Kyle’s ENTIRE (siblings, cousins, aunts, & uncles…everyone!) family came home for the 4th of July holiday so we spent the weekend in Poky! But before we left on Saturday, Kyle and I got in a 10 miler and headed up to Mom & Dad B’s house.
Just an FYI…picture heavy post! ;)
Mel has been taking cake decorating classes so she made one for Grandma DeWall’s birthday!
Kyle’s sister, Sarah came home as well with her husband Brian and their daughter, Arianna. They live in CO, so we don’t get to see them too often. Arianna wanted to help Aunt Mel! ;)
We got Arianna a few things…just ‘cause shopping for little clothes is SO fun! I was worried she wouldn’t be too impressed that they weren’t toys…but I was wrong! She loved her new clothes!
She is quite the meticulously little thing…I think she folded and re-folded those clothes about 10+ times!
Kyle had to test out Arianna’s chair! She said he was too big! ;) Abby wanted to try it out too!

The final product! Great job Mel!! Unfortunately we had to wait until Sunday night to eat it when the whole family was there!
Arianna quickly warmed up to Abby!! It was pretty cute!
And I think Arianna quickly warmed up to Aunt Darci too! ;) We had lots of fun spinning in the roller chairs!
Late afternoon everyone headed into Poky to go bowling, but not before a stop at Grandma & Grandpa’s house so Arianna could give the tractor a spin!
Her legs weren’t quite long enough, but she had fun anyway!
Our CO fam…Sarah, Arianna, & Brian!
Ok, on to bowling!
Grandpa & Grandma DeWall
Steve is a pro…he was saying “no pictures please”!
Grandma B kept Arianna entertained while everyone bowled! She sure loves her Grandma!! :)
Steve gave Kyle a few pointers…like how to put a spin on the ball….
it didn’t go so well the first time around!
But the next time was a different story….spare! :)
Steve & Mel…our Chicago fam!! 
Grandma B & Arianna!
After bowling everyone enjoyed a yummy supper and then we headed outside to watch our own fireworks display!
Arianna wasn’t too sure of the fireworks…but she didn’t want to go inside either. She just sat on Grandma’s lap with her fingers in her ears!
Stay tuned for Day 2, the 4th of July!
