and my sister Jess with their daughter Karsen and lively beagle Payton.





Here's my dad with Karsen followed by my gram and gramps with Karsen - we were having so much fun taking these pics - karsen's snarl on this first picture sent me over the edge - she just makes the craziest faces!









Here are all the ladies in the family - that's four generations! Cool :)

Schools out for the summer!

To celebrate the completion of our 5th semester of nursing school we headed directly accross the street to Casa 'Ole and treated ourselves to some fruity margaritas! There really are some perks to being a college student again :)
