a visit from Grandma

Grandma came to visit us for one week in October.

Aaron celebrated his birthday during that week...

and we also celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary!

Thanks, Mom!

We got to get a lot done with your help here and the kids always have fun with you.

Miss you and can't wait for your next visit!

Owen's 2nd Birthday

Owen turned 2 years old the end of August also!

We had fun at home, with just our small family celebrating.

He had a fun day with Mommy while Daddy was working and Riley was at school.

We bought balloons, went shopping at Target, stopped at a playground and headed home for lunch.

After school, the kids had some more playground fun!

At night we went to Applebee's for a kid friendly dinner and came home for cake and presents.

Our big boy is 2 now!!

he woke up as a 2 year old!
