Our State Fair!

M and her buddy playing so nicely - they had a blast making each other laugh.

Enough about M - this is me with some of my dearest pals. We all graduated from undergrad and grad school together!

M and her Godfather gazing at something amazing at the State Fair. He came down from Canada just to see her - right?!

Cousin rivalry. This happens when there are no siblings to fight with!

M on Daddy's beach at the fair. I believe this held a close third next too the giant slide and the cows!


The fam spent a great weekend in the DSM area. We had a little college reunion, saw a pal from high school and went to the state fair. Not to mention, we saw both sets of Grandparents. M thought she was in heaven. Of course, being exposed to new germs, we are back on the antibiotic this week. None the less, it was all worth it!

Fun Weekend

Daddy and M on the bumper Cars!

Semi-trucks! Mommy's riding with the kids.

Airplane ride - M pulled the lever so they were flyin high the whole time.

We made a pit stop to visit Great Grandma.

Enthralled (and tired) watching Cherish the Ladies perform.

Dancing to Gaelic Storm. Not many two year old kids can sing songs about drinking, but then again not many parents would be proud that their two year old could. We, however, have never flown with the norm.

Gaelic Storm takes the stage!! We met a great, kind photographer from Des Moines at the show - if anyone needs a photographer let me know!

Still Dancing at 10pm! I believe the preceding comment was as follows, "Why is that man wearing a dress?" (kilt)

We had a blast this weekend and wore ourselves out. We saw our favorite band, Gaelic Storm, and went to Adventureland with our nephew! Good times!
