Funny Photos

I can't believe how tall my little ones are getting so I let them take pictures tonight. I like to see their view of the world from the camera and document how close they are getting to being taller than me. Tonight, Saylor was vacuuming the basement when I heard a loud crunching sound. Tagg shouts "Keep going, that's a good sign. You hit the treasure of dirt."

First Swim Meet of the Season

The kids had their first swim meet of the season and they both did great. I wanted to share a few pictures.

Trick or Treat

Who ever thought having Halloween on Saturday was really brilliant! The entire day was equal to Christmas Eve with anticipation and excitement for the upcoming night. Our good friends had recently moved out in the country and hence started the idea for a Halloween gathering. What was really fun was a few of the teenagers wanted to join us and asked if they could bring friends over too. After the Dad's returned with the kids from trick or treating we got out the Beatle's rock band. All in all it was a fun evening for everyone.

I love this time of year

Like every other family I know, we have been very busy and I was starting to wonder if I would get my Fall pictures taken this year. The kids are both on the swim team and Tagg has also played soccer, if you throw in the music lessons, student council, critical thining club, well, you get the idea. We took time yesterday to go outside and play, and it felt great. I took my Fall pictures and enjoyed an afternoon of being a family doing nothing in particular.

Lucy turns 3!

Our little niece had her third birthday this weekend. Saylor, Tagg and I were able to go to Iowa for the big weekend. We had such a good time hanging with the kids and seeing them "live".

Fun in October

We went to the pumpkin patch today with Mimi and Papa. the weather was perfect and we ALL had fun doing the different activites and eating lots of junk food.

Nonnie in Omaha

What a weekend!Matt's Grandma was able to come to Nebraska so 25 member of the family members met her. Unfortunately I had an eye incident on Friday, so I was a bit out of sorts during the time together. It almost looks like we were wearing uniforms but it was a home football weekend so we all coordinated.



Nonnie flew in for a few days from Arizona and we met at an Embassy Suites in La Vista. Our rooms were over-sized and the pool was great for the large group of kids.


We had a wonderful cocktail hour and breakfast spent all talking and catching up, as if we all don't live near each other.Another version of a staycation, only a family reunion with family that should see more often.
