Cookie Time

I have been baking up a store this holiday season. I made 4 dozen for my Public Library as a fundraiser and 2 dozen for MOPS and another 2 dozen for my church. The boys loved helping me with these.

We hosted Thanksgiving at our house this year and my Grandparents from Stockton and my mother from Salina came down. After the turkey meal we made sugar cookies. Owen would only make a present and he always took the center of the dough.

Every year I normally make Santa cookies out of Nutter Butter's but this year I tried the mice! Aren't they the cutest!

My family is grateful for all the wonderful people in our lives

We would like to thank all of our family and friends for the food, prayers, gifts, and phone calls. We are so grateful to have such caring people in our lives. Without this support we wouldn't be as strong as we are.

We lost our baby on Monday. We were 19 weeks pregnant and very excited for this new baby to be in our lives. This is the second child we have lost and needless to say it doesn't get any easier. We are blessed to have two amazing little boys that are energetic and so lovable.

I will be taking a blog break and focusing on my family for awhile. I know you understand and I thank you for your patience.

Kids say the darnest things

Yesterday afternoon we needed to get out of the house. We went and did a drive by the zoo. The animals were really active due to the colder weather. Owen says,"Mom, dad, don't go closer the bear will turn you into poop!" We laughed so hard. But how true if the bear eats you he will turn you into poop. There you have it from a 4 year old perspective.

Owen's new thing...Cont.

For some reason the first video wouldn't play once I published it but was fine before hand. So we will try again. This is the 1st video where he is trying oh so hard to tuck that shirt in. You will laugh so hard! Don't forget to check the post below this one. So you get the full story! Enjoy!

Owen's new thing....

On Oct. 12th Owen's preschool class sang songs at church. I was so proud of Owen, he did great! He had been singing these songs all week at home. I couldn't wait to see him perform.

Owen's new thing is every shirt has to be tucked in no matter how short it is! In the first video you will see him doing just that. By the second video it is nicely tucked in and he can sing and do the actions. I just sat with daddy and Miles in the pew laughing so hard. But come on, that shirt is too short to be tucked in! :)

We took Grandma JJ and Grand Dad E with all their grandboys to Browndale

Browndale farms is right outside of Clay Center and they have alot of outdoor activities. We spent the entire afternoon there. The boys played in the corn, ran through the corn maze, and played on the zip line. We also took a 30 min. hayride. All the boys had a great time and we look forward to going next year.

Mom tape us up and send us to Connor's House

While I was checking my email and looking at blogs I kept hearing the boys talking. I stopped for a second to listen and Owen was asking me to bring him the tape and send him to Connor's house.

Owen's best friend is Connor and he lives in St. Louis and they have known each other before they could hold their heads up. They are two peas in a pod. I laughed and of course called Melissa and told her the story and she wanted a pic of them in the box. How cute is this!

This is a HUGE sign that they need to come visit this month!! (hint)
