Quick Trip to Iowa

We did one quick tour of Andrew Iowa this past weekend.... visited the Donovan bunch and picked up our meat. The kids had a blast playing with grandma and grandpa- from coloring with chalk, running outside, jumping on the beds, playing with trucks, dollhouses, coloring...whatever it was, they enjoyed it. Came home and sleep well--- so did mom and dad!

Here are some pics from the trip-- sorry, not great with the camera this weekend either.

Anika playing with Gma and Gpa's dollhouse. This one has way more furniture than mine!!!


Kylie getting pummelled by pillows by Gma and Dad.


Kylie thinks she won, but really she didn't.


Car ride home-gotta love stickers (all on her own mind you-- maybe because she was copying KMD).

Trip to Iowa

This past weekend we headed to Iowa to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa. We also got to see the Sibthorps, Parmers, and Donovans. It was a packed weekend, but it was great fun! The camera did not make it out of the bag much, so not many pictures. Sorry.... :(

Road trip accomplished

We managed to make it to Jerseyville Illinois for the first "long" road trip. 5 hours in a car with three kids under 3.5, was daunting, but we managed to survive. I think the most amazing thing is that we made it somewhere ON TIME! HA! Normally we strive to get there 15 minutes before something so we can be on time, but this time we managed to get there about 5 minutes before the ceremony started... amazing... it did take 20 minutes to get everyone dressed appropriately. And the humorous part, we all changed in the car next to the kids park... hahahah! Yes, EVERYONE changed.

Kylie was excited to see the princess and prince at the wedding, as was everyone else, but to listen to Kylie as the princess made her appearance was cute. She was just in awe-- "WOW, she is beautiful." Just cute.

Here are some pictures from the wedding, not many, but when we're chasing three kids and trying to keep the from crying, its all we can do to remember to take the camera out! Opps!
