Christmas 2012

We had a Great Christmas this year and even got to go back to Iowa and KC for the first time in years.

Here's just a few pics from our holidays!



On the Friday before Christmas, we headed towards home and made our first stop in Warrensburg, MO at our annual "Not So Silent Night" party.  We were so excited to see all our friends!  We miss you guys!!!



It was Cold - but we had a little fire going!

Who shoveled the stairs?

We had so much fun - hope we get to go again next year!!!

Next we had Christmas in KC with Zach's mom on Saturday night...

And then to Zach's Dad and Donna's on Sunday...

And then to Iowa for my side of the fam...

Chase Loves that Santa is on the deck at my mom and dad's - it was the 1st thing he looked
for when we got to thier house!



My Side of the Fam including Great Grandma Pete!

And then back to Louisville after Christmas to find out that Santa visited us there too!!!

We had a great Christmas and are very blessed to have wonderful family and friends to share it with.  We're looking forward to 2013 being another great year with many big things to come for this family! 



It's Fall!

A few weeks ago, our friend Kelly came to visit.  While she was here, went to visit some of her friends who own The Little Kentucky River Winery in Trimble County, KY - the weather was perfect! Here's just a few shots of our day!  

Emma loved the huge leaves we found

  

Kelly and the kiddos!

My sweet Boy

I can totally move this tree mom - see...

 

 

They has so much fun playing outside the entire day and were exhausted by the time we got home!  Thanks for visiting Kelly - lets do it again soon!

A little more Halloween...

I've been MIA since before Halloween - I can't really give you a reason - just been busy!  So here's the rest of Halloween!

I think this is his first time actually helping carve the pumpkins...he thought the insides were pretty gross!

This is the face he thought most looked like his pumpkin!

Let me explain this photo...Each year we have a pumpkin carving contest.  But as I mentioned...we've been Really busy!  So when we finally did get ready to carve pumpkins and mine was all moldy ad gross inside...there was no time to run out and get a new one.  (So that's how I really lost the pumpkin carving contest of 2013!) 
Sad display of pumpkins - we'll do bettter next year - I promise!

First Skating Party

Sometime after Boo at the Zoo and before Halloween, Emma went to her first Skating Party!  She was a little nervous at first - but figured it out right away and had a great time! 

Here's just a few pictures of her and her girls at the party!

Being goofy with her friends!

Horrible photo - but she was out there on her own!  Big Girl!

They might have had the most fun after the skates were off doing the Hokey Pokey!

Boo at the Zoo 2012

Last weekend we took the kids to Boo at the Zoo! 

We went with our friends and the kids had a great time as usual...enjoy the photos!

September Photo Dump

September was rather boring compared to the rest of our year.  Work had picked up for Zach and the kids and I didn't have much going on!  Here's a quick photo dump of a boring September...

Zach I and snuck in a trip to a friend's wedding in South Carolina

(Congrats Brad and Kinsey!)...beautiful drive

 Zach got in a race or two...

We went to Disney on Ice...the kids LOVED it again of course...

Pretty sad photo dump - but don't worry - October is already in better shape!
