Labor Day Weekend in Iowa

We got to make some wonderful memories with our families in Iowa over Labor Day weekend!  Jordan's parents hosted a get-together, so we got to see Uncles, Aunts, cousins, plus my Mom and my brother and his family!  And then God blessed us with a beautiful day!

This picture cracks me up!  Bret sitting there like a king while Caroline is obviously straining to pull the wagon!

Lots of girly giggles!

Serena & Keira

Good girl talk going on here!

Bret getting picked on  ;)

The swing got LOTS of use!

Grant's snapping turtle (Which is NOT Tottie Lottie all grown up!  Poor Serena shed some tears after being led to believe by **ahem** Someone that Grant's big mean turtle was Tottie Lottie!  She was so relieved when she saw her little plastic turtle looking just as she'd left him the last time we were there!  I don't think she ever really got over it, though.)

Playing with wagons.  These kids were BUSY!!!

On the trampoline

My little boys!  Aren't they cute?!  I love them!

Guys, guns, and dogs

I'm not sure if that's Johnny or Sister.  One of the toads that we ended up taking home and keeping for the next 3 weeks!  The kids sure loved those toads!
