Graduation, cousins and the farm

For Memorial Day weekend we headed to the farm to visit the Meiners family and celebrate cousin Samantha's high school graduation.  Hard to believe that when I met her she was just 10 years old.  Now she will be headed off to Iowa State soon.  Check out Sam's awesome art that she had on display for her party!

We also got to meet several cousins including new cousin Baby Abby who was born just after Easter.

Sporting some new Iowa State gear.

There are 12 grandchildren in the Meiners family ranging in age from 25 years to 6 weeks with one more coming in July.  Here are the 4 little cousins - Grace (2), her sister Abby (6 wks), Kaitlyn (2.5) and Alex.

Alex and Abby (6 wks)  I couldn't put them too close together as Alex was excited and waving his arms all over.  I was afraid he was going to smuck her.

Cousins Grace (2) and Kaitlyn (2.5) playing dress up.  Where ever did Grace find that wig?!

Alex and Kaitlyn.  Kaitlyn looks ready to be a big sister.  Just a few more weeks until her little brother/sister arrives.
