So much to say

Two weekends ago we got the chance to take a trip to Iowa again with the whole family (minus Beau :( ). This was definitely Alberts heaven and though we don't have pictures of it, I will always remember our first ride on a tractor combine on the first weekend of harvesting season. Mark took Al and me for a ride through the corn fields and detailed all the glory of how this unbelievably HUGE machine works... Awesome.
We also got to experience the Fall Festival and annual pumpkin growing contest- this was serious business.



And this was Hopie's favorite... Car show girl in training


The cousins also did some reading with uncle Jason


And since Beau was unable to join us, we took the kids to the pumpkin patch on Saturday- which is a blast until it's time to go which induces an explosion of resistance!






So strong...








I am now on a two week hiatus between jobs- pure bliss- so we took a 2 day trip to KC to see Allie, Tanner and Dylan. The boys get along so well, though Allie and I decided we need a girls trip to be able to actually have a conversation! (4 kids under 4 is not conducive to such)


Love that belly...


A little fast food treat for the gang... Finally sitting quietly.


And yesterday I painted my entire house!! So happy it only took one day. I'm off to lunch with Abby... Life of luxury!

We so enjoyed having you all up! Trenten is still talking about all the fun he had with his cousins from St. Louis. Hopefully we will get down to see you all soon! Enjoy the time off! Your new job is lucky to have you!
