Iowa weekend....

We had such a great time in Iowa over the weekend. Alivia was in her glory being with grandma, grandpa and Chad. She even got to play with all of her friends that she has grown to love. We packed in a lot of fun things in a short time starting with great grandma Varley's 80th birthday party which was a good time. The kids played outside on the playground thanks to help from Chad and grandma Annette.
Saturday we jumped on the trampoline, feed the cats and went grocery shopping with grandma. In the afternoon we went to a pool party for Eli's 8th birthday and then headed to Lance and Megan's for a lot of food and fun. To finish our weekend we went to Adventure land on Sunday morning and had wonderful time. It was great weather for a perfect weekend.

I think it might take a few more years of practice to get a good make-up face done right. We did have a lot of fun playing in grandma's vanity though.

So cute....

Playing in the pool at Eli's party. The boys were playing some game that really didn't make sense, but it was fun. Jump to daddy. We did a lot of jumping and not always to daddy. Alivia would run and try to jump in without daddy being there. I guess this was the weekend of being a big girl.

So fun...

Playing with the little ones. Jonny and Stella are right up Alivia's alley.

What a fun game of catching elephant peanuts.

Alivia did a great job at helping Eli open presents. She was really concerned with the calculator and thanks to Lance he got it open, but we used it as a phone instead.

Adventure land...

Loving the plane ride.

Awesome

Like a old pro driving the trunk. I don't think we took our eye's off the road once.

I think the boy next to her was more interesting on this ride.

If I only had a video of this ride. Alivia looked like she was going to loose it, but then came around towards the end. This one brings you up and then drops you down and then repeats. It was priceless to watch.

She had this awkward look on her face like I think I like it, but not sure. It was the bit down for life...
