Diane and Garry are brave enough to take the Buhler bunch to Pikes Peak. The beauty of Iowa NEVER ceases to amaze us! After a whole week with us, I feel confident that Diane and Garry both, are well prepared for future grandchildren!
We were lucky enough to be in Iowa to celebrate Kevin's little boy Malaki's 1st birthday. Here, I assembled the kids for a quick picture. Walker, on the drums, Cori with Malaki, Maddie with Meredith, Maxwell, Timmy, and Weston. If you don't recognize them as mine, they are Leta and Kevins'.
Malaki, in the middle of his birthday cake, to quote Max, (not necessarily proudly) "holy crap" he is cute!
Malaki, gets a quick bath from mom after his cake!
My littlest brother somehow became my big brother. I am SO proud of him!
My family, the Lockards. Here they are. Beautiful still at 90! The biggest surprise? My cousin Scott from Florida. What luck!
The Magee cousins hang out at the Denver park. Weston shows us how far his ears will stretch. I am having Darren flashbacks!
The trip to Iowa ends here with the Magee reunion gathered lovingly by Aunt Jeanette. It proves to be too short that's for sure! I leave Iowa feeling like I've seen everyone but not for as long as I had hoped. Even so, my kids get a glimpse of where I come from and who their grandparents were. What a wonderful trip!

Colleen, you are SO hilarious! You could be the next Erma Bombeck. You have such a great sense of humor - just like your moms! It was wonderful to see you when you were here. Let's make plans to see each other again next summer!!
Love, Janice
Colleen,
I love your blog and all the cute notes about your family! Erma Bombeck is my hero because she speaks so much of the truth about motherhood! Thanks for sharing!
Love Jerri
