Happy Birthday Raegan!!

This girl....

 This HAPPY girl...

 Turned 1!!

 So we decided to go back to the farm for another party!!

 Farmer Jed and all of the animals came!!

 And we even had a ladybug visit us...that means good luck, right!?!

 We had a great dinner with Grandma Mary and Papa Vince, and Great Grandma Kingsley.

Then it was time to blow out the candle...

 And dig in the cake!!

 And boy was it yummy!!!!!!!!

 Then it was time for some presents!

  Every girl needs shoes for her birthday, doesn't she??

 And every girl needs  a little baby, or two or three!

 Happy birthday Raegan girl!  Can't believe it has been a year already!!

Oh Brother!

This little boy is a handful!

 With a smile like this, he is going to get his way quite often!

He'll even show you his muscles if you want him too!

This is one silly guy!

Time for a sleepover-cousin style!

We were so lucky to get to have cousin Katherine come stay with us for a night! 

 The kids played great together!!

From the looks of it, I think she had a great time too!

We had fun having her here!!!  Come back soon cousin Katherine!!  Love you lots!!

Iowa wrap up!

We had a great week in Iowa!!  The kids had a blast!  Brooklyn was SO SAD to leave!  She cried and cried--broke my heart!!  A couple of this and that pics to wrap up our Iowa trip!  Thanks to everyone who made our time there THE BEST!!!

And what is even better than the week in Iowa--surviving the car ride back home! 

JUMP FOR JOY--A FUN WEEK IN IOWA!!

Celebrate!!

We had one last outing in Iowa.  Jill's cousin Marie was getting married.  We were lucky to be able to be home to celebrate with her--it was a beautiful wedding!  Congrats Josh and Marie Sussman!

It was a wonderful evening with an outdoor wedding followed by dinner and dancing!  The kids had a great time and Brooklyn and Jamison danced the night away!!! Raegan enjoyed dancing too!!   Another great night getting to be with family!!
