Busy, busy weekend

We had another fun but very busy weekend that started off quite interesting. We took off Friday and headed up to Iowa and on the way up our tire blew out. Luckily the car handled it very well and we just happened to be right by an exit so Ryan was able to pull off and get it changed quickly but we did have to completely unpack our very packed car and then reload everything back up after the tire was switched out. Luckily Ryan has had to change a tire in my car before so he knew just what to do and the boys were amazing through the whole event. Once we got to Iowa we headed to Keith and Jan’s for naps and some playtime and then met my mom down at the capital to get a tour and show Gavin where she works. He loved getting to see her office and run around the capital and still talks about getting to go to Grandma’s big building. Below are some pictures and a cute video of Gavin from the visit.

On Saturday we headed up to Ames for the Iowa State/Iowa game. Derek and Jenny were there with their kids and then Jen brought Avrie so Gavin had lots of playmates. It was a beautiful day for the game and both boys did really great and we were able to stay for the entire game and what a great game it was!! It was cute because Cy came to visit us during the game and we were trying to get Gavin and Avrie to take a picture with him but there were both a little shy/scared so we never ended up getting one but after he left Gavin was watching the game and said hey there’s that bird and then wanted to spot him the entire game and still talks about Cy. Maybe next game we can get his picture with him now that he’s warmed up a little bit. After the game Gavin and Wyatt passed out in the car on the way to Des Moines and then Gavin had fun playing with Will and Addie the rest of the night. It was so great to get to spend some time with them since we don’t get to see them very often.















On Sunday we had Wyatt’s baptism and are so thankful for all the family members that were able to attend his ceremony and be part of his special day. He did so great through it all and didn’t even cry when he got the water poured on his head. After a fun afternoon of celebrating and lots of eating we headed home and both Gavin and Wyatt must have been pretty worn out from the weekend because they both slept the entire way home!!
