Baby Olson: Fall 2011

So I have been a little lax in our blogging this summer and fall! Here is a recap of what Ian has been up to since mid July...

In late July, Riley and Hailey gave Ian a "cars" themed couch that he instantly loved! He not only likes to sit and read on the couch, but he likes everyone to sit on his couch! He also went through a phase of refusing to wear pants.

Charlie was a fan of the couch as well.

Ian also discovered a fun new game with Bumpa. Bumpa got a good leg workout that day!

The last weekend in July, we traveled to Davenport so Momma could run the BIX 7 Race. We stayed with Ben and Deb's family and it was so much fun! The race was a great experience and hopefully we can go back next year with Ben and Deb!

There were around 30,000 people running the race, so we don't have a good photo of Momma, so here is a photo of the bagpiper that was located near where Ian and Kurt were cheering...

Since we were so close, we went to the American Pickers shop! They were closed, but we still got a few photos. We didn't see Mike or Frank, but it was still fun to see.

In August, Ian went to the Allamakee County fair and loved the animals. I think we have a future 4-Her!

In September, Ian was a busy boy. First we celebrated with Wade, Erika, Miles and Mia at their wedding.

Here Ian is saying "CHEESE!" for the camera at Wade & Erika's wedding dinner (Momma isn't mad, just caught off guard!)

Here is Ian and Miles before the ceremony...

During the outdoor ceremony...

and the next night at the reception...

And then Ian danced the night away at the reception. He loved it! Here he's learning some new steps from Riley.

Also in September, we had Papa's 60th Birthday party! Here is Ian having pre-party fun with Papa and Avery...

Papa brought all of his tractors to the fairgrounds for everyone to ride! Here is photo of Scott and Avery... It was a great party and celebration!

And in October we went to the Pumpkin Patch! We spent time in the corn box (instead of a sand box!)

Playing on the slides...

Making ghost faces...

On hay rides...

and then we spent the most time watching and feeding the goats. They had this amazing set up for these goats. They even had platforms that the goats would walk across. All three of us were amazed!
