Trick-Or-Treating Fun!!!

Last night was Brady's first ever Halloween! The weather was less than ideal so we decided to go to Bass Pro Shop to Trick-or-Treat as they were having indoor fun for kids. So we all caravaned to Altoona (Jon/Jen/Jackson/Joel, Bryce/Meggie/Luke and Travis/Ashley/Tessa). We had 5 kiddos that were SO cute all dressed up. We had 2 giraffes, a monkey, a bumble bee and Super Man. Check out the pics below...all the kids had so much fun. It was such a great idea to go indoors!

There's a monkey on the loose!

Mommy, I love wearing my costume!

Even monkeys can play with toys


It's fun to be on daddy's shoulders

Our on-the-go boy decided he wanted to take off while I was in the middle of changing his diaper...he really wanted to play...this picture just cracks me up! Had to post it! :-)

Halloween Preview...Our Little Monkey

Here are some pics from Brady's little photo shoot we had a couple weeks ago...he'll get to wear his costume tonight when he goes Trick-or-Treating for the first time...we're so excited for him to experience it! :-)

He just loved to push the pumpkins all over

I think I'll eat some mulch now...yum, yum!

Little Miss Logan Geisler

On Sunday we went to Norwalk to visit Mike, Kristin, Eli and their newest addition, little miss Logan Geisler. She is such a sweet little baby and oh so cute! Eli and Brady played a little together, and we were able to catch up with Mike and Kristin. It was great seeing them and thier newest blessing.

GO HAWKEYES!!!

Yesterday was a great day to be an Iowan! With the Cyclones beating the Huskers (sorry Dad!) and the Hawks winning a close game! We headed over to Jon and Jenn's for a fun night with our friends to watch the game and eat some good food! It was a great time getting all the kiddos together too and Brady LOVED seeing their cat Sophie. I know at some point we're going to have to get him a pet. He absolutely loves dogs and cats (which he gets from his father) and I'm glad he likes them. I would probably like them more if I didn't have a few unfortunate encounters with dogs growing up. Earlier yesterday we decided to take advantage of the nice weather and go to the Geisler Family Farm which has a pumpkin patch, etc...we were hoping to do a hay ride but with all the rain we've gotten over the week, the ground was just too soft. Oh well! We were able to get outside and enjoy the weather. Today Brady and I are hanging out while daddy has to go into work for a few hours (on a Sunday---yuk!) as his department is starting up a new system today. We'll have fun and run a few errands, etc.

Playtime!

Here are some random shots of Brady playing!

Where have we been?

Okay so I've been bad at updating lately! We've had lots going on, that's for sure! Last week our babysitter took some time off for her son's wedding so Brady was able to go back to Kimballton to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa Petersen. He had a great time! He has been cutting 2 more bottom teeth so last weekend he had a fever and was a little crabby and just wasn't himself but he's back to his happy self now! Yay! We had another busy week at work this week and it's already Sunday now and so it's off to another busy week! I know this isn't much of an update but Brady will be waking up any minute and I wanted to post a little something!
