Now that I've managed to get this thing up and running (I hope).... I wanted to give you an idea of some of the fun things we've been doing lately. First, my sister, Holly, got married to a wonderful man, Ed. The wedding was beautiful and, most importantly, a great party! The family got together (all 18 of us) for the first time in probably 10 years. We stayed at a beautiful B&B in Ames, IA that brought a little bit of Mexico to the middle of a cornfield. Since Loren has family living down St. Louis way, we took a day (and a bit) to meet them in Nauvoo for a quick visit also. A very busy and fulfilling trip!
The cousins chillin' before the big party.... (the moms call this "Downtime", much needed downtime)
Let's get this party started!! Doing a little hokey-pokey & Simon Says
They DO have frogs in Iowa!
