Potato Sack Race

While I was changing sheets today, Haydn got into Hannah's, Hannah Montana pillowcase! Funny girl!!

While the cat is away...the mice will play

Hannah is spending a few days in Mt Ayr. Mom and dad do this each summer. Each grandchild gets to stay in MA without other siblings. Hannah is first, she is busy 3 of the 4 weeks of July. It is amazing how talkative Haydn has been. It is like you can tell her mind is spinning with so much to say. I have painted to finger/toenails. Played a lot outside today, beautiful weather here. She is pretty easy to entertain.

Uncle Mark and Ken hosted a garage party last night. Those in attendance were mom & dad, Davidson's, Pratt's, Roe's, McDonnell's, Joni, Aunt Ann, Ann Smith, Fiihr's & Joan & Kendall. A beautiful night for a garage party. Lots of good food and friends...what else do you need??

Beauty Mark

Haydn was rubbing her nose on the carpet last night and got this rug burn.

Vada's Visit

Vada and Anna Leigh are spending the night with us tonight. We moved our old couch out into the street for our "neighborhood watch" tonight. Was a beautiful night for a cold beer! Had our family picture taken on the couch with the bright orange safety fence along with the road closed sign. Can you say redneck..??!! Might be our x-mas card?! We all are having so much fun with AL and Vada here. Luckily we know they are coming back in July!!

Summer in Iowa

Today feels like a hot, muggy, sticky Iowa summer day. After Haydn woke up from her nap we went out for some water fun. Haydn wouldn't get too close to the spraying water. Hannah had fun though.

Kayren getting a b-day gift from Anna Leigh

Tuesday night Kayren and I went to MA. Wednesday morning mom, Kayren and I left for KC to pick AL and Vada up from the airport. It was great to see Anna Leigh and Vada! We haven't seen Vada since x-mas so she has changed A LOT!! We shopped a little in KC, spent the night and headed back to Mt Ayr on Thursday. The 5 other grandkids were in Mt Ayr by the time we got back. Vada was cared for/picked on the rest of the weekend. The adults golfed on Friday night. Poor Mike had us 3 Watson girls on his team. Wes had to work late, he made it for the last 3 holes. We came in dead last but it was a lot of fun. Saturday we had Gina Gunsolley's wedding in Maloy and reception in Mt Ayr. Was a beautiful wedding. Didn't get one shot of the bride or groom! Today we celebrated Vada's 1st birthday. She had 3 little girls to help open her gifts. Porter was napping or he would of been in the thick of it also. The girls decorated cupcakes for the party. It is hard to believe she will be 1 on the 30th!! It was a fun week/end.

Round 2

Haydn got to join in today for the sprinkler fun. Of course Haydn has to have her goggles too!! Another beautiful day here.
