Friends, Family, and the Iowa State Fair!

We have been busy since we got back from vacation, Dan and Kypton and catching up on Z's at the moment so I thought I would get a quick blog update in.

The day after we got back Kypton's friend had his 1st birthday so we went to help celebrate.  Then that week we caught up on some sleep and got him back on a regular schedule.  We also had to retrain sleeping in him own bed.  He hated his pack and play on vacation so he slept with up all week so when we got home Dan and I were ready to sleep in our own bed without random kicks to the ribs and slaps to the face in the middle of the night so into his crib he went.  The fist few nights were rough as you can imagine but by Friday he had it down!

Come Friday we were having some friends over for a thank you dinner as they watched our dogs for a few days (last minute) while we were gone.  As I was getting ready to order the pizza online my computer said it had some new updates, do the update go to restart, hard drive crashes!!! I was so mad, the only saving grace was that everything was saved on my iPhone.  We spent all day last Saturday at the Apple store (it was bonkers in there!!)  Then as we were on our way home from the Apple store I was like I should get my ring cleaned today, look down and notice one of the stones is missing.  Not one of the three biggest but one of the small ones on the band.  Needless to say it was a long, emotional weekend for me, lol!

Sunday we just hung around I tried to get some of my photos back on to my new hard drive.  We went and had ice cream in the after noon then headed to my parents for some pizza and to hang out.

This past week we had a lot of visitors!! :) Let's see, Monday Great Grandma D came to visit as she wanted to do his hand and foot print for a 1st birthday gift.  Tuesday a friend came to visit and told us that she is expecting.  We are so excited for her.  We started hugging and cheering and well Kypton got a little frightened so he started to cry.  We couldn't be happier for them though!!  Wednesday, Miss Colleen came to visit we haven't seen her since May so it was great to catch up with her.  We are going to try and visit her this week to see her classroom in Newton before school starts back up!  Then we went to visit Grandma at work for a bit before heading home for a nap.  Thursday and Friday we just hung around the house, Dan didn't get home until about 7 or so on Friday, and Grandpa and Grandma stopped by after they went to dinner, so it was a night at home of relaxing.

Yesterday, we decided to go to the fair.  We were going to wait until next weekend but the weather was so nice I didn't want to chance it getting so hot again next weekend and then not go.  My parents rode with us and then my sister and Bill met up with us.  They had extra tickets we are so thankful for them sharing with us.  We hung out with them and ate some delicious food of course.  Dan had a pork chop sandwich and a couple beers.  I had a pickle with cream cheese wrapped in pastrami and deep fried (TO DIE FOR!) and then I had a 1/2lb tenderloin. Kypton had some fried bread before passing out for most of the day.  All that fresh air made him sleepy.  He was so good though!  After the fair Kypton spent the night with Grandpa and Grandma and we went over to Dan's brothers for a cookout and fire pit.  Although, I wasn't hungry Dan did eat, and we just relaxed and chatted.  All in all a busy but fun last two weeks!
