This past weekend we took Bryce on his first overnight trip to see the Schusters. What was supposed to be a 4 hour trip to Iowa Friday night ended up being more like 5 hours. We ran into snow about Macon and the roads started to get bad around Kirksville. Both Debbie and I had checked weather.com and they were saying the accumulation would only be 1-2 inches of snow. They ended up getting close to 4 or 5 inches of snow. We had one encounter with slick roads and were sent to a ditch, but everyone was fine and we made it out no problems. Once we got to Debbie and Chris' house we had a very enjoyable time!
Since Saturday was Valentine's Day, we took our gifts with us to exchange. Dale got me a pretty ring with Bryce's birthstone. Bryce and I got Dale a coffee mug with Bryce's picture on it filled with Heath bars...his favorite! Bryce got a homemade blanket from mom (which he got a week ahead of time because it was too cute not to use!) and Dad got him a puppy dog. Here are some pictures of Bryce on Valentine's Day.
He was too tired to smile...note the paci and tired eyes!
The blanket that I made, well tied together!
Just hanging out at Aunt Debbies on Valentines Day. 
Dale and Chris stayed at home with the Boys while Debbie and I went shopping. I think they had fun. We found these cute Baby's 1st Valentine's Shirts that we dressed Caden and Bryce in. Here's just a few of the pictures we took.
Bryce's hair looks a little frazzled! Caden's just relaxing.
More Pictures?
Later that evening we all made dinner together. Dale grilled steaks, I made twice backed potatoes and Debbie made a salad. It was the best Valentine's dinner yet. Cole and I attempted to make cupcakes for desset. We got them made but not iced or decorated....the day got away from us and it was Cole's bedtime before dessert was served!
Can you tell which cupcakes Cole made?
After dinner Saturday night, Bryce and I crashed early...we were both super tired. Dale and Chris decided to relax in the hot tub...I think I heard someone say that Chris' hair iced up on him!! They said when they got out they had to walk fast because their feet were freezing to the deck. Those boys sure are crazy!Sunday before we left Debbie, Cole, Dale, Bryce and I went to lunch. At the end of our meal the waitress asked if we could just leave Bryce for her tip..before anyone could say anything else Cole answered..."yeap". We asked if he would give up Caden that quick and he didn't think so! I guess brotherly love is stronger than cousin love!
We left Iowa in enough time to make it to Grandma Wassmann's house to celebrate her birthday. Then we went home to unpack and it didn't take long for this to happen.....
Thanks Debbie, Chris, Cole and Caden.....we had a great time and can't wait to see you again!
