Playing at the Park in October?!

Who would've guessed that we would be playing outside at the park, talking walks, enjoying fall without coats, hats, mittens on?  We are LOVING this weather and the kids are so happy being outside all day long.

Our 6th Anniversary!

We celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary.  Wow, where has the time gone.  It was a beautiful day just like it was in 2005 at my hometown church where we got married.  Matt's parents watched the kids so we could MAKE a meal without kids screaming at us so that was a nice gift!!

Random Photos

Here are some photos from a recent photo shoot with Nora and Jackson. 

Daddy's B-day

Sorry no pictures, but we celebrated Matt's 29th birthday today.  We got Applebees Carside to go since the kids were CRAZY today.  Poor Matt didn't have the best of birthdays but there is always next year and who doesn't like wings from Applebees!!!!

Turning the BIG 3-0

I am having an issue admitting it, but I turned the big 3-0 this year.  I did watch Rachael Ray where Jessica Simpson said "being a young 30 year old is better than being an old 20 year old" hm...I am still waiting this theory out.  Matt was sweet and bought me roses and Bruegers bagels and then also had a few friends over and ate Dairy Queen ice cream cake (which I also had on my 20th birthday thanks to my sister)  I am sure being 30 will be great...it just is taking a bit to get used to!

Me and my cousin Kelly...look at her cute baby bump!

Roses and Bruegers on the day before my birthday-Thanks hubby!

Mommy's First (&possibly last!) 5K

I ran a 5k today.  Could possibly be my last one.  It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't the most fun I have had either.  My family, well my sister and her husband and his family ran the 5k.  It was part of Nickle Dickle Days.  What an awesome name huh?  We got sweet shirts that say Nickle Dickle Days as well!

After running we rented a campsite and hung out all day, even though it was chilly outside!  We brought Jackson with us and paid a babysitter to watch Nora at our house.  Jackson loved hanging out with everyone. 

People who ran the race (minus Wendy)...Keith, Kyle, Jenny, Ashley, and Me
