Fun in Iowa



Here are a couple of fun clips from our time in Iowa

A Palsma Picnic!










We enjoyed a wonderful family picnic at Uncle Paul and Aunt Lisa's farm. This was something I had heard about for years, but was my first time. It was a beautiful evening filled with wonderful family and great food. Of course the night wouldn't have been complete without a baseball game, which ended when the ball got lost in the bean field.

Our Visit to Iowa






We had a wonderful time on our trip to Iowa to visit Stephen's grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. We spent our first few hours introducing Greyson to his grandmas and taking some four generation pictures. We also had the chance to see Stephens aunt and uncle from Minnesota. Greyson was incredible I know I've said this a lot but he is such a happy fun baby to be around.

Some Random Times





We had a lot of random fun times while we were home. One afternoon we decided to go to Walmart with Joel and he drove the big green machine. Greyson loved it for sure! Stephen also thought it was great that Walmart had Alaska Salmon and he made me take a picture of it.

Our Trip to Camp Moses Merrill








About half way through our time in Nebraska we headed to Fremont where Stephen is from. It was great spending time with his brothers and parents. One afternoon Greyson, Stephen, Paul and I headed out to Camp Moses Merrill. This was the camp that Stephen and I might and we also got engaged here. We had fun walking some of the trails, and I had fun watching Stephen and Paul play tennis

Fun at the Farm







Here are a few more pictures from my farm. Stephen and I had a lot of fun going out to the river and going through my dad's garden

Lots of Family in Nebraska







We had a wonderful time with all the grandparents and aunts and uncles. Greyson was particularly interested in his uncle Joel. Whenever he entered the room Greyson attention was directed right to him. Everyone said Greyson looked a lot like a Foreman and I would have to agree

Horse Riding on the Farm





The second day out at my parents farm we all enjoyed riding horses together. It was something that I really wanted to do and it was so nice to see Big Red and my dad's newest addition Tony. My dad and I also got to out for a ride together (something that was on my top five things I wanted to do at home). That night we enjoyed a bonfire complete with s'mores!

Our Perfect Trip To Nebraska!







Stephen, Greyson and I just returned from a two week trip home to Nebraska. We had such an amazing time, made incredible memories and were blessed to be with family the entire trip! As I looked through the pictures everything, I couldn't think of anything that I would have wanted to change. We loved watching Greyson meet everyone and there is no question he has turned into a very happy baby.
The first half of our trip was spent out with my parents in central Nebraska at the farm I grew up at. My sister and her three children came out for a couple of days and we all had a great time riding horses, playing in the water (and mud) and just sitting around the table talking. Greyson also got to meet his Great Grandpa and Grandma Westing.
