Last Friday Grandma and Grandpa Kliegl came over to play with Austin and Colton for the day. Grandpa was on his way to the Iowa/UNI game in Iowa City. They had a fun day playing outside. Austin loves to hit baseballs and apparently he had a lot of home runs Friday afternoon. Grandma stayed with us for a couple nights and we had a great time. Saturday we went to Baby Keller's FIRST birthday party. It is hard to believe he is already one!! Keller is walking all over the place and him and Colton are a great little pair!! Saturday after Colton's nap we went to Waverly to see Brian at work. The boys were excited to get there and see him, although Colton wasn't too sure about having to leave 'DADA' there so we could get our groceries! Sunday we went to the park and had donuts before Grandma and Grandpa had to take off to get back to Emmetsburg.
Austin has been asking every day, "Can we go to the track where you and daddy run?" I keep telling him we will some day and yesterday afternoon ended up being that some day. We got to the track and Austin wanted to sit in the bleachers with Colton. Then he said, "Mommy and Daddy, go race and I will cheer for you!" Austin said, "On your marks, set, go!" And Mommy and Daddy raced. Of course my little legs were working harder than Brians and Brian let me be in the lead for a while . . . Austin was in the background yelling, "Go Mommy Go, you are winning Mommy!!!" Then Brian passed me up right at the finish line so Daddy won and Austin talked to me about using my power booster at the end! He is hilarious.
Then Austin wanted to race Colton. Austin ran half way around the track and Colton ran about 50 meters. They were both running as fast as they could so we were pretty impressed with how far they made it. Then we took a break from running and we played on the high jump mat and the pole vault mats. Austin and Brian picked up all the tractor tires and found a huge spider! We ran up the hill and rolled down. We played under the bleachers. Then we headed home. It was a great afternoon and the boys were exhausted by the time we got ready for bed. The weather was perfect and it was so nice to spend so much time outside!!
