Weekend in Rockford

This past weekend we went to Rockford for Mark's 30th birthday party. Maren's parents had a big party at their house, and we had a great time visiting with family. My cousin Jenn and her little one Clare came from Maryland, so that made the weekend even more special. I hadn't seen them since last summer so it was wonderful to be able to spend some time with them.



Jenn and I hadn't seen each other in a year and we both showed up wearing brown shirts, jean shorts, and brown flip-flops. And our hair is the same length! It's that crazy cousin connection we have.


Clare didn't really know who I was at first, but she wanted to come right to me!



Clare had so much fun playing with Chloe cuz she's just her size!




You know a dog is small when they are shorter than a one year old standing up!



Checking out the baby pigs. Maren's Dad raises pigs so it's always fun to go see the newest ones. These piglets were only three days old. Maren is such a good sport about getting the pigs out for the little kids to see. She used to show pigs at the fair when she was younger so she has a lot of experience handling them.

And with Grandpa.


What could be more fun than a toy barn?

Me and the birthday boy. He's so old!
