Pumpkin Day!

After another crazy week... another fabulous weekend!

On Friday night Andrew had another away game so I went to the Mediapolis game at West Burlington. It was fun sitting by Mom and Marie but so sad to see my brother Brock on the side lines with crutches:( He had surgery on Monday and is doing well!

On Saturday, Andrew and I headed up to the Quad Cities to do a little shopping before we met up with Andrew's family. We got to eat at Red Robin which is always a treat and used our coupons for a free milk shake with a purchase of a burger! I ALWAYS stuff myself there! Yummm! After a little shopping we met Dad and Mom, Kevin and Melissa and their kids, and Dan and Anna at Harvest Bible Chapel for the evening service. Such a wonderful message and powerful worship! We all went back Dad and Mom's for dinner and a movie:)

Today was such a beautiful day! We woke up and had a wonderful breakfast. As soon as Annika and the girls got there we headed outside for our annual Pumpkin Day! We all helped pick gourds and pumpkins. There were so many and a big variety this year:) Then of course we had to take pictures! Here are some that we took...

The weather was perfect and everyone got to take home a pile of goodies. We missed having Zach, Ben and Sherry, and Abby and AJ there... We love you guys! Thanks Dad and Mom for a perfect day:)

We Love Weekends!

During football season Andrew and I especially love the weekends. Between coaching and lesson planning during the week, we get to spend one night together... maybe two if we are lucky! This is why we wish weekends were three days long instead of two. Oh well, I can handle it for 1 more month! This weekend was great! On Friday night, Andrew had an away football game so I went over to Aaron and Nichole's to hang out. Dustin and Leah came over too! I brought corn casserole and Aaron grilled. It was delicious! Then the girls and I had a little fun with my camera...

Thanks for letting us use your sunglasses Dust, you look the best in them. I love hanging out with my family! I had a fun evening... thanks so much Aaron and Nichole!

On Saturday, Andrew did lesson plans while I cleaned. That night we went to my good friend Anne's wedding reception. She looked so beautiful and I am so happy for her and Jonny! Here is a picture of the bridal party. Sorry it isn't very close up!

And here is a picture of Andrew and I at the reception.

I had fun talking with some old friends that I hadn't seen in a while and Andrew enjoyed walking around the old school where the reception was held. It was actually at the old school I used to go to for 4th-6th grade. It brought back many memories.

On Sunday after church we went out to eat at Diamond Dave's (we are never going to eat there again) and did a little shopping. We actually got to spend some quality time together in the evening and we were so thankful for it!
