Rolls, Jelly, Cake, Inflatables, Family and Memories...Oh my!!!

I'm not even forsure where to start with describing our Thanksgiving vacation...actually our last full week. It started out by celebrating Austyn's 6th birthday, then moving on to Thanksgiving with our family from Kansas. It has become a tradition on this side of the family to start a roll fight after (most of the time it starts after we are done eating...except this year) dinner but this year I decided to shake things up a bit...I brought squeeze jelly and the women of the family put on a surprise attack on the men. It was SO much fun and something I will personally never forget. Just check out the pictures. It says it all...well pretty much. What it doesn't do is make you feel the extreme stickiness we all had afterwards. Later in the week we celebrated Austyn's birthday at Pump It Up. We had a wonderful time there and I think I will be recovering from trying to tackle of the inflatables as an adult for quite some time. God is so good to us. We are so blessed and this last week was a wonderful reminder on just how blessed we really are.

Twice as sweet...

Austyn and her buddy Richie at Chuck E. Cheese

Who can make the silliest face???

This year Austyn found someone who celebrates a birthday the same day as she does. And it just so happens to be a very dear friend of ours. So, before we headed to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate, we stopped by and celebrated with Ms. Beth. We tried to convince Ms. Beth to go to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate her birthday with Austyn but she wanted to go to a fancy steak house. Now, who would do that over good ol' chuckie??? I guess I must be honest here, I would have done the same thing. But being able to stop by her house before hand and hang for a while, made her birthday twice as sweet.

Happy Birthday, Austyn!!!

Today we are celebrating Austyn's 6th birthday. Crazy to me..but it's real. I got to go up to school with her this morning for their Thanksgiving feast which was a lot of fun. What a way to celebrate at school on your birthday. We are going to Chuck E Cheese tonight to celebrate her day with just us family so I'm sure I'll be putting up more pictures later. Austyn is growing up so fast and we are so blessed by her daily. She is such a wonderful young lady. We are so proud of you, Austyn.

Best family weekend adventures

This weekend we traveled to the Best Family's home to visit Tripp's grandpa from Kansas. As you can tell from the pictures we did all kinds of things while we were out there. We played in their dried out pond, rode the 4 wheeler, played in hay bails, swung on the tire swing, played soccer and football and ate lots of great food. We are so glad it worked out for us to be out there spending that time with all of them.

Halloween Night time

We had a great time last night for Halloween. We hosted our Lifecare group here at the house with pizza, soda and lots of candy and then headed out together for some Trick or Treating. We only walked our neighborhood because it's so big and busy that there was no need to go any further. We are so lucky to have such an awesome Lifecare group. It was so much fun!!!
