Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! While many of you were sledding in the snow we enjoyed spending some time at the beach before the turkey went in the oven. We had a great time with the family and of course had some delicious food which made for a great Thanksgiving Day! We hope you had a wonderful holiday too!

18 Months!

Natalie is officially 18 months. We can't believe it! She is such a joy. We are lucky to have her in our family! We sure do love our Natalie!

Soccer Season - Over!

Saturday Megan had her last soccer game of the fall season. We had a good time this season and of course Megan loved having Steen and Tanner be her coaches. She also enjoyed making new friends and becoming a better soccer player this season. Megan has a lot of skills that she still needs to learn and become better at, but regardless she had a great time! In a few weeks we will have our end of the year party and awards. Megan is looking forward to getting another trophy!

Baseball Season - Over!

Last week the kids had there last baseball practice and small game. They have learned a lot over the last 6 weeks and have had a lot of fun being on the same team. We may have some future little baseball players on our hands. After the game the kids received balls, bats, gloves, and medals. They thought it was pretty awesome.

Thanksgiving School Play

Last week Megan had her Kindergarten class play. She was the cutest turkey that we've ever seen. We were able to see her class play, sing songs, and then have a turkey lunch with her in the cafeteria. We all had a wonderful time!

Happy Birthday Steen!

Yesterday (11/11) was Steen's 32nd birthday! He kept the 32 year streak alive by not having to work or go to school on his birthday! We had a wonderful day filled with lots of family time, good food, and birthday fun. And thanks to Tanner, Steen and I even got to sneak out on a date after we put the kids to bed.

A little wrestling after dinner is a birthday must!
Per Steen's request I made him homemade pineapple carrot cake and vanilla ice cream! Yummy!

WE LOVE YOU DADDY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

We love the Fall!

Last Saturday while Steen was busy manning the "lost and found" booth at the Iron Man the kids and I decided to go to a local fall festival with some friends. We had so much fun!! It was a little chilly, but it made it feel like the fall weather that I miss at home. We went on a train ride, had a yummy bbq lunch & other yummy treats, and played lots of carnival games. The kids came home with lots of prizes, balloons, and even got there faces painted. We are definitely planning on going next year cause we had a blast!
