Grandma Spihlmann comes to visit

Over the Labor day weekend, Grandma Spihlmann came to visit. We went to the park, went to dinner, and enjoyed our time together. When we went to the park we had a little Ryker 10 month photo shoot. Here are some of the pics.

Ryker LOVES to swing!
Our most recent family picture.
We had a great time with Grandma Spihlmann.

As a joke the other day we put Ryker and Gabby in Iowa state gear(we are not Iowa State fans) My mom bought them little outfits because my parents, are fans. I promised I would put them in the outfits once, for pictures, and they could not leave the house. Here are some pictures of that photo shoot. It was pretty funny. Gabby was VERY cute in her outfit(even though daddy really really hates Iowa State) It was all in good fun. Plus made Grandma and Grandpa Williams happy.

On September 12th the big annual Iowa vs. Iowa State game.

Here we are in our Iowa gear

Iowa State Fair and then some...

Everyone who's anyone knows the Iowa State Fair is in August every year here in Iowa. Ryker of course went last year in a cozy spot in moms belly. This year however, he had a better view.
We spent about 10 hours total that day cruising the fair. We had a wonderful time, Ryker did amazing as well. I had been back to walking for a couple weeks so this was a big test for my leg. I did pretty well, very sore after and swollen...but overall..made it. My mom was in town for a few weeks during this time. She joined us that afternoon also.
Ryker turned 10 months old on Aug 13th. I cannot believe how close he is to the big 1! He is really growing too fast. He is walking around everything and starting to stand all on his own, He LOVES to climb the stairs.
He also now has 4 teeth. Such a BIG boy!
As you know I started watching Gabby a few weeks ago. I am so lucky to be able to see Ryker and Gabby grow up together. Its wonderful . Today she was playing with uncle Brian and laughing up a storm. Too cute!
