Blake's birthday & showing at the Story County fair

Sunday, July 26

And we returned from Ohio, just in time for the Eric Church concert (next post) and to repack and head to the Larson's for Blake's 8th birthday! :D Isn't this the prettiest pineapple you've ever seen?? Jeanette's lessons learned while in Vietnam ;)


Isn't Ryker the cutest little guy you've ever seen?!?

Melissa & Willy's youngest boy


Jody had the forethought to take family pictures, brilliant! EVERYONE was present, on BOTH sides of the family... remarkable!

Melissa & Willy 

Jody & Brent

Us :)


and the Raefield's!

We even told Jim he didn't have a choice in this matter :)


He did pretty well I'd say ;)


More play time!



Blake came up with this idea all on his own :) a checkers tournament, complete with rug under the table!



Pretty pumped birthday boy... a new locked safe :)

Would not be complete without a game of kickball...

With a sprinkler :) my request, b/c it was so. hot.





Got the slide :) I think Riley liked it!

Everyone loved the sprinkler...

Most of all, maybe Brock (Melissa's 3rd who is 2-1/2 :)


Uncle Eric is flying! :D











more sprinkler fun













Awesome day and super fun party.. all the cousins had fun! Raefield's headed home b/c they had been in Minneapolis all weekend, but the girls and I stayed the night...

and we headed to the Story County fair (in Nevada) to watch the boys show their sheep!











Did my best... those darn gates & wires ;)


















Very fun to watch, and cool to see another fair. They had huge barns!


Friends of the boys' - we had a great time, and when we left, headed to Waterloo to continue are school shopping process :) Thanks for the wonderful time Aunt Jody!
