GO BUCKEYES!!!

Saturday was a great day in Buckeye country! Brad and I got to go to the OSU game and had a great time. We got these awesome seats on the 35 yard line, row 10, visitors side from a friend at church. We get to go to the Iowa game too.

Our good friends the Weller's had a tailgate before and after the game for a bit. Brad and Kevin left at 6am to get to our RV spot and fun was had by all. Karol and Joni being hams as usual...

For some reason this picture says it all...it looks a little too natural for you Brad..love it!

Karol, Betsy, Me and Cathy. The Wellers were there, JoBeth, The Parks family, The Wimmers family, The McNabb family, Joni and her brother. The weather kept some others away, but we were all bundled up and had a great time.

Some of the kids. Jobeth had taken Katie to skull session, but this was the first game for the Wimmer girls, and Connor and Natalie.

Brad and Kevin were up and adam early to get everything set up for the RV, generator, tv, had sausage waiting for us upon arrival...

We stayed until about 4 minutes to go in the game. The weather was cold, and then in the 4th quarter the rain and wind started coming..We went back to the RV and tailgated a bit longer and then went home and crashed. A long day, but a very fun one!!

Missouri family...

Since I was off work on Friday, Brad's family has been wanting to travel to Springfield, Missouri to see some of Marvin and Marge's extended family. They rented a van and we were off Thursday night, we got a hotel and drove the remainder of the way on Friday. We spent all of Friday afternoon and evening with them and Saturday morning before venturing on the LONG way back. Emma did fairly well on the short trip...she did have a couple meltdowns which were to be expected I guess since you put a 2 year old in the car for that amount of time. It was a nice visit and here I captured a picture of Velma and her three children with our family.

Velma has been wanting to meet Emma since she was born, so she got a big smile on her face when Emma came up and gave her a big hug upon arrival. Velma is 93 years young...amazing. Brad will crack up because I get confused how all the family is related still, but I was glad to meet them all. We had a wonderful time at Bobby's beautiful house and dinner at Applebees.

Dance, Dance and more fun at Dance

Allright, so I had to share these pics because they are just tooooo darn cute!!!! Our neighbor Riley is in Emma's dance class with her. They are only 3 months apart and just loveeee each other to pieces. Deanna made the girls these two halloween tutu's so they matched each other. I thought that was so nice of her and the girls loved it that they matched....so what else to do then to snap a couple funnnn pics of them at the studio on the steps while we were waiting to go up. It was a funnnn night!

Leeds Farm with Emma and cousin Kaylee

My girls.... on Saturday Brad had a conference he had to attend and so I called Jody and asked if I could take the girls to Leeds Farm. I love this place!!! I had a blast with Emma and Kaylee! This picture was taken on the hayride, we did this last and they both were so tired that they were knodding off from being so tired.

The big pumpkin the kids can jump on...of course the girls had a blast. Kaylee was the big helper to Emma, she made if for awhile and then got frustrated when she fell and could not get up. I love this picture, because for awhile, they were the only ones jumping on it and it is huge!!!

In the barn, had fun climbing on the hay and going down the slides...they posed so cute!

The banana bus is a must of course! They insisted on riding together... they were a little smooshed, but it worked.

Of course there is animals and they roped me into buying food to feed them. I thought they would be scared, but they loved it!!

In one of the barns, they had two huge sandboxes filled with corn and trucks for the kids to play with. I thought I would never get the girls out of there! They loved it and laughed when I got in and my feet dissapeared!

Karol turns 40...

What a great time we had Friday night at Doc Henderson's celebrating Karol's BIG 40! Colin invited about 40 people to Doc's for a happy hour from 6-8pm. in honor of Karol. He had appetizers available and payed for all drinks during that time...yipppee. Needless to say, it was a great time! A couple of Brad's closest friends, Ken Kaufman, Shannon Moyer, Karol, Krista, me and Gretchen hung out most of the night together. Then we headed to Bennys to listen to Reganomics, but they had cancelled because of the rain, bummer...

Friends forever I know these four will be...

We got monarch spirit, yes we do...

So last night Emma and I ventured out to the BMS night game while Brad was at a meeting. We had a great time!! I got her all dolled up in her Marysville attire and we headed to the high school field. She had a blast running around and rolling down the hill.. then we headed to the stadium and she spotted all the paw prints. She decided to count them all and of course I had my camera with me, so she layed down on one of them and said, mommy take a picture of me! HOW FUNNY..so of course I did. She is at such a fun age right now I am loving it.. She does throw her 2 year old fits every once in a awhile, but for the most part she is a bundle of joy and wants to learn all the time!!

Audrey is now Mrs. Stowers...

Lets just say.... awesome, awesome, awesome!! Had a blast at my sisters wedding, her and Christopher know how to throw a party!! Everything turned out wonderful and the weather was good too! The tent was perfect and lots of dancing and drinking went on, so much fun!! Emma had a blast dancing with her cousin Kaylee and Aunt Audie and Brad. It was so cute!!!

The whole weekend was wonderful, I really wish them both nothing but happiness. Before the ceremony, was the only mishap. My great aunt and uncle came from grove city, my grandma weber's sister and she fell. We had to call the squad and it ended up she broke her hip. Poor thing..she is like 84. the minister did a wonderful job during the service. Kuddos to Holly and her two sisters, they did all the food and it was great. We had a pasta bar and salad.

The night was filled with dancing, thanks to Brad and Kelly getting everybody up and dancing, and pumpkin beer drinking, and a hilarious dance off, just a fun night!
