Party in Iowa

This past weekend was full of celebrating. Friday night we helped great grandpa celebrate his 82nd birthday and Saturday we celebrated Ella and auntie Courtney's birthdays. It was a fun filled weekend. We shopped, played outside, danced inside and climbed some stairs. Both Alivia and Ella had such a fun time visiting all their uncles and auntie. Nothing beats a little grandma and grandpa time too.

A little cake for the little lady

As you can tell Ella was very tired by the end of the day. We ran the girls around all day.

Ella's very own baby.

Oh yeah we also figured out how to stand up without help from a chair, wall or hand. She gets up on her feet and hands and then just stands up. A big step in maybe walking in the next few weeks. Most likely she will take her time like her sister did though.

Our little family

So bummed..... My camera battery went out right after she starting eating cake. Let me tell you she LOVED it. We only gave a little since she will be eating cake again in a couple weeks. Don't want to spoil the big event. This was practice and it went well.

We had a lot of fun jumping on the trampoline. I think there might one in the Varleys future.

Had to get a picture of Alivia working. She always sits in this spot in the kitchen and colors, cuts and does her stickers. She will do this for hours....
