Iowa, playdates, etc.

I have been kind of a slacker updating my blog. Kajsa was sick with the flu last week, which ended up with an ear infection and plus she is getting some molar teeth. So she sure hasn't been herself lately and I can't wait to get the happy, fun-loving girl back! So I am updating my blog with some things I have gotten to do in the past month. At the beginning of August, I got the chance to drive to Iowa with my parents and sister to attend my oldest nephew's baptism. I got it all arranged so that Kajsa was with her Aunt Jenny or her Farmor Christel (grandma) when Simon was working. We left on Thursday night and drove all the way to Grimes, Iowa and arrived on Friday afternoon. We got to see the pretty countryside of Iowa, not to mention a ton of corn fields (the Pioneer seed company fields did look the best David!). Then on Saturday it was Cole's baptism. I was so glad that I got a chance to be there for his special day. I still can't believe he is 8 years old! WOW! Then after we went to church on Sunday, we drove home all through the night and got home Monday afternoon. It was fun to see David, Sherrie, and the kids again.



Kajsa and I have had some fun hanging out with some of my friends and their kids. At the end of July we went to Laura's house (a college roommate) to hang out with her and Ariana. They are only 6 weeks apart and although they seemed to be shy at first, I think they ended up having fun.
I think Kajsa could have sat all day on Ari's little Dora couch. She seemed to know how to lay back and relax! :)

Then last week Kajsa and I met up with some of my high school friends. Shawna, Jacob, and Gavin came and picked up Kajsa and I and then we went to Sara's house to play! Rahndi also came with her cute new baby Levi. Kajsa did not want to join in on the swimming part of it, but she wasn't shy about eating!



Sara's 4 year old Abby was so nice to share her fun pool with everyone.

And the cute little Gavin and Levi had fun watching!
