Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Last Sunday we had our second Thanksgiving at Teresa & Lester's. Ollie gave Liam his toolbench. Of course he had to show him how to play with it!

Ollie & Uncle Lester watching something on my phone.  It was great to see everyone and get caught up and of course the food was awesome!

Thanksgiving Day - Maw Maw & Papa Stu got in town late Wednesday evening so Ollie was excited to get over there Thursday morning.  Maw Maw had a treat waiting for Ollie & Ivy!

Later we went to Papa's to celebrate my birthday and then we headed over to Aunt Patti's for our last Thanksgiving dinner!  Ollie & Patti were boxing on the Kinect and he beat her everytime.  That kid has moves!

Friday after Thanksgiving we put up our Christmas decorations and then headed over to Maw Maw's to help put her decorations up too!

Rock N Roll Half Marathon

Sunday, October 21, 2012 - Erin and I ran the St. Louis Rock N Roll Half Marathon (not to mention Erin was 12 weeks pregnant)!!! I have the best sister in the world for running this race with me!  It was an awesome experience!!!

Starting the race we are smiling for the cameras.

Getting close to the finish.

Whoo hoo!!! We made it!!!

1st Thanksgiving of 2012

Today we had our first of three Thanksgivings this year. Can you tell I MADE all three guys pose for this picture with me?  They are all thrilled for the impromptu family pic! 

Have you ever seen anyone eat pumpkin pie with their hands?  Ollie is quite good at it!

Awe, brothers watching Toy Story 3 after dinner.

Ivy really likes Toy Story 3.  I think it is time she is introduced to the original. 

It was a day of great company and great food. 

Surprise Trip to CA!!!

Maw Maw & Papa Stu bought Ollie & I tickets to visit them in CA for the weekend! We didn't tell Ollie until it was time to wake up and go to the airport at 4am Friday morning! He was so surprised and excited! Ollie just loves Mustangs and Corvettes.  So Papa Stu let him check out the old tyme Mustang in their garage.  We found out the horn works very well!

 

Maw Maw sent Ollie on a scavenger hunt for a prize!  He had to read the clues to find the present.

Army legos!

On Saturday we went to Adventure City and rode some rides! 

They also had a petting zoo!

And a rock climbing wall!  Ollie made it to the very top with no help, what a little monkey!

We flew home on Sunday.  It was a quick trip but we had a great time and it was nice to spend time with Maw Maw & Papa Stu!

 

Monday evening was Ollie's first wrestling practice.  Imagine 35 little boys (7 & under) in a small gym room wrestling...yikes!  It was crazy...I think I will go out and run on the track during practice from now on!
