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 :) 

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 :)

Summer Fun

Back to school is right around the corner...Monday to be exact. I spent last week getting my room ready and preparing for the coming year. It has been a little stressful, considering Lil' Man could make his appearance fairly soon and I'm not quite ready for my sub, but everything will come together I am sure :) HA! Let's hope God doesn't need a laugh anytime soon...

In the meantime, we have finished the summer with some excitement. First of all, we spent a little time at the Iowa State Fair. Scott and Tina have a stellar camping spot and has become a tradition to spend a night or two at the fair. This year Mom, Ellie, Cece and I all stayed the night and went to the fair on opening day! After a summer of heat, we couldn't have had better weather for our day. 

The girls loved finding all the ice cream cones scattered around the fair.  

Who gave this girl coffee?!?

Cece and Uncle Scottie

We were able to catch a Tiger show in the morning. 

Cece was suppose to split the corn dog with me...

While at the fair we got some very exciting news! The girls were big sisters! Molly had her baby girl, Maggie Vera that afternoon (August 9 at 3:13) We were able to make a visit that night!
