Iowa Part 1!

July 14-19 we traveled to Pella, Iowa for a family reunion/see Matthew's family!  We always try to travel to Iowa at least once every summer and for the past few years, Matthew's extended family has been in Pella too so we have planned it around that.  It was great to see everyone and to catch up with those we see about once a year!  It was also a great opportunity to show off our newest addition (Nolan) as a lot of people had not met him yet!
So the airport in Minneapolis is awesome! They had a whole indoor playground for children-a great way for Cayden to burn off some energy between flights! 

The boys in the play area!

When we arrived in Pella we had an early graduation party with Matthew's extended family-a great excuse to get the best cupcakes and have everyone there to help us celebrate Matthew's accomplishments!

Daddy and Cayden waiting to eat the cupcakes!

Nolan meeting Uncle Erik!

Part of the family eating a lot of desserts-note to self, if you are trying to lose pregnancy weight, do not travel to Iowa, they have too much yummy food and so many "coffee times" with more yummy food :)

Cayden eating the frosting of the cupcake (about the only part he ever eats).

Opa and Nolan

GG loving on Nolan!

Awww :)

Riley and Cayden are close in age and have a great time together! Unfortunately this was the only picture I got of them the whole weekend!
Can you guess who these people are?  We had a caricature come and draw the different families, I don't think it looks much like us, but that's my opinion!
I had to split up the posts because there was too many pictures, so more to come!
