Pumpkin Farm

This past weekend Kyle's parents came down

to visit and we went to Carroll's Pumpkin

Farm in Grinnell. Here Chloe is showing us how

tall she is this fall.

Riding a miniature John Deere Tractor!

Kyle and his dad had fun shooting ears of corn

but much to my dismay didn't win any free

popcorn!!


Grandma Judy and Chloe walking back to the

farm from the pumpkin patch.


Grandpa Rog and Chloe checking out the

tractors.


Chloe loved scooping corn! She also tried to

eat it a few times but that's besides the point!!

We had a lot of fun at the pumpkin farm! Thanks

to Kyle's parents for accompanying us to Grinnell

despite some minor mishaps (does not hardly

getting the pastor to the church on time for a

wedding count as minor??)

Happy Birthday Kyle!!

Kyle's Birthday was yesterday. Here Chloe is
sitting nicely on his lap for a picture...

Literally 2 seconds later...now she is sick of the
camera and refusing to sit on Daddy's lap...

Note that now she is not in the picture!!! But
the sign that she and Grandma made that says
"Happy Birthday Daddy" is proudly displayed:)

Happy Birthday Kyle!! We love you!!

Chicago Marathon Weekend

Kyle, Chloe, and I traveled with my parents
to Chicago this past weekend to cheer on my sister
as she ran her first marathon. Congrats Tasha
for finishing 26.2 miles!! Doesn't she look awesome
for just running that far?!?


Here is Chloe wearing the Energizer Bunny hat
for Aunt Tasha but also for herself! She didn't
nap all day!!

Chloe congratulating Aunt Tasha on a well run
race!

Here is one of the sights in Chinatown which
is where we watched most of the marathon.

Up ahead you can see my dad running a little
ways with Tasha to encourage her on! This
is at mile 21!

We had a great time and are very proud
of Tasha running 26.2 miles for World Vision.

"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do,
do it all for the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31.

A Beautiful October Wedding

This past Saturday we went to good friend
Kevin DZ's wedding in Newton. It was held
outside and it was gorgeous! We all had a lot of fun.
Here Chloe is trying on Daddy's sunglasses
(upside down of course!!).


Chloe made some new friends with the people sitting
next to us...



We got to hang out with friends Alan & Angie. Isn't
this an adorable picture?!?

As you can tell, the wedding was a lot of fun...best wishes
to Kevin and Julie as they start their new life together
in Seattle! Oh, and by the way...feel free to move back
to Pella anytime:)
