Iowa State Fair


Iowa has the BEST state fair. We love to go as a family. We have so much fun together! Sharing food, drinks, benches etc!!!!! Our favorite thing to do is sit on a bench and watch all the strange people. This year was the BEST year for weirdos!!!

lake of the Ozarks 2010

Family vacation at the Lake of the Ozarks......2010. We are so lucky that my parents have a home right on the lake. It is one of our favorite places to be!!!! The kids were in the water the entire time. We went on the jet skiis, pontoon rides, tubing, and of course my favorite
shopping. It was so hot, so next year we have got to go earlier in the summer!!!! The water
temp was 90!!!!




Grant cooling down with a beverage.

My friend from highschool and her husband came from Colorado. They have plans to retire in Missouri........they have begun looking for a home! This is Dan's face after Patti spent all his money!HAHA


James driving the boat.......Mr. sun......he LOVES the sun!

I just got a new camera, a Nikon D90....and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

My dads doctor has a home in the Ozarks, so we snuck onto his dock to cool off!
