Fun times over Thanksgiving

We had a great week while Grammy and Pa Pa were in town. We also had a lot of fun spending time with Bruce and Judy. Alex really misses all of you. We were sad to see Grammy and Pa Pa leave today but we are looking forward to their next visit in 3 weeks. After they left Alex went into their room to look for them. He even looked in the closet to see if they were there. It was really cute! We can't wait to see you again. Thanks for an amazing week. We miss you already!!! Hugging Aunt Abby
even Autzen needed a little attention

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful thanksgiving this year. My parents along with Bruce and Judy came in town for the holiday. Katie joined us for dinner. Our friends Carly, Ben and Luke came over too. Everything was great. Grammy made an amazing dinner. We are so thankful to have spent the holiday with great family and friends.

Happy Birthday Abby and Anessa

A few weeks ago we went to a birthday party for Ken and Michelle's daughter, Anessa. She turned 1. Abby's birthday was the same day. We celebrated them both. We had so much fun at the party. Happy Birthday Abby and Anessa!!! walking around in the grass

Give Me A Treat

Autzen and Alex are slowly becoming friends. Autzen has always been jealous of Alex because he gets most of the attention. But recently Alex learned how to get on Autzen's good side....treats!!! Alex goes into the kitchen closet and gives Moosie treats. Autzen loves it!!!

happy halloween

We were invited to go to Ben and Carly's house for Halloween. We had a great time!!! We went to a block party in their neighborhood and then went back to their house to hand out candy. I think the kids had a good time too. Next year we will have to take them trick or treating.

Hiking with Daddy

Last night we took Alex and Moose up to the mountain for a hike. I am not much of a hiker but it is a pretty view when you get up to the top. Alex loves his new backpack that Daddy bought him and Moose can't wait to go hiking too.
