A trip to the south

This weekend we went to Tulsa Oklahoma to visit uncle Joe and his family. It was a long ride, but Addison did great!

We paid $2.98 a gallon for gas!

Eating her first (of many in the coming years I'm sure) candy necklace to keep her happy in the car.



sleeping on the floor in the hotel. I told her if she got up early enough we would take her swimming. At 7:30 she woke up, looked at the clock and said "a.m. Pool mama" - the things kids remember!



Sound asleep on the ride home - she finally fell asleep just south of Des Moines!

Playing in the Snow!!!!!!!!

If there is one thing that the Vest's always love about winter time in Iowa it is the snow we always get. It makes all of the cold weather worth it. I have memories of getting the four wheeler's out on the farm and playing in the snow for hours and hours. Lora loved to go into Sundown in Dubuque so she could ski. We all love playing in the snow.

Addison's first time putting on the snow suit and playing in the snow was last weekend. She had a great time ridding in her new snow sled. She had lots of fun, until Dad started to pull the sled and she thought I was going a little bit too fast.  Below is a few more pictures of the great time she had.

This picture is of Addison and Mommy throwing snow balls at Daddy.

Addison had to try and pull the sled herself.

This is of Addison trying to make a snow angel like Mommy just did.

Addison then tried her hand shoveling snow. She had a lot of fun helping me clear the driveway. It was very funny watching her move the snow around with her little shovel.

Addison found her taste for the new snow as well.
