Iowa Trip

We went to Iowa last weekend, to surprise my grandma. It was a blast! We drove to KC and stayed the night with some of Paul's friends. We got into Mason early afternoon on Saturday. We went to dinner and were standing y the register at the buffet entrance when Gma walked in. She looked at Cameron first, did a double, triple take, then looked at Paul and said "Well, hi" then she looked at me and said "Well hi!!!" It was hilarious, and she was definitely surprised. She looked so happy having all 4 of her great grandkids there with her.

I got some pics from the trip:

My handsome little devil :)

Cameron was boxing everyone in sight, with the help of Great Uncle Tony. :)

Me, my boys, my cousin Casey and her boys with Grandma Schu :) Looks like Blair is fond of his Cousin Caden :)

The big boys got to hang out together with my Aunt Sandy while we went down the street to the bar. They took a bath, and we had an awesome time! :)

Tuckered out after a long day of driving, playing and family time. That's the first time they ever met! I think they liked each other. :)

No news

Things are pretty quiet on the home front. We've been pretty busy getting ready for our trip to Iowa next weekend. We are going up to surprise my grandma. We are driving to KC on Friday night, stopping by my uncle's house and then getting up early Saturday and going on up to northern Iowa. We are all going to meet at a restaurant and my aunt is going to get my grandma and bring her in. We'll have a lot of fun. She's never met Cameron, and most of my family up there have never met Caden. The last time we went up there, I was pregnant with Caden and we still had no idea about his heart. The only people that have met Caden are those that came up to the hospital to visit us while we were there.

We are staying with my cousin. She has two boys, I think the oldest is about 4 and the youngest is a couple weeks older than Caden. Her oldest was born about 3 months premature, and he was in the NICU for a very long time. I feel that we at least have a little understanding of what it's like to be stuck in he hospital for a long time.

I'll be sure to take lots of pictures! :)
