Happy Anniversary, Doug. I love you so much. Thanks for being a wonderful husband and a terrific father. Thanks for the memories we have created thus far, and I look forward to many more years and many more memories to come.
About a week and a half ago, we started Reba on rice cereal.
...and her very first reaction
She quickly got the hang of it, but she thinks she is ready to do it herself!
Happy baby girl - once her tummy is full
As a side note: Reba had recently started waking up through the night wanting to nurse, but since starting on the cereal she has returned to sleeping through the night!
This evening we all headed out to Lake Iowa (a state park about 3-4 miles west of our house) to do a little fishin'.
We finally convinced Dallas to touch it
I even got in on the action and caught this guy...
Reba wasn't impressed
We had a lot of fun catching about a dozen bluegills...unfortunately, they were too small to keep.
We started the long weekend by going to see Big Bud! In case you don't know Big Bud 747 is the world's largest tractor, and it is currently on display at Heartland Acres in Independence, IA.
Yes, that's a camera on the back of the tractor...there is a "1977's" TV inside the cab (We were joking with the Q&A guy that if this was built again today, it would be a flat screen monitor and the camera would only be a couple inches big!)
You know you are special when your name is made into the tire
We didn't spend our entire time looking at Big Bud, we went to visit the animals...
pumped some water...
and sat on some antique tractors...
Until next time...
A few minutes later - Dallas: "Hey?!? What's she doing in here?"
And, a little later - Dallas: "Reba, who?"
Until next time...
