Weekend & Labor Day

Friday night our weekend began with Papa and Grandma visiting... and staying with us.  We stayed in, grilled out... and played. 

Saturday was the first Iowa Football game!  (I should be more excited, but I'm not... ha.)  It just ends up being a super busy time in our lives, and we just don't get to have Ryan home.  Anyway, Ryan and his dad headed over to the game...  kids, JeanAnn and I hung out.  I actually had a hair appointment Saturday morning, so I was away for a couple hours.  Then we did lunch, and a Target run.  Cora rested, and we just layed low.  I didn't even watch the game! 

The guys got home at a good time... we had a quick supper at home... then that was our day! 

Sunday we had church outside at a near-by park.  I enjoyed that!!!  And the kids got to play at the play set.  Score.  However, they both were crabby and just not very good for us.  We did lunch out, which may have been a mistake, as both of them were in tears at one point.  Awesome.  So we headed home and they both rested.  Yes, even Kayson. 

Meanwhile, I got us packed up... and once they were awake, we headed down to Creston.  Everyone was going to be home for the Labor Day celebration...  we always have a nice time.  The boys (both big and small) went to the tractor pulls in Diagonal, while us girls (big and small) just stayed at the house and played.  We grilled out and enjoyed supper, then Bill, Joni and their family visited, which was fun.  The kids played hard, as Colby and Kylie were there!  Sweaty boys! 

And Monday was the Labor Day parade in Diagonal...  lots and lots of tractors, old cars and candy.  It was a warm morning too, so I was sweaty!!  ha.  Kayson loved it...  and Cora was being shy.  She just sat the majority of the time while Kayson brought her some candy!!   Lazy princess.  :)  After the parade, we headed to Grandma's farm for lunch.  Everyone was there, and we had such a good time.  The kids just play so hard...  Kayson loves the farm, even better when his cousins are there.  It was nice to just visit with everyone. 

We headed home mid-afternoon...  home to do some more cleaning and laundry.  And the kids hit the sack early, they were so tired.  We finally got Ryan's bathroom stuff moved down to the basement bath... I got mine moved over to the master, and the kids' stuff into the hall bath.  Everything is clean, and somewhat organized!  Then I was tired! 

It was a nice 3-day weekend.

Pictures below!

Lucky to have this Grandma in our lives - 99 years old!
Yes, she wrote on her leg - her name.  Not sure the people 'watching' her didn't stop her!
Have to have a picture on Papa's mower!
