Jeffrey is 4!

For Jeffrey's 4th birthday, we decided to play it low-key. His preschool class had a field trip scheduled to the pumpkin farm, so Dave and I went with Jeffrey. Afterward, we got to have chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting at the preschool. It was a great birthday!

Jeffrey was so excited to get a fireman costume to dress up in.

Silly faces!

Jeffrey's 1st day of Preschool

Jeffrey's started preschool on September 2, 2008 this year. The Grinnell College Preschool is wonderful with great teachers and lots of learning toys. Jeffrey loves it!

Iowa State Fair

This year we decided to go to the Iowa State Fair. It is suppose to be one of the best, so we went to check it out.

There were miles of vendors selling everything from pork on a stick, to fried candy bars, and of course the 1/2 lb fried pork tenderloin sandwich.

What a fun day!

Driving to Utah

Dave got a little bored while all of us were sleeping on the 16+ hour drive to Utah. So, he pulled out the camera and was taking pictures while driving.
