What's up?

Well we finally caught up with laundry and rest after last week. We had a great time traveling to KC and Emporia. In KC we got to see my family, and we had such a good time! We stayed at Matt's house for 2 nights and spent Thursday at the pumpkin patch with Matt and my Dad. We did the corn maze, played on the haystacks, took a hayride, and picked pumpkins at the Louisberg pumpkin patch. We carved the pumpkins that night. Here's how they turned out:



Ethan's pumpkin is on the far left (done with Daddy's help); Matt's is the next- he gave up on his picture and decided to do the old fashion version, though it turned out looking like a monkey!; Sean's pumpkin is next (done with Mommy's help); and Kaitlyn's pumpkin is next (done with Matt's help). It was great to spend a couple days with my family, and the kids really enjoyed seeing them.

We went to Emporia on Friday. We wanted to be there to help do whatever needed to be done for the wedding and to be there for Mindy. Mindy and Nathan had close family at the wedding, and they got married in the pasture just to the north of the Anderson's home. It was a great weekend of family and friends all just truly happy and excited for Nathan and Mindy. The ceremony was beautiful, a little cold, but beautiful. Mindy was glowing and just so happy! She looked absolutely beautiful! After their ceremony we went back to the Anderson's home to take pictures and then off to Topeka to eat at Johnny Carino's. It was a really nice time with both families. Jarod and I also got to spend that evening and Sunday with his parents and Cory. I love spending time with them, and I am so thankful for them! Congratulations to Nathan and Mindy! We are so happy for you!
