Twins? Nope, Mother and Daughter!

This is a picture of me and my cousin Heather in my Uncle Steve and Aunt Donna's wedding when I was 3.

This is Lilly in the same dress!

Picture Day at the Park

The first day of November was so beautiful that we decided to head to Pioneers Park and take some pictures. The kids had a great time hiking around and we got some neat pictures!

First Snow

This post is out of order, but I still wanted to make sure it got posted! October 10th we woke up to snow! It wasn't a lot, but there were a couple of inches. The kids were so excited and couldn't wait to get outside and play!

Catching Up

I have no idea where the last month went, but I think I am finally caught up with the last few weeks of blogging. Keep reading, you might have to click Older Posts to see all of the new ones!

Halloween!

The kids had quite the Halloween this year! First, we went to Boo at the Zoo on Monday and trick or treated at the zoo. There were lots of people there and we got to ride a bus! Lilly really enjoyed the bus! The kids were dressed as Superman and Supergirl. It was really planned, that is just what they chose to be! Thursday night we went to Trick or Treat at the Children's Museum. This was nice because it was inside, but there weren't really as many people giving out candy. Lilly was mad most of the time too because she wanted to play, not trick or treat. Finally we were able to let them play on the lower level of the museum. When we left that night, it was pouring down rain!!!

On Halloween day, Lilly wanted to wear her costume all day. One of the most important things I have learned as a parent is to pick your battles, this was not one I wanted to pick. So Lilly wore her costume to Misty's restaurant to celebrate Bernie's surprise 80th birthday, then to church, then trick or treating.

This year we went trick or treating around our neighborhood. It was such a beautiful night for it! We set off around 6:00 and got home around 8:00. I could not believe all the candy the kids got! It was amazing! We only had a few trick or treaters after we got home, so we had a lot of our candy left too. All in all, I think the kids had a great time and they looked super cute!

Pumpkin Carving!

This year both kids really got into carving the pumpkins. Braxton is not a big fan of scooping out the insides, but Lilly loved every minute of it!

San Francisco ~ Coming Home

Sunday Geneva had to be to the airport much earlier than the rest of us. So Stacey took her first thing. It was so great to see my sister those few days (hours really!). We had a great time! While she was gone, we got to meet Stacey's roommate, she was getting ready to fly to Texas. Since her flight was only 1 hour after ours, Stacey was just going to take us all at the same time! We got everything loaded up and headed out. As we turned towards San Jose Airport, where Jodi and I were flying out of, the roommate asked where we were going. Turns out, she was flying out of San Francisco. WHOOPS! Good thing her flight left an hour after ours! We got checked in with no problems and waited for our plane. Nothing too exciting on the flights home. We were just exhausted and ready to be back with our families! Next time we travel though Jodi, we are bringing these!

We got back to Omaha where Chad and the kids picked us up. We dropped Jodi off and headed home. I had such a great weekend! Thanks girls! I think a yearly trip is a great idea! Next year, New York???
