A long awaited update.





It has been a while since posting on this site. I have been saying I need to keep up the blog. . . I really am going to try. This last 2 months has been a whirlwind of events. In late September we found out that baby # 3 is on the way. . .Since then we have had family pictures. Maren's 2nd, Race for the Cure, Halloween, Ian's 4th Bday, Thanksgiving and all the activities in between. I will post some new pictures and hopefully get everyone caught up :)

We went with a Transformers theme for Ian's B-day this year. This is the cake I made. Not even kidding, the thing weighs about 30 lbs! Most of it is frosting. Eric was giving me a hard time because I filled gaps in with frosting instead of shaving the cake down with a knife. Oh Well! I also attempted the checkerboard cake, which didn't turn out the greatest. OH WELL. We had a cake and a small get together. Ian got a lot of great things including Transformers, transformer blanket and pillow, clothes, a transformer computer thingy, a Leapster 2, Legos, and even a water gun!(Transformer of course) He had fun and is loving his loot.

Thanksgiving this year was once again, spent down at Kansas City @ Mark and Denise Schieber's House. There were about 44 in attendance (from what I counted) It was great to see everyone! This year Mark and Denise hired this guy in a truck to come over. The truck was filled with PS3 and Xboxes. He also had a laser tag game to play. It was a hit.

After leaving KC we decided to make a stop back in Walnut and help Nick and Barb with Christmas Decor. . . Ian helped plug in and check to see if lights worked while Eric climbed the roof and hung lights. Maren just made sure everyone was doing what they were supposed to be doing. We got a lot done. Barb and I got a jump on Christmas candy and got the Cherries done, since they need to sit and get the liquid on the inside.
