A Trip to Madison to Visit the Aunts

The boys and I made a trip yesterday to visit Amy and Sarah in Madison. Amy recently bought a house there and this was the first time I was able to get there to see it. The house is located out in the country on an acreage and the weather was beautiful so we spent a lot of time outside!





I brought up Brady's bike, and he had room to peddle around the house without the risk of heavy traffic!


Amy's boyfriend has a black lab that was there to play with. She was great with the kids and will chase after tennis balls. (The pug doesn't play fetch so much....)


Kyle has a "whip-it" that really launches the balls. Brady was trying really hard to get it to go as far as Aunt Amy can!

We took along a kite too! All the open space was perfect!


Then we took a break. This happened 10 mins after we came inside. Blake crashed earlier -all that fresh air!

Aunt Sarah came over after work to play too. Blake had a good time showing her everywhere one can possibly get squash when eating!

Big Help in the Bath


Blake loves taking a bath, and Brady love to help! Of course that means that both children end up wet, but it's good clean fun! My bathroom on the other hand...............

A trip to Urbandale

Yesterday Brady, Blake and I braved the 2 1/2 hr car trip to Urbandale to visit new baby Andrew Vogel! (Kristin Cavanagh's baby) He was so sweet, and Brady just adored him. He even asked to hold him. It was a fun trip despite Blake's vocal objections to his car seat for 45 min both ways! Thanks for the lovely afternoon Vogels!
