Hank, Ava, college friend Clint and his little girl Alexa. Watch out in a few years, Dads!

Happy 1st birthday Boston!!!

Ava was speechless as she opened her presents from the Kelloggs...what do you say to 6 different kinds of lip gloss?!

Our little fish

The water slide was a hit!

Hank and Ryan stretching out the arms at Boston's bday party

Entertaining herself on the car ride home

Love this little Peanut

Goodbye Nebraska...back to Iowa

We really enjoyed our trip to Omaha

Ava had no fear on the bridge. Hank and I, on the other hand, didn't really enjoy looking down.

What do we do while we wait for a locksmith? Eat more ice cream. Hey, it was HOT!

All smiles on the paddleboat (prior to the keys falling in the lake)

Ava did great with her first life jacket experience

Enjoying the scenery at Mahoney State Park

Close enough to pet, but 'No Thanks' on the ride

Hank enjoyed a night at Rosenblatt with some buddies while Ava and I got some extra zzz's

Let's hope she hates the taste as much as she hates the smell of beer someday...

When on vacation...ice cream is a must

She has some pretty good form for a rookie!

Close enough to pet one of the animals

The train ride was a highlight for all of us

and a train!

Who needs animals at a zoo when you have a carousel...

Visiting the Henry Doorly Zoo on our Omaha vacation

Dancing with the bear at Grandpa John and Grandma Rachel's. Yes, that's lip gloss...

Watch out Grandpa!! The girls love their Gator.

Getting more and more brave as Ava walks around the water with Grandma Rachel

A beautiful night in Des Moines to enjoy downtown

Another birthday celebration, this time at Spaghetti Works

There's a trend in our family pictures...Ava likes to be in Aunt Sarah's pics, and now Katie likes to be in Aunt Melissa's pics

I'd say Katie enjoyed the frosting

Happy 30th birthday! Ice cream cake, about to be devoured by 2 little girls!!
