Happy 60th Birthday, Grandpa Jack!!!

Isabella's Grandma Linda and Grandpa Jack came for the weekend and we all had a wonderful time. On Friday night we went out to eat with Uncle John and Aunt Kristy. On Sat. Grandma, Grandpa, Isabella, Jeff and I all went out on a garage sale excursion.
It was Coralville's city wide garage sales and although we came home with a lot of good finds, I was a little disappointed.
We mainly got Isabella some clothes, which she really doesn't need, but I can't pass up items of clothing that are 10 cents - 1 dollar. And if it is cute and in good condition, I can't pass it up. Also, shoes for 50 cents, it is so crazy sometimes. She mainly needs summer hats, summer shoes and outdoor toys, and I didn't see much of that so that is why I was a little disappointed.
Grandpa Jack documented the outing with pictures, and it is kind of funny to see pictures of yourself at garage sales.

(we ended up with both the items we are inspecting here...)

I think we all had a good time though, and Isabella enjoyed herself as well. She proved she was tuckered out by taking a 3hr + nap that afternoon!



Grandma and Grandpa babysit while Jeff and I went to Kevin and Maria's wedding.
We stopped back home between the wedding and reception and things were running smoothly. Aunt Loo and Uncle Bill came to visit from Madison as a surprise for Grandpa Jack's b-day. We left the whole crew at our place with Isabella (including Uncle John and Aunt Kristy) while we went to the wedding reception. It sounds like everyone had a fun time with Isabella. And we had a fun time without Isabella at the reception.

On Sunday we all went to brunch for Grandpa's b-day.

We walked outside at the Iowa River Power Company and Isabella chased after some dogs (her latest obsession) - pointing and saying "dag, dag" whenever she sees one.

We sat at special table in the restaraunt overlooking the water and ate all the yummy food.

After a quick trip to Kinnick Stadium and checking out Uncle John and Aunt Kristy's new house in North Liberty we headed back to our place to hang out.
It turned into a game of catch, kite flying, bubble blowing, weeding party.

We decided our flower bed needed major help and started a weeding process but only got about 10 percent of it done. I swear I'm going to keep working on it.... I hate looking at that and I haven't done anything with it ever, so it needs some help.



It was a fun, fun weekend and I have to say Isabella was an absolute angel all weekend long. She warmed right up to everyone, she needed no timeouts, she didn't make me frustrated one single time. It was great!!


Also, in our latest attempt to get Isabella to wear hairbows, we showed her how good they look in Daddy's hair.

She actually wanted it in her hair after that. I wonder if I can get Jeff to use that as his Facebook photo....


I'm way behind on posting pictures to Flickr, but should be able to catch up soon!!!
