Happy Birthday Jet!

Jet turned 4 on Saturday!
I can't believe it! Where did the time go....

Anyway here are some photos of the party we had for him... His "super cool" monster truck cake mommy made for him
Here he is trying to break open the pinata

It was a great party, Jet had a great time and we appreciate everyone who came to help celebrate his big day!

Happy 5 Years!!

In an earlier post I told you that we had been too busy over the weekend to post anything. It's because we were celebrating our 5 year wedding anniversary! How crazy to think it's been 5 years already! My parents too the kids for the weekend so we could have some time to ourselves, which we did nothing with really, just hanging out and a little shopping and of course we went out to dinner. But that's all the really how exciting the weekend was. So I thought I'd add a few photos to highlight the past 5 years.... First, what better to get at work but a huge boquet of flowers!
Our bachelor/bachelorette parties were on the same night and together, we just went to the Royals/White Sox game with our best friends Natalie and Kyle
The wedding was beautiful, we got married at home plate of the AAA field in Emporia. (This photo is awful, I realized I don't have many photos of the wedding on CD, they're all just prints)
Our honeymoon in New York, here's us in Times Square after we had gone to a Yankee's game

Then back to school for us, me to graduate school and Andy to get his athletic training degree


Then along came Jet Gabriel

And a year after Jet we graduated college (finally) moved to Kansas City and got real jobs

Then a sad time for us, we lost Andy's Dad and a baby we'd been expecting in the same week

But we made it through and had not one but two baby girls, Harleigh Kathryn and Rogue Alexis

And here we are 5 years (as of October 11) later, 3 kids, 3 degrees and Andy back in school getting his firefighter/EMT certifications, real jobs, and having a great time. It's not always easy, but it's always been worth it.

Thanks husband for being the best ever, it's been a great ride so far and I can't wait to see what the future brings for us!

Wordless Wednesday-- Daddy's Girls

Long Time No Post

So it's been over a week and I must apologize to our followers for the lack of posting (okay I realize there's only 2 that I know of, but sorry Grandma) So what have we been doing that's been keeping us so busy that I couldn't post photos.....Honestly not much, it's been more of a technology issue! One day I went to download photos and found our camera battery dead and it has a special rechargeable battery so you can't just change it, so I fixed that only to find the entire neighborhood had no cable, no cable means no internet so by the time they fixed that it was the weekend and we were busy! Jet and the girls went to my parents so Andy and I could enjoy an entire weekend to ourselves! Crazy, but it was great, I'll fill in more in a later post as the girls aren't going to let me do this much longer.....

Other than that, the kids played really good. Jet is counting everything now and pretty accurate so that's good. Harleigh is standing on her own lots and lots and she can go from sitting to standing without anything to hold onto. Rogue got her 3rd adn 4th teeth last week. They both discovered how to climb onto the couch and end table. And they spent some quality time playing with their Bubba and the zoo animals set he gave them.....

They love it!
See...
They also love to get in the basket it's stored in..
And what one does the other must do as well!
Jet working on some puzzles Nanny got him!

Enjoy and I promise new photos won't be so far away next time!

Pumpkin Huntin'

Today we went to the pumpkin patch in Platte City with our friends Charli and Megan and their families. It was a great time. There was a haybale maze, a corn stalk maze, a pick your own field and wheel barrows to help haul pumpkins (kids) in. There were also beautiful mums and lots of room for the kids to run and play.
