Cleaning Out The Cobwebs!

Finally updating the old bloggy-blog so bare with me!! I'm putting the last few weeks on here together, we've had a great September. Just in the last few years have I realized that autumn is my favorite time of year. I LOOOOOVE fall weather! We've been enjoying our time outside and Stella can not wait to jump in the leaves, luckily for her we will have TONS and TONS and TONS of leaves! :)
A few weeks ago we went to Okoboji for our last hoorah for the season. We have had so much fun there this season. The kids have come to LOVE going to Okoboji to Grandma and Grandpa's house. They love the lake, the jeep, the golf cart, the parks, the toys, the unlimited attention from Grandma and Grandpa!
Here they are getting ready to go fishing with daddy and Grandpa.

A couple of weeks ago some of my family from Arizona traveled to Iowa for the University of Arizona vs. University of Iowa football game. The Hawks came out the winners of the game, but everyone still have a fantastic time being together! :)

Sara and Wes, aren't they cute! Not sure what is going on here, but everyones expressions are super funny!
Stella with our fabulous neighbors Cheryl and Keith! And yes, Stella is holding an ISU Bud Light and yes, Keith has a cookie stuffed in his mouth....that's the way we roll!

Jennifer getting ready to blow out her birthday candles!

Sara, Stephanie, Jenn, Me with Uncle Mark!!!!!! I think his face says it all! :)Uncle Mark seems to be somewhat calmer with the second generation.....not sure why as I'm sure they will turn his hair more gray than we did!

Mom checking out Stephanie's scar wounds from being thrown off of Nelson's horse!

Great photo of Brad with his dad, Nelson.

We can't get any more "city" than this. Keith and Cheryl were draining their inground pool, getting ready for winter. So the street had a lot of water in it. The kids go put on their swimsuits and grab their fishing poles to "FISH" in the water! So funny that they were fishing on the street, but they had fun. :)

Porter has been enjoying Stella being in preschool! He has been playing with his "boy" toys a lot lately now that Stella hasn't been around to boss him! :) Here are a couple of photos of him playing with his choo-choo's the other day.
