Weekend - Kiddos meet their new cousin!

The weather here in Iowa has been amazing...  spring like conditions (sometimes a tad warm in the sun!).  Friday when we got home... the kiddos played outside with the neighbor kids.  I sat outside with them as well...  talked with the little girls and giggled.  It was pretty sweet.  
Ryan had a drink with a coworker up at Jethros... so we ended up meeting him up there for a quick supper.  Then back home to bed. 

Saturday morning we got up and at em... headed out the door around 8:00 to Sioux City.  It was the best time for us (and them) to get over there to have the kids meet Rhett.  That Taylor household has been busy this past week and half of Rhett's life...  and we added to the chaos!  

The minute we got there...  Cora was all in with Rhett.  She loved him from the minute she saw him... it was the sweetest thing ever.  She held him at least 100 times!  (I might be exaggerating, but she did hold him a lot - and she did awesome with him).  :)   Kayson wasn't as interested in holding him, however, he was super sweet with Rhett --- talking to him, and touching his hands...  he did hold him once, and Kayson said "That was nice."  Sweet.  

Basically our Saturday was filled with tending to the 'big kids' - playing then fighting, then playing, then pouting.  I'm ready for them to be big and not have to deal with that!  (I shouldn't say that...  I don't want them to grow up, but then I kind of do!!!)  Regardless, they were outside most of the day too, so that was good.  There were times during the day that I honestly kind of forgot about Rhett - he is such a good baby!  :)  Super sweet.

Sunday we got up and hung out...  then Rhett was having his newborn photo shoot done, so I went with Martina to that.  They had Tate and Lanny come too for a few sibling shots, which they did well...  then they left to go back to the house.  Martina and I enjoyed a couple hours at the photographers studio...  the photographer was great, and super patient!  Pretty cool.  Rhett did amazing.  :)

Then from there...  lunch was had... and we got on the road about 2:00.  Exhausted. 

And to top off our exhaustion, we had pizza plans with Mart's Sunday night.  I mean it worked out great, cuz I obviously didn't have time to get to the grocery store, but we were tired.  BUT - we had a nice visit with them, and the kids did do well.  Success.  

Here are some pics from the weekend...

See them?  Stick on earrings.  hahaha.  :)
