Water Fun!

We have been in IA now for 3 1/2 weeks. We only have 2 more days before all of the water parks are closed for the season :( I don't know if I am having more fun watching Landon or if he is... but we are both glad to know that we will be in FL this winter for more water fun! This is our favorite water park!
The first time we came to Valley West we splashed around with Janelle and Owen!




Landon sipped on his bottle after all that fun!


We brought Eli and Faye to the water park a few days later for some more fun :)




The boys are "chatting" about where to play next ;)




We get Tim to come out with us whenever he needs a study break. It has been a LONG time since we have climbed around a jungle gym!





This is a simple wading pool. As long as there is water... Landon enjoys it!


Back at Valley West with Daddy!


And Mommy!


Landon loves his bath time too.


He always wants the faucet to run though... this is what I get for bringing him to water parks ;)


This park closed on Saturday night... 3 days later they re-opened for doggie dip night!


Landon enjoyed watching all of the dogs!


Keiko said that it sure beats the beach :)


Splabie wasn't so sure... it was a bit cool that night for him!
The water park has gone to the dogs :)


Union Park is another great place to visit. Grandma Julie joined us for Landon's first carousel ride!


It has been a long time since I have been on one of these too!

Tim and I both went down this slide. It was super fast :) Landon loved it but I am not going to lie... it was a bit scary!


They have a great wadding pool and park area too!


Did I mention that Landon is almost fearless when it comes to water splashing on his face??


Summer fun ;)

Iowa State Fair

It is Julie's B-Day! She was the first to use our special plate :)
What better way to celebrate than going to the fair?
We had to see some animals between our snacks on a stick!
Neigh, Neigh!
Quack, Quack!
"Hey, what are these for anyway??"
Peek-A-Boo! I See You!
Julie and I got free massages for her b-day (okay anyone could sign-up for one)!
Landon has his water and he is ready to hit the fields!

Shawn & George... these photos are for you ;)

Now do we look like Iowans!?!!
I had to MAKE Tim pose for this picture in front of the DMU booth!

It is hard to believe that this was me 11 months ago. Our lives sure have changed... we are so blessed to have Landon! I know that Julie is a proud grandma and was thrilled to spend her birthday with him.

Now if we could only talk her into staying for Landon's B-Day...

Hope you had a great Birthday Julie :)
