Taytem and Mommy rode a ride together called the Sizzler! It was a lot fun until about 5 minutes went by! Taytem was laughing so hard because we were ready for it to stop! Mommy kept asking if she was alright and she couldn't even talk, she was laughing so hard. Peyten was a trooper, she hung with us the whole night! What a great weekend!

This was Taytem absolute favorite ride! She rode this kids rollercoaster 6 times!!! Daddy wasn't ready for her to be this big, so he hesitated to put her on, but she begged and he gave in. The first time around Mommy was trying to hold back tears, we aren't ready for this cute little girl to get soooo big, so fast!

Taytem and Peyten got to play the "pick a duck" game. The great prize was what Peyten is playing with..:(

Taytem loving the rides and Peyten just hanging out until Daddy said lets take her on the Merry Go Round. The nice guy let Peyten on, but wasn't supposed to!!!

We found Ellie again at the parade and the girls were getting bored, due to the 2 Hour parade, so we went and fed the ducks again. Only this time Carrie and Casey, Ellie's parents, had food!!! Then Ellie and Taytem thought the park looked better, so away they went without telling us!

Finally the parade has started after an hour of waiting and now Taytem is happy with her popsicle and ALL of her candy! She was getting a little impatient with waiting on the first picture, can you tell?

Parade is about to Start and Peyten wanted to give kisses, aww

This was the morning of the Summerfest Parade where Nate had to go put our blankets down at 6:30 AM to get a good spot. It was so hot that the girls and I went on a walk and met up with the ducks that come right up to you. To bad we didn't bring food!

First Night at the Carnival and we didn't leave until 10pm!!!! Taytem loved the rides

Carnival at Ankeny Summerfest! WE had such a great time, we even met up with Ellie, Taytem's friend. They had such a great time

Peyten is now feeding herself!!!!!!! She is growing up right before our eyes. She is also standing alone and wanting to walk...where does time go?

The night of Daddy's Birthday we celebrated by going to The Olive Garden and then went to Toys R Us to get Peyten this baby that she absolutely loves! Taytem got a movie and a new Limbo game

Papa Mark and Grandma Linda came to visit us too! We had so much fun. We went to Bass

Pro shop for Lunch and looked around at all the animals were Taytem got her picture taken for a magazine and painted a skunk foot print!

Wow I think Peyten really liked Daddy's Cake
