Granddaughter Olivia pictures....

 Dressed up and ready for church 7/20/2014!

 Good-looking family in early June, 2014.

She looks so relaxed and cute!!

While dad (Alex) is on summer break from teaching this summer he's been on dad-duty watching Olivia.... but I knew he hadn't dressed her like that yesterday (mom, Allison, dressed her before she left for work).

Beautiful day in Iowa!

 My daughter's/son-in-law's (Sam/Marty) dog, Stig, is 'visiting' for this past week, and this is the view I get regularly if I sit down.

 This is what little Miss Watson has done on the nice days this past week when we've been on the new deck!  Cute tummy!

 Stig's serious look.  He doesn't entertain himself well.

 Part of the crew relaxing on a cool (for July) day in Iowa (Patrick, Ron and Bogie).

Grace relaxes on the other bench.

 Miss Olivia seems happy (at her house) and ready for the day!

 Olivia, Dad (Alex) and Oliver get ready for a walk... 

 We saw this last week in the Menard's parking lot in Wisconsin.  Nice!

Miss Audrey chewing on a toy on a nice Sunday in the yard at mema's house celebrating her mom's (Amanda),  and Sam and Marty's birthdays!

                                     

This cute car was in the parking lot a grocery store in Iowa the other night.  Cute!

Pictures from this week.

 Watson, Ron and Patrick having supper last night.  

 The new bench/deck with boards so you can sit on it now.

The deck is done!!!  It's fabulous!!!  

 Well, the steps could use handrails, but I think they will be added soon.

Watson is relaxing in one of her 'big brother's beds....  she's really growing fast!

 I frequently have a little too much help when I change sheets on a bed! (from front; Patrick, Watson and Ronnie)

Olivia practicing her back float in the pool with mom Allison.  The only part of swimming she doesn't like is if/when she gets cold after she gets out of the pool!

More Miss Olivia pictures!!

 I'm a happy girl!!

 I'm busy playing on my mat.

Interior illumination!!  (It's a LIGHT!!)

A weekend with Miss Olivia!

 Grandpa John and Olivia discuss the plan for the day on Saturday morning.

 This is what Grandpa retrieved from a good friend of Olivia's who wanted Olivia to have it in her yard to play on when she's a little older.

 Miss Livvy grinning for the camera.  She's 5 months old now, and VERY busy!!  She's getting bigger and more active, too.

Mom (Allison) and Olivia take a dip in the pool on a warm Saturday.  Olivia likes the water and will be taking some baby swim lessons later this summer, too.

This is the play set ready to go for Olivia in her back yard.

The deck gets built!

 My very hard-working and talented carpenter son-in-law (Marty) started rebuilding our deck on his 4th of July holiday weekend!

 It was hot and humid (the fan was for moral support--to try to keep the bugs away, too) but he hammered and sawed and hardly took a break!

An action shot of Marty sawing and John 'helping'.....

The deck view to the west.  It's almost done!
