Quite an 'accomplishment' you could say, or better yet.....something to really celebrate. Brad's brother and wife took it in their hands to plan a party for Dean and Jo. We didn't quite know what the weather would do since we are in mid-October, but wow.....we couldn't have been more pleased! The weather was just beautiful!!!
We bundled the kids up, Dylan got Grandma some fresh roses and we were off to celebrate. It was really great to see a ton of family from both sides of the family and a lot of family friends also. The guys huddled in the garage not too far from the television to watch the Iowa / Michigan game. They cheered loud and proud when the Hawkeye's pulled out a victory! Dylan had so much fun running around and playing with his cousin Jordan. Uncle Tony and Uncle Nick also had a lot of fun with Dylan. He had them doing all sorts of crazy things, not sure who had more fun Dylan....or his Uncles!Dylan & Jordan! 4 months apart!

We had Danielle at the doctor earlier in the morning. Sadly she caught the Bronchitis Dylan and I both had that I brought home from work. I had just been waiting to take her in thinking she would get better. Well after a week it wasn't going away, thank goodness we went in because the doctor said it could have quickly turned to Pneumonia :( So she got an antibiotic, and thankfully didn't need a steroid. So she just relaxed all day and loved the extra snuggles she got.
GO HAWKS!
We ended the evening out at Brad's Aunt Linda's house. Brad and his cousins were in rare form, I have not laughed that much in a long time. The kiddo's were sound asleep and Aunt Linda had them all tucked in while we sat up and enjoyed the good family company. It was a wonderful day, the weather was beautiful and we could not have asked for anything more!Dylan helping Uncle Nick, he said he was the 'king' of the truck!
Today we were on the hunt for some Pumpkins. When we ventured to Bloomsbury last weekend Dylan didn't want to take the time to bring home pumpkins for him and Danielle. Well all week long he has been asking when he can pick out his very own pumpkin. Silly boy.....so today we did just that! We visited a local Pumpkin Patch and had so much fun out in the patch on the lookout for perfect pumpkins for our kiddo's! 
Dylan wasn't quite sure how to get the 'wood stuff' off the pumpkin stem. Don't think he quite understood how the pumpkins grow, but he was pleased when he broke the stem right off the vine and he 'freed' the pumpkin! He picked a couple out and we looked at the kids taking Pony rides. He wasn't thinking he wanted to do that though, he was more concerned about getting to the big Hy-vee store. Crazy kid gets so excited to grocery shop which was our next stop for the day! But he was very happy to have his very own BIG pumpkins at home! The pumpkin patch is also coming to his pre-school so he will get to bring another pumpkin home next week!
We had a great weekend together, spending time with family which was very nice! I sat back and tried to imagine years and years from now when Brad and I will celebrate 35 years of marriage.....seems like such a long ways away. We will cherish every single day of every single year up until then! Marriage is such a beautiful gift and I am SO lucky to be married to the man of my dreams, the best husband and father for our children. He is my gift! These kiddo's sure were busy the past couple days and are pooped out tonight. All snuggled in bed preparing for a busy week! Sleep tight little ones, sleep tight. Thank you lord for our family~
