Iowa, Iowa, Iowa

Lexi has made her second trip to Iowa. Once again, she did amazing on the flight there & back. The flight to Kansas City was pretty awful. I actually felt sick when we got off the plane, so I can't imagine how she must have felt. She is a trooper! Mike's parents picked us up at the airport and we headed straight to some cabins at Lake Rathbun. It was us, Jeremy & Christie & the kids & Papa & Grandma. It was lots of fun!

Grandma Nean w/her grandkids!

Maddie, Parker & Lexi

On Friday, Lexi went swimming for the 1st time! Ok, maybe not "swimming", but she did get her feet wet. She looked super cute in her swimsuit!!

Heading over to the pool.

Not too sure what to make of the water. She never cried, but never really smiled either.

We'll try again when she understands what's going on.

Drying off/snuggling with Grandma.

On Saturday we spent the day w/my family. I think Lexi is starting to remember both of her grandparents now. She gave both of them great reactions when she saw them! Here she is w/Papa Steve.

She got to play w/all of her cousins!

She also got lots of kisses from all her couins. Probably the most from Natalie though. She sure does love Lexi. It's so sweet!!!

And she sure is cute! :)

Cereal time!

The reason for this trip was the 50th wedding anniversary party for Mike's grandparents. 50 years... that is incredible!! I cannot wait to say I have been married to Mike for that many years! Of course, we didn't get our camera out at the party. :( Lexi looked beautiful in her dress though. And she did awesome at the party. She is slowly getting better in settings like that.

Here is one of the last pictures from our trip. It was Sunday night... and no, Parker isn't making her cry. She was already not happy when we sat her down. Oh well... we tried.

So there is that trip. Lexi & I will be going back to Iowa for two weeks in July. Mike will be going on his missions trip to Bonaire and I didn't really feel like being alone for two weeks. It will be so much fun to be able to spend more time w/family & not feel so rushed! We can't wait!!
