Imaginations!

Well since its way to cold for us to go outside most nights, we have to come up with some sort of entertainment. The kids sure have come up with some great ideas ALL by themselves!


Not sure if Nolan learned this at Grandmas house b/c my brother and I use to to the same thing!


Marlee thought it was pretty funny too!

Oh lets just hope this doesn't lead to any ER trips!

Well we would love it if Nolan decides to go to the University of Iowa someday, I guess we never thought it might be on a band scholarship!

Oh he just loves his "drums". So glad they have such great imaginations!

Halloween Party

Last weekend we went to a super fun Halloween party. The kids just loved it. We colored Witches, decorated cookies and cupcakes and painted pumpkins.

Marlee playing on all the pumpkins


Trying to get 14 kids to all look at the camera at the same time....

NOT possible! :)

Pumpkin Patch Time

Today we ventured to Vala's Pumpkin Patch. I haven't been to Vala's since I was in high school, boy has it changed. It is for sure one of the biggest and best Pumpkin Patches around. I think today we only saw maybe half of it and we were there for 3 plus hours!

Definetly the boys favorite part of the day, the train ride!


It will be neat to go each year and see how they've grown.



I am very thankful for my dear friend Sarah. She always knows the hot spots and I can count on her to show us the way. Plus our kids always have a great time together!

Look who found the perfect pumpkin.

Marlee at her best. She couldn't settle for just one, so little miss got two!

What a beautiful fall day. (Wishing my backyard looked that good!)

Perfect pumpkin!

Nolan and Cooper. We didn't have any takers!

Oh if only I have a video of me and my friend trying to peddle these little buggys around a windy course. But hey the kids loved it!

What a good time we had. We may have to back again this year :)
