me my mo mair...FAIR

Dear Olivia,

Last weekend you went to your first fair, specifically the Iowa state fair.  To make things better, your cousin Amelia went too. 

Mommy's favorite part of the fair was the red velvet funnel cake and the scary ride YOUR aunty and unkie talked us into riding;)  That ride went 170 feet in the air.  So someday if you think your parents are uncool, we can tell you about the time we went on the scary ride at the fair.

Love,

Your cool mom-da-bomb



Dear Olivia,
To name a few things you did with papa, nana, and your cousins while we were away...

 picked berries with papa,

 practiced driving,

 happily ate grapes,

 learned theatricals from your cousin Paige,

 got strangled by your cousin Alaina,

 just hung out,

and rode on nana...

Just looking at these photos makes me tired!  Looks like you had lots of fun, although Nana also had to take you to the doctor for another ear infection.  We live closer to nana and papa now, so you'll get to see them more.  Yay!
Love, mom

Missing my baby-boo-boo-boo-bear

Dear Olivia,
This week you've been spending the week with papa, nana (Thanks papa & nana!)  and your cousins, and boy do I miss you.  Hotels, swimming and making fish-faces is just not the same without you. 

Your daddy misses you too, and he would never admit it, but he talks about you a lot. 

Last week grandpa, grandma and aunt Chels came to play.  I'm pretty sure you had as much fun as they did. 

Love,
mom
