whirlwind weekend

Wow! We had a crazy weekend.
Friday I babysat my beautiful niece Isabella for half the day. Then around 12, my mom came to watch the girls while I took Isabella and Nolan to Sioux City to meet up with my SIL Kathy for pictures. We had some awesome pictures taken of Nolan and Isabella. They both turned out well. Then Friday night, we went to see our new nephew, Tysen. We got word early on Friday that Bethany had gone into labor and had a cute little baby boy. So of course we had to see him before we left for the weekend. He is adorable and I can't wait to spoil him and for him and Nolan to be best buds!
Saturday morning, Mark and Ellie left for Sutton Nebraska for a wedding of a college friend of his. They had about a 4hr drive there and were going to head out early so they could hang out with some other friends that were planning on being there.
Chloe, Nolan and I waited for my parents so we could all head to Ames IA for a wedding of my cousin. We took my dads truck and the kids did well. The wedding was beautiful and the reception food was good. I also got to see my cousins new little twin babies. They are 10weeks old and just adorable!!
After the wedding we headed to the hotel so Chloe could go swimming. It was Nolan's first time in a pool other the me holding him. I had a little tube thing that he could sit in while I held onto it. He did awesome and looked soo cute.
Sunday we checked out of the hotel and headed towards Pella IA. My uncle is turning 50 soon and my cousin wanted to surprise him. It was so funny when he walked in the house and we all shouted surprise, he about fell backwards. There's nothing like a good surprise! Then after some food it was time to head back home.
We hopped on the interstate and came home, on I-29 you could tell where the water had been due to the flooding. It was a little crazy! We made it home safely and then had to wind down.
It was a good weekend seeing family and friends. We have a semi busy week and then the weekend is sounding booked again. Then next weekend we leave probably on Wednesday night/Thursday morning for Story City for another family fun packed weekend. Oh my head is spinning just thinking about the crazy busyness that is soon to be upon us!.
