Happy 4th of July!!

Hope everyone had a fun and safe holiday.  Last year on this day we were heading home from the hospital. It's crazy to think, this was actually Quentin's 2nd Independence day and he still has not seen fireworks. That will change next weekend when Ankeny's Summerfest is going on.

A special Happy Birthday to my dad. I hope you know how much you're loved and appreciated.

One of my favorite pics. 

We headed to my cousin Kristy's house for majority of the day Sunday. It was great to see the family and finally meet little Olive, who is adorable. Q was exhausted, as were Jeremy and I, so we didn't stay for fireworks.

Q kept pointing to the basketball hoops
so Jeremy lifted him up. He loved it and
wanted to do it more. 

An attempt to get a picture of all the 1st cousins.

Getting a pic of all the 2nd cousins was actually easier. 

Q loved playing on the stairs.  

Poor Frodo had been home the last 2 days alone, with no one to lick. So today, we decided to hang out at home. We played with all of Q's new toys, read books and caught up on some r and r.
