Uncle Matt is a Helper

and a really cool uncle!

We met Uncle Matt and more cousins for lunch before checking out his police car at the station.  

He even let us push the buttons!

THANKS Uncle Matt!

We also went to the butterfly garden in Ames.

Christian was not thrilled with all the butterflies.

Hangin' With Our Cousins

There are six grandkids, all three and under.

Karrigan, Isabella, Julianna, Christian, Emerson and Lydia

We had spaghetti dinner at Great Grandma Kitty's house

with strawberry pie for dessert.  Thank you Grandma Kitty!

Out to feed the kitty and check on the peas.

(lined up in order)

Nature's candy.  They loved eating the peas right out of the pod!  A few days later they even helped pod peas, eating more than they put in the bowl.

We also did some swimming and lots of playing outside.

We tried T-ball, tether ball and kite flying.  Teddy knows how to play tether ball, too.

There was also a very friendly kitty at the farm!

Aunt Missy, Bella and Lydia stayed with us at Grammy's for a week!  These two became fast friends.
