Lake Darling camping trip!

This weekend we enjoyed camping at Lake Darling with our friends. The kids had so much fun playing together. We enjoyed so many activities: played at the park, fishing, hiked trails, looking for frogs and nuts, roller blading, football, baseball, playing in the sand and listening to the Iowa Game. My phone was not working well at all. Thank you to Kerry for taking all these great pictures of the kids. I really appreciate it. 

We had a fun weekend with great friends.

Thank you so much for having us over Wednesday afternoon. The kids had so much fun! Thank you for making dinner for TJ and Hannah.  I really appreciate it! 

Homecoming week!

The last day of Homecoming week was Spirit Day on Friday. So I made all the kids T-shirts to wear to school. TJ picked out a green shirt. 

TJ loves the turtles now!

This week TJ picked out his Halloween  costume. It looks so cute on him. I can't wait to take him to all of the Halloween events. 

TJ and I baked lots of goodies for camping!

Fun Times in St. Louis

Saturday afternoon we hang out at my parents house. The kids loved playing and walking the dogs. It was really cute. Hannah even walked the cat. Lol

That evening we all went to the St. Peter's Celebration and listened to live music and watched a fire work show. We all had so much fun together! 

Sunday we had a family BBQ at my parents, it was so good to see everyone. Thank you Mom for all your hard work! The food was yummy and we all had a great time!

What a wonderful weekend with family!

We had so much fun in St. Louis this past weekend. I really enjoyed spending time with my parents, it was so good to see them. My mom looks so good and is getting around really well. I am so proud of her.
