Pumpkin Carving

Camryn was the master gutter this year! She was so good, she helped Carson with his. Jerrod and I wouldn't have had to help with anything other than the carving if we didn't want to! I can't resist squishing the "guts!"

Ultimately, we ended up carving a bunch of dog bones on Camryn's, and Carson wanted a "sad pumpkin!" Forgot to take pictures of the finished product.

My favorite time of year!!

HA!! I made Jerrod take this picture with me!

Uncle Nick and Aunt Anna

I thought Camryn looked absolutely gorgeous that day!

Grandpa Brink brought over his Percheron horses and wagon for the wedding party to have a ride after the ceremony.

Camryn was a "dancing queen!" She loved dancing to "Put a Ring on It" and "Apple Bottom Jeans!"

After a nap Carson came alive and was really "getting down!"




A little fun at the hotel pool Sunday morning!

The end of our trip to Iowa was spent in Sioux Center where we set up for and had fun being a part of Uncle Nick and Aunt Anna's wedding! Carson did great as the ring bearer and Camryn as the flower girl. It was so much fun to see family that we hadn't seen in 10 years since our own wedding! Camryn and Carson, Jerrod and I were honored to be asked to be a part of their special day! Congratulations, Uncle Nick and welcome to the family Anna!

IOWA

Wow! What a whirlwind trip. We started out Saturday morning the 25th of September for Iowa with a FULL car and an extra passenger! This was Cooper's first trip to Iowa. We made it to Maquoketa to stay with Grandpa Rich and Judy by 5:45 that night! The kids had fun riding Grandpa's 4-wheeler and discovering all of the candy corn throughout their house!

Sunday afternoon we headed to Aunt Jenny's farm where the kids enjoyed all of Alex's ride-on toys, kittens, ducks, chickens, and trampolines! We were also able to watch Olivia play a couple of volleyball games and see some of Megan's science projects. Camryn was even brave enough to take a combine ride!

Wednesday we headed to Britt for Grandma and Grandpa Keith's. The kids had fun checking out Grandpa's new golf cart and even playing 22 holes! Grandma wondered what had happened to them! Camryn filled her in on the details...

We had SOOO much fun and the weather couldn't have been better!
