Turkey Day

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We have so much to be grateful for in our lives.  Our healthy 3 girls, our awesome families and our wonderful friends!! We've been busy as always, working, baking, attending Lib's basketball games...

I'm done Christmas shopping for the most part, which is a great feeling!  Looking forward to the holiday with my family and excited to see Jov dig into her presents this year.

Miss B is busy sitting up, scooting, and rolling to wherever she needs to go :)  She's FINALLY sleeping through the night!! 7:30 PM to 5:30 AM followed by a bottle and  back to bed and up between 7-8 AM.  I'll take it!! Now if we could only get our 2 1/2 year old to stay in bed at bedtime we'd be set!!

Here are some pictures... Hope you enjoy.  So thankful for all of you in our lives.  Much love!!!

October!

We have had a busy October!

The girls have been busy playing outside and also learning to play inside as Winter is fast approaching.  I ran my 4th Half Marathon in Des Moines on Oct. 16 and LOVED it!! Libby's volleyball is over and is starting basketball.  And Steve has been  battling walking pnemonia, as he waited wayyyyy to long to go to the Dr. ;)

This past weekend Sarah, Nick and Griffin came and stayed.  We had fun! Sarah took our family pics and I took their's.  Griffin didn't enjoy it too much, so I didn't get a ton of good shots.  But she got a TON of AWESOME shots of us!  We took the kids to the pumpkin patch today and had a blast!

THANK YOU Grandma Shirley for the awesome blanket!!  Jovie loves it and sleeps with it every night!

Enjoy the pictures following!

Family Pictures

We had the most beautiful weather for family pictures this weekend.  My friend Sarah came to town from Indiana and did the most wonderful job!! I love them all!!

Quick Post plus LOTS of Pictures: Fall is in the air

We are coming into fall, which is Great weather and FOOTBALL season!  We have been overly busy at our house.  I'm making cupakes as a side business, and have been much busier than anticipated!  I'm also training for the DM half marathon in October.  Libby is in Volleyball.  Steve has been working nights.  Jovie is 2 (which says enough).  Bria still doesn't sleep through the night and is growing like a weed!!

Steve and I have had the luxury of going to TWO Iowa games this year and we are thrilled!

Bria was baptized on Sept. 11 and it was the PERFECT day!

The girls are adjusting well to the new daycare and we love Linda. 

Steve and I had a date night with Miss Jovie and took her to Lion King 3D, her first movie experience.  That was what it was.  An experience.

We are just living the everyday life, enjoying our family of 5 (4 girls in that family of 5) :) Here are a ton of pics.  Hope you enjoy!!
