Halloween 2011

Little late on the blogging....

We enjoyed lots of fun this Halloween. Jackson was a Football Player- a Nebraska Cornhusker! We were able to celebrate with friends a few different times as well as enjoy trick or treating in our neighborhood. Of course we also carved pumpkins.

We had our traditional Halloween gathering at our house with a few friends and then headed over to Night of the Living Farm at Deanna Rose. It is always a good time! Jackson, Logan, Chloe, Dalton and Finley all played together and then headed over to the spooky farm.
Jackson also had a fun Halloween Parade at preschool.

We also enjoyed trips to both my office and Justin's office. Below Jackson is with Brody and Mason!

We also announced our pregnancy this weekend! We are due April 26! Our lives are so full!

Family Visit

Everyone headed to our house to enjoy a weekend of family fun together! We also celebrated Summer's Baby with a shower in her honor. Busy Busy weekend for sure.

Exploring

We love going exploring or hiking at the Overland Park Arboretum. There are miles of paths and a few are "adventurous." We normally bundle up in the morning and spend over an hour searching for animals, checking out nature and of course climbing whatever we can.

So proud at the TOP!

It is a perfect weekend morning activity.

Events in September

We have been busy just enjoying some time as a family. Jackson is so funny with all his expressions... he will us the saying "don't be dramatic" and also ask "so you wan to fight about it?" He has quiet the little attitude personality.

In September we treated Mimi and Poppy to a Royals vs White Sox game. We have had so much fun this year going to baseball games. It is a great perk of my job that we get great tickets for FREE!
We also enjoyed Touch A Truck. This of course is a perfect event for Jackson who can spot a "worker man" truck a mile away. He enjoyed getting into all the different trucks and cars.

Mimi and Papa Freddie

We traveled to Jefferson City this weekend. We rarely head that way so it was a nice treat!
We spent time with Justin's parents. Jackson loves each sets of his grandparents very much. He wanted us to leave him there!! We went on a bike ride across the Missouri River, visited a nature center to go "exploring" and of course spent fun times with Mimi and Papa Freddie. Justin also was able to catch up with some of his good friends, Ashley and Dave.

Just some fun

As you can see... I have not been posting. But better late and all at once then never....
We have been having some fun lately... it is so easy to do with our amazing little guy.

A fun trip to the KC Zoo where we were able to ride the Sky Safari which is basically a ski lift over some animals... it was a fun time.
