Barts Aunt Ruth was visiting from Texas this weekend. On Monday we met up with them for lunch. This is Rick & Bart with Aunts Ruth, Linda and Kathy and cousins Deb and Michelle. Bart was emotional (surprise) a few times - his Aunts are so much like his mom. (we had fun other than me spilling Ricks beer and my pop. 2 Separate incidents - - - hmmm eat out much.)

We're missing Cole - - but here's Ava with her Grandpa and Great-Grandpa.

Sweet little Andy came with his mom and dad to visit too. He is 5 months old and a very nice little guy. He liked the river and his great-grandpa!

Larrys family from Colorado visited Ia this 4th of July. Since they would be traveling on Emilys actual birthday - we celebrated Sunday on the beach! Probably a birthday Emily will always remember!

Speaking of Ashley Caley Stoppel - the baby mama - This commercial always reminds me of her. Love it!

Rick & Pam are grandparents too! This lil' sweetie was born on Friday afternoon to Ashley & Cody - Congratulations to All!

Ava at 1 week - she's quite tired of her Aunt Sharon after today. She was an angel - I'm the one that struggled. Newborn pictures are HARD! She wasn't sleepy enough to mold yet but I heart her! big puffy heart!
