Thanksgiving Weekend

We saw a lot of family that we have not seen for awhile. Aunt Jane and Nancy both flew into Kansas City for the weekend. We enjoyed Thanksgiving with them. We also enjoyed going out to dinner with the Bloch side of the family for mexican! Thanks for a great time!

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year was just as busy as the others. We tried to spend time with all of our family and friends. It has been awhile since we have been to Kansas City. We enjoyed seeing everyone. For Thanksgiving, we spent the morning and afternoon with Sarah's side of the family, then we spent the late afternoon/evening with Jeff's side of the family. During both adventures, there was plenty of food for us to enjoy. Kayla liked playing with Christy and Hunter. She is such a ham; she poses for every picture! We also enjoyed the company of our friends, Lindsey and Brad. On Saturday night we found out Jeff's sister recently became engaged to Rusty! We sure crammed in a lot of fun into one weekend!

Our New Home!

Here are the pictures of our new house! Enjoy.

Light the Night

Shawna and I joined Nicole for a walk to honor people with Leukemia. We went to West Glen and walk around the strip mall. Everyone in the walk recieved a red baloon with a light in it. We also walked by hot air baloons that lit up the night!
Here are a few pictures.

Here we begin our walk.


We pause from our walk to take a quick picture.


The baloons are let go into the air...and we are suprised by the view of fireworks.

Pumpkin Patch

It is that time of year again. Hayrides, pumpkins, slides, corn, and homemade pie!
Mimi came to visit us and we went to the pumpkin patch together. We enjoyed a long hayride and playing outdoors. Kayla liked playing in the kernels of corn.

Our New House!

This is our new house! We will move into the home in October. This is a new construction home, we are so excited to be the first owners! We are having having the builders extend the deck and finish the basement!

Fun with Bubbles

Kayla was suprised with a bubble gun! She loves it. She pointed to her new toy and said "bubbles...pease!" That "pease" should be please, but that is how she says it.
We went outside and played with the bubble gun. It produces 100 bubbles all at one time. I know what I should have Kayla play with to make her happy!

Cheesy Smile!

Kayla is such a ham! She loves to pose in front of the camera!

Fun at the State Fair!

The Iowa State Fair was in a book called "1000 things to do before you die". Well, Becca and Erica read that and decided they just have to come visit. So, they drive five hours to Iowa to visit our one and only state fair! We saw horses, pigs, cows, bulls, and so much more. You can by any type of food on a stick. We even saw a cow made out of butter! What could be better? Here are a couple pictures of us at the fair! Erica and Becca enjoyed hanging out with Kayla! She was the life of the party. She loved all of the animals, especially the baby animals. Later, we met up with Jordan and Tiffany to enjoy the fair!



On Sunday evening, Nicole, Shawna, Phylis and I enjoyed the Sheryl Crow concert. Of course, we had to wear our cowgirl boats! The concert was amazing. I really enjoyed the opening act with Colbie Caillat!

Farmer's Market!

Here are the pictures of the Farmer's Market! We enjoyed the samples of food and enjoying our friends. Kayla also enjoyed a train ride. She did not want to ride the train by herself, so mommy enjoyed the train ride too!
