September and October Birthdays

 Emma our youngest daughter keeps us on our toes. We can't decide if she is keeping us young or making us age faster. She is full of energy, life and personality. She recently turned 3. Below our some pictures of our celebrations.

She made out with the presents!

She had her cake picked out months ahead of time

Good to have both my bro's and families here to celebrate.

Caleb also turned 15 in October. Here are some pics from his celebrations. He got two since we were in Kansas City for his actual birthday and then we invited the family over when we got back.

When we were with Jacob we also celebrated with him for his birthday, but unfortunately he was on his own for his actual birthday. 

Trip to Kansas City and Mississippi

 We were grateful for some time away during the kids fall break to go and see Levi and Alanna in Kansas City and Jacob in Mississippi. They are all doing well as you can see in some pics below. We had a fun time although it was a lot of driving.

Levi got some lovings from his sisters

This was the highlight of the trip! Luke got to ride in Levi's space car. He combined Jake's job with Space Force and Levi's job with security on campus and called the police car the space car.

Of course the girls had to get in it too!

We celebrated Jake's bday while we were there

Jake and Ben did some hiking in Mississippi

This is in Levi and Alanna's apartment.

We played some games of course

Lots of snuggle bug hugs for Jake as Emma calls them.

The house where we stayed in Mississippi was a 100 year old home.

It was nice to have Uncle Dan come over and see us too. They only live about an 1 hr or so from where we were.
