Pumpkin 2011

Poor Grace is too sick to go to the pumpkin patch this year. This is a major disappointment since we've been looking forward to it and talking about it for a month now. :(

So, to try to make up for it a little, we got a pumpkin yesterday and carved it. That cheered her spirits a bit.

Grace and Kyler checking things out. Poor Kyler just had to observe this year. Next year buddy!

Kids by the finished product!

All lit up!

Leah's 1!!!!!

Happy Birthday Miss Leah!!!!

She turned one on October 25! Kyler and I could not attend her birthday party as he was recovering from croup, so we sent Dustin and Grace to party for us!

Grace with her new cousin, Lane

I heard Miss Leah was dainty with her cake. Don't blame her--cute cake!



Happy, Happy, Happy 1st birthday Leah! I am so sad I could not be there!

Two Teeth!

Kyler is growing up so fast! He's got two teeth!!!!

I had to get a picture while he was crying because he's got his thumb in his mouth otherwise. :)

Lane!

So I'm way behind here, but my second nephew, Lane, was born on October 3rd, 2011!!!!

Welcome to the world you sweet little guy!

Grace and Kyler with their new little cousin in the hospital

We got to visit the new familiy on my birthday to see him when he was five days old!

Grace loves him and loves holding him!

So now I'm missing him. We've been sick for almost two weeks now so we cannot be around them. Looking forward to our house being healthy so we can see how much he's grown and changed!

Ed's wedding

On October 9 we traveled to Panora, IA to attend my uncle, Ed, get married! Here are some pics from the reception.

Our little family

Two tough guys :)

And some dancing fools!!!

They both had some pretty serious dance moves!

Conning the suckers into dancing with them

And Grace's favorite dance partner of the night. She was so happy when Uncle Adam danced with her!

All five cousins together! First picture of them!
