6 Years.....and 2 days!

Josh and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary on Friday. We enjoyed a night away in Des Moines on Saturday night.

The kids stayed with Grandma and Grandpa. They were also in Des Moines on Saturday. They went to take Logan home since his mom and dad are back from their honeymoon in Hawaii. Hope you had a great time, Brian and Sarah!

Anyway, Josh and I did some shopping (I know, how romantic!) and went to supper. After supper we went to Prairie Meadows for a little while. I hit it big on the nickel machines! I won $100. Such a high roller! The best part of the evening was getting carded there!

It was nice to get away for the weekend. Although, I'm always glad to get back home to the really important things (laundry). I don't know why it seems to multiply when you are away. How can the clothes fit in the suitcase so nicely on the way there, but have to be jammed in on the way home. Just one of the mysteries of life, I suppose.

I feel like it's been forever since I've blogged. Now that race season is over, we haven't been up to much. I will keep you posted if anything interesting happens to us!

Picking Pumpkins


We went to the pumpkin patch yesterday to get Paige a pumpkin. And yes, only Paige because, once again, certain members of the household are just "too cool" to participate in things like this!

She had to sit on the pumpkins to determine if it was the right size or not. Apparently a good jack-o-lantern has to be about butt high on a 4-year-old. The things I am learning as I get older.

She ended up getting 1 big pumpkin to carve and 4 little pumpkins because she's 4. The logic!
