Filson with his own Dari Sweet baby coneIt is hard to believe that we have already been in Iowa for over a week. The time has flown by as we have been BUSY!! The boys & I flew to Kansas City last Wednesday morning and the flight went pretty well, considering I was travelling with 2 little ones extremely early in the morning. Filson thought it was pretty neat to have his own seat.
Kayren, Stella & Porter were down to visit on Thursday & on Friday Sara, Hannah & Haydn came down. Vada was also in town staying with Nana & Papa, so we were able to play with all 5 Watson grandkids over the weekend. Thursday night Aunt Ann came out for a visit & Friday we were able to see Uncle Dan & Aunt Marla Kay & Aunt Brenda & Uncle Pat at a reunion of my Dad's cousins. Saturday we road tripped to a festival at Honey Creek Resort on Lake Rathbun. We really enjoyed checking out the old cars and listening to the live music on a gorgeous day. Sunday Dad & I took the boys to the farm where we visited the miniature ponies & checked out the big farm equipment. One of the ponies had just given birth Saturday night, so we saw a brand new baby, along with a 1 month old, some 4 month olds, and one pony that was 30 years old. My cousin's grandparents, Donald & Helen, have around 35 miniature ponies & Filson really enjoyed getting to see them & getting to hop up on Uncle Pat's big tractors. We spent Monday afternoon at Grandma Beymer's where Filson loved playing & looking at her snow globes. On Wednesday, my college roommate Kelly & her daughter, Harper, came up from Kansas City to spend the day with us. Harper is 10 months old & is such a cutie! Filson enjoyed having her here to play with. We have seen lots of friends & have been enjoying the gorgeous weather at the playground and walking around town.
Here are a few pictures that Grandpa has taken. I'm not able to load my pictures here, so I'll have many more pictures to post when I return. We have a lot more on the schedule for the coming week & are looking forward to seeing more friends & family. We are having a great time, but we sure do miss Dad & wish he could be here to join in on all the fun!!

Sounds like you are having a great time with the boys in Iowa and keeping very busy. And very brave for flying by yourself with two little ones!
It was so great to see you guys! Sounds like you have kept busy. Ian is holding his head up so well!!! John will barely recognize him when you guys get home! And I love the photo of Filson getting his haircut sitting on your dads lap!
Looks wonderful! I bet you love being home. I can't believe that Ian holds his head up so well already. Awesome.
It was great to meet Ian! He a a good baby. Filson sure is growing up! Your pictures are cute of Ian holding his head up!!
Way to Ian!! Such a big boy holding up your head! It is so cool to finally meet you! What a cutie you are! Love the pic of Filson getting his hair cut at Brenda's! So glad you guys are here in IA. Even though I know that John is missing you TONS!
I am so glad you are having such a nice visit with your family! It is so neat that Filson got a hair cut at Brenda's! And I can't believe how much Ian has grown already!
