IOWA - We came, we saw, we wet the bed once or twice...

At Baby Cousin Amy's house - finally - after two days in the car!  We did it!  Matt has a million other pictures on his phone - so hang on for his post!

 

Meeting Benny the dog - so handsome!

Uncle Matt aka Dadda with all the single ladies!

Amy's Barbie Jeep was a big hit with everyone as you can see! 

Who is behind the flowers???

FINLEY!

Class of '91 - nice clevage and a really good time for some old people!

Lindsey and Kyle's wedding in Chicago - very nice...even nicer being away from the girls for the night.  Thanks Aunt Stephie, Uncle Steve, and especially Grandma Susie!!!

On Grandpa Steve's boat with the beautiful Great River Bridge - lovely!

Finley would not drive the boat, but...

 Mama did!  Thanks Grandpa Steve for two boat rides and a nice lunch!

She can already multi-task - checking emails and eating at the same time - take that Teddy!

Grandma Liz entertains the troops while she cooks - impressive!

I had to put all of these photos just to show how difficult it is to take a picture of this crew!

Special thanks to Nana Pat for taking care of a sick baby, too! 

Keeping up with the Weinsteins!

Just some little tidbits of what we have been up to lately!  Matt getting ready to leave yesterday for USA!

Finley playing Dora games!

Jack wanting whatever Finley left on her plate.

Still waiting...

"Mama, please help a brother out!"

Poor Dixie Dog...being dressed by Fins...

such a good sport...

Pretty girls!

Harper Page with all the RAGE!

Much happier!!!

Pebbles Flintstone look!

It is not easy being Finley Grace!

We went to our friends the Pongs for a BBQ/Pool party.  This is Harps with Megan and Lauren.  Megan is a frequent babysitter for us.

So tired...

Finley loves to get her haircut in the Barbie Jeep watching Strawberry Shortcake - it really is tough to be her!

Harper wanted to bring all of the balloons home and was upset when she only got one!

Hair done, nails done, everything big, big...

Happy July!!!

Here are two short videos from Finley's dance recital last month!!!

First Day of Summer!

Hello Summer!!!  These pictures are not from today, but they are from an actual "hot" day in Canada last week!  And, by hot, I mean in the 80s.

Nice hoochie mama bikinis - Finley picked out the suits for the day.  They do have conservative one pieces, too.

Bathing beauties...I think they had their hats on for all of two seconds!

Little sister on the move!

Big sister - sitting pretty!

That pool just cracks me up - but Fins loves it!

Monty looks a little put out, don't you think?

Harper looks giant in her high chair!!!
