Makenna's 4 Year Pictures

Thankful Turkeys

To continue our tradition of encouraging the kiddos to be thankful for all the wonderful gifts God has given them we made Thankful Turkeys. This was Colin's first year to make a turkey because last year he was a bit too young. I personally think that it is a good way for the kiddos to daily remember that they have plenty to be thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving

Megan's Baby Shower

This past Saturday I got the privilege to host one of my best friend Megan's baby shower. I am soooooo excited to meet Baby Fred and give him tons of cuddles.


Here are the pictures from the shower.

 The Decorations

The Food

Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of the Mommy-to-be so you will have to check out Meg's blog later this week to see any baby bump pics.

The Kiddos

Iowa State Volleyball

A few weeks ago Megan and I took Makenna and Colin to an Iowa State volleyball game. They had a blast. I treated them to a clone cone....which was a big hit. They were a little bummed though that they didn't get a chance to say "Hi" to Cy.

Colin also decided to impress us and those around us with his dance moves.
