Sweet Hadley Ann

I am about a week overdue in announcing the arrival of our new sweet niece Hadley Ann. Hadley was born on Sunday October 24th weighing 8 pounds 9 oz and measuring 20 inches long. Kelli did such an amazing job and Hadley is such a precious little bundle. The family is home now and doing great beside being sleep deprived. Hadley is one lucky little girl to have Kelli and Jason for parents. We love you guys and are so happy you brought such a special little person into our family.

Pumpkin Carving

We had a few friends over for a pumpkin carving night last Thursday. Briggs loves his little girlfriends and is delighted anytime he gets to spend time with them. We thought the kids would love the pumpkin carving but it turned out the adults did all the carving while the kids took multiple wagon rides. We have some pretty awesome Halloween decorated houses around us so we took the kids on haunted tours. Luckily no one got scared and we ended up with some pretty cute pumpkins. Briggs however did not enjoy the carving because he thought it hurt the pumpkins, maybe next year! More Halloween fun to come.

Run Megan Run

Saturday we headed out bright and early downtown to watch our fried Megan Earney run the Kansas City Marathon. Briggs was very happy because his cousin Allie got to make the trip with us. He adores Allie and loves having a playmate. We made about 3 stops along the course to cheer her on before heading to the finish line. Megan is an incredible runner and it is a blast watching her compete. She came in 2nd for the full marathon with a time of 2 hours 54 minutes. To do the math for you that means she ran 26.2 miles at an average of 6 min 30 sec per mile, makes me hurt thinking about it. Way to go Megan we are proud of you!

Birthday Festivities

We had a fabulous birthday week at our house. We were all exhausted by the end of the week and ready to be done celebrating. Hard to believe our little boy is two years old. We are thankful every single day that he is in our lives. Here are a few pictures from our week......

Briggs serving his spider cupcakes at his school party. He thought he was pretty special as he delivered each of his friends their treats.

Briggs birthday night at the top of the Shawnee Mission Park tower.

Throwing food to the little fish in the water.

Picnic in the park with Mom and Dad on his birthday. I know McDonald's, don't judge me I am pregnant.

Greg's birthday night we went to dinner with family and then home for blowing out candles over and over again. I am pretty sure they got blown out each by Briggs before Greg could even make his wish.

For my birthday Greg and I took Friday off work to have a childless day out and about. We had a nice relaxing breakfast, went shopping and had lunch out. It was so great to be able to have a full conversation while eating without food being thrown at you. I always love getting alone time with my husband. On Saturday night we met friends at great new restaurant in Leawood and had great food and great company. Made turning the big 3-0 not quite as daunting.

Thanks to all that helped to celebrate all our birthdays with us we appreciate and love you all.

Happy Brithday Greg

I want to wish my sweet husband a Happy Birthday. hard to believe you were a young 23 when we first meet. I can't think of anyone I would rather spend my life with. Thank you for being an incredible husband and Daddy. I look forward to many more birthdays together! Love you.

Funny Boy

Birthday Boy

Birthday week is off with a bang. With three birthdays in one week we tend to pack a lot of celebrating into a short time frame. Saturday we had the whole family over to celebrate Briggs turning 2. I think he was aware that he was he bell of the ball, he was pretty full of himself most of the day. He was so happy to see everyone showing up to our house and greeted all with squeals. Doe Doe had the cutest airplane cake made for him, he loved it. He also had his own personal cake which after a bit of hesitation he quickly destroyed. He received so many wonderful gifts, he is so spoiled by his family. He has so many new things to play with I think he does not know which one to choose first. We had such a wonderful day seeing our sweet little boy celebrate his special day. Crazy to think how much he has grown in a year. Stay tuned for more birthday fun!

An afternoon motorcycle ride.

Too cool swinging in our new garage swing.

Comparing baby bumps with Kelli. I think she has me beat!

The end result of the airplane cake!
