Last weekend we made a trip to the farm. It was the furthest I have attempted to take Gabe alone, and I say we passed with flying colors! Well, he did. I forgot half of the stuff I brought, but luckily we are headed back that direction for Thanksgiving.

Nana and Papa's was a busy place. Molly and the girls stayed for the weekend, and Scott, Tina and Baby McKenna came to visit on Saturday. Grandpa Mohr also came for lunch! We had a fun day!

Oh BABY!!

Baby Boom 2012 is complete! Wednesday evening Scott and Tina welcomed Baby McKenna Rae into the world!! She was 8 lbs. 14 ounces,  21 inches long and beautiful! Everyone is doing great!

I'm not really joking when I say there has been a baby boom this year. In the last 4 months, there have been 5 additions to our family! We have been truly blessed with healthy pregnancies and babies. I thought we would go back through the line-up starting with the newest bundle of joy..

God is Good :) 

Littlest Cyclone!

On Saturday, Gabe went to his first Cyclone Football Game! Start 'em Early, Raise 'em Right :)

We have went to Ames to tailgate a few times this season, but never attempted to go to the game before. It was a lot of fun and he was a great fan...well he was great for Mama. He slept through the whole game, so I'm not sure how good of a "fan" that makes him. Although our Cyclones didn't get the win, we were blessed with AmAZiNg weather for the game and a great day for Gabe!

Like I said earlier, we had tailgated for a few games earlier in the season. Here are some leftover pictures from some of those earlier days. We love our Cyclones!

Happy Halloween!

We had a great 1st Halloween! Tuesday night was Trick or Treating night in Ankeny, and although we didn't go out, we had fun handing out candy. I had a very helpful skeleton wishing all the kids a spooktacular Halloween! 

We had some very cute Witches come and visit! It was fun to see them in costume and steal some of their candy :)

Visitors :)

This weekend we had some visitors stop by and meet Mr. Gabe. Erin (Tyler's GF) snapped a few pictures that I wanted to make sure I shared with all of you. They are great!

We have been pretty busy this week. We made a trip to Des Moines and had lunch with Noah on Tuesday, and yesterday we went over to my school to get some grades ready for conferences, and to introduce Gabe to some of the teachers.

Today we are staying home. It is cold and rainy and seems like the perfect cuddle (and nap) type of day :)
