Homecoming parade

We did the annual Homecoming parade Friday night. It was a brisk fall evening downtown. My kind of night. The Beauties were bundled and cozy and as always had a great time watching. Chloe was a bit sad though. Her bestie Olivia was sick with a fever and was unable to make it this year. We missed you gals!

Fight Fight Fight for IOWA

It's Homecoming weekend in Hawkeye-town. You know how much the Little Beauties love parades. It has become an annual tradition to meet up with our BFFs and hit downtown to watch the parade, catch goodies and cheer on the Hawkeyes! We took a photo opportunity before leaving home...of course. The girls enjoyed sitting on the step and waving at our neighbor Frank. After the photo session ended, because Mommy was sweating her patootie off, we packed 'em up and headed out to our usual spot (yep...conveniently in front of the Java House.) No surprise...the Little Beauties had a Fantastic time! GO HAWKS! Another note...(Hey WIFE/BFF will you get me one of those shirts the next time you are in the area? Kiss Kiss...love you.)

Choo Choo we're coming through

We are the proud owners of the Choo-Choo Wagon. The Little Beauties LOVE it. Here are some photos of their first ride...Choo-Choo we're coming through...the people in our neighborhood had quite a kick out of it. They were following and watching out their windows, even coming outside to get a glimpse of the Beauties as they went by. Our own private parade. Little Beauties on parade.

Fun at Grandma's House

Yesterday the girls and I spent the day in Marion. We met Grandma Val and Grandpa Dave, Aunt Ande, Haley and Aunt Alicia in Albernette for the parade. You know how the girls love parades. Chloe and Haley were able to ride on a horse and carriage. They were even able to throw candy. Chloe said she wanted to ride ONLY if we caught some candy for her. I think she made out pretty well! The girls loved watching all the entries go past, and of course eating tootsie rolls. Next time you see Chloe, ask her how to get the horses to go and to stop, it's super cute how she says it. After the parade, we headed back to Grandma and Grandpas. We had a little gathering in honor of Aunt Alicia and Baby Will (due the 17th of September). We haven't seen her since she found out she was expecting Baby Will. She looked great! We cannot wait to meet Baby Will...the first boy grand baby! I know his cousins will love and spoil him. I can see them looking out after him already. We had lunch and played outside on the trampoline. Well some of us did. Chloe and Haley jumped and jumped and Jocelyn, Farrah and Silvie took turns jumping with Aunt Ande. It was a fun day together. We did miss Daddy and Uncle Eli though (they were working).
