the fair

our friends nikki and dan and their two boys met us for an afternoon at the fair. we spent most of our time in the barns looking at the animals. javan and landon loved being so close to all of the animals while nolan and josiah just relaxed in their strollers:) it was hot outside so we didn't stay too long. but definitely fun for about and hour or so.

road trip to iowa

Josiah and I went to visit my friend Allison who has a baby about Josiah's age. Javan got to spend some quality time with daddy, grandma, and grandpa while josiah and I hung out and relaxed with his new buddy Everett:) They seemed to really enjoy each other! Wish we could see them more often. We had a wonderful time together!
