A BIG ouchie, Double Baptism, and the Apple Orchard

Our trip to Iowa went without any disasters....well mostly! Mya fell smack dab on the cement with her face {wait, it gets better!} a whoppin 5 MINUTES before the baptism. Yeah, are you kidding me? Geez Louise! So all weekend she looked like this---

My poor baby. She just tries so hard to keep up with the big kids. Unfortunately those big kids have long legs and run faster, a lot faster, than she does. And she ends up biting the dust. This happened multiple times throughout our weekend so she is now our little warrior with battle wounds:-)

Two little cousins....two weeks apart. Adorable!

Macy and Alana, who where of course the double baptism! We are Alana's Godparents, Adi and Ashley are Macys. Is that the neatest thing ever or what?!?

Funny Face!

After the baptism I guess its a tradition to throw coins and then the kids pick it all up. And its not just $10.00! Between Adi and Alfredo I think there was close to $100.00. Lucky little squirts! They all enjoyed it....and the "big kids" did too :-)

Kaiden was happy!

Mya was putting all of her money in her pockets...smart girl!

The next day we all went to the apple orchard. I have never been to one but it was a lot of fun and there was some very yummy apples! Honeycrisp were the absolute best. The kids enjoyed watching a movie and their suckers on the drive there...too darn cute! Macy enjoyed watchin the kids from the second row. It gave her something to look at besides the back of the seat!

Mya, Kaiden and Kendra

I think the most handsome thing in the entire world is a great daddy hauling around his little chunker!

All of the older kids taking a picture but they really wanted to go get some apples!

Kaiden, Eva, Kendra, Mya

I believe Macy is thinking "Why am I holding this apple, I can't eat it!"

Picking the best one

Kaiden's expression is priceless

We had a great time in Iowa and I know I say this everytime but I wish we lived closer to them. I'm sure if we did then Mya would have to wear a helmet!!! LOL!
