Our little man...

can sit up on his own now! We practiced a lot this weekend and by yesterday he was doing such a good job. He still falls over once in a while :)

Good job Ollie... we are so proud of you!

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving with Andrew's family this year! We had a wonderful time relaxing, catching up, eating, and playing games. Andrew and Dan had a fun time going to Walmart at midnight Friday morning. Then they woke up early to play disc golf with the rest of the men. They had a good time even though it was chilly!

I did remember to take some pictures:)

We are so thankful for wonderful family. We missed Ben & Sherry and AJ & Abby and can't wait to see them next summer! Thanks Dad and Mom for having us and all the yummy food and wonderful memories. We love you all!

5 Months

Our little man will be 5 months tomorrow! He can sit up for a little bit by himself but not too long. He loves sitting in his bumbo and watching whatever is going on. He is usually very content and already wants to play with things that aren't toys:)

Ollie and his cousin, Jake.

You are so easy and fun to have around, Buddy. We love you so much!

20 weeks

Here is our sweet little man at 20 weeks.

We love you Buddy!

Celebrating Mom

On Saturday we had fun celebrating my mom's 51st birthday at Aaron and Nichole's. Nichole and I made dinner and we just had fun hanging out and skyping with Dustin and Leah (we missed you too Brock!). Here is a picture with the boys and Grandma.

The girls with Grandma before we sang Happy Birthday and ate yummy Turtle Pumpkin Pie.

My wonderful parents.

We had fun watching Mom open her gifts. A fun surprise were the winter dishes Dad got her. I love them!
We are so thankful for you, Mom! Thanks for praying for us, loving us, and for all your wisdom. We love you!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Dad and Mom got back on Monday night, Mom's birthday! I was so glad I got to see her and celebrate with some Pumpkin Dessert:)

Happy Birthday Mom! You are beautiful inside and out. We are so blessed to have you as a mom and we love you SO much:)

Pat & Liz's

On Saturday, we headed up to Iowa City for a get-together with some friends. We met at Pat & Liz's to enjoy the beautiful day!

My brother, Brock, lives just down the street so he came over before the Iowa vs. Michigan St. game. Andrew got to go to the game with his dad and watch the Hawkeye's beat the Spartans! They had a good time. FYI Andrew is still an Iowa State fan:)

While Andrew was at the game Ollie and I stayed and hung out. We had so much fun catching up with friends, going on a walk, and eating yummy food.

Ollie and Liz...
Tori and I with our boys...
I'm bummed that those are the only pictures I got! Thanks so much Pat and Liz for having us, we can't wait until you come and visit us!

Watching Drew

This past week/weekend Ollie and I went up to Dad and Mom's to watch my brother, Drew, while my parents went to visit my brother, Dustin, and his wife, Leah, in Idaho. Andrew came up on Thursday night and for the weekend to be with us. Ollie and I had so much fun hanging out at Papa and Grandma's house! (It would have been even more fun if they would have been there:)

I'm pretty sure that it was the easiest baby sitting job I have ever had :) Dad and Mom had a great trip to Idaho and we can't wait to see Dustin and Leah in a couple of weeks!
