Fall Break Bonanza

Happy Birthday, Amber! Amber turned 26 today! To celebrate, we partied on Saturday night with pizza, smoothies and craziness. Pictured above are Mckaylee, Amber, TJ, Tessa, Kira, Douglas, Gage and Nick. Also present at the above event were myself, Troy and my mom (in town to help out Brady and see the new baby).
Welcome to the world, Easton! Brady and Hillary had their little guy a few weeks ago. He was about a month early, and is still under 6 lbs. (though making fast gains). He is adorable and teeny! It was fun to take a peek at him.
This picture was taken up by Brady and Hillary's house. We tried to keep the kids busy playing outside for awhile. We enjoyed the fall leaves. The kids thought it was cool to hunt for deer tracks (and deer droppings). Notice all the blondies! Kira and Easton may turn out with dark hair. Only time will tell.
Kira enjoyed the hike while riding on daddy's shoulders. She was happy to be outside and loved watching the kids run around. She really likes being around children.

I enjoyed seeing my mom for a little while- it's a rare treat to have Grandma Olson around. We hope she'll come again for Thanksgiving and bring Grandpa, too! Thanks for a fun weekend, mom! Also, notice the do-rag TJ is sporting. He wore it all weekend in various ways. I'm glad school is back in session so his hair can be free from that sweaty thing (yikes).

Looks like a fun weekend. It is always great to have your Mom around! We miss seeing her just about as much as you all do! Happy Birthday Amber!

The kids had a lot of fun with their cousins. We enjoyed having your moms help. It was good to see you guys.
