Friday's Funny~a special lady

While our doors swing open to one and all, over the Easter holiday it swung open to a very special lady...Grandma Iowa!  While we had just seen her in California in February, it was a super special treat to have her come out over the holiday & celebrate the Easter season with us.   Below are some pictures from her visit...

 We picked her up in Peoria and then headed home...Haven was asleep when Mom jumped in the car so when she woke up about 10 minutes from home, she got this great big smile on her face when she saw Grandma in the car ;)

 waiting for breakfast...Grandma Iowa may disown me for this picture! :)

dying Easter eggs on Saturday...

 tea parties in the playhouse...Grandma Iowa is so brave-she even climbed up on Haven's swing set & went DOWN the slide!!!

 we toured Watershed with Arlan and then headed to Subway for lunch...

 ...and HAD to stop at DQ on the way home :)

 Grandma showed Haven how to "make cookies" with play-dough

 we went bowling with some NPL bowling passes...Grandma Iowa was quite a bowler in her day but unfortunately even the bumper pads didn't help us beat Daddy---trust me, it still wasn't impressive...Daddy didn't break 3 digits :)

 we made a Starbuck's run before...

...taking Grandma Iowa to the airport :(

Thanks again for coming Mom...it is SO special when you come & we love having you!

Haven's memories from your trip:

1. Grandma went down the slide.

2. Grandma taught me how to blow your wrapper off your straw (at Olive Garden, no less) 

3. Grandma likes to shop!

Friday's Funny - my helper

"coupon clipping" helper for me  + scissors practice for Haven = WIN-WIN

PVF

This past Friday was the 3rd Annual PVF cow sale...I'm probably not even getting the title right as while we are supportive of our brother & sis-in-law, Alan and Theresa, we have very little to do with the enourmous success & hard work they have put into Prairie View Farm's angus history...we just get to enjoy the sale & take pictures! Congratulations guys on a great sale!
It was a lovely Spring day with great food and a great crowd.

trip to the dentist

In mid-March Haven experienced her first trip to the dentist...she was very brave & very curious about what all goes on at the dentist, instruments used & whether or not it was finally "her turn" in the dentist chair.  Dr. Supan and his hygenists did a fabulous job!

Friday's Funny~love of...

Mannequins!!!

Should I be worried?  Is this normal for a 3 year old?  Does she just really want a sibling that bad?  Or is this her imaginary friends(IF) named  Euna, Laura, Jella coming to life? 

[fyi: laura is the oldest IF at age 5; Jella is her Ugandan IF; and Euna always seems to have birthday parties so can't recall her current age]

 

I can't figure it out...she LOVES taking pictures with mannequins & statues, particularly at Old Navy....not that I go there...too much :)

 picture #1: Old Navy

 picture #2: Spare N Share

 picture #3: Bloomington's airport

 picture #4: Old Navy again...although her jacket & hat are the same...oh, no-this is a different picture (check the shoes :)

picture #5: Macy's

picture #6: last Fall at the NPL Halloween party...she was "holding his hand"

picture #7: this kind of counts...last summer at the IL State Fair :)
