Legacy Ball

Ryan & I went to Algona last weekend to surprise his mom and dad for the Algona Hospital fundraiser dinner and dance. They were the honorary chairs of the event. We had a great time and were able to leave the kids with a trusted friend here in Kansas City and enjoyed a night out by ourselves! I thought it was so fun to dress up....Ryan...not so much!

Sisterly Love

Twins again---Sydney thinks it is so fun to dress Reese up like her!

Sydney wanted a baby sister for so long, this is truly her dream come true and she is enjoying every minute of it!

Halloween Fun!

Fall Fun!

Sydney loves to hold Reese, it was a little scary at first, but I have to admit that she does a pretty good job of it!
Ben & "Reesey-Piecey" as he likes to call her!

Ryan & I got to get away last weekend and tailgate at the Iowa Homecoming game, it was freezing, but tons of fun!

Happy Fall Everyone!!! I can't wait for my first Halloween!!

My first 5k after Reese!

Me & my friend Cheryl after the race...so tired!

Some celebrities were on hand to entertain the kids!

Proud Mommy moment

I can't explain how proud I was to have Sydney come and read to my kindergarten class this week...it's one of those perks you get when you teach at the school your kids attend!

Growing up

Bennett is such a great big brother and Reese absolutely loves him!!!

Sydney did the Liberty High School cheerleading clinic and had a great time cheering and dancing at the Blue Jay football game!

Reese has made another milestone...eating cereal for the first time! She actually did pretty well with it and swallowed most of it. Is it terrible that I haven't had time to give it to her again since that night??
