This past weekend we drove out to Cedar Bluff Nature Preserve to take engagement photos for our good friends Jacob and Elaina, who are getting married next month. It was a beautiful day, and we enjoyed hiking through prairie and cornfields to get to the wooded area on the Des Moines River. The only negative thing was that the mosquitoes were awake and biting! We've f...

The life and times of Colleen and Scott Platt in Iowa and beyond. Tuesday, August 19, 2014. Trip to Michigan.and even more Cousins! This has been the summer of cousins for us- we have been able to visit with more cousins than we have seen in years! It also worked well to stay there because she was not going to the wedding, and said they would be happy to take care of Laurel during the wedding. I don't think Laurel is capable of sitting through a wedding right now, and would have just run around like ...

We bought the supplies last weekend, and recruited a couple helpers. Our friend Jacob came this morning and spent most of the day here digging with us. He is a great person and has often helped us out here.one of these days we need to go out to his place and help him with some projects! It took a about 90 minutes to dig the trench on the wes...

The life and times of Colleen and Scott Platt in Iowa and beyond. Saturday, June 20, 2015. Snack Chart and Sticks. I feel like the kids want snacks all the time. They don't want to eat their meal, but 10 minutes after lunch they are asking for a snack. And they always want crackers, or cereal, or cake, or marshmallows. Even if I say, "you have to choose something healthy! The response is, "Ok! I had a picture of all my supplies, but I seem to have lost it. Instead I will make a list! Right now the cups a...

The life and times of Colleen and Scott Platt in Iowa and beyond. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. This past Sunday afternoon the weather was beautiful, and Laurel looked lovely in her fancy church dress. I decided to do a photo shoot with her while Nicolas was taking a nap. She likes to do crafts, is learning to use glue and scissors (she will get better at scissors now that I bought her a left-handed pair! And is interested in learning about letters.perhaps she will be reading before she is 4? Or can I simply...

The life and times of Colleen and Scott Platt in Iowa and beyond. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Where have the months gone? Have we done nothing since June 20, the last time I posted? We were in the parade as part of the CERT team for the 175th Anniversary of the town of Eddyville. After the parade we had fun at the park. We played in our new kiddie pool with friends. Grandma Fender came to visit. We marched in the Independence Day parade in Leighton and watched fireworks. Scott and Colleen Platt.

The life and times of Colleen and Scott Platt in Iowa and beyond. Sunday, May 31, 2015. Anyway, Scott made popcorn after supper tonight, and the kids really enjoyed it. Nicolas sat in his seat saying "popcorn! Over and over. Laurel sat on Scott's lap and stuffed popcorn into her mouth while he pretended to eat it out of her hand. It was fun to watch them. Don't steal my popcorn, Daddy! Scott and Colleen Platt. Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad! We're going to paint your house! Everyone initially thought the...

The Platt House: January 2015
http://theplatthouse.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
The life and times of Colleen and Scott Platt in Iowa and beyond. Saturday, January 3, 2015. At the end of every year at our church we have a service where we talk about our goals for the next year, and then a service where we talk about the vision of our church. One thing our pastor always talks about is how important it is to actually write down your goals. Only 3% of people write down their goals; of that 3% who write them down, 97%. Seriously. For January, I am going to only have 1 dessert per da...
